corteIyou VIII Investioate.

New York, June H.-Secretary of Com
merce and Labor George b. Cortelyou,
who had a long conference with Robert
S. Rode. inspector of the Second district
of New York, after his arrival here, said
that he would give his personal atten-
ton to the Investigation of the Slocum
disaster. Mr.. Cortelyou has gone to
Westfield, Mass, where he will deliver
two addresses. He will return to New
York tonight and begin the preliminaries
of the investigation. Before leaving for
Westheld. the secretary said:
Il wish to say that a most thorough
investigation will be made into this aw-
full tragedy and that no stone will be
left unturned to lay bare the whole truth
with regard to 1t.
LAS secretary of the department of
commerce and labor | am the head of
the federal inquiry into this affair, and
] propose to give 1t my personal atten-
ton until the matter is finally settled.
AS soon as practicable the board
of inspectors will get together and take
testimony. This inquiry will be separate
and distinct from any proceedings brought
by city, state or county officials.
Not Left to Subordnates.
AZ want to correct an impression that
seems to have gone abroad that this in
yestigation will be left to subOrdinates in
the department. This is absolutely untrue
l will hold the inquiry myself, and will
have ample assistance from the most
prominent and efficient men in the depart
ment. Anyone who can throw the least
light upon the matter Will be brought
tefore the board and the taking of testi-
mony will continue so long as any one
can be found to aid us at arriving at a
correct estimate of facts. The sttings will
continue until the whole truth is known" ;"
Mr.. Cortelyou said that If 1t was found
true that employees of the government
have been criminally negectful In the
inspection of boilers in New York har-
bor the public can rest assured that no
one will be shielded, but that the blame
viii, be placed where 1t belongs.
'I want 1t thoroughly understood" !"
continued Mr.. Cortelyou, that the fed
eral authorities will protect no one; but
until It is demonstrated that some one
has been lax in his duty, | will stand
back of everyone in the service
Until we have an opportunity of max
ing the investigation | ask that the public
suspend judgment. | promise to do all |

Easy 10 Be AN Expert Pistol shot.

Easy 40 Be AN Expert Pistol Shot.
ANY man with ordinary nerve can
become a fair shot with a revolver
from the saddle with a few weeks
practice l believe in a short time a
man can become sufficiently expert to
make % out of 100 Shots" said regu-
lar army officer,
you see, it is all in learning when
to shoot. The aiming is a small part
of pistol and revolver shooting. The
aiming is just like pointing your fin
ger. 4 man can naturally point his
finger at an object accurately. If he
can do that he can aim a gun by sim
ply throwing it out in the same way.
The reason an Impractical marksman
Is no marksman at all is that he stops
to aim and gets off the mark or be-
comes unsteady in pulling the trigger.
He must learn his gun, so he will
know just the exact instant when it
goes off, just how much and how long
a pull he must make to snap the trig-
ger. When he learns so that it is Sec
ond nature to shoot just as he points
the gun, he will hit any ordinary mark
within reasonable range."-Des Moines

wArsoNs SPIEL NO SURPRISE.

Tom Watson's outburstagainst Hon.
w. J. Bryan in his Macon speech two
or three days ago created no surprise
among those who have watched the
course Of this erratic Georgian during
the presidential campaign. 1t Is re-
called that Watson's first move was
to 90 to Nebraska and endeavor to
nsrsuade the populist leaders not to
fuse with Bryan and the democrats.
Mr.. Bryan favored fusion; him.
self for the United States senate, the
electoral vote of Nebraska for Parker,
and the state offices and state control
largely for the populists. But the re-
publicans did not want Mr.. Bryan In
the senate, and did want the electoral
vote Of Nebraska for Roosevelt Wat
son was the man who could arrange
this, and he fastened to Nebraska
evidently with that aim IN view. Al
ter delivering this blow to democracy
he followed Bryan in his Indiana
tour to nulIify his influence and aid in
the defeat of Parker in that state. The
fact that Bryan and Parker opposed
cutting down Southern representation
in Congress and IN the Electoral
College, and the further fact thai
Roosevelts election would render oul
white women more unsafe a. home
and especially upon the farm, did mo-
deter the Watsonian idea. So wher
he broke loose in Macon and openly
abused Mr.. Bryan it surprised no one,
as he could no longer conceal his IL
will towards the brilliant Nebraskar
who has done and is still dong sc
much for the cause of democracy anc
white supremacy.

