Horrible Atrocities.

Vienna, Dec. "A Bulgarian paper
today prints story of futher atrocities
inflicted on Macedonian Christians by
the Turks. The Turks, among other
things, place red hot iron caps on the
heads of the Christians; pour burning
petroleum over their feet, and, in some
cases, bind sixty or seventy prisoners to-
gether and leave them in this helpless
state to starve to death. A priest named
Stefano was forced to drink filth from a
chalice. Sisters Zauka, Savela, and
Magda expired as the result of unmen-
tionable tortures. Elder Nicholai after
being forced to witness the torture of
both his daughters, young woman, was
himself roasted to death. A priest named
Christie was compelled to oversee the
murder of infants. He went mad as
result of his awful experience. The In
habitants of Kardshago, Loyadash, and
Klessida fled to the hills to avoid the
Turks and are now dying there OF cold
and hunger.

HOLDS WOMEN RESPONSIBLE. - A
prominent Boston layman of the Episco-
pal Church hasl just written to Bishop
Lawrence that churches and parishes are
raising money by gambling, blackmail-
ing. and unbusinesslike methods" as
the letter expressed it, for which he held
the women parishioners responsible. He
told of his wife swimming a S25 lamp
in n rattle at fair on an investment OF
80 cents; how also she called on firms
with whom we deal, and obtained goods
for the fair by 'blackmail, as one OF
them expressed it, or by a species OF
compulsion, as another women put 1t. "
Bishop Lawrence replies to this arralgn-
ment that if the ladies are driven to
such ''extreme methods of raising money
it is due largely to the fact that the men
of the parish do not do their full duty in
giving for church work" lie adds
that ''no man has right to complain OF
doubtful financial management on the
part of the ladies until he himself has
given one 1.-THE of his income to the
churches.

ACCORDING to a Geographic dispatch

met with another rebuff. He was nom
suited in Richmond on Saturday by
Chief Justice Fuller and Judge Waddill,
who refused to take action in reference
to the new Virginia constitution, and
elections committee No. of the House of
Representatives this morning inflicted
the coup de grace by unanimously agree
ing not to entertain his suggestion OF
investigating Mr.. Carter GLASS; title to
a seat in the House from the Lynchburg

along without him. Under present condi-
tons he would prove more of clog to
her development than in readjuster

be serious and based on hygenic lines,

tirate the death of Mrs. Elnora Mitchell,

board of physicians determined that the
Young woman had been assaulted prior to
her death. The body of the woman was
found back of Berkeley avenue, Norfolk,
and when the coroner inspected the re-
mains they were found in a condition
which indicated that the woman had
been dead for some time. Mrs. Mitchell
had been missing for two weeks past,
and no trace of her could be found until
her body was discovered in the little
stream. There was CHASTITY wound in
her head, which showed that she had
been murdered. Williams will be tried
lust as soon as the coroner's jury renders
its verdict. Mrs. Mitchell was about
nineteen years old. Three years ago she
was married to Mitchell, but the pair
separated year ago. Williams, who is
alleged to have been the cause of the es-
arrangement, had since been paying the
woman considerable attention.

MAY CosT HIM A THRoNE.-Asdis-
patch from Vienna says: Some stolen
love letters may cost Prince Mirko,
second son of the reigning Prince Of
Montenegro, his cherished ambition to
ascend the Servian throne, for which, in
the event of King Alexander having no
heir, he is a strong candidate. Prior to
Prince Mirko's marriage last July with
Natalia Constantinovitch, daughter
of the granduncle of King Alexan-
der, he had a love affair with a
Servian actress and wrote her many
letters containing criticisms on the
policy of several European states.
The Car and German Emperor were
especially hard hit, while the Servian
people were slightly and scornfully res
ferred to. After his marriage Prince
Mirko sent trusted adjutant 10 buy the
letters from the actress. She readily
sold them, but the adjutant, who is a
native of Servia, sold them to the Servian
government for considerable sum after
having had printed copies made. In
the event of the Montenegrin dynasty
making any active move to acquire the
Servian throne it is anticipated that the
publication of the letters would ALLEVIATE
Prince Mirko's Servian friends and ruin
his prospects Of succeeding King Alex
ander.
