FlNiCKY TURKISH LADIES.
They Are Very Careful About What
They Take In Their Hands.

Our COnStantinOple correspondent
writes: 1t is not generally known that
there exists among Turkish ladies of
high class kind Of caste feeling SINH
lar to that prevailing among Hindoos.
1t takes the form of fear Of contami-
nation from the outer world and is only
observed, as far as I know, by those
who cannot afford to keep servants in
sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies
always wash their hands at tap from
which the water runs into a marble
they are just going to wash, but when
they have finished they let the water
run till somebody shuts it off, as to do
it themselves would make them IN
clean. They cannot open or shut door,
as the handle would be unclean, SO
slave is generally kept handy for the
purpose.
One of these fastidious ladies was
talking to a small niece the other day
who had just received a present of a
beautiful doll from Paris. The child
presently laid the doll on the lady's
lap, who was Mortified and ordered the
child to take it away. AS the little girl
would not move it and no servant was
near, and the lady would be defiled by
touching a doll that was brought from
abroad, the only thing she could think
of was to jump up and let the doll fall,
which broke to pieces. The same lady
will not open letter coming by post,
but servant opens it and holds it
near her for her to read. If her hand
kerchief falls to the ground, it is imme-
diately destroyed or given away, so
that she should not use it again. This
curious state of exclusiveness or fanati-
cism exists, 1 am told, in many Of the
large harems. Among men it is not
practiced.-London Telegraph.

VERY|MPORTANT STEP
Taken by the House OF Deputies
in the General Episcopal
Convention.
PROPOSES A VARIATION OF RITUAL
So That in Certain Cases Congrega-
tions Can Go Outside the
Prayer Book.

San Francisco, Oct. S-Yesterday
was a day of oratory in the house OF
deputies of the Episcopal general con-
vention. The debate, which began
last Saturday, on the proposed addi-
ton to Article X of the constitution
prescribing the form of worship, was
continued all day and finally resulted
in its adoption. AS adopted it reads
as follows: But provision may be
made by canon for temporary use Of
old forms and directories of worship
by congregations not in union with this
church who are willing to accept the
spiritual oversight of the bishop of the
diocese or missionary district" The
vote was as follows: Clerical-Ayes.
so; nays, IS; divided, Is. Lay-Ayes.
So; nays, IA; divided, 5.
Raised Quite Lively Debate.
The debate was very animated, and
until the result was made known it
was the prevailing opinion that the
vote would be much more evenly divid-
ed than it was. 1t was strongly urged
by the advocates of the proposed
change that its adoption would open
the way to great increase in the
membership of the church, while it's
opponents regarded it as too radical an
innovation.
DIR. Huntington's Final Plea.
Rev. DR.. Huntington, Of New York,
made the closing argument. He de-
clared it to be his purpose to bring III
u canon embodying all the provisions
of his original resolution. If the
amendment should be adopted such q
canon would be possible. The four
great questions, he said, which con-
front the American people are the sane
tity of the home, the publication of
the municipal life of our great cities,
the relation between capital and labor,
and, towering up over all the others
because entering into all others-was
the question whether we can thorough
IT. and uniformly consolidate all the
religious forces OF the republic. He
eloquently argued that the step which
is now proposed to be taken by the
Episcopal church would be in the di-
rectiOn Of such a conclusion.
Presiding Bishop Made Elective,
The house of bishops adopted the
amendment to Article I, Section 10, of
the constitution, already approved by
the deputies, which, in effect, makes
the presiding bishop of the church cleo
tive for term of three years by a ma,
jcrity of the bishops. 1t was voted, in
view Of the growing Importance of
missionary work in China, to divide
the district of Shanghai into two de-
partments, to be known as those OF
Shanghai and Hankow. The bishops
considered a number of reports anG
transacted much routine business.
Daughters of the King.
The Daughters of the King elected
council and decided to hold meet
ings triennially hereafter, preferably
in the convention city. The American
Sunday School Institute elected Bishop
Talbot, of Central Pennsylvania, pres
ident, and retained Rev. H. L. Duh
ring, of Philadelphia, as secretary,
treasurer. It's sessions were addressed
by several Sunday-schOol workers.

