THE sULTAN's PALACE.
1t is Proof Against Assassins, Bombs
and Fires.

According to a writer in the Worlds
Work, the sultan's Yildiz palace at
Constantinople is a monument to fear.
It is assassin-proof. bomb-proof, earth
quake-proof. fre-proof. microbe-proof.
Architects and engineers are building
and rebuilding incessantly. Some new
secret retreat is always under way.
The entire domain is surrounded by
an immense wall thirty feet high, and
the choicest troops of the empire stand
guard around it. An inner wall,
twelve feet thick, with gates of iron,
incloses the private residence itself
The walls of the sultan's dwellings are
filled with armor plate. to resist pro
jcctiles. 1t is said that a mysterious
passage connects with ten secret bed
chambers. forming an intricate laby-
rinth. No one but his body attendant
knows where the sultan may sleep dur
ing any particular night. He has cleo
trio lights and telephones in his own
apartments. but forbids them in Con-
stantinople Telephones might prove
handy for conspirators and he be-
lieves that a dynamite cartridge could
be sent over a wire into the palace.
He fears electric explosions. so Con-
stantinople gets along with gas light.
He hates the word dynamo, because it
sounds like dynamite. Balloons are
tabooed lest one should pause over
him long enough to drop a chunk of
explosive.
AS to the real luxury of the Yildiz
that is a matter of course. The do
main is a small world in itself. Five
thousand people live within the outer
wall, not counting a small army of
workmen and the 1000 imperial
guardsmen. There are shops, factor
les, arsenals. stables, a library. mu
scum. picture gallery, theater and even
a menagerie. The monarch loves trees
but he keeps their branches well Topped
off, so that he can see to the farthest
corner of his grounds.-Chicago News.

AS result of a tangle in the steer
ing gear of his automobile. Arthur
f'asker of Philadelphia met with a pc
culiar accident. He started to take a
spin down to Baltimore recently, but
turned aside from the high road when
a few miles out from the city. He was
coursing at a speed of eleven miles
when suddenly. without apparent
cause, the machine spurted and veered
to one side. 1t was going at the rate
of seventy-five miles an hour when it
jumped fence and struck tree. For
tunately, instead of being an upright
tree, it was leaning, and instead of be-
ing crushed by the impact the ma
chine slid up the tree and lodged in
the branches, forty-five feet from the
ground. Mr.. Fasker was unhurt. He
climbed out of the seat and slid down
the tree and walked to farm house,
where he hired farmer 70 bring him

Emma Goldman Out.

Anarchy took its high priestess from
the prison to the heartnstone Tuesday
morning at Chicago. With smiles and
kind words for all Emma Goldman be-
came a free woman shortly after nine
O'Clock. Prosecutor John Owens said
there had been an agreement with the
attorneys for the defense that both
sides would abide in the Goldman case
by the decision in the cases of the
men who were released yesterday. He
therefore would state that he would
interpose no objection to her release.
Dismissed for want of prosecution,
said Justice Prindiville. Then the
woman with the stern blue eyes was
taken through the crowd, and few
moments later escorted to a cab, which
was driven to the home OF the lsaaks.

Youthful aspirants who plan to
make living by writing poetry ought
to note the fact that the livelihood of
the English poet. Austin Dobson. was
earned as principal of the fisheries and
harbor department OF the Board of
Trade. He has just resigned after
nearly half a century of service. A
few men only can earn fame as poets.
Fewer still are they who can trust to
the productions of their muse to pay

from his seat and stepped to the side

Gentlemen of TIE jury:-In this
case the defendant has acknowledged
his guilt. Such an acknowledgment

says that all the facts must be OBJ
served and reviewed by you. The law

testimony of the trial and giving 1t
thorough consideration
IF when all the circumstances Of
the case are considered by you there
still exists in your minds a reasonable
doubt that the defendant is guilty you
cannot find this man guilty. The peo-
ple have submitted evidence tending to
show that this defendant committed
this crime; they have given evidence
tending to show that there was design
and premeditation, and, if in accord
ance with that generalization and de-
sign these shots were fired, then the
defendant is guilty of the crime OF
murder in the first degree.

of facts in this case"

At 3:10 District Attorney Penney be-

well-modulated voice and every word
could be heard in any part of the
room.
He said in part:

the most awful tragedy that ever came
upon the world. We have shown you
how this defendant stood in the temple
of music that afternoon and shot down

you how he deliberated on and planned
this awful crime. We have shown you
cialistic meetings. at which were sown
in his heart the seeds of his terrible
act.
This is no time for oratorical dis
play. Counsel for the prisoner and

all sensationalism from this case. 1t

tended remarks. You understand the
responsibility resting upon you.

According to the Medical Record, a
gang of swindlers has been playing a
despicable trick on numerous pharma-
cists in Brooklyn. A man goes to a
drug store with a simple prescription,
has it made up, and takes the mix
ture away with him, In an hour or
two, or the following day, the pur-
chaser returns with the medicine
which he says he gave to his wife or
child, as the case may be. and that the
patient was nearly killed by poison
which was there through the blunder
of the compounder. He says his ply
sician has analyzed the mixture and
demonstrated the presence of poison,
and he allows the druggist to test it
then and there. The poison is, of
course. found, as the swindler has
added it himself, and he thereupon an
nounces his determination to sue the
druggist for damages to atone for the
results of his alleged blunder. If the
pharmacist becomes frightened at the
idea CT suit for damages, and thinks
1t may be possible that a mistake has
been made he may accept the sugges-
ton of the blackmailer to settle the
case out of court. The amount of set
tlement is said to vary from $50 to
5000.

did he ever say anything about his
motives in committing the murder?"
asked the district attorney.
Yes" was the reply. HE said that
he went to the exposition grounds for
the express purpose of numbering Pres
ident Mckinley. He knew he was aim
ing at President Mckinley when the
fatal shots were fired. Czolgosz said
tLat all kings, emperors and presidents

Superintendent Bull was cross-exam-
ined by Lawyer Titus and said the
defendant had on his person some
memoranda and S1.51 in money There
was also a piece of paper, orange-col-
ored with an address upon it, a mem

cation card from the Order of The

Prisoner Knows Chicago Anarchists.
Superintendent of Police Bull was
asked:
Were you present at headquarters
when the prisoner was brought there
on the night of the murder?"
Yes"
Were any threats made against
him
No"
"Tell us what Czolgosz said"
He said he knew President McKin-
ley. He knew that he was shooting
President Mckinley when he fired. The
reason he gave was that he believed
that he was doing his duty. He said
that on the day President Mckinley
spoke at the exposition grounds, the
day previous to the assassination, he
stood near the stand on the esplanade.
No favorable opportunity presented it
self
HE followed the president to Mag
ara Falls and back to Buffalo again.
He got in line while the reception was
in progress. and when he reached the
president fired the fatal shots. Czol-
gosz told me in detail the plans he
alone had worked out so that there
would be no slip in his arrangements.
l asked him why he killed the presl-
dent, and he replied that he did so be-
cause it was his duty"
Did he say he was an anarchist"
YES"
Did he say any more on the sub
ject?" asked the district attorney.
Yes. He said that he had made a
study of the beliefs of anarchists and
he was a firm believer in their prin-
ciples. The prisoner also stated that
he had received much information on
the subject in the city of Cleveland
He said that he knew a man in Chi
cago named Isaak. The Free Society
was the name of the organ mentioned
by the prisoner"
