THAT ATTACK ON CONSUL MAGELs-
SEN

Several days have elapsed since it
was reported that Mr.. Magelssen, our
vice consul at Beirut, had been assas-
sinated, and subsequently it was stated
that an attempt had been made to as
sassinate him. What the vice consul
says about the matter no one seems to
know, but the Turkish authorities say
! that the report of the assassination
originated in ceremonies connected with
marriage celebration. What The
truth is our minister to Turkey does
not seem to know. but he isn't willing
to accept the Turkish version of the
affair unless It is supported by a. judi
cial investigation. If he has obtained
Vice Consul Magelssen's version
he has not thought it advisable
to make it public. In the meantime the
Turkish authorities at Beirut have ar
rested five persons who are supposed to
know something about the matter.
The Turkish government is extreme
~ anxious to appease the wrath Of
President Roosevelt, who, on the re-
ceipt of the report that the vice consul
had been assassinated, ordered the Eu-
ropean squadron to Beirut. with in
structions to see to it that American
interests were protected there and else
where in Turkey.
What troubles Turkey is the effect
the appearance of our fleet in Turkish
waters will have upon the insurrection
that is now spreading throughout Tur-
keys European provinces. If it should
impress the insurgents with the belief
that the United States are going to
interfere in their behalf the insurrec-
ton would be stimulated to such an ex-
tent that Turkey might have great diff
f1culty in suppressing it. Indeed she
might not be able to suppress it.
President Roosevelt has been some
what severely criticised in some quar-
ters for his hasty action. 1t is claimed
that he should have waited until there
was confirmation of the report, as there
would have been if the vice consul had
been assassinated or an attempt had
been made on his life. OF course he
understood that Turkey was greatly
harassed by the Macedonian insurrec-
ton and that any demonstration by the
United States would add to her embar-
rassment.
On the other hand the point is made
that it was his duty to show the Turk
ish government that any injury done
American interests within Turkish Ju
risdiction would be met by a prompt
demand for reparation, because, in that
way only, could protection of Ameri-
cans and American property be Sc
cured. 1t is probable. however, that
in this case American interests would
not have suffered any harm if the Pres
ldent had not been quite so prompt in
sending Admiral Cotton and his squad
ron to Beirut.

Lord Of Abergeleu, in Carnarvon, con-

Justice of England when the latter

to Oliver Cromwell, the President of

to trim his sails with such skill that
he won the favor of King Charles II,
who confirmed the baronetcy, or rather
conferred it afreSh. SO loyal to the
crown are the Williams BulGeleys that
they take no account of the Cromwell
beronetcy, and date the creation of this
hereditary dignity of their house only
from the time when it was subsequently

Senator Patrick H. McCarren has, it
seems, says the New York Times, a
special dislike for a certain type of
inquisitive woman reformer.
A woman of this cast worried him
considerably al one time about his
vote upon a bill concerning her sex.
She haunted his favorite places, and
one day advanced to his desk and be-
gan examining objects upon it.
Whats this?" she inquired, pick
ing up a weighty brown thing which
slipped out of her hand and dropped
like heavy stone to the floor.
THAT" replied the Senator. 'Oh,
that's a tea biscuit baked by some
women reformers who are eager to get
a bill through on some kind of scien-
tific cooking. It's the finest paper
weight l ever had"
The woman departed silently and
troubled him no more.

nRYAN IN ONO.

