1T COSTS ABDUL HAMID
5000 PER TO SLEEP
Big Price for Slumber Paid by Tur-
keys Sultan.

Special Foreign Service.
CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. 81
Sleep that costs $500 a night seems
pretty expensive, but that is what the
sultan of Turkey is now paying for the
privilege of more or less tranquil re-
pose. The money is received by the
members of the special military staff
which guards Abdul Hamid's bed
room, and which consists of two gen
erals. u colonel major, captain and
several soldiers. For their nights work
each of the two generals gets so Turk
ish pounds-or about $235-the colonel
40, the major 35, the captain 80, and
each soldier l, the entire amount ag-
gregating slightly over 5000 in Ameri-
can money. The officers and men get
their fee every morning Immediately
they have been relieved, and don't
have to wait for it like some pretty big
nations to whom Abdul Hamid owes
money
This expensive night guard of the
sultan's has been maintained by him
only since the recent assassination of
the royal couple of Servia. OF course,
the timorous ruler of Turkey always
has been particularly well guarded at
night, but the murders at Belgrade
scared Abdul Hamid almost out of his
wits and he Immediately determined
that he would surround his bed cham
Der with the most Vigilant men who
could be secured and make it to their
interest to protect him. The command
of the special night guard is intrusted
to eight of the sultan's most trusted
generals. Owing chiefly to this and
other precautions that the ruler has
adopted recently. it is estimated that
the weekly expense of running Yildez
Kiosk is over $4,000.

THE ARMY OF THE PHILIPPINES.

That was a remarkable gathering
which assembled in this city yester-
day and proceeded to deliberate on af-
fairs of interest to the member of the
Society of the Army of the Philip
pines. 1t was remarkable for many
things and most conspicuously SO by
reason of the fact that it was COM
posed of men still young in years,
strong in brains and Drawn and pos
sessed of experience that must go far
in helping them to live as American
gentlemen and patriots.
Not since the close of the Civil war
has opportunity presented itself for
the assembling of beardless majors and
colonies who had won their titles in
actual warfare. The Philippine war;
whatever else 1t failed in, most as
traits in our young men. 1t gave a
flip to our Americanism and helped
bring out the qualities of citizenship
that were being suppressed by the af-
LCNlCu ~ 4ilSloIu VI d lie lIldI was
wholly selfish. The Philippine war,
so far as the volunteer armies of the
United States were concerned, was a
good thing for the survivors.
1t was rather an inspiring sight to
watch the crowd of young and Yigor-
Gus men in that convention. Every
man of the lot a veteran and entitled
to the handle he had to his name, the
convention was a striking illustration
of the fact that we develop young.
The members of the Army of the Phil
ippines have their lives all before them
yet many of them have already &C
complished the work of a lifetime.
Their organization is a good thing.
1t will serve to keep alive memories
that should not be allowed to die.
There is nothing of bitterness in
those memories and whatever there
may be Of regret in them it can only
be because some there are who rest
under the palms of the Pacific isles,
the remembrance of them hallowed by
the knowledge that they died in order
that their fellows might live and the
republic remain victorious.

AN AusPlcIous OPENING.

The most ardent friend of the Min
nesota State Fair ought to be satisfied
with the record of it's opening day.
Nature did her best. The weather was
simply ideal, and the attendance was
worthy of an institution which long
ago passed the boundaries of a mere
local affair and acquired a national
reputation.
The management also displayed ex
cellent judgment and were rarely sue
cessful in drawing the people. Time
was, not many years ago, when the
opening day of the great show was a
dreary affair." The old, bad habit lin
gered of having the exhibits only par
TALLY in place, the fair grounds a mass
drays, everything incomplete, and the
track and other events nothing out Of
the ordinary. And it was not until the
week was nearly half over, and half
the time consumed and half the gate
receipts sacrificed, that the fair was
really under way.
The visitor yesterday had nothing to
complain Of. The grounds were in or
der and the exhibits might have been
in progress for days, for all that he
could see of incompleteness. The
opening address. was made by Senator
Fairbanks, who is an orator of high
national standing as we'll as a man
whose name stands very near the head
of the list in the councils Of his party.
And his speech on this occasion would
alone have drawn a big attendance.
Then there was the happy hit Of
placing Dan Patch, on the programme
for the first afternoon, and an enor-
nous crowd there was to witness the
trial of the great PAGER. People
crowded the grand stand and swarmed
everywhere, and they were not disap-
pointed. For if the famous horse did
not break his record, he came near
enough to it to. satisfy everybody;
and it is even open to doubt whether
he ever struck a better pace than he
did yesterday afternoon.
All these successful events not only
drew the public, but they created a
justly favorable impression. The peo-
pie who were at the fair yesterday will
want to go again. Every friend to
whom they tell the story of the day
will want to go. Like every other Ie-
gitimate enterprise, the fair is it's own
best advertisement; and yesterday 1t
surely gave itself a great send off. 1t
was a most suspicious opening, and
now We hope to see the record for at
tendance broken every day until the
gates shall close next Saturday night

Question of Controlling Men.

stage. when everything is staked on

Gov. Van SAINT was shown through

that the two pedestals will be mount

the governor favorably and he remark

or moose be placed there. This is
point the commission should consid-
er, and as the governor said it would
be more in harmony with the Western
life and we agree with the governor.
We see no reason why lions should be
placed there; two buffaloes, such as
roamed DER the Minnesota prairies
would be far more appropriate and

At St. Paul Theaters

Chauncey Olcott is thriving nightly

with an enthusiastic reception. This
season Mr.. Olcott is proving to be an
even greater attraction than he has
been in the past. A matinee will be

There are many things to take into
reckoning when accounting for the
vogue of "'Way Down East" which
will be at the Metropolitan opera
house the week of Sept. 6, with
special matinee on Labor day.
The simplicity and the directness of
the story appeal to everybody, the
broad fun Of the inimitable Hi Heller
and the comedy of the other charac-
tiers, the realism of the various scenes,
the stimulation of the blizzard, the
strength of the company, and the pow
er of the third act scene-these things
in some measure will tell why WAY
