HE is afflicted with consumption, and it is
only question Of time until he dies. The

as he is ever on the alert, not knowing at
what time nor from what direction trouble

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 19.-An ar
ticle in an independent paper at Selma,
Ala, edited by a colored preacher named
Bryan, has created stir in Alabama. An
editorial in the last issue abused the
whites for various injustices against the
coiored race, and concludes as follows:
"Were you 1.-THE whitesl to leave this south
land, in twenty years it would be one of
the grandest sections of the globe. We
would show you mossback CT akers how
TO run a country. You would never see
convicts half starved, depriving working
men of an honest living. 1t is only a

hardly leave enough of you to tell the
story. 1t is bound TO come, and just such
bot headed cranks as the editors of some
Democratic journals are just the right set
TO hasten it. It is fate"

steps to prevent the Rev. Mr.. Bryan, who
Is now absent from the city, from ever

GREECE DISSATISFIED.
King George DiSpleased at the Cretan
Arrangements.

LONDON, August liking George of
Greece, and his premier, Tricoupis, are be-
wailing the fate of Crete since they re-
ceived the very emphatic mo- of the pow
ers to their modest proposition to inter-
fere The papers of Athens take little
comfort from the promises of the new
Turkish governor, Chakir Pasha, that he
will treat the insurgents with liberality
They explain the rejection of the Greek pro-
posals by the powers, by the assertion that
England, Notwithstanding her specious
disclaimers. is intriguing for the possession
of Crete and is using the triple alliance as
an instrument for the accomplishment of
her designs.
They point out that both Germany and
Austria have everything TO gain by Eng
lish occupation of Crete, as, with a
naval station within easy striking
distance of Constantinople. England,
whom they may now regard
AS their ally, would effectually block any
Russian scheme Of conquest southwark.
1t is generally taken for granted that at
the first note of war in Europe Russia
would seize the opportunity, with or with
out provocation, to seize upon the Oar
danelles, her pet design for centuries, and
If ut such Il time England could have her
powerful fleet massed at Il naval station
of her own so close at hand as the
mouth OF the Aegean archipelago, both
Germany and Austria could breathe more
freely.
The porte has been made to understand
the advantage which must result to Tur-
key from this arrangement and has al
ready proposed an English pretoctorate for
Crete, but the bitter remonstrances of
Russia and those of France her only ally.
have led Lord Salisbury TO defer
so decisive move for the
present. Russia, recognizing the danger
TO herself from an English protectorate,
and noting that Crete was slowly drifting
away from Turkish rule has both beer
anxious that Greece should secure the
island TO prevent its falling into the hands
of a power which could, and undoubtedly
would turn 1t into a powerful weapon
against herself when the occasion arose.
This is the secret of Russia's sympathy
with Greece IN her ambition to secure
control OF that otherwise insignificant and
worthless piece of territory. NJ Tricoupi
himself makes no secret of his belief that
the next great European war will have its
origin in that very territory. Russia. he
says, has proclaimed that the
occupation of Crete by any one of the
four powers she considers hostile to her
would be regarded as caSus belli while for
proof that a perfect understanding for
such occupation exists, he points to the
unprecedenteGly prompt and unanimous
answers of England. Germany, Austria
and Italy to his recent note on the subject
of dlscord in Crete. The remon-
strances of both Russia and France
will be of little avail to block
the design of these four powers. now that
they are enabled to act in concert. and
Lord Salisbury is only awaiting a favora-
bic condition ut home for the consumation
of the plan. Whether Russia and France
will stand idly by and allow themselves,
by such an occupation of Crete by pow
eriul, hostile navy, TO be practically
bound over to keep the peace, remains TO
be seen.

DEPUTY NAGLE,s RECORD.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, August 19-The
story OF Dave Nagie's bravery while chief
OF police OF Tombstone, ARK, where he
killed a Mexican. claiming to have done it
in self defence and in performance of his
duty, is said to be untrue by a promi-
nent man now resident of this city,
formerly supervisor in Tombstone.
Said he: This talk about the
Mexican being such desperate md Ma
giles going into his mountain lair at the

OF the case are: Nagle happened to be go

lean was beating his mistress in brutal
manner. A couple of the Mexican's
friends, who were standing near, cried
The Mexican desisted, and getting
down on his hands and knees, COM

cape Nagle's observation, if possible. The
Mexican, like all woman heaters, was
coward, and was trying to escape punish

him to stop. He evidently did not
hear and continued to crawl, as de-
scrlbed. Nagle ran up to within
a few feet of him and fired several
shots into the poor coward, and he fell
dead. Nothing was ever done in this case,
but the Mexican was no blood-thirsty des-
perado, such as Nagle's friends are trying
to make out"
Nagle was elected by the aid of this sup
ervisor and his friends, who were anxious
for the downfall of the carp faction which
had been shooting people down and closing
up saloons as they wilIed. Nagle failed to
do them up, however, and the men who
elected him became thoroughly disgusted.

AN INVOLUNTARY BALOONIST.

CHICAGO, August 19.-Little 2-year-old
Sophia Schwab involintarily became a
balloonist today and was lifted high in
The air. A rifleman's skill saved the
child's life. The exciting incident took
place at Sheffield Park, and was witnessed
by 800 picknickers. An Italian peddler
of toy ballons attempted to serve two pur-
chasers at once, and in doing so let go
his string of bright col0red globes.
The cord got twisted about Sophia's
left arm and also her hair, and the buoy
ant rubber bubbles started heavenward,
taking the youthful aeronaut along.
Sophia's mother shrieked and tainted The
bystanders stood horror stricken, scarcely
breathing as the balloon swept close to a
large oak tree and the infant grasped n
handful of twigs and checked her flight.
A muscular young German was ascend
ing the tree in 8n instant
and crept out on the branch
nearest the child. At this mo-
ment SophIa's strength gave out and the
balloon, suddenly released, went again up
ward at least 100 feet, flying then out over
the lake. Gus Koch, sharpshooter, who
was attending the picnic with his repeat
ing rifles, hurriedly jumped into a skiff
with two companions and pulled out into
range. Koch succeeded in piercing several
of the balloons, each successful shot help
ing the bunch to descend Before it final
ly reached the water the boat was at the
spot, and little Sophia didn't even get her
feet wet.
