BUYS MILLIONS OF STAMPS
Enormous Collection Belonged
TO DR.. Parkhurst' Wife.

Mrs Charles II. Parkhurst, wife OF
the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst. of the Madison
Square Presbyterian Church. yesterday
sold to a local stamp dealer ten million
cancelled United States and foreign
postage stamps, representing collec-
ton of thirty years.
The Parkhursts formerly lived at
No. 1873 East 35th street Recently
they moved 10 the Ansonia. and the
stamps were found to be in the way.
Moreover, Mrs. Parkhurst, who has
been in i'll health for some time, had
long ago given UP the habit, and DIR.
Parkhurst therefore instructed his Sec
retary TO dispose of them.
IT seems that years ago 1t was adver-
tised that for a million cancelled
stamps free tuition would be given to "a
chinese boy or girl. Mrs. Parkhurst.
&c well as many other women, there
unon began TO collect cancelled stamps,
hut when she had obtained million
she could find no place to exchange
tben for the tuition Of Chinese lad.
She continued to save them, neverthe-
,ess until her collection exceeded the
enormous figure of ten million.
The purchaser calculated that II the
stamps were placed in a row they
would reach from New York to Plus
burgh, about FIVE hundred miles.

SHEIK-UL.- L.-ISLAM.

pers say this situation has given way
before the demand OF tne army and ot
public opinion that the war be contin-
ued. The common danger seems To
have united all parties. This is shown
by the perfervid outburst of the news"
papers Of all political shades urging d
fight to a finish.
The explanation of this newborn una
nimity may be found in the suggestion
OF one of the high government officials
that even il it is found impossible TO
hold the lines at Tchataldta other de-
fences are possible before the enemy
can reach this city. Every male who
has reached the age of nineteen years
will be expected To be ready TO per-
form his share IT, the duty Of protect

The Sheik-ul-Islam, though an ap-
pointee OF the Sultan, wields a power
greater than the Sultan. not only in the
Ottoman dominions, but in all the Ma
hometan world He II is who has the
sole power to depose the Sultan and to
proclaim all true followers Of the Prophet
relieved of all further allegiance toward
the monarch whom he has been pro-
nounced unfit to reign. No Sultan can be
removed or his successor appointed with
cut a felvah, or decree OF the Sheik-
ul-Islam. who can likewise prohibit the
execution Of any command Of the Sultan,
when he considers it contrary TO the
NIulteka, a legal code based on the tra-
ditional sayings of MahOmet and the re-
corded decisions of his successors.
Aside from being the highest ecclesias-
teal dignitary of the empire. he is still
more important and powerful as the SUI
preme Interpreter of the Koranic and
Multekan law Nearly the whole of
Turkish Jurisprudence is based on these.
He is also the chief Of tho ulemas. who
supply all the judges. magistrates, pro-
fessors and teachers.
This powerful disnitary receives Io3l $40
piastres $4,000 a year
But his authority is not limited to the
boundaries of the Turkish Empire. When
the recently deposed Abdul Hamd re-
vived the claim of Turkish leadership of
Pan-Islam, the Sheik-ul-Islam became
the real head OF all true believers, and 1t
is his power to summon this great horde
to wage holy war against the inhdeis
that is troubling the civilized world at
the present day

Consider Sanatorium Water Supply
Waterboard Puts Matter Over Until Next Regular Meetng
 Commissioners Meet Supt Corkery and Also Decide on Location For the Foundations For the Buildings

Thursday evening there was a spe- eial meeting of the board of water commissioners for the purpose of con- sidering the matter of extending the water main to the tuberculosis sana- torium, below Thamesville. It will be necessary to continue the six inch main n the highway a distance of 1900 feet at an expense of about $1, 800, while the state will have to bear the expense Of putting in the pipe from the high way about 1000 to 1900 fet to the point where the buildings will be.
 The board discussed the matter for about an hour, and finally put the mat ter over for the next regular meeting, at which time they will be a position to know the needs of the sanatoriuIn, and they will take up all the proposi- tions concerning extending the mains outside the city. The board is favor ably disposed to do all it can. and if the sanatorium was within the city limits they would not hesitate, but it will necessitate putting this extention in outside the city, which their char ter does not permit them to do, and 1t applies also to the TherInos building.
 It is probable that the next legislature will be asked to approve ii if the lines are laid.
 About two hours were spent here on Thursday by Dr. c. H. Knight and Dr. s. J. Maher of the tuberculosis com mission for the conference with Super ntendent Corkery and deciding upon the location for the buildings on the Post farm. They were here from 10 II, coming here from New London, where they spent the night by auto.
 Superintendent Corhery explained the situation to the commission where the charter states that only those in the city shall be supplied with water. Through the water board and council t was thought the situation could be overcome by an amendment to the charter, which the next legislature ,oIld approve. the work to go on in the meantime and be finished this spring or summer Nothing definite was accomplished at the meeting rela- tive to the extension, though it is felt that the main will be put down.
 There were present at the Post place, which was vacated Wednesday
