COLONEL bHEPARD'S OFFER

A Million Dollirs to the Sultnn or

In eouioo of time the world may re-
1U70. says the New York Times , the
scope of that good in in , Colonel Elliott
P Shop 11 a , editor m inipuhitor of

and politic ! tn
The 1 iteht tovoHtlon concerning the
notorious moralist is to the ofToct that lie
once hud the idea of tony citing to the
Christum faith no less a puisou than
tlio Sultan of liukov , and that not by
the svvotd , as the ctusiuleis of old
sought to oiTcct then putposo , but with
the } nglo of good American dollais ,
some of thorn hiving in time gone by
belonged to William IL Vanbctbilt
Ono be uity ibout this incident in the
colonels career is its absolute tiuthful-
ncss , which is moiothntcan ho siidof
some things told of public and histoti-
cil chnnctors like Mr Shop ird
It seems that when the colonel was
nlnotd some four or hvo jo ns ngo he
visited Constantinople , and tnoro ho
was ontei tiincd by the wife of a pasha
The olllciul was 1 Geim in holding high
rank iu the 'lurkishnnnyandoC com so

The pious colonel studied the Tuikish
ohm tctot nnd the Moslem ciced ut

thocjht tii it so many hum in hoiugs
know not the blessings ol his religion
Consequently on ills ictuin to this coun
try ho put in ui ictico a plan that hid
suggested itso.f on the w ty over
Ho wrote to the pashas wife request
ing ber to infnim hismijesty the sultan
do nl\ the colonel loves those words
thut ho , Colonel Shop ird , would ptesent
him , lho sultan , with 31,000,01)0 ) in cash
if ho would oinbrnco Chitstinmty
"J mbr ice was iho woid the colonel
used , and , consitloiin his well ndyoi-
tised idput ition foi moi.illlj and mod
esty , it would scorn that ho might h iv o
employed a tBrm less susceptible ot 11
double significance In his letter Mr
Shepard gives as his loiison for wilting
to the 1 idy lu question the f let th ithei
husband wits cioso to tbo sultnn , uud
consequently could easily Una un op
pottuuity tomnl o the pioposltion
On his return to this couutiy Colonel
Shopird convoked the idea to his
filcuds that while his leception in nil
Luiopu wasonthusiitstiOi it was in Tui-
key nlono that ho m ido what thcatilcnl
term ' bit " Had
pcoplo a this boon
the c iso , how ever , ho would have

elot jestcidnv , that a Ohiistltin , no
matte 1 how high hl < 3 tank , would novel
ho able to nppionch tbo sultan otv any
thing like intimnto t < irras And the
pishu , to w I100Q wife the colonel'H letter
was written , not or speaks to his lin-
poiial mastoi ONCout in rolntion to tbo
stables , for his duties aio connected
with the sultans hoisds "
When the pashas wife tocoived the
lettei hut amusomoiit was unbounded ,
and she told about it with gicnt glee at
a public reception Not so nor husband ,
the general IIo looked nt the
matter in an entirely dlffoiont '
light What , ask Mohammed's vieo
gerout to forsake ills treed Tlio very
idea caused iv cold perspiration tobionk
out on his ( erotic id and sent lloutlng
through his mind visions nf the how

roplj , the thing is absurd on the Into
of it , but for the sal o nt argument stip-
pose that the olTch had bcou made to the
sultan , 'lho pasha would have boon
dismissed Instantly , aud would have
boon woudoifuUv fortunate had that
hoeii the end ot it "
