lieve it was over love affair in Louis

the chum of the suicide that the lat |
ter had been very much worried over
the receipt of letter from a young |
wamon's father at Louisville, KY, to
the effect that the father threatened
to have Boldt brought back to Louis
Vile. Since this letter arrived Boldt
has been worried and very respondent.
He enlisted last July and was doing
excellently in the Hospital Corps, be-
Ing a general favorite at the station,
where he showed general aptitude.
The body Is at the Newport Naval
Hospital awaiting instructions from

PARLIAMENT OF
TURKEY OPENED
SULTAN MAKES AN ADDRESS
CLAIMING ALL CREDIT FOR
THE EVENT.
NEW EPOCH IN WORLDS HISTORY
Brilliant Costumes And Mixture Of
The Ancient And Modern Lends
Variety To Scene.

CONSTANTINoPLE, Dec. 17.-Af
ter an interval Of thirty-two years
Turkey today entered upon a second
attempt at constitutional government
with the Inauguration in CONSTANT
nople Of the new Parliament elected
under the constitution promulgated by
the Sultan in July Of this year.
The Sultan opened Parliament in
person with elaborate ceremony fash
Toned after the customs Of older sim
ilar assemblies. The new Legislature
met In the same chamber where the
short-lived Parliament Of 1876 assem-
bled-a moderate sized nall In a build
ing facing the square of ST. Sofia. The
scene was perhaps one Of the most
remarkable in the present history OF
the world. All the creeds and races
of the Turkish Empire sent their duly
elected representatives and the varied
costumes of the delegates, some in
flowing silk robes and others in the
fashionable frock coat, formed a gor-
geous and multi-colored picture never
before witnessed in a legislative gath
ering in Europe. Albanians, Syrians |
and Arabs were among the MosIem |
representatives, while Greeks, Armen-
fans and Bulgarians represented the |
Christian nationalities Members from
Jerusalem and Mecca rubbed shout
ders with their colleagues from the
European provinces and the far-off /
Kurdish, Armenian and Arab districts
on the confines of the Indian Ocean.
So far as can be judged from surf
ace indications the new Parliament
has entered upon its duties with
united determination to carry out sue
cessfully the aims of the bloodless
revolution which made possible the
of constitutional reg.
line in Turkey.
Upon his arrival at the Parliament
tary chamber, the Sultan, accompan-
lNN w a ~ iliioht iuCIuuluS Ola
Imperial Princes, entered the Imperial
box the deputies rising In his honor.
Chancellor Ali Bjevad Bey then read
he speech from the throne, during
which the entire assemblage stood.
The address follows:
when ] first proclaimed constitu-
ion, thirty.two years ago, there were
many difficulties in the way of its b
Xecution and / was advised to sus- p
end it, momentarily In the interval II

FOR A BIG FAMILY.
Twirling Tray Does Much to Expedite
 Table Service.

There is a novelty extremely smart as we'll as sensible, that solves a problem of many housekeeper, both those with plenty of servants and those with none. This is a twirling tray to expedite table service.
 To have the meals of large family daintily, even comfortably. served re- Quires skilled waitress. Even so there are apt to be long waits or showing.
 The English fashion of being more informal for breakfast and luncheon than for dinner, is gaining headway with us. While the side-table serv- ice, with each one helping his or her. self, has by no means become gen. eral, 1t is being more and more adopted, especially in country homes.
 A convenient substitute is found in one of these trays. They are made to match the table. either mahogany or oak, and are about 24 inches in diameter, though they can be made has a rim and rests on a standard on which it slides easily.
 The twirler is placed in the center of the table, in reach of all, and on it are placed. butter preserves, bread and rolls, the molasses pitcher, and such relishes as radishes, celery, or cheese. As these are the things that are in constant demand, and keep the waitress busy, it Is great time saver to have them reached by simply twirl of the tray.
 Ugly? Not all all; rather un. usual looking at first, but the tray can be made very dainty with its snowy embroidered cover, vase of flowers in the center, and the other dishes en circling it.
 1T one cares to go to the expense there are sectional dishes made that just fit these trays. They are shallow ana rimmed. and have a circular dish in the center. with six or eight tri angular dishes radiating from it tc form an outer circle.
 When the family is extra large two trays are used, one at each end of the table.
 While these trays are only consid cred the. thing" for breakfast ant luncheon, and are generally used or the bare table; when there is no mait they can be used as convenience die tates.

Interesting Decision.

Little Rock, Sept. 21.-The Supreme Court this morning decided an interesting case ap- pealed from Yell Circuit Court under the style of Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Go. vs. A. J. Simpson as next friend of Charley Simpson, a minor, and involving the question of damages for injuries received by falling from the rear vestibule of the last coach on a Rock Is- land train out of Hot Springs, several months ago. The Cir cult court gave young Simpson $700 damages, but the Supreme Court reversed the case and re- manded it for new hearing.
 It was set up in the evidence that Charley Simpson was re turning from Hot Springs on a Rock Island train and that he fell from the vestibule, the door having been left open after leav- ing Hot Springs. The evidence showed that he was on the rear vestibule of the last coach and that there was plenty of room in the coach for additional pas S engers. The lower court in structed the jury that the rail roads are responsible for the closing of all doors of vestibules on all coaches after leaving sta tions, and upon this instruction largely the verdict against the company was returned.
 The Supreme Court, Judge Wood speaking, holds that vesti- bules are for the protection of passengers in passing between coaches, and that in such cases the public is entitled to expect safety; but that in the present case the vestibule was on the Tear of the last coach and that the passengers had no right to expect that doors would be clos ed for protection for passing be- tween coaches, as there was no coach following. Hence the in struction given by the judge GOV. ering the case in a blanket way was held to be in error and the case was remanded for a new trial.
