S ————————— T0 CREET THE NEW SULTAN Mehmed V to Visit the Beautiful City of Brusa. Mis Predecessor Had Promised to Go There, but Falled—Its Famous Mosqne Neing Furnished Up. Green BRUSA. June 26.—In Brusa, the anclent capital of the Osmanll, the people are iIn a state of excited expectation, for has not their new padisha, Sultan Mehmed V, announced his intention of visiting the town next month to pray at the tombs of his forefathers and to open an exhibifion of the Industries of the vilayet? Since the advent of Sultan Asiz, nearly half a cen- tury ago, the famous hot iron and sul- phur baths and the enormous silk ind: A Special Sale of Wide | WILL PRAY AT ANCESTOR'S TOMB | try of the prosperous littls town have been neglecied by its padisha, for Abdul | Hamid, preferring to remain invisible to | his people, falled to keep his promise to open the first exhibition. But at last| the people are to be rewarded with a | #ight of the sultan. He will spend three | days at the Yildis Kiosk, which stands | some 1,600 feet above the town and was | originally bullt for Abdul, but never oc- cupled. An alr of great anticipation rests over the whole town and everywhers there is to be seen hustle and preparation. The | celebrated green mosque is recelving such a cleaning as it has not known for years. Its beautiful porcelain tiles of blulsh green, the exquisite workmanship and rich, | harmonious coloring of the sultan’s tribune | and the marble mouldings of doors and windows which make this mosque one of the most beautiful in the Ottoman em- pire will appear as magnificent as on the day that the i.usque was finished. Beauties of a Conatitution. Houses are belng repainted. The work- ers in the numerous silk factories—babes and old women from 7 to 70 years of age —sing at thelr work in spite of the fact that the constitution has given them longer hours each day for the same pittance, 2 to 4 plastres & day (8 to 18 cents), and permits night work, which was hitherto forbidden. Travelers in the Interior of Asia say that on thelr return journay the sight of Brusa and its fertile valley is to them as Para- dise, and yesterday I myself experienced something of their sensation after spend- ing five long hours in a crowded, dirty old Turkish steamboat and suffering a drive of eighteen miles In an Asiatic araba dur- Ing the hottest part of the day. The Asiatic carriage resembles a small furniture wagon, for the tabular shaped wooden rough framework Is covered with black canvas which may be drawn up at the sides or left down If the occupants be Turkish women. There are no seats In this carriage. Some- times a straw mattress Is spread on the floor, and upon this some eight to ten peo- ple manage to squat on thelr feet, and often a whole family packs away inside with its Juggage, which makes it look like part of a gypsies' caravan, for the whole of the woodwork 1s painted with vivid colors. Along the Road to Brusa. You leave Mouldania (which Is the near- est seaport town) by a road which asgends gradually to a helght of about 500 feet, and now and again get a glimpse of the blue water of the bay behind you, the very sight of which seems to bring a breath of cool alr. The countryside is monotonous. Mile after mile, acre after acre of hill and wvalley upon either side of the road present the same appearance, low growing vines, olive and close cut mulberry trees. Upon the parched clay soll there is only an occasional blade of burnt grass or some hardy flower to be seen, and the hot noonday sun scorches you mercilessly as you drive along over the interminable dusty road, at the edge of which droves of donkeys and mules stand patiently, awalting their enormous burdens of mul- berry branches. Suddenly a bend In the road shows that you are nearing the summit of the hill and In a moment the snowy head of Olympus is seen over the brow. A few steps further and there appears beneath you a magnificent fertile valley surrounded by range after range of green moun- tains. Away In the distance Brusa, with its mosques, Its factories, its mills, its hospital, its large military training col- lege and Its famous hot sulphur baths; while on the slope to the right is the vil- lage of Tchekirghe, with its iron baths. Every inch s covered with a rich dark | soll, and in the little town yonder many of the houses are fitted with natural hot water, and at its street fountalns you can wash In either hot or cold. Every corn- tield is being reaped by hand. Fruit trees are laden with cherries, pears, apples, peaches, plums and apricots. There are tigs, ollves, mulberries and vines by the acre. There are stalwart oak trees and hillsides covered with shrub oak; there are silver beeches, junipers, chestnuts, limes, weeping willows, pomegranates, graceful | poplars and sombre cypress trees; the last named planted In the cemeteries on the death of some great personage, generally overshadow some mosque. There are flelds | of waving corn, of malze, of sesame. There | are thousands of different wild flowers growing at one's feet and high up on the | mountainside. Neot Like Asia Minor. It Is with difficulty you realize that you are In Asla Minor. One moment you are in Ireland with its brilllant emerald green, the next in Devonshire with its hedg its wildness and its flowers; then you are in the south of France with its vineyards, and In Switzerland with its cultivated and | mowcapped mountains. But a group of peasants passing with their donkeys, crowds of cherry stained Infants as they run shouting after your arabajl, Biblcal looking personage or a mounted high " y | upon the back of an ass serves to remind | Y8sak (forbldden), the word which only You of your whereabouts.

