For the frst time in history. in re-

and some of the greatest people in the

formed the stan, says the New York

This wonderful little newspaper was
called the Free Bazaar News. and was
published daily at the London Press
Bazaar, held for reimbursing the cof-
fers Of the London hospital. II was
"free," however, only In name, for no
daily newspaper could ever hope 10
touch the prices obtained for it-for
its aristocratic proprietors sold 1t for
80 cents q copy.
The idea OF the paper seemed to
strike half dozen women at once, 90
no one can claim to be its originator,
but the cause of IL was the donation tc
the bazaar committee, by the directors
of linotype company, OF one OF their
machines as On exhibit. 1t seemed a
shame that $4,000 Of useful machinery
should not be tfilized, so the Duchess
Of Sutherland and some Of her clique
planned the little paper which proved
such a success. 1t was really "the'

TO REPEAT SANTIAGO MANEU

France will be the first country to re-
peat in ruval maneuvers some OF the
problems lately solved by the navy Of
the United states. M. Lockroy, the
minister of marine, will go to Brest IN
order to be present at the series Of
important maneuvers carried ON by a
combined naval and land force. The
naval force will include the entire
North feet. The land forces, placed

MASSACRE IN CRETE

The assassination OF an empress
counts for more in certain circles THAN
the massacre of a thousand peasants.
So it happens that the newspapers OF
last month gave great deal more
space to the stabbing of the eccentric
absentee wife of the Austrian emperor,
who roamed about Europe in pursuit of
her own private, unimportant whims,
than to the slaughter OF Christians by
Mohammedans in the island of Crete. II
lha European powers had only support
ed Prince George of Greece when hi
made his raidfor the purpose ofquietin9
Crete and annexing it to Greece, much
subsequent trouble would have been
avoided. For example, there would
have been no Turkish campaign tc
Thessaly. Through all these weary
months The European powers have
tried to maintain a joint naval and
military control of Crete without, how
ever, sending away the Turkish troops
The recent massacre Of Christians
which seems to have been carried on
mainly by the Turkish soldiers them
selves, had its immediate beginning IN
a quarrel with certain Engishmen
and it seems that before the whole az
fair was at an end England lost about
as many subjects by reason of this up
rising in Crete as in the battles OF thi
memorable campaign which has JUS
succeeded in capturing Khartoum. I
Iyord Salisbury had only sided courag
eously with the Greeks at the prope
moment, This retribUtlon would have
been spared. The British admiral ha.
now acted with much energy, and h!
ultimatum has led the sultan to con
sent reluctantly to the disarmament o
the Mohammedans in Crete. Eng,ant
would have the hearty approval OF tn
United States If she should proceed Il

cAsT-oFF BABY CARRIAGES
Some odd Uses 90 which the Dis-
carded PerRmbulators
Are Put.

When the baby grows up or the per-
ambulator becomes too shabby for
further exhibition in public, IL does
not follow, by any means, that the lat
ter's period of usefulness Is ended. In
fact, it has just graduated from one
season of utility into another, as may
be ascertalned OF the secondhand fur
niture dealers or the east side, says
the New York Herald.
These merchants deal heavily In
cast-off baby buggies," as they term
them, and from Offering conveyance
TO infants the vehicles pass on to EN-
ployments at once multif0rious and
curiously Inappropriate. The Italian
itinerant musicians purchase them TO
trundle their small barrel organs
about the city; the Greek flower sellers
stock them with their fragrant wares
and push them in every direction;
washerwomen. too, are good custom
ers and use the versatile Perambula-
tor as a means OF conveying bundles
of linen 10 and from their customers
hcmes.
But the list would not be complete
unless the rowing candy merchants
were included. These venders are Gov
ering long stretches of city territory
every day, wheeling before them sec
ord-hnnd perambulators on which
rest tiny showcases filed with confec
tionery. SO. toe, the "nice-a-banan'
men are, in instances, discarding the
heavy pushcarts for the light and cas-
ily moved baby carriage. which in Tins
bids fair to supplnnt all vehicles Of the
hand power variety now in genera

BERMUDA'S CLOSE CALL

ENCOUNTERED STORMS AND
WARSHIPS ON HER TRIP FROM
JAMAICA.
After having passed through her
worst hurricane the former famous
filibustering British steamship, Ber-
muda, passed up the river to Philadel-
phia Tuesday night from Jamaica with
twelve passengers, among them being
John Hart. who left there some time
ago. The Bermuda had been detained
at Port Antonio since June 10 by the
British authorities for a violation of
the Foreign Enlistment act, but wac
recently released by the British Gov
ernment upon the payment of the fines
against her, which aggregated nearly
$4,000.
Since she left Philadelphia the Ber-
muda has had many narrow escapes
having been chased by Spanish gun
boats and lodged British and American
warchips; but her most formidable foe
was the hurricane which she encoun-
tered on October on her northward
course. For a time it was a question
whether she could weather the storm
and the heavy seas which broke over
her from all quarters.
