HOM n visit to the pnlnco
of the kfnR of Slum I have
Just returned , having gene
by the golden elephants nt
ir the portals , walked past
| jtho ? black soldiers nt the
3 Rate , and stood upon the
$ throne of his royal majesty
S himself. I have penetrated
Htho reception rooms and
the various audience cham
bers , have taken a look at the hushes and
trees of gold anil silver , which are sent
to him from his provinces , have al
most handled the royal Jewels , and have ,
with my uractlcal American eyes ,
looked nt his cart loads of bric-a-brac path-
crcd from the four corners of the earth. 1
liavo visited the stables of his sacred whlto
elephants , have Riven the ugly beasts a
taste of heathen grass , have trod with my
patcnC leathers the floors of his holiest torn-
" , plc8 , nnd have with unwinking oycs
looked nt thu grandeur of the llttlo emerald
Idol. My letters "from Washington
gave mo access to the foreign minister anil
ono of the English speaking nobles con
nected with the state department , a bright ,
4 copper-colored , black-moustached young fol-
ow In u dress 'half Slatncso nnd halfl
Euroucan , noted ns my guido. Ho showed
mo the outside of the great buildings of the
hnrcni , but I have failed to meet any ono of
his majesty's ono hundred wives , and his
royal highness himself had loll the capital
for a six weeks'trip Into the Interior of his
realm three days before my arrival. I have
been so fortunate , however , as to meet many
men connected with his court , who are well
f. jiostcd upon him and his kingdom. The
talks with these and with old residents of
the country have given mo almost as good 'a
knowledge of his personality as though I had
mot him myself , and ns I write this letter ,
'his last photograph taken by the court pho
tographer lies on the table before mo.
It represents a bright-eyed , slender young
wan of thirty-six dressed in the gorgeous
uniform of Slauicso royalty. Small in
stnturo , his head is crowned with n golden
pyramid of Jewels , rising in circular tiers ,
diminishing as they go upward until tnoy
end' In n long , pcneil-liko point , which ex
tends nearly two feet above the forehead of
its kingly owner. His body is clad In a gor
geous coat and vest heavily embroidered in
gold and Jewels , and in "place of pantaloons
ho has the rich brocaded surong of thu Siam-
cso about his loins and waist. It comes down
below his knees nt the front , and it looks
hero not unlike a pair ot fancy knlcker-
, bockers. Uolow thcso a pair of shapely
' calves in whlto silk stockings are thrust into
Jewel-covered , hccllcss slippers , pointed like
the shoo of the Turn , and the whole makes a
costume brilliant and grand. His majesty
el s on n foreign armchair and his sword
& lies on a table at his sldo. " Ho is
av pleasant looking fellow and his
olive brown face Is plump and un-
wrinklod. Ho has beautiful liquid black
eyes , a broad , high nnd rather full forehead
and abort , straight , black hair. Under his
rather short nnd half-Hat nose there is a
silky black moustache and below this the
lips arc rather thick , and the chin plump
and wall rounded. His hands and feet are
well made and he is , all told , as good a speci
men of Siamcsa bounty as I have seen. Ho
Ja.thp ninth son of Malm Mungkut , the last
Icing of Slam , and ho was picked out of a
family of eighty-four children to bo placed
upon the Siamese throno. Ho has thirty-
- four half brothers and forty-nine half sis
ters , and hoMilced ono of his half sisters so
well that ho married her and mndo her a
ijuccn.
TUB KINO 18 THE LAW.
