BERLIN, Dec. 2t.-The view taken in
official circles here of the quarrel be-
tween France and Bulgaria arising out
of the refusal of the authorities of the
latter country to allow a journalist
named Chadouine, who was recently ex-
PEELED from Bulgaria, to return, is that
1t will result in mischief. A dispatch
was received from the German embassy
as Constantinople, containing the sub
stance of the protest made to the grand
vizier by M. Cambon, the French am
bassador at Constantinople, In which NJ.
Ribot, the French minister, accuses the
Bulgarian government, besides the lille
legal expulsion of M, Chadouine, with
insulting the French agent, NJ. Lenel
M. Ribot contends that Bulgaria, un-
der the terms of the Berlin treaty ought
to have applied to NJ. Lenel for permis-
sion to arrest M. Chadouine, and that
the porte must now insist that Bulgaria
shall apologize and rescind the order of
expulsion issued against M. Chadouine,
and thus wipe out by public official
recognition the insult to the French
agent The grand vizier Immediately
upon receipt of the protest communi-
Gated with the government mt Sofia, and
received prompt reply. In this answer
the authorities at Sofia expressed regret
that heincident had arisen, but declared
that they would adhere to their right to
expel NJ. Chadouine.

The failure OF the State Building
and Loan League to send a committee
10 represent the interests OF that class
OF associations at the hearing on the
repeater OF the material mems lien law,
the other day, might have been ex-
peeted 20 stiffen the distaste of the local
associations for the State organization.
One Of the reasons, and indeed the
main reason FOR the formation OF the
State League, was that the interests
Of the Building and Loan men
in State matters might be attended TO.
They took il for granted that the
League would send a committee TO
urge the passage Of the repeating aet,
at tho hearing early IN the week. and
have just cause 10 complain, when
they learn that the associations were
entirely anrepresented.
IL the State League should be as
eareless in the performances OF It's
duties. in connection with the new
tax law, as il seems to have been in
connection with the lien law, there
will probably be a demand for the ex-
tinetion of the organization.

JAPANESE TORTuRES
The Worst OF Them All Was Death from

The Worst OF Them All Was Death from
Lack of sleep.
ayes, until recently, they had exquisite
methods of torture and punishment in

who has lived in that country the last

People who never meet each other
except on full-dress parade, will never
really come to know each other well.
A ball, a supper, an afternoon tea, a
crowded reception, never made people
acquainted yet. Some, the snowy
ones, are at their best in crowd
Others are at their worst. They
can never think of anything to say
that is brilliant. They can never feel
comfortable or at ease. Meeting them
at some grand affair, you set them
down as nobodies, or you wonder
that person who has made a great
| reputation should appear so dull.
frequently your opinion of these
people will change when you have
met them in their own homes. The
brilliant ones who flash before a
crowd have perhaps no depth in
thein--are able to talk. but incapable
of listening. The Others, who had no
flow OF small talk at their disposal.
have many interesting things to say
when the fitting opportunity offers.
and say them well. But least of all
can you come to know the heart of
the man or the woman you meet In
society only.
People of sense soon learn that all
emotion, all feeling, all strong opin-
ions are looked upon with dsfavor
there. However mighty ones dis
approval, however deep ones admira-
tion of cause or man, il must not be
expressed. The conventional mods
and smiles, the conventional exclama-
tions only are desired Everyone is
''lovely." Every performance is de
lightful." Everyone has enjoyed him
self so much. No one is vulgar
enough to think. The society paper
mentions the affair and dwells upon
the costumes; and the greater the
crowd, the hotter the room, the
greater the success of the affair.
As for the people there, you know
no more of them that you did when
you were introduced; and if you
meet them on such occasions only,
you never will. Yet there are many
worth knowing; friends who might
lend your life a charm it could
not have without them. Sometimes
you feel this ]; but the old-fashioned
sociable visiting is no more. No one
drops in on another now. No one
spends an evening with another in or
der TO know her better. In fashion,
able circles, at least, ladies are too
busy. Each in her turn sends out her
cards, and draws a little crowd to-
gether. One of the great pleasures of
life, intimacy between those we'll
suited TO each other has become n
thing of the past.-NeIC York Ledger.
