Everything Was Literally Backward at
Odd Affair.
A "Bellamy" dance was given at the
Bellfield club in Pittsburg the other
night, attended by several hundred
fashionable young peoplI. Everything
was literally backward.
The dancing began with the home
waltz and ended with the grand
march. The room was arranged with
large mirrors, and on the back of each
person attending was a tag written
backward, giving the name of his or
her partner for dinner. The dining
room was arranged so that the supper
was served on C; airs, while the guests
sat on the tables. The menu was
printed backward and began with cot
fee and ended with soup. The walters
wore their coats buttoned up the back
They wore false faces on the backs of
their heads and served the courses
walking backward.

John O'Ncal. engineer on the South
ern railway, while hunting in a dense
forest a few miles south of Manassas,
Va, the other day, found a petrifed
dog in the forks Of a tree near the

dog in springing for prey was caught

where it will be placed on exhibition.
Many offers have been made for the

SULTAN'S MONEY.
Turkish Government Tries to Recover
Large Sum From Reichs Bank.

Leipsic. Dec. THE suit instituted by
representatives of the Turkish govern
ment against the Reichs bank to com
pei that institution to surrender 81
100000 which it has on deposit to the
credit of the deposed sultan, Abdul
Hamid, came before the imperial su-
preme court today.
When Abdul Hamid intrusted his per-,
sonal fortune to the Reichs bank, he
exacted a solemn agreement that the
funds should not be withdrawn except
on presentation of an order under his
hand and seal. After he was driven
from the throne the new government
attempted to recover these funds and
laid before the bankers what purport-
ed to be letter from the deposed sui
tan authorizing their withdrawal. The
order, however, did not bear the secret
seal agreed upon and the bank which
TOOK the further ground that their Gus
toner being practically a prisoner, was
unable to act of his own free will, re-
FUSED to surrender the money. Suit was
then brought against the bank in the
name of the former sultan in the pro-
Vinclal court at Berlin. This court dis
missed the complaint, holding it was
brought under compulsion and other
wise sustained the contentious of the
Reichs bank
After the hearing of testimony the
imperial supreme court refused to en-
tertain the plea that Abdul Hamid sign
ed the order of withdrawal under duress
and decided tat the Reichs bank must
pay the money as demanded.
