MISS STONE
TELLS HER STORY

Was a Blessing
BRICANDS WERE NOT FIERCE
Said Many Insulting Things TO She
CaptiVCS But Never Struck Nor
Beat Them

New York April 11.--Akss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the missionary. who was cap
tured by brigands in Bulgaria. and
who was released upon payment of
$4,000 ransom. aEslved here yester-
day on the Deutschland She looked
pale and worn, and said the sea voy-
age had made her very III. She was
met at the steamers pi0r by her
brother. Charles A. Stone, and by
many other relatives and friends. Miss
Stone said the brigands were not so
fierce as might have been imagined
They said many insulting things, but
never struck or beat either her or
her companion, Nine Tsilka.
There have been several reports
printed which stated that Nine. Tsilka
had been held for ransom by our cap
tors" said Miss Stone, "but that IS
mistake. / vas the ono they wanted.
and they always take a married lady
to chaperone a single one, no matter
how old the latter may be. The bri-
gands meant TO take the first mar
ried woman they came across, TO ac-
company me, but the one they first
found happened to be Mrs. Wosheva,
native missionary and a widow. who
was very i'll at the time Nine Tsilka
was therefore decided on by the bri-
gands. for which I was very thankful
afterward, and will tell you why.
Seven weeks before we We're re-
leased a baby was born to Nine Tsil-
ka The brigands had. by this time,
become so insulting and cruel in their
remarks that it was becoming un-
bearable. The appearance of the baby
stopped all this, for the reason that
the brigands of Turkey believe that a
curse will settle on them If they do
harm TO child or it's mother. Our
treatment after the birth of the baby
was excellent. We began to get better
food. although I must admit that it
was generally very good. and the
sneering remarks stopped.
1T was when the negotiations for
our release fell through or became dis
turbed that we were subjected TO our
worst treatment. You are to die 20
days from now, or We will put bull
let in your brain soon, were some Of
the pleasant things they said to u.s."
Miss Stone said she would go at

mother. who is more than 90 years old.

MEAT DEALERS
MAY ORGANIZE
Increased Price Causes Much
Local Dissatisfaction
ALL RETAILERS COMPLAINING
Beef Trust Is Coming in for General
Abuse by Both Merchants and
Consumers

Although the retail meat dealers IN
Wilmington have no organization, the
pressure brought to bear upon them
by the increase in price of meats of all
kinds has made them desperate, and
there is much talk Of forming some
kind of an organization for protection
against the trust.
At present the dealers in this city are
losing money on their wares, because
of the high prices, and there seems
but little hope of a change. Not only
do they complain of the price, but con-
tend that they are given short weight
and several attempts have been made
to hold public meeting to protest
against the unfair treatment accorded
them by the trust.
In all other parts of the country the
meat dealers are becoming aroused and
the matter already has assumed a po-
iitical aspect.
In Philadelphia the Retail Mer-
chants Alliance has met and passed
the resolutions of protest against the
actions of the trust
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas. The Western houses hold
full sway in the selling Of meats in
Philadelphia, and the tactics they pur-
sue are calculated to force all cOmpeti-
tion out of the field of wholesale sell
ing; and
Whereas. The said houses do raise
the prices of meat disprOportionately
to any actual scarcity, thus making
the retail selling prices so high that
consumers refuse to buy meats; and
Whereas. The said houses do not al
low proper weight for shrinkage of
packed meats in transportation from
the West.
Whereas. They refuse to right said
wrongs; therefore, be it
Resolved That a formal letter set
ting forth these facts and resolutions
be sent to the heads of the Western
houses in Chicago and wherever theil
centres may be, requesting that they
right these wrongs as soon as possible
after their attention is called to then
in order that meat may again be sold
at the proper level of price, so thai
consumers can purchase meat, thereby
increasing the consumption of meats.
