The po,aaks Of Rhodope.

Who on earth, or what on earth, are
the Pomaks? is the question which will
suggest itself to most of those who
glance at tho heading of this article.
The Pomaks are Bulgarophone Moham-
medan Bulgarians-that is to say, they
are Bulgarians who kave adopted the
creed of Islam, but retained their own
language. With their native speech
they have preserved certain usages and
customs Of their own race, thus afford
ing to the ethnologist an admirable field
for speculation as to the extent to which
change of religion, unaccompanied
by other influences. can modify the in
grained characteristics of nation.
There are Ponaks in many parts of
Bulgaria, but the Ponak territory par
excellence lies in the widest, remotest
region of the Balkan peninsula, in the
heart of Rhodope, terra incognita to
the European traveller, and known only
by report to the neighboring races in
ancient days the haunt of the frenzied
Bacchantes,
OF that wild rout that tore the Thracian bard
In Rhodope, when woods and rocks had ears
To rapture, till the savage clamor drowned
Both harp and voice
and in later times the inaccessible re-
treat of fierce, fanatical mountaineers,
who scorned for centuries the rule of
Turk and Christian alike, and bravely
resisted every effort to bring them into
subjection. 1t was only quite recently
that a Bulgarian force succeeded in oc-
cupyin2 the remoter portion of the
Pomak territory assigned seven years
ago by ths convention of Top Khane to
Eastern Roumelia. .-Fortnightly Re-

EprToRs HERALD: In reply to the
letter in today's HERALD, signed by W..
Ward, H. Kracke, Thomas r. Lane and
James d. Lane, stating that the pub
liehed report was false, l beg to assure
you that the report, as published, was
correct in every respect. and can be con-
frmed by the members OF the associa-
ton. The attack on the association,
now being made through the HERALD,
10 started and engineered Dy the two
Lane brothers, who have been expelled
from the association for misconduct and
disturbing the peace. The eigners OF
the letters are few of the poor ignor-
ant deaf mutes who know no better
than to make trouble and hin
der the good work which has been
started and conducted gratuitously
by the missionary and few 9th
ers interested in the spiritual and
temporal Welfare of deaf mutes in our
city. Their time and money have been
generously expended and those deal
mutes who have received the most as
sistance from the association have
turned out to be the most ungrateiul.
BY calling on Chief of Police Glass any
one can learn the true character OF these
two Lane brothers who have been the
prime cause of all the trouble and have
been working hard to destroy the good
done by the association. The respect
able membe OF the association desire
peace and quiet and have had to appeal
more than once to the police to secure
it and the police have had to warn the
Lanes to cease their annoyance. They
now use the columns of the HERALD to
carry on their annoyance. The work OF
the association is open to the public and
any one desiring further information
can obtain it by applying to any OF the
committee or to

Crossroads Burials.

Formerly it was a general custom to
erect crosses at the junction of four
crossroads ON place self consecrated ac-
cording to the piety of the age. Suicides
and notoriously bad characters were
frequently buried near to these, not
with the notion of indign1ty, but in a
spirit of charity that, being excluded
from holy rites, they by being buried at
crossroads might be in places next in
sanctity to ground actually consecrated.
