THE war outlook in Europe is I'M
doGDtedly more serious now than it has
been for number of years. The allow
ing of Russian war ship to pass
through the Dardenelles by the Turkish
government. in direct violation of treaty
stipulations, gave rise to much specu-
lation that was answered the other day
by the seizure and garrisoning, by the
British, of Mitylene, an island within
sixty miles Of the Dardenelles. Nifty
lene belongs to Turkey, and how things
can be Strengthened out without feathers
flying is a problem that even European
diplomacy will be unequal to.

cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto

ABOUT COMMON NAMES

Surnames derived from trades and oc-
equations are more numerous than that
of any other class, except patronymic
and place names, says the st. Louis Re-
publican Some of them belong to ex-
listing trades; such are the MasOns. Car
penters, Taylors. Smith, Gardeners.
Fullers, etc. Others represent trades,
or at least obsolete Technology.
Among this latter class we find the
Fletcners (arrow makers), the Arblast-
ers, who manufactured arblasts, or
cross bows, and the fuckers, who work
ed in the tucking mills, where cloth was
prepared for market A man who
bakes is called baker, but in former
times woman who made business of
baking was called bakesier, hence the
surname Baxter So, too, man who
brews is called brewer. while wo-
man engaged in the occupation is a
brewster, In medieval English the ter
mination ''ster" was feminine one,
and it still survives in its primitive sig
nificance in spinster. A huckster was
originally market woman, but the
word has now come TO mean any body.
male or female, who "hawk" goods in
public streets.
The use of fixed family suruames
cannot be traced much further back
than the middle of the tenth century.
They first came into use in France, par
ticularlv in Normandy. Thew were in
troduced in England at the time of the
conquest, having become quite general
at the time of the doomsday valuation.
The number of existing surnames in
England at the present time closely APP
proaches 10000; in the United States
the number is far greater.

A TREMENDOUS pressure will be
brought to bear to close the Norld )
Fair Oh Sundays, but 30 the agitators
of the question realize the thousands Of
people who will be deprived of pleasure

take day of to see the fair without
losing the very means the holidays
expenses would require. To those with
ample time and money il does not

Chicago's Demand for Five
Million.
NeU York Sun.


The great bunco game entered into
by the city of Chicago in order to secure
the worald' fair has reached the part
that must be played directly in full view
of the public. The foundations of the
enterprise are strong enough, both in
the practical work done on the spot
and in the public acceptance of
the prospect that the fair is to be in
| Chicago. to indicate the moment for
flat demand for money from the federal
government. They want s., 200, 900.
Alongside of the recollection that the
government had great difficulty in get
ting Philadelphia to pay its loan in 1876,
the Chicago Tribune engages that there
shall not be any such difficulty in this
case. 1t estimates that $1,000 900 will
be taken in at the gates. that 81 600, 600
will be received for privileges and that
there will be 100000 of salvage.
This, says our contemporary, "makes
total of 81, GOO 600 that can be offered
as security for loan of $4,000, 600.
We will venture to say that the security
which Young Russell Harrison recently
undertook to put up for loan in Wall
street without success would have been
pronounced gilt edged in comparison
with the visionary collateral offered to
the government by Chicago
The final argument in this appeal is
that the enterprise is national one

tai in fact. New York. For reasons of
politics the republican party of New
York, guided by Thomas c. Platt,
fought the interests of New York with
yenomously successful earnestness-a
policy whicl was evidently concurred
in and approved by decentralization
and the republican administration.
The Illinois congressman, with William
NJ. Springer at their head, protested
that Chicago and Illinois were prepared
to assume the entire burden, with every
exhibition of ability. determination and
sincerity. Yet now Chicago begs.
We have little doubt that so eager
were the inhabitants of Chicago to get

value to their city, that they would

it. Yet, in spite of protestations and
promises and buster, tn want money

She Allows No Kodak Fiend to ''Talk
Through a Tallyfone to Her Mandy"
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
PLAIN CITY, O., Dec. 17.-Mrs. Martha
Cradle lives in log house which is a relic
of the pioneer days, on the back part OF
the Mitchell farm, near this place. She has
three children, the eldest Of whom is
Amanda. comedy girl Of 16, and Mrs.
Cradle, though poor and Ignorant, is very
fond of her, and properly careful az to her
choice Of associates.
A few days ago the old lady sharply or
dered q young sutton Of her daughter, named
Peters, to leave her presence and stay away,
under threats Of severe corporal punish
ment; and to-day when she saw a young
member of Columbus amateur camera
club focusing his instruments on the house
she elevated her spectacles on her wrinkled
forehead and remarked: there's that pesky
Peters talking through tallyfone TO
Mandy, sure's shootin'.n Then she took
down an ancient shotgun which was loaded
for small game and deliberately blazed
away with it at the supposed Peters, tearing
the face Of the camera into flinders and
perforating the amateurs coat collar with
birdshot.
The young man vacated the premises
without asking for or offering an explana-
ton, and while waiting at the railway
station for the first train to Columbus he
confidingly related the particulars of his
narrow escape from ASSASSINATION to O
clerical looking gentleman who engaged
him in conversation, concluding with the
remark that he was awfully thankful that
the adventure occurred too far out Of the
city for the possible presence of a news
paper reporter.

