WEDNESDAY, APRIL % 1909

til he granted a constitution to the
country last autumn, and virtually one
since, he has been credited by students
Of modern European politics with
cruelty, industry and sagacity beyond
any other European ruler of his time
He is now in his sixty-seventh year
having been born Sept %, 1912.
Ascending the throne on the eve OF
Russia's attempt to push forward her
empire to Constantinople, he was in
volved in war with that nation in
1877 Turkish arms met with disaster
in that struggle and by the treaty OF
Berlin the sultan was compelled to
abandon rule over a great part Of his
realm in Europe and parts of his AS
iatic domain.
The failure of Turkey to protect
christians against murder by Turks
ostensibly at least, brought on this
war; and the further failure to guard
against massacres, notably in Armenia
made the christian world hotly indig-
nant against Abdul Hamid. Indigna-
ton, however, was Of little avail. Craft
lily the sultan played one jealous ma
ton against another, and until the re-
volt of Bulgaria last year the treaty
of Berlin remained in unimpaired eff
feet.
Abdul Hamid was accused of having
deposed his brother, Murad ", when
he ascended the throne. The deposit
tion was on the ground of Murad's
insanity. It is certain that Abdul
Hamid has kept in luxurious but rigid
confinement his brother Mehemmed
Reschad Effendi, just elevated to the
throne. He is accused Of having fol-
lowed this same policy with other
members of his family and an atmos-
phere of intrigue, suspicion, espionage,
plot and counterplot has surrounded
the Ottoman capital since the access
sion of Abdul Hamid. With any other
ruler under the old regime, however,
similar policy probably would have
been followed. The ways Of Turkish
rulers are the ways of European rulers
in the middle ages, with an admixture
of Asiatic craft.
Son of Armenian Slave.
Abdul Hamid is tall, slender and
stopped. His hooked nose has been
made famous by the cartoonists and
gives him the appearance of bird of
prey. He is said to be a sufferer from
tuberculosis and host of inherited
maladies. His youthful appearance is
ascribed to the use of dye for his hair
and beard. 1t is said that his mother
was an Armenian slave girl. This
counted for nothing against his sue
cession to the throne, for by Turkish
law the eldest male representative of
the reigning house succeeds to the
throne, whether born of slave or a
free woman in the imperial harem.
No one familiar with him has ac-
cused the deposed sultan of Incidence.
He is said to have worked fourteen
to eighteen hours day on matters of
state. Anxious to give good impress
sion to the outside world, he has shown
many courtesies to visitors to Con-
stantinople and understands to per-
lection the arts of winning favor.

DECIDE ON 2la CENT RATE.
Several Other Railroads Follow Bur-
Iinqton's Lead. in Missouri,

several OCner ndllFod0S oIloW BUR-
Iington's Lead. in Missouri.
Chicago, April 28.-A maximum rate
of 2h cents a mile in Missouri will go
into effect May on the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad and several
other roads, according to decision
reached here today at a meeting of the
executive committee Of the Missouri
railroads.
The roads which are tied up in the
Missouri courts, in the injunction
brought by Circuit Attorney Jones in
ST. Louis, to restrain them from adopt
ing a 3-cent a mile passenger rate,
sought to induce the Burlington Off
cials to wait until all the roads could
start together in the 21a cent rate, but
the Burlington officials would not
agree to this.
It is expected by the railroad men
that the litigation will be disposed of
early in May and that before the end
Of the month all of the roads trayers-
ing the state will follow the Burling-
toms lead.

FROM PRISON TO THRONE.
Reschad Effendi Held Captive. b,
Brother for Years.

