From the Spectaiory

General Tchernaieff telegraphed to
Thursdays Daily Neps that on the evening
of October / the Servian troops, having
taken from the enemy a position which
they had abandoned on the previous night,
found there the bodies of Servian wounded
who had been taken prisoners pinned
to the earth by hedg ak S, the bands
stretched out, the fee. and parts Of tho
body burnt and charred, toes Gu, off, the
stomachs discmbowe..ed, and the faces
distorted by the agony Of the tortures,
The finding of Turkish bodies OF soldiers
among the corpses proved that these afro
cities were the exploits OF soldiers belong
ing to the regular army. The truth Of
this diaboIical tact is guaranteed by the
word Of honour Of Co oaei PreTatovItch,
Captain Tikchauotf, and ether witnesses"
Whereupon the Pail lIaN reads General
TCharnaietF a lecture on tive WlCNeiness Of
trying to convince an already convinced
people Of the barbarity Of the Turks, and
remarks, with immense cmpressement, that
what General Tchernaieff wants is to re-
excite the evanescent passion OF the Eng
fish people, not to convince its Judgment.
Would 1t not be fairer TO say that what
General Tcheruajelt wants IS t. prevent the
English conviction Of incompetence OF the
Turks to act like o d cent and cirl lied
powerf ON dyi0g away, IT'LL II has Impressed
itself adequately on our Government p
which it has certainly not done yet, and

Ancient Newspapers.

AT the coming Centennial Newspaper
Exhibition at Philadelphia it has been
decided to display copies of antique
journals and other curiosities of newspa-
per literature. To this interesting col
lection all persons having ancient, quaint,
or curious specimens are invited to con-
tribute and should the response be as
hearty and general as we hope to find it,
this gathering of time-worn publications
will prove to be not only leading trait
of the Newspaper department, but also
one of the salient attractions of the Elk
hibition as a whole. All having the abili-.
ty and the will to aid on the project
should transmit their consignments
without delay to the Philadelphia office
of the Newspaper Exhibition, Ledger
Building, 10 South Sixth street, Phila-
delphia. While on view, these exhibits
will have attached to them labels desig-
mating by whom they are contributed,
and all consistent care will be taken to
preserve them FROM damage. After the
close of the Exhibition they will be
again ut the service of their owners, or,
in the absence of different instructions,
will be transferred to some historical
society or museum.
During the late war there were many
newspapers issued which illustrated the
straits in which their publishers found
themselves. Pink, blue, and yellow
sheets, wrapping paper, and many other
substitutes were pressed into service.
Specimens of these now possess curl
GUS interest.
The advantages to the public of such
gathering are manifest to degree
which renders calculation unnecessary,
and the opportunity to do very useful
act is placed within easy reach. A sin
gle copy of some senile broadsheet may
not be of much worth to its proprietor,
yet in conjunction with7 others it will
make up worthy collection. Many peo-
pie there are who, having preserved
such curiosities for years, can turn them
to little or no practical account, and it is
not too much to hope that the response
given by such will be ready and general.
Without loss to themselves, they can
materially benefit visitors to the Great
Centennial Exhibition and appreciably
advance patriotic movement.

Centennial Railroad Fares.

The concession of twenty-five per
cent. on round-trip tickets TO the Gen.
tennial exposition is regarded by the
press of the East and West as Insult
cient to increase the travel perceptibly
over what it would be were the regular
rates maintained. The New York World
pronounces it "suicidal to the rail
roads and fearfully detrimental to the
Exposition. There is to be no reduction,
either, ON large excursions. The rate is
the same for q hundred excursionists as
for one person.
The effect of this will be TO keep away
from the show thousands who, were the
rates reduced one half, rs has been the
rule with railroads making ARRANGE
ments for conventions, mass meetings
and other large assemblies, would flock
to Philadelphia. The best friends of the
Exposition, says the New York Evening
Post, "begin to fear that the very open
ing of its life will be clouded with some
thing like failure" and all due to the
blunders of the railroad managers in
adopting rates that are too high for the
masses of the people.
The Pennsylvania railroad has literally
the inside track to the Centennial, and
it is in its power either to keep rates up
or put them down. If the opening
shows that the people are not absolutely
frantic to go to Philadelphia, and will
not attend unless rates of fare are re-
duced, the managers of the roads will
make more accommodating terms. But
it may then be too late to attract them to
Paramount Park. The experience OF
Vienna in 1873 should be avoided al
Philadelphia. People in Europe were
frightened by the prices of everything
ia the Austrian capital, and when they
were reduced, and the railroads as well
as the graspiug landlords put down
prices, they could not be persuaded to
visit Vienna. The consequence was 6
financial failure, and deficit of millions
of dollars, which the Government had to
make good, while the shop-keepers and
landlords were, many of them, ruined. -

