SULTAN ABDUL HAMID ae A Description of the Man All Ohristendom + is Watching Today. 2 Said to Be Generous and Sympnthetic and Beset by Inherited Difficulties. The recent develépments in Turkey and Armenia have centered international in- terest upon Abdu] Hamid II, sultan of Turkey, who is today probably the most elcsely scrutinized personage in the world. Edwin A. Grosvenor of Amherst College gives an interesting description of this important individual in his recenily published work entitled “Constantinople,” the following extracts from which will be therefore of interest: “The sovereign of Constantinople and of this widespread empire to which it is cap- ital and center, may well awaken curiosity and interest on the score of his exalted rank, and because of that lordly dynastic line of which he is heir and representative. But a still sincerer respect and homage are Gue the present sultan, because of the intellectual and moral qualities which charecterize him as a ruler and a man. In is veins flows the blood of twenty succes- sive sultans, his ancestors, and he is the twenty-first in direct descent from Sultan Qeman I, the illustrious founder of his house. He is the thirty-fourth saber-gird- ed sultan and the twenty-eighth who has reigned at Constantinople. No other Euro- pean monarch can trace his ancestry in so direct and unbroken succession through so many years to the earliest sovereign of h race, inheritance being always transmitted in the male line, and at no time deviating farther than to a brother, uncle or nephew. A Title as ix a Title. “The oriental pomp of his title reads like a passage from the ‘Arabian Nights’— Sultan of Sultans, King of Kings, Bestower of Crowrs upon the Princes of the World, Shadow of God upon Earth, Emperor and Sovereign Lord and the White Sea and the Black ‘a, of Roumelia and Anatolia, of Karamania, of the country of Roum, Diar- bekir, Kurdistan, Azerbidjan, Cham, Alep- po, Egypt.

His early life, like that of every Ottoman prine was parsed in the seciusion of the seraglio, save that in 1867 he accompanied his uncle, Sultan Abd-ul Aziz, on a journey to western Europe. ‘This was the first occasion in Ot- toman history that a sultan has visited a foreign land a3 a peaceful guest.

The political condition at his advent rendered these re- spcnsibilities still more weigh: The em- pire was confronted with an imminent, in- evitable and inevitably disastrous war. The treasury wes empty, national credit bank- rupt, the army disorganized and dispersed, the country impoverished, discouraged and distracted by factions whose aims were all the more dangerous because con The new sultan manifested unusual in organization ard administration. There was no problem too humble or detail too minute to receive his careful consideration. Sympxthetic, genereus and large hearted, he endeavored to benefit as well as rule his people. No other living sovereign has equaled him in gifts to the unfortunate and suffering. Not only the capital, but count- less villages cherish ‘tokens of his interest and regard. Interested in Education, “He has shown a constant desire to ad- vance education among his subjects.

At Constantinople, a: in the provinces, there are numerously at-. tended and advanced schools for girls and young women, which he himself founded, all the expense of which is defrayed from Tis _ewn private purse. “The many political evils existent in the Ottoman state, incurable because inherent in its very nature, are not his creation, but his inheritance. These he has endeavored to mitigate and reform. No foreigner can adequately express, or, perhaps, fully ap- preciate all the difficulties of his position. No task can be more arduovs, delicate and intricate than that committed to his hands. “His personal appearance indicates the ruler, not so much by superior height or unusual physical proportions, as by the calm manner of one sure of himself and accustomed to be obeyed. He speaks in a low, clear voice, which, it is said, he never raises. His hair, coal black at his succes- sion, ard in sharp contrast with the mark- ed pallor of his face, has been touched by time, but his dark eye has become no less penetrating and direct. His imperious state he maintains with becoming dignity, but, frugal and abstemious in personal habits, does not squander his revenues in ostenta- tious display or frivolous extravagance. He is grave, reserved and seldom smiles; is kindly and solicitous for the welfare of those about him, and is scrupulously faith- ful to the requirements of his religion.” SS Rare Postage Stamps. edu- also 4 High prices paid for postage stamps at recent London sales were: Spain, 2 reals, 1851, $140; 2 reals, 185 $110; Madrid, 3 cuartos, $ Tuscany, 3 lire, yellow. $1 Naples, % tomese, blue, $S1; Canada, 12 pence, black, damaged, $1: 1 shilling, vermillion, $140; mine, $105; 6 pence half $65; New Brunswick, 1 shill Nova Scotia, 1 shilling, mau Saree: a set cf the Departmen: of Justice, cS.