Mr.. Bryan has gone to Ohio to take
part in the campaign in that state.
A day or two ago it was stated that
he had cancelled his engagement to
make speeches in Ohio, but 1t seems
that the statement was mistake.
VIII he not find it rather difficult to
be consistent? If he was quoted cor
rectly he stated not very long ago that
the Palmer Buckner Democrats would
have to repent and openly acknowl-
edge their error before they could
get back into the Democratic party.
The man the Democratic state con-
vention of Ohio Endorsed for United
States senator was a Palmer Buckner
Democrat, and as far as is known, he
has never repented. He not only sup
ported Palmer and Buckner, but he
is a corporation lawyer, and, doubt
less, is in sympathy with trusts.
And it is said that the nominee
for Governor of Ohio, Tom Johnson,
isn't in favor of the silver plank Of
the Kansas City platform. If there
fore Mr.. Bryan makes effective
speeches for the Democratic ticket he
will have to make some excuses for
the men for whom he speaks.
1t was stated in dispatch from Lin
coin, Neb., recently that Mr.. Charles A.
Towne was Mr.. Bryan's candidate for
President. He was a Republican and
subsequently was the chairman of the
Silver Republican party. He was in
the United States Senate for a short
time, having been elected from Min
nesota as the candidate of the fusion
lists. If all accounts of his career since
he left public life are correct he has
made a fortune in Wall street and has
had a good deal to do with the pro-
noting of trusts.
Mention of Mr.. Towne is made in
this connection for the reason that
Mr.. Bryan is supposed to be a bitter
enemy of the trusts. How is it then
that he faVors Mr.. Towne as the Dem
ocratic nominee for President? But
it is not more strange that he should
favor the nomination of Mr.. Towne
under such circumstances than that he
should make speeches in Ohio in sup
port of Mr.. Clarke, a gold Democrat
who openly supported the Palmer
Buckner ticket.
1t may be Mr.. Bryan's purpose to
avoid speaking in favor of Mr.. Clarke.
1t is difficult to see, however, how he
can do that. 1t is true of course that
the Ohio Democrats reaffirmed the
Kansas City platform, but it Endorsed
Mr.. Clarke. Such Inconsistency is al
most certain to cause trouble in the
party. The convention that Endorsed
a Palmer Buckner Democrat, and I'M
repentant one, and at the same time
reaffirmed the Kansas City platform
could not have been greatly bothered
by political convictions. 1t may be
that Mr.. Bryan will be able to recon-
cile the inconsistency.

LITTLE INTEREST IN THE YACHT
CONTEST.

Comparatively little interest has been
lance and Shamrock III since it be-
came evident that the Reliance was so
much the better boat that there was
but little probability that the cup
would be carried to England. Sir
Thomas Upton has been discussing
very freely during the last few days
the fact that his boat is much inferior
to the Reliance. And he does not hes
itate to say that the Reliance has much
the better crew. In a talk on board on
his yacht last Sunday he said: THE
smartest sailors 1 ever saw in my life
are those who sail the Reliance" He
had good reason for saying that. In
every one of the races thus far the cap
tain of the Reliance has shown great
er skill than the captain of
Shamrock III. And the Amer
lean sailors are in every respect supe-
rior to the English Sir Thomas. how
ever, is very generous in speaking of
the designer of his boat and the men
who sail her. He says that he is salts
fed that they have done the very best
they could. but he leaves the impress
sion that he thinks they are not the
equal of the American designer and the
American sailors. He would gladly ac-
cept the suggestion, that the yachts
change crews and have race after the
cup contest is over, but it is doubtful
LIN .oI, AGt
would be humiliating to the English
sailors. 1t would be practically an ad-
mission of their inferiority.
Sir Thomas seems to nave a griev-
ance against the British people. He
says they are stale as compared with
the people of the United States. The
Americans do things in half the time
1t takes Englishmen to do them. For
instance, he says, if a bridge is wanted
in Egypt and an English firm is asked
to make bid for the work it will name
it's price and say that it can have it
finished in a year. American firms
when asked to bid name their figures
almost Immediately and agree to have
the work done in three months. In the
course of his talk he expressed the
opinion that England was getting old
and in a state of decay" and in sup
port of this view he pointed out that
her imports now exceed her exports.
Evidently Sir Thomas is not we'll
pleased with many things in the coun-
try of which he is a citizen. He is
satisfied that England has no designer
who can design d boat that will enable
an Englishman to carry off the Amer
ica's cup and no sailors equal to those
of the United States. He is doubtless
50 tisfied that no Englishman will sue
coed in lifting" the cup. and that If
the effort were made again to lift"
it the failure would be more complete
than any of the three failures he has
made.

