These are dazzling, brilliant times
In Turkey. It seems almost an ago t
miracles. One ilay a tyrant at the
head of the government; the next, a
constitution, with free press, free
speech and unveiled women. One
day the prisons full of political pris
oner; the next, the prisoners liber
ated ami the spies In full flight.
' As n sign of the marvelous times
for Turkey at hand, the tomb of
Mahomet, at Medina or, at any rate,
the Mosque, which Is believed to en
shrine the tomb has been lighted
wilii electricity. Imagine It Mo
hammed and electric llKht!
liut this Is not all. Almost out of
nothiiiK, the Turkish sultan, Abdul
llamld take notice! has construct
ed a railway 600 miles long, thrown
It across the sandy desert, and linked
iJumascus with Medina, on the route
to Mecca, surmounting overwhelming
difficulties on the way, warding off
dangers, and achieving success In the
shortest possible time, In a year the
railway will be completed, and trains
will carry the faithful to the holy
city of Mecca, with conductors crying'
out: "Meceu! Mecca!" Surely
tunes chaise.
If Mahomet could come again
what would he think of these- modern
miracle, electric light over his tomb
and passenger trains carrying the
faithful to Mecca?
Dream Now Hcallty.
Ten years ago experienced and
shrewd observers laughed at the rail
road Idea. A mere cloud-castle, they
called it, a fitting occupation for an
Indolent Oriental lounging In his har
em, or languidly watching the curling
cloudlets rise from his chibouk and
vanish Into thin air. a
Hut now the sultan's dream has be
cone a hard reality. The American
tourist In Paris can set out on his
Journey at the Gare do l'Est and quit
tho railway coach In the very heart
of the Hedjaz, of the Isthmus which
Is the center of three continents, the
cradle of three religions, those of Je
hovah, Christ and Mohammed.
It Is Interesting to note, however,
that the sultan's adviser In this road
building scheme was the alleged re
doubtable king of spies and weaver of
plots, Izzet. It Is asserted that the or
iginal scheme, and largely, too, its
execution, may be rightfully claimed
by this trapper of men.
The tnot.ves of Abdul Hainld In
building the Hedjaz railway were sel
fili and patriotic, private and nation
al. The hold of the dynasty on the
country in general and on the sacred
plans in particular, needed strength
eniiiif; then- the Interests of the em
pire had to be consolidated; and, fi
nally, the claims of religon had to be
considered
lletweeii Turk and Arab there is no
love lost. Sway over the Arab tribes!
goes together with the possession of
the shrines of Mecca und Medina. In j
lutu.e, Willi the railway, the govern-!
nient will probably be able to defend
the holy cities effectually and keep
the Arabs In order Indefinitely, per-1
Imps permanently. Anarchy and rail-'
ways are expected to prove Incom
patible even In Turkey. with the
railway completed, ottoman troops
can be thrown Into rebellious districts
to quell a rising as soon as It bleaks
out.
Heslro to IVny.
Kvery Mohammedan Is animated by
ft powerful desire to bow down and
pray In the Kaaba square, In the city
of Mecca, which was a holy place
long before Islam was heard of. To
day Mecca Is visited by tens of thou
sands of Moslems from the farthest
ends of the earth. Hut considered In
relation to the number of Moslems on
the globe Hut) millions all told only
a very small percentage undertake
the perilous Journey, and of these
many never reach Mecca or Medina
and many never return home. For It
Is u trying ordeal, a visit Jo the Val
ley of the Shadow of Death.
Hunger ami thirst, heat and disease
are encountered. Hedouln bandits
pounce upon them, take their belong
ings, and sometimes their lives as
well. The pilgrims are a serious men
ace to the communities through which
they pass. Cholera dogs their foot
steps, Sanitaty science Is helpless at
their approach. In the halting
palaces, like Damascus and Man,
loathsome and cruel aspects of the
pilgrimage are visible.
These are some of the miseries the
new railway Is expected to ullevlnte.
Today the zealous Mussulman may
buy a ticket from Damascus to Me
dina for less than $20 "he buys the
ticket and the company does the
rest."
Strict Mohammedans of the purest
faith anil most stringent practice be
lieve and tremble. They ask If It Is
right that the thorny path should he
strewn with rose leaves and the road
to heaven paved with steel? And
some Moslem theologians are embar
rassed. The merit of the pilgrim-!
mage, they argue, Is proportionate to
its difficulties. Put enlightenment Is
expected to gain the upper hand. It
Is predicted that ill five years for
every thousand Mussulmen who now
pray In the Orent Square there
will be five or ten thousand.
HOY SHOOTS HHOTHEH.
Htilh't from Gun Att-hUmtally Prop
ped F.imU 1.1 fe of Portland Hoy.
After nlming a 22-eaIlber rifle, at
his older brother and playmate this
afternoon, Hobert David, aged 12,
dropped the gun to the ground, says
the Portland Journal. The trigger
w us accidentally touched by his foot,
und the tiny bullet went through Fred
David's head, causing Instant death.
The boys were fishing In the slough
at Rust .Second and Hast Salmon
streets. Hobert David and his friend,
Millard Copley, covered with blood
were brought to tho police station,
but their story of the shooting satis
fled the officers that the boy's death
had been caused accidentally.
The sister of the boys is un actress,
at present In Chicago. A few days
ago their mother, who Is with her,
sent word to the hoys' grandmother,
Mrs. Hammer of 164', 4 Union avenue,
with whom tho boys have been liv
ing, that she would soon come to
Portland to see them. Their father
is dead, having been poisoned In Se
attle two years ago.
During the Intervals of their fish
Ing the boys, Hobert and Fred David
and Millard und Virgil Copely amused
themselves by firing ut a target. Hob
ert finally picked up the little target
rifle, and, aiming It at Millard, wild
he would shoot the button from his
cap. He pulled the trigger, but the
gun snapped. Then he aimed the
weapon at his brother Fred, aged H
years, and again the rifle snapped.
In laying the rifle on the ground
Hobert touched the trigger with his
foot, and before any of the boys had
realized what had happened Fred Da
vid was dying, for the bullet discharg
ed by his brother's action had entered
the skull at the right ear.
"Fred had been working for the
Western Union since we came here, a
short time ago," said the grandmother
"and he quit work last night because
we were going away. He thought that
he would have one day to play. We
were going to Hlaine, Wash., tonight."
The dead boy bought the gun Tues--day
against the wishes of his grand
mother. She had never allowed either
of the boys to have even blank pistols
she says, and when Fred brought the
gun home she told him to take it
back, but he refused and went fish
ing with his small brother.

