done in his name. Not long ago a
young student was arrested and Inn
prisoned because paper was found In
his house which contained Gladstone's
statement that the sultan was an as
sassin. It was only a scrap Of paper,
and had been given him because the
other side contained an advertisement
for a hair restorer, and he, in taking
the paper to his house, did not know of
man was kept in prison until he died
because a book was found in his pos
session containing a picture Of the sui
tan under which someone, unknown to
him, had written the word dog. A third
man was arrested because in ordering
an engine, he sent a telegram contain
ing the words: "Seventy revolutions. -
In his orr inal order he neglected to
state the number Of revolutions, and
sent the telegram in answer to an in
quiry. A fourth man was imprisoned be-
cause he received telegram: inquirinag
about burglary, the authorities mistak:
ing the word "burglary' for the word
bulgaria, - where the authorities were
expecting an uprising. These instances
and we heard of many more-are
given simply to show that the citizen
Of Turkey is in constant danger Of i'm
prisonment, however innocent he may
be of any intention to violate the law.
But it is In the realm of the censor
that the most amusing cases have oc-
Cured. The officials are destroying a
great many books just now in Turkey.
and are very careful about the
introduction of new ones. Recently
the wife of a justice Of the peace,
frightened by the confscation Of books
in the houses Of her neighbors,
thought to avoid all possible danger
by burning her husband s library, but
her hope was in vain, for her husband
was arrested as a dangerous character
on the ground that he must have had
a library; AS he was holding a judi
cial position, the fact that he no long
or had books was sufficient ground
for suspicion.
Religious publications are subjected
to very strict censorship. Sunday
school lessons have been cut out be-
cause they quoted from the Old Tesla
ment in regard to the killing Of kings.
and the word ''Christian" is often
added before sinners in order to make
the text exclude Mohammedans. A

new way to raise money. The church
has as a friend a prominent farmer, J.
G. Strong, whose lands lie near this
town. He made a proposition some
months ago to the members of the
church that he would give to the organ
ization fifty acres of land for use during
the coming summer, the proceeds there
Of to be devoted to the church. This
was promptly accepted and the ladies
Of the Aid society enlisted the assist
ance of the members Of the church until
the whole organization was thoroly en-
Unused with the idea Of farming for
the benefit of religion.
On May Is the church turned out to
put in the crop for the season. It was
decided to plant the land to corn.
four horses each, as was needed, were
on hand at Z o'clock in the morning.
Everybody turned out to help or look
on and see the church folks farm. In
sense it was frolic, but in actual
practice it was very businesslike pro-
ceeding. A. M. Wright, himself prac-
teal farmer, was elected superintendent
for the day, and he kept everybody
busy for eleven strenuous hours. First
came the pl0Ws, thaG turned over the
burrows rapidly and left a smooth,
brown surface behind; then were the
harrows; then later the corn planters
and check rowers. Team after team made
its circle of the field, and rapidly the
work was done until by 6 o'clock in the
evening the last turn was made.
In the meanwhile the women of the
church had not been idle. They brought
hoes and rakes and along the edges of
the field where the machinery could
not do it's work they planted in the
extra hills of corn, determined that
no foot of land should be wasted. More
than that, they served as messengers.
Half dozen Of the brightest girls in
the Sunday school, mounted cross saddle
on horseback, raced up and down the
fields as eager to do their part as any.
The Aid society erected tent in 4
convenient part of the farm and in it
served lunch to the perspiring workers
who were putting in the crop of corn.
| "A generous MONDAY meal was served
and after O'Clock all joined in a
| hearty repast, which was thoroIy enc
| ioyed because it was well earned
The gathering of the grain will be ae
! companied by suitable exercises and tE
celebration will be well worth While.f

