her. The proud Tsherkess maiden. however.
thrust him back very energetically and made
complaints to her brother.
Chemseddin swallowed his anger for the
moment and asked some courtiers in high
position to plead with Abdul Hamid. They
however, did not venture to mix in the affair
At last he besought the famous Ghazi-Osman
Pasha. the hero OF Plevna. TO advise him
what to do. The latter told him simply to
write to his Majesty and promised, In bis
character OF court-marshal, TO hands in his
missve to the Sultan
Chemseddn Immediately sat down and wrote
a letter to the Sultan which in regard to dis
tinctness left nothing to be wished for.
The purport Of the letter was as follows:
II take the liberty OF reminding your Ma
jesty that my sister is a free-born woman
and that in this character che will not be
treated as a slave. II your Majesty thinks
her worthy OF looking upon. there is. in ac-
cordance with the laws OF the Almighty but
one way open and that is that II my sister
consents your Majesty should marry her
These lines address to your Majesty as
the Calf. whose sacred duty II is to respect
the commandments Of our religion, to protect
the weak and guard the virtue of our wives
daughters and sisters from low designs"
That struck home. Abdul-Hamid wild with
fury, had Chemseddin Bey arrested. but he
had to send the young girl home. Immediately
after, she was married 10 protect her from
further persecution on the part Of the Sultan.
Her brother was kept a prisoner two years
and badly treated. but finally Abdul Hamid-
to get him out Of the country-gave him a

RAISING IMMENSE SUM
FOR GIFT TO THE KAISER

BERLIN, June 19.-Loyal subjects
are raising $1,25000o for a silver we'd
ding anniversary gift to Emperor Will
liam and the Empress. The twenty
fifth anniversary of their marriage
does not come until the 9th of next
February, but the promoters of the
scheme deemed it wise to start SUBJ
scriptions now.
The money will be put into a vari-
ETY. of things which it is thought their
Majesties will appreciate. The fol-
lowing items will consume the most
of the money:
Decoration of the Kaiser Wilhelm
Memorial Church with mosaics.
The building of a memorial church
to the late Empress Augusta.
The building of a convalescent home
on the Mount of Olives near Jerusa-
lem
The purchase of buildings as conval-
escent homes for sick officers of the
army and navy.
Another present probably will be sill
yer models of the leading types of the
ships which have belonged to the Ger
man navy since the time of the Great
Elector, to be arranged on shelves in
the Emperor's working-room.

One day the Sultan was most attentive TO
a young TsherlSess girl His passionate court
ing seemed to make impression upon her
and he wanted to know the reason OF her cool
ness. Il do not like bearded men," was the
curt reply. The Sultan bit his lip. but said
nothing. short while after this the Usher
kess maiden married a beardess secretary of
the Privy Office. On the morning after their
wedding an order was issued TO the effect
that all secretaries of that office must let their
boards grow. The young wife was highly
amused at this peculiar wedding present from
her rejected lover and on the next opportunity
she said to the monarch with her sweetest
smile: Thanks. your Majesty. for your kind
intention. Your Majesty has reconciled me

which he daily added observations made con-

searching OF the house by the magistrates, the
papers were seized. and the physician himself.
after thirty years OF faithful service, fell into
disgrace.
The wife OF another Of the Sultan's physi-
clans. Emin Pasha, who was suspected by his
wife Of inhdelity. notified the Sultan that her
husband involved in a conspiracy against

THE SULTAN'S ONE WIFE.
According to law slavery no longer exists in
Turkey, but in reality It aourishes there as
much as it ever did, without any authority
prising il one considers that the Sultan's pal
are settlements of slaves The Suitan's
wives are all slaves-sn with the exception OF
one legitimate wife-a wife who originally had
also been slave. but whom. however. he had
marry. This young girl, by name saf-Naz.
was. like her two sisters. a slave Of my father,
Mahmoud Pasha Ben-Ayad
My father presented the late Sultan, Abdul
Aziz with Ssf-Naz and one Of her sisters,
Yildiz. These human gifts were handed over
with pomp and luxury, according TO the wealth
Of the donor. Sah-Naz and Yildiz were dressed
in silk and brccade. their brows encircled by
diadern. the stones Of which shone and sparkled
in every color Of the rainbow. Their ears, fin
gers and girdles were literally studded with
diamonds. Their beaming beauty harmonized
well with the dazzling splendor of the gems.
] think I may boldly assert that nowhere, ex-
cept in the Orient. could such asplendor be
imagined.
The two young maidens were handed
in most ceremonious style by one Of my faith
er's eunuchs under guidance OF Guirdi Ahmed
Achs. at the time a clerk at the notsrial office
in Stambul. Abdul-Aziz was so deeply affected
BY the sight OF the two beautiful slaves that
he directly inquired in what manner he might
return the compliment. He gave each servant
800 Turkish pounds about 5000 and begged
