when English was used in the interna-

The growth of the United States as

TURKEY RAPIDLY
MOBILIZIHG ARMY
Powers Said to Have In
formed Bulgaria That She
Need Not Expect Help

Sofia, Bulgaria. Sept. II. - Prince
Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, has arrived
here from Euxinograd. A semi-ohicial
statement just issued says: "The de
tails received here of the atrocities
daily committed by Turkish soldiers
pass the bounds Of imagination. The
general opinion is that Adrianople will
soon be entirely depopulated of the
Christian element"
Although no formal replies have
been received to the Bulgarian's gov
ernment's note, il is stated that the
representatives of three great powers
have repeated their counsels TO Bull
garia to remain quiet, as in the event
of war with Turkey Bulgaria need
not expect any help in foreign quar-
ters. It is further reported that the
same diplomats visited General Pc
troff and endeavored TO persuade him
to postpone the mobilization Of Bull
garian forces, but the premier de-
clined.
A telegram from Uskub says the mo-
biIization of the Turkish army is pro
ceeding rapidly, whilst dispatches
from Constantinople assert that the
military party is urging the sultan to
order his troops to cross the Bulga-
rian frontier without a declaration of
war, which the party regards as un-
necessary, fnasmuch as Bulgaria is a
vassal state of Turkey. The sultan is
said to be still hesitating.

CARRIAGE RUN DOWN
WITH FATAL RESULTS
Principal Stratton, of Pitman

May express train on the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad struck a car
riage containing Principal Henry S.
stratton. of the Pitman Grove public
school. and Samuel ClendennIng, Of
Richwood. N. j., killing Stratton and
badly injuring Clendenning, who was
removed to the Cooper Hospital, Cam
den. The horse was killed.
Two score or more OF cottagers, in
Guiding Recorder Stackhouse, of Cam
den. we're on the platform awaiting the
arrival Of the accommodation { ain,
which follows the express. From their
places of shelter they could see the
danger OF the occupants of the team,
but their shouts of warning were
drowned in the roar Of the gale, and
the next instant the ponderous locomo-
tive had crashed into the carriage.
The horse. mangled and its life in
stantly crushed out, was cut loose from
the carriage and hurled to the left Of
the tracks. The vehicle and It's occu-
pans were thrown in the opposite direc-
ton.
Before any OF the witnesses to the
accident could reach the wrecked car
riage. Mr.. Clendenning was seen to
wriggle from the mass Of wreckage and
stagger across the roadway in the di-
rection of Fox's stables He had taken
but half a dozen steps when he fell
unconscious.
While willing hands tenderly carried
his body to the shelter OF the station
platform, Professor Stratton's uncon-
scious form was extricated from the
demolished carriage. and it, TOO, laid
beside his unfortunate neighbor Both
men were still alive. and when the ex-
pr IS. which had been stopped, was
backed to the station, both bodies we're
placed In the baggage car and the train
pulled out for Camden. Professor STRAIT

The MAJESTY OF THE LAW.

Attorney General Ward is doing his
simple duty in preparing to submit all
the evidence ne can secure against the
participants in the iynching Of George
White. TO the grand jury. No other
course would be compatible with his
oath OF office. Presumably our courts
are competent to do justice; II not. we
had better abolish them. II there are
my best citizens caught in the drag
net we shall have the satisfaction Of
snowing that those offenders who are
most responsible for law and order and
who are familiar with the laws, are
nconvenienced. IL not punished.
Tho mob is irresponsible. but a
yrand jury is composed OF selected
men. all under oath. and under the in
itructions Of those learned in the law.
Their verdict win follow the presenta-
ion OF evidence and be the result Of
iue deliberatlon. such tribunals are
the product OF civilization. They rep
resent humanity at it's highest, while
he mob is the weapon Of primitive
man.
We thint the Attorney General
should experience no dinaculty in Sc
uring evidence. one State detective
admitted that he was present AZ the
assault on the workhouse and at the
lynching which followedl in the dis
sharge Of his duiiesf His testimony
should be valuable, besides the i'm
portance Of HIS advice in naming the

another, especially when II is to pro-
ect themselves, But there are many
who were spectators who win not lie.

uttered in a proper criticism Of pub

Attorney McQuiston replied to Attor-

uttered.
Judge Wilson interrupted him by
stating that unless he confined himself
TO the specific evidence of slander there
would have to be a non-suit granted.

