The Seal's Marvelous Instinct.
The Instinct of the seal Is mar , clous.
It will leave Its young on the ice In
the morning ami. going down through
a hole , remain away all day swim
ming lu search of food. Returning In
the evening , It will locate Us offspring
In the same "patch" among hundreds
of thousands of other baby seals not
withstanding that the Ice may have
wheeled or drifted fifty or sixty miles
during the day from wind and tide
and notwithstanding that the patch
may extend thirty or forty miles from
one end to the other. Whether this
instinct Is of the class that enables
the bird without any mark or chart In
a forest with millions of trees alike to
find Its way back with ease and preci
sion to its nest I do not know , but It
is one of those wonders In nature
before which human knowledge is
brought to n full stop. Sir Edward

SULTAN'S DENTIST HIDES.
Located by Wife After Flight fror
Constantinople , She Asserts.
Philadelphia , June 19. Mrs. Fran
Fnbcr , wife of Dr. Fabcr , who during
the last twenty-five years has been
dentist to the court of Constantinople ,
arrived in Philadelphia and announc
ed that she had located her husband
after a search of more than n year.
She has followed him all over the
world only to learn that he Is in Chi
cago. Mrs. Fabcr , who is an Arme
nian princess , eays her husband will
leave there to Join her here.
According to Mrs. Fabcr , the depar
ture of her husband from Constanti
nople was hurried. Ono day ho was
requested to call at the palace for the
purpose of extracting a molar from
Lhe Jaw of Abdul Hamld , who since
has been dethroned.
Apparently the dentist did not use
enough cocaine , as the sultan gave the
imperial yell when the tooth came out.
The next thing Mrs. Faber heard from
her husband he was in Berlin.
The fleeing dentist wrote his wife
he had Incurred the sultan's displeas
ure and she should dispose of his
Turkish properties "at any old figure"
and leave the country Immediately.
Dr. Faber declared ho feared ho
would bo beheaded or cast into a dun
geon had he remained In Turkey.
Mrs. Fabt-r said she followed the In
structions of her husband and proceed
ed Immediately to Berlin. She could
not find him there and she went to
London , where she met with no better
success.
Then Mrs. Faber came to Philadel-
plmi , where she met Dr. Robert Nones ,
who twenty-five years ago worked
with her husband. Dr. Nones said he
had seen Dr. Faber In this city within
a month , and finally , she says , she lo
cated and communicated with him in
Chicago. She refused absolutely to
give the Chicago address.
Mrs. Faber asserts the present sul
tan wishes her husband to return to
Turkey and again be the court den
tlst. She has an Idea they wish to re
turn on account of having in his pos
session many secrets of the old regime
and that after the present ruler gets
these the court dentist will be among
the missing.

Girl Thrown Off of Train.
Hoskins , Neb. , June 19. Special to
The News : C. W. Manck , the irate
father who pursued his daughter and
her lover to Norfolk a few weeks ago
when the couple eloped and were mar
ried at Madison , an'd who subsequent
ly filed charges against Smith , the

charge sworn out yesterday after he

form.
Then the girl issued a warrant for
her father's arrest on the charge of

crowd raised a purse , said to be about
$50 , with which the bride was able to
hire an automobile to take her to her
waiting husband.

