VARNA, Bulgaria, Notwithstanding
to advices received here from CONSTANT
nople, q most serious condition of affairs
exists there. There seems to be no
doubt that the report of the discovery Of
a plot against the palace on Monday
evening last is correct, and three Mus
sulmans are said to have been arrested
at STEAMBOAT in connection with it. Ia
addition several houses have been
searched and D quantity of arms has,
been seized.
Considerable alarm is reported to
exist at the Yildiz Kiosk, in collse-
queuce Of the fact that Albanian guards
refuse to do duty there any longer. It
is supposed that the guards wers
suborned by the Mussullnan COMMITTEES
and there seems to be little doubt but
that eight Of the soldiers were executed
and "a others were sent to the different
prisons.

As the Eastbound C. & 0. local train No. s.

the cut near West End siding it was discov
cred that man was on the track, and he was
so near that the train could not be stopped in

A TEXAS HAIL SToRM.-A special
from San Antonio, Tex. says: The ter
rifle hail which swept through Wilson
Bexar and Medina counties Wednes
day night did much damage. The hail
stones were the size of goose eggs and
covered the ground to the depth of two
feet, the towns of Lytle, Benton City
and Castorville being riddled like a
sieve by the hail stones. The damage
to the residence and business houses in
Iytle alone amount to s.bout $50, 900
Hundreds of head of life stock were
killed. The tracks of the Information
al and Great Northern railroads were
blockaded with hail stones and they
had to be removed before trains could
proceed. The cotton and corn crops
in the path of the storm were com
pletely destroyed. Two hundred
thousand dollars, it is estimated, will
hardly cover the amount of damage to
crops and other property. A subscrip
ton was started yesterday for the re-
lief of sufferers from the storm.

Mo Female LAWYERS.

The action of the Court of Appeals of this
State in denying to Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood
permission to practice law in that court, will
receive the general approval of the people Of
this State, who do not wish TO have female
lawyers in their court-houses. No woman OF
proper feminine delicacy would desire to par
ticipaIe in, or be present at, the scenes that
are there necessarily acted in some trials.
In its last days, the former Court of APP.
peals granted Mrs. Lockwoods application,
but she failed to qualify.

The Atlanta Constitution after dis
cussing the fact that the French suffer
less from panics and depressions than
any other people on the globe because
there every person saves something for
a rainy day, says: Every child should
be taught the Importance of saving
without being avaricious and niggard-
ly. We need more thrift. The average
American wage-earner wastes enough
in his lifetime to make him comforta-
BILE in his old age. We should take a
