OUR "i* ir ARTINSVILLE, Jnd., lcapcd into thè national .HAREM 1%/■ eve sevcral days ago. It was reported that a IDfiAS young resident had made inquirv as to thè prospeet of bis forming a matrimoniai alliance with one of thè harem heauties said to have becn left behind by thè Sultan of Turkey in his flight. Later thè young man dcnied making such an inquirv. But thè fact remains thal thè reported proposai attraeteci wide attention beeause of thè popular belief that there are scads of ravishing-eyed houris in Constantinople and that harems are plentiful. As far as thè beauty part of it goes, travelers have long sincc told us that, to thè eyes of au oeeidental, thè entraneing eharaeteristics with whieh Turkish women have been cndowed by thè story books are mostly myths. Now eomes thè son of a former Turkish ambassador to Washington, Mufty Zade Iv. Zia Bey by natne. who gives out a statement in Boston that there is no polvgamy in Turkey. That everv man has just one wife (at least just one wife et a time), in exaetly thè sanie manner as here in thè United States. Fresli from Constantinople. he iusists thè Sultan had only one, wife, not a harem. Bey admits thè existem-e of harems, but says they are thè dwelling place of wives brought horae as males of thè family marry. No matter what question is raised, there f s ahvays thè other side to he heard from. HOW THE nnWO letters written by Mrs. Abraham Lincoln PUBLIC ! aster the assassination of her husband have THANKS -JL just been discovered in a secret drawer of an old desk, emphasizing afresh the eternai ingratitude of republics. In one of the letters. dated Dee. 2S. 1865. Mrs. Lincoln says: “* * * Our adver.se fate and the great injusticc of a peoplc übo owed so mudi to my beloved husband does not contribute toward lessening our heavy trials * * * We are homeless and in return for the saerifices my great and noble husband made, both in bis lise and in his death. the paltry. tirst year ? s salary is offered us, under the circumstances; such. injustice has been done us ir ealls the blush to auy true. Invai heart. The sum is in realitv oulv $20.000, as the fìrst month's salary was paid my husband, and 1 presume thè tax on it will be deducted from it. The interest of it will be about $1,500 * * * I am humiliated wlien I think that we are destined to be forever homeless.” The second letter, written Jan. 13, 186tì. announced Mrs. Lincoln had received ‘‘thè sum allowed by Congress, deductiug six weeks from it with interest, making it $22,025, leaving me to pav the income tax, whieh will leave only $20,000.” Thrifty Congress! Abraham Lincoln was inaugurateci President for bis second term March 4. 1 $65. and was assassinated six weeks later. Aprii 14. Congress knew his widow was left with nothing. The Lineolns had always been poor. But conseienee eried a little and Congress voted a year’s salary to thè widow, less the si.: weeks the dead President had alreadv drawn! What a picture! And thè public at large. whieh nnw reveres Lincoln’s carne, what did it do? A “dollar fund” was started for Mrs. Lincoln. The total amount collected was $10.747.77. Why wonder that public lise attraets so few Lineolns v. hen this represents their treatment ?

To lite Editor of The Time I wish to ask a few questiona through your paper. I aro living in a section of thè city whieh thè park board wants for a park for three hospital. One year ago manj" autoists who could gire mule parties brought their mule hounds ovit here to drink and lie in the prass and sloep off drtinks, tiiitil decent people began to buy lots and build tiieir honies. These people are stopping suoli parties and not only the bonze parties, but others that are toc low and vile to mentimi. It seems to me that if membors of the park board would walk through Riversale park some mea summer night they would see enough that they would not want any parks. And again, if tliis ground is to be userò for a park why let a certain man cut down all thè shade Ireos ami soli thè wood at such a, price that it. would take John D. to buy a load—only $6.50 for a mali one horse wagon load? AVhy not let thè poor peoplo without fuel cut down some of those trees? A RICADER OF THE TIMES.
