MANY ANDVAROSJ JOYS WOES OF ABDUL HAD SULTAN OF

it is considered mark OF unusual dis
tinction.
The Sultan's dress is extremely simple
and free from extravaganza. He wears
military uniform and campaign cloak
such as is wcrn by the ordinary officers
Of the army. His Jewels however, are
unsurpassed by any of the sovereigns
OF Europe. When his majesty requires
new suit Of clothes lsmet Bey. his fos-
ter brother, is used as model by the
tailor. as he and the Sultan are almost
of the same size.
His diet is also very simple. He cats
very little, of the plainest food. and
never touches wine or liquors of any
kind. but consumes enormous quantities
of coffee. which aggravates his ner-
vousncss. Up to few years ago a
servant with coffee pot always fol-
lowed him when he went out for exer-
else, and while driving in the park cof-
fee stations were placed at frequent in
tcrvals. where he could stop and refresh
himself. By the advice of his physicians
he now limits himself to five or six cups
of his favorite beverage day. and it is
said that he has himself noticed an i'm
provement in his health. He is not so
nervous, and sleeps better. General
Porter. the American ambassador to
Paris. tells of his dinner at the Yildiz
Kiosk. when the Sultan ate little but
American corn bread and soup. His
meals are cooked separately from those
served to his family and guests. and the
same man always prepares them. in
little room like laboratory. not bigger
than an ordinary bathroom. During their
preparation guard always stands at
the door. for fear Of poison. The food
purchased for the Sultan's use is kept
in a huge safe. to which his private chef
The Washington times., 1902-08-17

alone has the key. Eggs and milk are
the principal articles of his diet He sell
dom touches meat, and at dinner usually
has one or two vegetables.
Not being able to sleep, the Sultan
does not retire before midnight, and is
always up by 4:30 or o'clock in the
morning. when he puts on long silken
robe. takes a cup of coffee. smokes a
few cigarettes. and reads his corre-
spondence. About o'clock he takes a
bath, and then a breakfast OF eggs and
rolls and more coffee. At l o'clock his
luncheon is served. which is seldom
more than a crust of bread and glass
OF milk-perhaps a small omelet. AL
though he takes lis breakfast and
luncheon alone. his dinners are always
served with great ceremony. His young
er sons. several Of his secretaries. and
usually two or three of his ministers
dine with him. The list of his guests
is usually made out by the grand cham
berlain of the palace and submitted TO
his majesty's approval. The dinner is
with liveried attendants and an orches-
ira In the balcony of the state dining
room, which is a gorgeous apartment.
As a formality each course is placed be-
fore the Sultan by the chief butler be-
fore 1t is served to his guests. although
he never touches 1t himself, his own
food being brought from his private
kitchen by his personal attendant. Some
times he dimes in his harem. where sew
eral of his wives and daughters receive
him with great ceremony.
Yildiz, the park in which the palace
is situated. is a veritable city. with
population of nearly 5000, including the
members of the official staff and their

the Sultan win waken and inquire the
cause In addition to this guard an
officer sits at each corner OF the cor
ridor. where he can see both ways. In
order to prevent any conspiracy de-
tail for this purpose is made from
among the subaIterns of the different
regiments about the palace every night.
The names are drawn by lot few mo-
meats before the hour and no one knows
of his selection until be receives orders
to report. These officers have watches
Of four hours each. coming on duty at
sunset and remaining until sunrise. The
Sultan is such light sleeper that he
awakens every time the guard is
changed.
He is extremely fond of music. and
when restless his orchestra. which is
under the direction of Dussap Pasha, is
required TO play all night, or until or
ders are sent to relieve them. His ma
iesty is also found of theatrical and
vaudeville performances and similar di-
versions, hnding them relief from his
perpetual fears. A theater connected
with the palace has two troupes of we'll
paid actors for dramatic and musical
perici mances. One of them is composed
Of Turkish and the ether of French and
Italian artists. Foreign actresses and
opera singers who visit Constantinople
are always anxious to appear before the
Sultan. because they not only receive
liberal compensation from the master
of ceremonies. but II they happen to
please his majesty is sure to present
them with valuable jewels Few people
except members of the imperial family
are permitted TO attend these psrform-
arces When tho Sultan invite3 one of