Looking at him it is hard to imagine that
ho is the sacred ruler of fiom six to ten mil
lions of pcoplo , and it is hard for an Amer
ican prlnco to appreciate liia absolute power
nnd his holy dignity. The pcoplo of the
country are his slaves. Ho has the right to
call thorn into his service cither with or
without pay , and nil men In Siam are forced
to give htm cither the whole or a part ot
, th'oir services during the year. His word
can throw a man into chains or put him to
South ; can deprive him of his property or
rob him of his daughter. All the women of
*
Siam are supposed tobelong to the king- , and
no ouo is forbidden to him except his
mother. Ho is supposed to take ono
of his sisters as the queen , and the
nobles of the country offer him their
daughters by tno scores. His court is ono of
intrlguo und plotting , und the nobles are
glad to have their daughters In the harem m
that they may thus the bettor attain the
king's friendship nnd powerful ofllccs. Ho
taxes the uooplo as ho pleases and these taxes
are go heavy that at times some men have to
sell their wives and children as slaves to enable -
able them to pay him. Still his vaults are
full of treasure. Siam 1ms no national debt
mid ho hat nn income of more than ten mil
lion dollars n year. Ho can spend tens of
.thousands of dollars in cremating a dead
wlfo or in establishing a potty navy , which
would bo of no moro good than so ninny boy's
toy bouts against the war ships of the great
' nations.
Still tnls king of Slam Is the most pro
gressive the country has ever had. He Is far
in advance of his pcoplo , and ho Is doing n
great deal to clvlll/.e them , lioforo his
second coronation in 1S78 nil natives who approached
preached the king had to do so on all fours.
They had to raisn their hands In adoration to
' him and bump tholr heads on the mats be-
'fore him. This king did u\vuy with all this ,
ml ho has Introduced the American handshake -
* shako Into Ills' reception of foreigners. Ho
gives receptions to foreigners , and ho speaks ,
the English language , though ho never dors
this when noted forolgn visitors
have an audience with him. Ho
consider * it beneath his dignity at
' uch times to sj > cak in any" other
language than the Siamese aud ho has un in
terpreter who translates the English words
Into Siamese and the Siamese into Knglisb.
Ho has brought the telegraph and the telephone -
X phone into IJangkol : , has established u street

A ItOVAJ , riUKBT.
' This king of Slam is a Buddhist aud ho
" was for some tlrnou Uuddhlut priest , as Is
a'-'iho custom with all men In Slam. Every-
? oo' l expected ut some time to enter the
yriMthood , and this royal monarch with tils
. million * of treasures , his scores of wives
and his lO.OOO.WX ) a year , once thavoa his
r kMd und nominally gave up his crown and
/ | ir harem to wear a yellow cotton ncnrf
fc0w ! ii vritlu mul to uct f&iilAtt and urav-
Ing. Ho ii n liberal Buddhist now , and ho
gives , I am told , nil facilities ! to the mission
aries and treats them well. Ono of the mis
sionaries Ift nt tha head of the roynl school
here , and the king has given something to
the mission fund. Siam has now nn Jibnnfiy-
nt certain of the courts of Europe , anO ; i
think the minister to London has also the
United States In his Jurisdiction. There Is n
Siamese consul In New York , and hero nt
Bangkok bis majesty has bin foreign depart
ment , his Interior department nnd his royal
m Int. A new court of Justice has Just been
built and the whlto of Its exterior is probably
moro pure than will bo the proceedings
within , As far as I can learn Iho native
Siamese courts are founded moro on the
caprice of the Judges than upon law. There
is no Jury , and tortures similar to these of
China , are practiced to mnko witnesses tes
tify. Ono Is the twisting of bamboo withes
tighter and tighter about the head until the
prisoner confesses , nnd the other Is the whip
ping with the bamboo of the man stretched
out nt full length , imd his skin pulled taut
by men nt tils head and heels. Tlio prisons
of Siam nro horrible dungeons , sotno of them
hanging over the water , nnd the forcing of
convicts to work In heavy chains Is so com
mon that you meet them constantly on the
streets , and this not nlono of men but of
women at well.
Hit majesty's name Is perhaps the longest
of any monarch In the world , It contains
llfty-scven letters and ho is called Chul-
alangkorn for short. Ho has ten dif
ferent names In addition to this , nnd the lull
names of the royal family , would , I doubt
not , fill n column of this newspaper. The
queen Is not far from twenty years of ago :
she rules the harem , nnd she Is n very
pretty Sintncsa girl. Her complexion Is n
light brown nnd her oily black hair , about
two inches long , stands straight up nnd is
combed backward from the fair open fore
ll end. She has beautiful oycs , wears diamond
mend car rings and a diamond pendant nt
her neck nnd her fingers nro covered with
precious stones.
sun sMOKrs cioAitr.TTr.s ,
ns docs also the klngnnd she chows the betel
nut , minting her teeth as black as Jet and her
llpu stick out. Tlio Sintncsa say that any dog
can have whlto teeth but It Is only these who
nro rich enough to afford the betel nut who
can have black ones. Black teeth nro n
sign of beauty here , nnd nil the ladles of the
harem chow and smoke. I visited yesterday
the store-house of the purveyor to the king.
