Is I'm Council With His Minis
 tePs - Dawn of Liberation
 From Turkish NIisru1e.
 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. A council presided over by Prince Ferdinand and attended by the premier and the minis ters of interior, war and justice was held at the palace of Euxinograd, near Varna .~ .-...
 The insurgent general staff has is- sued a proclamation throughout Mace donia asking for the support of the whole population and pointing out that the revolutfonaries are not fighting for ne1Yhboring power, but for human rights.
 The proclamation says:
 Armed only with your own strength against mighty empire, against piti- less foes. with the power of your right hand and the might of your spirit, you have shaken the hateful Ottoman do minion. A hundred thousand of the sultan's soldiers and an innumerable infdel mob were unable to resist your advance. You have sacrificed every thing before the altar of liberty Your villages were burned, your homes pill  laged, your children massacred and your sisters, wives and mothers vio- lated. A succession of valiant cham pions has persisted in the struggle and dyed the fatherland withs their dear blood.
 ''The dawn of liberty peeps already above the Macedonian horizon and awaits this stroke to shine with it's full brilliancy on the Macedonian land. The hour for the battle strikes. The cry of Liberty or deathp will break the chains of slavery and bring the triumph of justice"
 More fighting is reported from the district of Debre The Turks attacked the revolutionaries at the village of Dambenf, and both sides suffered heavy losses. A company of Albanian troops passing through the valley of Kitschero was slaughtered by revolu- tionaries. The Turkish troops recently made an attempt to take q pass occu- pied by insurgents through the valley of the Sateska river, but were defeat ed. with great loss.

 letter now and then from gentleman she had met when receiving her instruc- tions in music in the Queen City.
 > Dukeen was inclined, like many young swains, to be bit Jealous, and he told her it would please him if she would quit writing to the southern Ohio friend. She promised to do so. But 1t was a promise to be broken, as he discovered a few weeks later, when by the sheerest acci- dent he came across one of the young mans letters and read ie.
 He accused the girl Of being false to him, and as it was then approaching Thanksgiving time of the year and they were to be married the following New Years eve, he chided her about her ur,- faithfuiness and they Quarreled. Dukeen soon saw he had been hasty and en- deavored to smooth matters over, but In a fit of rage she informed him that she would never marry man that was jeal- ous. She cared tod much for her own happiness to do that.
 He attempted to renew the engage ment few days later, but she was ob- stinate and the following spring she was wed to Joseph Cordington, a young man from the city with little to recommend him but handsome face, glib tongue and well-fitting clothes made by city tailor He did not please her parents. nor did they please him. It asnot long until the couple, after receiving some as sistance from David Rawlins, moved to the west.
 Letters came occasionally to the old folks, but they did not indicate any great degree of happiness on the part of the daughter. Then came the news of baby daughter. Two or three years later Cordington forged the name of a stock man in Omaha, Neb., and was sent to prison, only to die short time afterward of quick consumption. Theyoung moth CT and child came back to live with her parents, both of whom died a few years later, and Mrs Cordington and her little daughter disappeared after the settle ment of her fathers estate.
 Dukeen's parents died short time aft CT thelr sons disappointment, and from that time on Hiram Dukeen lived the life of a recluse He did not see Mrs. Cordington and her child when she re- turned from the west. Tn fact, he avoided seeing them Dukeen lived apart from isfellow- beings as much as possible, and wrapped himself up in his books, papers, of which he took many, and his farm, from which he earned livelihood. One day there arrived fin stryker, O.. a young lady, who made inquiries about the old man, if he was still living, and where. She was unable to secure much information until she went, to Scott, O., near which town she understood the man lived. She visited him, and as she had long since known her mothers life story, she knew of what to converse when she was received at this little home. While little can be learned of the two parties, l it is said that the daughter, Anna, told him she was prepared to make amends 1 for the great wrong her mother had done him. and asked him point blank if he would marry her. That they arrived at a satisfactory understanding the quiet lit | tie wedding testffies. They took up their abode in Dunkeen's little house, which rapidly took on the appearance of a cosy | little home under the influence of wo- mans hand.

yesterday after a summer in New
York and will resume the active man
agement of the Greenwall Theatrical
Circuits interests here. He will pre-
sent Hermann the Great as the
opening attraction Friday night with
Saturday matinee.
Never in the history of Savannah
theatricals has the outlook been so
promising for a brilliant season. Man
ager Seeskind has certainly made good
his promise to several of his intimate
friends at a dinner rendered him on
the eve of his departure after last sea-
son. Il promise you" he said on that
occasion, that there will not be any
thing too good for Savannah next sea-
son, for when get into the New
York market my motto will be moth
ing but the best"
The list of attractions for the COM
ing season is certainly one to conjure
with. including, as it does, the best
of the tried successes. Manager Sees
kind has happily blended his bookings
so there will not be an overdose of any
particular feature. THE Wizard of
OF is one of the best musical attrac-
tons. Others are THE Chinese Hon
eymoon," fresh from the Casino; THE
Silver Slipper" after a year at the
Broaway Theater; Henry w. Savage's
aggregation in the tuneful King
Dodo," THE StOrks," the Chicago
success; "Floradora." Hoyts "A Trip
to Chinatown" "a Stranger in New
York. The Burgomaster," Shay

Toreador," Francis Wilson in his new
opera, and other attractions of equal
merit.
BY special arrangement with F. c.
Whitney, Manager Seeskind has secur-
ed the newest of all operas, when
Johnny Comes Marching Home" which
set New York by the ears last season.
y similar coup was made in securing
KSAgsbury's and Welty's musical COM
ede 1.-The Chaperons."
CVeatore and his band have been
secAred for another engagement in

an attractive one. There will be the
