SULTAN PAINTS HIS FACE
TO HIDE HIS ILLNES
Abdul Hamid of Turkey Pretends to
Believe That He Is
Immortal.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. Ire
ports are again in circulation that the
Sultan is dangerously i'll. His Majesty
Abdul Hamid appears in the usual re-
ligious professions from the Yildiz
Kiosk but spectators are unable to
pierce the paint that always covers his
cheeks in public, and to detect whether
he shows signs Of illness.
The Sultan never betrays physical
suffering His impassive calm never
seems ruff1ed. No matter how ill he
may be, he insists on appearing in the
Selamlik procession each Friday. The
Sultan pretends TO be believe he is i'm
mortal. For more than thirty years he
has not permitted an official bulletin
about his health to be issued by his
physicians. Several times ii has been
known he was almost at the point of
death, but no bulletins were issued
from the Yildiz Kiosk.
The Sultan always rises at and puts
on a dark-colored dressing gown. 1t is
only when he expects an early state
visit that he dons a gold-embroidered
coat which fits easily. not to say bag
gily; for His Sultanship. like most ell
derly gentlemen, prefers comfort to ap-
pearance in his dress. AS soon as
prayers are ended breakfast is served.
and then an officer presents official
papers, and the government spies, of
whom there is a considerable army in
constant employment, make their re-
ports Then the second breakfast, or
dejeuner, the chief meal of the day, is
announced and at this repast all the
dishes arrive at table sealed.
After luncheon coffee and cigarettes
appear, the cigarettes which the Sui
tan smokes being made out Of tobacco
specially grown and sorted for his ex-
elusive use. A siesta, lasting two hours.
follows, and in the afternoon there are
further reports and documents to be
considered, and the evening is passed
in listening to performances on the
piano. The Sultan's taste in this direc-
ton turns to French ballet music.

TO BE IN PRIVATE HANDS.
Transfer of Interinsular Traffic Of the
PHILIPPINES.

The Philippine government has decided
to discontinue the operation of the seven
teen coast-guard shipa and turn the inter-
island water traffic of the government
over to commercial lines of steamers. To
accomplish this purpose specifications
have been prepared and bids will be ad-
yertised for within a few days both in
the Philippines and this country, in which
proposals will be invited for carrying the
mails and government passengers and
supplies over twenty-one routes in the
islands. -5
This plan is practically a return to the
method Of transportation In vogue under
Spanish rule in the islands. When the
United States established civil govern
ment in the islands the seventeen coast
guard ships were purchased and put into
commission. Prior to this four CONNER
cial companies owning lines of steamers
conducted the business. The government
ships including the operation of several
transports belonging to the quartermas-
ter's department of the army, have since
been carrying the mails and all or the
government passenger and freight trafdc
Some time ago complaint was made to
the Philippine government by the owners
of merchant steamers that their business
had been ruined through the use of gov
ernment ships. The civil governor recog-
nized the complaint to the extent of ap-
pointing a committee to investigate the
condition of the inter-island traffic. and
the action decided upon Is In accordance
with the recommendation of this commit
tee
There is a double reason for asking
American shipowners to enter the COM
petition for the shipping trade of the is
lands, one to prevent combination
among the commercial lines now estab-
lished there by which an exorbitant price
might be secured for the transportation
of the malls and government freight and
messengers and the other to meet any
possible complaint on the part OF Amert-
can shipowners that they had been ex-
cluded from participation In this bust
ness.
The proposals are SO drawn as to extend
the time in which steamers may be put
into the trade for one year, giving time
for the construction of light draft steam
ers, the type required in those waters
The commerce of the islands Is heavier
now than it was prior to American occu-
patton. There has, however, been no in
crease in the commercial shipping of the
islands, and to turn 1t over to CONNER
cial lines in its increased bulk will un-
doubtedly require the addition of ships.

PLATT's SALARY HELD UP.
Miss Wood Garnishees It and Attaches
PROPERTY,

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., last night
says: Mae Catherine Wood of Love Let
ters Of Boss" fame, stepped into the lime
light again today by filing suit against
Senator Platt and the United States Ex-
press Company for $4,000 and attaching
the property of the company in Omaha and
garnisheeing the salary of Senator Platt as
president of the express company. The pc
tition was filed late this afternoon and be-
fore the sheriff could attach the property
the express Office closed for the night. The
attachment and garnishment will be served
early tomorrow morning.
None of the officials of the Post Ottice
Department are inclined to believe that
either Miss Wood or Senator Platt had
much to do with the report made by Post
master General Payne with reference to
the postal check system. In fact, the files
show that when the bill, after being intro
duced in both houses of Congress, was SUBJ
mitted to the Postmaster General for report,
he turned 1t over to a special committee
composed Of Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer OF
the United States, chairman: William Bar
ret Ridgely. then controller of the cur
rency; Robert ]. Wynne, then first assist
ant postmaster general; w. s. Shallenber-
ger, second assistant postmaster general;
Edwin c. Madden, third assistant postmas-
ter general. and Henry A. Castle. then
aud1tor OF the treasury for the Post Office
Department.
This committee considered the post check
idea from every standpoint, and ultimately
report was submitted by a majority of the
members unfavorable to the scheme The
minority report was favorable, and was
signed by Mr.. Madden and Auditor Castle
1t is said now that Postmaster General
Payne adopted the majority report and that
Senator Platt had nothing whatsoever to do
with his decision. The unfavorable report
pointed to investigate the proposed scheme.
and there is no evidence of senatorial infiu-
ence or any other kind Of influence having
been brought to bear.

