Did Not Take His winnings.

Among the stories of Osman Pasha
which are now going the rounds Of the
European press is one which represents
the General as a benevolent gambler, says
the Philadelphia Press. While Osman was
one night making the rounds of the
Plevna fortifcations he happened upon
three members of guard off duty, who,
each possessing the then rare luxury of
a cigarette, had determined, with Eastern
logic, to play a game of cards for the lot.
But while the game was in progress a
Russian shell intruded. burst close by and
killed one of the players.
Now a custom of the Turkish army de-
crees that a deceased mans comrade who
is on sentry is entitled to a reversiou Of
the dead mans interest, even in a gam
be; so that Osman. who was unrecOg-
nizably mufied up, was al once invited to
take the slain soldiers hand and finish
the game. He accepted and won. Then
turning to the disconsolate players:

REUNION OF MHTHODISTs,

1t is likely that the dawn Of the new
century, now near at hand will witness
the reunion of the Methodist Church in
the United States, and the consolidation
of the two branches into one prodigeous
and powerful whole, having a membership
of upwards of 5000 COO souls.
Since the year 1874 the Methodist Episco-
pal Church. North, and the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. have maintained
separate organizations. The secession Of
the Southern Methodsts came about
through the political differences of the
sections. The breach was precipitate1
when Rev. James o. Andrews, one of the
Bishops of the church and a citizen of
Georgia, married lady owning slaves
and the General Conference, by way of
disapproval of the marriage of Bishop An
drews, suspended a preacher slave owner
of the name of Harding. Upon this action
being taken by the Conference, Bishop
Andrews and his followers withdrew from
the organization and formed the Southern
church, which has since continued
AS early as 1869 movement was begun
for the reunion of the two factions, and
similar movements have been started, only
to fail, from year to year up 10 the present.
At the forthcoming meetings of the Cen
raj Conferences of the Northern and
the Southern Methodists another effort for
rspprochemsnt will be made, and this
time, according to the best information, il
promises success. Leading ministers of
both factions are heartily in faver of re-
union. They recognize that the differences
which once divided them no longer ex St
Politically the country is reunited; has
been so for a number Of years. And If it
is now one in political matters. why
should it not be so in religious matters?
1t is rather an anomaly that the church,
which teaches universal fatherhood and
brotherly love and affection should remain
divided into two households for so many
years after the cause of disagreement has
ceased to exist, and so long after the lines
of political sectionalism have been wiped
out Recently many ministers of the
Methodist church, both in the North ANA
the South several of whom were soldiers
in the war between the sections, have been
interviewed on the subject of reunion,
and without exception they have pro
nounced in favor of il.

Preserving DiscipIine.

When Charles d. Folsom, the New
York lawyer left Phillips Exeter Acade-
my. New Hampshire. he had a distinct
feeling OF pride that he was graduated
from the same school that sent Daniel
Webster out to fight the battle OF life,
and because Webster's second step was
school-teaching, and because he needed
the money, he adopted this profession,
says tn Philade phi Post. From this time
on, TO use his own words, all likeness be-
tween his own and the great statesman's
career ended.
1t was in Sanbornton Square, New
Hampshire. There Were four giants of
boys in the school, all over IS years of
age. and Mr.. Folsom was only 49, But
he had the advantage of practical ply
steal training on his side. One day the
father of one of the giants, who had a
bad reputation as a local fighter, drove
up to the school house with an ak and
asked for the teacher He hammered on
the door for several minutes, and when
the teacher appeared he returnd to his
buggy Thexrate parent said:
Young man, did you lick one of my
boys yesterday"
Il did, SIR
''Well. if you do it again I'll fix you"
No you won't" was the answer; TN
whip your boys so long as they are under
my charge and disobey the rules"
We'll, we'll see." said the man. pre-
pairing to get out.
1t just then occurred to Mr. Folsom that
this was his time, and he lifted the bed
of the light buggy off the wheels and
tipped it over Into the ditch rolled the
man with the ak, while the teacher and
thirty-five school children looked on and
grinned. 1t was too much for the man,
and, adjusting the buggy Top, he rode
quietly away.

An excuse That FpiIed.

The making of an apology when one has
been in the wrong is not an agreeab Bile
thing, says the Louisville Times. A gen.
tleman was to make one to a woman
friend, ard in order to render the job as
light as possible she directed the very
very Irish servant as follows: Now if
any one comes, Kate, say 1 am not at
home, and then ask the name; if it is
Blank you must invite him in, for 1 am
expecting him, but if il is any one else
excuse me-"
That night the bell rang and the hostess
leaned over the baunster to hear the con-
fab. Il was not Mr.. Blank, for she rec
ognzed the voice.
"Is Miss B. in?" asked the caller.
Yes sorr; she's in said che Irish lady
And the gentleman started to take off his
hat. Excuse me, SORT" said the girl, but
are you Mr.. Blank, because if you are not
you must go away" He wasn't Mr.. Blank
and he went away in a gale, and the lady
has never been able to set matters
Straight since. AS for the Irish lady,
she has departed. She was too much of
a comedy of errors to have for keeps

TURKEY MUST PAY THE CLAIM.