It Is the easiest thing In the world
to fall into the mistake of thinking; limvl 1J le public
that any fur Is becoming to any wo
man. Nothing should be selected
with greater care than the fur. For
Instance, a sallow-skinned, dark-eyed,
dark haired woman will look the
very worst In sealskin. She should
wear the lighter shades of mink, red
fox, yellow fox and silver grey fox.
Red haired blondes can wear seal
skin, but the genuine bruo-'tte with
dark hair and eyes may wvar golden
and light brown shades, such as mink,
martin, brown or welloy fox, and chinchilla.
IUHts.
Short suede kid belts will probably
never go out of style, and those fOi
early fall can be found in a large va
riety of shades. Among them are
browns, from chnmois color to golden,
plenty of blues, rod to crimson,
greens in all tones and many In
heliotrope.

Marie Weldon, fashion editor of
the New York Times, has this to say
about the glove: "For evening wear
there Is no doubt that the elbow and
short sleeves will prevail as usual,
and therefore long gloves of 12, 16 or
20 button length will he worn. In
purchasing ilk gloves for evening
wear, tho long lengths should always

they go with the elbow short sleeve."

The laundry Quest Ion.
New York women, and In fact, wo
men all over the country, are buying
silk underwear In self-defense against
the laundries, which ruin dainty mps
lin lingerie. Tho advantage of the
Italian silk Is, that It may be washed
at home, and in those houses where no
laundress is employed the usual maid
of all work can easily wash the silk
underwear with success.
The Inundrles In many big cities
have such a press of work that they
cannot give tne fine pieces any caroi
In handling. The women are retail-j
atlng by 'equipping themselves with!
silk. This seems nt first an expensive i
method of self-defense, hut It Is not I
when the extraordinary strength and
wearing qualities of the Italian silk
are considered.
