Sultan of Turkey is a Most
Gracious Host.
Italian King Wedding Out His In
vitation List.
The Death of King Francis and His
Tragic Life History.

Whatever else may be said about
the Sultan of Turkey, it cannot be
denied that he is the most charming
of hosts and the most hospitable of
men. Thus it is impossible that the
Kaiser should be otherwise than
touched at the manner in which his
third and sailor son, Prince Adalbert,
mas been entertained during his recent
stay at Constantinople. There was no
attention and kindness which Abdul
Hanid did not shower upon the young
prince, even to the extent of sending
on board the Charlotte each day 4
sealed tank of the remarkably pure
drinking water which is reserved foI
the Sultan's own table. The padishat
treated the young prince in the most
patcrnal fashion, and after all the fare
wells had been made, and the Charlotte
was raising her anchors, sent his
chamberlain, Galib Bey, on board in {
steam pinnace with beautiful piano
IF the finest make, having heard thai
The prince was fond of music, and tina
the piano on board was rather thu
worse for wear.
The only thing which the Sultan
seems to have found difficult to under
stand was that the prince occupied al
altogether subaltern position on boar
the school ship, namely, that OF a nava
cadet, and that he had to do duty il
the same way as his messmates, in
stead of being in command of the YES
sci.
The prince seems to have created
most favorable impression, not onl
on the Sultan, but on all the member
of the ottoman court, by his repose o
manner and perfect self-possession
mingled with a certain mOdesty whic
is particularly winning. The Turks o
high rank are all exceedingly quiet an
administrative in their manners, an
the fact that the prince should hay
impressed even them by his repose an
by his sobriety of gesture-so differen
from his father--is worthy of specia
attention.
! may add that it is not only roya
and imperial visitors who are thu
treated by the Sultan. Few foreigner
are presented to him without receivin
some token of good will in the shape q
decorations, either for themselves O
for the women of their family, cost
presents and invitations to entertain
ments. the Sultan when taking leave O
his visitors expressing the hope tina
they have enjoyed their stay in hi
dominion, and that the sublime port
will from thenceforth be able to coun
on possessing an additional goo
friend in America or in Wester
Europe, as the case may be.

King Francis must have left very
large fortune, indeed, as, terrified by
the eXtrava Sance of his wife, he never
spent more than n quarter of his in
come, and it is probable that he will
be found to have left it to his grand
son, the young King, to whom he was
devotedly attached and who from his
earliest childhood had been particular
ly fond of his grandfather. Indeed
the one extravaganza of the old man
was the magnificent toys which he was
forever buying for his grandson.
The late King, l may add, was most
unfortunate in his brothers and sisters
One of his brothers was killed in q
duel, two of his sisters eloped with men
of non-royal rank who subsequently
became their husbands, a third sister
was the heroine of no end of unsavory
scandals in Bavaria. and fourth sis
ter, who died the other day, was all her
life long known as an imbecile OF

King Francis enjoyed the distinction
of being the most diminutive of adult
European royalties. He was consider
ably smaller, indeed, than the present
King of Italy, his height having been
about four feet nine, and he was pos
sessed of all the attributes of dwarf,
including Il voice of extraordinary
squeakiness. In fact, it was necessary
to see him in order to appreciate the
full force of Queen Isabella's remark
when she declared, half laughing, half
plaintively, they promised to marry
me to man, and they gave me an in
FAINT
She did not marry him of her own free
will, as she was engaged to his brother,
the Duke of Seville, a very handsome
man. This match was broken off by
her mother, the infamous old Queen
Christina, at the desire of King Louis
Philippe of France, who was anxious
that Isabella should marry his son, the
Duke of Montpensier, also very hand
some man. This latter union was OPP
posed by Great Britain and by the
other continental powers of the Old
World. who insisted that the presence
VI vi the liIOIle Vi
Spain in the position of king consort
would disturb the political balance of
Europe. In fact, Louis Philippe was
given to understand that England and
other governments were ready to go
to war about the matter.
Resolved to have his way, King Louis
Philippe resorted to an intrigue, which
| is among the most disgraceful of the
| nineteenth century. He forced young
Queen Isabella, through her mother,
who was subservient to his schemes. to
contract an altogether loveless match
with the Infant Francis of Spain. Duke

married Isabella's younger sister on
the same day to the Duke of Montpen-
sier. AS declared at the time in official
dispatches from the foreign ENJOYS at
Madrid to their respective govern
ments, and since published, the match
between Isabella and Don Francis was
arranged in the expectation that it
would remain without issue, and that
in consequence thereof the Duke and
Duchess of Montpensier would succeed
to the Crown, and King Philippe's aim
thus attained and his son established
on the Spanish throne
The trickery of which King I,o,is
Philippe rendered himself guilty excit-
ed the utmost Indignation, and one of
the most bitter and caustic comments
on the matter is to be found in a pub
hshed letter written by Queen Victoria
to the late Queen of the Belgians, who
was daughter of the French King.
and who had endeavored in vain to
offer excuses for her fathers action.
Louis Philippe's expectations were,
however. disappointed, for Queen lisa
Della gave birth to no less than twelve
children. three of whom survive. and
consequently the Duke and Duchess of

throne. Frustrated in their hopes.

