THE LONGEST WORDS.
Greek Lexicon Contains One OF IT.
Letters Which,, Trunslated,
Means "Haxh.''

We have recently read with interest a
discussion running through the papers
regarding the longest words. The two
words which seem to have been guilty of
starting the discussion are 'incircum-
scrlptibleness' and Observation-Disclosures
lnity' each having % letters. These
were soon placed in obscurlty by the dis
covery of the word "antidisestablish-
mentarians"-26l letters. Another seek
er after long words rang the changes on
the last-named word, and made it 'tanti-
dlsestablishmentarian letters
and this seems to be the longest English
word yet unearthed. However, someone
reported the Welsh word: :'Llanfair-
Observation-Disclosures =
iogoggogoch." This is said to be the
name of Welsh village, al
though how anyone can ask their
way there passes our compre-
hension. But according to another
essayist, this word simply isn't in it,
with the Greek word of 172 letters, to be
found in the unabridged Greek lexicon:
"Lepadotemachoselachodaleokranio
anodrimupoprimma neutrality-suspicious.
lipokapakechumenok okichlepikossuphoph-
Observation-Disclosures ruonoptekephallioklop
Observation-Disclosures"
This is very appropriately the Greek for
hash. After printing this the type evi-
IDENTIFY gave out, as the discussion seems
to have closed. But after all is there any
longer word than smiles, which has

Is that, while I do not think, on fun

in law for issuing this writ, to be
served outside of his district, on the

the matter, to appear before the COM

appointed hour, in company with the
United States attorney, and to state
formally to the commissioner (f called

general that the postmaster-generald de-
clines to produce any government rec
ords and documents called for whatso-

Postmaster-General Payne said that
it was a physical impossiiblity to COM
ply with the subpoena, in any event,
aside from the law in the case. The
subpoena, he pointed out, called for pa
pers, documents and records covering

The CONSCIENCE MAN.

The Conscience Man who lives with me
hear and feel, but cannot see.
He lives with me both day and night.
He's never wrong. but always right.
He has his house within my breast.
And guards and warns me without rest:
And though an endless watch he keeps,
He never tires and never sleeps
Sometimes a mournful song he sings,
Which to my heart deep sorrow brings
And when hear his sad, sad song,
I know he's right and l am wrong
And when I seem to be alone,
And think the Conscience Man has flown
I listen, and hear: "Beware!'
And know the Conscience Man is there.
I'm sure that he Is always good,
And te!s me all the things he should,
And grieves to see me come to shame.
And sorrows when l am to blame
And all my life he pleads and prays
For me to keep from evil ways;
And believe that no one can
Be good without the Conscience Man.

0aves Bulgaria Reason to Suppose
That at an Opportune Moment

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept 15.-Following
are some of the points in the note
which Bulgaria has just presented to
the powers:
What the Bulgarian government had
foreseen, as expressed in its note of
June 20, of the development of affairs
in Turkey. has become amply verified.
The Turkish government is systemat-
ically annihilsting the Bulgarian peo-
pie.
1.-THE mobilization and concentration
of such great forces in European Tur-
key, under the pretext of suppressing
the revolution, gives Bulgaria reason
to suppose that at an opportune mo-
ment she will be attacked by Turkey.
1.-The Bulgarian government can no
longer remain Indifferent to the pres
ence of such a situation, which is of
a nature calculated to bring about a
hostile collision between Turkey and
Bulgaria.
If the great powers do not take
measures to give the sublime porte
counsels of wisdom and of moderation,
the Bulgarian government will be
obliged 10 take the necessary steps to
be ready for every eventuality. and to