Many of the streets are wide and lit with good old lamps, and in the whole of Con- stantinople or Its suburbs there is not a road to be found as that which leads from Brusa, winding in and out over the hills to a helght of 1,500 feet, to the next vil- lage. Thié road was made by the people themselves about twenty-five to thirty years since and it is now kept in order by the government, which has not yet seen fit to repair the wooden bridges that cross the deep ravines. The drive into Brusa by the road at even- ing is wonderful, for at each end there is w and marvellous view to be had. To the left are five or six ranges of hills, be- which the setting sun sheds its rays upon the lake of Apollonia. Below you is the whole stretch of valley, with the tall cypress trees standing out darkly against the white minarets of the mosques in the little town. Then at the back Is the mighty mountain now turning pink with the glow of sunset. You have seen it omi- nously blue black In the morning; then a storm cloud has burst over the valley and this and the surrounding hills are in a downpour of rain, after which the sun once more breaks forth and the whole place Is flooded with a blaze of evening light. But upon this road and beyond it at a height of 4,000 feet there is every concelv- able flower, and in less than five minutes your araba is filled, for the delighted Arabajl, noting your admiration of his flowers, rushes off In all directions to gather you some choice specimens. No Longer Forbidden. On the opposite side of the slope is the road leading to Yildiz Kiosk, which Is & long and tedious climb. Finding that my two tired horses were unable to get up there 1 walked. Workmen were in the garden arranging a couple of fountain: but I pushed open the gate and walked In at the front door (which happens to be at the back of the house), and wender ot wopnders, not a man called out the worl a few months since was the one most tamiliar to the enterprising foreigner. The kiosk is an unpretentious little two-storied bullding painted bright green outside. Each of the twelve living rooms is ornamented with penceled walls of various bright col- ors and the celling decorated with numer- ous glaring specimens of art—such as im. possible seascapes and roaring llons, un- heard of and unnamed fruits, rivers and hcuses.

American School for Girls. Not far from Yildiz Kiosk, on the slope |of the hill, but difficult for the stranger |to fing, is the American school for girls, and I was lucky enough to find the schol- ars of the kindergarten giving a dress re- hearsal of thelr performance for the after- noon. The school, which has been open fifteen years, has now some bright young Turkish girls, beside many Greeks and | Armentans—numbering in all about fifty |boarders and thirty day scholars. Afteer |a well executed Japanese drill the young- sters gave a representation of Cinderella in Armentan. The audience was composed of Turkish women, who had discarded thelr yashmak (there being no men present), and It was not untll the performance was over, when every silk ferige (mangle) was raised and its yashmak lowered, that I realized who they were. For I had not heard them talk, so absorbed were they In the gallant Prince, who, while paying his attention to Cinderella had great difficulty in keep- Ing on his crown. No laughter was heard when the elder sisters (two tiny mites of 7 could not move and got entangled in their newly acquired trains, or Cinderella found It impossible to walk without losing her larger sister's white shoe. GOES WEST FOR CORN SHOW General Manager T. F. Sturgess Will Visit Mineapolis, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Denver. General Manager T. F. Sturgess of the National Corn exposition leaves Sunday night on a little trip to corral for the corn show most of the northweet. Going first to Minneapolis, Mr. Sturgess hopes to enlist the millers In a milling test (prise offer of several thousand dollars. Thence he goes to Bozeman, Mont., to make arrangements for the Montana state ex- hibition at the corn show, and from there |to Seattle. the Department of Agriculture. This whole |exhibit is to come to the corn exposition {this fall. A visit at Portland is next on 'his itinerary and then Salt Lake. Utah has been less interested in the corn exposition llh-" other western states and a little mis- slonary work will be effective among the Mormons. At Denver Mr. Sturgess will represent the corn show at the Transmississippl con- |sccompany her husband on the trip. | W. A. Campbell also leaves shortly on a trip to Mitchell, S. D., in the interest of [the corn exposition. His object is to secure {from the corn palace there the articles | made of corn. Mr. Campbell will also visit St. Paul and Bismarck for the Missourl river congress.