A. 7. Stewards EVERYDAY Life,

Mr.. Stewart usually breakfasted at
o'clock, his meal ordinarily consisting of
plain bread, bit of fish, an egg, and
some oatmeal porridge. Then he
was driven down to his retail establish
ment, where he spent two or three hours,
walking through every part of it, asking
to ascertain whether they were up in
their duties, and observing how affairs
were carried on. Then he went down in
his carriage to the wholesale store. There
he read his letters, and transacted bust
ness until o'clock. For many years he
was accustomed to dine at Delmonico's,
on the opposite side of Broadway, but
latterly he dined at home. Getting an
interview with him was much like get
ting access to the Prime Minister OF
England. He was to be seen only at the
downtown store, and on the visitors
entering, the floor walker near the door
would first inquire that visitors bust
ness. If he said that he wanted to see
Mr.. Stewart, he was asked what he
wanted of him, aud if it was anything
that subordinate could attend to, he
was turned over to him. If he still in
sisted upon seeing the great man him
self, he was allowed TO go as far as the
foot of the stairs, where another Cerbe-
rus was in waiting, and unless he could
be satisfied that it was worth while dis
turbing Mr.. Stewart the visitor was
turned back. Often a message came
down which would enable the business
to be settled by a simple yes or no. If
not, the visitor was allowed to go up the
stairs and wait again within sight of the
glazed Enclosure where Mr.. Stewart sat,
and in due time was summoned into his
presence. Though courteous in man
ner, Mr.. Stewart wasted no words, and
anything like bore was summary dis
missed. And in no other way could he
have got through with the immense
number of calls that were daily made
upon him.-NeU York Herald.

Remarriage of Divorced Persons.

Ex-Gov. Hoffman, of New York, act
ing as q referee, has rendered the decis-
ion that the remarriage of persons who
have been divorced is illegal, and this
will be likely to put stop to a rather
popular amusement. The particulars
are given in the Troy Times. In 1870
the wife of George 1. Amsdell, a wealthy
brewer of Albany, obtained a divorce
from her husband on grounds of adultery.
She was granted an alimony of $50, 900,
$780, of which was paid in cash and
$50, 600 in bonds and mortgage. In 1874
he again courted his former wife, prom
ised reformation and was remarked.
After time the $50, 900 mortgage was
returned, and they lived happily together
for just one year, when Mr.. Amsdell re-
turned to his old associations. In June,
1875, the wife applied to her counsel,
Hon. Matthew Hale, stating the history
of her married life. Mr.. Hale told her
she was not Mr.. Amsdells wife in the
eyes of the law. A suit was commenced
Immediately for the recovery of the
$50, 900 mortgage, and after prelmi-
nary hearing it was referred to Ex-Gov.
Hoffman. The referee has decided that
the remarr;age was null and void, as by
the decree of divorce Mr.. Amsden had
no right to marry during the lifetime o.
his divorced wife. He cites decision
of Chancellor Walworth to the effec
that marriage with former wife wa.
illegal and without first getting the de
crae annulled

Statistics of Beer.Drinking.

The question of relative beer-drinking
by the different nations has been deter
mined by a curious compilation made by
M. G. Norback, an eminent scientist,
and published in the Journal de la
SOciete de Statique de Paris. The re-
turns, as will be seen below, are curious
and instructive. Bavaria, Belgium,
Wurtemburg and Great Britain consume
more than all the other nation COM
bined, Bavaria and Belgium having the
honor TO head the list with a per capita
consumption of fifty-four and forty-tive
gallons to each man, woman and child.
1t is also curious to note that in Prussia
and Hanover, where there are 5000
breweries, the consumption is under ten
gallons to each person, while Great
Britain consumes in the aggregate more
than any other three nations.

Who Pay the Postage.

