The Unavailable Turk.

The unspeakable Turk began to be the
very sick indeed several times since.
This time it really does look as if he
was sick unto DEATH But / don't
know. Perhaps it is only another attack
from which he will rally. Perhaps be-
fore these words are printed he may be
in extremis. For many reasons we must
of course ardently desire his removal,
bag and baggage, with all that is his, and
as ardently we must desire that he may
never come back again. Yet we must
agree that he has made the most pic
turesque history possible. What are the
wars of England and France compared
with the wars between one Christian
power after another with the grand
Turk? His cruelties, his despotism, his
harem, his galleys and galley slaves, his
famous bodyguard, are they not all pic
lures in the page of history? Surely
some gratitude is due to the Moslem for
those things. He fights like bulldog;
he sacks towns and murders every man,
woman and child in them his virtues
are our vices he practices things which
we abhor; you can never hope to make
a Christian of him; out of all the west
ern arts he takes only those which min
lister to his pleasures. I'm faot, everything
that goes to the making of a picture is
to be found in the life, the character and
the history of the Turk. Let him go
by all means. 1 suppose that as soon as
the powers are agreed upon the future
of Constantinople he will go. But when
will that agreement arrive? And, to re-
peat, l doubt once more whether the
sick man is really sick unto DEATH

To the Editor of The State Journal:
Since an item has appeared in your
paper concerning the unpleasantness be
tween Fred Brown and T. I wish to say
to the public that the y. NJ c. A. is in
no way to blame for this stain which we
boys in settling our quarrel, brought on
the association
1T is true that we fought in the asso-
citation rooms, but it was in one of the
unfinished rooms which is never used.
1T was done without the knowledge of
the officers of the association and we
knew it was contrary to the rules.
1t was not over love affair as stated
and our faces We're not bruised up in
the least. To clear the assOcia ton from
all blame, I went to Mr.. Lerrigo ON
Saturday eve, and frankly told him the
whole thing from beginning to end and
then in compliance with his request /
went out to Mr.. OTIS residence. and told
him the whole thing. We did not part
from the room as we went in, but after
the fight L then apOlogized to him for
what 1 had said. that I was sorry for
having spoken so quickly, shook hands
with him, and proclaimed friendship
which L hope viii never be broken
am sorry that such thing as this
should have occurred, and it is not thar
toriety, as this is the first time we We're
ever in a fuss like this. but to exonerate
the Y. NJ. @. "A. from all blame

PLAGUE AMONG RABBITS.
Many of the Animals are Dying From
Diphtheria.

bloomington. Ill. Dec efficiently q
number Of rabbits have been found dead
in the fields in this vicinity. A micro
scOpicaI examination made by local bac-
teriologist has demonstrated the fact that
the lungs are fun of pus, which shows the
presence of the bacillus of diphtheria
The kidneys were found to be white and
greatly infamed. The conditions discov-
cred are similar to those found in dfph-
iberia in domestic cats and reported by
Eklein, of London, Eng. In case of the
cats when the diseased kidneys were fed
to other cats diphtheria resulted.
Farmers report many rabbits found
dead in hedges. At first they supposed
that the animals had been wounded by
hunters or dogs. but no marks of shot or
dogs teeth are found upon the animals.
