MONOGEMY IN TURKEY.
Reasons 1t IL Coming Into
Some Favor.

Although Of late years, among Turks
highly placed, it has come to be consd-
cred as far more chic to have only one
wife, yet this laudable increase in the
practice Of monogamy does not tend to
complete emancipation from certain
writes Anna Bowman Dodd, in The
New Women in Turkey" In Century.
The mention Of ones wife to foreigner
is nowadays made the easier when one
may truthfully speak of herin the singu-
lar number. A turk may, after some
months of semi-intimacy, talk some
what freely, indeed, of his domestic life,
provided always his household Is mod
eled after the European plan of life.
The social line is drawn at the point Of
asking even lady to call. Frequent
visiting between European and Turkish
wives, when these are in the singular
number, is possible only after a some
what prolonged residence and much
friendly intercourse.
To the casual visitor there is an I'M
expected embarrassment in finding al
most all the Turks one meets in society
married to one wife only The singular
ity of this singleness Is trying, appar-
emily, to the Turk, on certain occasions
as it is eminently disappointing to the
European.
Il do SO hope the Minister of -
may grant me the honor of visiting his
harem," an American lady remarked
with the charm apomb characteristic
of the American woman.
ct PaSha would be too delighted
| am sure; only, as it happens, his ex-
cellency has no harem in the sense in
which presume, most foreigners un-
derstand our word" was the courte-
Gus reply Of the minor official to whom
this remark was addressed. HE has
but one wife, as, indeed, we mostly all
have"
Hasn't anyone a harem?" the cry
was almost fearful. Ct Pasha has
a great many children" continued the
disappointed Investigator of Turkish
customs
Yes, he has II children. His wife
is very fond of children"
as she Turkish?"
mo; she is a Circassian lady OF very
good family"
"Ah-h, a Circassian! She must be
very beautiful; the boys are so hand
some" the pretty American remarked
in a modified tone. From romantic
travellers point of view, II Turks per-
sist in marrying as virtuously and
duly as every one else, at least to
find them marrying a Circassian slave
was trifle more solacng than to have
found the single wife of correct Turk
ish descent.
The young aide de-camp smiled as
he made answer: Eyes, you are quite
right; we mostly marry Circassians
and almost all our children are bcauti-
full"
There are still enough harems
throughout Turkey sufficiently equip
ped with a plurality Of wives to satisfy
the most exactins Of travellers In
search of sensation Even in Constan-
tinople there are pashas and effendis
rich enough to keep up the old Mos
lem marital pomp. The majority,
however, OF the upper ten thousand
practice, at least outwardly, the Euro
Dean fashion OF mOnOgamy.

to meet in this city a party of friends
who were coming in from Iowa. The

reasonable. There is also wonder
full increase in cures of stomach, liv-

celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers during the past few years, be-
cause more people are learning of its
wonderful curative powers every day,
and having once tried it, will use no
other. Its success, however, only

The visitors started the fun in the
very first inning, Crum lining out a
safe one to left field. Donnelly went
out from pitcher to first, Nandine bat
ted one to Brown ut third and Brown
made a bad throw which left Naudine
safe, while Crum scored. Graham bat
ted one to left center, but was later
put out on a pretty throw by Jack
Hines to Hansen ana back to Berte.
Lister batted a double to about the
same place and Vanriine scored.

Lister sacrificed him to second.

Brown at third. who threw it to Hau-
sen and cut off Dickey at the plate
and Hansen shot the ball down to
Fuller to head off Crum. Crum threw
up one arm and the ball hit it and he
was called out for interference. The
visitors started to register a kick on
this decision, which was really un-
grateful. not to say selfish, of them,
considering the fact that the locals
had given them four hits and two
scores in that one inning.
The other score made by the visi-
tors is credited to Vandine, who made
home run by hitting the ball down
to the northeast corner of the
grounds. Score:

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 25.-If the score
of yesterdays game had been to o
in favor of Cedar Rapids it would
have been great game, but as the
figures were turned the other way
about, and Cedar Rapids instead of
Rock Island was treated to a beauti-
full coat of whitewash, it was simply
awful-iH the opinion of the local
fans
'Peachie" Graham was the artist
who officiated in the pitchers box
for the visitors and the whitcwash
brush that he welded was used to
perfection, the Rabbits being unable
to make Il single score off his delivery,
and in only one inning did thcy make
more than one hit. As on the day be
fore, the lower half of the batting
list has nice row of goose eggs in
the hitting column and the error col
umn for the Rabbits shows up strong.
One or two of those who are not
charged with errors showed up in
very poor form, notably Roberts,
whose work in left field was of kind
that mace the fans mutter under
their brcaths. He was show in getting
the ball, and when he did get it he
didn't seem to have the remotest idea
of what he ought to do with it, But
he did catch four flies, and that's
something.