After two years of married life her posi-
ton grew to be intolerable to her, and
she secured the support of some American
friends for her plan of flight from Turkey
One day she left her husbands paatial
residence never to return.
Ostensibly she went out to take tea
with her American friends, but no sooner
! had she arrived at their house than she
donned the dress of western woman, com
| pletely Disgusting her identity. Her Ameri.
can allies took her on board a steam yacht
| belonging to an English peer, whose co
and an immediate start for Trieste was
made.
Princess Hairie Ben-Aiad was prudent
enough to take all her belongings in money
and iewelry with her so that she was pro
vided with sufficient means to begin life
afresh in western Europe.
She resided successfully in Vienna and
Paris, acquiring perfection in French and
German. She had mastered English pre-.
viously.
The princess is now % years of age and
full of enthusiasm about her self-imposed
mission.
Princess Marie Ben-Aiad has already de
HNeIeu duulS aaes " large audiences IN
Vienna and Berlin, the meetings being held
under the auspices of prominent women's
clubs. With a perfect command Of Lam
guage foreign to her she describes with
great eloquence the evils of polygamy as
practiced in the sultan's dominion.
She states that it is not at all unusual
for a man to marry a woman, eject her
from his harem or present her to a relative
or friend, marry her a second time, and
then divorce her again.
When a married woman desires to make
pilgrimage to the tomb of Mohammed
at Mecca, and her husband cannot accom-
pany her, she is obliged to obtain divorce
from him and marry another man who can
escort her to the holy town, which she
is not allowed to enter without a male
companion. On her return from the pill
grimage she can divorce her escort and re-
marry her original husband if she chooses.
but she may also remain with her newly
acquired mate if she prefers.
On the whole Princess Hare Ben-Aiad
makes it clear that Turkish women live in
the worst kind of bondage
Princess Hairie Ben-Aiad is writing a
book on the woman question in the Otto
man empire, which she will publish in a
| few months. When this work is com
| pleted, the princess hopes to be able to
| visit America and to arouse the sympathy
/ of American women for the sad wives OF
| Turkey Probably Princess Hairie Ben
Aiad will be one Of the distinguished for
/ eign guests at the st. Louis exposition.

BERLIN, April 2l.-Princess Hairie Ben
Aiad, formerly the wife of a powerful
Turkish pasha, is now touring Europe for
the purpose of ehlisting the sympathies of
civilized western countries for the OPP
pressed women of her native land.
Princess Hairie Ben-Aiad's father was
an enlightened Turk, and during her girl
hood she had many opportunities of as
sociating with European and American
ladies residing in Constantinople.
From them she received revolutionary
views, from the Turkish point of view, re-
garding the rights of women.
At the age of Is she was given in mar
rage to another Turkish pasta, also of
comparatively enlightened opinions. Never
theess, he was polygamist, and, although
she was not exactly treated as an ordinary
inmate of his harem, she was constantly re-
minded of the fact that she had not a
monopoly of her husbands love.
Her friendship with European and
American women in Constantinople con-
tinued and the more the princess saw of
western manners and morals the greater
became her dislike of the Turkish harem
system.

THROWING GIFTS
UPON THE STAGE

LONDON, April 2l.--There have lately
in the provinces, been several sensational
nights at prominent theaters, when, to
mark the last performance of local pan
tomime, all manner Of gifts have been
thrown upon the stage for the benefit of
popular performers.
All those acquainted for long with the
inner life of the theatrical profession can
tell some remarkable stories of these gifts
cast upon the stage.
The most celebrated and universal Of
these relates to a lady who once held the
main portion of the lease ora prominent
London theater. Whilst this lady was still
an actress only, and not a manageress-an
actress of great talent and beauty-there
was one night, on the first production OF a
piece, small bouquet cast upon the stage
at her feet. Attached to the bouquet was
a small Russian leather card case, and
inside this were bank notes to the value Of
So 900 exactly.
On no fewer than seven different oc-
casions, with tolerabIy long interval be-
tween, did the same thing occur, and the
lady, as alleged, has never from that day to
this discovered who her admirer was,
though all manner of romantic conjectures
were made at the time.
Even within the last few weeks an I'M
known, elderly gentleman threw an en-
velope, weighted with pennies and contain
ing a five-pound note, to a tiny child per
forming in London suburban pantomime
Some theaters have been celebrated for
their gift nights, all manner of presents,
from frying pans to green vegetables, hav-
ing been gently deposited on the stage for
popular actors; yet, on the other hand
both writs and summonses have been hand
ed to actors who could not be approached
through the stage door, but who consented
to receive presents over the footlights on
their benefit nights.
The most curious sight in connection
with these gift-throwing nights was in re
lation to a favorte actor who at a great
provincial theater, played during a long
pantomimic run the part of a parasite
named Cadgi who carried a pipe that had
huge bowl, and whose oft-repeated cry
was, Can anyone oblge me with bit O.
