The UnspeakabIe Turk.

The Sultan of Turkey has at
tempted to defy the united Pow
ers. of all Europe, and continue
the war against Greece. The
Powers, however, have united
in q formal warning to the Sultan
that hostllities must cease. A
commenting on
the present state of affairs, says
the Porte is inviting trouble at q
rate hitherto unknown. 1t IS to
be hoped that the Sultan, for his
own sake, has literally padded
his trousers and laid in gener-
GUS stock of courtplaster; for the
European concert is likely to de-
velop unusual harmony during
the ensuing week. Turkey won't
back down, and she defiantly re-
marks that the great powers
can't make her back down. In
view of this critical situation. it
is time for the European concert
to get together for a few more
rehearsals.

TIE charlie Ross Mystery.

It seems that the mystery as
to the fate of Charley Ross is
solved at last. The brother of
Mosher. one of the abductors of
the boy. has confessed that after
Mosher's death at Bay Ridge
Charley was murdered and buri-
ed in the cellar of a house at No.
SIS Grand street. New York. The
skeleton of the boy was turned
over to Mr.. Ross years ago, but
the father never gave up hope
of recovering his 500, thinking
that he might possibly have been
deceived by receiving the bones
of another child of about the
same age. Now that Mr.. Ross is
dead, Mosher's brother is said to
have told all he knew about the
case. The boy was killed because

IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Pittsburg Times.
The eye of the striking miner
is turned toward West vireinia.
and with sufficient cause. Three
years ago West Virginia was 10.
sponsible for the failure Of the
strike, and the same conditions
are threatened this year. West
Virginia has an abundance Of
good coal. The distance TO the.
markets is not much different
from that of the mines in the
Pittsburg district. II has been
charged that the railroads have
made favorable shipping rates
that put West Virginia on a bet.
ter basis than the mines of com.
peting districts. To make the
situation more unsatisfactory to
the miners who. are on strike,
the miners of some sections 81
West Virginia have been given
an advance. and are reported to
be working contentedly.
With the West Virginia oper:
ator more is involved than merely
the success or failure Of a strike.
He is concerned in establishing
his market against the older dis
tricts, and he will permit no
chance like this to escape him,
for it offers an opportunity TO
broaden his influence in places
from which Pittsburg coal may
be temporarily shut out. Besides
a war of miner against operator,
something of n war of district
against district comes to theisur:
face. 1t is. a condition that has
been developing since the Baltis
more & Ohio railroad began to
cultivate the traffic that originals
ed in the Fairmont field, and es-
pecially since the railroad was
opened from Morgantown to
Clarksburg, which penetrates
most of the region. This is one
factor that enters into the strike,
and it cannot be said to augurS
any good to the strikers.

WHEREAS, We the teachers OF

/. WHEREAS, Some of our
teachers do not only degrade the

that our school system was de-

ly request but demand that the
Board of Examiners do not

of Examiners revoke the certifi-
cate of any teacher when it has
sufficient evidence of an immoral
life.

Bicycle Prices.

|t-'f To- -----------------
Rittsburgh Times.l
When the bicycle first appear
ed the spectacle of . man bal
ancing himself upon two wheels,
The one following the other, was
such q marvel and a miracle to
most people. and apparently so
dangerous a performance, that it
was thought that very few would
have the courage to attempt it,
and that to manage the machine
required some special gift. This
being the case it was supposed
that only q few people, possess
ed of great courage and having
their families amply provided
for in case Of accident. would at.
tempt to propel themselves in
that way, and consequently there
would be but q limited demand
for the machines They were
made and sold therefore at fancy
prices. The earlier ones, where
the rider sat perched perilously
on top of q six.foot wheel with Q
little one trailing behind. cost
from $l75 to 5000, and it requir-
led both a great deal of courage
and considerable cash to own and
ride one.
Up to that time the public i'm.
preston of the danger of that
method of locomotion remained
but when the safety, which
brought the feet Of the rider
much nearer the ground, and
which, unlike its predecessor,
would not kick up behind and
ihurl him over a fence, came in
vogue. the fear of the machine
largely vanished, and men and
women were not slow to see the
advantages of a vehicle that
would treble or quadruple the
locomotive powers of their legs.
But stilla high price was main
taiued for the few pounds of
steel that entered into the simple
mechanism. and the impression
was kept up fora long time that
there was no safety or satisfac-
ton in q wheel that cost less than
800 or 1925.
It has taken a good while to
breakup that idea. as it did in
the case of the sewing machine ;
but it has come at last and now
prices are coming down to nearly
their normal level. From now
on'the average man is likely to
pay about as much for his bicycle
as he pays for a good suit Of
clothes. If there was any doubt
before as to the universal reign
ofthe bike twill disappear now.
They are practically within the
reach of every one. and there are
few indeed to whom they do not
commend themselves either for
business or pleasure.
