TURKISH woMEN's PAsTIMEs.
Picturesque Scenes on the Sweet
Waters of Europe and Asia.

The summer season having now begun,
Turkish ladies are beginning to look for
ward to one of their few pleasures. In
comparison with their European sisters
Turkish ladies have very poor time; in
fact, they practically have no amusements
at all. In the summer. however, they
manage to get considerable pleasure by
going to the Sweet Waters of Europe and
Asia on Fridays and Sundays.
All through the fine weather these two
rivers are crowded with hundreds of boats
and caiques of all descriptions, full of
Turkish women, who are rowed up and
down. Unfortunately the graceful caique
is dying out and being replaced by the
more useful boat. A caique has many
disadvantages, the chief of which is that
it requires a special boatman to row it.
and he will never do any other work. AS
most Turkish households are becoming
poorer. ard therefore more economical.
they abandon caiques and keep boats.
which are rowed by man. who Will do
gardening or any other odd job.
Nevertheless, enough caiques remain to
make the scene very picturesque one.
Every now and then one VIII hash past
rowed by one. two or three men in brill
liant white costumes, telived by ZouaVe
jackets. embroidered IN gold and silver,
on a groundwork of silk or satin: In
lessly attired in Turkish dress with
very thin yashmak. Their outer dress does
not allow of much variety except in
color, so they are forced to put all their
inventive genius into their parasols. and
the collection of parasols is the most
varied and brilliant to be seen anywhere.
No Turkish woman will be without one,
which she always keeps even after sun
set.
The best caiques have over the long
after-deck a carpet or piece OF emDrol-
dery which trails in the water ON both
sides. This is seldom seen now; in tact,
there are only two regularly attending
Sweet Waters which keep up this GUS
tom One belongs to a Turkish LADY whose
boatmens uniforms are blue ana SILVER,
and the embroidery matches tnem; the
other is the KhediYe's mother, whose col
ors are gold and crimson. and the en-
broidery consists of a pattern made up OF
crowns and fishes.
OF course there are hundreds OF boats
full of men, and many tiirtations are car
ried on throughout the summer. Inc
fiirtations carried Oh are very mlld, ana
consist chiefly in the lady hIting her
veil and showing her face for moment
Now and then few words are exchanged
but that is dangerous. and can only be
done when the boatmen are all IN the

BY authority of the reorganization act

and Assistant Superintendent of the
Police Department
Captain Austin figured quite promi-
nently in the incidents connected with
the assassination of President James
a. Garfield and was in command of the
police detail that preserved order at the
City Hall during the trial of Guiteau.
He was at Police Headquarters when
word reached there that Garfield was
shot, and a few moments later reached
the Pennsylvania depot, where every
thing was confusion. He helped Po-
Nceman Kearney, who had made the ar

carriage and hurrying him to the Jail,

of the mob which had gathered to

Jones attempted to shoot Guiteau, and

Another famous case which added to
Captain Austins reputation was that

and he being the oldest member of the
company was voted to the chair where
he had the duty assigned to him of carv-
ing a leg of Welsh mutton. He then
found that gcolOgists had a prOdigious
capacity for food, and an incredibly short
time had passed when he found nothing
before him but a bare bone. AIurchisOn,
too, looked on that slim, youthful figure
as hardly the style of man for n surveyor.
Needless to say that he proved himself
equal to all the climbing. What Il loss

cables to the Journal and Advertiser

~ dispersed and Miss Stone is quietly Sc
questered In some mountain village, of

partly in fear, would scorn to tell the au-
thorities. Modern brigands are sorry suc-
cesses. They are chivalrous cutthroats
who believe that If they touched damsel
they would die in Turkish prison. A

pant. though expressive saying: The kid
mapping of another American woman would
bankrupt the Ottoman empire.'''