Taking an average of twenty-five cities
with the highest postal receipts, and we
find that the citizens pay an annual per
capita of $2.01 for postage. OF these
cities Boston, being the Hub of the
universe, pays the largest sum, amount
ing to 1851, 1884 gross, or $3.50 per head.
New York pays 1916, and Chicago,
$3.O3. But the Brooklyn per capita Is
only forty-two cents, showing how large
a proportion of the inhabitants OF the
City of Churches make use Of it simply
as caravansary, while doing all their
business in this grsat bazaar. Making
an average of the population and the
postal receipts of Brooklyn and New
York, and it appears that the per capita
is 1924 for the entire population. This
is less than that of San Francisco,
$3.50; Indianapolis, $2.81; and Pitts
burgh, 80. So; but it is greater than the
receipts at Albany, $1.91; Rochester,
81. 90; Providence, S1.79; and Cincn-
natl, $1.84. The more southern cities
do not patronize the postoffice to the
same extent. Baltimore pays Sl.2S per
capita; Washington, S1.56; Louisville,
$3.50; Philadelphia, S1.43; st. Louis,
81. 43; Kansas City, S1.26, and New Or
leans, s1.O6, being the lowest average.
The Detroit Office receives 1924 per
capita; Cleveland, So; and Milwaukee,,
S1.91. 1t will be noticed from these
figures that the percentage OF receipts
cannot be adjusted either to a scale OF
climate or of business activity, and 1t
would puzzle Quetelet to establish
law of postal correspondence from any
such data.-NctD York World.

Failures.

Twenty-eight hundred failures in three
months The statement would hardly
be credited but for the established repu-
tation for accuracy of Mr.. Wiman, the
statistician of Dun, Barlow & Co., whose
quarterly circular has just been issued.
In number, the failures reported by this
agency for the quarter ending March
81, exceed those of any previous quarter
since its valuable records have been pub
lished. The nearest approach was in
the last quarter of 1875, when the fail
ures in the United States numbered
2.405. The total for the last six months
is 5,211, number exceeded by only
three full years in our history. In mag
nitude of liabilities, however, the fail
ures of the first quarter of 1876 fall be-
low those of the last quarter of 1875 by
six millions. Comparisons, in this case,
are decidedly odious but quite instruct
i've, and the following statement of fail
ures and liabilities since 1856 deserves
attention.

The Dreaded Plague.

The London Times, the Lancet, and
other English journals, appear to be
getting really alarmed about the con-
tinued approach of the plague. The
disease has been absent from England
and the continent of Europe for more than
$50 years, and from its once favorite
haunts in Egypt, Syria and Mesopo-
tamia for about forty years. During the
last two years, the disease has appeared
now and again in villages on the lower
Euphrates, and it hns now broken out
at lillian, and several severe cases have
occurred at Bagdad. The recent out
breaks have shown no diminution of the
old virulence, and in the opinion of the
Times there can be little doubt, when
the present state of commercial CON-
munication is considered, that the malady
may soon be conveyed from Bagdad to
the Lavant. From the Levant it might
easily pass to Europe, and even to the
shores of England. The plague was last
prevalent in Bagdad in 1916, and it
is believed that between the 28th of
March and the Goth of April, 1881, not
less than 10000 persons fell victims to
the disease among population esti-
mated at 100000.

Funny Experiment with Restless Chill
dren.

The latest thing in the invention line
is continuance for preventing uneasy
and miscellaneous children from "jog-
CLING" each other in school. It is de-
scribed as follows: "In the seat of each
chair is placed small metallic plate
connected by a wire with galvanic bat
terry on the teachers desk. Each alter
nate chair is connected with the positive
pole of the battery and tho others with
the negative pole. So long as the chill
dren remain quiet no shock is expert
enced, bat the moment one child
touches another an electric current is
created, and both the victim and his as
saiiant are held fast. An uproar is Gre
ated and the attention of the teacher is
attracted" This novel plan is desig
mated machine to prevent jogging
in school-rooms," and the inventor has
actually enlisted the help of the keeper
of small private school in the Tenth
ward to allow him to exhibit the effect
iveness of the invention. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to saw that it is complete
success, and that restless boys once I'M
der the operation of this salvanic shock
are done forever with jogging as a
means of grace.-Neso York Letter.

During the last six months the num-
Der of failures has been 5,211 and the
liabilities 1914, 100000. This aggregate
was exceeded during twelve months in
1857, in 1861, and in 1873, 1874, and
1875, but not in any other year. Dur
ing the three years and one-quarter en-
braced in the present period of CONNER
cial disaster the number of failures has
been q, $50 and the liabilities $649, 49,
sos. The three years 1879 saw only
ID, 070 failures, with liabilities of ,s$451,
1913, 900; the three years 1902 saw only
II 318 failures, with liabilities of $780,
066, 300, and the three years 1902,
though years of comparative prosperity,
witnessed 10, 535 failures, with liabilities
of 1924, 100000. Remembering that
there were comparatively few failures
during the first quarter of 1878, we may
fairly say that within the past three years
the number of killed and wounded in
the battle of commerce has been greater
than during the four worst years of all
our preceding history.-Ne,0 York If'i-
bu1le.
