A strong Sultan could still place in the
field an army OF 600, 600 of the bravest
soldiers in the world, defend his coasts
and ports with torpedo boats, and even in
defeat ilflict terrible blows upon his con-
queror. 1t is true that the advent of
strong Sultan is most improbable, the
race of Othman appearing at last to be
worn out; but Sultan as weak as a
Merovingan is quite probable and
strong mayor OF the palace or grand
cause replaceable.

tion to the winds, summoned every Os-
manli to his standard, stopped all pay
ments except for munitions of war and

for three years any single European Pow

NEW YEARS EVE AT SEA.
Lively Times for a Party on Board n
Jamaica Steamer.

While there was much pleasure on
shore New Years Eve. 1t is questionable
if any party enjoyed itself more than that
told about by Mrs. Bjonness, wife of Cap
tain Bjonness, of the Di Giorgio steamer
Georg Dumois. and Mrs. Petersen, wife
of the steward of the same ship, while
on the passage from JGmaica, which ended
here yesterday. Mrs. Stewart and Miss
Stewart, of New York, were passengers,
and to see the old year out and the new
year take the vacated throne all the Off
GERS who could be spared from duty were
asked to Join in a lunch served IN the
cabin.
When all were around the festal board
and aqua-vitae had been taken as an
appetizer the Dumois ran into long swell
lent as in gale. But the party, intent
on celebrating, stuck to their seats. First
coffee rolled out of cups into the laps of
the ladies, then piece of cake struck
the gentlemen about the face and, re-
bounding came back to near from where
ii started. Then all had to hold fast to
their places at the table ana also to what
they were going TO eat.
After struggle until midnight with
the delicacies on the table the ships bell
rang out eight bells and, standing with
glass of wine in the one hand and the
other hand grasping tightly some station
ary object. all drank the success of the
new year.-Baltimore Sun.

BERLIN'S NEW MUSEUM.
Splendid Collection of Ancient Art
Opened to the Public.

The opening of the new Pergamum Mu-

ordinary interest to all students of an
cient art The building itself is of a
severe simplicity. both style and struc-
tUre having been strictly subordinated to
the purpose il Is intended 10 serye-as a
shrine in which the various art treasurers
brought by the Prussian Government
from the site OF the ancient Pergamum
may be seen to the best possible ad-
vantage.
The great altar. built by Eumenes II

Zeus and Athene. is the chief feature Of
the collection, and :he greatest care
has been taken TO enable it in its new
resting place TO produce as nearly as
possible the same impression as it pro-
duced originally under the open sky. The
altar consists OF vast sub-structure

feet. a few steps lead the visitor from
the vestibule into the central hall, where
he finds himself directly facing the west
side of the altar. -
From this side q great. flight Of steps,

was about fifteen feet above the ground.
Immediately facing the stairs was the
entrance to a hall of graceful Ionic col
umns open on the outer side, which
crowned the whole surface of the plat
form. Behind the columns, on the inside,
was a wall completely shutting in the
platform On three sides. On the inner
side OF this wall, facing the actual altar

CURIOUS MARITAL MIx-UP.
Chicago Lawyers SurreptitiOus
Visits TO His Real Wife.

Imprisoned in his own house by the
wife OF his second choosing while he still
had a wife living. Charles +. Remick once
a wealthy Chicago attorney, according to
Arthur Humphrey, attorney for Mrs.
Charlotte Remick, would steal from his
hiding place in his stocking feet and walk
miles in the snow to call upon his real
wife, for whom he had the tenderest
affection.
Charles F. Remick was at one time
prominent attorney il Chicago, and after
the death of his first wife became enam-
ored of a sewing girl, a young woman
working for her living, but still married
to man named Getchel. 1t is said that
Remick learned TO love this woman and
induced her to obtain a divorce from an
alleged faithless spouse and marry him.
Because Remick had large estate COM
ing to him from his TelsCyeg who were
Puritans, he did not want the knowledge
Oh his marriage to this sewing girl, so
soon after the death of his first wife, to
become known TO his people. According
ly, he suggested 20 her that they become
married by contract Che being a lawyer
and versed in such matters), but she OBJ
jeoted to that mcthcd, and he accordingly
suggested that she consult some attorney
about the legality of his proposition. She
did this, il is said, and became fully sat
isfied, and TO save a fortune for her hus-
band consented 10 his plan.
They lived together for many years,
during which time she bore him eleven
children. but young woman came to
live in the family as domestic, and Rem
ick. who was over sixty years old, be-
came enamored of her. He confessed to
his wife his affection for the new at
traction, and induced her TO enter into
an alleged annulment of her marriage
contract with him.
The two alleged widows of ReEick are

erty which he left, and testimony has
