ADMIRAL scHLEY's ODD HABIT.
Sits Constantly Pulling at the End of
His Mustache.
(Chicago CnronicIe)

Admiral Schley has a habit of pulling
nervously at the ends of his mus

time. While witnesses are teStifying

admiral sits back in his chair with
his fingers entWined in the end Of his
mustache working at a rate shat ar

ner otherwise self-satisfied and self
possessed, but he does not seem to
be able to restrain his fingers
The only time the admiral was pho
tOgraphed during the war with Spain
was on the occasion when the Brooklyn
was about to uuloose her S-inch guns
after the escape of the Colon. The ad-
miral was standing on the flying
bridge, leaning with apparent noncha-
lance against the coming tower The
fingers of his right hand were, as the
spectators at the court of inquiry have
been accustomed to seeing them for ten
days, entwined in the ends of his mus
tache.
The admiral has practiced the habit
during all his life. He pulls his mus
tache when in repose the same as
when he ought to be excited The ad-
miraPs conduct throughout the present
inquiry has been almost ideal He has
betrayed neither excitement nor ner-
vCUsness. and while he has followed
various witnesses who have been called
to testify against him with the closest

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY.
Georges Dorys Tells of the Inner Life
of the Sick Man.
New York Herald.

New York Herald)
Last week some reference was made
to a book on "The Private Life of the
Sultan of Turkey" by George Dorys-
said to be the assumed name of a
young Greek whose father, Prince Of
SamOs, has been governor of Crete, and
likewise one of Abdul Hands minis
ters. DOrys, it was explained, claims
to have been brought up in the Yildiz
palace. and to have studied the sultan
from life. 1t was added that Turk
ish court mas condemned the author
luckily for himself not now within it's
jurisdiction-to decapitation for his
temelity.
Advance sheets of the book are now
before me. The American translator
is Bir. Arthur Hornblow. and the pub
fishers are Messrs. D. Appleton & Co.
Mr. DOrys does, indeed, use only his
darkest pigments in painting the por-
trait Of the sultan. He shows him in
the gilded fortress Of the Yildiz palace,
living in constant fear of poison, so
that cats and dogs, and even the mem
bers Of his staff, must taste his food
before he himself will touch it.
He describes him as having a horror
Of darkness and keeping Yildiz park
lighted all night in consequence. terri
fed by the stiffness of the night. and
ordering armed guards to tramp
ceaselessly up and down outside his
bedroom window; in constant appre-
hensiOn of attack, and ever ready to
draw one of the three revolvers with
which he is always armed on the most
inoffensive persons; loving cheap lit
erature, and gloating over stories Of
blood and violence; suspecting all
around him, and exiting and putting to
death every one against whom he has
a real or imaginary grievance.
The chapter on the imperial harem
has some anecdotal interest and lends
itself readily to abridguent and quota
ton.
The Yildiz harem is the entire uni
verse of 300 of the most precious spec
linen of Oriental beauty. They have

knowing nothing of the world outside
their prison.
According TO the religious law, no
Mussulman may marry more than four
legitimate wives. In addition to these
four wives he may have as many slaves
as his means permit-slaves who share
his couch and whose children are as
lcStllildle as LnOSe OF Lne wives Inc
law is the same for the Calipha as for
the most humble of his subjects. A
very ancient custom prescribes that
the sultan never marries a girl of
good family. but selects his four wives
only among his slaves.

JOE QUAIL THE AUTHOR.
An Old Montana Man Writes of Cow
boy Life.
DIT,

y
The following amusing character
sketch of Joseph Quail, who was some
years ago connected with the Miner
staff in Butte and who is now New
York correspondent of this paper, ap-
pears in a recent issue of the New
York Observation-Disclosures
Joe Quail has written a book.
Perhaps you do not know the author,
but newspaper men from New York
to San Francisco, and particularly in
Butte, Mont, know him well. Quail
stands six feet in his stockings, and
his genial manners and pleasant face
make him welcome everywhere.
His book is called 'BrOckmans Ma
verick' is the condensed experience of
many years spent in the west, and re-
fleets the camp stories of the military
posts. 1t is written in terse style, with
life in every chapter.
Woven into the rough action of ranch
life is a love story full of pathos, but
never dull, replete with human nature
where the incidents come fresh from
hearts unveneered by the customs of
social life in the east. The story has
{ true western flavor and could be
written only by one who had lived the
life. Joseph Quail has chosen to write
of scenes with which he is familiar and
has made his work extremely inter
esting.
1T will be particularly entertaining
to his friends, who know of his many
trips to the west. Whenever Quail got
$500 ahead in New York he was sure to
make a trip west to try his luck in
the mines, and he invariably returned
in a year or so--broke. Every news
paper Office in New York was open to
him. and he has held some of the best
positions on the World, Journal and
Press, sometimes city editor, and at
other times night editor. In a year or
two he would be off again to Montana
or California. having saved a thousand
or two, and would live with ranchmen
and miners, who supplied the material
for his present book
Now he is an author and publisher
and his success viii probably put an
end to his western trips, unless he goes
there for inspiration for future books 3"
