the Balkan peninsula. Prince Ferdin-
and and King Milan are doubtless
anxious to obey the behests of their re-
spective patrons, but neither will go so
far as to risk the existence Of his
dynasty by deferring to the interested
eounsels of his powerful neighbors in
opposition to the popular will. In Bull
garia, especially, the situation bears a
remarkable resemblance to that which
existed in Greece in the spring of last
year. The Macedonian committees dis
pute with the government the right to
direct the affairs of the nation, and the
army, in which more than 600 officers
are of Macedonian origin, in honey
combed by the patriotic propaganda.
Hundreds of refugees at Sofia and else
where bring home to the people the
sufferings of their brethren beyond
the SHOWS of Rhodope. For the mo-
ment, however, the agitation is smould-
ering, While Prince Ferdinand and the
Sultan exchange compliments and pre-
sents, and the Bulgarian representa-
tive at Constantinople makes reassur-
ing speeches on behalf of his master.
Nevertheless, the critical season of
the year is approaching. The appear
ance of insurgent bands in the Mace
DOMAIN mountains at the beginning of
summer may be predicted to GER
tainty. This, indeed, is more or less an
annual phenomenon, and need not in
itself inspire any great alarm. But in
all probability the bands will this year
be larger and better organized than
usual; and the peasants, exasperated
by ill usage and oppression, will be
more deposed than heretofore to well
come them and supply them with pro-
visions All will then depend on the
conduct of the Turkish military and
civil officials. Should the barbarous
methods employed at the beginning of
this year be again resorted to, a more
or less general instruction will be the
result. and this will entail the inter-
ference Of Bulgaria, despite all the
promises, assurances, and presents
which Prince Ferdinand may lavish on
the Sultan and the Gear. Should Bull
garia, move, nothing short of an
Austrian occupation of Belgrade would
prevent Servia from following her ex-
ample. Constitutional government in
Servia has practically been replaced by
military dictatorship. King Milan is
still popular with the army, which he
has never led to victory, but beyond it's
ranks he has few friends. His enemies,
the Radicals, who form the bulk of the
nation, regard his presence in the coun-
try as a violation of the compact he
made with them many years ago which
imposed upon him perpetual banish-
ment and Russia is working siren
uously to effect his downfall. A bold
stroke in Macedonia would crafty the
chauyinism of the proletariat, and en-
able the army to obliterate the hateful
memory of Slivnitza.-Salonica Cor

TELEPHONING BETWEEN WAR
SHIPS

Communication from war ship to war
ship will soon be as easy as carrying on
a conversation betweent two military
posts on land, and by the same electri-
cal means-the telephone. The Eng
lish naval authorities have just tested
with great success q, suggested novelty
in the way of communication at sea
which promises to render obsolete the
present methods of signaling.
Commander r. G. o. Upper of the
Royal Navy experimental with kite
telephone The kite used was of the
regulation sort, except that it was
minus a tail. 1t was six feet long and
three feet wide at the broadcast point.
In place of the tail the kite carried two
lines, one of which was retained on
board the Daring, the Institutional tor
pedo boat destroyer, from which the
experiments We're conducted. With the
wind between the two lines referred to,
it was found that the kite was so easily
managed that it was no trick at all to
drop letters or even a hawser into an
other ship, and in this way establish
communication.
Following this experiment came one

dropped upon the deck of H. M. S.
Dauntless, where it was secured by the
electrician of the ship and attached 10
a telephone apparatus in waiting. The
other end, which had remained aboard
the Daring, was also attached to a
telephone, and as soon as this task W as
completed, the two ships were in per-
feet communication. The kite remained
suspended, secured by two lines, fol-
more than four hours, during which
time communication between the Oar
ing and the Dauntless was uninter-
rurted.

lives HAVE BEEN Saved
The New England States Give Proof
Of the Wonderful Power Of a
Famous Remedy.

From, the Vernloat Tribune, LudLo,U, W.
No more picturesque spot could be found
in the Green Mountain State than that of
Plymouth. II is situated far up in the
Black River Valley, twelve miles from
Ludlow and on the stage road from Ludlow
to Woodstock. 1t is surrounded by high
hills, which form part of the Green Noun
tain range. Aside from farming, the prin-
cipal industry is that of quarrying and burn.
ing lime.
One of the first to engage in the lime bust
ness in that town was Nathan Hall, who
died about two months ago at the great age
of SO years. He was a man of superior in
telligence and accumulated large property.
In fact, for more than two generations the
name of Hall has been associated with the
lime business at this place.
One of the sons of Nathan Hall is Eleazer
Hall, who is still carrying on the lime bust
ness. The report was circulating largely
some time ago that his two daughters had
received great benefit from the use of DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
your correspondent called on Mr.. Hall to
ascertain the real facts in the case. Mr.
Hall, and also his wife, spoke freely and
enthusiastically of what this remedy had
done for their daughters, Cora and Nellie.
Referring to this statement of her husband
Mrs. Hall said:
1t is true every word of it, and if only
could reach the tired and worn mothers
&c I'm bo Iofl cry,I~ how
much good l could do by telling this story
of my Cora. have had people stop me in
the road to inquire what it was that helped
her, and truly could say, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Four boxes at
the price of one Doctors visit from Ludlow
{S2.00) has done it all; six boxes taken in
all"
Following is Mr. Halls sworn statement
II, Eleazer A. Hall, of Plymouth, VT,
make the following statement in regard to
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People by the members of my own family,
principally by my daughters Cora Belle
Hall and Nellie A. Hall, aged respectively
twenty-four and twenty years.
"About four years ago | was visiting rela.
tives in Granville, VT. and as my oldest
daughters health needed attention l was on
the lookout for remedies and there became
first acquainted with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and purchased the first
box. Ny daughter Cora afterward took six
boxes of these pills which so completely
cured her that she was restored to complete
health, remaining SO to this day. Her weight
was formerly 9S pounds, it is now 1872 pounds
-Four years ago her condition cast gloon
over the family and caused anxiety among
the large circle of friends and neighbors
The mysterious whisper she is going int
consumption, was heard. Armenia, nigh
sweats, pale, sallow complexion, enlarge
ment of the heart, rheumatism, and ever
bloating, began to follow each other in rapi!t
succession as the stages of the disease deyel
cped themselves.

