because of the exquisite cleanli-

Of that restaurant allow this as an ad-

nothing better. The wooden tables
shine with cleanliness, the cooks are
clean and bright, with spotless white

an appetite to look into that kitchen.

new profession is the superintendent

Later Busche was taken before the
grand jury, where he remained en-

Tears streamed down his cheeks. With

Busche prefaced his remarks by
saying that all sorts of money was used
at that time to influence legislation.

heather ways, and one of the chief of
these was the degradation of woman.
Anyway, the Turkish ideal of wom-
anhood is certainly heathenish enough,

with that admission. Now, not wom-

a man, for Turkish women are too
sunken in ignorance and slavery to de-

aroused profound sensation in the Mos

but it is among the men that the new
woman awakening is taking place. The
party Of the Young Turks, especially
those educated in western European
schools, are welcoming the new woman
book as great illumination and de-
handing for themselves educated
wives capable of being their intellec-

Meantime in Constantinople itself a
modest new woman work is progressing
quietly, unobtrusively-that is, sending
out year by year the very girls that
young Turkey wants for its wives and
intellectual comrades. This movement
centers in the American College For
Girls at the Turkish capital, a college
founded and maintained by noble
American women
The students of the school comprise
the strangest mixture of races ever
drawn together by the common desire
for an education. Fifteen different
nationalities are represented, ranging
from Persian TO Greek and English.
Every brand of theology known to man,
except perhaps fetchism, is also rep
resented among the girls, and. owing
to the gentle influence of the teachers.

Another Plagne Case.

Mazatlan, Mex, May 16.--It was ru-

Master B. 3. Ward, son of Gerald

were directed to visit the patients
