Mr.. Gladstone's declaration that "the bar
barous misgovernment of the Turk is a stand
ing menace to the peace of Europe" is not con-
CURED in by the English press. The DdiIU
NetUS says that although the very existence of
Turkey In Europe is blot on modern civiliza-
tion, that blot cannot be obliterated without a
deadly conflict involving all the Great Powers;
the Sultan at present. The party in power, has
not only said through the Marquis of Salisbury
that the Turk must be let alone, but has even
endeaVored to excuse the atrocities committed
In Albania and Crete.

siasts swung to the breeze a sure-enough rebel

red bars on either side with white bar in the
middle A blue corner with I3 stars inclosed
made it complete. There was no wind Sunday.

red garment before mad bull. The flag was
torn down by members of the Major Harris
Post G. A R., who were loud in denouncing
the outrage. There came near being serious
trouble over the affair.
Joseph n. Hillman, the young murderer
was executed at Woodbury., N. J., yesterday
morning. The hanging of Hillman was simply
a butchery. When given permission to speak,
he said: MY dear friends, all have to say is
that my wife had nothing to do with it. 1 am
the only Hillman who ever did anything, 1
have forgiven all who had anything to do with
it, and some day hope to meet you in heaven" /"
The rope was then cut but the knot failed to
slip and the murderer hung in midair His
struggling was terrible, and he could almost be
heard to speak as he groaned. His hands
although pinioned, he managed to get almost
to his mouth. Hangman Vanhiser released the
body to almost within six inches Of the scaffold
floor and adjusted the knot After hanging
about 80 minutes the body was cut down and
given to the undertaken.
