ESPIONAGE IN TURKEY.

Cons,antrcple Correspondence Chicago Record
An example Of the extent TO which espionage
is carried in this codntrv was furnished by an
incident which happened TO the grand yzler the
other day Even the highest peisonages in Tur-
key are not exempt from suspicion. Their
movements are watched and reported TO the
palace by am amy Of spies, WHO swarm in every
quarter The grand vzier last week was driy'
ing through the main street Of iera when a
carriage came out from cross street and nearly
Colided with him. Both carriages drew up TO
a,oid collision, and during the stoppage the
grand yizier recognized the occupant OF the otner
carriage as Rechad Efendi, the sultan's brother,
who most likely will succeed to the throne, The
grand vizier very naturally saued him and his
salute was returned ard both went on their way
shortly afterward the vizer was summoned 10
the palace, where IL had been reported that he
had had meeting with the heir to the throne.
It took the whole Of one day to satisfy the sultan
that the meeting had been accidental and not
premedated, and that no plot was being hstchcd
against his majesty.

HAVE FOUND WATER.
The Reynshanhurst Company Will
Have an Abundance.

After drilling down about 200 feet the
Reynshanhurst Water company has
struck a large flow of water at their
new arteslan we'll, enough. it is esti-
mated. to supply its consumers. But
to make sure of an unlimited supply
the drill will be sent boring its way
down to about double the present
depth. The water is of the first quail
ity pure spring and of delicious cool
ness, even in the hot days.
This is the second well that the COM
pany has dug. The first filed with
fluid all right. but It was not the kind
that could be used for drinking pur-
poses, so it was abandoned. Now every
requirement in that line will be full
filled. The water will be pumped from
the well to the reservoir just above
Reynshanhurst.

CARBONDALE
DEPARTMENT

poor doubler makes in our mill about
s12, and the better hands make from
81? to $40 per month. The weekly pay
for such work in other mills is about
$40 per month.
"Spinners--Our day spinners earn
from si2 to SIS per month, If run full
time. Hands doing the same class of
work in other mills earn from $S to
$40 per month.
Might spinners earn in our mill
from s16 to SIS per month. In other
mills they work for about $40 per
month.
'The last process Is reeling. A reel
er earns in our mill from SIC 10 SIS
per month. For the same work in 9TH
er mills they pay about $40 per month
From above earnings, which I can
prove are correct, the public can see
that there is no reason for complaint
Everyone has the same chance to make
as much as his or her diligence and
ability permit them to make.
"Now we will take up the demands
of the strike as sustained by the gen.
tlcmen representing the miners unions,
at the rate they stated in the pub
lie print. We would have to employ:
Is per cent. of the help at s26. 81, $50
% per cent. of the holp at s2O... 400
) per cent. of the help at sl4... 20
This will make for each 100 hands
per month, $2,42o, against the average
earnings of 100 hands doing the same
work in other mills for S1,050.
1T ought not to take long for a man
with any common sense to see that the
strike Is not justified and that the de-
mands urged are absurd. Excepting
few hands troublesome in nature,
and too lazy to work, none desired to
be idle. over $50 contented people have
been working in our mill ever since
the boys struck, and we could have
had double the number il business had
been better.
Il have explained the position of the
company thus at length, deeming it
only fair to the public to do so. 1t
is for the latter to decide, whether or
not we shall close our mill. We can
not increase the wages of our en-
ployes. The present conditions Of
trade will not warrant any increase.
The strike. II continued, will hurt the
strikers more than it will hurt us. and
we purpose now. and always to man
age our own business ourselves, with
out any interference on the part of
outsiders, who either cannot, or will
not il they can, Judge intelligently as
to the truth of our representations.
Without our mill and the Hendrick
works what source of support would
many people in Carbondale have had
last fall? Marcus Freder.
Manager Klots Throwing Co."
1t is stated by the strikers that there
will not be enough hands reporting
for work at the mill this morning to
enable it to run. They claim to have
made enough converts to their cause
among the boys and girls working
there to shut the mill down. Whether
their claim will be proven true or not
remains to be seen. At any rate, the
| concensus of public opinion seems 10
be that the strike has been prolonged
to an unreasonable length.

novel. An energetic committee has
charge OF the details and will no
doubt, leave nothing undone which

The Christmas Collection.

The Christmas collections at the
Church of st. Rose de Lima netted the
sum of a little over $1,000. This is
about 5000 less than was donated in
1899, but is a good showing when it is
considered that the city and its inhabl-
tants have not yet recovered from the
miners strike and that normal condi-
tions of work and wages are as yet far
behind what they were a year ago.

BILE of the field. He was far too know
| ing to trust himself again on the wing,
| and the hawk had 10 alternative but
to take him IN the ground. which he
| speedily attempted to do.
But ON the ground The partridge was
far more agile than lie, running this
way and that with great speed. The
hawk would jump awkwardly up and
dart after the scudding partridge, who,
just at the right moment, jumped from
the ground and over his neck, descend
ed OH the other side. and commenced
running harder than before.
Time after time this was done. AT
every attempt the partridge met the
hawk with outstretched neck and
raised hackles. in the attitude of q
fighting bantam cock. jumping up to
avoid being clutched whenever the
hawk struck at him; in fact, Ills whole
action was that of a plucky little game
bantam.
This went on for some time. until, al
l regret TO say, 1 ended the unequal
strife by putting the partridge once
more fairly on the wing, when Of
course the hawk readily overlook and
captured 1t, not overmuch to his credit
and still less to mine.

quantities, had been struck AT the
Metz well on Yellow creek, 6 miles
from this place.
The longer the reports came the

whispered from man to man that we
had all oil field right at our door
that would equal, ifnot outd do, the
Sand Fork field.
None Of the person. with whom
we talked had seen the well since the
strike VAS reported to have occurred +,

operators that justified the belief that