Sunday school lesson about Josiah, the
boy king, was objected to because the
authorities did not think it proper to
suggest that boy could be king. The
above were actual cases, but they have
given rise to jokes that go little far
Their. For instance, they say that dy.
na1nos are not allowed in Turkey be-.
end that chemistries have been exclud-
ed because the formula for water,
HOO, is suspected Of meaning
"Hamid II. is a cipher.'
[ have had a little experience with
censor myself. At Beyrout, one Of
the Turkish ports, a copy Of the Koran
and a copy Of the life Of Abbas Effen-
di were taken from me by the censor.
I had no objection to his holding them
during my stay in the country, but
when he Informed me that they would
demurred and, with the aid of our rep
resentative, Consul General Bergholz,
not only secured the books, but Sc
cured a promise that the right Of
American citizens to carry books
would not in the future be interfered
with in that port.
+ + !.
In conclusion, I desire to add that
we ought to have an ambassador in
stead Of minister at Constantinople.
According to the custom prevailing in
the sultan's realm, minister is not
on equal footing with ambassadors,
and as other nations have ambassa,
doris there, American interests suffer.
We have eighteen cases now awaiting
adjustment. According to our law, our
appointment of an ambassador to any
country depends upon that country's
WILLINGNESS to send an ambassador tn
us. This is false basis. Our action
should depend not upon what other
nations do, but upon our diplomatic
needs, and we need an ambassador at
Constantinople, whether Turkey needs
! one at Washington Or not. 1 under
stand the question is already being
considered in congress, and from OBJ
servation I am satisfied that the time
has come for the raising Of our lega-
ton to the dignity of an embassy that
American interests and rights Of
American citizens may have proper pro.
lection in Turkey, for nowhere is therg
greater need for the introduction Of
American ideas.

and of the mosque about block away.
When all things were in readiness the
castle gates swung open and the ladies
of the court, closely yelled and ac-
companied by the children, proceeded
to the mosque in closed carriages
drawn by beautiful Arabian horses.
AS usual in oriental countries, the
members of the household were at
tended by black eunuchs.
At the appointed hour black robed
figure appeared on the minarett, and
down the street. This was the signal
for which the spectators had waited,
and all eyes turned at once to the
palace gate, thru which in double line
marched the high officials, preceded
by band and followed by the sultan IS
bodyguard and the sultan himself in q
carriage with his minister of war.
The officers saluted,. the soldiers
cheered, the visitors raised their hats,
and the sultan bowed and smiled. :,
Hamud II is mild in appearance, and
his black beard is but slightly streaked
with gray. He does not look strong,
and his figure seemed diminutive when
contrasted with that of the minister Of
war. His imperial majesty, as he is
styled, remained in the mosque for
nearly an hour. When he at last
came out he entered a phaeton with his
eldest son, and taking the lines him
self, drove back to the palace behind
one of the handsomest teams in Eq-
rope. The horses are a very dark, al
most black, dappled chestnut sorrel,
with silver name and tail. They are
perfectly matched, weigh 1900 or 1,400
pounds, and Sheir shining coats give
evidence of constant care.
We obtained permission to visit the
sukan's, stables, and saw a few, not
all, Of his more than a Thousand
Arabian stations, of which he has
quite number, the best Of the breed.
In one room we saw 100 or more sad
dies and brides, many of them richly
ornamented. In the collection are two
Texas saddles presented by Minister
Terrell when he represented our gov.
eminent in Constantinople.

Before passing from the selamlik, as
the procession is called, it may not be
the ceremonies were interrupted less
than year ago by the explosion of a
bomb close to the line of march. Near
the mosque is a large gate which the
procession passes. Outside Of this gate
a guard is stationed, but carriages were
allowed to line up back OF the guard
On that occasion a new carriage made
it's appearance and secured place Eas
near the gate as was permitted This
carriage, having been expressly built
for, the purpose, had a large bomb con
cealed under the drivers seat. The
man in charge Of the enterprise repre-
sented to the driver that he wanted tc
take photograph Of the procession
just as the sultan passed, and in
structed him to press the button at the
proper time. He did so, and a number
of those near the sultan were killed
but the sultan himself escaped without
injury. Greater precaution is take1
| now than before, but the head of the
