Says Missionaries Are Troublesome.

"Now, there is that other trouble
some question Of missionaries We
have allowed the missionaries great
liberties, and with what result? l read
in the American papers frequently OF
what some returned missionary from
Turkey has to say about Wiping my
country off the map of Europe. L am
advised that certain missionaries when
they go to Turkey are constantly
arousing the Armenians against the
Moslems. They even talk to the Ar
menians about eXterminating us.
But we have the missionaries and
my government earnestly strives to
protect them. 1t is merely justice,
however, that when the missionary
comes to Turkey he should confine
himself to the religious and intellect
uaI training Of his pupils, and not en-
deaVOr to make them dissatisfied with
their present form of government.
"MaSSacres in Turkey, unfortunate
occur. But do they not occur in Chris
tan lands? No one would be so fool
ish to hold the United States govern
ment responsible every time a negro Is
lynched. Turkey deplOres the massa-
cres and we are today doing all in our
power to prevent them. And yet If a
massacre occurs in Bulgaria, the cry
goes up, Down with the Turk And
Wnen my government StIIuS lIoopS ~
Bulgaria to punish the guilty the same
cry is heard. 1t Is always the Turk
that gets the blame. Can one wonder
that a feeling of, l won't say hostility
but of coIdness, is aroused among my
countrymen toward those who are for
ever blaming them? L do not think
the European powers are as glad as
they profess to be that the American
squadron has gone to Turkish waters.
They would be still more dissatisfied If
they found that the Washington gov
eminent stood ready to help Turkey in
her troubles"

When the north-siders asserted, with JUS
tice. that their site in much the buster
neighborhood, the south-siders responded
by forwarding two photographs. one
showed the north side site, without hu-
man being in sight, with only one wagon
in the distance and a dog asleep in the
middle of the sidewalk: the other showed
the south-side site, with people hurrying
hither and thither, and carriages almost
running into each other.
Something about the shadows in these
pictures excited the suspicious OF one OF our
photographers, and We made an investlga-
tion which showed that the north-side pno-
tograph had been taken in the earliest
morning in summer, before anyone but the
milkman was up, and with "A long exposure.
The other was a snapshot taken after fuli
theatrical preparation; every south-sider
who could come himself or send his car
riage had done so, and then the local fire
alarm was rung to start a crowd of all
sorts of people hurrying across the field OF
view.
This was bad enough. But when we had
decided beyond question on the north-side
site the secretary of the treasury, who was
n delicate health, went abroad for d short
rest. Would you believe it-those south
siders actually picked out their glibbest
talker and sent him abroad to make the
voyages, both going and coming. on the
same ship with the secretary, to try TO
wheedle him into reversing his decision!
OF course, the old mans disgust settled the
matter for good and ALL"

THE KAIsER,s IDEA OF A NAVY.
System and Ships of What Will Prob
ably Be Greatest in the World.

H. w. Wilson, in Golfers Weekly.
The German navy is practically the crea-
ton of the present Kaiser's reign. Up TO
1883 it was insignificant in numbers and
was a factor of infinitesimal Importance in
the balance of naval power. Even to-day
it is not particularly formidable. But Ii Is

tinacity and foresight that indicate plainly
what the future will bring forth. Scheme
after scheme for it's increase is laid before
the country and the Reichstag and, with a
few unimportant deductions, is carried.
The ''boundless plans of 1898 were fol-

Yet, in spite of appearances, the German
is quite at home on the sea. The handling
of German ships is good In the manuevers;
that of the torpedo boats has, with long
years of practice, been brought to absolute
perfection. When the Kaiser visited Eng

adrenoxin. which does the work of supply
ing the tissues with oxygen which has so
long been credited to the red corpusces
The suprarenal glands are connected by
nerves with small organ in the brain (the
use of which has not been known) which
governs them and regulates their absorb
ton Of oxygen. DR.. Sajous says that il is
on this organ of the brain, called the
anterior pituitary body. that all poisons
work, and 1t fights them by stirring up the
glands to take up more oxygen. More
oxygen means more combustion, the burn

is fever. A strong pituitary enables a man

use of pituitaries is understood, they can

Hall on the night OF March IL. and Prose-
cutor Randolph reached an agreement this
afternoon whereby the case in court is set

pay $50 damages to the Columbian Hall
owners and the payment Of 81 fine and

afternoon that the settlement was made.
The sophomores have agreed to pay half
the damage to the hall. and the members of
the freshmen class have decided 10 share
the fines.
The case Is now taken from the courts
and the final disposition left to President
Stone. Since the affair happened freshmen
and sophomores have buried the hatchet
and stood firmly together, each class help

almost certain that some explosions will
follow. The object of the freshmen in
wishing 10 withhold the names of those

learn who were largely responsible for the
riot. President Stone is wedding out those
culpable, and has the names of those on

Lawyers as Legislators.
New York Evening Post.

Among the dangers to which honest legis-
lation is exposed perhaps the subtlest is
this: Most of the legislators are lawyers.
They do not give up their practice when
they take the oath of office, and still hold
retainers from their various clients. Some
day they receive word that a client is in
terested In a bill that is coming up for con-
sideration. 1t appears to be regarded by
lawyers as entirely defensble that they
should vote on the measure their client
desires. In this lies the explanation of
many a bad vote by q good man. 1t often
happens that private interests aid their
counsel to be nominated in the expectation
that when elected he will serve them in the
Legislature. 1t is quite as true now, as
when Theodore Roosevelt wrote it, that
very rich men, or men with wide business
concerns, who are not known to have the
least interest in politics or legislation, are
represented at Albany by men they own"
