can legation at COnStantlnOple, tne Uii-
gands having already received the
price Of her release. Immediately after
the surrender Of Miss Stone, the Tur-
kish government effected the arrest OF
Rev. Mr.. Tsilka, husband of the wo-
man who shared the captivity of the
American missionary, claiming that ne
was accessory to the kidnapping plot

1T Is now a settled fact that Ben
Daniels, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to be United States
marshal for Arizona, will not be allow
ed to hold his job. Daniels was ap-
pointed because of his meritorious SER
vice in Roosevelt's Rough Rider regi-
ment. Shortly after his appointment
it was charged that he had served a
term in the Wyoming prison many
years ago for larceny. This was after
the senate had already confirmed him.
Upon the publication of this charge
the commission was held up pending
further investigation, the president de-
claring that he could not appoint man
with such a stain on his record. Now
comes Daniels and admits the truth OF
the charge that he served term for
larceny; but claims that there were ex-
tenuating circumstances. In view OF
the presidents previous declaration
Daniels will lose his job.
Richard Harding Davis relates this
incident, which happened while he was
acting as correspondent during the
English-Boer war: A regiment OF
Scotch Highlanders, noted for their
bravery in action, during the heat OF
one battle were suddenly seen to break
ranks and run in all directions. The
officers as we'll shared in the stampede
and apparently made no attempts to
urge the men under them into line
Their behavior was a surprise to ev-
erybody on the field and after the bat
tie was over the colonel of the regi-
ment was summoned before General
Roberts. What the devil was the
matter with your regiment?" asked
"Bobs." WELL" replied the colonel,
there is not a man in the regiment
afraid of a Dutchman's bullet, but we
were steered into field literally infest-
ed with wasps' nests, and you know,
general, we were all in kits and with
bare legs"
THE gossip about Miss Alice Roose-
welt and the coronation Of King Ed
ward calls to mind that President Van
Buren's son attended the coronation OF
Queen Victoria" said Mr.. Frank N.
Lesly, of Saratoga, N. Y, in the Wash
ington Post. II have been particular
ly interested in the talk regarding Miss
Roosevelt's rank. The rumor that she
could go by the title of princess would
be worthy of consideration had her
father named her as envoy from this
country. AS it is, she will have to be
Just a plain American girl. When Van
Buren's son, John Van Buren, attend
ed Victoria's coronation, he was the
special embassy and was given the IT,
tie of Prince John That, of course
was a different situation. incidentally
that title had a great deal to do with
his fathers defeat for another term as
president. The people got the idea into
their heads that he had become a plu-
tocrat and the idea didn't jibe with
their domestic sentiments"
