W. o. w. 1877.

On last Wednesday evening the
Woodmen of the World held their first
social in l. o. o. F. hall celebrating the
opening of the greatest fraternal demon
stration ever held in Eastern Washing
ton. The 200 Woodmen and guests were
treated to a very interesting program by
the city's best known amateur talent.
During the entertainment w. c. Krum,
general organizer for Washington,
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, gave an
eloquent address on the benefits of this
magnificent order. w. II. Bell state
organizer, also made few remarks on
the wonderful growth of Woodcraft
since it's inception into the fraternal
world twelve years ago. After the en-
tertainment the Woodmen and their
friends retired to the banquet hall and
there enjoyed all that the inner man
could wish for. After supper the hall
was cleared and the younger guests
tripped the light fantastic to their
hearts content, while the older folks en-
joyed themselves playing cards, crokin-
ole, checkers and many other games
provided for them by the committee in
charge. AS the clock showed the hour
to be late, or rather early, 2:40 a. M,
all regretted that such a grand social
event had to close and expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the enter
tainment, supper and dance and are
looking forward to the time that this
very popular order will open the doors
OF its lodge room to them again.
The committee in charge of this So
cial should be highly praised for its
splendid work in giving to our citizens
such grand time. The Woodmen
certainly hold the banner for giving
some of the very best social sessions of
any order in our great state.
Mr.. Bell, state organizer, will be To-
Gated here for three months to aid in
the upbuilding of Yakima Camp No. 80,
w. o. W., and he is sure of success with
such able help as he will be given by
most representative citizens of our city
Mr.. Bell states that on May 6 the w. O.
w. will hold large class initiation of
over l27 candidates and, also, will give
one of the finest banquets ever given in
our city, and urges every Woodman to
come to the regular meetings on every
Wednesday evening so they can find
out how to get seat at the banquet and
be of some good in this world. Neigh
Dor Krum left for Walla Walla Thurs
day, where he is holding a mammoth
for $40 new candidates and
claims he will pass that number by fifty.
The members of the W. O. w. wish to
extend thanks to all their friends who
assisted them to make this social such a
grand success.
Messrs. Baylor, Vance and Erwin re-
sponded several times to trio work
with their voices and, judging from the
demonstration accorded, they must have

In short, the entire physiognomy of
the sultan confirms his divers charac-
terlstlcs, even that of the genteness
that he assumes at times. OF medium
height, slightly rickety on his legs, and
painfully thin, he seems now only to
have his breath left, and, in fact, it is his
nerves that keep him alive. Such a con-
stitution must necessarily influence his
mentality. Abdul-Hamid is, in truth, a
victim of neurasthenia, and in some
things a monomaniac. His physical
condition alone can explain the contra
dictions of his character.
Turk who has lived long time in
close Intimacy with him has said of
him: II do not yet know whether he
is intelligent or stupid, courageous or
cowardly, sane or mad" His psyche
logical condition presents a problem
but problem that can be solved by
study.
The sultan is very intelligent, with
out doubt. But tyranny and the con-
tlnual fear in which he lives have led
him to devote all his energies to his
personal preservation, and to use only
the faculties which contribute to that
end, such as distrust. cunning, and the
instinct Of defense. These faculties are
monstrously developed, to the suffoca-
ton OF the others, and in his brain,

his empire by allowing it to be robbed
Of it's most beautiful provinces.
II, as has been said, generating rath-
er too freely, cunning is the intelli-
gence of the oriental people, the sultan
may be considered among them as man
of genius.
He is full Of dissimulated obstinacy,
and only yields to force with the secret
intention of getting back later what he
is compelled temporarily to abandon.
He is never at loss for expedients, is a
deep calculator, and knows admirably
how to escape dangers by stratagems
that are always new He is skillful
layer OF traps, and capable of all kinds
OF abjectness toward his enemies when
he fears them, and of the greatest sever
ity when he has them in his power, and
his vengeance is the heavier for having
been patiently nourished in secret.
Not only is the life of man who is
troublesome to him of little account but
spilled blood seems to calm and soothe
his shattered nerves, always stretched
to the swapping point. cat night, be-
chamberlains, che has some one to read
TO him. HIS tavorlre, books are those
giving detailed accounts of assassina-
lions and executions. The stories of
crimes excite him and prevent him
sleeping, but as soon as his reader
falls upon the criminal the sultan i'm
mediately becomes calm and falls
asleep"
Abdul-Hamid sometimes acts in cold
blood, at other times in fit of anger
When premeditated, his punishments
are more refined and subtle; then for
getting his usual prudence and cum
ming, he betrays his true character.
The sultan, like all neurotics, has mo-
ments of great irritability, during which
he becomes violent Several times he
has beaten his secretaries or his cham
berlains. Once he threw his ink stand
at the head of Kutchuk-Sa Pasha,
then secretary in chief, who was able to
dodge his head in time. Another day,
suddenly enraged with the same person.
age during discussion on the Egyptian
question, he drew from his pocket a re-
yolver and threatened to fire at the
pasha, who, terrified, implored his par
don.
1t is said that Abdul Hamid quickly
regrets his violence, which he fears will
arouse the resentment of his suite. 1t is.
moreover, his policy as we'll as his tenn
permanent to make people think him
gentle and good, and to pretend that he
has in reserve vast stores of tenderness.
He tries to enlist sympathies every
where, feeling that no one loves him.
Thus, he poses often as victim, COM
planning of the malice and ingratitude
OF men, and his complaints have such an
accent of sincerity that for the moment
they deceive those who listen.
Although his voice is naturally deem
and strong, he knows how to make il
and almost gentle, and he
has the gift Of making himself agreeable
In order to win the friendship of those
who approach him, especially foreign
ers. He takes all kinds of pains to
please them, and it is seldom that Eu-
ropean leaves him without being fasci-
mated by his cordial and charming man
ner and exquisite tact.

