Hi Miller and wife came down
from Creede Wednesday night.
Mrs. Miller was taken violently
sick about ten days ago with an
attack of appendicitis at the Syl-
vester cattle camp above the Farm
ers' Union reservoir, and on ac-
count of there being such poor
roads to the place and the fact that
she could not be moved, the situa-
ton was very alarming. Hi was
away at the time Mrs. Miller was
stricken and she was taken care of
by Mrs. Jackson, who has been,
fortunately, a nurse. When she
was able to travel Mr.. Miller
brought his wife to Monte Vista,
where she is improving under the
doctors care. Hi will probably
return Saturday night.

STEAMER M1DDLEsEx SINKS.
Strikes Submerged Obstruction II
Rappahannock River.

As she was on her way up the Rap
nahannock river to Fredericksburg the
side-wheel steamer Middlesex of the
MARYLAND, Delaware and Virginia line
struck a log or some other submerged
obstruction that punched a hole in her
steel hull. Her pumps were able to
keep her free until she reached her
dock at Fredericksburg and landed her
passengers when she settled on the
bottom in twelve feet of water.
The vessels decks. with the exception
Of the lower one. are above water, and
it Is thought little difficulty will be
had in floating her. Arrangements
will he made. to at once send divers to
fredericksburg to locate and close the
hole in her hull, so that she can be
pumped out and raised. The steamer
Tivola will take the place of the Mid
dlesex on the Rappahannock route out
of Baltimore. The Middlesex was built
about twelve years ago for the route
between this city and Baltimore. and
was continued in the service until dis
placed by the steamer Three Rivers,
then a new boat.
The schooner Earl Biscoe of the Car
ter fleet of this city, which sank in
Mattox creek about ten days ago, and
which was raised, has arrived here
with cord wood for her owners. The
accident to the vessel was caused by
her being deeply laden. allowing the
water to wash into her open matches,
Little difficulty was had in floating her.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH.
Constantinople.

If you want to see the real Constanti-
nople you must leave the main city,
where most travellers remain, descend
the Galata slope, cross the Golden Horn
and plunge into the wilderness of
lanes that lies beyond. You will find
yourself wandering among numberless
rickety little wooden houses, unpaint-
ed and out of plumb, resembling ken
nels and chicken coops rather than the
abodes of human beings Now and
then you will see a broken fountain
feebly trickling water. and you will
pass little weed-grown "turbehs," where
few tottering funeral stones with
illegible inscriptions stand among
brambles and asphodel. and perhaps a
little chapel with its dome roughly
plastered with lime and dominated by
a minaret that looks like candle top
ped with an old-fashioned extinguisher
The black expresses that stand SOM
berly along the wider streets but add
to the desolation of the scene. Here is
none of the rich color. none of the
stimulating mysterious sounds and
rich incense-like odors that one usually
associates with the orient, but only
soualor and desolation.
Nevertheless, this Is the city which
is the center of Islam. For when the
IA
gallery of the minaree of a neighbor
ing mosque you see two white-robed
muezzins walking around and calling
in their strange. unmodulated voices
the heesacramental formula Of Islam. The
rnuezzins seem to be scattering the
words of the Koran to the four winds,
for no other being than themselves is
astir. Yet you may be sure that in
these very novels, which seem so de-
serted, the faithful are spreading out
their worn little carpets, turning to-
ward Mecca. and repeating with deep
faith, La Allah, II Allah!'
And that, after all, is the signifi-
cant fact Constantinople is dirty,
down-at-the-heels capital In appear
ance, and 1t is weak and Intellectual as
a temporal capital. but Constantinople
and its politics are the cynosure of
Islam, the supreme city in the eyes
of the faithful from Morocco to the
Philippines. 1t is the residence OF the
caliph, the 'Imamel-Muslimin.' the su-
preme pontiff of the church state cal
ed Islam, and the home Of laws and
usa ges built upon the book and tradt-
tons of the prophet. There is no doubt
but what the fall of Constantinople
would be interpreted everywhere by
Moslems as the direst disaster. And
that is the source of Constantnople s
strength, and the really greatest prop
which the sick man of the east pos
sesses. 1t is that which makes the en-
trance of Turkey into the european
! var a supremely significant and
dramatic event; for when CONSTANT
nonle is in danger, all of the faith OF
Islam are ready to become her de-
tenders.

PORTUGAL STATES ATTITUDE.
To Cooperate With Allies in Case Of
Reouest by Them.

The Portuguese congress has decided
to "act in accordance with its interests
and it's duty" in cooperation with the
allies in case of request by them. This
announcement was made last evening
by the Portuguese minister, yiscount
de Alte, who said he had been SO noti-
fed by his government.
The minister, who has remained
silent on all subjects concerning his
government for soIle time, todas
stated that this act of congress signi-
fled no positive change in his country:
immediate action.
Portugal is bound by treaty to sup
port England, and the congress re
affirmed the bond after the beginning
of the war.
