Coolldgo, of Massa chusetts, as assistant secretary of the treasury. BERT HOLMES Architect and Builder Plans Specifications and Estimates Given. Satis faction Guaranteed Phone 1207 Rosebarg, Oregon This slavery of Turkish women coslsts not alone in bodily confine ment, but In the thousand Irksome forms of ertsralnt by which they are controlled, though to all appearances free. For Instance, In the matter of dress, the shape of the tcharchaff and the thickness of the veil to be worn on the street are decreed by a firman ot the Sultan himself. Neither fur nor any other kind of trimming may be used on street'garments, and defi ant wearers would render themselves liable to arrest by the police. Wo men man not walk or drive except tn pairs and attended by slaves, and must be IndoorB by sunset unless a carriage and armed kavass await them. Theatres, concerts, and - all public places of entertainment are ab solutely prohibited. On the return home the ladles of the house, the servant whose duty It is to go out with them gives the master a com plete compte-rendu of every place to which they have been. Of course, as the slaves move freely about their mistresses, listening to and watching all that goes on, they are admirably fitted for this sort of domestic espion age. The women are not even allow ed to lock the doorB to their sleeping apartments, and have no hole or cor ner where they may retire from the phylng eyes of slaves. And all the letters that come to the ladles of a Turkish household are handed first to the master, who himself dlstrlb utes them after having taken stock of any particular one that whets his curiosity. To such absurd lengths Is this pol icy of seclusion and supervision car ried that the mistress of tbe house settles her accounts with the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick mak er through a revolving cupboard at the kitchen door, behind which the lady Bits with a muslin veil thrown over ber face, lest, perchance, the purveyors of comestibles and com bustibles catch even a temporary glimpso of her features. Bandow in Harem. No one who has not dwelt In that mysterious land can have any concep tion of the jealous care with which Turkish women are guarded on every occasion. When Sandow visited Tur key he was engaged by a wealthy pasha to give lessons in physical cul ture to the women of his harem. When the modern Sampson was ush ered into tbe baremlik, however, he found the room where the lessons were to be given divided across the middle by a high screen of mushra- bleb work, through the carved Inter stices of which the women could watch his every movement without being themselves visible. He was instructed to take up bis position in the brilliantly lighted space In front of the screen, and a dozen or more women followed his exercises, gesture by gesture, from the other side of the lattice work, without his being aware of their presence save by the rustle of their garments. Two gigantic eun uchs, with drawn swords, never took their eyes from him during the whole performance. Secrecy In Bathing. During the summer months the wealthy Turkish families usually close their town houses and take up their summer residences In the pal aces which line the shores of the Bos phorus or dot the Princes Islands in the Sea of Marmora. At these times the women of the harems Indulge for several hours each day In the luxury of sea-bathing, being guarded during their ablutions by armed attendants who peremptorily warn off all Intrud ers. Izzet Pasha, the late secretary ot the Sultan, now a fugitive In Eng land, even went to the extent of mak lug tbe women of his harem bathe In a great wooden cage, half submerged in the sea, so that by no possibility could a man reach tbe Immediate vi cinity of the fair bathers, even Dy swimming under water. The gardens leading from the pasha's country house down to the bathing beach ran side by side with those ot a fashion able hotel frequented by foreigners during the summer months. One morning, as the women of the harem thinking themselves unobserved were making their way to the bath house, somewhat more scantily clad than usual, they discovered, perched on an upper balcony of the hotel which overlooked the pasha's garden a young Russian who was Indus triously taking snapshots of them with a hand camera. Their cries of alarm summoned one of the pasha Albanian kavasses, who, learning th cause of the disturbance, drew his revlover and, levelling It full at tho Russian, ordered him to throw down the camera, plats and all. The Rus sian started to temporize, but the ammer clicked ominously, and the camera came crashing down at the feet of the kavass. Had there been an instant's longer delay there would nqueationably have been a dead Russian in Prluklpo, for these Al banian servants are fanatics of tried ferocity, who are pledged to give their lives in avenging an Insult to the ladles of their master's harem. Chickens Wanted at the McClallen Hotel HIGHEST CASHPRICEPAID sharp mm Jury Cannot Agree, However, i Verdict as to Coopers END OP A USEFUL CAREER. SENT BACK BY. TOE COURT George T. Angel), a man who has devoted his life to spreading the gos pel of humane treatment for all dumb animals, died tn Boston yesterday at the ripe age of 86 years. His little publication, "Our