she would do, and the understanding
was that unless there was a satlstac-
tory settlement within the time pre-
scribed, diplomatic relations would be
severed. There is said to be much ex-
citement among the French people on
the subject.
In a dispatch dated July 8, and de-
failing the condition of affairs at the
front at the time, Lord Kitchener says:
"There are no more than 1880 Beers
now under arms. Although they are
not able longer to undertake extensive
operations their apparently inexhaus-
tible supplies Of food enable them to
maintain an obstinate resistance with
out retaining anything or defending
the smallest portion Of this vast coun-
try. The wearing down process is nec-
essarily slow, rendering the employ
ment of a large number of troops still
necessary. Great patience is still re-
auired to see the inevitable end OF an
insenate resistance which, while 1t can
not affect the result, has become un-
justifiable in prolonging the war and
the sufferings of women and children.
Since this dispatch was written the
losses of the Beers have brought their
forces down to about 11,000.
The Rochester, N. Y, Herald says:
"A circuit court down in Florida has
granted a divorce to Henry M. Flagler
the Standard Oil millionaire, whose
wife Is an inmate Of an insane asylum
The woman has been true wife to
the rich man and shared his lot when
he was not so we'll off as now, but ap-
parently that has no weight in his de-
sire to be free of the incubus of crazy
wife. Most Of the states Of the Union
fail to recognize insanity as a cause
for divorce, and even Florida itself was
attached to that old-fashioned notion
of decency till last winter, when the
legislature enacted law placing luna
cy in the provisional list. There were
those ill-natured enough to say that,
as Mr.. Flagler owned most of the rail-
roads and hotels in Florida, he must
also own the legislature, and that the
law was passed for his especial bene-
fit. The event seems to have justified
these opinions"
Says a Constantinople dispatch OF
August 20: Owing to the arrears in pay
the Turkish army is in a state border
ing on anarchy and a number of V1o-
lent acts on the part Of the soldiers
have been reported. The garrison at
Adrianople threatened to burn the gov
ernor's house and hold him captive un-
less the money matters were settled.
The porte sent a courier to pay the
men and trouble was averted there.
At Bitlis, in Asiatic Turkey, the gar
rison mutinied for the same cause and
threatened to pillage the town. AT
Monastir, in Macedonia, a mutiny was
started and the governor called the no
tables together and suggested that a
subscription be raised for the pay
ment of the troops in order to restrain
them. This was done. At Scio, an is
land belonging to Turkey, off the west
coast Of Asia Minor, the troops have
tied the officers hands and feet and re-
fuse to release them until payment is
made. The sultan is terrified by the
actions of the troops.
Narragansett Pier dispatch Of Au-
gust IS, to the Chicago Record-Herald:
A French bathing suit and shapely
woman brought out the whole police
force this afternoon, and nearly made
necessary the calling out Of the fire de-
partment. There were 1000 people on
the beach when this young thing, SO
arrayed as to suggest Venus rising
from the sea, appeared. She had on
a pair Of full pink tights, dotted all
over with spots of rainbow hues, as
big as half dollars, and the blouse of
skin tint was cut so that it did not
reach more than six inches below the
waist line. A belt completed her cos
tune. After the young woman hat
been in the water the fit of her suit
was likened to that of the skin on a
sausage. The jovial Sunday crowd
soon caught sight of her and the fun
began at once. Men shouted Fire, -
and "Stop thief" as she emerged from
the breakers, and in e. few minutes
there was such a tumult that the sim
gle policeman on the beach hastened
down to see what was the trouble. The
young woman became alarmed and
started on run for the bathing house,
where ohe had left her street clothes,
followed by hundreds of people, all of
them shouting and gibing her. A hurry
call for the police reserves was sent in
to which two men responded. These
being wholly inadequate, the entire
force was called out. BY this time the
woman had found safety in the bath
a few heads before the mob could be
driven back. The woman is a we'll
known New York cloak model and left
on the first train for home.
