I'nctR AliiMtt "tliF "deceit *
trie" Hetty Ilrccn.
Mrs. Hetty Green , one of tlio most eccentric -
centric as well an tlio richest woman In
America , has started a periodical sensation
by suddenly disappearing from licr favorite
liaunts In llrooklyn , N. Y. Mrs. Green docs
not crave notoriety by any means , ami her
disappearances cxclto local curiosity chiefly
on account of her pccullararlty In ferreting
out cheap boarding houses.
U Is pretty well knoun that Mrs. Green
lias a private fortune estimated nt $60,000-
000 , and yet Is so economical as to live on
$7 n week.
Until n fo\v days ago her address Was 89
I'lcrrcpont street , Brooklyn , which Is a
hoarding house kept by Mrs. A. ] . Doiita.
Hecently she became alarmed over the fact
that her residence became known , and she
suddenly departed , leaving no Information
as to her future address. It Is alleged that
the day before her sudden disappearance
Mrs. IJontu received on anonymous letter
Informing her that a plot had been hatched
looking to the abduction of Mrs. Green by
Now York crooks , who Intended to hold her
for heavy ransom. The abduction was to
bo accomplished at night , tlio desperadoes
having arranged to chloroform their victim
after quietly breaking Into her room , The
landlady urged Mrs. Green to ask for police
protection , but was laughed at for her pains
at first. On reflection , however , It Is said
that Mrs. Green did secure the services of
two special guards , who , until Mrs. Green
left tlio I'lcrrcpont street boarding house ,
never relaxed their vigilance night or day ,
She would have left the place at once but
found It necessary to stay for a day or twofer
for business reasons.
Mrs. Green went to the boarding house a
few weeks ago without sending the landlady
iVarnfng and engaged the rear hall bedroom
on the third lloor , which Is the lowest priced
room In the house Just about the sort ot
quarters i dry goods clerk earning $20 a
week might be expected to occupy. It Is
about big enough to hold the furniture , and
that's all. The single window affords a view
of the back yard , a tumble-down carpenter
shop and the alley In the rear , which Is
named , Inappropriately enough , Love lane.
Very llttln view and very little light came
to Mrs. Green through this window , because
she always kept the outside blinds tightly
closed. In addition to the old-fashioned
catch , she had fastened these blinds with n
piece of clothesline , so that the most daring
burglar with a scaling ladder could not enter
without the assistance of an ax.
ATE HEIl MEALS IN TUB KITCHEN.
Mrs. Green ate her merit's In the kitchen ,
for the very good reasonthat , Mrs. Donta
refused to allow tlio : richest woman in
America to sit at the dinlug room table with
the other boarders dresseijl as she Is now
and has been for many years. Shabby la
tlio only word that depcrlb'e's Hetty Green's
appearance. The few , bpa'rders who were
allowed to meet her and the domestics In
the house say , too , that Sirs. Green Is un
tidy. She Is not parUcuLTf about keeping
tlio buttons sewed on her shoes. She Is
her own laundress , a.ml f.ho washed her
stockings and handkerchjefp and things in
her own little hall bedroom , and dried them
on the back of her single cane-bottomed
chair or on the towel rack , , Then , too , Mrs.
Green seldom looks In | t.he mirror when she
Is dressing , and aUono-tlmo , when she were
u little patch of curled hair that women call
a "falsq , fropt" she used toicmmp It on > hcr
head most anywhere aiidfUion put her bon
net on over It. Sometimes , says the Now
York World , this false front would bo Just
above the left eye , or away over on the
other side of the head , instead ot exactly In
the middle , where It should have been.
Mrs. Green Is constantly haunted by a
dread of begging letters and newspaper
men and , with a view ot concealing her ad
dress. Is In the habit of constantly changing
her quarters. A much more Important con
sideration , however , Is that by living the
life of a roving hermit she affords herself
an excuse for refusing to pay taxes on her
personal property. Whenever a tax col
lector is fortunate enough to locate her

she Rends him away otnpty-lmnded on
the ground that she Is a nonresident of
the city or county or state , Iteliig on the
move so frequently , Mrs. Orcen has nerer
purchased a trunk ; expressmen's charges
nro extortionate. When she leaves one
boarding house and takes up her temporary
home at another , she lugs small package )
wrapped In newspapers from the old
home to the now for several days before
the transfer. She has a small carpet bag ,
very old-fashioned , which sometimes serves
as a receptacle for bonds nnd securities en-
route from n lawyer's ofllco to the bank , ami
just as frequently holds n pair ot rubber
boots which Mrs. Orcen has picked tip at a
bargain. She \\ears rubber boots In real
stormy weather.
