EDHEM PASHA.
\ war Cor-espondent's View of the
Turkish General.

Turkish General.
Edhem Pasha understands war thor
oughly, but Il took him little time to
appreciate the functions OF war cory
respondent. He seemed to think that
the latter should be hedged about by
many restrictions, tenderly fostered
and safely deposited during battle
among the baggage animals and the
knights of the hospital. 1t was some
time before he realized that the ex-
pectation of witnessing and describing
a battle was the one thing which pro-
cured him the honor of these gentle
mems company in his camp. One anx-
ious morning, at time when war was
thought to be imminent, on sending
round to headquarters IL appeared that
the general and all his staff had fitted
during the night and had gone no man
would say whittier. No orders had been
left and the guards would allow no one
to pass. Here was case of dire disap
pointment, but no man may run the
gauntlet of an Albanian guard with
impunity. When the general returned
joint representation was made and he
was entreated not to allow this kind of
thing to occur again. He expressed
his penitence and promised timely
warning of any unexpected move.
1t may be interesting to mention that
Edhem Pasha, the central figure of this
little world, is about AS years of age,
though he looks older. He is rather
above middle height and wears short,
thick, black beard, already fiecked with
gray. His nose is straight and rather
long, but his most interesting feature
is his gray eyes, which are large and
intelligent. His manner is very at
tractive-a mixture of that courtesy
and dignity which are not uncommon
among Turkish officers.
He does not strike one as a strong
man physically, though ! am told he is
hard worker and does not spare him
self. His manner of talking is as a rule
quiet and marked by much refinement
and gravity; but it grows animated
when subject kindles his interest,
and his eyes glow with enthusiasm.
1t is difficult to judge of a mans sense
of humor through the barriers of a
strange language. His style of life is
simple and he has none of the oriental
love of display. In character he seems
to be straightforward and sincere,
frank and truth-loving. Trickery and
intrigue, diplomacy and politics he alike
detests. His subordinates and those
who see him more intimately are very
fond of him.
He treats u.s." ore of the aids-de-
camp said to me. mot as superior,
but as a father."-London Telegraph.

A Room Eor Irlsh 0oods.

There is ali old and we'll known
poem, says an exchange, which shows
how fashion rules the world Kings
and Emperors are subject to its sway,
society is ruled by 1t, and even the al
most supreme power of love is moth
ing to it. In these days fashion is
largely the guide for numerous fac
tories and the fortunes of cities and
of multitudes Of men are made or i'm
paired by a change of modes.
1t may be that the gracious tact of
the young Duchess of York, who will
one day be Queen of England, during
her recent visit to Ireland may revive
the languishing industry of the land.
1t is said that all the gowns the
Duchess wore during her tour were
trinhed with the beautiful lace for
which Ireland is famous. Many of
tho gowns themselves were Irish
Fpoplins and lawns, embroidered by
the Irish nuns One gown was of
white silk, embroidered all over with
golden shamrocks, roses and thistles,
the emblems of Ireland, England
and Scotland.
Irish manufacturing industries have
suffered grievously in the past by un-
just laws discriminating against them. !
1t may be the result OF this visit of
the Duke and Duchess OF York to
make Irish goods fashionable, and so
create a demand for them which will
bring prosperity to a long-struggling
population. 1t is related that some
time ago the Prince Of Wales, learn
ing that certain great English silk |
factory was losing its trade and be-
coming embarrassed, ordered several
silk waistcoats Of peculiar pattern
to be made by the mill This set the
fashion and the mill regained its
trade.

Reeder Resigns.

A new trouble has sprung up in the
Republican camp, or rather an old
one has been revived and has taken
on its original form, but with con
siderably greater intensity. The sum
and substance of the matter, as re-
ported, is that Secretary Of the Com
monwealth Gen. Frank Reeder has
resolved to sever his official connec-
tion with the state administration
and tie his political fortunes with
those OF Senator Quay. In a word,
the gentleman named prefers Quay to
Hastings, and therefore. felt awkward
i'm a position supposed to be in har-
mony with the Governor, and yet
acting in a party sense in full keeping
with the Governors most prominent
political opponent. AS result Gen.
Reeder rendered his resignation as
Secretary of the Commonwealth, at
the request OF the Governor, and the
same takes effect to-day.
1t is said there is quite a good deal
OF interesting history connected with
the resignation, the details of which
largely confirm it, though the parties
to it themselves decline to say yea or
nay when questioned in regard to it,
From this brief recital Of facts it be
comes very apparent that there is
likelihood OF trouble in the state in
the near future, as Gov Hastings is
known to have a warm side for the
Combine. Gen. Reeder's place, it is
said, will be filed by prominent
Combine leader, and the fight viii in
ali probability be continued vigor
Ously Throughout the entire state.
The vacant position has been ten
