Balkan state, as independent, at least,
as Bulgaria itself. For this purpose
he proposed to work with Servia as
well as Bulgaria.
From this moment his autocratic
career became seriously hampered. He
incurred the enmity of the Bulgarian
government and in April, 1901, was ar
rested, together with several of his col
leagues, on charge of murder. In due
cours he was tried and acquitted amid
popular rejoicings; but on emerging
from prison he discovered that the
Bulgarian government had made use
of its opportunity to depose him from
the leadership of the Macedonian moves
ment.
The central Macedonian committee
had seeded from the moderate party
~ on his propaganda in Macedonia.
With this organization he is now at
work and all the news received of an
impending rebellion are echoes of his
operations. He is resolved to defeat
the scheme of reforms set on foot by
the powers, and there saevidence to

CHARACTER IN THROAT.
Interesting Deductions Made Recent
Iy by Student of WOmankind
at Its Best.

Some one has lately been making q
study of various threats, and has de-
duced some rather interesting, if some
what obvious results bearing upon the
character of women. The woman with
the swan-ille neck is said to be a crea-
ture whose mentality, to use a rather
modern invention in words, dominates
her existence. Physically delicate, the
long-necked woman is mentally very
much alert, but sensitive to an ex-
traordinary degree. She is timid and
suspicious, yet when her trust is be-
trayed bears her woe in silence with
out sign.
1t is no news to learn that the throat
that denotes obstinacy is short and
thick, and usually belongs to the girl
with athletic shoulders and not very
many inches in stature. Girls with
anatomical traits of this sort are ex-
tremely good natured, though they OBJ
tain their own way by persistence.
This is the type of woman whose
health is excellent, and whose outlook
upon life is eminently sensible. In 90
cases out of 100 she is the ruling spirit
of the home in which she abides, and is
never a lacking quantity when sound
advice and ready help are needed. She
is also noted for her executive ability.
and on this account does not mind
mounting platforms or organizing So
cieties that will help her sex a step
forward on the road to complete eman-
cipation.
All curves and white, satin-like soft
ness is the throat of the born enehan-
tress, upon which the head is set as ex-
quisitely as was that of Helen of Troy
Consciously or unconsciously the CO.
~quette Invariably makes good use of
her beautiful and supple neck. Some
times she will hold it on one side, at
other times her head will droop like a
Hover. Poets and artists speak not
| without reason of the perfect neck of
| such woman with enthusiasm; they
say it resembles a round, white column,
and no other words describe its beauty
more correctly.

LOVES THE PRAIRIES.
MISS Anna Gray Is ID ehghted with Her
western Canada Home.

Anna C. Gray is young lady, for
merly of Michigan She Is now
resident of Western Canada, and the
following published in the Brown
City (Mich.) Banner are extracts
from a friendship letter written
about March Is to one of her lady
friends in that vicinity. In this let
ter is given some idea Of the climate,
social, educational and religious con-
ditions of Alberta, the beautiful land
of sunshine and happy homes. Over
one hundred thousand Americans
have made Western Canada their
home within the past five years, and
in this year upwards of $4,000 will
take up homes there.
Miss Gray took her leave for Dds
bury, Alberta, the home of her sister
and other relatives and friends on
Jan. 10 last, and after two months
sojourn in her western prairie home,
she writes of it as follows: 81 know
l shall grow to love the prairies. We
have a beautiful view of the noun
tains, and it seems wonderful 20 me
to see home after home for miles,
and it is becoming thickly settled all
around us. With the exception of the
last few days, which have been cold
and stormy, we have had beautiful
spring weather ever since 1 came.
The days are beautiful. I call this
the land of the sum- as it seems to
be always shining, the nights are
cold and frosty. On arriving here, I
was so greatly surprised in every
way. Didsbury is quite a business
little town. All the people I meet
are so pleasant and hospitable. They
have four churches in Didsbury-the
Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical
and Mennonite. The Evangelicals
have just completed a handsome
church, very large and finely fur
nished, costing $4,000. They have a
nice literary society here, meets
every two weeks. They have fine mu.
steal talent here.

