LONDON, July 1S,-A weli-informed Con
stantinople correspondent telegraphed this
afternoon that at the palace of YeldiN and
amongst leading Turkish officials there has
been decided reaction against the accept
ance of the report emanating from Berlin
that France has approached Russia on the
subject of a coalition against England, and
had offered to cooperate with Russia in the
seizure of Constantinople and the forming
of new Turkish state in Asia, embracing
Egypt, under France and Russian protec-
ton.
The comments of the German papers on
the visit of Emperor William to Lord Sails
bury's residence, together with the fact
that Germany has cause for being gratified,
many Of the leading Turkish states
men that the alleged French-Rus-
sian programme is undoubtedly an
Anglo German arrangement, with Germany
at Constantinople and England in Egypt
The fact is also realized that the great Ger

previous to his death said that the

out as other straws inducing the desire on
the part of Emperor William to precipitate
matters while he can rely on the support of
the British feet. 1t Is also learned that
Germany had several expert German
engineers who speak the Russian language
fuently travelling through Russia and that
these officers have reported to the German
Emperor that the Russian army as well as
every other branch of Russian administra-
ton is rotten, and that if France relies on
Russia in future war with
Germany she relies upon broken

in diplomatic circles at Constantinople that
England has joined the triple alliance or
that written engagement has been entered
into by England binding Great Britain to

tive he is the Fon-qui or white devil" of
their mythology; but some of the whites
think he is Hige Parsons, miner, who
went into that region thirty years ago,
while others think him a recently escaped
lunatic.
As long as he scared no one but China
men the whites thought 1t was merely
their Imagination. but few days ago Mr.
j. d. Collins, q wealthy stock rancher, got
shock which he describes in these words:
Il started to walk across q little swale ON
log. When reached the middle my
hair suddenly rose on end Sitting on the
log at the farther side, partly hidden in
the brush, sat human shape looking in
tently at me. I stood in amazement. It
was q man, dressed In the skin of a deer
tied round his waist, while his shoulders,
his arms and his legs to the knees were
bare A long. gdzzled beard and matted
hair, white as snow, fell about his breast
and shoulders.
He sat crouching, as though trying to
hide from noe. yet he saw plainly enough
that be was discovered. His eyes had q
wild look, but nothing fierce or dangeeous.
The look reminded me more Of wild ami
NAL that Is frightened and has no means
OF escape Thought could detect look
for pity in his eyes % they were fixed upon
me. Over his left eye was deep scar,
partly concealed by the shaggy hair that
fell over his forehead"
Mr.. Collins spoke, and the wild man
aed. After long chase his pursuer again
got near enough to speak, when the wild
man raised q stone in a threatening way
and then lodged into a tamarack thickat
and disappeared The Chinese shepherds
arc so demoralizsd that nothing can be
done with them. and the few white set
tlsrs say they will have to hunt down and
capture the outcast before their employees
will return to their herds. Eigs Parsons,
the miner. was injured in tho head by q
blast just before he took to the woods,
thirty years ago, but the chances are that
he Is not the wild man.

A still more painful feature is added by
the charge Of DR.. J. T. Sprague, Of Belle

Dr.. Sprague thinks, was very injurious to

The Editor Of Harper,s Magazine.

MRTUcHEN.N. j., July6.-Few men devots
themselves for years to Literary work with
out revealing their identity to the hun

lowed its course. Yet there is one to be
found regularly at his desk in a large pub
fishing house, as editor of one Of our great

Mr.. Alden, to make wild guess, is per-

occupied his present position ever since
completing his theological course at col

that he Is not more generally known as the
editor OF Harper's Magazine. Ask almost
any one, he remarks with smile, land

His words have since been tested and are
true. II guesses are made they name either

ellis, both department editors only on the
periodical. But now Mr.. Alden will have
to come from his retirement, for he has
done something to please readers Of
thoughtful literature by publishing a vol
ume of sermons called "God in His World"
The title is taken from the last lines in
that exquisite song from Browning's
"Ptppa Passes"

AN APOPLECTIC STROKE.
DIR. b. W. Magruder Said to BE Dying
from It.

