the TURK IN WASHINGTON.
Little Known Of the Genuine Article
In National Capital.

We know 80 little about the real
Turk in this country that II Is diff
ficult to understand from any intimate
enlightenment events that occur be-
meath our very noses. Most OF the
so-called Turks that come here are
only Turkish subjects. Greeks, Ar
menians, Syrians, etc, and not Turks
at all. Tourists who take in Constan-
tinople and chaffer In the bazars with
deceitful tradesmen come home to tell
dreadful stories of the Turk and to
denounce his tricks as vain. The truth
lie that they have not come In contact
with the real Turks at ALL
The sultan has very seldom sent
q real Turk to Washington as his en-
voy. One reason Is that Turks do not
care TO leave home for domestic and
other reasons, and another Is that
he has wished to reward the son or
the dependent of some favorite.
Twenty-Five years ago the Ottoman
minister at the capital was Mavroye1i
Bey. a Greek and the son OF the sui
tan's favorite physician. After some
years the latter fell into disfavOr aud
Mavroyeni was recalled. He had
found much favor with the fair sex,
but had made few friends among his
own sex, certainly not many who were
important and could be of use to him
officially. He was succeeded by
real Turk, All Ferrough Bey, hand
some, sympathetic impulsive young
fellow, who promptly ingratiated him.
self with every one of sporty tenden-
cies and was informed with certain
wisdom and an unquestionable energy.
Ali FerrOugh was in a fair way of get
ting his country much liked and very
seriously considered when, two or
three years later, he was recalled for
promotion, and in his place came a
solemn, silent. unhappy looking gen
tleman who said nothing to anybody
and had a beak like bird OF prey.
. He didn't stay long. Latterly we have
had Mehmed Ali Bey, a son OF lzzet
Pasha, the sultans deposed favorite
not a Turk, but a Syrian. He is
eliminated and now comes Mundji
Bey, apparently Turk, and, like All
Ferrough of pleasant memory, talka'
tive. emotional and essentially light
hearted. At least Washington accepts
him as such because of the resem'
biance. He bids fair to make con
genial and helpful acquaintances, and
if these indications hold out he may
come to be useful.
The fact remains that we know
very little of the real Turk. The peas
ant is always an agriculturist when he
is not a soldier. The gentleman lie
reffned, elegant, exclusive and lux
uriOus-toO much so, perhaps, for the
good of his country. Americans who
stay at home, and of course form com
placent opinions, gather their ideas OF
the Turkish people from the Greeks
Armenians. etc. who come here tC
/ represent the diplomacy and the com
merce of the empire. What Ameri
! cans do not know about the Turk would
| fill a library.

WILL BUILD NEW AIRSHIP
Government to Continue Flying
Machine Experiments.

Washington.-Withu undaunted courage
and unfaltering faith in the ability of
aeroplanes of his design to navigate
safely, Orville Wright, the stricken avia
tor, brushes from his mind thoughts of
the tragic end to his record making
flights at Fort Myer and looks into the
future, when he shall have built and sold
TO the government machine better in
all descriptions than the one that is now
a crumbled mass of muslin, wood and
iron.
He is cheered in this hope by the po-
sition taken by officers of the army and
signal corps that experiments with fly
ing machines will be continued and the
ultimate development of the machine
will be successful.

Out in Burma and the far east
where sandalwood is worth its weight

as the tree grows this valuable heart
is overlaid by soft and worthless lay

Hard Worked and Poorly paid.

Siberia's best-paid clergy get about
5000 year, while the poorer clergy
have often to beg for their bread. They
have great deal to do. There is al
ways service between four and five
in the morning and there are two other
services day. There must be a serv-
ice on the birth of a child and at the
death of anyone in the parish. All
new buildings, schoolhouses, bridges
and boats must be blessed; children
beginning at school term are blessed
and in time of pestilence or peril there
must be continuous prayer.

The best way to extend chayity to
persons who are in need is t. give
them work. Don't give any able
bodied man penny or mouthfuI
unless he works for it. By this the
man retains his self-respect, and
the professor of the tramp is not
encouraged. If man needs help
and is able to work an you are
tempted to give him something,
don't you do it. But instead, give
him work. Otd jobs cal always

do rot advise refusing to relieve

REFORM GAINS HEADWAY.
Progress of the Total Abstinence In
Sweden.

The movement in favor of total alb
stinence is at present making marked
advance throughout the Scandinavian
provinces, and notably in Sweden,
where intemperance had for many
years proved one of the greatest him
ORANGES to national progress. A recent
report of the Good Templar order of
Sweden shows largely increased gains
in the membership of the order and
states that total abstinence sentiment
is spreading rapidly in all parts of the
state. The grand lodge of the order
was instituted in 1880, and has now
2,S72 subordinate societies, with a
total membership of 19O,675 enrolled
as active supporters of the total alb
stinence cause. The grand lodge car
ries on organized educational work,
having numerous courses of study, lee
ture bureaus and study circles, which
are largely instrumental in promoting
the interests of temperance. A progress
sive temperance publication issued by
the order has been greatly successful
In shaping temperance sentiment and
in furthering the cause of temperance
reform in that country.