]
The President has not yet decided to
send a warship to Turkey to collect the
claim of $4,000 which that country owes
American missionaries for buildings de-
stroyed during the Armenian riots in 1885,
| but he has made up his mind that the
| money must be paid. He will give the Sui
tan little while longer in which to set
tie the bill. He is very much opposed TO
| taking step that might bring about Sc
rious complications IN Europe. though just
now the impression prevails that there are
several European Powers that would like
to see something done to make the Sultan
understand that he must pay his financial
obligations. They have claims against
Turkey for which they have been able to
get nothing but promises.
Ali Ferrough Bey, the Turkish minister
to this country, pretends to be very indig-
nant because Mr.. Straus, our minister 10
Turkey, says that the Sultan promised to
pay the claim which the United States has
against Turkey. He insists that the Sui
tan could never have made such prom
Use. While he does not know anything
about the matter personally, he feels GER
tain, he says. that the Sultan did nothing
more than to promise TO have the claim in
vestigated
Mr.. Suaus, however, is not mistaken
about the matter Not only did the Sultan
promise him to pay the claim, but he also
made a similar promise 20 Mr. Strauss
predecessor. The claim originally was for
100000. but in order TO get prompt pay
ment it was reduced to $50, 900. at the earn
est solicitation of the Turkish officials
What the Sultan is afraid of is that if he
pays this claim which the United States
have against him he will have to pay
claims which number of European gov
ernments have against him.
The United States, however, have moth
ing to do with the Sultan's debts to other
governments. They know their claim is a
just one. The President will try breaking
off friendly relations with the Sultan If
that does not bring the money, harsher
measures will be adopted. 1t is the I'M
Outstanding that having undertaken to col
lect the claim the President will not cease
his efforts until he gets the money If
he cannot collect it in any other way, he
will do so at the mouth of the big guns
L
pay the claim when he becomes satisfied
that he must or have a little war on his
hands.
1t has not been so very long, only about
three years, since Austria adopted sum
mary measures for collecting claim The
claim was for an injury done to one of
her citizens by Turkish officials in Turkish
territory. The Sultan promised many
times to pay the money but delayed. At
last Austria notified him If the claim was
not settled by a certain day one of her
warshps would be utilized in collecting
it. Then the claim was paid. 1t may be
that the President will have to adopt
some such measure to collect the 50 900
claim of our missionaries But all other
means for getting the money will be tried
first.

ISOLATED COTTON MILLS

There is a widespread opinion in the
South that cotton mills do better in viii
lagos than in the cities. A very large
percentage of Southern mills is in V l.
lagos or small towns. As a rule they
have been and are profitable. But are
conditions going 40 continue to be such in
the South that isolated mills will be more
probable than those situated in cities
where there are other, as well as subsid-
larry industries?
Mr. Edward Atkinson, the well known
writer on economic subjects, in a letter
in which he warns the South not to go too
fast in building cotton mills, says:
1.-The single. isolated cotton factory of
less than so 900 spindcs with the requisite
number of looms, is at a disadvantage
anywhere, North or South, compared 10
the factories which are in close proXim-
Ivy. surrounding themselves with all the
subsidiary industries
1t is almost certain that labor con-
ditions will undergo a very great change
in the South within the next few years.
1t Will become more proficient. and at the
same time more eXacting as to wages and
hours of labor. These changes will be
felt by the isolated mill as well as by
the mills in the cities But 1t viii affect
the village mill a little more seriously,
in all probability, than the mills in the
cities, because, in the cities, where there
are other industries all the working men,
bers of a family will not be limited in
their efforts as breadwinners to the en-
ploymen< offered by a cotton mill Other
industries, that offer perhaps opportuni-
ties for earning better wages, viii assist
in keeping industrial workers contenied.
1t is a fact that the chief manufactur.
ing centers are the great cities. The small
factories particularly seem to thrive in
them. The inference from this is that
factory operatives find living in cities
about as cheap as it is in the villages.
Rents are dearer, of course, but opera
tives are willing 60 put up with meaner
accommodate tons for the sake of the adj
vantaees which the cities possess.
While it is true that the tendency at pres
ent in the South is to build factories in
the villages or small towns, especially
cotton factories. II is a question whether
this will continue to be the case very
much longer. IT, as Mr.. Atkinson says,
factories do better where there are many
located close together, ana there seems TO
be good reasons for his statement, II
will not be long before the cides viii
have preference.

TIE REpunLICAN PATTY SOUTH.

The Republican party, in the various
Southern states. is showing in a very con-
spicuous manner that it is unfit to have
control Of public affairs. 1t has been only
a few weeks since the leaders of that
party in this state were quarreling and
hghting among themselves. In our dis
patches on Thursday there was an ac-
count of a faction fight between the Re
publican leaders of Alabama in which one
man was shot. In our dispatches yester-
day there was an account of split in
the Republican party Of Tennessee. In
the latter state two tickets have been put
in the field and two sets of delegates
chosen to the Republican National Con-
Vention.
1t is probable that contesting delega-
uons Will appear al the NauonaI Conven-
ton from about oil Of the Southern states.
More of the time OF the convention prob
ably win be occupied with the quarrels OF
Southern Republicans than IN making the