HELD FOR BIG SWINDLE
Frank Stafford, Wanted in New York, A
rested in Chicago


Chicago, Oct. S.-Frank Stafford,
alias Williams, wanted by the New
York police on the charge of forgery.
has been arrested here by Detectives
Hogan and thinner at 5000 Stewart
avenue. The arrest was made on a
telegram received by the local authori-
ties from New York, stating that STAFF
ford had left there for Chicago a week
ago.
According to the police Stafford is
member Of a gang of real estate
swindlers who have operated extern
s1vely in New York and vicinity. The
swindlers got out a map Of Staten ISL
end and blocked out into lots the entire
east front of the island. Bogus deeds
to the lots, it is said, were issued by
these men and many people were de-
frauded out of a large sum of money.
Stafford married a public school teach
er in New York a few years ago and
when she died a year ago she left her
property to him and her two brothers.
Stafford is accused of forging the
names of the two brothers to a deed
of the property. Detective P. f. Gar
gan Of New York has arrived in Chi

Chicago Times many years ago." said
one of the guests at a reunion dinner.
1--WE had a correspondent in an Illinois
town who simply would not schedule
his matter, but as he generally sent
good stuff we let him run on, slashing
his stuff to suit the exigencies of the
night. Besides, his stuff always sug
gested good headlines, and that was
one Of StOrey's hobbies.
"On one occasion the correspondent
sent up about TOO words which went
into 100, with nothing over. On the 100
words | constructed q headline which
was right up to the mark. The next
day l was instructed to tell the man
who made out the checks for the cOun-
try correspondents to knock So off the

"When he received his check, he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
kick about the deduction, but in this
particular instance he did because the
fool headline over the item made by a
fool telegraph editor had Infatuated the
man whose name was mentioned in the
dispatch and brought on a fight be-
tween him and the correspondent, the
result of which was that the CORE
spondent was fined SIS in the police
court.

PITH OF THE CONTROVERSY
Between Schley and Hodgson-Vitness
Examined by Rayner.

ny hayHeFs
The nub of the correspondence with
SchIey is about this: Schley wanted
Hodgson to deny this grotesque lie"
meaning the story that he (Schley) said
Damn the Texas" HOdgsOn thought
the @"grotesque lie" was the newspa-
carrying on a controversy with his
commanding officer in the midst of a
battle. This last he denied, but he
stuck to the statement that Schley
wanted denied.
Rayner began his crOSs-eXaminatiOn
by asking Hodgson whether the Mar
blehead had hailed the Brooklyn when
the two vessels passed each other as
the Brooklyn was on her way to Glen
fuegOs. The witness replied in the
negative. Commander Hodgson said
he had seen the lights on the shore at
Cienfuegos which were afterward de-
termined to be signals, but supposed
they were signals between different
branches of the Spanish forces ON
shore.
Referring to the distance away from
the enemy that the Brooklyn made
while executing her loop the witness
said it was about 600 yards; not 1000
as others had said; and the loop was
made in the quickest way, the vessel
firing all the time from her batteries
as they came into range During the
chase after the dOns Hodgson at one
time remarked to Captain Cook that
it seemed rather lonely for us out
there. He asked why? | said that
we were all alone with the three Span
ish vessels, and it seemed that it de-
pended upon us to knock them out"
1t turned out, however, that the
Brooklyn wasn't so lonesome as she
seemed. The smoke was thick all
around, and it is a naval axiom that a
ship only hears it's own guns. Hodg-
son proceeded: "He stepped out of
the coming tower and exclaimed to
me: What's that off our starboard
quarter? 1 looked in that direction
and saw the heavy bow of a ship. and
said: That must be the Massachu-
setts' He said: No; it could not be
the Massachusetts; she has gone to
Guantanamo [ said: 1T must be the
Oregon and he remarked: God bless
the Oregon I said: Well, am very
glad to see her. The Oregon was at
that time about, l should say, 400 or
500 yards off our StarbOard quarter, at
full speed"
In short, the witness said the Brook
Ign got into action as quick as she
could, and then did the best she could
in the fighting.
