Washington, Oct. 8.-Not since the
successful attempt to save the life of
John Hays Hammond, tn engineer
implicated in the Jamison raid, has
the state department put forth such
energetic efforts to save a human life
as it Is now exerting In behalf of Miss
Stone, the American missionary who
was captured by Bulgarian bandits.
A sum of money has been forwarded
to Spencer Eddy, the United States
secretary of legation at Constantine.
pie, who has shown remarkable en-.
ergy and ability in unearthing the
ramifcations of the plot which re-
suited in the kidnapping of Miss
Stone. There is little doubt that the
Turkish government has done all that
it could be expected to do to run down
the bandits and what is now to be
done is to secure similar action on the
part of the Bulgarian government and
to that end influence more potent with
the Slav races than that of the Unit
ed States government are now at
work. Should these measures fail
then the ransom money must be paid
and that is why Mr.. Eddy has been
placed in possession of this powerful
auxiliary. The state department off,
cials deprecate most earnestly news

taking in Miss Stones behalf, claiming
that it is being greatly embarrassed in
its efforts by such publications. Con-
sequently the officials refuse to give
any information concerning the case

that they have not been informed Of

Kidnapping Of Miss Stone Political.
Religious Plot.
Paris, Oct. 8.-A letter received by
the Havas Agency from Salonica, dat
ed Oct. 1, says:
The American consul here Aas just
received orders to make arrangements
with the vail (governor) for the pay
ment of the ransom of Miss Stone.
The United States will advance the
money, afterwards settling with Tur.
key.
The Turkish authorities have made
numerous arrests among the Bulgafi-
an population, without distinction of
religion, and nearly all have been put
to torture in the hope Of extracting in
formation.
A prisoner named Diminity said an
understanding existed between the
Protestants and the Macedonian com.
mittee and that Miss Stone was even
acting in concert with them, with the
view of obtaining funds for political
religious propaganda. 49,
These declarations wrung from d.
minity under torture are valueless.
What is certain Is that the captain of
the band designated for the payment
of the ransom a place in proximity to
the Roumanian frontier, which proves
that he hopes to escape the Turkish
police and that the Bulgarian police
do not cause him anxiety.

Garter superstitions.

A worn garter is regarded by some
people as quite valuable present, for
1t brings to its new wearer luck, or, at
any rate, is supposed to do so.
A bride should always wear a blue
silk garter at her wedding. Her garter
Is often given her by a friend who
has taken away it's newness by wear
ing it few times, says Home Notes.
The wearing of the garter does not end
the ritual concerning it. After the
wedding ceremony 1t is either cut into
pieces or hidden. When it Is hidden,
the bridesmaids hunt for 1t, and the
finder is assured of being happily mar
ried before the year is out. When 1t Is
cut, it is divided among the brides
maids to give to each good luck and a
devoted husband. Sometimes the bride
bestows her garters on the first brides
maid, and in Germany each bridesmaid
receives pair Of blue white silk gar
ters from the bride.

MUCH FUEL BURNS.
A Flve.Acre Coal Yard Badly scorched
->-- at Chicago.

Chicago. Oct. 9.-shortly before
midnight fire started on the docks of
the Peabody Coal company at the foot
of Orleans street. The flames spread
to some freight sheds OF the Chicago
and Northwestern railway and to
buildings occupied by the Globe Light
ing and Heating company and the
Davidson marble works. Twenty fat
cars standing on the tracks nearby
were consumed. The fire then spread
to the Peabody yards until five acres
Of coal were in flames. The loss on
coal is estimated at upwards Of $780,
600. A high wind was blowing and for
q time the flames threatened to leap
the river to the west and attack the
l6-story structure of the John Brooker
Warehouse company. The fire is be-
lieved to have been of incendiary
origin. Two weeks ago an attempt
was made to set fire to the coal sheds,
1t is declared, and officials of this COM
pany assert there was no other way
for the fire to start. At 1 o'clock the
flames were under control.

critical moment has been averted and
that months time offers ample op.
portunity to add to the fund. Mr.,
Charles A. Stone, brother Of the cap
tive missionary, wishes activity for
the fund to continue for few days
longer. He hopes that the cabled
dispatches Indicating that the brig
ands have granted months time are
right, although he has no personal
confirmation of that fact, having re.
peatedly sent messages to both Con.

the idea in the West that he had
stated that no more money was
needed because enough had been
given is wrong. He is still anxious
about getting the total of $4,000.
