EUROPEAN RULE IN TURKEY.
A Scheme For Joint Control of the
Nations Finances.


London, Nov. 1.-THE Morning Post
has a Constantlnople dispatch which
states that the porte has acceded to the
demand made upon 1t by the embassies
that all the judgments rendered by the
supreme tribunal be revised.
In its issue tomorrow the Daily News
will claim on what II declares to be credi-
table authority, that the powers are con-
sidering a scheme for the financial con-
troll of Turkey under European ministers.
1t says that Sir Edgar Vicent an Eng
llshman, who Is governor Of the Imperial
Ottoman Bank, has been mentioned for
the ministry Of finance. A Russian officer
will probably be minister OF war, and a
Frenchman minister of the interior. The
grand vizier will remain president of the
council df state. The appointments are
being submitted to the powers. 1t is un-
derstood Hhat the heads Of the scheme
are: f
r. First. the raising of loan OF f5,00000O
and the placing of the police under Eu-
ropean control.
Second, a reduction OF the army.
Third, each vilaya to have a European
receiver, who shall be answerable to The
minister Of finance, for collecting taxes
and paying salaries
Fourth, a complete revision OF the civil
and military lists. and the removal of any
officers who have been convicted of crimes,
or who are otherwise unfit for office
Fifth, an entire reorganization of the
gendarmie.
Sixth, no person to be debarred from
holding Office because of his religion.
Seventh, all communities to have equal
rights.
The scheme aims to maintain the integrl-
ty OF the empire, but does not necessarily
presuppose the retention OF Abdul Hamid
as sultan.

length the latter got irritated. "Does
the senator from New York" he

every time he turns to me?" For a
moment Mr.. Conkling l.esitated, and
everybody expected terrific explo-

courtesy, he replied: ''When l speak

WEDDING BELLS.

The marriage laws in Australia are
becoming quite strict. A marriage
there has been declared void because
the bride had deceived the husband
by stating that she was fifteen years
younger than her age.
"The Bachelors Ready Marriage
club" an organization designed for
the purpose of providing the neces-
sary funds for any member who de-
sires to be married, is in progress of
formation in New York.
Two old slaves, John Thompson,
aged IS years, and Kitty Owens, 20
years old, were married at Louisville,
the other day. They were lovers pre-
vious TO the war, but from that time
until short time ago they had not

Saves n Fortune.

Monterey, Tenn, (SpeciaD-One of
our prominent citizens here, Col. James
E. Jones, secretary and treasurer of the
Cumberland Mountain Coal Co., is on
the high road to make his fortune, and
attributes the fact to his recent cure
from the tobacco habit. He was an
inveterate user of tobacco for many
years, consuming so much as to make
serious inroads on both his purse and
his health. One kox of No-To-Bac COM
pletely cured him, and he gained seven
pounds in less than two weeks. Within
three days after starting to use No-To-
Bac the desire for tobacco was entirely
gone. Col. Jones says to all tobacco
users that No-To-Bac will do as recon-
mended and is worth by far more than
its weight in gold.

A court story comes from London.

A court story comes from London.
1t happened in the lord chief Justices
court the other day. A telegram had
been addressed to a solicitor who was
engaged in the court and intrusted to a
small boy messenger. The youngster,
seeing the name Lord Chief Justice"
on the cover, coolly marched up on the
bench, and tapped his lordship on the
shoulder. The court held its breath to
see what would be the consequence of
this imprudent assault upon the majes-
ty of the law. But the rafters We're
not riven, and the youthful offender
was not removed in manacles to purge
his contempt of court. Lord Russell
contented himself with mildly waving
the intruder back to his proper place.
The small boy knew his business. He
had taken notes before from the same
party to his legal and learned wool
sack nibs.

The Bicycles Rights.

Andrew Rehm, the driver of an ice
wagon in Brooklyn, ran into a bicycle
owned by Spencer c. Crane recently,
while it was standing upright against
the gutter, in the absence of the owner
who was in a neighboring store, and
damaged it. Mr.. Crane sued the driv-
er, and Judge Neu said: The owner
of the wheel was not bound to take it
out of the gutter; it was not negligence
on his part to leave it there; the wheel
had as much right in the gutter as the
wagon" Men who are selfish, and who
have wheels in their heads, will learn
in due time that the bicycle riders have
rights that ice-wagon citizens are COM
PEELED to respect.
