OLD GUARD REORGANIZED
BY SULTAN OF TURKEY
Famous Regiment Composed of
Christian Slaves

Acting upon instructions issued by
command of the sultan measures are
being taken by the Turkish war min
lister to re-establish the once famous
regiment known as the Janizary says
the London Globe. The regiment, orig
inally composed entirely of Christian
slaves, chosen for their physica
strength and prowess with arms, held
a t one time unique position in the
Turkish army, and eventually gained
such remarkable political power that
the dethroning of a sultan was the di-
rect outcome of their endeavors. In
1926 Sultan Mahmoud H. finding the
regiment had become a serious menace
to the safety of the dynasty, decided
that the corps should be disbanded, but
this decision was only carried into eff
feet after a sanguine and long drawn
out conflict. The january. which is
now being re-established after lapse
of 80 years, will be a regiment of~foot
guards forming bodyguard for the
sultan, but no special privileges will be
permitted to. the corps

AUSTRALIAN TO DESIGN
THE NEW BRITISH COINS
Head of King George to Be
Turned to Left

Bertrand Mackennal. A. r. A. the
Australian sculptor, has been appointed
TO design and model the coronation
medal and the new coinage. The naval
military and civil service medals or the
new reign are also to be designed py
Mackennal
1t is understood that tho reverse side
of the coinage of the new reign viii
remain unchanged, and although there
have been suggestions in some quar-
ters that the lighthouse and the snip,
which appeared on the earlier pennies
of Queen Victoria's reign, should De
restored it does not appear that any
variation of such a character is at pres
ent contemplated.
At any rate the commission that has
been given to Mackennal concerns only,
ii is understood, the diverse side or the
coinage: in other words, the face OF
the coins with the kings head and the
inscription. Ii MackennaPs past work
is any criterion, and certainly 1t should
be, a clear, sharp and living portrait OF
King George will be found on the new
coins, the head being turned TO the lett
again. as in Queen Victorias reign.
The designs and models will occupy, it
is thought, some considerable time, and
it is improbable, therefore, that the
new coinage will be ready for circula-
tion before the coronation next June.
The exceedingly successful work that
Mackennal has already done in design
ing and modelling medals has no doubt
led to his present appointment. At
was he ii will be remembered, who de-
signed the medals that were presented
to the victors in the Olympic games
medals that contained those beautiful
designs of the victory of st. George, OF
the crowning of the athlete, of the 1g-
ure of Victory. and of the chariot bear
ing the victor into the city. 1t was he,
too. who was chosen to design the med
al of the Royal Photographic society,
and the Lawrence medal illustrating
the culture of the rose, progress and
cultural society.
1t is of interest, too. when we re-
member the kings deep concern in the
colonies-the concern of one who has
seen and knows-to note that Mack
ennal is a colonial. the first who was
ever elected an associate of the Royal
academy and the first who was ever
commissioned to design a coinage.
Mackennal. who was born in Mel
bourne in 1863. has lived in England for
some time. He was elected an associ-
ate of the Royal academy last year

sold as waste and three high officials
of the Mont de Piete accompany the

Backing of Ell VesperO Par
lOr in Contest

Among the most progressive of the
new candidates for the honor of the
throne of California during the coming
Admission day 1910 festival. Septem-
ber s. 9 and 10. is Miss Lille Peterson,
the third vice president of FL Vespero
parlor No. 11S, Native Daughters of the
Golden West. Her friends see no OBJ
stacle in her path to the throne of
Queen California, that monarch who
is to reign over the three days fun
and revelry during the anniversary of
the admission of California to state
hood.
Mrs. John H. Boege. a past president
and present recording secretary of the
same parlor, is the manager of the
fair contestants campaign.
Miss Peterson is unusually tall and
stately, pure blonde with the bluest
of blue eyes and a splendid complexion.
She is a prime favorite. and several
parlors of the Native Sons are taking
an active interest In her campaign.
Mrs. Boege, the campaign manager
has devised many novel campaign
schemes, which she declares will be
vote pullers.
Among the many candidates so far
entered there is a wide difference in
physical appearance. There are tall
and slender girls, statuesque girls, girls
of curves and dimples. petite girls,
grave, accomplished girls. and laughing.
vivacious, breezy Californiennes. The
colorings range from fairest of the fair
to the deep, ruddy brunettes, which
speak of southern climes and the dark
haired races. All are Native Daugh-
ters now and all hope to be the proud
defender of the bear flag. the mistress
of California for three golden, glorious
days.
There will be a large general ballot
box placed in the Emporium in few
days. in which voters may cast ballots
for any candidate they desire by pur-
chasing coupons and placing them In
scaled and addressed envelopes before
depositing. This will be a great con-
venience for friends of candidates who
wish to, assist in the campaign, but
who have not the leisure time to jour
ney to the locality where the personal
ballot box of the candidate is placed.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
the candidates for queen and their man
ayers will meet al the Palace hotel to
discuss the progress of the contest and
to introduce candidates who have en-
tered the race since the meeting last
week

Miss Haldane shares with her brother
strong sense of humor. Her best
stories according to NJ A p. are
about her own countrymen and smack
OF the soil. Speaking once to an au-
dience of women she told an amusing
story of Perthshire farmer, who, on
his way home from market one day.
suddenly remembered that he had for
gotten something. but what he could
not recall. AS he neared home the
he stopped his horse and went carefully
through his pocketbook in the vain en-
deavor to discover what he had missed.
In due course he reached home and was
met by his daughter, who looked at him
in surprise and asked: Why. father,
what have you done with mother?"
