Result Of the shah's Reform Methods
in the Harem.


Paris, Jan. 26.-An amusing account
is given by French commercial trav.
eler who has just returned from Per.
sia, of the way in which the shah re.
formed" his harem on returning from
his recent trip to Europe.
The harem contained LOO women,
and out Of these after duly passing an
inspection several times, the shah
weeded out 1,6l0. Each of the dis.
charged ladies received e2CO.
About fifty Of them became the
wives of his majesty's officials, who
were commanded to marry them at
once These ladies had either been
favorites or had family influence.
Most of the other women soon found
husbands in their own districts, as 1t
is considered great honor to take
a wife from the royal harem.

THOUSANDS IN DISTRESS.
Peasants in North Sweden on the
VERGE Of Starvation.

Gellivare, North Sweden, Jan 26.-
Eight days in the heart Of famine.
stricken Sweden. across a desolate
frozen country, accessible only by
means of sledges, confirms the report
sent a week ago as to the critical con.
ditions that confront the peasants OF
these high ATTITUDES. In certain dis.
tricts King Oscars Arctic subjects are
in a state that borders on complete
destitution. The most pitiful condi-
tions existed at every point visited.
Only the most meager relief sup
plies, which have temporarily ceased
in certain districts, stand between the
peasants and starvation. Were the
relief resources to slacken for any
considerable number of days during
the next six months It is hard to con.
ceive how thousands Of human beings
and cattle could escape death from
hunger. Even now they are subsisting
on less than half the regulation rations
Of famine times.
This description of the situation is
based on personal inspection of typi
cal districts and is endorsed by govern.
ment officials, pastors. school teach
ers, innkeepers and others in hourly
contact with the wide spread misery
Such authorities vigorously condemn
the action Of the sawmill companies
in forcing the famine sufferers to
work for beggarly wages and then
propagating the fiction that their con.
dition has been grossly exaggerated.
At present the problem that is Civ,
ing the relief authorities most con
cern is the need for securing sufficient
seed grain-principally barley-in or
der to enable the ruined farmers tc
SOW new crops. Only small percent
age is required Six hundred thou
sand bushels are in sight. If there is
any American grain grown far enough
north to ripen in the Swedish high al
titudes the government will import IL

RUSSIA WARNS BULGARIANS
Dispatching Troops to Albania by
Sultan is Accepted as Evidence
of Turkeys Good Faith.

Paris, April 2-The French for
eign office has been officially advised
that the Sultan of Turkey has
ordered an advance of troops to the
scene of the recent outbreak in
Albania.
Advices also confirm the wounding
of the Russian consul at Mitrovitza.
The attacking party at Miltrovitza
number 1000 men representing the
opposition to the plan of reforms
which the powers jointly formulated
and which Turkey accepted.
The officials here consider that the
Albanian opposition to the reforms
creates a serious complication and
they accept the sultan's action in
dispatching the large reinforcements
to Albania as evidence of the Turk
ish governments determination t6
carry out the reform project.
Another official dispatch an
nounces that Russia has gwen Bull
garia definite and emphatic Motif
cation that in case the resistance o
the Bulgarian settlers in Turkey t.
the sultan's reforms brings on
Turkish bulgarian conflict, Bulgari
must not count on any support
moral or material from Russia.

Cruel Practice.

The small boys have begun the
practice of congregatlng in crowds
and going out into the woods and
bayous hereabouts In search of deer,
which are quite plentiful now and
easy to find. The boys arm them
selves with brickbats, rocks, sticks,
knives, nigger-shooters and all other
kinds of weapons they can get their
hands on, and when they happen to
see deer they creep up to itas close
as they think it is safe to go, then
they let go their missiles, and yell
Ing at the top of their voices, pelting
the poor animal and frightening it so
that it takes TO its heels and leaps
into the first ditch it comes to OF
enters the nearest piece of woods fol
shelter. This is no doubt great fun
for the boys, but it is cruel prac.
tice to torment these poor animals
in this manner, and if the 'Young
Americans do not desist from il

find themselves up before the justlc,

JUDGE oaITz.

The wrsxsr has had occasion TO visit
the counties Of Marion, Covington and
Pearl River within the past ten days.
Everywhere the name of the distin-
guished gentleman whose name APP
pears above is on the lips of every one
and praise and commentator is heard
from every source. The people know
him as if by intuition as his fame as
a soldier, citizen, patriot and states
man is as broad as the great common
wealth that he has so signally served
and gracefully honored while serving
in the capacity of senator and repre-
sentative. His democracy is of the
purest type and his ability second
to none. In all the great contests for
the good of the people he has ever
been found in the front ranks battling
in their interests. An ex-confederate
soldier he wears the marks of many
fierce contests in which he participated
while fighting for his country. As
lawyer he "born above his fellows
and stands prominent, both as an adj
vocate and jurist. His position IN
regard to the public schools and the
uniform system of text books is such
as to win the approval of all who have
children to educate. He knows and
condemns the iniquities of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, but seeing the impos-
sibility of getting rid of this outrage
at this time has both the wisdom and
foresight to Fsteer clear" of the sylla
and charieblin that would wreck our
systems of pubic school and entail
upon our people the degrading course
of mixed schools. The people will
never consent to send their children
to school with negroes-no sir.
Sooner than submit to such cOndl-
tion "our soil will be rebaptized with
new claim to the proud but mel
ancholy title of dark and bloody

! With such men as Judge Critz TO

tenant the people will have nothing
to fear but much to applaud. Boil
these men are interested in the state

the people with rounded periods O

Chittenden. Chief of United States Engi-
neers for the Missouri River. who returned
to-day from Kansas City. where he was
helping the food sufferers, says that the
flood has helped the movement for a con-
vention of Missouri River cities to bring
pressure on Congress not to abandon work
on the river. He says he thinks the con-
vention will soon be called by the Mayor of
Kansas City.
When Congress abolished the Missouri
River Commission at st. Louis over a year
ago and cut down the appropriation for
river work, it was thought that body had
concluded to give up trying TO tame the
refractory stream. Captain Chittenden saw
this tried and In his annual report to be is-
sued soon he will deal extensively with the
question of whether the river should be
abandoned.
and Kansas City for some time have ad-
vocated convention to obtain the united
influence OF the Congressman Of their ter
ritory in an attempt to induce Congress to
restore the work to its original magnitude.
Millions OF dollars have been expended in
building revetment on river fronts. which
have prevented untold property loss and
the clearing of the channel from snags has
made considerable river traffic above here.
