THE WOMEN OF TURKEY.
Friday the Only Day They Have ;
Little Liberty.

Little Liberty.
Friday is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy a little liberty
and release from the dreadful seclu-
sion in which they are always kept,
and they are not slow to avail them
selves of the chance. On Fridays
every one goes to the sweet waters OF
Asia, which consist of small river
running about two miles inland, with
trees and meadows on each side.
Hundreds of boats assemble and
glide UP and down the river. Every
boat or caique has two or more Turk
ish ladies on board. The sight is a
very fine one, as each private caique
is most carefully got up, and the boat
men wear brilliant liveries to match
the cushions and the long embroid-
cred cloth which hangs over the stern
and trails in the water.
The khedivah OF Egypt's is one OF
the finest, in crimson and gold, en-
broidered with crowns and fishes. Be-
sides the liveries and parasols make
a wonderful show, and here may be
seen all the latest Partisan creations.
The ladies must not speak to men, but
the careful observer can frequently
catch sight of wells lowered or other
signal given when a particular boat
is passing, and habitual frequenters
can point out boats which are some
times close to each other.
1t is a very innocent diversion and
would not satisfy Western ladies'. An
hour before sunset the police boats
appear and force all women to leave.

Shall 1 COMPLAIN?

Shall I complain because the feast ie

And all the banquet lights have ceased
to shine?
For joy that was. and is no longer
mine:
For love that came and went and comes
no more:
For hopes and dreams that left my
open door:
Shall l. who hold the past in fee re-
pine?
Nay! there are those who never quafred
life's wine,
That were the unblest fate one might
deplore-
To sit alone and dream, at set of sun.
When all the world is vague with COM

To hear old voices whisper. sweet and

And see dear faces steal back. one by

And thrill anew to each long-past de-

Shall 1 complain. who still this bliss

FRYE OPPOSES REVISION.
Would Spoil Prosperity and Cause
General Business Depression.

Especial to New York Times)
Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Frye of Maine does not sympathize
with the agitation in favor of tariff
revision Speaking of this question to-
day, he said:
Talk of tariff revision is absurd.
The country is in the midst of great
prosperity. Why should we spoil it
by entering upon legislation which
would disarrange business relations
and certainly cause depression over
the country? There is no demand for
1T in New England. 1 suppose there
may be people in Massachusetts who
want some changes, but they always
have few cranks in Massachusetts
The Republican who ran for Congress
on revision platform was twice de-
feated in a Republican district.
1t IS equally absurd to propose tar
IN revision as a means of regulating
the trusts. Suppose we should at
tempt to reduce the tariff on articles
made by trusts? Smaller concerns
engaged in similar business would
be affected by the new rates Just the
same as the trusts themselves. What
would be the result? Small concerns
would be most severely harmed and
some or them would be driven out
OF business entirely, while the trusts
could better stand under the new con-
ditions and would have a greater mon
opoly than ever
Senator Frye thinks it probable the
senate will complete such amend.

A Curious Legend.

A tailor in the island of Lewis saw
his wife and a number Of other women
disappear up the chimney of a farm
house, and from their excursion they
returned with a great catch OF fish.
The tailor proposed that he should
accompany the party the next time
they went fishing, and the women con-
sented. To the number of eighteen
the witches went to sea on line OF
worsted thread, the tailor's wife be-
ing left ashore to hold the ball or end
of the line in her hand. The tailor
persuaded her to go with the rest and
leave him in charge of the line. She
went, and the tailor paid out more
line till he thought the witches far
enough out at sea- He then cut the
thread and allowed the whole lot to
drown.-Chicago News.

ADVANCEMENT or NEGROES

At recent session Of the Conference
for Education at Richmond, facts and
figures concerning the material pro-
| gress Of the negroes In that southern
capital We're studied by President Og-

ence, They had many facilities for
obtaining information, and much OF It
is OF general interest
II wasifound, for instance, that the
city has q population OF j2.i9S whites
and $3.50 colored. The report Of the
State Auditor for 1901 shows that the
Richmond whites paid taxes on real
property assessed at $1,000 900 and the
negroes on an assessment OF Ss24,OOO.
These figures being below the actual
value II is o conservative statement
that Richmond negroes who owned less