they are classified. translated, and ar
ranged for the Sultans inspection. -Hs
spends great deal of time reading
them and frequently receives important
suggestions and information from them.
A correspondent was warned that
every letter that he wrote from Turkey
last winter would be read by the Sultan
personally. Missionaries and others
from whom he obtained information fire.
quently asked him not to publish GER
tain things. because the Sultan was GER
tain to see them and trace them to
their source. One gentleman. in giving
him an account OF certain enterprise.
remarked: Il wish you would say that
the Sultan takes a great interest in our
affairs. IT will do you no harm and
will do US a great deal of good. for he
is certain to see your letter and will be
pleased"
The largest sums OF money expended
in purchasing the good opinion Of tho
press are expended in Germany and
France, for the Kaiser is the SuItan's
pest frlend ana most reIable supporter,
and he is pleased when the German
newspapers approve his policy.
Although the censorship in Turkey 10
very strict. the Sultan is thorough be-
liever in the usefulness and Importance
Of the press. and in 1856 conceived the
idea of founding a great national Jour-
nal, to be published In the Turkish and
French languages and to be for Turkey
what the London Times" is to Great
Britain. He appointed a committee Of
hve of his ministers and secretaries to
formulate a plan and prepare estimates
of the cost. but when he received a re-
port and found how expensive luxury
his proposed newspaper would be he
abandoned the idea.

him. Therefore, light is always kept
grand master of the imperial wardrobe.
always sleeps in the same room. Ismet
Bey is his foster brother. and probably
possesses his confidence more than any
other living man. Because he resem-
bles the Sultan in appearance so closely
IL is believed among the gosslps OF Con-
stantinople tina. he often impersonates
his majesty at ceremonies and on other
occasions when he is likely TO be ex-
posed to the danger of assassination.
Ismet Bey carries the keys to his desk.
his wardrobe and his treasury caskets
and is perhaps trusted further and
knows more secrets than any other man
about the palace. but he has no influ-
ence whatever with the Sultan. and
would not attempt to exercise it if he
did. for It would be fatal TO him. BY
lifetime OF devotion. as unselflsh as any
Turk can render. he has demonstrated
his loyalty and disinterestedness.
The Sultan is always restless and is
awakened at the slightest sound When
he awakes he always wants somebody
to talk to. and Elias Bey. second officer
of the wardrobe, and Faik Bey, one OF
his confidential secretaries. are usually
at hand for that purpose. The Sultan
sleeps in detached chamber, sur
rounded By corridor on all four sides.
and it is a popular impression that the
walls are of steel. Four or FIVE SEN
tinels slowly race the corridor during
the entire night. and If the regular

wants, the chambermaids. the aides-de-
camp, the imperial guard. which con-
sists of several regiments. Wallets, do
mestics. and other employees, including a
number of masons. carpenters. and 9TH
er mechanics. The Sultan has ma
chine shop for the repair of machinery
and upon the place. an arsenal. which
contains several thousand stands OF
arms for both sport and war. Sand sam
pies OF all patents and styles. He has
also very rich collection of antique
oriental arms.
One OF his majesty's fads is the manu-
facture OF porcelain. He has recently
set up factory in the park and import
ed a number of French artists. who are
making placques and other ornaments.
He is fond of wild animals and has
quite an interesting geological garden.
with one of the best kennels Of dogs in
the world.
1t is stated by a high authority In
Constantinople that the sultan pays
$500, 1000 annually as subsidies to news
papers in Vienna. Berlin. Paris. and
other cities of Europe to defend him
and his acts and create public sentiment
in his favor. After the Armenian mas
sacres few years ago he distributed
more than 81 .000. 900 among the newspa-
pers that treated him kindly. Notwith-
standing his self-enforced seclusion, he
is as familiar with European affairs as
any man on the continent. and scarcely
anything that appears in print OF i'm
portance or interest concerning him or
his empire fails to meet his eye. His
ambassadors and ministers at the Diff
terent capitals are instructed to secure
all press clippings that relate to Turkey
and forward them to Q central informa-

nervous disease which is q form OF in

to say nothing OF excessive coffee drink

a Constantinople physician, who has
had abundant opportunities for studying
his case. recently said that Abdul Ham
i'd, Sultan of Turkey. is a victim OF
neurasthenia, a nervous disease which
is n form OF insanity. and that his
psychological condition presents most
interesting problem. for his symptoms
are complex and vary materially from
time to time. He is naturally very in

Of assassination, being afflicted with
chronic insomnia and having a natural

subject OF self-preservation. His dis
position Is gentle, and If he had lived
as an ordinary man he might have
escaped the disease from which he suf-
fers almost continual agony. but his mis-
trustfm OF everyone around him has be-
come chronic. and he has developed a
cunning that is never at loss for
expedieuts.
He sleeps only two or three hours out