SAVING OF CAH FARE.
At T o'clock In the morning she got up
while living at Mrs. Donta's hotlpo , dressed ,
tnado her own bed , locked the door ot her
little room and descended to the kitchen by
about 7:15 : , Hreakfast for the other lioardera
Is by this tlmo In course of preparation
nnd Mrs. Green drew n chair up to n
plain kitchen table. Then .sho helped
herself to such food as she wanted , always
waiting upon herself , because , as she says ,
that saves to the landlady BO much of the
servant's time. Her meal concluded , she
put on n jacket which cost $1.90 , walked
out through the rear yard Into Henry street ,
and started for Now York. Only In the
stormiest weather docs Bho tains the cars
cither to or across the big bridge. Tightly
clutched In her hand was n black bag , which
sometimes contains securities nnd other
papers of. enormous value. Her ofllco Is In
the Chemical bank , of which she Is ono ot
the largest stockholders , her stock In that
famous Institution being the only property
she does not "swear oft" during her an
nual encounter with the commissioner
of taxes and assessments. She always has
three or four millions ready cash In the
bank , the vaults of which contain a magnlfl-
cent collection of diamonds which she owns ,
besides about $25,000,000 In government
bonds , mortgages nnd securities. Mrs.
Green takes her lunch at the bank , getting
It for nothing there , being such a heavy
stockholder , and thus saving the extra $1
a week which she would have had to pay
by lunching at the Brooklyn boarding houso.
In the matter of lunches , Mrs. Green
strongly resembles Hussell Sage , who takes
his dally at the Western Union building ,
getting It for nothing by virtue of being n
director In the big telegraph company. Not
until G o'clock did she leave the bank anil
return to Hrooltlyn , and half an hour later
she was eating dinner In the kitchen. By
9 o'clock she was in bed ,
DHKSSED IN SATIN AND DIAMONDS.
Mrs. Green's costly collection of diamonds ,
which she keeps In her strong boxes , was
not accumulated because she expected at
any time to wear the gems herself. She
buys diamonds purely as an Investment , Just
as she buys real estate. Tiny holes were
drilled In her cars at an early age , and oc
casionally sha wears a pair of earrings which
she Ins had for nearly fifteen years. They
are of the sort known as "Rhinestones , "
and the bits of glass are backed by pieces ot
silver foil , which make them even moro
brilliant than their natural crystal. This bit
of Jewelry cost 73 cents.
So much mystery has for years sur
rounded the life of this remarkable woman
that the fact of her having a husband only
recently became known to the general pub
lic. Ho Is Edward II. Green , a very largo
nnd very tall man , who constantly chews
tobacco , and who may be found almost any
day at the Union club , I'ifth avenue. Ho
had u fortune once and lost It In Bpecula-
tlon , and now his wlfo makes him an allowance -
lowanco from her enormous wealth. When
they were married there was an agreement
that neither was over to have any Inter
est In the other's estate. Bellows Falls ,
Vt. , Is the birthplace of Mr. Green , and Mrs.
Hotly frequently goes there , because she
owns or holds mortgages on numerous parcels -
cols of property there. Among other things
she owns the toll-gate privileges , and when
she rusticates In the little Vermont vlllago
half her time Is spent at the toll oltlce
watching the pennhs come In as teams and
pedestrians pass through. The woman of
many millions calls this renting , but It Is
business as well , because once , when she
hart reason to believe that the toll-gato
keeper was "knocking down , " Mrs. Green
summarily discharged the old man In the
mlddlo of the day nnd took toll herself for
several hours intll she had hired another
gatak2epcr. When Mrs. Green visits there
she stops at Town's hotel. For some rea
son , probably because of the many mort
gages which she 1'olds In the neighborhood ,
she is not popular nt tlio hotel. Ono sum
mer's day two or three years ago the
guests were Inspecting a now sausage ma
chine vvhtch some one had brought to the
village and to their Intense delight the pro-
prlelor of the hotel produced a scarecrow
dim ny , which Lcre seme resemblance to a
woman and which was labeled "Hetty
Green. "
AmlJho uproarious laughter of the en
tire party this dummy was stuffed Into the
hopper of the sausage machine and It came
out of the little end in llrks. While every
body was enjoying the joke hugely Mrs.
