with 35.S per cent of the area and 1876

for the district in 1904 was $970,974,-

Love and Lynching in Turkey.

Although the lynching of Fehim Pasha

caused immense satisfaction to the Young
Turkey party on account of his nOtori-
Gus conduct, he was by no means an ex-
ception; there are more pashas at pres
ent of the same low caliber of morality.
If 1 remember the date Alright it was
during the summer months of 1885 when
the steward of Robert College was as
sassinated. Robert College, an American
institution, is the premier establishment
of its kind in Constantinople. and stands
on the heights of Rumeli-Hissar, on the
Bosphorus. This steward, an Armenian.
had two daughters, one of whom was of
surprising beauty. The son of a pasha
living in the imm mediate vicinity of the
college began to pay attention to this
girl, but all his overtures We're rejected.
The consequence was that her father was
so much harassed and threatened that he
conceived the idea Of sending his daugh-
ter to America. This was done in such
an able manner that the pashaZade q. e..

did not learn of her departure until II
was too late. Then he SWore vengeance
against the girls father, and one fine
morning the poor stewards body. hor-
ribly mHtilated was found about halt
a mile from the main entrance to the col
lege. The police We're Informed and ar
rived in surprisingly good time. They
surrounded the college, and after idling
about for three or four hours went back
to the barracks. Naturally, the murderer
was not discovered although every body
knew the hand that had inspired the

are still there, though, of course. new
ones have been necessarily added as new

possession of those occupied by famous
men of the past have been frequent, that

Though the flesh and juice of the aba

dies, candlesticks and various souvenirs
are made of the beautiful iridescent ma

There is no reason for fearing that the
