Value OF His Historical Knowledge.

While at Constantinople during his
second period of service there Mr..
Straus found opportunity to make ex-
cellent use Of his historical knowledge.
Probably not one American in mil
lion Is aware that in a certain treaty
between President Washington and the
hey Of Tr.poli there Is a declaration
that the United States government does
not recognize any one particular form
Of religion above another. Minister
Straus knew Of this paragraph. When
affairs in the Philippines became trou-
blesome and 1t was very desirable to
have the large Mohammedan popula-
ton of the islands on our side Minis
ter Straus went to the sultan Of Tur-
key, whom the adherents to that faith
recognize us their high priest, and re-
quested that his imperial majesty use
his influence with the Mohammedans
in favor of the United States.
"But will not your country take away
the religion of these people and compel
them to worship according to your
laws" inquired the sultan.
Mr. Stralls at once produced the for
eign treaty., proving to Abdul Hamid
that religious liberty, freedom Of wor-
ship, is one of the cornerstones of the
American republic. The sultan passed
word to powerful representative Of
Syohammed's followers in the archi.
pelago and made millions Of them
friendly to the United States. Thus a
knowledge of history down to the tap
roots, plus diplomacy, probably saved
the lives Of many American soldiers,
many Moro fanatics and much ammu.
milton.
Not only President Harrison wanted
this American Jew to continue his
work at Constantinople, but Christian
preachers Of various denominations
joined in tho request. When President
Cleveland sent Mr.. Straus to Turkey
the minister found that more than if
ty Of the missionary schools establish
ed by american Christians in, the sui
tan's domains had been closed by or
der Of provincial officials, and the life
Of all the ESQ missions and schools was
threatened Mr. Stratus procured from
the grand vizier, who corresponds to
our secretary Of state, an order for
the reopenlng Of these schools and the
protection Of the others. Thus for the
first time American missionaries in
Turkey had legal status, which still
obtains. Mr.. Straus also obtained for
the American Bible society official
sanction for the distribution Of Bible
tracts printed in the Turkish tongue.

~ SCAR SOLOMON STRAUS, who
is to be secretary of commerce
and labor, is the first Jew ever
honored by president of the
United States with an invitation to sit
in the cabinet Mr.. Straus, however,
has been highly honored before by Mr..
Roosevelt and by three other presi-
dents. When he was only thirty-six
years Of age in 1887, President Cleve-
land appointed him minister to Tur-
key Mr.. Straus was an active Dem
ocrat, but nevertheless President Har-
rlson requested him to remain at Con-
stantinople. Large business interests
at home demanded his attention, and
he retired. In 1897 President McKin-
ley prevailed upon Mr.. Straus to go
once more as minister to Turkey. In
1902 President Roosevelt appointed
him to the vacancy In the permanent
court Of arbitration at The Hague,
caused by the death Of ex-President
Harrison.
Mr.. Straus never ran for an Office in
his life. Though always taking live
ly interest in politics, he never has
been politician he Is political SCI
enlist rather than politician. The
science Of politics and government has
deeply interested him from his youth.
He is a student and much more--a
scholar, savant. Though as secre-
tary Of commerce and labor he will be
at the foot Of the cabinet list, as the
portfolios are reckoned in their order
Of precedence, Mr.. Straus probably
will be the most highly cultured and
the most learned man in the presidents

GIRL in BIG GEAFT.
Tries to Bleed Millionaire cupples Of
$4,000.

st. Louis. Nov. 2.-The arrest of a
pretty 1S-year-old girl who gives her
name as Miss Mathilda Scudder and
Louis E. and Joseph H. Press of 1881
Hartford street has disclosed the re-
markable effort OF the girl to obtain
100000 from Samuel Supplies, mill
lionaire and philanthropist, thru her
claim of relationship to him, which the
Cupples and the well-known Scud Ter
families brand as utterly false and
without motive other than to get mon
ey from Mr.. Cupples, who is now de-
clining in years and health.
After being in a cell all night the
girl confessed that she lad concoated
the story and duped her lover. The
basis of Miss Scudder's story of re-
lationship was that she was the daug,-
ter of the late Harvey G. Scudder. She
says he was a brother of William II.
Scudder, who was related. to the Cup
pies family. No such person as Far
vey G. Scudder was ever known in st.
derventer place, who is a brother of the
late William H. Scudder, says that he
had no brother named Harvey
A remarkable feature Of the girls
scheme was the ordering of 100 we'd
ding invitations from a local jewelry
house. She reported to the salespeople
that she was niece of Samuel Cup
Piles, and ordered the very finest en-
graved invitations, agreeing to pay
$35 for them. Miss Scudder telephoned
the jewelry company Wednesday to
hold up the order for further instruc-
tons as the date Of the wedding had
been changed.
The arrest Of the girl was the result
of complaint made to the police by
Mrs. William H. Scudder, who is re-
lated to Mr.. Cupples and who lives in
the Cupples mansion, 1878 West Pine
boulevard. She told the police that
Joseph H. and Louis e. Press and Miss
Scudder had been annoying Mr.. Cup
pies. She requested that an officer be
sent to the house to arrest any one of
the three who appeared in the neigh
borhood.

Miss Scudder yesterday afternoon
confessed that while engaged as house
hold servant she fell in love with Press
and in order to win him represented
herself as relative of Mr. Cupples.
She declared she had no intention OF
trying to blackmail Mr. Cupples or his
family and that her far ce and his

Seems Never to Have Played.
From his boyhood Mr.. Straus seems
to have been a prodigiously busy man.
Many Americans who rise to high place
find plenty Of time to loaf around and
tell stories-Abraham Lincoln, for In.
stance. Though by no means an aus
tere ascetic, Oscar Straus seems never
to have played. On the other hand,
he has not had time to stand on the
housetops, point to himself and tell
other men how to succeed. He got
right down to business very early In his
career and stuck there. That he has
been called out from time to time to
undertake an important service for his
country is due to the fact that the Off
cial watchers on the towers have dis
covered his capabilities.
Henry Ward Beecher was one Of the
first prominent men. to see something
in Straus. The great preacher wrote
to President Cleveland, urging the ap.
pointment of Mr.. Stratus as minister to
Turkey, and In that letter he made
this declarations:
cit is because he is Jew that I
would urge his appointment as a fit
recognition Of this remarkable people,
who are becoming large contributors
to American prosperity, and whose In
telligence, morality and large liberality
IN all public measures for the welfare
Of society deserve and should receive
from the hands Of our government
some such recognition"
A year or two before the date of that
letter book from the pen Of Mr..
Straus had attracted attention. 1t was
called "The Origin Of the Republican
Form Of Government In the United
States" No doubt Mr.. Beecher had
read it. When young straus got across
the water he found it translated into
French by distinguished scholar and
used as a work Of reference in the va
rious continental countries. That book
showed the trend Of the Stratus mind
It was toward history. He went after
the foundations of things, so that be
could understand.
