ABOUT HOMELY MEN.
Handsome Features and n Good
Quality of Brain .eldOm
Found Together.

There was n voting contest in
Chatham, N. Y. The effort was not to
discover a prize baby or the winsom-
est girl, but to trace to his lair the
homeliest man.
Charles II. Hurlbert won by 30
votes. He brooded over it until he be-
zane temporarily insane, and made
an attack on his father, w%ounding the
old man seriously.
No man likes to feel that he resem-
bles a singed cat, or that his personal
appearance is so different from that
of his fellows as to make him a shin
ing mark.
But personal beauty is a feminine
characteristic. It means much in a
woman, and to a man is almost a
drawback.
OF he is extraordinarily cookbook
ing, he is often a vain fool. Hand
some features and brains are seldom
given to one man.
Go through the list of Americas
big-brained men who have done things
in the field of education, finance and
commerce.
You'll find men like Hadley,of Yale;
Tom Reed, the ex-speaker, who now
garners thousands every year as a
New York lawyer; Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the, United States, who
wouldn't take q prize at a beauty
show If it ran 100 years-and thou
sands more-but no pretty men.
The Adonislike fellows seldom go
beyond the scented-note, matinee-idol
stage.

plain face should study the pictures
of the great men of the world and

Oyster Bay n. Y, Aug. 7.-Concerning various

the fate of the Panama Canal treaty. which is
being considered by the Colombian Congress,
1t was learned to-day the highest authority
that the administration is at present virtually

that the administration has not been in COM
muncation with Bogota since the last week in
July and is not officially aware whether the
treaty has been ratified. amended or rejected
1t is said that telegraphic communication with
Bogota has been severed for the last ten days
owing to a disagreement between the Colombian

OPINIONS OF POWERS.
English officials Think Turkey Can
Restore Order.

London, Aug 7-Confdental official reports
received at the Foreign office regarding Mace
donia have caused the British Government TO
adopt the view that the situation is not very
serious for the moment. 2lthough sufficiently SO
to warrant the taking OF precautions The
Porte is looked to to re-establish order on it's
own territory and the British officials do not
believe that Turkey contemplates an attack on
Bulgaria in view of the known attitude of the
powers. especially Russia and Austria
AS far as officials representing Balkan States
here are aware the Macedonian Committee does
not possess sufficient funds to open successful
revolution. but it hopes by continuing the exist
ing unrest ultimately to bring about the inter-
ference OF the powers which signed the Berlin
Treaty.
Joseph Angeloff. the first diplomatic agent Of
Bulgaria in London said to-day in an inter-
view:
But for the farseeing policy of Prince Ferdi-
nand and the iron hand he has on the Bull
garian Ministry, there would certainly have
been a general uprising behalf Of Macedonia.
The feeling at the heart of every Bulgarian is to
go to Macedonia, but this cannot be. We shall
continue to make representations to the Porte
for reforms and better government in Mace
donia. Bulgaria is disturbed to the quick over
Macedonia. but there will be no disturbance of
the political peace.
Vienna, Aug. THE Foreign Office is abso-
outbreaks in the Balkans, and is not inclined to
believe that the situation is really dangerous
The diplomats are convinced that so long as
Austria and Russia maintain their present atti-
tUde any serious outbreak is improbable.
One of the principal explanations of the re-
ported outbreaks is that, the harvest being over,
large numbers of men leaving work have Joined
the bands in Macedonia but a general revolu-
tionary movement appears 10 be unexpected 1t
is thought that the Macedonian committees are
following their former policy Of melting at
tacks upon the Turkish Mahometans I'm hopes
of exciting the Turks to massacre the Bulgar-
ians in revenge.
1t is believed that Turkey is well prepared
TO put down any revolution, there being eighty
thousand troops in the disanected provinces in
addition TO large reserves.
One Of the gravest features OF the situation
as seen here is the danger that il may lead 10
war between Turkey and Bulgaria The feeling
is so strong in Bulgaria that il is feared that
Prince Ferdinand might be faced with the
alternative OF declaring abdiCating The
recent rumOrs of a revolution at Sofia Bulgaria
unfounded. but Ferdinands position is dif7-
cult as regards his relations not only with his
own people, but with Russia and Turkey also.
