The Franco-Turkish situation, which
Tuesdays dispatches indicated TO have
been amicably adjusted, is again in an
acute crisis.
The French ambassador. NJ Constans,
has left Constantinople, and the French
flag is hauled down from the embassy
there while the Turkish minister at Paris,
now on vacation in Switzerland. has
been ordered no: to return to that city
for the present. This means that diplo-
matte relations are sundered and il is
the next step to war, though war is
often avoided after that has happened.
NJ Constans, who as the French minis
ter of the interior. gave Boulangerism its
deathblow and who much resembles the
late JAS G Blaine in personal appearance
has long been at work to force a settle
ment of a nnmoe of long-standing claims
against Turkey which have no cOnnec,
tion with each other. The Sultan
promised Aug II TO pay them, amount
ing to 100000 francs, but at the end
of last week he declined to pay the
amount and offered a reduced sum which
WAS refused by NJ Constans. who waited
until Wednesday and then departed.
A court chamberlain arrived at Stam-
boul in post haste from the Sultan. beg

The turkish story Is that after the
settlement had been agreed upon France
in addition expected the settlement OF
two other claims included in the de-
mands made Aug II, aud that unless
they were settled before noon today
NJ Constans would leave.

twenty-four hours delay, and made al

POLITICAL.

CURED the day that Robert M. La Fol-
lette was inaugurated governor of the
state Of Wisconsin," says the Milwau-
kee Sentinel (rep.). cit was publicly
recognized last Saturday, when the SEN
ate passed resolution of censure upon
Governor La Follette's veto message of
the Hagemeister bill Republicans and
democrats alike recognize that repub-
lican factional fight is now in progress
from one end of the state to the other"
"Were the president so disposed, he
could, under his extraordinary powers,
reduce the present tariff on Cuban su-
gar to figure low enough to give Cuba
the market she needs, suggests the Bal
timore American (rep.). "This would
be humane act, without serious conse-
quences to our interests; it would make
the Cubans our friends, go far toward
settling the problem of government, and
be generally beneficial. The president
should take the action indicated with as
little delay as possible"
"What some Of the democratic lead
ers'-not all Of them, but the lewd fell
lows of the baser sort-what these in
their hearts want, is that the president
should appoint to Office in the south a
host of negroes, and the more offensive
the negroes, the more cordially
would their appointment be hailed"
says the Charlotte IN. o. Observer
(dem.) "This would give excuse
for continuation Of the cry of negro
domination and white supremacy, de-
prived of which these pothouse politi-
clans will soon find their occupation
gone"
"President Mckinley has clearly
ceased to be protectionist, according
to the creed of the Boston Home Market
club, which denounced with indigna-
ton the treaty of reciprocity with
France in letter to the president" the
Portland Oregonian (rep.) says. "The
presidents plan favors the adoption of
reciprocity under the name of extend
ing the protective system. He sees that
the building up of our foreign trade in
manufactured goods is the duty of the
hour. The president, always all oppor-
tunist, is sailing with the wind"
CAT present the old-line southern
democrat is face to face with the dis
agreeable fact that his party has aban-
doned some of it's most cherished prin-
ciples, and that the republican party
has greedily appropriated the same,"
explains the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
(dem.). "He is also aware that the re-
publican party of today is as friendly
toward his section as is the dominant
element of the democracy, which,
strange to say, is still found in the

THE MAD MULLAH.
Who Requires Frequent
Drubbings.

According to the dispatches, Mr..
Mullah has suffered another whip
ping. Mr.. Mullah-whose first name
is Madison, corrupted to Maids. a
gentleman of great persistence. He
doesn't like the English people, and
has no scruples about saying so.
Every little while he goes over where
they are and dares them to come out
in the alley, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Mr.. Mullah is dark man with q
hot temper, but he hasn't any sci-
ence. He's good for couple of
rounds, and then he's no longer in
it. And SO, when he sees he's getting
licked, he gets over the fence and
runs like a deer. He believes with
the poet, whose name has escaped
us, that he who gets in lick or two
and then runs away may live to get
in another lick or two smother day.
Yes, and like the cat in the adage, he
invariably comes back-and has to be
licked all over again.
This might seem wearing on some
men, but Mr.. Mullah appears to
thrive on it. Inside of two weeks
after every licking you can see him
sneaking along the side fence toward
j. Bulls summer home in North
Africa, with brick in one hand and
knotted club in the other.
And yet there are worse men than
Madison Mullah-although we don't
seem to recollect their names just ct
present.

Loud relephone. for ships.

One of the most important instru-
ments ON modern vessels is the So
called loud-talking telephone. Ex-
periments have recently been made
with it in the German navy, and
have proved SO satisfactory that in
struments are now being shipped on
most of the large seagoing ships.
The special value of this telephone
lies in the fact that a captain stand
ing on the bridge can easily hear any
words that may be spoken to him
from the interior of the vessel, even
though a violent storm may be rag
ing at the time, and can in turn
transmit without straining his voice
his own orders to officers or men in
any part of the vessel. Bad acci-
dents have occurred through a mis-
understanding of orders given at a
critical moment, due to the fact that
words were not distinctly heard, and
it is only reasonable to assume that
casualties of this kind can be avoided
in the future through the use of this
loud-talking telephone.-Electricity.