Korea Being Taught Things.
After two years and a half of hei
lift spent among the natives of Korea
Miss Julia Martin , sister of Mrs. F. E
Davenport of this city , Is back in thi
1Ca
United States for a few months vaca
tion. Miss Martin is spending n fev
days with her sister and former Noi
folk friends. i
Miss Martin likes Norfolk. "Thi
climate here is so nice , " she says
"The evenings are cool and it Is i
beautiful city. "
This compliment is a real ono , conIng
nv
Ing from a missionary who 1ms trn\
eled In the far east , where there ar
many beautiful and wonderful cities.
Miss Martin is working under th
ro direction of the Southern Presbyterla
mission and her position in Korea is
that of a supervisor ot a district Un
der her direction , many native Ko
reans are employed to teach their
countrymen and women Christianity
and modern civilization.
Miss Martin was sent hack to this
country to accompany Dr. Fursytho
and his sister , also missionaries , who
were attacked by an ailment known in
the far cast as the "sprue. " Miss Mar
tin brought the sick missionaries to
Louisville , Ky. , and after n short stay
In Chicago she came here.
Tomorrow she will go to St. Joseph ,
Mo. , the headquarters of the Southern
Presbyterian mission , and thence she
will go to Atchlson , Kan. , her home.
She will return to Korea , to take up
her work In the province of Chulla In
September. She will probably stay
there about four years.
"I like Korea very much , " she says.
"The cllmato Is good and the peopla
need some ono to toll thorn how to
llv.e. The Koreans are easily educat
ed and once they become christianized
they are apt scholars. The girls are
quick to learn , and the men of Korea ,
who once thought the women their
slaves , nro beginning to realize this.
The husbands , after becoming chris-
thins , teaeh their wives and they oven
admit that the women and girls are
quicker to learn than the boys. "
Travels Far Alone.
Miss Martin speaks the Korean dia
lects iliiently and without any white
companion has traveled hundreds of
miles Inland , teaching the natives the
gospel. Once she made a trip alone
to an Island south of Seoul , where she
was stationed for some months , being
the only white person among thou
sands of natives. Miss Martin be
lleves that the Koreans understand
Christianity better than many white
people who , she says , take it for grant
ed that they know all about the gos
pel.
pel.Tho
The bubonic plague , which has kill
ed hundreds of natives recently , did
not reach the district In which Miss
Martin was engaged. The city in
which she lives has a population of
17,000 people and the houses are built
of the best material. Some of them
are constructed with natural stone ,
brought from a nearby mountain. Be
fore she left this city the Japanese
were building a railroad to Seoul ,
which Journey was made heretofore by
boat
Speaking of the Japanese , Miss Mar
tin declares that the Koreans are sub
mitting to the conquerors of Russia ,
and that the little Japs are making
great Improvements In their new pos
session.
Japs Make Progress.
Before , the Japanese took Korea the
cattle were used as horses are used
here. They were also killed for meat ,
When the Japanese came the cattle
were experimented upon and now a
fine dairy has been established In
Chulla province , and the missionaries ,
who have been used to canned milk
and canned. , butter , are able to enjoy
fresh butter and cream. Besides this
improvement , the Japanese are intro
ducing scientific farming in Korea.
Rice and barley and a few vegetables
were the only products raised by the
Koreans before the Japanese came.
Now there have been experimental
farms established. Cotton is growing
well , and orchards with many fruit
trees have been set'out. The Koreans ,
says Miss Martin , have found that
there is no use trying to thwart the
Japanese , so now there is a good feel
ing existing between the two coun
tries , and the Koreans are helping the
Japs make the country yield to their
needs. The chief food of the Koreans
is rice and fish. They seldom eat but
ter or drink milk.
They Relish Dog Meat.
One choice morsel , however , of the
natives Is dog meat Dogs whose own
ers pay no dog tax are killed and put
on sale at the meat markets. "Often
I have seen from five to nine dead
dogs , ready to be cut up and sold for
food in Korea , " says Miss Martin. "I
have known of a mad dog being killed
and eaten by a native. "
Miss Martin does not believe that
there will ever be war between Japan
and the United States. "We never
hear such talk in Korea or Japan , "
she saj's. "One Japanese has told mo
that Japan has had plenty of fighting.
He never wants to see war again. I
believe the war talk between the Unit
ed States and Japan is only paper
talk. "

New Haven , Conn. , Juno 19. At
torney General Wlckersham told the
graduating class of the Yale law
school today why ho Is opposed to the

language to call such a scheme of gov
ernment popular , ho said.
"It is an attempt , " declared the at
torney general , "to create a govern
ment of all the people , by a minority
of the people , for a small minority ol

substitute for the institutions whlcli