atrocities which had been committed.
Some of these horrors were indie.
scribable. It had been the custom in
one province to steal young Christian
girls for the harems of Turkish gov
ernors and other officials. AS soon
as female child began to reval
promise of physical charm a small
cross was tattooed between her ewes.
The cross saved these girls from in
ferior harems, but drew upon them
other prosecutions, and many so
marked were among the fugitives.
Many women had had their girls as
mere children captured before their
eyes by soldiers, and if the men in.
terfered they were shot down. One
woman came across the border with
her infant on her back, and when
she lifted it down found it cold in
death from a bullet fired at her as
she was crossing into Bulgaria.
Women and men were crowded into
the same little hospitals when Nine.
Bakhmeteff arrived. Many were w.
ing on the floors, with hardly skins
enough to cover them. She secured
other buildings, had them fitted out
with cots and blankets. and had the
women moved into them. She went
on to Katcharino, Risolelo, Drago-
dan, Pobochova, the monastery of
the Bulgarian monks at Rio and all
the other towns where the fugitiyes
were chartered, and she carried ON
the same work.

HE CARRIED HER BUNDLES,
Simple but Useful Act Of Kindness on
the Part Of Young Swell.
(New York SUM.

| (New York SUM.
! Passengers on an Erie train which
came into Jersey City from the suburbs
| one evening last week, were treated to
| an unusual exhibition of politeness.
| On the train was an aged Italian
| woman. She had two enormous bum
| dies with her, either one of which would
have made a big load for an able bod
| led man. A score of men saw her strug-
| Cling from the train with her bundles,
which were done up in sheets and tied
| with ropes, but not one offered to help
| her in any way.
Finally young man in evening
dress. white gloves and opera hat, evil
IDENTIFY coming in from the suburbs for
| a hight at the theater, came along and
spied the old woman. Without a mo-
| ment's hesitation, he stepped up to her,
removed his hat and said:
Permit me to help you, madam"
The old woman was SO amazed at the
gallantry of the fashionably dressed
young stranger, that she made no reply,
but just gazed at him as though he was
a curiosity. Without further talk, the
young man grabbed one of the bundles
| in his left hand, and with the right as
sisted the woman to carry the othe.
| down to the platform to the ferryhOuse.
When the Chambers street ferryboat
came in, he lugged the bundles into the
wonen's cabin, put them up on seat,
and when the old woman seated herself
beside them, moved over to the other
side of the cabin and began to read Il
paper.
When the boat reached the city. he
grabbed the bundles again and carried
them aboard Fulton street car. The
cid woman said she was going to the
Bridge. but she protested about getting
on The car. No such extravaganza as
that had occurred to her.
But the young man made her enter
the car just the same, and when the car
got to Broadway he got out with her,
and the two walked along Park row to
the Bridge entrance, where the youth
put the woman and the bundles on a
Myrtle avenue car, paid the conductor
the fare. bowed politely and left.

unconscious of the attention he was at
tracing.
All the embarrassment in the case
was suffered by the old woman, who at
first thought that she was being made
ridiculous. The polite attention and
entirely respectful attitude of the
youth, however, soon convinced her
that he was, after all, only gentleman.
and by the time Broadway was reached
she was quite at her ease again

up for the time he had lost in helping

NEW X. OF P. HALL
Formally Dedicated with Most Inter
esting Ceremonies, Tuesday Evening.

The formal dedication of the new
Knights of Pythias hall in the building
of the Maine Trust and Banking Co.
was held, Tuesday evening, and was
an event that was worthy of the fine
new quarters of Gardiner Lodge, No. .
X. of P. The hall and its furnishings
must needs be seen to be adequately
appreciated, and on Tuesday evening
its appearance was of the best. The
presence of the members of the lodge
with their guests and the officers OF
the Grand Lodge made a scene that
was pretty to look upon and the good
cheer of all who attended added in
making the affair one of the most
pleasant in the history of the lodge.
The dedication service of the order
was performed by the grand officers
and an address on the past history of
the lodge was given by Hon. George
w. Heselton in his usual pleasing way
and William J. Landers spoke very in
terestingly on the future of the lodge.
Past Grand Chancellor Warren Phil
brick of Portland also gave a very
interesting address. Music for the oc
casion was rendered by an orchestra
under the direction of T. +. Monaghan.
Following the ceremonies banquet
was served and this proved one of the
pleasant features of the affair, as did
the dance which followed it.
Among the grand officers who were
present on this occasion were: Grand
Chancellor Lyman McDougall of Booth
bay; Grand Vice Chancellor w. e.