It Is nu English establishment , but its busi
ness Is to soil the palace nnd the harem the
various articles they need. It has hundreds
of balls and playthings , which are brought
from Enropo for the royal babies , nnd the
clerk tells mo that there is nota fancy French
plnvthing or nmusemont of nny sort thnt is
not Hold to the palncc. I was shown about a
hundred dozen llttlo china spitoons about
the size of n shaving mug. These were
beautifully decorated and some of the pic
tures were by native Siumcso artists
sent to Europe to bo painted upon them.
I bought ono decorated with a picture
by a Siamese prince , and I was told that
these spittoons were used by Iho ladies of
the harem to spit iu while chewing this dis
gusting preparation of the spongy betel nut
mixed with rose-tinted lima and finecut to
bacco. I talked to the dressmaker as to the
fashions affected by the king's wife and his
scores of concubines , nnd was told that the
ladles of the harem prefer Siamese dress and
that their favorite costume is the surong or
waist cloth , to which they add a loose Jacket
trimmed with Swiss embroidery nnd covered
with bows of ribbons set on in rows. Com
monly they wear neither shoes nor stockings
and the chief leg decoration is 'an anklet of
gold. They have Homo foreign costumes
which they put oil when the court pho
tographer takes their portraits , but their
common attire is moro that of jewelry and
bracelets than of silks and satins. Thcso
ladies of the harem are the most noble Indies
of Siam. The last king had wives from
China and India , and ho was anxious to add
a well-bred English girl to his gallery of
beauties. Ho had , it is said , chances to se
cure one or two French maidens , but bo had
had so much trouble with the French that ho
declined to receive tlicm. Once in the
harem it is Impossible for a woman to get
out , aud in the case of flirtations the offend
ing woman Is In danger of being put to death.
Many of the girlt eambla and some of them
do line embroidery aud fancy work. Some
become Jewelers and often make articles and
sneak them out of the palace to bo sold. Tno
women nro not kept In separate palaces and
each does not have an establishment of her
own as in Japan. After the ugo of twenty-
live , If they had no children , the older
women become the waiting maids of the
younger and the stock is replenished contin
ually. The present king shows no inclina
tion to come down to the American ono-wifo
principle , and during his present visit to the
interior ho has taken a couple of score of his
favorite women nlong with him. The Ama
zons have , I aui told , been done away with at
tbo palaco. The last king had them , but
though I looked through the best of pebbled
glasses for them during my visit to the pal
ace , I saw not one.
A MAGNIFICENT 1'ALACE.
The palace of tbo kins at Bangkok was
built only a few years ago. It looks much
line ono of the great palaces of Europe. It
nns several stories , and under the bright rays
of this Siamese sun it appears to bo made of
marblo. A closer inspection shows thnt the
marbla is stucco , and the golden ele
phants , each about bulf lifc-sizo , which
uuard the entrance , change as you como
near them from massive gold to iron
gilded. Wide stairways lead by marble steps
through these into a great vestibule , the
celling of which is about forty feet high and
the walls of which are hung with old Siamese
nrmor. At the right of this is the king's
audience hall. His throne is a bed , and ho
lies on his arm or sits Siamese fashion , n la
Turk , whllo he receives his royal council and
discusses the matters of the Kingdom. The
ministers and nobles sit on leather-cushioned
benches , and the portraits otSlamrso heroes ,
in oil , by European artists , look down upon
them from the walls. Just back of the king
there is a portrait of a shavcd-hoaded ,
crooked-mouthed , pale-faced , half-naked
Buddhist priest. It is the high priest of the
kingdom , and thus the proceedings go on un
der the very shadow of Buddha himself. The
priests , by the way , claim that the royal fam
ily are lineal descendants of Buddha.
