MISS ELLEN M. STONE.
Held for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria.
Miss Stone has been % years in Turkey
and Bulgaria as representative of the
American board of foreign missions. Her
home is at Chelsea, Mass, where her
mother lives.
Helen M. Stone of Chelsea, Mass, the
American missionary now held by
Bulgarian brigands.
When shown statement by DR..
Cregan, New York secretary of the
American board, that the ransom
would be a dangerous precedent, the
Rev. DR.. Judson Smith, secretary of
the American board, expressed his
hearty appreciation.
1.-THE board would never consider such
a proposition" he said. THE rescue OF
Miss Stone is in the hands of the govern
ment. We have had missionaries in Turkey
for two generations, but never case like
this Should we offer ransom, mission
aries would never be safe from capture"
Washington, Sept. 3C.-This state
ment was made Saturday touching the
case of Miss Stone, the American mis-
sionary kidnapped by Bulgarian brig
ands: "The department of state will
do everything within it's constitutional
and legal powers to relieve the situa-
ton"
The limitations upon the depart
ment's activities indicated in the above
statement are severe. There is no war
rant of law for the expenditure of a
single cent of money from the United
States treasury for ransom, and the in
ference is that the departments ac-
ton, if, indeed any is taken, will be
along diplomatic lines tending to in
fuence the Bulgarian and Turkish gov
ernments to undertake to release the
captiveS.

At Ruskin hall, Oxford, the newest
of that city's colleges, students re-
ceive frst-class university educa-
ton and live very comfortably at the
rate of 12s Cd $4,000 per head per
week. This, of course, can only be
accomplished by the exercise of the
strictest economy. The reason that
Rusl1in hall is worked SO cheaply is
owing to the fact that each student
staying there has to take his share
in the household duties of the place.
No servants are kept.

At the old-fashioned inns and res
taurants in Sweden it is customary
to charge less for women than for
men, on the theory that they do not
eat so much. This amuses people,
but it is not so absurd as the practice
of charging half-rates for children
in our country. Everybody who has
had anything to do with healthy boys
or girls knows that they usually eat
twice as much as the average grown
person, and yet at many hotels they
are taken at half price.

The graphophone is great source
OF pleasure to Turkish ladies. For
some years it was strictly forbidden;
now nearly every house is provided
with one, and the ladies sit round
and roar with laughter every night at
its productions. Nearly all are Civ
ing Turkish songs and stories which
are rather risque. Often the inmates
of the harenl will get into a boat
with their friends and float slowly
down the Bosphorus, with the graph
ophone shrieking in the middle.

According to Mexican paper, the
scarcity of corn in the Mexican state
Of Yucatan is such that at some
points the prices range from $3.50 to
$1,000 per hectoliter. If the value of
the Mexican dollar be rated at 50
cents, these prices correspond rough
ly to $1.30 and $2.10 per bushel. Such
prices are, however, probably found
only at certain points in the interior

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 2s.-Czolgosz,
President McKinley's murderer, in
the custody of Sheriff Caldwell, of
Erie county, and p deputies, arrived
in Auburn at 1918 a. m. Friday. The
prison is only about so yards from
the depot. Awaiting the arrival of
the train there was a crowd of about
200 people. Either for fear of the
crowd, which was not very demon
strative, or from sight of the prison,
Czolgosz's legs gave out and two
deputy sheriffs were compelled to
practically carry the man into the
prison. Inside the gate his condition
became worse, and he was dragged
up the stairs and into the main hall.
Breaks Down Completely.
He was placed in a sitting posture
on the bench while the handouts
were being removed, but he fell over
and moaned and groaned, evincing
the most abject terror. AS soon as
the handouts were unlocked the man
was dragged into the principal keep
er's office. AS in the case of all pris-
oners the officers Immediately pro-
ceeded to strip him and put on
new suit of cloths. During this
operation Czolgosz cried and yelled,
making the prison corridors echo
with evidence of his terror. The
prison physician, DR.. John Germ, eX-
amined the man and ordered his re-
10 hn ~,
row, which he will occupy until he is
taken to the electric chair. The doc
tor declared that the man was suf-
fering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
extent.
Collapse a Surprise.
The collapse of the murderer was
surprise to every one. En- route
from Buffalo he showed no Indication
of breaking down. He ate heartily
of sandwiches and smoked cigars
when not eating. He talked some and
expressed regret for his crime. He
said: "I am especially sorry for Mrs.
Mckinley" He reiterated his former
statement that he had had no accom-
plices and declared that he never had
| heard of the man under arrest in ST.
Louis who claimed to have tied the
handkerchief over his hand, conceal
ing the pistol with which the presi-
dent was shot. He says the hand
| kerchief was not tied. He went be-
hind the Temple of Music, arranged
| the handkerchief so as to hide the
| weapon and then took his place in
| the crowd To Jailer Mitchell he
sent this message to his father: "Tell
him I'm sorry left such bad name
| for him.
Guard Prisoner Closely.
Czolgosz was in normal condition
Friday afternoon and seemed to have
fully recovered from his collapse.
There are five cells for condemned
men in the prison and Czolgosz was
placed in the only vacant cell, so all
are now occupied.
Two keepers are constantly on
guard in the room, which is separate
from the main prison, but to guard
against an attempt on Czolgosz'
part to commit suicide two more
guards have been added, and one will
constantly sit in front of Czolgosz'
cell and will have key SO that any
attempt at self-destruction may be
easily frustrated.

BRITISH TERMS OF PEACE.

Tue peace terms offered by the
British government to General Botha,
representing the 'Boer government
and rejected by the latter on March
16. have been made public. At the
interview with General Kitchener the
Boer general intimated that II was
doubtful whether his people would
yield, unless their Independence was
acknowledged. General Kitchener de-
clined TO discuss this subject, and
General Botha then inquired as to the
terms the British proposed. He asked
whether Great Britain would take
over the assets OF the Boer govern.
ment and assume its debts; what was
the British program as 10 the impo.
sition OF a war tax on the burghers,
and when the Boer prisoners could
come home. General Kitchener re.
piled that probably" no war tar
would be levied on the farmers. and
that they would be aided In the re.

Botha, as reported. Is silent as to the
imposition Of the war tax. The most
that he promised As to the departed
Boer prisoners was that they would

gradually established. that the debts
of the Boer administration would moi
be assumed. and that consideration
would be given to the establishment
OF the Beers on their farm holdings
Amnesty to colonial rebels would be
refused.
