Constantinople, Turkey awofco
with u scream. Tho recent history of
tho new reglmo in this country was
qulto unlntolllgiblo to tho western
world. Tho popular shrilling of "Lib
erty!" "Justice!" "Bqualltyl" "Fra
tcrnltv!" resounded throughout civi
lization. Mullahs nnd Armenian
prlento, green-turbaned descendants of
tho Prophot and Protestant Christians
foil on one another's nocka Indiscrim
inately In a delirium of rejoicing, it
was tho Intoxication of tho wine of
civilization. Tho ancient, long-suffering
and sadly used Ottoman emplro
was besido itself with Joy, Tho trans
formation of Turkey Into a constitu
tional government will probably bo
ranked as ono of tho groat event of
tho now century.
Tho reason for all this Is that tho
nntlon's Bleep had been n nightmare.
America has nover developed n very
deep or Intelligent Interest in Turkey.
Consuls havo for years hammered
away on tho neglected trado oppor
tunities here, and missionaries have
talked of tho social and religious con
ditions of tho emplro. LVon in tho
safety of tho freo west nobody dared
say that Abdul Hamld was several
degrees worse than tho ogres of tho
(fairy talcs. Up to tho year 1908 Tuv
(key was more bonlghtcd than China.
Now Ideas and populor rights had
imoro opportunity In tho celestial king
dom than In this nation which bo
strides tho two continents of Europe
nnd Asia. Tho cunning resourceful
ness of tho most tyrannous ruler of;
modem history was used to keep out
all that makes for cnllchtcnmcnt.
The Dark Days of Turkey.
Everybody whom ono meets on tha
streets of Constantinople known froi,i
personal experience tho horrors of thfl
old reglmo. Nobody was allowed tj
study truo mnps or read real history.
Nobody was permitted to travel
abroad. Prlvato lottors, as well a
newspapers nnd books, wero censored
by officials moro alert than Intelli
gent. They required that any booi
which mentioned Turkish history
should call a defeat a "rotrogrado afl-
vuiiut). Auor cuhboring fioino didic;,
ono of tho multitudinous stories cua
rent has It, tho functionary querul
ously enquired, "Who la this mas
Paul, who Is writing to thoso Gala,
tlanB?" Government was by assassination
uud massacre. The dagger waa at
tho back of ovory person of forco or
inltlatlvo or progrcsslvenoss. Tho
emaciated and trembling body of that
urchcownrd and tyrant Abdul Hamld
could havo bathed fur months In tho
Innocent blood of tho half million pco
plo whom It Is estimated ho had put
to death, Nobody know whoso turn
would bo noxt. Covetousnoss, rovongo,
Joalousy and, above all, fear conspired
to point tho assassin's dnggor. There
was a world of significance In tho re
mark mndo to mo by an old resident
of tho empire as wo rode up tho
Bosphorus last wook: "All tho big
palaces within sight belonged to Abdul
Hamld." Nobody was allowed to pros
per greatly excopt tho Sultan.
Revelations of the 8py System.
It 1h now known that an Incredibly
largo number of spies more than four
thousand ono rellnhlo statement has
It in nil walks of llfo made dally re
ports to this monarch of fear-bitten
mind. A largo room In tho war office,
next to that occupied by Mnhmoud
Shovket, tho commander-in-chief of
tho Turkish army, Is now filled with
thoso documents, which wore seized
along with loss dangerous weapons
and croat stores of treasuro In Ylldlz
"palace.
X trusted committee is perusing tho
documents, although tho counsol of
mnny was Unit Ihey should be burned
unopened. It has leaked out .that they
Implicate high and low, natlvo and
forolgnor. In such n reign tho finger
of suspicion inovltably points ovory
iwhoro, Perhaps rnoBt unsettling aro
the plnlstor charges which ono hears
against men connected with tho for
eign legations, it would not bo pleas
nnt for Americans or Britons to feel
thut persons, oven of minor position,
supposed to represent their Interests
in Constantinople, had really been In
tho pay of jtfbdul Hamld.
A National Serlo-Comedy.
Tho dark ages havo no story to
equal this ono, which Is to this dny a
favorite theme of conversation wher
over people meet. Abdul lliunld Blcop
lng in ono of tho multitudinous rooms
of ihul Juiikshop called Ylldlz Pnlaco
niter ho had said he would sleep in
