ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE GRAND VIZIER.
HOW HE 13 SELECTED BY THE SUL
TAN AND INSTALLED.
One of the Moat Striking Scenes Connected
With the Turkish Court Mo One Know
Who Is to Be Named Until the Last Mo
ment An Impressive Prayer.
The ceremony of "naming" the new
grand vizier is one of the most impress
ive sights imaginable, and as it has
seldom if ever been described an at
tempt to convey some idea of it may not
be without interest. It was toward 4
o'clock on Saturday afternoon that the
servants commenced to carry out from
Djevad Pasha's rooms at the sublime
porte his books, papers, pens and other
private paraphernalia. This was the
first intimation given to the world that
the grand vizier had fallen. Shortly aft
erward troops filed op the hill and lined
both sides of the road from the landing
stage at Sirkidjy to the doors of the
porte. The news spread like fire under a
wind, and by 6 o'clock all preparations
were completed for the reception of the
new occupant of the principal office in
the empire. In the great council cham
ber the scene was unique in its quiet dig
nity. The room was crowded with all
the high officials present and past, and
though an hour or two previously none
there had even guessed what was about
to happen each one took his place si
lently and regularly, without confusion
or mistake, awaiting the advent of the
still unknown chief.
At the head of the hall a small vacant
space was left, around which grouped
the present ministers and those who had
previously held portfolios. As each came
in he paced slowly up the carpet with
one short salute. As soon as he reached
the end all present returned the teme
na'a with a sweep of the hand to the
ground, breast, and forehead. This
rhythmical greeting, accentuated by the
movement of scarlet fezes in unison
with open hands, given in silence, and
in the dim, curtained light of the coun
cil chamber, defies adequate description
by the pen.
And then the newcomer returned the
salutes separately, beginning at the left
hand side, round the square of his col
leagnes, subordinates and superiors, and
one more candidate for the vizierate
was effaced, for nobody knew upon
whom the choice of the sultan had fall
en. Many names were whispered round,
but as their owners entered the circle of
greeting their chances were seen to be
extinguished. One after another they
followed on, till by a process of reduc
tion it became a question of only two or
three, all the rest of Turkey's statesmen
and all her greatest pashas having al
ready trodden the carpet and taken their
seats of expectation. Then from the
windows could be seen a small proces
sion winding up the ascent. In front
were two horsemen, he on the left a lit
tle man well known to all the watchers
in the chamber, and on the right the
Sheikh ul Islam, shining in the sunlight
with his robes of pure white and gold.
In the passing of a breath the name
of Eetchuk Said fluttered round the
room, and a few moments later the new
grand vizier, who had already thrice
gone through the same ceremony, was
standing in the center of the ministerial
group. There he drew from his breast a
green silk bag, and extracting from it
the imperial hatt he pressed the parch
ment to his lips and forehead. The dark
bearded sheikh repeated this homage to
the words of his imperial master, and
the hatt was handed to the evrak mu
diri, or keeper of the archives, who read
aloud that his imperial majesty the sul
tan, knowing the devotion, well proved,
of Said Pasha, intrusted to him the
duties of grand vizier, and that, having
full confidence in the piety of the Sheikh
ul Islam, he prolonged his term of of
fice, being anxious in all things for the
best welfare of his people, and might Al
mighty God bless their efforts toward
that end. Then again a wave of sweep
ing hands and bending heads went
round, and the sheikh, in full, deep
tones, offered up a prayer for the sultan
and the empire. In a moment the coun
cil chamber was transformed into a holy
place, and the politicians, pashas and
scribes, with upturned palms, seemed
to have forgotten for a space the world
and its vanities. It would be hard to
imagine anything more striking than
this prayer, amid such surroundings and
on such an occasion.
With it terminated the investiture.
The new grand vizier adjourned to his
room with his ministry for coffee and
a perfunctory cabinet council, and later
on the old and new viziers and min
isters repaired to Yildiz to pay their
first or last respects to their lord, Mean
while another hatt had arrived, chang
ing the occupant of the western wing of
the porte, for Said Pasha, who has been
minister for foreign affairs for nine
years, was bidden to vacate his famil
iar chair in favor of Turkhan Pasha.
Constantinople Letter.
Irving and Stoker.
Not many know how that talented
Irishman, Mr. Bram Stoker, came to be
associated with the fortunes of Sir
Henry Irving. It was in this wise. Sir
Henry, when on a visit to Dublin, was
invited to a supper party, and during
the course of the evening was induced
to recite in his thrilling way "The
Dream of Eugene Aram." One of his
auditors, a young man with a brilliant
reputation at Trinity college, was so af
fected by the tragedian's delivery that
he burst into tears. Henry Irving asked
the young man to call on him the next
morning, and then and there made him
an offer, which was accepted to the mu
tual advantage of both. The young man
was Mr. Bram Stoker. London Corre