On the other sklo of the vestibule is a
grand reception room fully us wide und
nearly as long as the cast room of the whlto
houbo ut Wasnlucton. This Is paved with
marble mosaic , and Its high coillngs.twlco as
high as tnat of the cast room , Is gorgeously
decorated with carvings of gold. Brilliant
chandeliers hang down from it , and about
tbo walls are oil paintings of the royal fam
ily , and the only woman's face among them
Is that of the present queen , whoso sweet
face looks down beside these of the king's
brothers , and has the best light und the
place of honor of the whole room. Tho'fur-
nlturo of this room Is European , and tbo
treasures of Europe have been ransacked to
Jill it. There are rani vases from Dresden ,
tllligrce work from Vcniceund richly-carved
gold from Slum. Through this room and on
Into u third grand reception room wo went
with tlio Siamese noblo. Hero the king re
ceived , the day before ho loft , the Austrian
prince , who I have met during my stay , and
who has been sent hero as minister
to blna , Japan and Slam. This
room Is full of beautiful things. Two of
the largest elephant's tusks wonderfully
carved stand beside the mantle and an
album on a llttlo stand at the back of tbo
room has a medallion portrait of the king
painted on porclnla and set In the richest
of diamonds. The corners of thu room con
tain largo cabinets filled with curious works
in gold f rein card cases up to betel boxes ,
and I noticed a line portrait of Frederick ,
the late emperor of Germany , among tbo
many oil paintings on the wall.
The nudlenco chamber , or rather the
throne room of the king , is a grand hall
with a coiling made of many colored pieces
of glass and producing the same effect as
the glass wall whloh Tiffany built between
the vestibule nnd tbo long corridor of our
whlto houso. The light shining through
this makes U look as though It was made of
Jewels und the room Is lighted from the
top. Thq ceilings Is , I Judge , fifty feet from
the floor. It Is vaulted and the walls below
are frescoed In gold. Three immense glass
chnndoller * like these of the east room of
the Whlto House hang down from this ceil
ing and these wtro * raado for the pal
ace of the emperor of Austria , but
were bought by the king of Slam. The floor
Is of marble mosaic and the king sits on n
great chair on a rottrum at the back. Five
steps lead to it and beside him are the kingly
umbrellas and over him a nine story , pagoda
like crown of white and gold. Around the
room there are gold trees and gold buihes ,
and the leave * of thcso are of pure cold ,
whllo their trunks are heavily plated. There
tfiiro perhaps a dozen of these on each , sldo
of the room and they ranged from the size of
a Obrletuins tree down to that of a small
current buth. Those are the offerings of the
rulers of the various province ! under the
king. They inalco these presents of gold
trees every year uud tome of them are worth
fortunei , Not a few were of ullvcr and the
liver tree * wfifo Placed on tno tldu of the
room , whllo those of gold wore placed on the
other.
THE WHITE ELT.ritANTS.
Slam Is known as the land of the whlto
elephant. Tlio elephant Is the Imperial anl-
inni ot the country , nnd you see bis picture
upon all of his flags. The old coins of the
realm have an olophnut on ono side of them
nnd the whlto elephant Is hero sacred , Ho
Is the embodied spirit of some king or horo.
and the people formerly worshipped him nnd
do to some extent now. Before going to sco
the palnco 1 had read n glowing description
of the white elephant of Slam. I expected
to sco his tusks bound with gold , to find
golden chains noout his neck and a superb
velvet coat of purple , fringed with scarlet
nnd gold , over his snow whlto body. What
I did find was four wild-eyed , scraggy-look
ing elephants with long links nnd with skins
not much whiter thnn these you see In
the American circus. The only white
part about them was their long flapping cnrs
which seemed to bo nflltctcd with the leprosy.
Tbo remainder of their s lns had the white
ness only of disease , nnd I was told , ns a
rule , the whlto elephants of Slam tire innd
elephants. Thcso beasts were In dirty stables
and they were chained by the feet to great
wooden potts. They had dirty keepers nnd
there .wns no sign of rnynltv nbout thorn.