others, lulled lo rest by tho cheapest
typo or sentimental and melo-drninattc
Fronch novols, dreaming over plots
against his llfo, practising with n
multitude of revolvers (moro than
three thousand woro found after ho
had been dethroned), his palaco a
wonderful house of fear, his eunuchs
possessing grentor prestigo and powor
than tho nation's foremost stntesmon,
tho army and civil officials all parts
of n malign mnchlno, for which tho
poor ovorburdoned pcoplo had to pay,
pay, pay Is thoro anywhero In his
tory an oqual chaptor to this? Tur
key know n rolgn of torror; Abdul
Hamld represented u reversion to bar
barism, and to tha basest primitive in
stincts, equipped with untold wealth
and tho cnglnory of modern civiliza
tion.
The Great Awaking.
Such was tho night from which Tur
key awoko with startling suddonnoss.
Is It nny wondor that this historic
city, once the cnpltnl of Romo nnd of
Greece and of tho Christian oinplro,
n city moro truly thnn Jorusalora
"beautiful for situation and tho Joy of
tho whole earth," rang with such ac
clamation as tho proudest of Its an
cient emperors had novor heard?
Liberty, long dreamed of, and often
despaired of, enrao almost ovornlght
to a throno on tho UoBphorus whero
"wo continents and two seas meet.
Constantinople Is admittedly tho
moBt strategic city In tho world. So
It was no small ovent when It foil bo
foro the Irresistible forces of twen
tieth century civilization. Tho Young
Turk victory was haidly the nicely
calculated scheme often represented:
rnthcr It wnB n fow leaders taking ad
vantage of a rcslBtless conquest by
il'o spirit of tho times.
What the New Regime Means.
With tho significant details of tho
new conditions In Tnrkoy I shall deal
in subsequent articles; hero I want
to present tho broad outline.
Approaching Constantinople by wa
ter ono finds It still ns of yore, the
fairest work of man that anywhero
greets tho traveler's eye. Above tho
red-roofed houses, unmnrked by the
smoko-stnckB of modern Industry, tIgo
tho graceful tnlnarots. On a com
manding position on ono of tho seven
hills of old Stnmboul, St. Sophia
keeps guard, now a mosque, but tho
oldest building In oxlstenco dedicated
to Christian worship, and moro mag
nificent than St. Peter's in Rome, or
St Paul's or Westminster Abbey in
London, or Notro Damo in Parl3, or
tho gaudy Don in Berlin, or historic
St. Stephen's in Vienna. Greeks, Ar
menians and Roman Catholics dream
and prophesy of tho day when tho
cross will onco again shlno abovo St
Sophia's great dome, nnd tho power
of Christendom will bo supremo on tho
Boqphorus..
Adjoining St. Sophia's tho traveler
sees tho Seraglio, whero tragedies
beyond count havo boon enacted. Tho
palaces, tho fast scurrying caiques,
and tho latticed wlndowB of tho
harems of Turkish houses nil paBs In
revlow; It Is a beautiful and unpnral
lelled picture.
If ho arrives by rail, tho travoler
beholds the ancient walls of old Con
stantinople, and Is quickly Introduced
to the filthy odors nnd disorder of tho
Incredibly Ill-kept streets of Constan
tinople. But slgnB of tho new reglmo
aro not wanting. Hero is a streot
their daughters to tho schools of mod-
cm learning maintained by tho for-,
signers.
Alnngnlflo of tho veiled woman In
sombro wrap ono sees tho awaggor
dark-skinned modern girl In merry
widow hat and hobblo skirt. I no
ticed n Constantinople collego girl
with an array of puffs on tho back of
her head such ns ono commonly sees
on Broadwny, nnd which aro surely
never mndo outsldo of tho shops. Well
patronized cinematograph showB pre
sent tho latest fnshlons ns well aa tho
latest news.
In a word and with reservations
nnd exceptions to bo notod lntor
modorn civilization has como to Tur
key Thre nm multitudes who for
ono reason or another sigh for the re
turn of tho good old daya; but their
power has been hopelessly broken.
Turkey Is awako never lo sleep again.
Her futuro is an absorbing enigma
that concerns nllko tho practical
statcsty.n of tho world's capitals and
the student of human affairs. What
ever her destiny may be, the plp of
death has passed. Tho new llfo of
tho new day Is tho latest conqueror
to sweep over historic, blood-drenched
Turkey.