There is no doubt, of course, that
New Jersey charters are good, but
the state is getting a rather hard name
for issuing them with such a free
hand and without investigating the
character of the applications for them.
The New Jersey authorities must
know that many of the applications
have nothing but wind behind them,
and that it is intended to make the
charters valuable by means of water
that is, water injected into the shares.
A question that is being quite fire.
quently asked is this: Is there not
moral obligation resting on New Jer-
sey to issue charters only to companies
or trusts it knows to have ample means
to carry into effect the purposes for
which the charters are granted? 1t
may be said that it is none of the
states affair if it is the purpose of
those seeking a charter to defraud
the public. That is an untenable po-
sition. BY granting a charter without
knowing whether or not it is to be put
to an honest use it puts itself
in the position of not caring whether
or not the public is defrauded.
1t has been recently stated that the
amount in fees and taxes which New
Jersey has collected from charters is
over $13, 900, 900. That amount went
long way towards paying the taxes of
the people of the state for a number
of years, and doubtless had the effect
n a n 90 in CT no
liberal law under which charters are
granted. OF course. a large amount
still comes into the states treasury
from taxes on charters and some from
fees, but the amount from fees isn't
anywhere near what it was during the
boom time of the trusts.
The trust business was overdone.
Hundreds of the companies formed I'M
der New Jersey charters have been I'M
able to dispose of their securities. 1t
is claimed that the announced capital
stock of all the trust companies to
which New Jersey has issued charters
within the last few years is greater
in amount than the value of all the
railroads of the country. In fact, it
is equal to seven-eighths of the valua-
ton of all the property of the United
States.
Some time ago we called attention to
the fact that the Governor of New
Jersey had cancelled nearly thou
sand charters of trusts in a single week
for failure to comply with the pro-
visions of the law, and in all some
$500 of these New Jersey corpora
tons have gone into oblivion because
they have failed to keep their records
with the New Jersey tax collectors
clean. If all of these corporations had
succeeded in floating their shares there
would be many fortunes wrecked and
large amount of savings lost when
the trust boom bursts. There is a
chance of being trouble enough as it is.

Make Puns on His Name.

George AIDE is a constant victim to
witticisms on his name. says the Read
er for September, but he is used to it
by this time, and they don't worry
him seriously. He says about the
worst one he ever heard was in Bos-

spectacles greeted him with: Dear
me, what a pity, in your business, es-
pecially, that your first name isn't
Lemon" and the best one he heard was

Didn't Look Well.

From the mountains of Camden, Me-,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, comes a
story of Philadelphia merchant who
has a summer cottage in that village.
and who wished to exchange a lively
horse which he owned with a. French
CanaGian, who had a more gentle ami
mai which women and children could
drive. The Frenchman was willing to
trade, but for some reason insisted
upon repeating to the visitor that the
local horse did not look" so well as
tie one belonging to the Philadelpaia
man.
An exchange satisfactory to both
parties vas eventually made, and the
first tune this visitors wife took the
new horse out for a drive she discov-

Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account of
Its DiStinctiYeness.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of it in the highest
terms, for it's quick effect in cleansing
the scalp of dandruff and also for its
excellence as a general addressing.
1t makes the scalp feel fresh and it
allays that itching! which dandruff will
cause. Newbros Herpicide effectively
cures dandruff, as it destroys the germ
that cause it. The same germ causes
hair to fall out, and later badness; in
killing it, Herpicide stops falling hair
and prevents badness. It is also an
ideal hair dressing, for it lends an
aristocratic charm to the hair that is
quite distinctive. Sold by leading drug

Bishop in the Northwest, who, while

asked one of the little girls the ques-
ton, What is matrimony?'
That's where we go to suffer for

er, greatly agitated. began to rebuke