be arranged in this manner there is no
reason why Geographic communication
cannot be made in a similar fashion. In
this case an operator aboard the flag
ship could carry on a conversation with
his felloW-operator aboard one of the
fleet without difficulty. The adnirals
orders could be easily transmitted from
time to time, and often avoid what is
now considered necessary boat service.
1t might be thought that the lying of a
kite under these circumstances would
be a matter of extreme difficulty, but
kite-flying under the latest methods
has become a science. What used to
be school-boy's sport has now become
a subject of study by professional men
and it seems quite likely that before
very long even greater results will be
obtained than has been the case at
Portsmouth.
AS means of signalling, the kite is
firmly believed not only by naval Of
ficers, but those of the army, to be
fraught with great Importance when
the future is considered. 1t is, of
course, very much easier for a signal to
be seen that is elevated to a consider
able height than one which may float
at the top of the mainmast or be waved
from the summit of hill.
Add to these facts this latest de-
Velopment, the kite as a telephone-Wire
carrier, and the indications of a limit
less future are plain. Experiments with
kites at Governors Island in New York
harbor have conclusively proven that it
is possible to send up a camera from
inside the lines of one army-the
camera being attached to a lite-and
take an accurate photograph of the in
trenchments or position of the enemy
thereby, and to learn in fairly accurate
fashion their number. On several &C.
! casions this year in New York photo
| graphs have been taken of parades in
| this fashion, and with the very best
possible results. To suggest that this
could be done fifteen months ago would
| have provoked derision. There is just
as much reason for not regarding the
| telephone kite-hying experiment with
credulity as there would have been for
| decrying the other The results of the
| English experiment, even though they
| have just become known, have already
created no little talk in United States
naval circles.-Washingt Post.

From the Commercial Bangor, Ne.
Mr.. Angus Grant is young man very
well known in Vanceboro Maine. At one
time he lived in Michigan, where he followed
the vocation of q lumberman, and while so
engaged, in lifting q heavy log he strained
the small of his back so badly that he could
work no more. While laid up with this
painful injury, Mr.. Grant caught cold,
which settled in his kidneys.
The services of prominent physician
were obtained, who said it was kidney dis.
ease but that it would soon be cured, and
believing in the doctors skill, placed him
self under treatment. Mr.. Grant says:
Instead of improving daily grew
worse, my flesh left me, and | was so weak
and suffered such pain on attempting to
walk that absolutely could not move. Ny
urine became loaded and bloody, and ! was
obliged to take to my bed. Things looked
dark for me, indeed. Hundreds of miles
from home, money melting away while
there was every prospect of my becoming a
confirmed invalid.
"While lying in bed one day meditating
on my hard fate, an acquaintance dropped
in out of sympathy to poor stranger, and
asked if nothing could be done to better my
condition. l told him that I had done
everything in my power, that hope had
deserted me, and l expected to die.
"This friend then asked me if had ever
used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, for if not, he would strongly advise
me to try them before giving up. | said
no longer had faith in anything though
had not tried DIR. Williams Pink Pills fol

Mr.. Hiram Spaulding, who was for many
years the proprietor Of the Massapong House,
Boston summer resort, is undoubtedly as
well known as any man in Middiesex County.
Mr.. Spaulding, besides having been popu-
lar hotel man, boasts of being lineal de-
scendant of John Spaulding, a well known
soldier who was killed in action with the
Indians while serving in the command of
the famous Captain John Tying in 1904. He

Spaulding is perhaps the best known citizen
in town, and respected everywhere for his
uprightness and sterling character.
Mrs. Nellie A. Spaulding is the wife OF
this gentleman, and almost as well known
as her popular husband. A recent severe
illness from overwork and malaria caused
grave fears among her numerous acquaint-
erless to aid her. Chills and fever, impaired
action of heart and liver and general wretch
edness were her portion, until her attention
was called to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and she began to use them. On
Labor Day, Monday, Sept. z, 1896, Mrs.
Spaulding finished the first box of these
pills, and she informed the Meas reporter
that on that day she performed one OF the
hardest days work ever accomplished by
her. She is still taking Dr. Williams Pink
Pills according to directions, and all traces
of malarial poison seem to have vanished.
"No one was more astonished at my re-
covery than my husband and my neighbors,
and they are not surprised" said she, "to
find in me such champion for what is
destined 10 become a household medicine,
