AID THE BRIGANDS.
Turkish Troops Furnish Miss
Stones kidnapers Food.

New York, Oct 23.-The Betscherna
Poschta, a Macedonian newspaper pub
hshed at Sofia, Bulgaria, declares that
the Turkish troops following the bri-
gands holding Miss Ellen M. Stone, the
American missionary and her helper,
Nine. Tsilka, for ransom, have no in
tention of trying to capture the ruftlans,
says the Vienna correspondent of the
World On the contrary the soldiers and
Turkish officials provide the brigands
with food it is asserted The newspa-
per says that the brigandS are being pro-
tected under orders from the hlgneSt
Turkish authorities for the reason that
the sultan is keen for revenge against
the United States for the pressure
brought to bear by America with refer
ence to indemnities for the Armenian
massacres by the Turks
AS these declarations emanate from
the organ of a revolutionary party that
is making war on Turkey, and are not
accompanied by any proofs, they are not
accepted as wholly without prejudice
The Poschta says that the Bulgarian
government is doing everything in It's
power to assist the American repreSen-
tativeS and has instituted a strict in
curry to discover the identity OF those
who made the capture of Miss Stone,
and to learn if the kidnapping had anoth-
er and more important object than that
of ransom
The impression is created that Miss
Stone will certainly be released, and at
an early date.

COFFEE DID 1T.
Would Have Been Fatal If Kept Up.

ACoffee!! Oh how I did want it after
the nervous strain of public work
Something warm to brace me up was all
the breakfast I craved, but every time
I drank it, 1 suffered the dying sensa-
ton that follows it with heart futter-
ing and throbbing of the throat and
ears.
1 had no strength to throw away in
that way, so decided that hot water
must do for me.
one morning I came to breakfast in
the home of some friends in Pueblo,
Colo. Just in time to see the Mother
pouring some rich deep yellow coffee
into mugs for the two little boys. One
little chap had thrust his fingers in the
mug and was licking them with such
approving smacks. This opened the way
for me to say, Are you not afraid of the
effects of coffee the little folks?' The
mother explained that it was Postum
Food Coffee made at Battle Greek, Michi-
gan. and remarked, We think there is
nothing like it, Then she explained how
the new coffee had weaned them away
from the use of the old-fashioned coffee
and tea because it is so wholesome
drank it there for the first time, and
was delighted, not only with the deic-
ious flavor. but the after satisfaction ii
gives. One day I was speaking with our
family physicians wife about Postum
when her daughter remarked, 'Ye s,
Mamma we are out of Postum, and ]
have used coffee for the last two morn
ings and it always brings the tired feel
ing and troubles my stomach and
bowels, but Postum makes me feel all
right
In one home they served Postum in
such a way that it was tasteless. / have
found that Postum boiled sometimes
five minutes, and sometimes ten, Is
nothing more than spoiled water, but
when it is made with two heaping tea
spoonsful for each cup, and boiled hf-
| teen or twenty minutes it becomes

| ment has no equal" n. M. Yates

TECHNICAL TRAINING.
Member of Parliament Urges It on
British Workmen.


New York, Oct. 23.-The LONDON
Times publishes the following, which
has been cabled to the New York
Times:
Richard B. Haldane, NJ. p. Q.iberaD,
in a speech on education at Liverpool
last evening, said the lack of educa-
tional spirit in the middle classes, com
planned of by Matthew Arnold quarter
of a century ago, would still exist but
for the fact that those classes had
suddenly found their position threat
ened by new commercial combinations
They had been forced to realize that
courage, energy and enterprise, in these
modern DAYS, were of little more avail
against the weapons science could put
in the hands of their commercial rivals
than was the splendid fighting of the
dervishes against shrapnel and Maxims
at Omdurman-
It was not wonderful, said Mr.. Hal
dane, that England had been beaten in
the manufacture of iron and steel by
the United States, but it was startling
that she had also been beaten by Ger
many. Clearly England was under the
necessity, in these early days OF the
twentieth century of making resolute
effort if she was to hold her own. She
might not be able to continue to sur
pass the United States. Nature had
handicapped her in that race. But
Great Britain must maintain the in
crease in the volume of her trade.
Mr. Ha1dane went on the show how
scientific training had improved the
brewing trade in Germany, which
country had applied science to the prac
teal workings of the industrial world.
The manufacture of aniline dyes from
coal tar, discovered in England, had
lately shifted wholly to Germany
The speaker argued in favor of teen
meal training to help solve the prob
lem.

The two ministers under consideration

wood. Michigan, and DR.. w. K. Berry of
Fort Madison, Iowa Both have been
heard by the congregation and there is
some division of sentiment regarding
them 1t is understood that DR.. Berry

salary that has been paid. Dean Sykes
received $1,000 a year and the deanery.
The active membership roll of the

during the past two years or so and it
is now thought to be doubtful if the
salary paid the former dean could be
easily raised and for that reason the
pulpit may be vacant for some time to
