Elisha X. Brown, indicted for breaking

DISCHARGED BUT AGAIN ARRESTED.
John Coyle, a peddler, who was indict-
ed for the theft Of a clock, a work basket
and some other articles, was this morning
acgui ted by jury.
Judge Wilbur said to Coyle: "Young
man, jury has said you were not guilty
of the crime charged against you; now be
careful how you behave in the future"
The admonition of his honor must have
seemed strange to Coyle few minutes
later, for before he left the courthouse
Detective Parker arrested him. 1t seems
that some of the property Coyle was
charged with stealing did not belong to

arrest was made to try to punish Coyie

In it's issue of October l the New

silver basis country in the world
where workingmen are so we'll off
as they are here. There is TO sill
ver basis country where wages are
so high. There is no silver basis
country where money received for
wages buys SO much. Why should
any wage Garner vote to make this
a silver basis country?' This is
only part of the truth. The
World needed t" go good deal
further to get the whole truth. 1t
should have said: "'There is no
silver basis country or gold basis
country or any country on earth
where men are so we'll off as here
where wages are so high, or where
the money received for wages will
buy SO much. And applying its
own logic, it might have asked.
"Why shoad any wage Garner
vote to do away with the protec-
tive tariff system under which all
these things have been gained.
Why vote to admit free to our
ports the products of the lower
paid, down trodden labor of those
countries. We can tell the
World hat the American wage
earners won't vote that way again
and that in November they will
vote to take back the step they
made toward free trade four years
ago.

The Ottoman Empire.

In the beginning of the thirteenth GEN.
tury the annual revenue Of the Byzantine
empire amounted to e13O,OO0,0O0. Yet
at that time not only was the eastern
empire greatly impoverished by the
ravages of the crusades, but the chief
part of Asia Minor, with its fourishing
cities, had been wrested from her by the
arms of Islam. Today the revenue of the
Ottoman empire is less than Els, 00O,-
OOO The silence of desolation now
broods over vast regions which were once
thickly peopled. well cultivated, abound
ing in flourishing cities and rejoicing in
an advanced civilization. Territories
which formerly supported the capitals Of
ancient ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Sardis,
Cyzicus, Prusium, Troy, Nicomedia and
many more-have been reduced under
Islam to cherries solitudes, broken at
intervals by Kurds or wandering Turko-
mans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 20
years in the civil administration of the
porte and wrote in defense Of Turkey 40
years ago, the annual produce Of corn in
Asia Minor was then estimated at 25,-
900, 900 Turkish kiles, which, he thinks.
might easily be increased tenfold eff the
great productiveness of the soil were
turned to account. - "The same re-
mark" he adds, ''applies to all other
productions which serve for local con-
sumption or for expectation. But in
stead of increasing during the last 40
years there has been an accelerated de-
crease. The decay Of every kind Of man
ufacture has kept pace with the decline
Of agriculture. Diarbekir and Broussa,
once SO famous for their velvets, satins
and silk stuffs, have been ruined. SO
have Aleppo and Bsgdad. Turkey
abounds also in mineral wealth. 1t pos
sesses copper mines which yield 30 per
cent of ore, while the best British mines
yield only about 10 per cent. And there
is coal in abundance within easy access.

as conld. The path downward was not
more than foot in width, and it re-

keep my footing. Suddenly on rounding
sharp angle in the face Of the preci-
pice was confronted by fiat rock five
minutes climb farther down. 1t seemed
to be set in the face of the crater and to
tut out, cutting off farther progress in
that direction. The rock was of a pc

upon itself the shape of monstrous

this was the golden hand of the Indian s
legend. I called to Tom, but he was far
below me. "Tom, the rock!" I cried
hoarsely, and my own voice sounded
strangely in my ears. But Tom had al
ready reached it. Suddenly scream Of
anguish shall never forget rose in that
awful stiffness, and in another instant
saw that ponderous hand of golden stone
sink lower, still lower. Another scream,
wilder than before, and Toms form
could be seen striving vainly to clutch
with his hands the smooth surface as it
sank downward with increasing rapid
ity. shut my eyes and listened. The
sight was too awful to bear. Whea I
opened them, the rock that had turned
on pivot with poor Tom s weight was
upright and was moving back to it's
original place. Of that frightful fall in
