THE LINGERING SICK MAN.

"The most successful totterer of his time" has at last tottered to his fall. Abdul Hamid is no longer sul- tan of Turkey. He is no longer Lord of Lords, Invincible and Victo- rious, Dominant Sovereign in Arabia, Persia and Greece; Distributor of Crowns to the Great Princes of the Earth; Sovereign Master of the Two Seas and the Adjacent Countries; Protector of the August Cities of Mecca and Medina, and of Endless Isles and Peoples; Shadow of God; Refuge of the World; Slayer of In fidels'' or any of those other things which the rich imagery of the east could suggest. At half past two o'clock yesterday Abdul Hamid was stripped of all and at the same time deprived of the liberty of a private citizen
 There will doubtless bs allusions by luc pdIdSIdpuSIS lO lIic uedln Ol lIle Sick Man. But the Sick Man is not dead. He was not Abdul Hamid, the sultan, and he will not be dead so long as the waves of modern civ ilization merely beat up futilely on all sides against him; not until they roll over and submerge him.
 It may be that death is approach ing in the reforms which were insti- tuted last summer and which the lat est revolution has reinstated. Turkey may reform within itself and drive out Moslemism. Then the Sick Man will be dead and Turkey will sur Vive.
 Finally the powers may at last dis pense with the buffer. then also the Sick Man will die.

SIDEWALKS AND REAL ESTATE
 VALUES.

VALUES.
 It may not have occurred to all property owners but it is neverthe- less a fact that this sidewalk build ing which for the last three months has been going on rapidly will cause a shifting of values of real estate.
 In some of the residential districts property at certain distance from the business center of the town has been held at a much higher figure than property in other districts Gt the same distance and naturally. equally situated. The only reason why it was so was that the higher property had been settled a little earlier and had been ripened into a certain degree of exclusIveness. The buildings as a matter of course were better but there was a dead level of condition in all sections-an ab- sence of sidewalks-a condition which in the rainy season has driven many an intending purchaser out of town.
 But the purchaser will have no trouble in finding sidewalks in the next rainy season. They have been extended for thousands of feet on many streets and there will be thous- ands more by the next winter months.
 Then the intending purchaser hay ing been provided with some place to light" without getting into the mud will choose a sidewalk district in a short time it will become ex- elusive and high priced.
 Thus it is plain that there can be no investment more productive of

attributed to him, and. 1t is believed,

s,racted by McClelland. It Is unnec-

Kansas and disposed OF there and
just how extensibe his robberies have

McCleiland's ranch on Currant Creek
is also thought to be the hiding place
OF good deal OF the stolen plunder
and an investigation is being made
with the expectation OF unearthing
lot OF hidden treasure. That some Of
his ill-gotten goods were cached"
at the ranch Is n matter of abso-
Lutte knowledge. but how much. of

II McClelland could be criminally

That punishment awaits him for his
