A TURKISH GENTLEMAN.
Accomplished European Has Becom e Universal Pattern of Oriental
 -His Social Equipment.

Among the Turkish men, as every one knows, the transformation of the exclu- sive Oriental into the accomplished Flu ropean is already become the universal pattern of Turkish gentleman, says Anna Bowman Dodd in the Century Whatever his party, whether he belong to the old or young Turkey party, the Turk of any pretension to style or to so- cial state clothes himself in certain of the European modes of thought, as he does, sartorially, in European dress.
 Whatever the laws governing the stan- dard of manners in Turkish life may be their results prove them to be be- yond criticism. The Turk has not only perfect manners, but he also has this pe- culfarity among other eastern nations; however lowly his birth, once he has arrived he is transformed into an aris- tocrat of deeply inrooted conservative tendencies, who yet presents, outward ly, most engaging, sympathetic plas- ticity. Those whose lineage has ances- tra1 distinction reveal a most engaging social equipment. Whenever want to talk to man who understands every thing, turn to B. Bey," said beau- tiful woman to me recently in Rome. ''He Is as clever as Frenchman, as ver- satile as our American men, and he has the sympathetic quality of a woman"

VIEWS OF HoNoRABLEs.
By United States Senator N. A. HANNA

Lond0n's Artillery Company Will Act
 as Afissionary I'm England.
 The Honorable Artillery Company of London were highly pleased with their visit to Washington and were especial ly delighted with their reception by the president and Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House, says the New York Times.
 They speak enthusiastically of the generous hospitality that has been shown them and promise to proclaim in England the wonderful experiences of their trip One of the Honorables said before leaving the Arlington for Niagara Falls:
 were torn with conflicting feelings. We did not know how you people would receive us. Some of us honestly be- lieved that our reception by all except the Boston Ancients would be cour- teous, but lacking in cordiality. When I heard the cheer that greeted us upon landing in Boston you could have knocked me down with a feather.
 "All doubts were removed. We were literally taken off our feet by the hos pitable Bostonians, and we haven't had time to collect ourselves since.
 "The people here are more cordial than any we have ever met There seems to be nothing you can't do for us. I think can speak for our entire com pany when say that we have never so thoroughly enjoyed anything and that the visit to America has been revela- tion.
 ITO me, at least, and I know it is the same with a large number of o1Ir fellows, the experiences of this have completely changed our idle America and Americans.
 ''The people of England don't realize what you people are over here. But every member of the Honorable Com- pany will be missionary in the best sense of the word and endeavor to cor rect the false impressions that exist''

Five dollars for a cigar! And if you bought hundred of them you would have to pay $5ee, with no discount off for cash, says the Chicago Tntey-Ocean.
 s'No, we don't sell many of them, :" said a clerk to curious customer. Sometimes a sporty-looking individ- ual, evidently from out of town, comes in here and wants the best. cigar in the shop He means the most expen- sive, of course, and the $5 cigar is shown to him. This is the way we get rid of most of them. Of course, they are worth S5, if you don't care for ex- penses. They are all Havana, includ- ing the wrapper. This is what makes them cost so much. The cigars are five times as large as the ordinary one, and 1t is extremely difficult to get leaf of Havana large enough for wrapper. In 1000 hands of tobacco we won't find one leaf of the requisite size and quality.
 The last one we sold was two weeks ago. A boy of the messenger type came in here and sidled up to the counter.
 Gimme fl dollar cigar, he de- manded.
 :" Run along said.
 By way of answer he threw $5 bill on the counter ard repeated his re- quest gave the cigar to him and he went out I suppose some one must have sent ksn for it. possibly cigar manufacturer, who wanted to keep his identity hidden

sT noticed few days ago in the wait ing-room of the Pennsylvania station in Washington about 100 Italian immi- grants" writes a correspondent. "It was about seven o'clock a. na., and the Ialians were eating their breakfasts out of baskets carried by the women of the party. I made scrutiny of the menu and found 1t consisted of single item bread Not solitary morsel did they have except these brown loaves, and they cut off huge chunks, as thick as a mans wrist, and devoured them with as much relish as though they were mak- ing most elaborate meal. Here was an object lesson in sociology. No group of American workingmen would ever be satisfied with such scanty rations The swarthy Latins who came here to work on our railroads are content with the simplest and cheapest fare. They had
 but little to eat in their native land, and little will suffice them as long as they remain in America. As unszilled la borers, do not believe we have any class In this country who can compete with them. ."--Washington Post.

LE ROY DREssER's TRAITS.
Faith of Friends I'm the shfpbuildfng
 Trust Suits Noted Witness.

Faith of Friends In the Shfpbuildfng
 Trust Suits Noted Witness.
 The sisters of Daniel Le Roy Dresser, one of the chief witnesses in the ship building trust suit, Mrs. John Mich olas Brown and Mrs. George w. Van- derbilt, can gain no more confidence than they possess in his strict integ- rity, says Newport special to the New York World. But if it were possible their faith in him has been increased by the later developments regarding the sale of the Bethlehem steel plant to him for the Shipbuilding company. They announce to their friends in New port that they will stand by their broth CT with their fortunes and their good names, both as regards his transac- uons with Charles tS. Schwab and his conduct as president of the affairs of the Trust Company of the Republic.
 But Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Vanderbilt have no need to reassure those who know Le Roy Dresser. The estimation in which he is held was well illustrat- ed when two of his friends met him the other day. Said one:
 They can talk as they please about Le Roy Dresser, but know him. He's as true as steel"
 "A precious poor simile in these days" dryly replied the other. He's as true as gold.''
 Those who were Newport high school boys trusted Le Roy Dresser when he was one of them. When the biggest among them he played football and baseball with rich boys and poor boys -long before he married a rich wom- an and his sisters were wed to rich meE. Growing older, men trusted him when he entered the Narragansett Web company in Newport and backed him, literally subscribing to the stock. The venture was failure, and the invest ors lost every dollar they put in it, but they did not lose confidence in Le Roy Dresser,

Seeing Electricity.

The phenomena of electric discharges in vacuum tubes give the nearest ap- proach to seeing electricity that are likely to be made The streams of cor puscles propelled along the tubes sus- gested to Crookes in 1870 the idea of 8 fourth state of matters. and these cor puscles-smaller than atoms, and the same in all kinds of gases-were named electrons by Stoney, and have come to be regarded as the electric parts of all atoms, or even as making up matter itself When torn from its groups or from matter the electron travels with speed comparable to that Of light. A body charged with electricity, if at rest, presents the xphenomena of elec- trostatics; if in motion, those of elee- tricity and magnetisms if in acceleration or change of motion. those of light and radiation generally