EXPERT HOTEL ROBBER.
Be Believed Schuyler Colfax of Baft- Full
of Securities.
"Did yon ever hear of Charley Holt,
the prince of hotel thieves!" said Detect
ive James MoDevitt. "Well, I had two
encounters with that gentleman here in
Washington. My first experience was
brief and devoid of sensational incident.
"A guest in an up town hotel awoke
one night and saw a man going through
his clothes. He gave chase to the rob
ber, who dropped his booty, consisting
of a watch and several hundred dollars,
in the hallway.
"He managed to outrun his pursuer
and reached his room on an upper floor
unseen. The hotel people sent for me,
and after searching the register and
making some inquiries I went straight
to Holt's room end put him under ar
rest He accompanied me to headquar
ters without a nnirmur, but as we had
no proof against him he was let go, with
a warning never to show up again at the
capital
"He staid away three years, but the
next time he came he did a job of no
less magnitude than to rob the vice
president of the United States, Schuyler
Colfax, of (135,000 in bonds and se
curities. The robbery occurred at Worm
ley's hotel, between 5 and 6 o'clock, on
the evening of Feb. 22, 1869. I had
been to Alexandria that day and heard
of the affair as soon as I reached the
oity, about 9 p. m. The first thing I did
was to go to a restaurant keeper and ask
him if any crooked people were in town.
He replied that there was n party in the
badger line at a place on Tenth street,
near the old gas office. In company
with the chief of police I went to the
house and asked of the landlady if she
had any strangers stopping there. She
said yes, and on telling her our business
she admitted us into the parlor, where
a good looking young man was walking
the floor, apparently in a nervous con
dition. "Before we could say a word here
marked : 'I know who you are after.
Charley Holt has stolen a lot of bonds
belonging to the vice president. He told
me so himself and said he was nearly
scared to death when he found whose
property he had taken. You'll find the
Btuff in the express office, for he boxed
it all up and shipped it to Philadelphia
this evening.
Here was a revelation to take a
man's breath away. I never dreamed of
making such a swift capture. We went
to the express and got the securities
right enough without any trouble. It
would have been an easy matter to get
Holt, but Mr. Colfax, for some reason,
vetoed the proposition to catch him, and
he went scot free of that particular
crime. The fellow who told me was a
crook, but had nothing to do with the
transaction, and in consideration of the
'give away' was allowed to leave the
city with a warning." Washington
Post.
A LUCKY SNEEZE.
It Came Just In Time to Make 91.
X. a,
Spanish Minister.
The writer of "Secrets In Spain"
tells in the pages of The New Review
how ministers were sometimes made
under the regime of Queen Isabella of
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance is that of a man who was made
minister for sneezing.
The story is as follows: M. X. had
gone one day to pay a casual visit to
one of his friends. To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied.
"Excuse me," said he, "but I am very
busy today. But if yon have nothing to
do come along with me. " "Where are
you going?" "I have been summoned
to the palace. " They set off together.
At the palace one was conducted to the
presence of the queen, while the other
waited in the anteroom. There was a
lengthy sitting in the queen's cabinet,
a new ministry being in course of for
mation. It was very cold and drafty in the an
teroom, and the man who was waiting
began to grow very impatient, as he felt
a cold in the head coming on. "Whom
shall we appoint to the exchequer?
Whom to the Fomerto? Whom to the
war department?" asked the queen.
Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built np bit by bit There
was now only the colonial minister
to be appointed. "I must have a colo
nial minister, " said the queen. "Whom
shall we appoint colonial minister?' ' No
one conld be thought of. All at once a
loud sneeze was heard in the anteroom.
"Who is that sneezing in the anteroom ?' '
asked the queen. "M. X." "M. X. I
The very man the very man for the
colonial minister 1 Tell M. X. to come
in."
That is how M. X. became colonial
minister for having sneezed.
Keep Their Secret Well.
The French keep the secrets of their
ammunition wonderfully. Their powder
gives excellent results, but its composi
tion is still unknown, and their dyna
mite shells for the navy and field artil
lery have not yet been imitated by any
other country. The best French naval
experts believe that only quick firing
guns, using high explosive shells will
be of any use in the next naval engage
ment. They contend that these shells
will abolish armor, as armor tends to
increase the effect of bursting shelL The
first thing our now government will
have to do will be to provide our navy
with quick firing guns and shells that
shall be effectual. It is not denied that
in both these particulars the French at
the present moment are far ahead of us.