Here is a mountaineering story just
brought to light. 1t was not as destructive
nor quite az sensational as that which the
late Mr.. Norcross caused to be told,
but it created great stir In
Harlem. The scene was Jacob Rup-
pert's cafe, adjoining his brewery, Ninety
first street and Third avenue, and the
time Dec. 4. A quiet group of men sat
about the room. At one table sat jacob

They were reading the latest account of the
Russell Sage disaster. Outside it was rain-
ing and blowing at a terrible rate Poles
were being bowled down and sidewalks
were being torn up. Inside the men talked
of bombs and bomb-throwers. A Thousand
ways were devised to avoid contact with
dynamite in q crank's hand
just as they were in the midst OF this dis
oussion the door opened and an unknown
man walked in. He stood at the door a

The men at the table glanced up, but see
ing nothing to attract them turned their OF
tention once more TO the dismal subject in
hand. The bartender kept his eye on the
stranger. He thought he noticed a wild
look in his eyes. His tattered coat wes but
toned up closely ana the collar covered his
chin. A scraggy beard escaped over it and
dangled along Like fringe Of Herr Most's
wind-coaxers.

FEARS OF A WEALTHY WOMAN
Subsisting on Charity While Laboring
Under Vague Decisions.

OuQer vague O0luSlOnS.
From the Chicago Times.
BURLINGTON, IA, Dec. 1S.-A stranger
arrived 10 this city to-day and registered at
the Duncan hotel under the name of w. P.
White. He registered from Hennessey, o. T
1t was learned later, however, that the
mans real name is William Osborn, a
deputy marshal Of Oklahoma, and that he
was not here in quest of criminals, but was
looking for his mother. He tells strange
and pathetic story. Last April William
Osborn's mother left her sons home and
went 20 Kansas to visit relatives. She is a
widow, cultured and refined, and possessed
of considerable property, but large por-
ton OF her estate had become involved and
left her without an income to which she was
entitled. AT the time she left her sons
home in Kansas her estate Of about $75, 600
was in the New York courts Her son gave
her good sum of money when she went
away and charged her to draw on him for
any further funds that she might need.
Osborn heard Of his mother from time to
time in different parts OF Kansas, where she
visited relatives, but was not aware that she
had become possessed of a strange fancy.
which is that she fears some one is following
her with evil purpose. 1t Is learned that,
impressed by these fears, she has fed
from city to town in Kansas hiding
herself In obscure places from fear of some
imaginary pursuer. Ii is believed her mind
has become deranged through her property
troubles. The saddest part OF the story was
learned when Osborn reached Burlington.
Mrs. Osborn has been in Burlington for the
last six months acting in the capacity of
nurse in several families and part of the
time subsisting upon charity at the hospi-
tails. She recovered from an attack of ill
ness and then being seized with a vague fear
that some one was after her started for Chi
cago. Mrs. Osborn is entitled TO an estate
valued at $50. coo, but has nearly starved on
various occasions. Her son departed to.
night for Chicago to find her if possible.

4 HORRIBLE ACCIDENT,
One Hundred Lives Lost by a Falling
 Building.

One Hundred Lives Lost by a Falling
 Building.
 A horrible disaster took place in Park place, New York city, Saturday afternoon, at 12 80 o'clock, when a five story building without one sign of warn ing, crashed to the ground. It is esti- mated that at the time of the accident there were at least 500 persons in the building. The lowest estimate now makes the loss of life at least 100. The work of recovering the bodies is very slow, owing to the large amount of de- bris which has to be removed. The scenes around the place of the disaster are most heart rending, as friends and relatives wait for the bodies of loved ones, which they know are buried be- meath the pile to be recovered. Fire breaking out, added greatly to the hor- TOT of the scene, .charring the bodies of the victims so as to be beyond recog- milton.
 The probable cause of the fall of the building was the immenseweight of many printing presses together with tons of paper, all in the upper story. The presses were all in motion at the time.

AMY CAPTURED.

Frank Amy, the New Hampshire murderer, for whose capture there was reward of $4O0O offered and for whom search for many weeks has been con- stantly made throughout all the north eastern part of the United States and Canada, was captured last Thursday in the barn belonging to the father of the girl whom he so brutely murdered June IA. He had been secreted in that place ever since committing the crime, and was only discovered by accident. He was only induced to come out of his hiding place after much shooting and being wounded in three places. by a promise of fair trial.
 The crime he committed was the murder of Christie Warren, the daugh- ter of the farmer for whom he had been working and from whose service he had been discharged on account of his un- desired attention to his daughter. Since his arrest he has been identified as George H. Abbott, an expert burglar and desperate criminal, who escaped from the Vermont state prison about six years ago.
