stamped by Its ugliness.

An amusing controversy has sprung
up in Paris over the gender of the
automobile" which the French acad-
envy has solemnly declared to be mas
culine. One disputatious writer would
like to know how automobile" can be
masculine, while ''locomobile" is fem
mime. To this the answer is triumph.
antly given that the automobile is toe
ugly to be feminine. With this gallant
and unanswerable argument all de.
bate ceases.

KNEW THE JUDGES VOICE.
And Refused to Believe the Judge
When He Answered the
Telephone

Justice Jerome, of New York, sat
in his room, adjoining the court of
special sessions, the other afternoon.
Between cigarettes puffs he was par
rylng the question of half dozen
inquisitive reporters, when the tele-
phone bell began ringing vigorously,
reports the Times of that city.
In the absence of his clerk and
secretary the justice thought it not
beneath his dignity to play telephone
boy, and this is the one-sided CONVEX
sation that convulsed the newspaper
men with laughter:
This is Justice Jerome. What do
you want?" A short pause.
No, it is not the clerk; it is the
justice himself. What do you want
Spit it OUT
"Humph! Not the justice, you say?
Well, l was when I got out of bed
this morning and looked in the glass
[ guess l haven't changed my iden-
tity since then. You want the jus.
tice, you say? Well, you have him
now fire away.
"Oh, you say, you know the justice
well and that this isn't his voice :
Well, who the deuce am I, then:
Some fresh Office boy, Ell? Well, ]
can't waste any more time on YOU
And up went the receiver with bang
Il suppose / ought to have that fell
low, whoever he is, arrested for con
tempt in calling the court liar and
fresh office boy" said the judge,
with mock dignity, as he resumed his
interrupted conversation with the re-

Rural Night relegrams in England

The Brltlsh post Office is about to
try the experiment of giving the rural
districts the benefit of night service
of kilograms, says London CORE
spondent. At present all rural dis
tricts are shut off from Geographic
communication with the outside world
from eight P. IN. till eight a. m next
morning. The experiment, however. is
to be tried in villages where the parish
council asks for it and are willing to
pay guarantee fee against loss. and is
to be weighted with the charge of late
fee for delivery on each message.

A Princes Preference

The many anecdotes told of Prince
Edward of York all point to his I'M
usually keen powers of observation
and his intense wish to appear grown
up and to do as older people do. A
short time ago, when asked what he
would like to do to celebrate his
birthday, the reply came without a
moments hesitation: $50 for drive
in an omnibus with all the other
people"

There are great chicken farms in

but uses much better language than the ma
jority Of his associates. and has more polish
than his friends Devery. Diver and Foley.
1t is not easy matter TO get Martin Engel
to talk much except the subject Of de
Ate" but he becomes enthusiastic when dis
cussng the qualities Of the who run tie
Tammany machine. The talk about Devery and
his insoIence on the bench is, according to En-
gel, a fabrication on the part of slanderers; the
idea that Tammany leader makes money out
Of his position is preposterous. and deal" or
'rakeof" is thing never thought OF by Tam
many leaders. In the same manner he has met
the charges against himself to using his
pull" with the police TO protect the dsorderly
resorts in the With District But it is well
known that a hint from Engel brought about a
change which stern measures on the part OF
others in authority could not effect. Martin
Engel is one Of the Tammany leaders as TO
whose loyalty TO the interests of Croker that
ruler need have no fears. His work for the
people OF his district, his manipulation or the
police his entertainment Of the young, ana ms
aid TO the poor of his district have only the ad-
yancement Of the interests of Tammany IN
view, and Engel is one Of those who fancy that
they are working in a good cause. He is the
servant Of Tim" Sullivan. in whose interest he
has encouraged colonization, intimidation and
fraud and while Sullivan stands at the head
OF the gang because of his intimacy with male
factors of the highest grade. Engel deserves
recognition in Tammany circles as the protector
Of the Red Light District and Its cadets

times, and pinochle and klabrias tournaments
took place in off seasons. Martin Engels club
has continued to be a f4Yorite congresating
place, and has furnished the caricatulists and
humorists much material. The leader is there
every day when he is not out of the city, and
In the days when there was no doubt as to En-
gers supremacy, the man who wished to open a
coffee house, saloon or a resort" of any kind
went TO the club to make arrangements with
Engel for protection
In his early days in politics Engel had to
light his way. and a broken nose was the result
Of one OF his encounters The fight took place
At Hester and Chrystie sts and has an irnpor-
tant place in the political history of De Ate
When Engel received bill from his physician
for attending TO the broken nose the leader
refused to honor it, and il was some time before
he finally paid the bill He offered excuse
Tor non-payment sooner the fact that his
had remained fat after the operation and by
this change in his facial makeup his Jewish face
had been spoiled, and this would work to his
6etriment among the voters Of the With Dis
trict- But il seems that there Were other ele-
ments at work against him, and. despite his
great pull the Republican leader. Charles
Adler, succeeded in beating him six times. He
was denounced in an open letter by a saloon
keeper named Pferer as the protector of the
6isorderly element and the associate Of the
lowest men in the district and it was the iniu-
ence of outbreaks of that kind that went far
toward weakening his power in the Red Light
District" Even now, despite the fact that he
has shown himself apt pupil in the school
founded by Tweed and now carried on by Croker
there are rC1nors - the effect that he has been
threatened with decapitation by Tim" Sullivan
unless he can assure the leader that he can beat
Charley Adler
With this threat hanging over him. it NAV be
expected that Martin Engel will do his best or
worst, in the interest of the leader for whom
he has the highest regard. Engel is ffty-four
years old. He has ties that keep him from
his political work, and the time which other men
spend in the family circle this well fed, dia-
mond bedecked bachelor butcher devotes to the
game of politics. He has had little education

Sake Of Humanity.
New York, Nov. 15.-Petks Karavel-
off, the prime minister of Bulgaria, has
Just been interviewed by the Sofia cor
respondent of The Journal and Ad-
vertiser. Said the prime minister:
For humanitarian reasons, the min
lister of the interior has undertaken
to tolerate fresh intercourse between
the brigands and an American agent.
1t is a bad precedent to recognize the
brigands, however Indirectly, but Bull
garia will stretch a point for America
and the cause Of humanity.
There is no ~brigandage in Bulgaria.
Turkey is the cause Of brigandage, pill
lage, murder and massacre in Mace
donna. Conditions there are intolera-
BILE. Europe has been moving in a
vicious. circle regarding Macedonia
since the Berlin treaty; all the powers
agree hat Macedonia should have au-
tonomy, but none is willing to- move in
the matter. Count Andrassy of Aus
tria was more to blame than Lord
Beaconsfield at the Berlin conference
for the present condition of Macedonia,
which is crying to heaven for ven
geance.
France patches up her quarrel with
Turkey, oblivious Of liberty, equality
and fraternity for Macedonia; Ger
many is satisfied with getting all ma
terial advantages possible out of Tur.
key.
IF the American people knew the
kind OF hellishs b~arbarities perpetrated
by Turkey in Macedonia, the voice OF
the nation which freed Cuba and
fought the most chivalrous and un'
selfish wal of modern times would
awaken the cabinets of Europe to a
sense of their duty regarding Mace