About Z o'clock last evening Dr. B. w.
Magruder was the victim of stroke of ap-
opleXy, and at 9 o'clock last night it was
thought he would not live until morning.
DR.. Magruder is probably one of the best
known citizens of Fort Worth. He has
been a resident of the city for long time,
and had become endeared to many of her
citizens, who will hear of this
sad affair with genuine regret.
He comes from one of the
Oldest families of Virginia and numbers
among his friends and relatives some of the
leading citizens and Oldest families of the
Old Dominion. He has been a remarkably
successful practitioner, and ranked high
among the prominent men of his profession.
Should this stroke prove fatal. Fort Worth
will not only have lost q citizen
whom all delighted TO honor, but the med
ical profession of the South will have lost a
member whose place can lily be filed.

people of Fort Worth, regar Hess of class or
station, will join in the hope that he may
yet fully recover from this insidiouS

Harcourt Talks About 1t.

The above dispatch being shown to Sir
William Harcourt, Liberal member of par
lament, he said; English Tories are eff
fusive in their joy at the triple alliance
being prolonged another six years. They
dislike France for a variety of reasons,
among them being the fact that France is a
republic resting on liberal ideas and all
their sympathies go out to the great
military monarchies of Central Europe,
based as they are essentially on
authority and force. But above
all France is understood to be on
good terms with Russia, and in the case of
the great majority of English Tories, their
conception of a foreign policy begins and
ends with the one sentiment of hatred and
fear Of Russia. English Liberals are far
from agreeing with the Tory wiseacres,
who hold that to add the British navy to
the available forces of the triple alliance
would be to make peace certain. On
make war more probable. Italy
would then be relieved of fear for her ex-
posed coast, which at present keeps her in
the path of comparative prudence. and could
send large masses of troops to the Rhine or
at all events keep large French army
occupied in Dauphine and Provence.
Without England Italy is not worth
much to the triple alliance, but if
England has been or can be induced to give
any sort of pledge that she will save the
italian fleet from destruction, or will pre-
vent descent upon the Italian coast, she
will be worth great deal. There is, there
fore, every motive to induce the Central Eu-
ropean powers TO win over England, if they
possibly can, and it is imperatively neces-
sary that English statesmen should be vigil
liant if the country is not to be drawn into
position opposed alike to her best traditions
and to her interests. To hold resolutely aloof
from either party, to bind ourselves lto
nothing. and to be ready to throw all our
is the true English policy.''

NEWSPAPER ETIQUETTE.
A Few Rules That Should BE Hung In
Every Printing Once.

1t very frequently happens that visitors
to printing office do things calculated to
annoy the employees. For the benefit of
these we print few rules:
When you enter q printing office do not
handle the type in case. II you want to
handle it say so to the printer and he will
be glad to leave his work and empty the
type upon the editors table, where you can
sit in his easy chair aud examine it at your
leisure Never mind putting back the
type-the printer can do that after you
have finished.
Don't read the proof sheets, clippings or
manuscript. If you wish to know what is
going to appear in the next issue of the
paper ask the editor TO read it aloud to YOU
He has plenty Of time, and will be grateful
to you for the chance to quit his work and
entertain you.
If you want to LOOK over the cash book
have the editor go and get it for YOU
Your interest will please him
Never ask for a sample copy. Discover
where they are kept and help yourself to
as many as you want Above all things do
not offend the editor by rendering payment
for them. 1t fiatters him to think YOU
want to read it, and it is cruel to end his
satisfying day dream by the mention of so
worldly thing as money. Besides he
only publishes it for the glory there is in it.
Just help yourself to the exchanges II
any are still in their wrappers take them
out by all means. They contain later news
than the others.
Before going make some pleasant remark
to the editor about how easy it is to run a
paper, and express your surprise that he
does not do it better. You would leave an
aching void in his heart should you forget
to do so.
If you are interested in seeing how things
look in type have the printer set up your
name in the incest type in the office and
then take it home with you for curiosity
The editor likes you to have memento Of
him. Other peoples forgetfulness is the
bane Of his existence
Ask the editor, if you are perfect
stranger to him, to supply you with du-
plicate key to his postofice box, SO you can
get his papers regularly. If he be gen
tleman he will give you the key without
asking; but some editors are not gentle
men.-Concord On. H. Times.