MISS TODD'S REMOVAL.
VIEWS OF 81. OLDFIELD

brated. Mister Pane ct frogs legs, ana
the Senator had a plate Of ham and
eggs.
But that blame woman wasn't satis-
hde! No; nuthin' would SCOT her but
to go down to Washington and have it
out with Mister Pane. She didn't get
TO see him for quite a spell, for the
clerk said he was busy preparin
charges against some ofisers who had
used their phases to do dirty work and
he was so filed with the sivil servis
idee that he couldn't hardly talk about
postofises.
But bime by he come in, but he didn't
look happy. He was swetin' some, but
he told Miss Todd that they wasn't
nuthin' agin' her exceptin' that bein
a woman she couldn't vote the Union
Republican ticket-or words to that er-
feet; but that the CRATE Delaware Sem
ator didn't like the way she wore her
hair, and that although she had once
bought a breast pin off of him, yet she
wasn't regler customer.
That's where he maid his mistaik.
The papers all over the country said
things that made Mister Pane lose his
appetite, but it didn't affect Frank; he
likes it. cause If they don't menshun
him thataway, they won't notis him at
all.
SO Mister Pane telegraffed for Frank
and he went down, and they desided
to give out that Miss Todd had let Reg
Ter Republicans meat in her offs, and
that this was what maid 'em so mad,
as they was bound to see that they
wasn't no ofensiv partisanship dis
nfndo Co nTiefor pano rive ont tho cto,,,
in Washington and Senator Alice give
il out in Dover, and they awaited re-
suits with a clare conscience.
But, Lauray. the noblest ones on
earth has a load of sensure to bare.
The papers said that If Miss Todd had
did wrong it hadn't been found out till
after she was fired cause Mr.. Pane had
said they wasn't no complaints. 1t
seems that the papers had got on to
him and Frank.
Now amt it sickenin'? And all about
a woman. I say that a woman amt
got no rite to hold ofis-leastwise not
unless they have got lot Of men in
the family to vote the Union Republi-
can ticket. A woman amt got no busi-
ness in a post offs, anyway. They is
so dern pertickiler that a man can't
squirt tobacker juice on the winders
nor cuss when he feels like it, without
maxim trubble.
But the world is movin', and with
Postmaster Generals like Pane and
United States Senators like Alice we
shall live to see all the wimmin throwed
out and sivil servis reform triumfant.
Yours faithfully

EDITORIAL OPINION
silver Going Up.

From the Phila. Evening Telegraph.
Silver bullion is on the upward track
again, and some apprehensions are felt
at Washington lest the advance may
continue until IL reaches a point at
which the safety of the new Philippine
currency will be imperiled. The last
purchase by the Director Of the Mint
for coinage purposes on Philippine ac-
count was of 100000 ounces of bullion
at 5S.27 cents per ounce. If the white
metal should continue to appreciate in
value, it has not far to go before it
reaches 64.10 cents per ounce, when the
new silver pesos which are now being
turned out at the Mint I'm this city for
circulation in our insular possessions
would be worth more as bullion than
their face value as legal tender. In thar
contingency they would instantly dis
appear from circulation. and the disor.
ganized financial conditions which
have been such a drawback TO the busi-
ness interests Of the islands would re-
turn.

lookin for you.
Now I'm goin' to tell the story just
as 1t happened. and l leave it to you
If we amt bein' treated nasty. 1t all
come about through Senator Frank
Alice bein' so honest. He says to his
self. We'll, hear ! am drawin' $1,000 a
year with perkisites, and the govern
ment expects me to earn my pay doin'
the statesman act"
So ne thought a spell and then he
rode down TO Washington on his pass
ana saw his friend Mister Pane. /
can't tell you all that took plase, for
CRATE men often find that secresy goes
best with their doins'. But anyway ne
asst Mister Pane If he couldn't turn out
a few postmasters TO help the grand
and glorious cause Of the nobel John
Edward Addicks?
Mister Pane said that he recognized
kindred sperit when he lade ise on
one, and he thought he could help
some.
SO they desided to begin with turnin'
out woman, cause they said a woman
wouldn't fife for her plase, and they
could tackle the big men later
But says Mister Pane. you know
Frank, you and Ed will hat to file
charges or make a bluff at it, SOS 1 can
swell out my chest and make a bluff
at maxim a change for the good Of the
servis.'
But they amt nuthin' to bring
charges over says Frank--I mean SEN
ator Alice
"Welb' says Mister Pane while a hui
mersome look came into his eyes, how
w9iild it do for you to say she was per-
sonally and particularly obnoxious to
YOU?
That's bully" says the Senator,
'and you mite add that any person who
don't vote the Union Republican ticket
is in the saim cattygory."
SO they fixed it uD and then went
down to a swell eatin' plase and silly.
