ABBAs H., THE KHED1vE.
arch Whom England Does
Not Like.

Abbas II. seems bent upon making
himself impossible, and in the event of
his deposition becoming necessary the
readiest substitute would appear to be
his younger brother, who from child
hood upward was always the brighter
and more amiable boy of the two. But
there is an alternative worth considera-
ton, and that is the restoration of the
old Mussulman succession vested in the
elder branch of the family. This was
set aside in 1866 by Sultan Abdul Aziz,
who was bribed by Viceroy Ismail to
alter the succession to his direct line.
1t was then that he received from his
suzerain the l:igh-sounding Persian
title of khedive. BY this arbitrary act
Prince Hahn, the only surviving son
of Mehcmet Ali, was excluded from the
succession in favor of Ismail's son, Tew-
fix. Hahn. the most liberal and en-
lightened member of the family, is
now dead, but his children remain.
The eldest son, Prince Said, who has
received a careful European education.
would be persona grata to the Egyp-
tidH PCNpiCs OOIu Us l4C SIduuSOu VI
Mehemet Ali and as representing a re-
turn to the Koranic law of succession.
The present khedive is the seventh
ruler of Egypt in the line of Mehemet
Ali, and the second Abbas. The name
is sinister one in the Egyptian dy-
asty. The first Abbas. who succeeded
Ibrahim in 1s49. had brief reign, but
long enough to make his memory ex-
ecrated. Cowardly and cruel. addicted
to the most repugnant form of vice,
he was assassinated by his own crea-
lures in 1854 at Abbasiyeh, in the pal
ace whose gaunt remains still line the
road.
His name became by-word in Egypt.
and the members of the vice regal fam
lily have always discreetly consigned
him to oblivion as much as possible.
He did not reside at the Cairo citadel
like his predecessors. Mehemet Ali and
Ibrahim, but built himself n rambling
palace in the heart of the town, con-
spicuous feature of which is a lofty
tower, which he used for his hobby of
pigeon flying. Latterly he hid himself
in Abbasiyeh.-London Chronicle.

FAN PAINTING.
4 new Eaa raas win Ne psps,sr
with the Laases TAis
Winter.

A new kind Of fancy work is come
into fashion, and it is one that is not
likely to be very common. as IT requires
considerable talent. knowledge of
painting, and is. besides. very expensive
work. It is the painting OF fans. This
IS not exactly new, for fans have been
painted on parchment. paper, silk and
material for some time, but
It ID now the fashion to paint on vellum,
parchment or pigskin. Even better
than any of these is chicken skin. but
this is difficult to obtain as yet in this
country, and those fans that have been
finished have been painted on skins
that were bought abroad.
The fan should be of medium size,
not large, but yet larger than the en-
pire fan that has been fashionable for
so long. The fad is to use two or three
shades of one color-for instance, blue
CT brown-and the design can be a min
iature with scrollwork about it. some
odd design in arabesque or Grecian pat
tern, or the design on some old fan may
be copied. Museums are ransacked and
old books porcd over to find designs
that are popular to copy. Some women
who are ambitious and really have tall
ent for this sort of thing have copied
the Vatican pictures; others have con-
tented themselves with much simpler
things; and the trouble is with very
simple design that it leaves so much of
the skin uncovered, and this requires
most careful toning down in coloring-
a most difficult piece of work-and as
yet the fad is only in it's infancy, and
there are not many places where this
accomplishment is taught
After the fan is painted comes an
other difficulty; that's the mounting of
it properly. Antique shops furnish rare
specimens of carved ivory, tortoise shell!
and mother-of-pearl sticks, and, of
course. these add greatly to the beauty
of the work; but they will not always
fit the design. The most successful
workers buy their sticks first then have
the skin cut, or, at all events, marked
out into the proper size. and then pay
some attention to the pattern on the
stick in the design that is painted.
These fans make most charming we'd
ding or Christmas presents, but. it must
Re we'll understood, it takes some time
to finish satisfactorily, and are, us has
been said, expensive. They are not good
for hard wear, but deserve place in q
cabinet Or on table of fancy trifles.
Undoubtedly there will be a great num-
ber of these turned out when they are
better known, and when women take
lessons in painting. Every line of good
work will show to advantage, but, alas!
every incorrect line will also stand out
most conspicuously. Painting on vel
lum will certainly be one of the new
fashions before long, not only for such
work as has been described, but for
portfolios, book covers and the thou
sand and one trifles that go on the writ
ing, desk. Vellum takes colors most sat
isfactorily, and for anyone who is ar
tfstic enough to blend colors we'll this
work turns out so that it we'll repays
the trouble taken in doingit. Of course
slovcnly drawing and inharmonious COL
oring will give an amateurish effect
which will rob the work of grace.-Har-