Green walked up on the hotel porch. She
noticed that among those who laughed the
loudest an I the longest was the owner of
the hot.il. She pretended to enjoy the joke
as well as anyone clso , but the next day she
foreclosed a mortgage on the house and It
changed proprietors within a week.
A TRAGEDY OF TUB STRIP. .
Wo was on the Chcrokco strip , Jim an'
mo , an' as near as wo could muko out the
location , was about twenty mile hotUh o *
Porry.Va was inaltln' n sort o' prospcctln *
tour , looUin' for settlers thet lied got sick
o' thar barglns an' wanted t' sell out.
The horse I was rldlu' was es purty a
little roan mare cs over was bridled , an' ,
though she'd carry'd me an' my blanket an'
a bag o' feed twenty miles or better , her
load wan light os a feather , cs she cantered
along fcoveral yards ahead o' Jim , whose
horse 'pearod kinder Jaded served him
right , too , I'd warned him agin tradln' for
I knowod ho was glttln' cheated. I could
see with half an eye thot the animal was
blow an * Rhort-wlndcd. Hut Jim got sort
o' riled an' 'lowed thet I'd no call t' inter
fere fcr ho was cs good u Jodgo o' hnr.so
Dealt os ony other man , an' thet a black
horse allus lied nioro spirit then a bay or n
roan. An' after thet back-slap at my llttlo
mare I jcs shot up an' let him do his own
Sure enough when wo started out thet
mornln' Jim's black pranced along holdln' ills
head cs high es ef ho thought ho was
bloodod. Hut before two hours rolled by
ho begin t1 lag , an * I could see by Jlm'H way
o' Jerkin' the bits thet ho wasn't in a por-
ticular good humor.
Well , thet strip o' country was about cs
dosoluto n spot o' this hero earth os over 1
want t1 net eyes on agin thar'd been a
pralrio flro the night afore an' burned a
clean swoop o' ovorythln' In sight. Thar
wasn't a blade o1 green loft. The ground
wan covered with line , black ashes nn'
cinders , thot flow through the air with
every gust o' hot wind , sort o' bllndln' a
feller's eyes an' gltln' Inter his throat ,
makln' It feel all choked an' parched like.
An' cs for tlio way wo looked ! No chimneysweep
ney-sweep could bo sootier nor Jim , an'
though I wasn't carryln' a lookln' glass , I
reckon I was 'pearln' no hotter. An' how
the September mm did bluzo down on thot
prairie. Why't couldn't bin hotter 'n July.
I about wlHhcd I'd n-fctaynd back In ol' MIs-
soury , fer It tuck a purty good stretch o'
mind t' pletur slcli a bleak land Inter well
tended farms , with coinfortablo housas an'
barns. To bo sure , wo'd not bin expcctln'
them things to bo a-waltln' fer us t' step
inter perncBslon of all t' once. Hut durncd
ef the prospcc' all round , fcr as the uyo
could eoe , wasn't enough t' make a feller
homo sick. Hut tlmra nothln' Ilko rldln'
horseback t' make a man hungry , an' OH the
sun was a uhlnln * right In the middle of llui
sky an' wo 'pearcd to bo walkln1 on our
ahaddora I naterly concluded 'twas tlmo t'
stop an' feed the homes an' rnako a meal on
the corn broad an' beacon tied up in n bag
haiigin' at the pommel of my saddle. I
slowed up c Jim rode 'long side an * asked
him what he thought o' utoppln' .
"Suit yor elf ol' boy , " net he , "but 'taint
much comfort t' man or beast t * cat un' no
water. Hut what's thet way yonder ? " pint-
In' his linger an * fairly Htralnln' hU eye f

ol' gray horse brows'Tn Its nose In the burnt
grass , tryln' t' flint n llttlo blade o' green ,
Wo'd mndo the run , Jim an' me , saino as
the rest o' the "sooncrs , " an' now I toll yo
wo'd seen some tough sights. Hut dtimcd
cf wo was lookln' fcr eny tragedy way out
on thet lonesome pnilrlo. Hut close I * tlio
horse , Inyln' on the ground , was the body of
a man.Vo thought ho was dead , Hut es
wo rode up an' jumped oft our horses , ho
opened his oycs an' a heavy groan told us
ho was sulTcrln' . Wo didn't say a word ,
Jim nn' mo , but Jest tuck our blankets mi'
made n bed , usln' my coat for a plllcr , then
llftln' the poor feller we laid htm on It , nn'
as good luck would hev It , Jim lied a Mask
o' corn Juice , nn' piittln' It t' the man's
mouth-Jim told him f swallow a sip. then
If he hod enough strength f glvo some kind
0 account of the bad fix he was In.
