Unknown Macedonia,

Macedonia is practically as unknown to
the general public as the great Unshapen
Land in which dwelt the three Gray sis
ters who helped Perseus on his errand of
death Even the well informed politician
who could comfortably pick his way
through central Africa is very often un-
able TO tell the difference between Pomak
and Zinzar, Yooryk and an Arnaut or
to say whether they are fruits, implements
or peoples. Not only isshe geography Of
the country highly complicated and un-
satisfactory study, seeing that nearly ev-
cry district river, lake and town is known
by at least two wholly different names
the one Turkish and the other Slavonian,
Greek or Albanian, both Of which are oc-
casionally omitted from the few maps we
possess, but the ethnography is more be-
wildering than Chinese puzzle, and no
man born of woman can ever hope TO solve
the problems it offers in way that will
satisfy the peoples Of eastern Europe In
spite of railway net of about GOO miles
communications with the interior are not
merely primitive and painful, but highly
dangerous. 1t Is practically impossible to
visit any of the outlying and many of the
main districts without an escort OF Turk
ish zaptiohs, and sometimes oven n few Ar
naut cutthroats, as a homeopathic prccau-
tion over and above. There arc places In
Macedonia, especially in the country be-
tween the river Vardar, on the one side
and the Drin and Morava on the other,
which have been untrodden by European
feet since the days when warlike Samuel
was king, about 900 years ago.-Contem
porary Review.

Three Fires.

There was fire in the rear of the store
occupied by James M. Southwick and
Charles q. Calder, rear of 25S Westminster
street, at IL 20 o'clock last night, caused,
probably, by rats aud matches, and for a
time it looked serious. The stock OF
furs, artists supplies, etc, OF Calder d
Critchley suffered about s25 worth,
largely because OF smoke, and the loss on
the building was about S176.

New YORK. Nov. GA fresh crop OF buy

watched the trading carefully said IT looked

been seen. Bears ON Sugar say that they ana

argued that 1t would be absurd for insiders
TO encourage getting the prices down IN an
ticipation of the meeting of Congress and
then undo it all by running the price up
again. The break in Am. T. was considered
a drive by Mr.. We'll, but the fact that such
drive did not bring out more support was
evidence of something unsatisfactory in the
situation from the standpoint of the insiders.
Reports that the stock would so to 40 were
current. and were credited partly because

There was little preparation to make.
Two of the blacksmith 8 horses were set
apart for Mrs. Peters and her daughter
to ride ON. The 40 men in the party
were to carry their rations and ammu-
milton, the former being necessarily
light. first, because the supplies at the
Crossing were limited. and In the next
place because it was believed that Camp
Dick Robinson, rs miles to the north
west could be reached in five days.
In order to keep up the impression
that there were still men at the Cross
ing ready to resist an attack, IL was ar
ranged that the women should light the
beacons on the hills as soon as Dick
Bradley gave the order to march. This
was done so promptly that for hours the
fugitives could see the coppery glow OF
the fires on the clouds to the south. and
this strengthened the hope that there
would be no pursuit.
Although at the best the roads in this
region were wretched and now almost
impassable, IL was to their advantage
