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.

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 owner of a certain cow In
West Roseburg wants to know If put
ting a bell on a cow licenses her to
run at large on the streets. 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. Perhaps It makes
a difference whose cow It Is, or It
may be that the Marshal's "hear-