Ho coughed a little an' n few dropi o'
blood stnluod his white lips , which went to
show ho was blcodln' Internal. Ho pressed
his tremblnr hand upon his breast an' said :
.Mary an' Hen N dead burned up In the
cursed nro. " An' two big tears rolled outer
his pycs an' trlnklcd down his beard. "An1
1 hope ef God lies any mercy loft I'll soon
bo whar they hov gone. An' maybe now
'
you'll carry the tidings back to Mary's folks.
I hadn't the grit f llvo any longer , an' input
t send n bullet right through my broken
heart. Hut my hand shook so I missed the
spot. . Hut It's In tlio lungs. I feel the
blood n gurglln' at cacli breath , an' I know
thet In a few more hours my spirit will

started out with n mortgage on the place ,
thlnkln1 to lift It easy. Hut times got harder
nn harder , so hearln' of the opeiitn' of the
Cherokee strip , wo made up our minds ( o
sell the farm for what wo could , pay the
debts , an' with what was left start llfo over
again , fair an' square with the world.
"Wo didn't hov much when wo got all set

family when we started In our covered wagon
bound fcr Oklahoma.
Mary , light-hearted as

keepln1 right on to the south , reachln' this
spot on the night of the 13th. Mary argled
considerable agin locatln' a claim here , belli'
allus sort o' superstlclous about the 13lh. Dut
I laffcd her out o' slch n foolish notion , es I
called It. That night little Hen was takln'
awful sick with fever. Wo 'tended him
careful , but the next day an' night ho kept
glttln1 worse. Mary was dreadful worried ,
an' nothln' would do her but I must go to the
nearest station an' git oomo medicine. I
never wanted to leave 'cm , Knowin' as 1
did thet we was on the land too soon. Dut
llstnln' to her plcadln' 1 took ol' Kit an'

"An1 then the. poor feller broke clean
down agin an' cried at rcmemheiln' the
parthi' . Dut , after swallowln' n llttlo moro
whisky , ho wanted to tell us the rest. It
'peared to case his mind t' talk , an' wo lis
tened , knowln' It could not be long.
"Somehow I lost my way comln' back , an'
was gone longer 'n I expected , but when I
struck the llttlo crick , I was sure I was on

thing ct might bo In Its path , my heart sunk
heavy as n chunk o' lead when I called to
mind thet I'd forgot t' burn n flre-guard
'round Mary an' Hen. I turned ol' Kit's
head nn' started t' go back , but c.ilculatln'
the distance I'd come , I was sure the flro
was miles away from my wlfo an' baby , nn'
Shep , the ol' yaller dog , I'd left t' Natch 'cm ;
fcelln' satisfied I headed 'round agin fer
I'erry , sayln' to myself. In case o' fire ,
Mary's Jlst the ono t' make fer the crick ,
though I know It's no need o' worryln' , an'
Dens' too sick fer me to lose any tlmo a
foolln' . The wind was blowln' from the east
an' the flro kept crccpln' further an' further
to the west. How I pitied the poor campers
It might como outer In the night unawares ,
never thlnkln' but my own must be safe.
It's human nature to believe thet fate will
bo kind t' them wo love.
"By 12 thet night I'd got the medicine an'
started on my way back , gulden myself os
well es I could by the light o' the stars.
When mornlif como an' I seen the way n
llttlo plainer , I was close I' the spot where
I'd left Mary an' llttlo Den In tlio covered
wagon. Dut flro lied been to visit them I
first. The ground was black an' desolate. !
With shakln' hands an' falntln' heart I
hunted through the pllo o' ashes where the
wagon lied been standln' . Nolhln' was tluir
but a few pieces o' iron , not oven a trace o'
their flcshloss hones.
