GREAT HOSTILITY.
4, 900 INsURREcIIoNIsTs UNDER
ARMS IN MACEDONIA.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Feb. 26-Unsbat,d
energy, both in words and deeds,
marks the hostility Of the Macedonian
revolutionists toward the program Of
Turkish reforms defined by Russis
and Austria and supported BY Europe.
Sarafoff and Michaelovsky, the lead
ers Of the rebels, whose arrest was de-
creed by Russia, have escaped the
clutches of the Bulgarian officers.
They are now engaged in an active
campaign of Indictment. travelling
from one band of Bulgarian revolu.
tionists to another and perfe;ting ar
rangements for the proposed uprising
in the spring.
Bands Of from sixty to q hundred
revo,u.ionists have been gotten togeth-
er in thifty-four different parts Of
MACEDONIA by these chiefs. Nearly
1000 insurrectionists are under arms
and ready for action in the south.
II Is likely that the persistence Of
the armed Mscedonians In disorder at
the present juncture is synonymous
with their humiliation.

The determination Of the Paducah
Medical society to test the law gov
erning special elections and ascertain
whether or not hospital bonds nave to
be voted at . special or . called cleo.
tion seems to bear the imprint Of a
sincere desire to benefit the city. 1t
may be the best thing to do, but it
will require q great deal of time. An
other thing is the uncertainty OF the
bond proposition carrying when sub
mitted to the people. Mayor Yeiser
is Of the opinion that the bonds may
be voted at special election. 1t seems
that IL the letter of the law does not
so require, the intention was to make
il so, for it will be generally agreed
that all such propositions should be
considered by the people at special
elections, in order that their minds
will not be distracted by political mat
tiers, and in this way . more reliable
sentiments be.secured. It begins to be-
come apparent that the hospital is 60

that he is q notorious burglar and
swindler, and q sentiment that at first

subsidized. The ends of justice seek to
place such characters who are menaces
to society, where they belong, and
that's where they got the bogus lord
when he landed in jail.

HAS MUCH READY MONEY.
Cash Holdings Of Russell Sage Must
BE Enormous.


II is a common saying that Russell
Sage owns more ready cash than any
other man in America. Few people
know the reason. Conservative bank
ers estimate that he has loaned out on
collateral at most time cash TO the
extent OF s25.OO0.000. while In times
when rates are tempting he adds from
32.000.000 to 100000 TO this inter
est-drawing principle. His income on
this alone amounts to over 81 100000
per annum. His income from git
edged investments is at least as great
His one luxury Is team OF fast
horses. He pays $4,000 ground rent
for the real estate on which his Fifth
avenue house is built. and his annual
expenses outside OF that amount to
about $4,000. Il will readily be seen
that he is not likely to die poor Few
banks have more actual cash outstand
ing than mas Russell Sage. His total
fortune is out at sS0.000,00O.
The reason he holds few stocks OF
any kind is not hard to find. II lies
in the fact that he is one OF the very
few fnanciers in Wall street who does
not believe In the extension OF consoli-
dalton Of industries. He believes that
most Of the Industrial enterprises OF
the recent past are founded on I'M
sound business principles. He is one
of the few people who have refused
to become a member Of the Morgan
syndicate. He gave as his reason bis
belief that the pace was too fast and
that some one would be hurt.
Mr.. Sage says that he sold Missouri
Pacific last spring at i1s. The reason
he sold 1t was that he thought 1t was
too high. He bought his stock at 8,
90 he frankly confessed that he didn't
see any better thing to do with It at
lis than to sell It. So he sold. That
is one Of the reasons he is able to
lend out huge sums OF money. He
sells at boom times the stocks he buys

theatrical Notes.

II there was one disquieting n ote in
Mary Johnston's "Audrey''i was the
unhappy ending of the story, the muir.
der Of Audrey by Hugon. the half.
breed. When Harriet Ford and L. f.
Boddington undertook the work Of
dramatising Miss Johnston's novel
they pointed out to her that 1t would
DO a mistake to end the drama as the
book, tragedy. They pointed out to
Miss Johnston that the theatregoing
public objected 10 being sent away
from the playhouse with feelings akin
10 those who beses unhappy mortals
who have viewed the remains Of q
friend immured In q morgue. Il is
for this reason that the play has been
given q happy ending,a change which,
by the way, has been to the evident
satisfaction Of theater goers. In the
last act Harvard finds her at Colonel
Bryd's house and tells her his love.
In the moment Of her happiness comes
Hugon, intent on staying his rival.
Audrey discovers Huson and pretends
TO dismiss Harvard. The half breed
attempts the life Of Harvard and 10
oyerpowered, and soorning the white
mans iustice, kills himself, thus re-
moving the last cloud from the life Of
Audrey, who can now accept love
without fear. Audrey will come to

Johnson's Crime and Pardon.

The Fort Smith Elevator contains
the following with reference to the
crime and pardon of DR.. Lee John
son:
DR.. Johnson was convicted Of az
sault to rapet incest and carnally
knowing a female under sixteen years
of age, the victim of his lust being
his own daughter, girl of tender
years. He was tried by a jury and
found guilty of the first offense and
pleaded guilty to the latter two.
His offense was the most hideous in
the whole catergory of crime, and if
there is in his entire case circum
stance that admits of the least palli-
He was not at the time his pardon
was issued in had health, for DR..
Witt, the penitentiary physician, re-
fused to give his attorneys certifi-
cate showing that his health was
| bad. for the simple reason that it
was not bad.
The pardon of Johnson was an out
rage upon decency, and it was, issued
in direct violation of law The law
requires that certificates of applica-
ton for pardon must be filed with
the clerk of the court in which con
vlction was had. and that publication
of the intention to make the applica
ton must be made in some newspa
per- Neither of the requirements OF
tie law was complied with.
The circumstances connected will
this matter are remarkable. The par
/ don was issued July %, but Johnson
was not released from the peniten
tiary until the following Monday No
1ice Of it's issuance was filed with the
secretary of state at the time it was
made, but it did not reach the peni
tentiary officials until it came in &
letter from Johnsons attorneys an(
then accompanied by conditions
which rendered it void unless they
were complied with.
The letter reads as follows:

the certificate to me-
This statement of Mr.. Fuller's is
a falsehood pure and simply. | did
not refuse at any time to give him a
certificate showing, Johnsons actual
physical condition. and would have
done SO cheerfully at any time. But
he refused to accept this, saying:
"The certificate must show that his
health is failing and that he can not
live out his sentence. and that it is
necessary to pardon him in order t.
save his life
A certificate from me reciting the
above facts would have justified a
pardon, under section $500 of the dl-
gest, but | could not give it, as John
son was not seriously i'll. He wa

the penitentiary temporarily in the
hospital. suffering from an attack OF
hemorrhoids. from which, with a
slight operation. he was permanently
cured. There has never been time
since Johnson's confinement in the
penitentiary that the certificate asked
by Mr.. Fuller and required by thr
statute could have been made. Dur
ing the first three months after he
came he was in bad health, but since
that time his general health has been
good, considering his age and the
hospital records show that during the
last eighteen months he has been con-
fined there on three occasions, as fol
lows:
March IS to March 25. 1902, for
rheumatism.
May 80 to June 6. 1902, for malaria.
