large part-perhaps one-half of it-which,
for motives of self-protection, he intrust-
ed to the Armenian banker | have named,
and directed him to take the bonds to
London and Paris and there deposit them
in such a manner that their ownership
could not be traced to Midad Pasha. 1t
is also believed to have been the lattft's
intention to withdraw a portion OF THIS
property from cOncealment as soon as he
felt safe in doing so.
But not long afterward Midad Pasha
was himself assassinated in the boldest
and most astounding manner. He was
attending a meeting of the Ministry,
when he was informed that a messenger
was awaiting him in the ante-room with
a confidential communication that must
be delivered Immediately and to himself
alone. Midad left his colleagues and en-
tered the ante-rOom, where an unknown
man Immediately plunged a dagger into
his heart. The palace guard, hearing his
death cry and the fall of his body, imme-
diately rushed to the room and shot the
assassin before he could escape. AL
though the police continued their inVestl-
cations for months, they We're never abe
to identify the assassin or associate any
one else with the crime, but the wi
ones believe he was a rufiian imported
from the mountains by the Armenian
tanker referred to, and was handsomely
paid to commit the deed.
On the evening of Midad's assassina-
ton the Armenian merchant went to
Midad'S palace and informed his widow
that there We're concealed in a certain
strong box certain papers that would
connect her husband with a conspiracy
against the Crown and would u~ndoubted-
ly cause the arrest and imprisonment of
the entire family and the confiscation of
the property if they We're discovered. The
frightened widow, already beside herself
with excitement because of the asSaSSl-
nation, begged him to search her hus-
bands papers and destroy all question
able or suspicious documents. He spent
the night at his work, and among the
papers burned that night are believed to
have been the evidence of Midad'S own
ership in the bonds that nave made tbs
Armenian the richest man in Turkey.-W

IN PROPER STYLE.

1.-THE happy couple left for the East last
night the society reporters wrote in
their account of a fashionable wedding
that ccurred in the East End Tuesday
night, but they didn't tell all of the story.
They left in a more startling manner
than any happy couple ever departed
from Pittsburg before. This is what
happened: One of the bosom friends of
the groom is a life insurance agent who
has office in the Times Building. He
called on Oscar A.. Tanner and informed
him tina his friend was to be married and
he wanted to give him a "send-oH' that
would be out of the rut. Tanner was once
the proprietor of a Wild West show, and
among the property of the show is an old
stage coach which was in use many years
between Helena and FIT. Benton, Mont.
1t was brought East by Tanner for show
purposes, and he still has it. The insur-
ance man wanted to hire the coach. and
to haul it he commissioned Tanner to
hire four of the ugliest mules in Pittsburg
no two of which to be alike. Tanner was
engaged to drive, and was told to wear
his wild West clothes Tanners part
of the contract was carried out TO the
letter, with this exception: He cOuldn [
get four mules that came up to the specl-
fication for uglineSs, so he hlred three
mules and a horse that was ugller IMAM
any of them. They We're hired from hill
ash haulers, and the harness that is used
on them every day was retained for the
occasion. The wedding went along
smoothly. There was a large ana 1ash-
ionable audience at the church and quite
a otable gathering at the reception held
at the home of the bride. 1t differed little
from other affairs of the sort until the
bride and groom put on their travelling
clothes and prepared to leave on thelf
wedding Journey. The carriages had been
ordered to take them to the East Llperty
Station. Just as they stepped out or the
door the old stage coach was driven up
with a flourish of trumpets, and the de-
parting ones were seized by consplrators
and hustled into the numbering old VENICE
, before they had time to realize what mao
happened. They were locked inside ana
kept prisoners. Tanner started his mules
and the conspirators on top of the coacn
burned red fire and blew tin horns as
they moved along the streets. They Wen
over a route that required 40 minutes &c
reach the railroad station. There was a
large amount of red fire reserved for the
end of the journey, and it was burned d.
the happy couple boarded the train

TURKEYS RICHEST MAN.

The richest man in Turkey is an Ar
menian. who is a naturallZed American
citizen and lived in this country for sew
eral wears. If the stories told in the
automatic circle of Con~Stantinople are
true. he came by his money IN a pecuIlaf
manner. 1t will be that the
Sultan AZiZ was aSSaSSinated in 1876. or
several wears prior to his death he accum-
ulated all the money and bonds he could
obtain, which he stored away in his pal
ace as a reserve fun in case OF war
with Russia, which had been impending
for some time. The amount of his ac-
cumulatiOnS has been v~ariouSly
from $40, 900. 900 to $40, 900, 900, and was I'M
doubtedly considerably in excess OF the
latter sum. Most of it was in English
French and German securities that drew
interest and We're easily conVertlple at
any bank in any city in Europe.
Although the assassination was a mVs-
terry, it Is believed to have been inspired
if it was not actually accomplished by
Midad Pasha, the Minister of
from avaricious motives. He alone was
aware of the magnitude of the Sultan S
hoard and the place of it's concealment
and after his sovereign's death by virtue
of his position, he took charge OF the
fund and pretended to deposit 1T in the
public treasury. Blu it is believed by
those most familiar with Turkish analrs
that he retained for his W benefit q

THE EDITORS TROUSERS.

Two ragged holes beam sadly out
Beneath the suburbs of his vest;
Like guardian angels of unrest,
They follow him fore'er about;
No picture can the people scan
With half the greedy, sad intent,
That on the dual holes are bent,
The trademarks of an honest man.
How came those hungry holelets there?
All, ask the hours of toll and pain,
The pencil, lamp, the woven
The creaky, rusty office chair!
Why, everything is new at first,
And made TO seem the It'd OF life,
But all must yield at last to strife,
And even pants at length Will burst.
And so, oh, honest holes, we meet
You with a proud and kindly grace.
Good welcome to the resting place,
Thrice welcome to the royal seat!
In all the turmoil, all the strife,
There are no teacher half so true,
To teach us what we learned from you
The stern realities of life.

supported by two extra heavy cables.
When a vessel is nearing a point of
