Abdul Hamid. sultan of Turkey, filed
with a dread of death by poison and
seeing in every person around him a
probable assassin, has perpetrated the
most atrocious crimes to rid himself OF
fancied enemies. Even his own chill
dren do not escape the consequences OF
his mania. CHASTITY tales Of his cruel
ties have recently leaked out through
the indiscreton of exiled Turkish dip
lomats.
Sometimes at table terror seizes the
sultan that the food and water have
been poisoned. Jumping from his di-
van, he will seize all the water carafes
and dash them to pieces on the marble
floor Calling for an empty one, he will
go cautiously to the fountain In the
court of his palace and, after allowing
the water to run for an interminable
time, finally wash the carafe, fill it and
resume his place at the table.

THE CORLEY HOME.
A Residence Being Built for the
Daughters of a Former
Dawson Pastor.

From the Cuthbert Leader1
Work on the home for the daughters
of the late Rev. J. Fl. Corley has begun
in Fort Gaines. Several days ago a
building lot in desirable locality of
Fort Gaines was purchased of Col. G.
V. Morris, and last week DR.. j. W.
Stanford let to Mr.. +. A. Jackson of
this city the contract for erecting up
on it neat four-room residence. The
work is to be completed by the first Of
March. When this property will be
no longer needed as a home by the
daughters of Rev. j. HI. Corley the IT,
ties to it will revert to Mercer Univer-
sity.
Some months ago, after the death Of
that venerable and well-beloved Bap-
fist minister, Rev. j. Fl. Corley, DIR. j.
w. Stanford of this city conceived the
plan of building something in memory
of the dead preacher. Believing that
a home for his two daughters would be
more appropriate 9tluH a. mas DAO LhOAu
ment Or Stanford took upon himself
the task OF securing the money for this
purpose. He worked earnestly to this
end, and received liberal contribu tons
both from the members of Bethel AS
ISOLATION and Friendship Association.
Although sufficient money TO build tn ;
house contracted for is not in hand
Or. Stanford assumes the responsible
ity for the whole sum, believing that
all of the subscriptions will be paid.
Besides being a comfort TO the
daughters of Rev. J. H. COrley, this
home will remain as a monument to
his memory and a memento to the zeal
of DR.. J. w. Stanford, of this city,
who spent no little time and trouble,
without recompense, to'accomplish It's

CLOSE FIGURING.
How "a Woman Upheld Her Reputa-
ton For Economy.

ton For ECONOMY
She was the wife of an official Of a
st. Paul street corporation. Her one
pet hobby was economy. Though her
husband made an excellent salary, she
was rigid in her rules pertaining to the
buying of the necessaries for the
household. She would haunt bargain
counters and market stalls for hours in
order to get the benefit Of reduction
of few cents on the article desired.
The corporation official. with much
laughter, used to tease his better half
about what he called her "stinginess."
So one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule,
she resolved to take him to market
with her and demonstrate beyond a
doubt that she was a most economical
buyer. He consented, STIMULATING that
he was not to be asked to carry the
basket.
Arriving at the market, she made
several purchases, and then at one
stall inquired the price of eggs.

ways receiving the same answer until
near the upper end of the market.
Here she found a dealer who offered
to sell her eggs in any quantity for 10
cents. To her husband she said joy
ously:
There, | told you so. Why, those
others were robbers"
Turning to the salesman, she ordered
half a dozen eggs, grayely handed him
the s cents asked in payment and
went home, prattling away about the
worth of economy in marketing and
the alleged willingness of dealers to
gouge the unsuspecting customer
And to this day she does not know
that her husband and his friends
laughed over it at the club.-Baltimore