THE POST OFFICE AFFAIR.
Thorough Investigation VIII Be Made
Under Direction of the
President.

There have been no great steals in the
postoffice department, but it would an
pear that large number of prominent
of1clals have assisted in grating on to
the pay roll persons who had no bust
ness there, and one late official has been
indicted for receiving a substantial SIM
as bride for awarding contracts. Two
assistant attorney generals for the post
cfhce department are found by Assistant
postmaster General Bristow to have
been connected with irregularities, and
oil these both have been removed and
one has been arrested. All have been
for long time connected with the de-
partment, and all but the assistant at
torneys general were apparently civil
service appointees who had been pro-
noted on what was deemed merit" Ali
those under fire have powerful friends
and every possible influence has been
eXerted to save them from punishment,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The American people are fortunate in
knowing that they have president
whom nothing can deter from probing
this scandal to the bottom, no matter
who is hit. He does not, Of course, carry
on the investigation. That is the duty
OF the postmaster general, but the power
of the president is behind everything
which is of sufficient Importance to
claim his attention. The postmaster
general, in turn. does not deal directly
with the investigating officials, or with
those who are accused. His proper place
is that of an official to review and to
direct action on the facts as they come
before him. His action has been so
prompt and so stern as to satisfy the
most exacting critic, and he has placed
all the facts before the public as fast
as they have been properly authenticat-
ed. The real work of the investigation
has been in charge of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, and the
result shows that he is sparing nobody.
Whether we have yet seen the end is
uncertain Attention having been drawn i
to scandals in the civil service, all de-
partments are doubtless now being qui-
city examined. 1t is certain that the en-
tire administration is thoroughly
aroused. None of these derelict officials
are recent appointees Some of them date
back to Clevelan1's administration or
before. All must have borne good repu-
tatlons and gone wrong under the temp
tations of extravagant Washington life.
The greater part of the irregularities
are in petty things. The most common
offense was in getting some one irregu-
larly on the pay rolls at the behest of
some influential person. The public has
the right to know the names of the con-
gressmen or other high officials to whose
demand these officials yielded. They
may be beyond the reach of the law, and
probably are, but the public would like
to know their names just the same.

abiding passions. Thus in the progress
of time Abdul-Hamid has ended by be-
coming one of that class known to doc
tors as the prosecuting prosecuted.
He is gifted with an acute scent and
keen perspicacity, which enables him to
grasp at once the drift of events and
ascertain the nature of the danger
threatening him, which his Imagination
exaggerates out of all proportion. This
explains the violence of his repressions.
Thanks to the clearness of his percep.
ton. he can watch the under-currents,
and he knows how to eXtricate himself
from the most critical situations. Ana
lyst and psychologist, he understands
men and knows how to use them.
He has shown perfect knowledge of
the little tricks of diplomacy. He knows
how to neutralize the claims of the
powers by setting one against the 9TH
er. At the time of the Armenian mas
sacre, in 1896, he showed Chinese as
tuteness in this regard. But this intel
ligence is sometimes INSTRUCTED. Liv-
ing in continual terror of death, VIC
tim of Nightmares and WEAKNESS, this
constant thinking of nothing but his
own safety has prompted him to carry
the severity of his punishments and
the precautions inspired by his distrust
to the point of cruelty. And instead of
serving the cause of his country, this
strange monarch, concerned only with
himself, Expresses his subjects, checks
all intellectual development, and ruins

ceals almost entirely the upper lip,
which is thin and hard. The lower lip
has become still thicker, and has ac-
centuated a somewhat sensual express
sion. The line of determination which
completes the character of his mouth,
so interesting for the physiognomist, is
also deeper and more apparent
The flattened temples, with the wide
1y separated orbits, have become more
hollow, and in the depths of the eyes,
now half hidden under the dropping
eyelids and heavy lashes, seems to be
smoldering the vacillating flame of his
glance.
The eyes are the most disconcerting
part of his complex physiognomy. Re-
fecting usually uneasy melancholy, at
other times they will stare for long
time into vacancy as though absorbed in
thought, and then, if flash of anger or
fear lighen up the dark-gray iris-the
color of stormy sky-they instantly
become remarkably keen and alert, and