Apple Chutney.

Pare and core five pounds tart cook
ing apples. Put them in porcelain
kettle with two pounds brown sugar
and two quarts vinegar. Cook gently
until thick and smooth. Take up. put
in porcelain dish, and add two
pounds of finely-chopped sultana
raisins, a minced head of garlic, two
ounces cash of ground mustard seed
and ginger root, four ounces of salt
and three pods of chopped red pepper.
Mix well together and let stand eight
hours. Stir until perfectly blended.
put in small jars and seal securely.
Keep in a cool, dry place. This will
keep for years and is delicious for u.s.
ing with cold meats, or as filing for
sandwiches. - Ladies' World, New

A DUMMY CAMERA.
Clever Device by Means of Which
New jersey Man Gets Kid
of Tramps.

A gentleman who lately visited a
friend who has a country seat in Bur-
lington county relates the following
experience, reports the Newark (N.
j. News.
II was very much interested in
camera, which stood on the lawn near
the house, and which had command
ing view Of the gates to the grounds.
I asked my friend why he kept it
there, and, turning TO me with smile,
he said: Don't give it away, but that
is only a fake camera. Come along
and I'll show YOU went and found
that which l took to be camera was
nothing but cigar box mounted upon
a tripod, and having an old silk spool
fastened in front as lens, the whole
being covered with the usual dark
cloth. TO my question of what it was
for, he said: 1t is the most effective
means that I have yet devised for keep
ing off tramps. If there is anything
next to soap and water that tramp
dislikes it is to have his picture taken.
particularly when he knows it might
be means of leading to his identifi-
cation. l tried dogs, but found they
were no good. I used threats, but only
to be blackguarded; and, as last re
sort, I rugged up the camera, and it
has proved wonderful success. Last
week a hobo came wandering along
the road and gave me the first oppor-
tunity of trying the trick. He made
straight for the gate, and was coming
up the walk, when leveled the camera
at him. The effect was magical. He
took to his heels as fast as he could go,
and l made believe to pull out plate.
Since then have used it several times
with similar results. In fact, some of
my neighbors have adopted the plan,
and speak very encouragingly of it,
eve then sat upon the porch, and not
long afterward my friend observed
two seedy-looking specimens of the
genus hobo, coming up the road and
said to me: Now watch Sure enough,
the men came to the gate and were
about lifting the latch, when my friend
took his position behind the camera.
threw the cover over his head, and
tried to get focus on them. With
look of disgust the tramps walked
away, talking together. What they
said, of course, couldn't hear, but 1
guess the language was not compli-
mentary to my host"

LOOK TO YOUR CLOTHES.
TAey should He Porous and the
Lighter the Better for Your
Health.

You might think on bleak days
that the lack of sufficient clothing
would be serious matter. And yet,
If the doctors are to be believed, the
wearing of clothes is more danger
Gus to human life than their utter
absence would be.
A coterie of British doctors have
recently announced that the wearing
of clothes is one of the chief causes
of disease, says the New York World.
The breathing of the human body.
they point out, is conducted not only
by the lungs, but through every pore
of the skin. A proof of this is that
if you varnish a man he soon dies,
as the pores of his skin are closed
to respiration.
Clothes have the same effect in .
lesser degree. The only clothes we
ought to wear, these doctors declare,
should be of porous character; and
the lighter they are the better for
the general health. Non-porous
clothing is disastrous. The worst
offenders in this direction are cotton
and linen. The cotton shirt il
peculiarly repulsive murderer. We
cherish it, we wash and mend it, and
wear it next to our hearts, and how
does it repay us? By acting as sort
of cold storage depot for the per-
spiration of our bodies, which wooden
shirts absorb and annihilate, and by
pressing it's clammy surface against
or<C OF n
cold up to and including pneumonia.
Waistcoats attempt murder in .
mean and treacherous manner. In
front of you they are all that could
be desired, but behind your back
they are different, and are a perma-
nent menace to life and health.
While the chest is covered by wooden
material, the back is left to the ten
der mercies of much thinner sub
stances, alpaca, silk, satin and such
like.
As the lungs are exposed more d.
rectly at the back than in front, this
treatment on the part of the waist
coat is directly murderous. Every
waistcoat should be the same behind
your back as in front of you, and
only those that are should be worn.
Shoes, the doctors say, are also a
great agency for cold. They prevent
the necessary respiration for the
foot. Colds are almost unknown
among street urchins who go about
without socks or shoes.
Socks go in for poisoning in quiet
sort of way. A man recently went
to doctor complaining of intense
irritation of his foot. The doctor
OWNED the symptoms of scarlet
fever from the very red rash dis
closed there, but further examination
put this idea out of court, and it was
found that he was suffering from
blood poisoning caused by the color
ing matter given forth from cheap
socks.
Carriers are entirely vicious, and
have a preference in the disease line
for varicose veins. By violently
squeezing the veins above the knee
they prevent the free upward flow of
the blood from the feet to the heart,
causing it to CONCEAL in the limbs,
with often fatal results. Constant
wearing of garters must sooner or
later bring this about, and stockinged
folks would do well to favor the sus-
pender instead of the homicidal gar.
