A Sudden Illness.
HOUSE FURNIsHERS.

Some little excitement was
caused on Houston street, in the
Winslow block and vicinity last
night about 7:30 o'clock by the
sudden serious Illness of Mrs. Mil
Ter, a lady who occupies one OF the
upstairs apartments Of the build
ing.
She was at first reported to have
attempted to destroy herself, but
later it was given out that she had
merely become overheated and
had tainted.
A physician attended her and
today she is reported as being
much improved.
Her husband went to Galveston
last week.
They formerly lived in Kansas
City, Mo.
The truth OF the matter seems to
be that Mrs. M. had Mysteries and
took too large a dose of the medi-
cine left by her physician. This
did nothing but cause slight con.
vulsions.

EARNEST WILLIE"

Scores a Big Hit in His Address Yes
terday Before the B. Y. 7. L.
One of the finest addresses made be-
fore the B. Y. =. Z. convention was
that of viii d. Upshaw, of Atlanta,
Ga, better known to southern Baptists
as Earnest Willie" His talk yester-
terday morning was improptu, but a
glorious success. He was introduced
by President Harris as 'Our honorary
delegate from Atlanta, Ga" Sitting
in his rolling Sunny South chair he
made a rolling speech to the Sunny
South young people. From the first
he held the audience spell-bound. He
carried all before him, from laughter
to tears and back to laughter again.
At the close of his remarks he recited
MY Mother" beautiful tribute to
womanhoOd.
Earnest Willie's'' friends desire to
hear more from him, and he will prob
ably lecture at some of the churches
tomorrow night
In early manhood, with bright antic-
ipatiOns for the future, an accident be-
fell him which put him on the invalid
list for life. For seven years he was
not able to leave his bed. While suf-
fering the greatest physical pain, his
ambition, unhampered, was still to be
helpful to others. He dictated to his
young sister the book that has made
him known to thousands and thous-
ands of people, Earnest Willie, or
Echoes From a Recluse."

The Bronchos Improve Since the Re
turn of the Little Shortstop.
Now that Griffin is back in the game
the BrOnchOs ought to make better
showing. Mike Lawrence is covering
second base, but the outfieid is thereby
weakened with Miller in center and
Douglass in right. AS soon as second
base is provided for they ought to
make it interesting for any team in
the league. The cranks admit that
Kleeman, Griffin, Bulger, Lawrence
and Miller are as good in their respec-
tive positions as any players in the
league. Catcher Often has not show
ed up so well yet, but he may be hit
ting out of luck. In the pitchers de-
partment Parvin leads. Dwyer is a
good pitcher, but has been unlucky.

A HorrIble storr of ths se..

One of the most grewsome tales dug up out of the misty past is that told by the York (Me.) Courant of the wreck
 of the Nottingham Galley on Boon island. This vessel, which was bound to Boston from London, was driven on the island in a terrible gale on the night of December II, 1719. The wealth CT was so dreadful that some of the suf- ferers soon died. There was nothing to eat but shreds of raw hide, rockweed and few mussels. After a few days two of the men attempted to get to
 York on raft but were drowned. At last the hunger of the survivors became so raging that they ate some of the flesh of their dead comrades and, hav- ing no fire, must perforce swallow it raw. Immediately their dispositions,
 which had been kind and helpful, seemed to undergo total change. In stead of praying they began to swear and quarrels commenced. At last, after twenty-three days of this horrible life, they were rescued. being then mere skeletons and unable to walk. A light house was erected on the island in 1911.

Conscientious.

