A comparison between the annual
revenues Of the byzantine empire In
the beginning Of the thirteenth CEN
tury and the present revenues OF the
empire OF tha Ottoman Turks brings
before the mind'a eye n picture OF the
lost grandeur and wealth OF provinces
over which now broods the silence OF
desolation. At the periods mentioned
tho domlulonB OF the Greek ompcrors
at Constaniinople had been lmpover-
ished by tho invasion OF the Frank
Crusaders. and the chief part OF Asia
Minor, with It's Hourishlng cities. mad
been wrestcd from the byzantine mon,
archs by conquering Islam: yet the an
nual income Of the successors OF Con-
stantlno amounted TO sG5O.OOO. 900,
Tho revenues OF the 6ullnn's empire
have shrunk to S9O.OOO,OOO per year.
Such IL the blight which Turkish mis-
rule has brought upon some OF the fair
est regions OF the Philadelphia
Record.

Shot a Chicken Thief.

For some time past, c. A. Thorp,
of Lark, /. T., has been missing his
chickens, and last night about 9
o'clock he went out of his house to
see what it was raising a disturbance
in a large elm tree near his barn lot
aud seeing as he supposed man in
the tree, he pulled down on the
chicken thief with his winchester
and fired. He took no further
trouble about the matter, but retired
to his bed. This morning he found
the body of Willis Walker, on his
premises, with bullet hole through
his body on the right side just above
the belt. Mr.. Thorp came to Sher-
man at once and gave himself up to
Deputy U. s. Marshal, Lee McAffee
and is now awaiting a hearing before
Commissioner Grant. Willis Walker
was a citizen of Grayson county, and
his bereaved family now reside near
the little town of Gage.

A RACE WORTH SEEING.
A Sextupet Runs Away From the En-
pire State Express.

Syracuse, n. Y, July 2S.-When the
western Empire state express was about
two miles west of Syracuse this afternoon
it raced with six athletic young men on
a seXtuplet Arrangements for the race
were quietly completed several days ago.
At this point is Il stretch of cinder path
about four feet wide and mile and a
half long As soon as the Empire hove
in sight the seXtuplet got under way.
The Empire was soon abreast and the
race began. For Il quarter of mile it
seemed an even thing. At the end of
Il half mile the seXtuplet was four lengths
ahead. The seXtuplet was then obliged
to slow down owing to Il short bridge
about q mile ahead. A number of rail
way officials and bicycle men witnessed
the race and photographs of the race were
secured.