Their keepers fed them some grass while wo
wcro present nnd they performed somo' or
dinary circus tricks for us. The glory of the
whlto olcphnnt has in all probability departed -
parted , and the elephants of the Interior of
Slam are made to work qulto as hard ns their
brothers nil over the world. Ono of the
punishments of Slam Is the making convicts
cut the grnss for those roynl elephnnts. Ono
of them killed his Keeper the other day nnd
this same holy beast made n snap at mo with
his trunk when I entered his stable.

NDER the londor-
ship ot a few public
spirited nntl onor-
gotio professors nt
Cambridge , a syndi
cate wits formed in
1872 to put into
operation n system
of university oxton-
sionvorlc utnong tlio people of Eng
land. IJy organized classca listenIng - '
Ing to a series of circuit lectures , they
proposed to bring within the reach of
the common people facilities for higher
education extended by the colleges and
universities of that country. Many ot
the graduates intending to follow
collegiate careers embraced the
opportunity allordod for practice and
experience in these popular lectures.
It goca without saying that the move
ment was a success particularly in the
city of London , where In 1887-8. over
live thousand students were enrolled in
the various classes. The syndicate has
boon regularly organly.od for the work
delegating the clillercnt departments to
separate committees. The llftcenth
anniversary of the movement was cele
brated last year to th.o great gratillca-
tlon of its organizers and supporters.
About two years after the formation
of this English syndicate , the germ of
tin American system ot popular educa
tion began to develop under the guid
ance of the llov. Dr. Vincent. Chuu-
tauqua , N. Y. , was the center of a plan
to supplement the work then performed
by the Sunday schools of the different
churches. As an outgrowth the Chau-
tauqua Literary and Scientific circle
soon began its career with the purpose of
establishing a systomutic course of homo
roaning in every town and village. Its
sueiuss was surprising to all. And in
1878. It enlarged Its usefulness by - obtaining
taining a charter of the state of Now
York enabling it , as the Chautauqua
college of liberal arts , to confer degrees
upon those \yho should finish the nro-
scribed studies. It is a.collogo for the
people , for those who cannotleavo their
daily occupations to attend the distant
educational institutions. has
> It grad
ually attractud to its aid , the assistance
of leading specialists in every branch in
their departments.
And now tjinru comes , an interchange
of the American and English systems.
Tlio plan for homo reading has already
been transplanted to thq mother coun
try. A branch of the Chatauqua is in a
nourishing condition ii\ the vicinity of
Oxford. On the other Hand the Cha
tauqua authorities have ? i ued a pros

They have gathered , .together a

ferent branches. The list contains the

Under their oversight , but under the
business management of a separate
committee , the course will bo inapuod
out and the lecturers assigned. The
aims of the institution are set forth in
the prospectus.
First. A revival in the United States
of the original idea of a university as a
voluntary association of students and
itinerant lecturers , for higher educa
tion by means of systematic courses of
local lectures upon special subjects.
Second. The promotion of good citi
zenship by the popular study of social
science , economies , history , ( ancient
and modern , ) literature , political ethics
and the science of govern mont , in con
tinuous and progressive courses , under
the guidance of competent teachers. I I
Third. By a course of instructive lec
tures upon such subjects as modern as
tronomical discovery , climate and
weather , geology , physics , electricity
and its uses , chemistry of arts and man
ufactures , agriculture , the human body
and laws of health , anthropology , the
history of art and architecture , to give
students not only clear ideas of the pro
gress of science and its practical appli
cations , but also of Up fundamental
principles. j ,
Fourth. By co-operation .with Ameri
can colleges and other institutions of
learning to supplement tjioir educa
tional advantages by university exten
sion courses , occupying QPO or two
terms , Upon Buch subjects as are not
fully provided for in tli9r } regular cur
riculum , i j
Fifth. By alllliation jwitji public li
braries , mechanics' ineti.tutps , lyceums ,
labor unions , guilds , , Yu.ung Men's
Christian associations , local circles of
the C. L. S. C. , or other/ literary and
scientific clubs , to meet thoipeouliar so
cial and educational ncodsjof different
communities. j ,
Sixth. By the organization of the
most jntolligont and progressive forces
in American towns to promote the
higher education of the American pee
ple. By the stimulation of local en
deavor and the spirit of solf-holp to
bring existing local agencies for popu
lar instruction to higher ollicioncy. By
well-directed courses of unlvorsfty-ox-
tonbion lectures to specialize popular
.interest along certain great lines of in
quiry , nnd thus not only to encourage
systematic reading , but also to give
point nnd method to the UBO of public
libraries.