The best college scrnpe story, although it isn't at all medicated, and there fore objectionable from some points of view, is told in the Bath Independ- ent by Dr. Snipe. In his class at Yale, he says, was a student who climbed street lamp-posts and removed street signs for his room ornamentation. The chief of police at New Haven hap pened by accident one day to see the signs in his room, and after informing him that the fine for removing such articles was five dollars per sign, in- quired how many he had. The youth replied: Forty" The chief said if he would return them the mischief would be overlooked. On hunting up the signs the student discovered that he had but thirty-two, and that night he stole eight more in order to return, as be did next day. precisely forty sirnsi

ARRANGED HIS OWN FUNERAL.
And to Make Assurance Doubly Sure Had

And to Make Assurance Doubly Sure Had
 Dress Rehearsal.
 An eccentric citizen residing in the neighborhood of Avignon had drawn up special programme for his own funeral, and, in order to make sssur- ancc doubly sure and to see that every item was faithfully carried out, he had D rehearsal of the ceremony, says a Paris letter to the London Telegraph. Richaud, who is described as ian ex- cellent republican" is no friend of the church, and he has accordingly substi- tuted various songs of a political char acter for the mass for the dead. He had already had tomb constructed in a valley, far from the busy haunts of men. so there was no difficulty in the selection of ground on which this re- hearsal should be held, and after hir- ing a local band he issued invitations to the ceremony.
 The procession started from his house, Richaud leading the way with the banner of the Marie, and so the party advanced to the valley in which the tomb which is to be his last rest ing place has been erected. When all were gathered around the future grave a venerable republican moved forward, and, in voice quivering with emotion, delivered an address, in which he dwelt on the good qualities of Richaud, whom he particularly praised for hay. ing "been present during his lifetime at his own interment." Various pieces of music chosen by the organizer o1 this peculiar ceremony were then per. formed by the band, the programme concluding with songs and dances, as Citizen Richaud is kindly anxious that the spirits of the mourners when the genuine funeral comes off shall be raised ere they quit his grave and wend their way from the peaceful valley where his remains will repose back to the noise and turmoil of life. 1t is amusing to hear that the population was much impressed by the gran deur" of this rehearsal.

REFORMS IN TURKEY.
Every Kind of Physical Torture VIII
 Soon Be Abolished.

Every Kind of Physical Torture VIII
 Soon Be Abolished.
 The general plan proposed by Eng land, Russia and France for reform in the provinces of Turkey follows sug- gestions that have been made from time to time, chief among which are the appointment of high commission er, general amnesty for crimes and offenses other than those against the common law, the rehearing of certain trials, the stopping of pending political trials, the release of prisoners and the appointment of commission to sit at Constantinople and be associated with the high commissioner in super vising the reforms, says Harpers Weekly.
 Somewhat more in detail the reform CTS arc divided into three sections. The administrative reforms include the ap- pointment of Mohammedan and Chris tian governors and vice-governors in the provinces of Turkey east of Sivas for terms of five years and with the ap- proval of the powers. This is recon mended rather than required. The financial reforms include the collection of taxes by municipal agents instead of by soldiers or by treasury agents. The taxes are to be paid into the treasury of the district receiver, to be forwarded to the departmental receiver, and in turn to the receiver-general. Each body, however, is to retain in its treas ury enough to cover the expenses of local administration. The judicial re- forms extend the powers of the magis- trates, and the procedure in the courts of first instance will be established on a more regular footing. Aspecial com mission is to see that no Turkish sub feet is imprisoned without regular war rant of arrest, and also that the accused is to be examined within the period prescribed by law and released with out delay in the event of acquittal.
 Every kind of physical torture is to be abandoned. The number of Chris tian judges is to be increased in propor- tion to the number of Christian inhab itants in any district. There is also to be mixed gendarmerie, recruited in equal numbers from Mohammcdans and Christians. The Kurds are to be re- .aincd in the Hamidich cavalry, but are to keep their arms during the periods of exercise only; at other times the weapons are to be stored at the depots guarded by regular troops. Another clause provides that the government shall enforce the legal provisions with regard to religious confession and in- sure perfect freedom of rel: ious belief.

Persistent Authorization.

As an example of Authorizations which he attributes to disease of the parts of the brain where memory is located, Dr. Starr mentions the case of a young woman who was once frightened by white mouse, and for years afterward saw it running about her. She was shown the mouse was unreal by being requested to push one eyeball up little, the effect being to make real objects-but not imaginary 1nes-appear double.