For the first class shovclor thoro is a

shovel load? Will a first class man
do moro work per day with a shovol
load of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 40
pounds? Now, this Ib a question which
can bo answered only through care

EW YORK. -A moving picture ma
chine set up to mako a film of
tho rescue of a young woman from
tho waters of a luke in Sluleii lulaud
the other day recorded instead tho
drowning of the actor-rescuer and tho
saving of tho actress by herself. Tho
actor drowned was Albert Brighton.
Tho play which ended in tho trag
edy took place at Brady's pond, Grass
mere. Tho pond has an area of about
six acres. Mary Murray, an actress,
rowed out twenty-llvo feet or so from
tho shore. Tho young woman, In a
fluffy white dress and alone In tho I
boat, was to pick water lilies, and,
in reaching too far for one of tho
flowerB, was to upset tho boat and bo
rescued.
Tho picture machine was started,
and MIsb Murray picked several of the
flowers. Then, at a signal from tho
operator, sho leaned far over tho
gunwalo and stretched her hand to
ward another of the lilies. As sho
put her weight on tho sido of tho
beat it tipped and went over, throw
ing her Into tho water.
It was part of the play that the girl
should scrcm for help and throw up
her hands to attract tho attention of
Brighton, who was strolling along tho
shoro of tho pond in Immaculate sum
mer flannel. When tho girl screamed
Brighton threw off his straw hat and
hli coat and dived into tho water.
Tho young woman In tho wator con
tinued her acting of the helploss
drowning girl. Tho actor splashed
toward her, apparently half swimming
and half wading. Then ho began to
shout for help as If appealing to
thoso on shore to come to his assist
ance in rescuing tho girl.
Ab ho Bhouted he disappeared and
then reappeared and shouted again.
Tho others of tho company mado no
move, thinking that he had taken a
notion to Impart an additional appear
ance of reality to the act So for
a few seconds tho film ran on, but
tho rescuer sank and did not reap
pear. Then Miss Murray swam ashore
herself and Brighton's body wns after

