 The charge against Katie was pre- ferfed by George Tarver, a blind ne- gro. The negro George said sold him the watch was unable to identify the watch in question.

DISSATISFACTION SHOWN. Prestige of Sultan of Turkey is h


 Vienna. Sept. 5.-Consular reports received from Turkey state that not only in single districts of Macedonia and in other Greek quarters. but also at constantinople itself especially among the bureaucrats, who receive the interference of the Young Turk ey Committee very. unwillingly, signs of dissatisfaction are beginning to show themselves.
 The members of this committee have made certain mistakes which, now that the first enthusiasm for the constitu- ton has subsided, are peIng remark ed and criticized.
 These. signs of disapprobation need not be too seriously taken. It must be acknowledged that for the further development of affairs after so amaz- ing a revolution, the administration is not sufficiently united or organized, but on the other hand 1t has hitherto acted successfully as controller and guardian of public order.
 It must also be remarked that the prestige and influence of the Sultan are on the increase. as was shown at the burial of the late War Minister. Marshal RedJeb Pasha, when the wish es of the Sultan over-ruled those of the entire opposition. especially re- garding the burial place, the payment of the cost of the interment by the Sultan himself and not at the expense of the War Ministry. and finally the omission of a military escort on the European pattern.
 Great indignation was caused throughout the army in regard to the sultan's action. The army had deter mined that the funeral should be as imposing a military affair as possible. and provided a gun carriage to bear the body, instead of having the cof- fin carried in Turkish style on the mems shoulders.
 The Sultan. just before the funeral. sent three officers to stir up the Ule- mas, stating that the army was try ing to convert the people to Chrts- tianity. The Ulemas got so excited that to avoid disturbance. the gun carriage was not used. Two aides-ds- camp were captured.
 This is considered further prooi of the Sultan's want of sincerity. ana of his desire to create dificultieN.
 The army requires little provoeation to proceed to extreme measures, ike deposition. although that might result in disastrous complications.
 The Sultan's policy is not clear He might now enjoy a life of ease. ana be free from care and responsibility, whereas any disturbance he could pro woke could only irritate the people, and bv no possible stretch of the imagina- tion restore the old regime.

In word this great student and great son of Ala barna IS good company. He loves novels as a relief from the tension ot his work, in which he strongly resem- bles James Watt. the inventor of the steam engine. He loves. travel, and has travelled widely--through books His hand rested affectionately 0n a row of books in his library and he said: "There are the records of my Af- rican journeys" He feels as if he could give pointers to President Roosevelt in his proposed journey into the wiids for Professor Smith has been over the ground already--in books. He loves Scott, Dickens and Dumas. Dickens he has read and re-read. Everything that Dumas ever wrote he has read and then wanted more. He loves and honors Burns and has special corner for all that he could gather regarding as he said with a smile, he loves too well; for he could not. from pro- fessional income, |gratify all his de- sires in such direction
 Such a methodical man as he would leave nothing to chance. He has al. ready looked forward to the time whom he can serve the State no more. and he is working out gradual transition of authority so that when his labor of love for the State is laid down 1t may be immediately taken up and car- rted on by younger hands well trained in advance to an understanding of the great task that Professor Smith would have loved to complete. His patience in work. his unswerving de- votion to an ideal. his willingness to spend years in proving a point Is the true science and therefore the true life. for what is Science but to fathom the Divine. and the faintest true in- depreciation of the Divine makes the obscurest task worth doing.