OXCE WORE CROWNS.
SEVEN EUROPEAN WOMEN WHO HAVE
LOST THEIR THRONES.
None of Them Wants. For the Comforts or
Even the Luxuries of Life, hut They Are
All Exceedingly Unhappy, So Tla Said.
Eeeentrle Ex-Queen Marie of Naples.
Although it cannot be pleasant to be
queen out of a job, there is oue thing
about it none of the ex-quoeus of to
day is in want so far as the comforts
and even the luxuries are concerned,
gave the luxury of a throne to sit upon.
As this, however, is the one luxury which
ex-queens are supposed most to desire,
it is likely that more or less unhaupi
ness is now the portion of the seven Eu
ropean women wno were out are not
royalties.
It is not easy to say which of these
women is most interesting. Eugenie,
the ex-empress of the French, has prob
ably had the most romantio and pictur
esque career, and probably also she is
most unhappy, since she is utterly with
out kin among reigning families and
mourns the death of a son, the prince
impeiial, who was killed in the English-Zulu
war, as well as that of a hus
band. Concerning this son it is stated
that when, driven to desperation by his
mother's constant repinings against fate,
he announced his design of going to
fight the Zulus, twoscore young French
men offered to go with him and act as a
guard of honor. This, however, was not
pleasing to the ex-empress, who said her
son must be protected as much but no
5.
MARIE SOPHIE, EX-QUEEJf OF NAPLES.
more than others, and there is no doubt
that now she blames herself for the
young man's death.
Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain, mother
of the Infanta Eulalia, who visited
America some years ago, lives comfort
ably in Paris on an income of $100,000
a year, and even now, though not far
from 60, sometimes behaves herself in
a manner that wonld be termed scanda
lous if she were of ordinary birth and
was declared outrageous by the infanta
while the latter was visiting her mother
recently.
The widow of the Emperor Frederick
of Germany, son of the great Emperor
William and father of the present em
peror of that name, is of spotless repu
tation, as are all the daughters of Eng
land's Queen Victoria. Perhaps her case
is most pathetic of all. She is a woman
of literary tastes and ability, of liking
for art, of much more than average
mental power, and her influence over
her husband during his life was potent
and for good. During all the later years
of the great William this woman looked
forward to the time when her husband
should be emperor and she should sit
with him upon the imperial throne,
only to really occupy it for the brief
timet that elapsed between his father's
death and his own from a deadly cancer.
An eccentric ex-queen is the widow
of Francis, who lost the throne of
Naples when Italy was unified, years
before his death. He was rich, and bis
wealth was so increased during his life
that she is even richer than they were
when they quitted Naples. Being of
economical habits, they lived for yeais
in furnished apartments in Paris. His
widow's name is Marie Sophie, and
she is the sister of the empress of Aus
tria and of the Duchess of Alencon. She
passes for a beauty, is tall, slender and
an accomplished horsewoman. It was
ber custom occasionally before her hus
band died to hire the Hippodrome,
where in the presence of only the ex
king and servants she used to appear in
the costume of a circus rider tights,
brief skirts and all and jump through
hoops, ride bareback at full speed and
perform all the other feats of profes
sional equestriennes. She is also a good
water woman and delights in boating,
being an adept both at the oars and the
management of a sailboat. She is clever
at repartee, and once, when her ac
quaintance was claimed by an old man
who said she had been his guest at a
hotel named the Crown, which he kept,
she retorted quickly : "Do you keep the
Crown? Well, you do better than I was
able to."
She intends soon to abandon the apart
ment in Paris where she lived with
the ex-king so long and then will go to
live with her sister, the empress of Aus
tria. Of the unhappy Empress Carlotta
of Mexico, who has been insane ever
since the tragedy that bereft her of both
throne and husband, the world only
knows that she is harmless; that her
hair has turned white, and that she is
ever looking for her Maximilian, whose
death she cannot be made to understand.
Natalie of Servia, the divorced wife
of ex-King Milan, seems always to have
enjoyed life as much since she quitted
the throne as before.
The empress dowager of Russia,
whose son is now the autocrat of that
country, is despondent and retiring, af
feoted by a nervous weakness which
came to her soon after the accident to
the imperial train, caused by a dyna
mite explosion planned by the nihilists.

Who Will do Ahead?
In tho history of the struKKlo of the

suffrage for women; write suffrage for

submitting to the Inevitable interview,
defends the position. "1 should havo nil

to attend the reception, " she says, "und
