THE ALBANIANS.
Characteristics Of This People-Thei,
Division Into Two Factions.

Division Into Two Factions.
From the Boston Transcript.
Every one who has travelled in the Levant
has seen Albanians. and purchased photo
| graphs of the sturdy rather handsome
| sometimes truculent-looking men, with their
wonderful white skirts, deliberately orna-
mental vests, girdled with pistols and dirks
| galore. and general jaunty air, as If they
owned the world, who attend foreign con-
sulates usher in guests at the embassies,
and sometimes conduct parties Of tourists.
On being told that these men are Arnaouts,
or Albanians. those who have read history
| recall Islander Beg Ali Pasha of Janina
and Mehemet Ali Of Egypt and Immediate
~ take for granted that the nation is Mo-
hammedan. and of the same ilk as the
Turkish Bash Bazouk who figured so
prominently in the Bulgarian and Armenian
maSSacres
AS matter of fact, the great majority
are Christians. there beingonly enough Mos
lem renegades among them to serve the
purpose of the Turkish government and en-
able Abdul Hamid II to recruit his Albanian
guards and use them for any dirty work he
wants done. 1t Is one Of the miseries of
the Balkan peninsula that the Christian
population has intermingled with it Mos
lem population of the same blood and
speech, but with the peculiar fanaticism
winch IS apt to attend anywhere in the
"oiiu d ueIiial OF ancestral faith and the
acceptance Of dominant religion
When the change carries with it the dis
tlnctlve elements of Islam, the result is a
ferocfty and brutality almost inconceiya-
Die The worst Kurds of the Persian bor-
DER are those of Armenian descent, but of
MoSlem faith. The Moslem Bulgarians of
the Rhodope mountains are responsible for
lar more anG worse outrages than can be
laid to the credit of the Turks themselves.
and Moslem Croats, Bosniacs and Serbs
are the most prolific source of trouble In
their respective countries
The same. thing is true among the people
who call themselves ''Skipetar" the Eagle
people, but more commonly Arnaouts. or
Albanans, the last name being that of a
single tribe. the Albani who cepital is
Elbassan. The great majority are Chris
tans, about equally divided between the
Roman Catholic and the Greek churches
but 1ntermingled with them is a considera-
pie Mosiem population of the same race
language, and general characteristics, with
however, the arrogance of a dominant
falth, and contempt for their fellows who
nave not the inestimable privilege of the
Koran.
Owing partly to natural vigor and rough
ness of character, partly to their mountain
Gus country. partly to the constant feuds
and jealousies fostered by the rival IN
nuences of Roman Catholics, Greeks and
Mosems, there has been far less develop
ment among the Albanians than among the
Greeks or Bulgarians. Southern Albania
IS dominantly Greek, and with the growth
or Greek national life there has been more
or less of an effort to draw the Tosk. or
Greek Church Albanians, into closer rela-
tons. with view to the extension of
Greek influence along the shoresLof the

JUSTICE TO SHEPHERD.
Time Sets All Things Even and Vindi-
Gates Righteousness of Mems PURPOSES.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune
thine at last sets all thigs even," so
says the poet, and generally it is true
Many man dies before the evening-up
process is completed but in the end right
prevails, and merit to which there may
have been universal blindness is at last
recognized. 1t requires patience and often
courage of a high order to pursue the
pathway of right, as God gives one to
see the right but time will vindicate the
Righteousness of mems purposes. This is
strikingly illustrated In an event at the
national capital yesterday. Thirty years
ago Alexander r. Shepherd was. undoubt-
eddy the most, or at least one of the most
popular men In Washington He was
abused and traduced through the local
press and by the press all over the coun-
try; two men could hardly meet on the
streets or about the public places of the
city without one or both of them indulg-
ing in the most Incorporate and gem
orally scurrilous denunciation of Alexan-
der K. Shepherd then at the head Of the
local municipal government of Washington.
His offense consisted in a determine
ton to make the capital city famous for
its beautiful streets and notable parks.
He saw that the streets were properly
graded and did not stop to consider whose
property should be cut down or where fills
should be made in order to give the streets
ana avenues proper grade. 1t cost
AilOhCy " w II, anu ne was charged with
extravaganza and Misrepresentation Of pub
lie funds. But, deaf to the outcry that
was raised against him, he went right
along, conscious that he was right and
brave enough to do right. The consequence
is, our national capital is the pride Of all
Americans and the admiration of the
world. His work done, or so much of 1t
done that there could be no backward step,
he left the city, went, as some thought,
into voluntary exile, in Mexico, where he,
through the same sound business judg-
ment and energy displayed in his official
life, achieved fortune. A little while
ago he died there. His remains were
taken back to the city for which he did
such wonders for interment.
Yesterday he was given notable flu
neral. The leading men of the city and
the country We'd with each other in pay
ing tribute to his memory. The public
schools of the city We're closed for the day
as a mark of respect to Washington's
and the nations benefactor. Who would
that the time would ever come when
everybody would agree that this much
and bitterly traduced man was right and
that the universal public was wrong.
Then there were few found who would
face the angry mob and defend him. Now
everybody comedies that ne did a great
thing for the capital and for the country.
Alexander r. Shepherd has gone to the
grave, and whether he fully realized the
transformation of public sentiment in his
favor, truly in his case time has at last
set all things even.