Health Of New York School Children.
From Harper's Weekly.


Following the investigation of an asser-
tion made last spring that seriously large
proportion of the school children OF New
York went to school without their break
fasts. the health authorities have deter
mined to investigate the general health OF
the New York children. As the result Of
examining 1894 children, they report that
6,294 require medical attention; that 3,314
have bad teeth: that 3.210 have defective
vision; that 1.623 show nasal breathing;
that 2604 have swelling in the anterior
glands and 1O6 in the posterior glands; that
1,G92 show bad nutrition and S23 bad men,
tality, and that about 1000 more have
OTHER specihed defects. Whether the re-
suit Of the examination was surprising to
the authorities we do not know. 1t showed,
apparently. that more than half the chill
dren had nothing the matter with them
that required medical attention. That show
ing is more likely to surprise the expert
enced parent than the tale OF diseases.
Pretty much all children in all planes of
life need medical attention from time to
time. The teeth of all American children
seem to need annual repairs from the time
they are seven or eight years old. A large
proportion of the contemporary children
have imperfect eyesight; many of them
have adenoid growths that should be re-
moved or tonsils that need to be reduced.
Altogether it is matter of average expert
ence that the proper raising of a human
child involves an annual bill for repairs
and improvements by surgeons, doctors and
dentists. Some of these repairs and I'M
provements are extremely important to the
child's future health and comfort In living.
That the health of the school children
should be watched by competent experts,
and desirable restorations made in them,
is a matter of frst-rate Importance. and
1t is good to know that II is being done,
but DIR. Biggs' report of diseased and de-
fectfve children Is not necessarily alarm
ing. Nearly all OF US, young and old, are
more or less diseased and defective. That
is one of the conditions OF human life. II
needs attention. but IL Is not desperate.

FUTURE CONTAGIOUS.
Order Designating Quarantine Station
for Smallpox Suspects.

AS a means of preventing future con-
tagion at the jail the District health off,
Ger, by Assistant Corporation Counsel F.
II. Stephens, today filed petition asking
the District Supreme Court to designate a
quarantine station, at which may be de-
tanned any person arrested in the Dis
trict suffering or suspected to be suffering
from smallpox or any other contagious dis
ease.
Heretofore all such persons when arrested
would have to be sent to police station.
Jail or workhouse, and thus all other In
mates of the station or other place of de-
tention would be exposed to infection. To
avoid this state of afafrs the health officer
asks the court to designate the present

all such persons may be detained.

SUCCUMBED TO BURNS
DEATH OF MISS WEEKS OF TREAS
URY DEPARTMENT.
Ground Bordering on the Great Geyser
Gave Way and She Was Plunged
Into Boiling Water.

The shocking death Of Miss Fannie A.
Weeks, Treasury Department clerk. Mon
day, has caused gloom among her large
circle of friends and in the department,
where she was well known and highly es-
teemed.
Miss Weeks was horribly scalded August
81 by falling into the Grand Geyser pool
of Yellowstone Park, and, after much suf-
fering, died September 4. Her remains are
expected in Washington tomorrow, and the
interment will take place in Rock Creek
cemetery, after services at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, of which she
had been for a number of years a member.
Bethlehem Chapter, No. 7, Order OF the
Eastern Star, Of which she was member,
will have charge Of the funeral services.
Miss Weeks obtained her annual leave
and left Washington about August for
trip west. She was accompanied by Miss
Eliza Hartman of Michigan, employed in
the Office Of the sixth auditor of the treas
ury. They evidently went to the Portland
exposition, which was one OF the objects OF
their trip, and returned by way of the Yel-
lowstone. Miss Weeks also wanted to in
spect some gold mines in California, having
invested considerable money in the stock
of a gold company. She had been boarding
with Capt and Mrs. ]. A. Graham, at 500
18th street, and told them she expected to
AAASA -
was heard of her after her departure until
the news came of her untimefy death.
Sank in the Boiling Water.
While in the Yellowstone Park she was
standing near the Grand Geyser. Part OF
the shore line Of the pool gave way be-
meath her, and she sank to her elbows In
the boiling water. She was removed to the
nearest hospital at Livingston and received
attention there, but the injuries were too
severe to permit her recovery. Mr.. koya-
leEky Of Cedar Rapids. Iowa. one of the
witnesses of the tragedy, notified Major
Sylvester, superintendent Of police of Wash
ington. who notified the department Off
cials after finding that Miss Weeks had
no relatives In Washington.
The day after the accident Miss Weeks
dictated the following letter to Mrs. G. Hus-
sey Of 9OS 18th street, one of her best
friends:
LIVINGSTON, Mont, August %, 1905
Dear Mrs. Hussey: While visiting one OF
tho geyser fields of Yellowstone Park the