" 'Merciful God ! ' I cried , 'whcrn .nro tlmv ?
my wife ! my child ! ' An' all the answer I
could git was thet" raisin' on ono elbow ,
on' plntln' t' the heap o' ashes "How
could I llvo an' lose 'em , so I" then a
mouthful o' blood welled up , an' ho fainted
dead away.
Now Jim nllus bed a lot o' goo ( ' conunorv
Bciibo , an' 'lowed tlio poor wretch might pull
through with a doctor's help , an' ended by
Bayln' : "Dob , cf you'll stay hoie I'll take
the roan mare an' he back quick es I'm able
t' fetch somebody. "
I said "Vcs , " an' without another word ,
only handln' mo the brandy , Jim Jumped on
my horse an' rode off ,
I put some feed on the ground close to ol'
Kit. She nas blind In ono eye , but I
never see a moro grateful look then thet
critter gin mo out o' the tether one. An 1
was bendln * down over the wounded man
try'n t' force a drop o' liquor between his
set teeth , 1 felt n cold touch on my hand
an' glancln' 'round thar was a yellcr dog ,
his nose agin my hand nn' his hair nil HOP-
pln' wet , ho was pantln' hard , e.s cf ho'd
run a long raco. An' wasn't I still mor'n
surprised to sec some oilo comln' a fool half
a mile away In the direction ot the crick.
Watchln' It close I seen It was n woman nn'
comln' nearer , 1 H.IW she was cairyln'
Bomothln' yes , n baby. And then I went
to meet her. The first word she said wan ,
"Where Is Dill ? "
I didn't need to osk who she was. I only
answered. "Como with me. " an' I tried to
take the baby.
"No ! No ! she cried , holdln' It like a vise ,
a crazy look comln' Inter her cyc cs she
strained It to her breast. The wounded
man como tn just long enough t' call her
Mary an' t' see thet ulu > mill lived. Stretch-
In' out his hand ID llttlo Don , It fell power
less ct his side , his glusby , bloodshot cyos
stared open wide an' Dill was dead.
Abandonln * her bubo nln > throw herself
upon the ground bet > lde him , rallln * him
back to life , klssln' the blood-stained lips
ag'in air ag'in. stroldn the Ktlllcnin' hands
an' wIndia' her arms 'round him cs ef I'
warm by her great luvo Uhc death-chilled
form.
I picked up the child. I found him cold
an' Htlff. He , lee , was dead bed bcun for
hours , I Bhould jcdge. So when Jim cmuo
back , brlugln' two mon nlong to help , 'twas
too lato.
Out thar on thet black pralrlo wo dug n
shallow grave , lay'n Dill In an' llttlu Hen
upon his breast. Wo all kneeled down an'
one o' the men whispered a prayer , but I
reclton the good Lord didn't tnko much in
trust In what was goln' on In thet bleak
spot , for when. , Mary see 'em klvcred up
outon her sight ferover , nlio bhrlokod es cf
her nry'd pierce the very sky , an' then
wont rarln' crazy.
Wo lied t' bind her handu , poor mortal
lender OBo could.
Hnw did she escape the flro ? Why , Nho
must have gone to the crick.
From letters found In Hill's pocket wo got
the address n' their folks , nnd her old father
como down to 1'crry an' tuck her homo.
Hut her mind wan clean gone.
Wasn't It a pity she didn't go to root 'long-
sldo o' Dill an' little Den ?

Ilotwcen the fact of one human being kill *
Ing another and the judicial net pronouncing
It murder there Is many n step and many u
slip ; which explains , perhaps , why It Is that ,
although the number of persons convicted ot
murder Is decreasing , the number of those
accused thereof Is Increasing. In the I'nltnl
Status , on an average , nearly 10 per cent nt
nil the prisoners confined In our jails , at ally
ono time , are charged with humlcldo.
As to these criminals , statistics bring out
many Interesting and oven curious facts ,
s.iys the Philadelphia Times. It Is generally
supposed that the foreign riff-raff dumped
upon our shores day by day Is responsible
for most of the brutal and reckless attempts
to taUo life. The facts art' , however ,
that considerably over half of nil homi
cides In this country committed byhlto
men and women are chargeable to the
native-born Americans and only a trlllo over
10 per cent to the foreign element ; and ot
tlicso foreign murderers nearly half nro
naturalized , and less than 2Q per cunt of
them arc unable to speak any Kugllsh. For-
tunatcly , however , nearly all of their killing
Is ( lotto upon their fellow countrymen and
most of It IH brought about by a doslro for
personal or racial revenge or In family and
clique quarrels and not for private gain or
love of human blood.