Mehemmed Reschad Effendi or Mel-
med ", as he will call himself, the
new sultan Of Turkey, is two years
younger than his brother Abdul Ha-
mid, the deposed ruler, he being now
"a years Of age.
Reschad Effendi is the thirty-fourth
ruler, in male descent, of the house of
Othman, the founder of the empire.
and the twenty-ninth since the capture
Of Constantinople by the Turks in 1853.
With no experience in governing, he
has been practically a prisoner for
twenty-five years in the Yildiz Kiosk,
and is hardly known to the1world. It is
said that he is weak and probably
will do anything demanded of him by
the young Turk leaders.
A person in London we'll acquainted
with him gives the following pen por-
trait Of the new sultan:
"He Is tall and we'll proportioned,
but inclined to stoop. His features are
regular, but he has a hooked nose like
that Of Abdul Hamid. His eyes are
blue and his hair and beard are light
red. His manners are very gracious and
easy, and he is exceedingly generous
and kind. He is not at all fanatical,
but Is sincerely religious. He plays
unusually well on the piano and is a
great admirer Of classical music.
Like the deposed sultan, the new
ruler Of Turkey is a good draughtsman
and he sketches we'll. He has two
wives and several children, three of
whom are boys. His wives are both
highly educated and are the daughters
OF distinguished pashas. They dress at
home In the French fashion.
Lacks Real Experience.
x *.After the revolution Of July, 1908, he
received a measure of freedom and
was sometimes seen driving about the
streets Of Constantinople in q closed
carriage. 1t is said that he has been
something Of a student and Is well
educated in Turkish literature, but has
had no practical experience in gov
eminent or diplomacy. He speaks no
foreign language.
During his long Imprisonment he
was always closely watched by guards
and spies and as a result Of his con-
fined life he is very weak physically.
He has four children, the Princes
Zia-Eddine Effendi, born inasA 1877;
Ned3n1 Effendi, born in 1881; iEumef-
Hilmi Effendi, born on Feb. 18, 1883,
and the Princes Refia, born in 1877.
"Reschad has held an honorary title
OF general in the Turkish army, but
has never been in any way connected
with practical affairs.
Next In succession Is Yussef 1zz-
edine Effendi, son Of the Sultan Alb.
4 dull Aziz. who was dethroned on May
3 80, 1876. Yussef was born In Constan-
tinople on Oct. 9, 1857, and is a strong
er and more able man than Reschad
having had the advantage Of a French
education and some practical expert
ence In affairs"

sermon on prayer, perhaps tho
greatest In many respects OF any of the
series so far. was delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Sunday n. the tabernacle Tuesday
night before an audience of $500 peo.
pie from every walk OF life. 1t was also
the longest sermon he has delivered.
The evangelist spoke for an hour and
twenty minutes. but no one In the big
ness. In the afternoon Mr.. Sunday was
greeted with an audience of 400.
Taking the reconciliation of Jacob
and his brother Esau, which was
brought about by the conversion of
Jacob thru prayer as his theme the
baseball evangelist hammered tho
truths of getting close to God by ap-
pealing to him in prayer as he has not
done before to a local audience.
Audience Laughs and Applauds.
Sunday Is surely an apostle OF tha
sunshine of religion. There Is no place
in his righteousness for pessimism and
gloom. He breaches the faith of Jesus
Christ with smile. and smites the
long-faced pious one with singing
words.
The evangelist appeared In one OF
his sunnest moods, and time after
time he kept his audience in uproarious
laughter with his funny sayings, im-
personations, and slang expressions.
And when his congregation laughed he
would laugh with them seeming to
enjoy the fun as much as any OF them.
When he delivered especially telling
blows az he did frequently. the
audience broke into tremendous ap.
plause.
Butler Sings Great Solo.
One of the features of the Tuesday
night service was the solo. NO Night
There" sung by Mr. Butler. A great
silence fell over the audience as the
touching strains OF the song fell from
the singers lips.
MIR. Fischer had practically fun
choir to work with, and for twenty
! minutes before Mr.. Sunday began to
speak the singers and the congrega-
tion. Mr.. Ackley and the orchestra,
kept the song service going. They
sang, Il VIII Sing the WondrouD
Story" Shall We Gather at the
River?." Only a Sinner Saved by
Grace" Nearer My God to Thee" and
"Al Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
breaches on Story of Jacob.
The story of Jacob and his convers
sion and his reconciliation with his
brother Esau. as found In Genesis 80,
| was the text taken by AIR. Sunday.
The sermon was in part as follows:l
"The history OF Jacob is largely the
| history of the Jews. His life was in
many ways like the lives of people OF
this day He had cheated his brother
and deceived his father and had been
forced 10 flee. For twenty years he
had been a wanderer and now he iS
| returning to the scenes of his youth.
"Esau heard he was coming and
prepared himself for vengeance Jacob,
remembering how he had robbed Esau.
made plans to appease Esau before he
should meet him. We have scores OF
people who, by going to church once
in while. or by coming to the taber-
nacle TO please their wives. are trying
to appease God. But you can't do It.
Hits Eleventh Hour Prayers.
