Finally TIE dealer commenced suit

Affairs in Bulgaria have reached an
alarming crisis. Ex-Premier Siam
bulofl was assaulted at Sofia and died
from his wounds, Thursday. Stambu.
loft had been called the Bismarck of
Bulgaria. He stood for free and indie
pendent Bulgaria as against subsection
to Russia on one hand and to Turkey ON
the other. Turkey he did not fear, and
he was always a match for the machina-
tiOns of the Porte. But in the long run
he found Russia an unequal antagonist.
He combatted Russian intriguants for
ten years and while Prince Alexander
was on the throne the policy was resist
ance to Russia. When the present
ruler, Prince Ferdinand Of Saxe-C obmg
came into power the policy was chang
ed to cancellation. Last year Stambu-
LOFT because he unfalteringly pursued his
object, the independence Of Bulgaria
was delosed, but he was still a power to
be feared and reckoned with. and
though at first it appeared that his as
sassination might have been from mo-
tives of revenge on the part of some
whom he ruthlessly treated while in
office, the general judgment seems to
be that it was political murder in the
interests of Russia, and that Ferdinand
is morally responsible. The crime has
caused general Indignation and it is the
opinion that its effect upon the eastern
question may well be regarded as most
serious,

There is a difference of opinion RS to
the advantages of the summer schools
which are now so wide spread and pop
ular. summer is the vacation season
when both mind and body should have
a chance to rest. 1t is the seventh
day of the year, and the word, school,
is always suggestive of hard work
But the one hundred or more summer
schools in this country are not usually
attended by those who have been giving
the rest of the year to hard study.
Their patrons are largely made mp of
teachers and others who have had little
time for self Improvement during their
work. Here they find change of scene,
pleasant companions and IA chance to
study subjects which are of especial in
terest to them, for "A few weeks. They
think new thoughts and gather fresh
ideas which will give them help and
pleasure for the months to come. All of
which is strong argument in favor of
summer schools and is especially realiz-
ed by the thousands who attend them.

The Portland Press tells a capital
story Illustrating the readiness and the
Wit of the late Prof. Dung of Bowdoin.
While he was in the senate. there was a
contest in the PiscataQuis delegation
over the nomination of member of the
Governors council. There were several
candidates, as many or more than there
were representatives from the county.
The late A. 9. Lebroke of FoXcroft, who
WAS man of humor, WAS then a senator
from Piscataquis; and the duty deyolved
upon him Of explaining that the dele
cation from his county, on account of
the candidates outnumbering the dclega-
ton, couldnot agree and must refer the
matter to the general caucus. Mr.. I.e-
broke had no sooner finished his eXplana-
ton than Mr.. Young was upon his feet.
The dilemma of our friends from PisCat-
aquis.' said he. "recalls 10 my mind the
