this is a fact that is not generally
known outside of Turkey. The harem
is State privilege, like the Lord
Mayors show in London. 1t is frowned
upon everywhere by the best Turkish
society. What is perhaps still more
curious and not a whit less true is
that polygamy in Turkey is being
killed SLOWLY but surely by the infiu-
ence of woman herself. This is the
testimony of the very best writers on
that country. The only question thar
remains to be answered is, Will not d.

San jose Herald: A scheme for me-
diation and arbitration has been pre-
sented to the Arbitration Committee
of the Peace Congress. 1t goes consid-
erably into detail, but it's chief new
points seem to be that the signatory
Powers, save in exceptional cases, will
try mediation before proceeding to hos
tilities and that without such initia-
tive an outside Power may offer its
mediation, even during actual hostiH-
ties. The plan involves decided pro-
gress toward the peaceful settlement
of international disputes True, there
is nothing to compel two Powers who
ask the mediation of a third to accept
the decision, but the agreement to at
tempt such a solution is a practical

In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania,

declares, is now democratic.
On the Kentucky election he says;
1.-THE result in Kentucky does not givo
any encouragement to the republicans.
The latest returns show that tho con-
test between Mr.. Gocbel and Mr.. Tay-

the election of Goebel and the entire

that Rolond b. Molineux sent poison
through the mails to kill and which did
kill Mrs. Katherine j. Adams; second,
that MoieuX did send through the

ing some unknown person; third, that
