tainment that Waterbury has ever en-

titled 1.-THE Old South Is the Home
For Me-" which was originally pro-
duced at Manhattan Beach theater,

WILL CRUSH REVOLT
Turkish Government Intends
to Adopt Extreme Severity.
REBELS WILL RECEIVE NO MERCY.
Menacing Attitude OF Macedonians
and Armen1ans viii Cause Cruel
ReprisaIs the Part OF
the Sultan'S Troops.


CONSTANTINOPLB, Aug. 7.-Con-
sular advices from Monastir indicate
that the situation in Macedonia is con-
stantly growing worse.
A dispatch from Vienna says the
Macedonian central revolutionary COM
mtttee has fixed Aug. 81 as the date for
a general rising and that Boris Sara
foff, one of the leading Macedonian ag-
kators, has been appointed command
er of the revolutionary forces, with Al
exieR as his principal lieutenant
At meeting Of the ministers 1t has
been decided, therefore, to adopt meas
ures of extreme severity in order to
suppress the revolution. 1t is reported
that Albanian troops will be employed,
in which event massacres are almost
Inevitable. n H
The Bulgarian exarch was sum-
moned to the Yildiz palace and urged
to make final appeal to his flock to
deliver up their arms and thereby avoid
bloodshed.
The menacing attitude of the Kurds
in Armenia is causing increasing alarm
at Erzerum, Bitlis and Karput. It is
asserted In some quarters that the au-
thorities are secretly arning the Kurds
while endeavoring to convict the Arme-
mans of revolutionary intentions.
A circular note, 1t Is stated, has been
sent out to warn the European powers
of the Turkish governments intention
to crush the revolt. The note stated
that the situation was very serious,
and, although it did not mention Bull
garia, the document was regarded as q
menace to the, Bulgarian government.
The Macedonian committee in Sofia
has announced that revolution was
proclaimed on Sunday in the vilayet
of Monastir by the central revolution
airy committee and that the revolution
airy forces in all the districts began hos
tilities simultaneously. Telegraphic
communication with the vilayet has
been cut.

Benefit Of Our Busy Readers.
A. M. Tbbbetts, principal OF the
Newtown High school, yesterday ten
dered his resignation to THE NewtoWn
board of education TO take effect at
once Mr. Tibbetts announced that
he had accepted an offer to become
principal of the Wallingford High
school and he will go to that town at
the beginning of the school year in
September Mr. Tfbbetts has been In
Newtown only one year, but dn that
time he has become quite popular and
his work has been very satisfactory.
No effort was made yesterday to Sc
cure bail for Oliver T. Sherwood, de-
fauIting cashier of the Southport Ma
tional bank, who was held by Judge
Plat under bonds of $4,000 to appear
for trial at the next term of the Unit
ed States district court. 1t is said
that no effort would be made to secure
bail for the prisoner. This does not
mean that his family have deserted
him, but because of his alleged condi-
ton they prefer to have him In Jail,
as they will then have no reason to
he in doubt as to his whereabouts
when he is wanted for trial.
The condition Of Patrick Tucker,
the Litchield would-be suicide, was
greatly improved yesterday and Jailer
Leonard declared that he thought the
prisoner would yet surprise the doc
tors and recover. If. his condition
continues to improve the physicians
will insert a tube in his throat for
the purpose of giving him nourish-
ment. Officers are on the track of
James, better known as Shaver Nc
Cue, who is alleged to have been i'm
plicated with Tucker in the robbery
of aged Mrs Morse in Goshen. McCue
was seen in Norfolk, his former home,
yesterday. He is about % years old
and is of rowing disposition.

occasions she comes more closely in
contact with the girls.
One of these visits especially will
never be forgotten by the girls who
were there, or by a certain sarcastic
teacher. On that particular morning
there were several small and nervous
maidens sitting down near the plat
form where the Empress was seated,
and, all unknown to the teacher, who
was hearing the recitation, her majesty
was whispering the answers and en-
joying it immensely, while the girls
promptly gave them to the teachers
questions. Things went smoothly UNI
til one of the smallest girls stuck on
an answer. She looked at the EN-
press who whispered it to her, and
then confidently repeated 1t.
Who" demanded the teacher, turn
ing on her, could give such a stupid
answer"
The girls were convulsed with laugh
ter, but not so the unfortunate teacher
when the Empress, with her lady-fn-
waiting, hastily left, because she was
laughing so she could not remain in
the room.

John Tuttle in the ship The Angel
Gabriel. He settled in Dover, New
Hampshire. A Richard futile settled
in Boston. and William futile in New
Haven. jeremiah Tothill, who died
in 1705. was an alderman of New
York, one of the vestry of Trinity
Church. and possessed of a valuable
property in Pearl street.
The American Turtles have served
their country loyalty. Joel futile was
in the Connecticut Continental Regi-
ment. Lucius Tuttle was an ensign
on duty at Fishkill Oct. l, 1777 Tim
othy Tuttle served as a sergeant in
the Revolution, and Jedediah futile,
corporal, was at Ticonderoga.
The Turtles can boast a sober, tenn
perate lineage. No member of the
family is known to have been intern
perate. Among family traits and char
acteristics is the tendency of the hair
to grow gray at an early age. The
color of the eyes, so universal in the
family, is rather remarkable-gray
slightly dashed with hazel.
The coat Of arms of the Tothills of
Devonshire displays a lion PEASANT,
sable. The lion is the emblem of the
highest nobility. The Tothills, OF
Yorkshire, have a lion standant.

given to every family. Any member

Thoth pronounced Tot or Tote). Be-
sides being the son of Jupiter, he was
the founder of Egyptian civilization
and the inventor of music, letters,
commerce and reckoning of time. The
first month of the Egyptian year was
Thoth.
In ancient Britain, artificial mounds
or hills were dedicated to the god
Thoth or Teutates. AS a result hills
or uplands came to be called Totem
hill, or similar names-Tottington
Tottenham, Tutbury, Tothill or Tut
hill. AS families often took their
name from the places where they lived,
of course, in time there were Turtles.
The name can be spelled in half a
dozen ways-every one to his choice:
