loes down Pera streets and stopped the traffic for half an hour. Hungry CUTS pursued the dogs meat men, and tore the meat in the streets Fish sellers proved the freshness of their wares by setting Holsters to race on the pavement; angry Greek serving maids shook carpet dust on passersby; Greek urchns amused themselves by dropping lighted matches on women's hats, and herculean hamals drove their loads of blanks into other peoples chests. There were no street lamps. and there were heaps of rubbish and dirt. Everyone was uncomfortable, but everyone was leisurey, lazy and good humored, and most good humored of all were the harem ladies who lived exactly as they liked.
 Then came Dshemil PaSha as prefect; and Dshemil Pasha set himself to stop all this. He issued decree after decree, ana what is more, he had the decrees en- forced. He produced a trained corps of young doctors and sanitary inspectors. So the carpet beaters and amateur wash erwomen have been forced to work in the privacy of their homes; the yourschis have now to transport their curds in closed vessels, and the house rubbish is collected daily on best European princi- ples and at once carted away. Recently, with the aid of French bank, Dshemil concluded loan for improvements; and not only did he not steal the money, but what is still harder. he prevented other people stealing it.
 With this money Dshemil is working marvels. few weeks ago he opened fine park in front of the former sui- tan's palace and the museum in the Old Serai. He has laid out, at the Achmet Mosque. beautiful gardens, and opened, or improved small parks all over the old part d Stamboul. And now he has begun to widen and straighten the streets. This is costly work, for every single Stamboul street needs widening and strengthening Dshemil is hedped by the daily fires Wherever house is burnt he puts back the building line. All new Con- stantinople streets are to be 20 metres

cree declaring that all house holders are responsible for the condition of the streets opposite their abodes, and if they do not fulfil their duties, the mu. nicipality will do the work and send all of them bills.
 Altogether life Is not very easy un- der ''Dshemil. the Spring." Mrs. Medina Hanum threatens that the best class of Turks, sooner than obey DshemiI, will remove to Scutari Scutari, she says has Turkish pavements, Turkish customs and Turkish homeiness. It is as Turk ish as ever. This is shown by the fact that during the recent rains a 3-year- old Scutari child was drowned in a hole in the pavement near the Bouyouk Dasjami mosque.

It began lately in Agatsch Serai. Agatsch Serai lies far from civilization in ex- treme West Stamboul near the Greek wall. After a hard day spent in arrang- ing for the cleaning of the river Jeni Bagtsche in the interests of hygiene, Dshemil visited Agatsch Serai. He en- tered typical end- of -the-city street of the kind which small officials inhabit. It had washed clothes dripping over the street; important carpetbeating opera tions, heaps of rubbish, and a particu- larly unwashed yourtschi who was sell ing his goods from an unwashed, un- covered vessel. While Dshemil YVES rating the yourtschi, and threatening him with deprivation of license terri ble thing happened.
 A latticed window overhead opened, and out flew the contents of a pail of rubbish. old papers. mutton bones, and vegetable refuse The rubbish flew past DshemiPs head, and landed fairly on the brand new fez of one of Dshemiis 5 smart young doctors. Dshemil lost his temper. He rang the bell, strode into the house, and marched straight up- stairs. The harem ladies who had cast oul tAe iTuDplSn thought tnemSelVeS lost. and they fled without their veils to the roof, and then crossed to the roof of the adjoining house, whereon sat handsome moustachioed police man smoking from a tribouq The ha- rem ladies rushed home again. They preferred the shame of being seen by elderly Prefect Dshemil to the shame of being seen by a moustachioed police man. And they fell into Dshemirs arms
 Such things are not meant to happen In decorous Turkey. Mrs. Medina Ha- mum. rich woman who has a palace at BOuyouk Dere, on the Bosphorus, has taken up arms against Dshemil on behalf of the sanctity of the home and and the integrity of good old Turkish customs. She says that the Osmanli Turks were the healthiest people in the world as long as they did not worry about health. Dshemil is spelling Constantinople. and demoral- izing the Turkish character.

AQxJ and benefactor. is in conflict With the harem ladies. They thirst for his blood. Despotic Dshemil decrees that the harem ladies shall live hygienic lives; let their houses be searched for choiera germs, and stop heaping rubbish In the yard behind or in the middle of the street. The harem ladies are wrathful. They VOW that autocratic Dshemil Is siaour and therson of dog, and that he deserves to be carried off by the djins.
 Dshemil Pasha, called "The Spring." owing to his restless energy, is the great est man in Constantinople. He Is prob- ably the greatest Turk of recent times. for Mahmud Scheflxet a greater man still, was an Arab. "The Englishman." Grand Vizier Kiamil. made Dshemil pre- feet. and set him to reign over Stamboul and to transform it into European city. kiaml's patronage stamped Dshemil as an Old Turk. And in fact Dshemil dis liked the Young Turks. When the Jan uary revolution put Mahmud Schefket and the Young Turks in power, Dshemil sent in his resignation. Mahmud Schef- ket refused to accept it. He said he did not care whether Dshemil was an Old or Young Turk; but considered him the only possible prefect. So Dshemil stayed much 10 the glory of ancient Stamboul, and much to the disgust of harem ladies, An 'atolian shepherds. dogs meat sellers, yourtschis, carpet beaters and juvenile Greeks.
 Dshemil was once professor of medicine at Constantinople university. and as doc- tor he has European fame. So he set himself to turn Constantinople into Eu- ropean town, and he is succeeding bril- liantly. That is the cause of the trouble.
 When Prefect DshemIl started work Constantinople had no order. It had what it preferred, decently tolerant indiffer- ence on live and let live principles Every man did as he liked and no man took offense when other mems doing as they liked caused him pain.