Like King Edward, King Victor En-
manuel is engaged i'll a very radical
wedding out Of the invitation list Of his
court, and is adopting a policy of eX
clusiveness which cannot but be COM
mcnded. Whereas in the days of King
Humbert almost anybody could secure
an invitation to court balls. especially
ii a foreigner, and the guests as gen.
cral rule numbered three or four
thousand, King Victor Emmanuel has
minated that he will admit no for
eigner to his court who has not been
duly vouched for and officially pre-
scented by the envoy or ambassadress
of his or her country. Moreover the
various embassies and legations have
been notified that only very restricted
number of requests for invitations of
state balls-not more than half dozen
at most-can be considered from each
mission.
OF course, this is creating many
neartaches in the large foreign colony
at Rome. But seine reform of this
kind was necessary, as it cannot be
denied that far too many foreign Ia
dies of doubtful reputation and ques-
tionable social status managed to pro-
cure presentation at court and in
vitations to state balls during King
Humbert's reign, often without being
vouched for or even recognized by
their embassies, and would then, on the
strength Of having figured at The court
of Rome, demand to be presented at
other European courts. King Victor
Emmanuel realized that the prestige of
the Italian court suffered severely
thereby, that many of the great
patrician ladies of Rome have held
aloof on account of their reluctance to
rub elbows with the questionable
characters. male and female whom
they were called upon to meet at the
: Quirinal entertainments, and that it
was known abroad that pretty well
I anybody who wanted could get an in
vitation to the court of the Quirinal.
Y There win be several state balls given
I at the Quirinal this winter by the King
; and Queen, whose mourning is now at
/ an end. and the King has issued Or
4 ders that the number of guests in each
\ instance is not to exceed 500.

the duke was largely responsible for
the overthrow of his sister-in-law, his
ex-fiancee, and his benefactors in 1868.
In fact, so abominable was his attitude
toward her that it excited resentment
even among her foes, and when candi-
dates were sought for the throne of
Spain, and he put forward his preten-
sions. no one could be found willing to
indorse them.
I.oudest in his denunciations of the
dukes conduct was that other ex-
fiance of Queen ISABELLA, the Duke of
Saville, brother of King Francis, who
has lust died. \ duel ensued, and it
was attended by fatal results, the Duke
of Montpensier. that is to say the
brother of Queen Isabella's sister, KILL
ing the brother of her husband under
circumstances of the most cold-Dlood-
ed brutality.

of many things while his wife was sun

Wilson, though its statistics sustain Mr..
Day. 1t says:
The statistics of football accidents for
1902 bear out this theory of the immun-
ity of the seasoned player. The heavy
college men have had their share OF
broken bones, from which recovery is
usually rapid; but the dozen dead have
included no member Of famous eleven.
| They were either school boys or members
Of small and unframed local athletic
teams. One boy whose death was due
to football was only six years old.
The list of accidents is indeed long,
but the game is now almot universal In
schools as well as colleges. The number
playing it is probably five times as great
as it was five years ago, so That the
accident list may reasonably lengthen
without proving that the sport is, as
Chancellor Day of Syracuse phrased it,
on a level with prize-fghting'.

Is FOOTBALL LIKE PRIZE FIGHT
ING?

| Chancellor James r. Day and President
/ Woodrow Wilson, as already noted III
these columns, are engaged in a joint
debate over the question as to whether
football is dangerous and brutal. Mr.
Day was accused of saying that it Is as
brutal as prize fighting Upon that sup
position President Wilson tackled and
thought to reach goal" by his heavy
weight rebuke. But Mr.. Day breaks
through the lines and declares that ne
cid not make, the punt" Wilson thinks
he made, saying:
'sMy remark was that l did not Won
der that some people classified it with
prize fighting, for in some of its features
it is fast approaching the brutality OF
prize fighting in its mass plays
president Wilson seems to think the
danger Of injury is confined to unframed
PLAYERS He says that there has been
no serious injury in well-trained, sea-
soned games. That is not TIE report
that came from the Princetoa Columbia
game. They are fairly well trained
teams 1t has not been true of SYRIA
cuse and score of other exceptionally
well-trained and seasoned teams. AT
every game men are being laid out re-
peatedly Spectators see three or four
men lying on the ground, one man run
ming this way for pail of water,
another chatting mans arms. others
rubbing bruised muscles, and still others
pumping air into the lungs of an uncoG-
scious player.
president Wilson says: The students
always have a doctor present. Is there
ony other college game where it is ne
cessity 10 have a doctor present? Ten
men have boen killed this year, not

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
The Harbinger.

The HarDinger.
Superintendent Clements, in an address
recently delivered before the school SUI
perintendents, adopted the policy of this
paper, in declaring for compulsory edu-
cation as tho only means by which the
children can be made to attend the pub
lie schools as they should He states
that 1.-THE children of rural communities
attend their schools more punctually than
do the children of the city schools and
'that the great influx of farmers to the
cities is not for the purpose of giving
their children better school facilities, but
they move to town to put their children
in the factories and hosiery mills, and
his speech was applaudcd to the echo.
1t is the exception, and not tho rule, when
people from the country move to the
cities to educate their children The
formers cry is
'What's the use to work so hard,
When I've got children in the factory
yard?''
