One of the features of the Turkish sit
uation that it is difficult for the Ameri-
cans to comprehend IL the line of demar-
cation which has existed for thousands of
years among the people. There will be
there little Turkish town. Greek town,
and Slav town situated alongside of one
another for centuries, without coalescine
or intermingling Of any kind. In this
country, no matter what different races
they come together In business, in work
In churches and otherwise, but over there
they never do. The Turks belong to 9
race as distinct from the others as tn,
Jews, and quite as strongly marked They
will not intermarry with the other races
and only meet with them In the most nee
essary relations. The Greeks and Bull
garians will work for the Turks, or will
work for one another, but there the inter
course ends, and the races of people re
main as separate as oil and water.

This is a little over three per cent. of the

DEADLY LOCO WEED.

Cattle in Montana.

Big Timber, Mont. Aug. 20.-Advices
received from the Saltwater country
say that following the devastation OF
the ranges by plague of grasshoppers
the stock has taken TO eating the dead
ly loco weed and many horses and cat
tie are dying.
The plant is very juicy and in dry
weather the stock appears very fond
of it. Ii appears to kill cattle In 4
short time. but horses will linger many
days il helpless condition and gen
orally have to be put out OF their mis-
cry. The stock,nen are much alarmed
and the aid OF the state will be asked
to help combat the spread OF loco.
The condition of many of the ranges
in eastern Montana almost beggars
description as q result of the ravages
of grnsshoppers. Trains traversing
the country have the fronts of engines
plastered with the sticky remains of
thousands of the hoppers. The distur-
bance of little vegetation will send
clouds of the insects into the air.

New York Hotel MANAGER Gets Half {

New York. Aug. 19.-Just about the

salary of Charles II. Sehwab as presi-
dent of the billion dollar steel trust was
not S1000000 a year, as had been cur
rentiy reported. but beggarly $780,

man in New York receives a salary of
$500, 900 for running corporation cap
'italized at $1,000. He is George c.
Boldt. and he is commonly spoken of
as the proprietor of the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel
1t should not be supposed that Mr.
Boldt receives a stated salary for con-
Quoting the big hotel. There are profit

by those aware of Mr.. Boldts income

he is the highest salared man in the

Proposed Nomination For Gov
ernor of New York Leads
to Presidential Honors
ROOT is A CANDIDATE IN 1908
President Roosevelt, According to Re-
port, is Pushing the War Secretary
Forward in Politics With the Idea
of PIacatine the Opposition to Pres
ent Administration.

Washington. Aug. 20-Great signifi-
canoe is attached to the proposition
said 10 have the endorsement of Pres
ident Roosevelt. looking to the nominal
ton Of Elihu Root. for governor of
New York, and in 1908 for president of
the United States. II is said that the
president is pushing forward MIR. Root
in politics with the idea of placating
the opposition TO the present national
administration which is said to exist in
financial circles in New York.
Mr.. Root is one member of the adj
ministration at least who is not look
ed upon by the financial interests with
disfavor, and it is thought that he could
have great deal of influence with that
class in their tents in the coming pres
idential campaign.
1t is said that there is no question
as 10 the demand for services such as
he can render to the national admin
istration. The anti-Roosevelt repub-
lcans of New York have thrown off all
pretense of Disgusting their hostility,
and are fighting the president tooth and
nail.
An interesting story is going the
rounds today to the effect that Mr.
Root narrowly escaped standing in Mr.
Roosevelt's shoes today. The story is
that at banquet in this city Saturday
evening Postmaster General Payne
read a letter which Mr.. Root wrote to
the national convention in 1900, declin-
ing the nomination for the vice pres
idency. Acceptance of the nomination
had been urged upon him by President
Mckinley, it was said, but Mr. Root
felt that work he had undertaken grow
ing out of the war with Spain made IT
incumbent upon him to remain at the
head of the war department. The let
ter of declination was written 10 the
chairman of the convention, so the
story goes to be used in case a move
ment was set on foot 10 nominate MI.
Root.

ArtstOcracy of Wealth Not Probable.
Whatever the tendencies of wealthy
Americans of the present day, it is ex-
tremely improbable that an aristocracy
Of wealth should ever come into being
1t has been seen that an aristocracy
depends chiefly upon two conditions
the continued possession and exercise
of power and the consequent unity Of
aims and ideals.
The aristocratic body in England, for
instance, is self conscious; its members
are united by mutual understanding
They acknowledge certain well recog
nized laws Of life and manners. They
depend upon each other to uphold these
laws. Individually, wealthy Ameri-
cans may be both self conscious and
self assertive, but collectively they are
antagonistic to one another The ac-
emulation of wealth implies struggle,
and struggle does not bring forth the
kind Of qualities which make of the
gentle and stately men and women Of
Vandyke's canvases one great family.

All rimeEeepers Are inaccurate.

The capacity of a watch for keeping
good time is very much governed by
its construction and its more or less
perfect finish. 1t cannot be expected
of the best horizontal watch that it
should always keep good time and even
less so of the inferior make Of machine
made watches. The changes Of oil, the
variation in temperature, the diversity
of humidity of atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going Of watch. Indeed, it
is only the most perfect finish which
neutralizes the adverse influences to
the greatest degree. AS matter of
fact, no watch keeps perfectly correct
time and even the best chronometers
used in observatories and on board
ships must be regulated according to
tables which are kept to fix the varia-
lions to which all watches are liable.