The attainment of these ends is to bo
reached by a sort of traveling college.
Candidates for itinerant lecturships are
to bo appointed by the central commit
tee upon nomination by the heads of
the various departments. They will
deliver lectures to the local organiza
tions which select tlio courses desired ,
Each course will consist of twelve
weekly lectures , occupying ixboul nn
hour each. Those are to bo preceded
or followed by a clnes hold for about
throo-qimrtora of nn hour for these stu
dents who wish to become more famil
iar with the principles of the subject , or
to have their special dinicultlos ex
plained , but the teaching in the class is
to bo entirely conversational. A printed
syllabus of onch lecture is to bo fur
nished , nnd also questions upon it
which may bo nnsworod at homo nnd
submitted to the lecturer for correction
nnd comment. These who attend regu
larly nnd who have performed the re
quired number of weekly exorcises mny
take a written examination on the com
pletion of the course. Pnss-cortlflcatos
are to bo accepted by the Chnutauqua
College of Liberal Arts ns counting to
ward gtaduation for a degree in any
particular school that the student nviy
have entered. It is desirable that the
work bo performed in connection with
attendance on the summer school nt
Chautauqua , which has proved so bene
ficial during the last few yoars.
Any town which Is prepared to fur
nish an audience nnd to guarantee the
payment for a coin-so of twelve lectures
may designate tiny subject offered by
the university extension committee.
Local expenses must bo defrayed by the
local committee. The charge for the
lectures Is $350. This amount can ot
course bo made up by the sale of tickets ,
and certainly when divided among a fair
nurnbor of attendant students would
bo exceedingly low for a first
class education in any one branch.
The expectation is also expressed that
a system of traveling libraries in con
nection with the local lectures may bo
organized. These would comprise books
treating only the technicalities of the
subject and would servo to supplement
the lo'cal public and private collections.
This plan , of-courso , is nomono.y mak
ing scheme and is to result in nothing
moro substantial than satisfaction and
glory to its originators. But , incident
ally. It will open the Hold for a great
addition to the visible supply of
college professors and it will enable
the gentlemen at the head of the vari
ous departments to assist their collegi
ate proteges to remunerative occupa
tions. This has been made a paying
business by two professors who have
boon giving similar courses of lectures
during the past winter in BulTalo , St.
Louis and Columbus.
As to the effectiveness and usefulness
_
of this prospective institution , there
are differing opinions , as on every ques
tion of importance. The main object is
to provide higher education for persons
of all classes and of both sexes , engaged
in the regular occupations of life. It is
generally acknowledged that instruc
tion exclusively by lectures can bring
its greatest benefits only to these who
have already engaged in considerable
advanced study. To bo sure , the con
versational classes in connection with
the lectures will remedy this defect tea
a certain extent , but conversation ex
orcise can not hope to reach the thor
oughness shown in the modern college.
Higher education can not bo obtained
before one has acquired the rudiments of
the bubject. It would bo like building
a church from the steeple downward.
The only way to reach the lower classes
is to begin with the primary schools.
But it is not to be argued that this in
novation will do no good whatever , nl-
thoucrh it may fail in its principal pur
pose. It will undoubtedly help many
who have passed through the
ordinary public schools to continue their
studies. It will arouse many who have
fallen asleep to renewed action. It will
stimulate interest in the other educa
tional institutions , such as libraries and
museums. But only when by com
pulsory education , or some other olllca-
cious method , all members of the work
ing classes are furnished with a good
elementary education , can university
teaching spread abroad and enlighten
the people as a whole. V. R.
