The Sultan Forced to Economl.e.

The American Board has received a
dispatch from Constantinople, from one
OF its experienced representatives there.
speaking in enthusiastic terms Of the
way In which the new Turk party is
handling the situation. The corre-
spondent says: Economy is the watch
word of the hour. 1t Is commonly re-
ported that out Of $50 Aids-de-Camp
who were personal attendants upon the
Sultan only 80 remain. Out Of 500 cooks
in his palace all but II have been dis
missed. His stud farm has been broken
up and the horses turned over to the
army. His private theater. within the
precincts Of his palace, has been closed,
and three clowns, who received each
100 Turkish pounds month. have been
dismissed. Some 80 mansions and pal
aces in and about Constantinople and
various estates thruout the provinces,
whose revenues went directly to the
Sultan. have been given up to the state.
The League of Union and Progress, the
most influential unofficial body in the
Empire, and representing the party in
power, is sending agents-civil, military
and religious-thruout the provinces to
enlighten the public mind on the situa-
ton and to call for fullest co-opera-
tion.'
leges end schools in the Empire are filled

and religions are coming without fear
to such an extent that the capacities
of these schools are wholly inadequate
to receive all who apply, there being
neither room for the pupils nor teachers
to teach them.

say that the situation Is wholly unpre-
cedented in the history Of its mission

Mrs. Alice ]. Pedro, Troy, N. Y, saws
that she was little girl in Cincinnati
during the war. and she remembers
many things: when the troops marched
away from Cincinnati In grand array,
and then a boatload OF wounded SOL
diers being brought back. She heard
much OF Kirby Smith, who came with
in six miles of the city, and they could
hear the artillery. All the women had
TO remain at home while the men went
out to work and fight. She remembers
also that they sent the fire department
horses out to draw the artillery, but
the Confederates captured them, and
sent word in for more Of the same
kind. She wants to know anything of
the history of this movement.
In September. 1862. Gen. Bragg
fianked the Army of the Ohio back to
Louisville. and simultaneously Gen.
Kirby Smith advanced from East Ten
nessee directly upon Cincinnati, defeat
ing our troops at Richmond. KY. He
reached to within a few miles of the
Ohio River at Cincinnati. and threw
the city into great alarm. The men of
Ohio rushed to the city to defend It.
These were the Squirrel Hunters" The
Army Of the Ohio turned upon Bragg,
who retreated. calling Kirby Smith to

all entitled to one. No matter whether