friends, that he did the most profitable
days work of his life when he devoted
the 18th of July to my service"
From December, 1864, to November,
1865, General Franklin was president of
the board for retiring disabled officers
at Wilmington, Del. In March, 1865, he
was brevetted mai general of the
United States army and he resigned
his commission and retired to private
life in March, 1866. His military rec
ord was one which any officer would be
proud of, being without a blemish and
full of faithful service and bravery.
He selected this city as his future
home and was crosen vice-president
and general manager of the Colts Pa
tent Fire Arms Manufacturing compa-
ny, a position which he retained until
April, 1888. In 1886 he became presi-
dent of the board of visitors of the
United States military academy, and
he was selected president of the COM
mission for the erection of the new
state capitol in 1872. He was consult
ing engineer there from 1873 to 1877
and superintendent from 1877 to 1880.
He was a member Of the board of wa
ter commissioners from 1868 to 1878 and
was chairman of the committee of
judges and engineering and architec-
ture at the centennial exhibition.
General Franklin was one of the
presidential electors who nominated
Mr.. Tilden and from 1877 to 1879 he was
adjutant- general of this state. In
July, 1880, he was chosen president of
the board Of managers of the National
Home for Disabled Soldiers, a position
to which the greater part of his time
and attention are still devoted. In
June, 1888, he was appointed commits
sioner general at the international ex
position in Paris and the next year he
received the appointment and decora-
tion as a grand officer of the French
Legion of Honor, being the only Amer
lean citizen who holds this distinction.
General Franklin was for Several
terms commander Of the New York
commandery of the Legion Of Honor
and is still member. He is also a
member of the society Of the Cincin-
natl, Sons of the American Revolution,
the Army and Navy club and of Robert
0. Tyler post, G. A. r. In the business
world he is still active being director
at Colts armory and also in the Ma
tional Fire Insurance Co., the Con-
necticut Mutual and in the Panama
railroad company.
General Franklin married Miss An
ME L. Clark of Washington, p. c., July
Z, 1852, and lives in a pleasant home at
la Washington street. He has been a
member Of the Church of the Good
Shepherd ever since his coming to
Hartford and has several times filled
the position of senior warden and ves-
tryman.
Both in public and private life and
especially when his country called him,
General Franklin's career has been an
honorable and distinguished one and
his position in this community to-day
is well attested by the honors in public
events which he is frequently called
upon to share.-Hartford Post.

C. E. NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Detroit Raising a Guarantee Fund of
s25, 900 for 1899 Event.

Detroit Raising a Guarantee Fund of
s25 900 for 1899 Event
Detroit is putting forth strenuous eff
forts to raise $4,000 as guarantee
fund for the international Christian
Endeavor convention of 1899. The
trustees have already voted to go
there, contingent upon the fund being
either in hand or in sight, but the rails
ing of it Jagged until taken up a short
time since by one of the local papers
The appeal for the money is put upon
a purely commercial basis, namely,
that those visiting Christians are
bound to leave with butcher, baker and
candlestick-maker a good many dol
lars, to get which shop keepers and
others ought to be willing to invest
something.
The shop keepers of San Francisco
estimated last year that they got out
of the Endeavorers S1,5OO, 900, and this
in spite of the high railroad rates
many of the visitors had paid.
The convention at Detroit will be far
larger than either the San Francisco
or the Nashville one this year. The
guarantee fund is practically in sight.