The Constantinople Dogs.
Tho famous, or Infamous, Constan
tinople dogB are missing, except for
an occasional stray, at which crlllca
of tho now administration point fing
ers of scorn. Somo thousands of dog3
wero gathered up by workmen with
wooden tongs, dropped Into carta and
carries to towboats, which boro them
to an Island In tho harbor. Tho aim
plo and natural way would havo been
to kill them painlessly and end tho
mnttor, or nccopt somo ono of tho
commercial offers to clean tho city
of dogs for tho sako of the hides, ono
compnny agreeing to glvo tho govern
ment a bonus for tho privilege. But
tho Turk has Ideas of mercy toward
dumb animals, albeit rathor qulxotl
cal. Tho poor mangy, floe-bltten curs
woro sent to this Island, where, It Is
said, they got nothing to drink or
cat. although supposed to be fed by,
government grant. Certain It Is that
tho dogs which at first waded out to
son In longing for tho filthy stroeta
of old Constantinople speedily be
camo fewer and fewer and all are
now but a tradition of dark days that
are gono.
The Press as Archimedes' Lever.
Most significant of all the signs
which nn observer notes In tho Con
stantinople of today aro tho boys aud
men who hawk dally newspapers
through tho streets. "Extras!" In
strange, hen-track Turkish, Arabic
and Armenian script aro flaunted In
tho faco of tho cosmopolitan passers
by. They are real nowspapers, too,
filled with tho doings of tho wholo
world.
Of courso, this means a changed or
dor of society. You cannot have news
papers without having progress, The
dark agcB cannot stand tho tidings of
what Is going on In tho world. Tho
pross lr. ono of the Archlmldean lov
ers by which tho world Is moved.
What armies and mobs could not do
!u tho overthrow of despotism tho
printing pross Is silently accomplish
ing, not only In Tnrkoy, but In China
and Persia, and tho other backward
countries of tho world.
With the uncensored press have
como books. A man may now read
anything ho pleases In Turkey. My
bag of books recolved not n second
glanco nt tho Custom House, which
caused a fellow travoler used to tho
ways of tho old order, to toll stories,
of what would havo happonod two
years ago had a traveler tried to
bring a suit-case full of books Into
tho Custom House. Thoro Is freo en
trance for twentieth century Ideas In
Turkey. Whereas mon used to havo
to whisper under their breath tho big
words of "Llbortyl", "Justice'.",
"Equality!" and "Fraternity!", they
now cry them aloud and placard thom
on tho highways. Formorly nolthcr
Ottoman nor forolgnor could travel
In tho Interior of Turkey without a
special passport; now anybody may go
anywhero.
Some Marvellous Transformations.
No organizations wero permitted
under tho old regime. Today clubs,
Eoclotlea and parties flourish. Spies
aro but a hideous momory. Even
schools for womon nro permitted and
encouraged. Turkish officials send
biggest day'B work with a shovel load
of about 21 pounds. For Instance,
that this man would shovel a larger
tonnage per day with a 21 pound load
than with a 24-pound load or with an
18-pound load on his shovel. It is, of
course, evident that no sbovelor can
always tako a load of exactly 21
pounds on his shovel, but neverthe
less, although his load may vary threo
or four pounds ono way or tho other,
lthr below or abovo the 21 pounds,
tho shoveler will do his biggest day's
work when his average for tho day la
about 21 pounds. American Magazine.
Work on what Is Intended to bo
tho largest and finest military prison
In the world an Institution which the
war department plans to make a
model for all futuro penal establish
ments has been begun here, to re
place the prison built in 1877. Tho
cost of tho now prison Ib estimated at
only ?G43,000, but tho completed
structure will be tho equal of $3,000,
000 buildings erected by contract.
This saving of moro than $2,000,000
will bo represented by tho work done
by convicts, tho material manufac
tured In tho prison, and tho parts of
the old prison utilized in tho new.
The entiro work, it is expected, will
be completed by January 1, 1014. By
the end of next year, however, a largo
part of tho new prison will be occupied.
When tho new prison Is completed
It will havo accommodations for 2,182
convicts, and each will havo a largo
cell to himself, fitted with every mod
ern convenience. The cell houses are
to be built on tho radial plan, each
tier of cells radiating from a central
rotunda, from which tho watch ofil
eur ciui, by merely turn'ngr his head,
see tho entiro frontage.
Military prisoners differ greatly
from convicts In civil penitentiaries in
that most of them are under sentence
-j-viM'TflSllfe j
for what in civil llfo would merit
merely discharge from their employ
ment. Most of the prisoners aro un
der sentence for desertion or disobedi
ence of orders, and many of them vol
untarily surrender for punishment As
a rule they average higher In tho scale
of manhood and Intelligence than civil
convicts and, accordingly, will re
ceive better treatment
In tho old prison there aro now
nearly 800 men, and many of them
live two in a cell. In the new prison
It is doubtful whether all of the cells
ever will bo occupied, unless tho army
should bo increased greatly.
The men now convicts nre erecting
the new buildings, burning tho lime,
making cement blocks, cutting and
sawing Umber, fitting tho plumbing,
erecting the steel, in fact, doing prac
tically every part cf the work under
civilian foremen. Practically all mate
rial entering Into tho construction of
tho now prison buildings Is being
made by convicts.
Sun Victim Spends Summers in Cave
Strongest Man In France.
A fow years ago M. Brland, who
narrowly escaped assassination re
cently, was quite unknown outsldo tho
ranks of a few fellow lawyers and the
worklngmon and Socialist organiza
tions to which ho allied himself. To
day ho IB unlvqrsally regarded as ono
of tho strongest men In France. He
cntored tho chamber of deputies In
W02, only seven years beforo becom
ing premier, and It was renlly tho
part that he played In tho ncuto re
ligious political struggle in France
that brought him to the height of his
fame. Ho Is u stirring orator and a
strenuous worker. "Let's havo done
with talk; It's tlmo for work," is ono
of his favorite phrases. Ho Is ono
of tho simplest of men, and finds his
chief recreation in fishing. His ono
troublo Is that the caricaturists iu
fuse to put him In tho papers. "Till
they do so," ho says, "I urn not really
popular."
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Alone In an
underground caye, studying the
Bible and occasionally painting a

sixty-five years old, passes tho hot
summer months, afraid to como out
Into tho sunlight Ho knows that the
blistering rays of tho sun will cause
his death if he is exposed to them.
James suffered a sunstroko whllo
at work in a wheat field near Otta
wa, Kan., 27 yenrs ago. Tho prostra
tion was so severe that for weeks
It vas thought he could not recovor.
Ho finally recovered, but doctors told
him that exposure to the hot Bun
would aggravato his case and prob
ably kill him. James resolved to keep
out of the sun, and for 26 summers ho
has escaped tho sweltering heat that
other persons in Kansas have under
gone. James had saved a little money. Ho

