WHEN THE
SULTAN FELL

Truly, Yildiz was House Of Terror,
not only to the thousands of the house
hold, but to the great Sultan as well,
writes Haddad Ell Baku in the London
Journal. And Abdul Hamid was not
the only one who cast the cloud of
fear upon the rest. There was the
frowning face of Nedjib Pasha, the
Judge and executioner, who stole
silently to and fro between the i'm
perial apartments and the torture
chamber. There was Kabasalxil, the
drowner, with his deep voice and huge,
bushy beard. Then, too, there was
the sly, scheming Djevher Agha, the
first eunuch, who, in the caprice of a
moment, might plot death for either
men or women.
Within the gloomy palace walls no
life was safe. No man or woman
knew what terrible suspicious might
creep into the devious mind of the
Ogre of Yildiz. Scarce one there was
who dared to look into the depths OF
his brooding eyes, where always there
seemed to shoulder the vacillating
fame of his murderous lust.
Even demoralized Turkey rebelled
at last, and Abdul-Hamid had to grant
a Constitution. At the end he turned
coward-as tyrants will.
: The deputies who entered the palace
to communicate with the fallen mon
arch on the part of the National AS
sembly, found him sitting on a sofa az
they came in, and beside him was his
little boy, Abdurrahhan Effendi.
The padishah rose feebly, and, ad
vancing said, why have you Gomez
General Essad Pasha, the leader o.
the deputies, replied, "In conformit!
with the fetwa that has been pro
nounced, the nation has deposed you.
81 am not guilty." cried the fallel
monarch.
ut is my destiny! Is my life a
least in safety?" 1.-THE Ottomans ar
noble and magnanimous," said Essa
Pasha. "They never commit injuf
tice."
But Abdul-Hamid seemed skeptical.
Swear to me on what you say" n
demanded, "for your declarations ma
soon be modified. Swear to me, the
in person that you shall not so bao
on what you say"
Your life is in every way guaraI
teed by the Nations Assembly" 81
sad Pasha assured lhIm.
Then he sank bankl on the snfa wit

ia long-drawn sigh. He was in state
of great agitation, almost of collapse,
and looked years older than only few
short months before. In a few days
he had been sent to his long exile.
1t was a, strange night procession
out of Yildiz-the deposed ruler, the
two little princes, the three Sultanas,
few women from the harem, and the
cavalry guard. Through the sleeping
and silent capital the cortege passed
between a double row of Constitu-
tional bayonets. Behind them gleam-
ed the lights of Yildiz, filled with it's
treasures and it's mysteries-the fan
tastic palace that Abdul-Hamid was
likely never to see again. The House
of Terror! The House of Horrors! Yet
just ahead lay what to the fallen des-
pot was far more terrible place-the
railway station. During all the thirty
three years of his reign Abdul-Hamid
had never once seen railway.
The deposed ruler installed at last
in the Villa Allatini in distant Saloniki,
the government gave its attention to
investigating Yildiz and incidentally to
the problem of what was to be done
with the women Of the harem.
Two hundred and thirteen female
slaves were claimed by relatives,
while some went to Paris, where they
could plunge into the gay life of which
they had often heard, and could still
wear fine attire. Those that were un,
claimed-and it was sad to see them
looking vainly for the relatives who
did not come, who perhaps had died
long ago-were turned over to the
care of the government to be main
tanned at public expense until pei
chance they might find husbands.
1t was a very nervous parliamentary
commission that visited Yildiz Palace
to pry into its secrets. They were
fearsome of springguns, trapdoors anC
other dangers, and they proceeded
with the greatest caution.
They were guided through the be
wildering place by Nadir Agha, tn,
second eunuch, whose life had beef
spared because Of his disclosures. Tn,
first eunuch, the terrible Djevher Aghi
had already been hung from the Ga
lata Bridge, unmourned by single be
ing except beautiful Egyptian slav
girl whom he had maintained in luxur
in house he had constructed for he
in his garden.
Nadin Agha knew every nook an
corner in the lair of the hoary MOI
ster he had served. With his help tn
, commission unearthed treasures @
immense value. Scattered in all sort
of unexpected places was found cas-

bonds and securities reaching almost
two million more.
In Saloniki recently met a Mace
DOMAIN patriot, who said:
do you net remember how the la
dies of the harem went away some
months ago? They went away by
night and they have not returned. One
of them stopped very much and had a
very vacillating step. Perhaps that
was the Sultan himself Who knows
Or perhaps he is dead. At any rate no
provisions have been delivered at the
villa since that night"

AN AFRICAN BABY'S BATH.

One morning I heard the baby cry
ing as if his little heart would break.
and went to see what could be the
matter with him, and found his
mother washing him in front of her
house. And do you think she had
nice little bath-tub and scented
soap and warm water? Oh, no! But
she held the little baby upon his little
feet and was pouring cold water on
him by the handfuls. The poor baby
was screaming at the top of his
lungs and lightning against the cold
water as hard as he could; but the
mother paid no attention to that,
and went on with the washing. Did
she have nice, warm flannel clothes
to dry him with and others with
which to wrap him? No; but when
the washing was over, she lifted the
baby UP and with her mouth blew
vigorously into his eyes and ears to
drive out the water, and that is all
the drying he got.
Then she proceeded to dress him.
