Where patients do not wait until bed-riddeu
probably three-fourths yield.
And in cases that take the new emollient

nearly nine out of ten respond.
Albumen Casts and dropsy do not prevent
recovery. The point Is that the Renal inham

About that time the late Edwin d. Nor

and became interested in the embryonic

of State, about the situation. The latter
sent for the Turkish minister and gave

The thorn which he predicted, all un-
conscious of it's own influence, or the APP
prehension it created in the mind of the
sultan, appeared in the Bosphorus a
few weeks later in the form or that
grand old man-of-war Hartford. with
Admiral Farragut in command. The ad-

diplomatic responsibility. but the guilty
conscience of the sultan needed no &C

Romance of It's Founding.

Certain incidents in connection with
the foundation and early history Of Rob-
ert College are quite romantic During
the Crimean war New York merchant.
Christopher Robert, was visiting Con-
stantinople. and while crossing the Bos-
phorous one day in a boat to Scutari, the
principal suburb on the Asiatic side, ran
across boatload of bread which looked
very much like that he was accustomed
to at home. Upon inquiry he learned that
the loaves came from the ovens of an
American missionary school, conducted
by a man named Hanlin at Bebek, on
the opposite side Of the strait, and that

soldiers. Mr.. Roberts. who was a keen
Scotchman. was impressed with the sa-
gacity OF missionary who would enter
into an arrangement like that. and took
an early opportunity of visiting the
school.
DR.. Hamlin explained that he obtained
the contract to supply the British hos
pitfalls with bread, first because he needed
the money, second because they needed
the bread and third because he had an
industrial department in connection with
his school and was trying to teach his
students how to earn their living.
The missionary baker and the Scotch
merchant soon became intimate friends,
and DR.. Hamlin lost no opportunity to
impress upon him the opportunities for
an American college at the capital of the
Ottoman empire. AS consequence Mr.
Robert gave DIR. Hamlin $4,000 to pur-
chase site and put up building.
Owner Refused to Sell.
DIR. Hamlin selected the ground on
which the college now stands, but the
owner, Ahmad Vefik Pasha, Turkish
ambassador to Paris, and a famous man
in his day, declined to sell. So DR.. Ham,
lin had to go elsewhere. and examined
twenty-five sites. AS the best he sci sct-
ed one above the village of Courouches-
mehm and bought it; but the Turkish
notables in the vicinity protested against
the erection Of a Christian college in
their .neighborhood, and the ground re-
manned unoccupied until it's sale few
years ago. Meantime Ahmed Vefik Pasha
was in need of money, owing to the fail
ure Of the government to provide for his
heavy expenses in Paris, and he accepted
the offer he had refused before. A per-
. NIT to build was obtained without much
difficulty, but no sooner was work begun
than the police stopped 1t. strange to say,
upon the complaint Of France and Rus
STA, whose ambassadors objected to the
influence Of an American college on the
banks of the Bosphorus
But DIR. Hamlin was not to be deferred
in his purpose, and in September, 1868,
with three professors and four students,
began work in room Of a large house,
now the residence Of Mr.. Heller, the
American vice consul general. which was
then used for Christian worship by men,
bers of the English and American col
onies, and also by the missionaries of the
American board for theological semi
nary. The college remained there for
eight years while Dr.. Hamlin was i'm
portuning the government for permit
to build on his own ground. He became
such a nuisance that Ali Pasha exclaimed
one day:
.'Will this man Hamlin ever die. and
stop bothering me about his everlasting
college"

that each and every piano Is strictly
brand new-the very latest style
and fully guaranteed both as to
quality. material and value.
Are not these astounding figures ?
Shipped In the old fashioned way
over 40 carloads of pianos would
be required in this undertaking.
Shipped under the Eilers harness
system lin special cars without
boxes) even then 26 cars will be re.
quired.
The retail value of these pianos Is
nearly one-quarter of million dol
lors-$244.50O to be exact.
In purchasing these $40 pianos on

one-third Of the price. or $50, AGO.
Club members each secure an av,

husky, tanned and bright as new

home in Lombard, Ind, today and
shouted, "You bet I'll do It," BY
this he meant that he would carry

trio grandfather who adopted the
lad as his own son. which was filed
yesterday in Washington. If he is
successful he will receive q for

Don't look as If I could do all
those things that grandfather says

He readily assented to the re-
quirement that he study manual
training. dancing and music. Then
he asked:
"How can a boy go to dancing
school and not make friends with
the girls?"
Bobby's remark was caused by
this peculiar paragraph in the Pc
culiar will, intended as a direction
to the boys guardians:
Thoroughly and we'll to guard
my beloved son from women, and
sensibly, that is, quietly, gradually
and impressively, though in no err

and parasitical nature of most of

that he may not marry beneath
him."
Eyes, I will became a Protestant
Episcopalian, though grandma is a

Then he asked:

they are all good"
