him he will be obliged to try him for his
recent alleged murders of prisoners. | have
no .lo1bt that the verdict of either military

a verdict was carried out there would be a
horrible howl on the Continent and in Anne

Gregory Tsilka Writes Of Cap
ture Of Mss Stone.
Els WIFE WAS TAKEN WITH HER

Bandits Surrounded Missionary Band
and, After Stabbing n Turk to
Death, Chose Miss Stone and Mrs.
Tsilka as Hostages - Severity of
Bulgarian Government
The Rev. Howard a. NJ. Briggs, pas
tor Of the Waverly Congregational
church in Booraem venue Jersey
City, has received the following letter
from Gregory NJ. Tsilka, a missionary,
giving an account Of the capture of his
wife and Miss Stone by Bulgarian
brigands IN Oct. L:
ION Tuesday Qst) a week ago a
large party of us were travelling from
BonskO to Djumajo. On our way we
found ourselves surrounded by a band
of armed men, about thirty in num-
Der, all armed with the latest rifles,
however. They demanded our surren.
der and then Nude us climb up a thick
forest, stopping here and there to eX-
anime the place. After half an hour
or so more we We're ordered to sit
down. Then they chose Mss Stone,
an American missionary, and my wife,
and, taking two Of u horses, they
vent farther in, while they kept us.
the rest, till the very morning, sc that
We could not 20 and report to the gov
ernmcnt.
Just at the time. before taking the
ladies, we had to witness a most terri
bic thing. They had captured at the
same time, a little before or after-we
don't know-a Turk, and, while they
tied his hands back, they were beating
him with the backs Of their rifles, and
finally. taking his own knife, they
stabbed him seven times, and he fell
dead.
For a long time we had to wait and
hear nothing. Oh, the agony and the
~sleeplcss nights that we have spent
waiting and watching and no answer.
Finally we got Il letter telling us that
the reason of their capture was to get
money. They demand more than
100000. 1t is Il very large sum. and
it seems impossible to get it.
L am tOilIlttLi tllil our lTlelHlS III

Pray for us. When my wife gets free.
you shall have Il long story of her eX-
periences. God grant her freedom.
Il would lave written sooner. but l
have been in the hands of the govern
ment, being examined and cross eX-
amined almost every day. Many people
have suffered terribly ON this account.
Some have been beaten to death with
the hope that before they died they
would tell where the missionaries are.
The inhabitants all around the place
where they were captured are in prison
or have IL away and deserted their
homes"

DINING-R0OM ORNAMENTS.

Damascus lanterns, decorated with
chains and jewels, represent one of
he latest novelties in hanging orna-
nents.
The morning glory is the design of
one of the prettiest of the new can
1lesticks. The color is blue and part
way down the stem is a blossom
which curves to form the handle.
In art pottery surprising bargains
are to be picked up these days and
for few cents one may secure a
dainty bit of -bric-a-brac, though it
be but three or four inches high.
Every variety of Towering plant ia
miliar in the ordinary household,
from the modest violet to the stately
imperious American Beauty rose, can
now be displayed in a vase especially
designed to emphasize its peculiar
attractiveness and never were flower
holders in cut or Bohemian glass
more beautiful.
A new style of vase has made it's
appearance this autumn. 1t is an ex
tremely tall crystal holder with wavy
lines in the stem suggestive of MORE
silk, and huted top in the shape of
Gala lily blossom. Exceptionally
long stemmed must be the roses or
chrysanthemums that would appear
to advantage in these slender vases,
which look like sentinels as they are
distributed in the shop displays
among the many-hued ordinary-sized
vases.
Those who have tired of the con-
ventional glass and silverWare de-
signed for table use will welcome the
new combination of Bohemian glass
and sterling silver that represents
a fall novelty Cracker jars, olive
dishes and similar pieces are seen.
These autumnal productions are very
appropriate, for the brown, dun green
and yellow shadings are duplicates
of the tints of the leaves at this sea-
son and the glass at first glance
seems more like highly glazed pot
terry than Bohemian ware. The silver
mounting, in dull finish, harmonizes
effectively.

GIANTS IN OUR DAYS.
Great Men of This Age Excel in
Wisdom and Goodness.

inence ia the Remote Past Not

Quirements
Especial washington letter.


CGNTHEN L hear people talk
w about the great men of
the past, and listen to
their quotation of the saying:
There were giants in those days. it
almost makes me lose my temper"
says Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
There never was time when
there were greater giants physically
and mentally than there have been
during the recent years and centur-
les" he continued. 1--WE have the
skull measurements of some of the
greatest men who lived in those good
old days and they are no larger or
better proportional than the skulls
of the men of our generation. The
Pharaohs were great rulers, and the
worthy workers in scientific inves-
tigatiOn have only been able to por-
tray to US a small portion of their
glory. We have invaded the tombs
of the Pharaohs and we know their
physical stature, as also their brain
capacities. They were greater than
the chosen of Israel; greater than
AnClI SLCdlGSU. LEU IlG InGu u To-
day are bigger than some of them,
and have brain capacity better than
most of them"
This was in casual conversation,
but it was so interesting that the SEN
ator was requested to give to the
writer more elaborate expression of
the views which were manifestly the
e g IL i
careful elaboration. The dear old
statesman is one of the most genial
and kindly men in public life, and al
ways not only willing but anxious to
aid the newsgatherers of this capital
city. He said: Il am always willing
to answer the questions of you fell
lows who do so much to injure public
men by your carelessness; but who
do more than all others to help public
men and help the great republic by
endeavOring to do the right thing. L
have been in public life ever since Ne
vada was admitted to the union, in
1863, and am under great obligations
TO the good fellows in the newspaper
profession who have kept me before
VIC DCOp4Cs
This subject of the great men of
recent years and recent centuries, as
compared with the men who attained
prominence in the affairs of the
world in the historic past, and in the
prehistoric past, has occupied my
thoughts often, and / have sometimes
spoken my views publicly. L believe
that the men of the world are pro-
crossing all of the time; and, of
course, do not exclude the women.
''The world is always interested in
its greatest butchers, whom the peo-
pie call soldiers. Rameses, Sennache-
rib Darius, Leonidas, Caesar, Antony,
Pompey, Alexander and all of the
conquerOrs of all the ages, were but
pigmies as compared with Napoleon,
who belonged to the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. The science of
war was born in that man, because
he was an instrument in the hands of
the invisible powers which are devel
oping this world. Waterloo was fore
ordained to be his last battle, be-
cause he had done the work allotted
to him in changing the face of civil
izatiOn. Not one of the giants of
those other days could be compared
