The personal expenses of Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey, are larger than those of any other monarch In Europe. He spends hnnually no less a sum than $30, COO, COO. Of this alone la spent on the clothing of the women of his harem and $400,-00- 0 on the sultan's own wardrobe. Nearly another $7,600,000 Is swallowed up by presents, $3,000,000 goes for pocket money and still another for the table. It seems Incredible that so much money can possibly be .spent in a year by one man, but when It Is remembered that some 1,600 persons reside within the palace walls and live luxuriously and dress expensively at the cost of the civil list it appears a little more comprehensible.