The negro race furnishes most of our na
tive murderers , and their homicides surpass
those of any civilized race for brutality and
low dastardly motives. Their homicides
constitute nearly half of all the homicides ,
native or foreign , and the number of con
victions and dc.ith punishments for murder
In the first degree Is larger by far among
them than among the foreigners. The
Chinese and Indians also furnish inure than
their relative Minro ot homicides.
Murderers are not usually Illiterate. The
majority of them can read and write , except
in the case of negroes , loss than half of
whom can do cither , and of the Indians only
a very few have any cdtic.itlon or even civ
ilization at all. Among the foreigners
charged with the crime three out of every
four nro entirely illiterate. Very few of
those charged have had any higher or ad
vanced education the percentage being
about 3.-ir . Nearly all of them have no
trade or life occupation , especially among
the native murduiors the foreigners usually
having had some adopted means ot liveli
hood before emigrating. The negroes are al
most without exception shiftless , lazy and
bestial.
One of the most curious facts Is the largo
number of farmers guilty of homicide. The
farmer Is usually supposed to bo tractable
and peace-loving. Yet out ot all homicides
In any ono year It will bo found that nearly
one-third of them arc committed by farmoni.
It Is even claimed by sonic that contact with
the soil nrousos n love for blood. The pro
fessions furnish about' one or two out of a
hundred , the officeholders about ono for every
I'OO , and the Ushers about ono for every SOU.
Unskilled labor Is credited with most , agri
culturists como next , manufactures and me
chanical Industries follow , and then In their
order of criminality come personal and house
servants , railroad , and htc.imshlp people ,
trade and commerce , mining , professional ,
olllclal , lumber and miscellaneous.
To the everlasting honor of womanhood bo
it IH said Unit out of all homicides men commit
nt least [ 15 per cent of I hem , and women not
over over 6 or G per cent , and of these the
vast majority nro by lewd and abandoned
women. , And of the men It Is found , natur
ally enough , that nearly one-half of them nro
bachelors.
Men are never too old to murder. Tlio
average Is fond to bo about 33 years , ex
cept among I ho Chinese , where the nvcraga
Is higher. Twenty per cent are under 2 , * ) ,
and a few are over the scriptural three Kcora
and ten. The average ago of women Is over
32 , and that of negroes Is about HO.
The figures ulwo dispel the popular delu
sion that Idleness Is crime's great workshop ,
as over three-fourths ot all persons charged
with homicide were employed nt the time ot
the crime. Nor does liquor play the ull-
imnortant nart usually attributed to It. Lesi
than one-fifth of all homlcldeii are found to
bo Inveterate drinkers , while fully aa largo
a number nro found to bo total abstainers.
Over SO per cCnt have been found to bo In
good physical health , and very row have
shoun any striking marks of physical atav
ism or degeneration.
In spite of tlio fact that a majority ( if < hn
murderers have homo sort of education. It l.s
nevertheless noticeable that the. crime In a
broad generalization reaches Its highest per
centage among the iinedunntcd and Illiterate.
In the state of Texas , for example , ono mur
der occurs to every 8,500 Inhabitants. In Illl-
nolH the percentage fulls to one murder for
every fiO.OQO , whlla in Massachusetts It falls
fur below this.
Compared with other nations , the United
States , In spite of Us different elements and
Its want of uniform police protection , Is not
remarkable for the number ot Its murders.
Italy and Spain arc much more murderous
nations. In I < S7f > Italy abolished capital
punishment , and It Is claimed that murders
Increased 42 per cent. In the United Stales
only tin eo states have abolished the death
penally Hhodo Island. Michigan and Wis
consin with what conscquoncon It Is yet Im
possible to tell.
Murder Is often the result ot a sort ot
epidemic of crime that Htilkos a community
ono murder frequently bringing on another ;
but generally It Is the product of a general
lack of clvlll/allon. Whenever a Ktnto or
government Is In a stale of demorali/atlon
and disorganization murder U bound to In
crease , unless such tendency Is cnuntonutel
by jitrang religious Influences. Thus Turkey
Is notoriously untettleil In all Its temporal
affairs , and yet , thanks to the strong lolam
faith of Its people , It IH notortoiiHly freti

man.