A hen belonging to Virgin Johnson
of Glasgow, Ky., laid an cgs tho other

Jubt what caused the, phenomenon la
not known. Nothing llko It was over
hnnrd of before Jn this part of tho
country. U has been suggested by a
camo to Kansas City, Kan., about
fifteen years ago and ono of the first
improvements ho mado at his homo
place was a summer cave, Tho cavo
resembles a cyclone cellar. It Is a
largo excavation in tho yard at the
rear of his home. Grass has grown
over tho cavo for many years and
one must look closely to discover It
The entrance to tho cavo Is a door
llko that on an outside cellar and
steps lend to the Interior of the cave
at ono end. Tho temperature In tho
cave never gets above 60 or 65 and
day after day, when everyone around
him is suffering with tho heat, James
reposes on a cot, reads his Bible, to
which he devotes most of the time, or
paints pictures.
Mrs. James and children live In
tho house. Mrs. James prepares the
meals and tho children carry them to
their father, and on hot afternoons the
entiro family gathers in the cave to
escape tho heat, and neighbors also
drop In often.
On cool nights James leaves tho
cavo and walks about tho neighbor
hood or visits his own home, but tho
approach of sunrise 13 the signal for
him to hasten to the retreat During
the winter James works as a laborer.
Description of Hellerau, the Ideal
Town Recently Built on the Out
skirts of Dresden.
Just on tho outskirts of Dresden
thoro has sprung Into existence dur
ing tho last two yenrs a garden city,
the first of Its kind in Germany. Ber
lin has made attempts in this direc
tion, but they were moro as a form,
of land speculation.
Hellerau Is In a healthy location,
two miles distant nnd about 300 feet
higher thon Dresden. Tho wooden
partB are pruaei ved aa much as pos
sible. Tho 315 acres aro divided Into
ono section for cottages, tho other
for villas. ?ho streets aro already
laid out and all are to bo provided'
with gas and wator connections and
with drains. Arrangements will also,
bo mado for a supply of electricity.
The cottage ectlon is built by tho
Hellerau Building society and the
houses aro rented to members only.
Membership is secured by taking a.
sharo equal to $47.60 and tho liability
of tho members ends there. Intorest
up to 4 por cent Is paid on theso
shares and nny further profits are di
vided among the community. Tenure-
Is fixed and the tenant may leave at a
year's notice.
Cottages aro built to rent at $62 to
$150 annually. Each cottage has a
garden, a largo cellar, separato scul
lery with built-in boiler, pantry, wa
ter closet on the ground floor, easily
accessible attic, gas for cooking, elec
tric light and bells, water connection
and if needed accommodation for do
mestic animals. Tho smallest cottago
consists of four rooms, kitchen and
living room on the ground floor and:
two bedrooms on the upper floor,
largo enough for a family with two
or threo children. During last year
150 of these cottages wero built and
nre now occupied. For 1911 an ad
ditional 150 aro already planned.

among them for hor personality as

Faulkner's first lieutenant In tho rais

Miss Rlttcr entered Mrs. Faulkner's

Ranks First as Material for Small
Houses, With Well Chosen
Brick Second.
In materials, natlvo stone, shipped
stone, concrete brick, shingles and
planks nro good In the order named.
Natlvo stono deserves first placo be
cause It Is sure to bo good in color
for H10 place In which It Is quarrlod.
especially after it is somewhat weath
ered. Shipped stono Is often quite as
good, sometimes even better, and oc
casionally bad. In using either klrrf
of stono for small houses, a heavy
and clumsy effect may bo obtained
unintentionally, if tho stone Is vry
rough hewn. The smoother tho stone,
or tho narrower tho layers of It, the
leea danger thero Is of this heaviness.
Concroto hns a naturally good color,
and may be toned artificially, If de
sired. Brick, if well chosen, Is a.
closo second lo native fetonu. From
that position It runs down tho scalo
until It Is scarcely better in quality
than wood, and less agreeablo to look
at. A brick of staring red will bo a
horror to any cultivated eye; and If
you wish to make such a house a
nlghtmaro, you havo only to surround
It with purplo clematis, scarlet salvia,
geraniums and crimson ramblers. The
result Is better Imagined than seon.
Wood, tho poorest of building mate
rials. Is discouraged by all our build
ing laws. It nenls constant rainting
repairs and worrying with, and is to
bo taken only ns a last resort, lr
placo of a canvas lent If It must
be wood, however, wo may console1
ourselves with tho thought that shin
gles tako good stains and make .
very plcturesquo appearance. And It
tho house Is Irrevocably of planks,
wo can at least plan for an unobjec
tionable color scheme.
School Gardens.
In Philadelphia about 40,000 rhll

school gardens In 1869, and now Austria-Hungary,
Dolglum, France, Italy,
Russia and Germany have thousands
of gardens.
