ABDUL THE WD
The Crafty Turkish Despot Wore
a Crown of Terror
KIS PALACE LIKE A PRISON
Vildiz a Place of Mystery Was the
Production and the Abode of Fear
Unutterable His Dread of Assassi
nation and His Horror of the Dark
Pnr lnnr ronrcj Alulnl T Tnmlfl linfl
in the park of Yildiz on seeing the
sultan approach rose quickly from a
stooping posture to assume a respect
ful attitude Abdul Hamid startled
by his sudden appearance and suspect
ing some evil motive at once fired at
him The man fell dead Later as no
weapon was found on his body it had
to be acknowledged that a plunder
had been committed Such is the tale
told by the son of the late Prince of
Samos who -was one of the sultans
Yildiz scene of innumerable horrors
had been built by Abdul Hamid him
self and he had made it more like a
labyrinth than a palace It was the
production and the abode of fear unut
terable Surely no sane mind planned
it To guard against conspirators get
ting a plan of his residence its master
was continually changing its internal
arrangements walling up doors open
ing new ones narrowing passages di
viding rooms by partitions making
windows and closing them again It
was a constantly changing maze
To spare himself the danger of cross
ing the graveled path that separated
his apartments from his harem he had
linked his residence by flying bridges
to the harem on the one side and to
the imperial theater on the other This
theater was a gloomy little place
where the monarch wouhl sit entirely
hidden from view in his box while ac
tresses and singers from Paris and
other European cities entertained him
He never came into view never ap
plauded and the visible audience con
sisted of a few members of his family
The building used by Abdul Hamid
as his private residence looked more
like a prison for all the lower win
dows were securely barred and the
heavj iron doors were of great
strength and capable of being firmly
bolted inside
Every room in the palace was pro
vided with a couch on which the sul
tan could sleep if he felt inclined No
body ever knew in what room h
would sleep on any given night Be
fore retiring to rest he would some
times call his attendants and say to
them Keep a good lookout I am
going to sleep tonight in this room
But he would invariably sleep some
where else
On the roof of the imperial apart
ments was an astronomical observa
tory which had been fitted up with an
exceedingly good telescope by a Pa
risian firm This observatory was a
favorite place with the sultan yet he
took not the slightest interest in as
tronomy The telescope was there to
serve his own purpose of espionage
for he used it almost exclusively for
the purpose of watching the residence
of Prince Yusuf Izzedin eldest son of
Abdul Aziz and heir presumptive to
the throne Its glass was never turn
ed upon the heavens
But sometimes from his lonely look
out the monarch saw stranger things
than the residence of Prince Yusuf
things that no other human being had
ever dreamed of There were tirae
when his morbid imagination plnyid
curious pranks with him
It was on the day following an at
tempt upon Ills life by oue AH Souavi
and a revolt at Tcheragan both of
which Incidents greatly upset him
that Abdul Hamid hurried down from
his observatory with a wild look In his
eyes and called his first secretary who
at that time was Ali Fuad Bey He
led the secretary to a window and
pointing to the sublime porte some
miles away he said trembling with
fear
Did you see them They have met
yonder to proclaim my downfall
Who asked the startled secretary
My ministers exclaimed the sul
tan My own ministers are now In
the act ot dethroning me Cant you
see them
This statement was quite unfounded
and It was a long time before the sec
retary could calm his frightened mas

PAPUAN COURTESY
Husbands Beat Each of Their Wives
With a Different Club
The marriage customs of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
of many other savage races The cer
emony is largely a matter of purchase
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier
When a young lake man desires to
get married he visits the father of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as an induce
ment to the father to consent to the
union

DEATH IN THEIR WORK
Dangers That Besot Thosa Who Toil
In Alkal Factories
Do you like your work
When you are inclined to be discon
tented with it think of the alkali work
ers They die by inches from the mo
ment they enter the factories Things
are not so bad now as they once were
but they are bad enough still
In what is known as the black ash
department in chemical works big
open vats of caustic are used The
splashing of this caustic sends drops
of the burning fluid flying through the
air A drop falling upon naked flesh
causes a bad burn A drop In the eye
will blind it forever if the stuff is not
removed within a few seconds
A black ash worker in a Welsh al
kali factory toiling at the caustic pots
received an Invisible globule of this
deadly spray in his eye There was
no water at hand with which to wash
out the caustic It seemed that he
must surely go blind But one of his
mates seized on the injured man who
was quite frantic with pain lifted his
eyelid with forefinger and thumb and
with his tongue licked out the caustic
He burned his tongue badly but he
saved the other poor fellows sight
Another of the dangers that beset the
alkali worker and the worst of them
all is poisoning by chlorine acid gas
This gas which comes off the lime in
thin green fumes is known to the men
and joked about as Roger A full in
draft of the gas kills a man In an
hour Pearsons Weekly

about it and tell the papers but it
was more than I could afford to lose
So I put a detective on it He asked a
lot of questions looked wise and said
hed report in a day or two Well
about three days later I found that
pockctbook where I had mislaid it I
rejoiced exceedingly and then I called