In the first five business days of the week over $200,000 in building permits were issued at the city hall. None of the items was large, and the deduction is of a large num- ber of comparatively small buildings. In- |asmuch as this 1s only an average run and the number of big bulldings announced this year and under way is big, it follows {that improvement operations in Omaha are most healthily active. The supply of bulldings of all kinds is in no danger of exceeding the demand, how- ever, and rents keep the even tenor of their way without hint of either elevation or lowering. The firm dealing in Kountze place realty closed its books January 1 with sales of $150,000 marked up. This year's record blds falr to exceed that figure, although the sales are chiefly in lots for small sums lke $%00 and $1,200. If lllustration were needed of the frequent divergence between would-be purchasers |and owners the Board of Trade building deal would furnish an excellent one. To a %00d many people the sum of $50,00 for the corner seems a big price to reject. The bullding itself cost about $85,00. To duplicate it now would probabiy cost §150,- 000 at a liberal estimate. This leaves the offer on the lot at $00,00. By €ome it Is deemed the best corner in the city, but twelve years hence it might not be so. The Omaha National bank, which {s the re- puted attempted purchaser of the Board of Trade, did not dream twenty years ago that its then new bullding would not con- tinue to be in the immediate center of bu ness life. No officlal announcement has come forth regarding the Douglas street hotel urged upon E. A. Cudahy by a Commercial club ! committes, but it Is known that Mr. This means an office and store bullding put up by him. His inclination is rather to bulld " himself than to sell the property just ac. quired, on the theory that the Grossman | corner is about as good an Investment as he can find. . The present week Is likely to see a de- cision by the Woodmen of the World as | to the site of their bullding. The executive council will meet Wednesday and listen | to the options and offers which the spe- | clal building committee bgs acquired. | Judged by mere surface indications it might pay to become a stenographer for a real estate dealer.

Glc. Sold by Bee Want Ads are Business Boosters. No Advertiser Signs a Contract When He Deals With U The usual advertising agent before he shows results —wants a one- to three-year . contract. Then you must cling to that agent—what- ever the outcome—for the full term agreed. It is buying a “pig in a poke.” It is alsoa poor way to place men on their mettle. That is the only right way to place advertis- ing, so that is the way we accept. We deal with our men on a similar basis. Cur Copy Staff is made up of the ablest men we know. Each can earn more here than any= where else, so long as he holds his own. But, when any man lets another outsell him, the other has his place. For advertising is war, and expensive war. The stakes are tremendous. There is no room for incompetents. . Men or agencies must rise or fall by their victories or their def ‘ats. So, we make no contracts with our brilliant men, and we ask none from any client. ‘We have abandoned contracts. Our business is solicited on one basis only— on the claim to outsell any other concern in the field. We expect to be compelled to make good. That is why we pay our Copy Chief $1,000 week. That is why we work in Advisory g:lrdn, each session of which costs us $1 per minute. ! We combine our ability—mass our experi- ence—to invariably fulfill our claim. There is a way to know if your advertising brings the utmost results that are posnblf. There is a way to prove—easily and quickly —if we can sell more than others. The proof can be given without any commit- ment on your part. It will be such that no man can dispute it. The result may be worth thousands of dol- lars to you. We have made it worth millions to some. If you are interested, ask us to state the way. LORD & THOMAS NEWSPAPER, MAGAZINE AND OUTDOOR ADVERTISING Address either office. Then we abide by results. Advertisers may come to us without any commitment. They may start in a small way, and expand when results are apparent. They may quit us the moment another con- ¢ern shows the power to sell more than we. Thus we are held to the mark. We cannot relax, for our accounts are ours only so long as no better man shows up.
