might be expected to know little on
mining matters and the wages of the

grand example of that ennobling prin-

In TrrkeT'S Capital.
Almost Every Religion Has Representatives in This
The Most Cosmopolitan City in the World.

The most cosmopolitan city in the
world is Constantinople. 1t is the
seat of the Sheik-ul-lslam, the eccles-
iastical head of the Moslem faith and
the seat of the Patriarchs of the Greek
and the Armenian churches. and of the
chief rabbi of the Jews. Every other
religion has its representatives among
the population. It is claimed that
there are in Constantinople representa-
tiVes of every nation and every tribe
upon the globe. and that every Ian
guage Is spoken. 1t is common to see
signs written in eight or nine Ian
guages on the fronts of the retail
shops. These races and religions are
all more or less antagonistic. There
is nothing to unite. them. Each sus-
poets the other of treachery They
have no relations, except in trade, and
in their commercial dealings they are
all trying to cheat one another.
There is a multitude of priests, di-
vided into classes and ranks. The
lowest is the muezzin, who is a sort
OF sacristan or sexton at the mosque.
He calls the faithful to prayer but
takes no part in the devotional exer-
cises. Softas are theological students,
young preachers who make up fanat-
ical and turbulent class and are the
cause of most of the disturbances in
Constantinople, as the students of uni
versities often are in other European
countries. Next to them in rank are
tho cadis, who exercise a temporal Ms
well as spiritual Jurisdiction, acting as
notaries, justices of the peace, judges
OF the courts and look after the finan
cial affairs of the different parishes
and religious orders. There are sew
eral religious brotherhoods and or
ders like the dervlshes. The moulahs
or regular priests, who conduct the
services at the mosques, may be COM
pared with the ordinary clergy in oer
country. One grade above him Is the
khodja. or professor of theology, who
Is found daily at the mosques with a
copy OF the Koran and other ortho-
dox authorities before him expounding
the faith of the Mohammedans to
groups of students and others who
gather around him sitting cross-legged
upon the floor.

MOVING FuLL-oRowN TREES

some Forty Years Old Taken from Ma
tive Soil to City.
When Andrew Carnegie sailed fol
Europe he said he expected to return
in the fall and to find waiting for him
his magnificent new home on Fifth
avenue in the block surrounded by
Ninetieth and Ninety-first streets. In
the grounds surrounding the building
there will be at that time large grove
of trees growing just as confidently
and prosperously as IL they had fur
nished the shade for the place fol
many year. These trees have beer
brought from Westchester county and
from the border of Connecticut. TheJ
have been selected with the greatest
care, all with a view to harmonizina
with distinctive artistic design. They
have been taken up, root and branch,
and hauled in huge trucks from theil
native spots to adorn Mr.. Carnegiei
Fifth avenue park. In moving these
trees care was taken not to injure the
smallest of their twigs There was
no pairing, no cutting anywhere. Mr..
Carnegie is getting old, and he wanted
these stately growths, uuw in all their
native glory. They wers 70 grow in
Fifth avenue just as they had done in
the woods and forests Tor %, 80 and
40 years. Modern science and invent
i've genius have made it possible to
transplant trees now without the loss
of any of their vitality or any OF their
beauty. This is done by means OF
complicated trucking system. At
tached to the axle joining two heavy
iron wheels is long wooden pole, at
right angles to the axle, and forming
a sort of cross with 1t. The axle is
covered in the middle by a sort OF
felt saddle. This apparatus is moved
against the tree. the saddle against its
side. Two large hooks, like fishhooks
are then placed under the two main
roots Of the trees. These hooks are
suspended by a cable stretching over
the top of the pole attached to the
axle. This cable is now pulled over
the top Of the pole by machine, and
the hooks pull the tree up without in
juring it, bringing the small tibrous
roots and the earth that surrounds
them.

Jack Sheridan, former umpire for
the American and National leagues
and known as one OF the best in the
business, has signed a contract to UNI
pire in the American Baseball League
for next season. With the signing of
Sheridan the umpire staff OF the Am
yerican League is now complete Con-

Sheridan is the last of the umpiring
officials to be signed for the Amerl-
can League Twice Mr.. Johnson made
extra efforts to sign the old timer, but
as many times Sheridan refused to
join himself to a contract on account
q OF the salary proposition. The last
time Sheridan and Mr.. Johnson con-
versed together in relation to the
former accepting a position with the
league was a week ago. 1t was then
expected that Johnson could win Jack
over, but all the inducements offered
TO him were of no avail.

is so violent that the name of Armenia
has been stricken off the map and that
province is known as Upper Turkey.
The custom house officers will not per-
NIT the importation of maps bearing
the name Armenia. II any such are
found they are confiscated and burned
and every book containing the name
Armenia is blotted by the censor.
The Greeks. who are next in num-
ber. are also business men and now
have the largest share of the merchan-
tile trade in their own quarter of the
city. Although Turkey was recently
at war with Greece and the rivalry be-
tween the two countries is bitter. there
is no hatred or prejudice against them
The same is true of the Jews. Both
races live at peace with their Turkish
neighbors, and are allowed to wor-
ship God in their own way without
interference, and are never compelled
to endure such prosecutions as have
been suffered by the Armenians for
centuries. The explanation of this is
that Greeks and Jews never NEEDLE in
politics, while the Armenians are con-
tinually doing so.

All Good Players Now.

For the next three weeks there will
be more good baseball players in the
country than ever happened before.
Practically every player under con-
tract to the American and National
leagues is at work conditioning him
self for the coming championship sea-
son and from the many training
camps come all kinds of stories of
phenomenal youngsters and wonder
fully rejuvenated veterans. This is
the one time of the year when there
are no poorer players to be found any
where. The young man who is just
breaking in and the old one who is
just hanging on are equally eager to
read the good things the papers have
to say about them. BY and by it will
be different.