Dumb Animals," as been a most welcome visitor to our desk for 20 years, and during that time we have seldom failed to spend some time In looking over the contents of each number, impressed with the sincerity of its aged editor, and In sympathy with the kindly spirit that prompted a lifetime de voted to the creatures who are un able to plead their own cause. "Our Dumb Animals," with Its beautiful pictures, has appealed to every per son who ever loved a dog, horse or cat, or who has revelled In the Joy that the Bong and chatter of the wild blrdB convey to the responsive soul of nature lover. Only the other dav. on Mr. Angell's SCth birthday, it was written on his career: The activities, wold-wlde, which center in this gentle, white-haired man of 86, are in extent and power most beyond reckoning. What may not a man or woman, setting out without money or rich or Influential friends, achieve If animated by a noble and great purpose? One gazes with awe, almost, at this old man, spare and tall, long past the allotted age of man, yet keenly alive and plan ning new conquests, which, by the grace of God, he Is likely to see added to his already wonderful list. Mr. Angell Is Btlll the dominating force of the two societies whose foun dations he laid and whOBe work he has ever since directed tho Massa chusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Ameri can Humane Education Society. "Mr. Angell is a lawyer by profes sion. He was born In Southbrldac. ., and starting as a poor boy. he worked his way through college, at tending Brown university one year and the three succeeding years at Dartmouth, .graduating In 1846. He then taught school, at the same time reading law, and in 1851 was admit- iea 10 me oar. 'from boyhood, says Mr. Angell, "I had a great love for animals and I could not ear to see tnem surfer. 1 have always believed that the solution of such a problem Is eaucation rather than prosecution. "Ot societies, notably tho New York society, lay strees upon prosecu tlon as a means of prevention of cruelty, but the Amerlcnn Humane Education Society, as its name Im piles, believes In the educational method of implanting the principles or mercy. This is the brief and simple stnrv of George T. Angell's life a flsliter in a great cause In which there was no reward except the sntlBfnctlon of mind and conscience that comes to him who Is ever the chnmnlon of right. Ex. Case Has Exhausted Treasury, and New Jury Could Not be Secured For , a Long Time - I fense did not claim that Col. Cooper fired the shots. It maintained that Robin Cooper, believing his fathor'B life in danger, fired upon Carmnck to protect his sire, and It was con tended that young Cooper stood else where than behind Carmack. On the witness stand, Colonel Cooper testified that he brought Car mack to Nashville many yearB ago as an editorial writer for his newspaper. Their relations were friendly until four years ago, when the witness es poused the cause of Robert Taylor against Carmack for United States senator and Taylor was elected. Sharp was tried as an accomplice of the Coopers, It having been alleg ed that he incited the tragedy. Special to the Eveulng Review. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 19. After being out for nearly 48 hours, the jury in the Carmack murder case; returned a .verdict of acquittal for John B. Sharp and announced to the court that It could not agree upon verdict as to Col. Duncan Cooper and his son, R.obtn Cooper. . Tho court discharged Sharp and sent the Jury back to deliberate further on the case of tbe CooporB. . . The trial of this noted case has been one ot the costliest In the his tory of Tennessee. . Already all the available county funds nre exhausted. The killing of Carmack, who was a former United States senator, was the outgrowth ot a bitter political feud, "which involved many prominent men In the state, if the jury is dis missed the case could not be retried for a long time owing to the difficulty that would be encountered in getting another jury. The killing of Carmack occurred last November. Carmack was the editor of a local newspaper, and his editorial criticisms of Col. Cooper arc alleged to havo led to the tragedy, which resulted In his death. Be sides serving his state In the United States senato, Carmack was last year a candidate for governor, and was defeated in the primaries by Gover nor Patterson nfter the hottest cam paign Tennessee has ever known. He represented tho radical wing of the Democratic party, which Is seekin? to bring about stntc-wlde prohibition Carmack was shot down on the street and it is alleged that the fatal shot was fired by Robin Cooper, a young attorney, in the presenco of his father, who stood by, revolver in hand, but did not lire. At the trial, tho defense asserted that Senator Carmnck fired first. The state contended that Senator Car mack, with his hat raised to greet a lady, was shot from behind. This, however, did not entirely disprove the theory of the defense. Even the de- THE WINNING METHOD "The magnitude ot our business Is naturally a source of gratification to us.

Ills own cow sneaked away from 111 in and was picked up by the proper officer and ushered to the pound, while another "bossy," nearby, wearing a hell, wos left at the feast.