 Everyone praises Dshemil except the men and women whom he has dispos- sessed and interfered with, chiefly the Antolian shepherds; the yourt schis, and the harem ladies. With the harem ladies Dshemil has first rate quarrel

''Tell me about your plans for the high valleys between the ranges of the An- des. MT. President"
 "There is another enormous field for development. We have uplands there that are much like the high valleys of Switzerland. We have plateaus upheld by the mountains and those plateaus are already covered with sod. We have vast herds of cattle and millions of sheep in the Andes They feed upon the pIateaus and we believe that these pastures can be greatly improved. We are trying to breed new grasses, and if we can do as we hope there is really no limit to our possibilities in the production of beef and mutton. We are introducing new breeds of cattle and sheep. and the day will some time come when Peru will be ole of the great wool and meat exporting coun- tries. Indeed, I see no reason why we should not eventually send meat to your markets through the canal.
 "Another feature of our highland de- velopment" continued MT. Billnghurst, ''is in the raising of grain. We find that barley will grow well at 12.0O0 feet and more above the sea, and we are inducing containing some barley from the high lands It is not at all bad.

Atlanta The denial by Judge
Ben Hill Of a new trial to Leo M
Frank means that the final termina-
ton of the case cannot be many
months distant. The only appeal
which can now be possibly made is
the one already outlined on United
States constitutional grounds, based
principally entirely on the technical
point that Frank was. not present in
the court room when the verdict was
rendered.
Franks attorneys, it will be re-
called, consented to waive this right
at the time, but attorneys who have
since been called into the defense
say that it was constitutional right
that could not be waived.
On such a slender thread Frank is
now basing his hope of salvation
from the gallows Solicitor Dorsey
is today convinced that the case has
reached it's end. He does not believe
ludI Ilt = lllJCu SiClLCo supp C41AS ~ 80 =
will have jurisdiction or will inter-
fere with the verdict.
A sensational side issue of the case
as it now stands, which will be
watched with almost as keen interest
as the fate of Frank himself, is the
proposed investigation of bribery by
the grand jury, in which Dan Lehon
the chief lieutenant of VIM. j. Burns
has been bound over as material
witness, and in which Detective
Burns himself may be bound over.
The charge is that the preacher
Rev. Mr.. Ragsdale, was bribed with
5000 in the presence of the Burns
men to give false testimony thai
Conley had confessed in order K
help Franks cause. Ragsdale made
such an affidavit, but afterward re
pudiated it in a public confession
that he had fallen victim to tn"
temptation of bribery.

After the Wife Whippers.

Atlanta.-The city police court
may be compelled to consider the
establishment of a whipping post for
wife-beaters, if mere fines and
chaingang sentences do not soon put
a stop to the practice in Atlanta.
Yesterday three different men
were arraigned and found guilty OF
beating and mistreating their wives,
and last week there were several
similar cases.
Walter B. Milan, a telegraph OPP
orator, was one of the principal Of
Tenders yesterday. Milan was fined
500 for mistreating his pretty lit
tie wife last Monday night, and was
also bound over to the state courts
on a charge of wife-beating and OF
assaulting a neighbor who heard
Mrs. Milam's screams and went to
her assistance.
In another case, that of j. R. Stat
ham. the wife who had been beaten
appeared in court and pleaded for
mercy toward her husband, whom
She said she loved. The Judge was
moved to reduce Statham's fine to
S10.75.

County Ordinaries For sIaton.

Atlanta.-The county ordinaries
of Georgia are one set of public Off
Gals who have no fear this season
of expressing their opinions and
preferences in the campaign. The
ordinaries do not have to stand for
election this year, and consequently
feel free to express their views on
other candidates without jeopardiz-
ing their own interests.
The friends of Governor Slaton re-
gard it as one of the most favorable
signs of their campaign that the or
dinaries of the state who have been
heard from are for him in the sena-
torial race almost to a man. In many
letters from counties from all over
the state ordinaries have told the
governor that they were for him, and
that sentiment in their counties was
strongly in his favor.

ATHENS, Ga.-According to sta

During the year 1912 there were
about 10000 hogs treated with hog
