She entered a small, nicely furnished

said while she was selecting some mu-

"Oh, yes, quite NUMBER" he replied.

teeth on edge. Suppose we try this?"
The piece he placed upon the piano
was Beethoven's "Moon'igh Sorata. d"
Marions face lighted up, for it was one
of her favortes and she had played it
many times. He observed the look and
smiled. You are familiar with this?"
"Oh, yes" she answered, Il am very

They played it through, and when
they had finished it he praised her
warmly. at is such relief to hear

All the way home Marion thought of
the young musician. His frank, open
countenance, his fine eyes and, above
all, his exquisite playing haunted her
strangely She went each day to his
studio, and they both thoroughly enjoy
cd their music. He finally visited Mar

gether all the evening, much to the
pleasure of Mrs. Dudley. After that he
dropped in frequently and they spent
many pleasant evenings together. Little

her all his hopes and ambitions, and

DEFECTS OF MODERN PREACHING.

Jesus told the scribes and pharisccs
that they had made 1.-THE word of God

Very many of our religious teachers Of
to-day are doing the same thing. Mod
ern preaching lacks truth and power
The Bible is the most precious Of all
books. Its teaching that man is the
child of God and heir of heaven en-
mobiles human life and is the great basis
of virtue, happiness and high achieve

ALBANIAN REVOLT
RISING HAS CAUSED PANIC AMONG
CHRISTIANS.
Uprising Is Against the Enforce
ment OF the Reforms De manded
ments of Turkish Troops Have
Been Ordered to Snbdue Rioters.

Constantinople, April 3.-Details of
the disturbances in North Albania show
that the revolt which. has broken out
there against the reform scheme of the
powers is very serious one. Several
thousand armed Albanians surrounded
the town of Vucsteen March 30 and
demanded the surrender of eleven Ser
Wan gendarmes who had been enlisted
in accordance with the reform plans.
The governor surrendered the Servi-
ans, who were bound and taken to Pris-
tina after having been maitreated. A
number of the Servian inhabitants and
bands of Albanians later surrounded
Mitrovitsa, and serious fighting ensued
with the Turkish garrison, consisting
of 5000 troops. The fighting continued
until March 30, when the Albanians
were finally repulsed with great loss.
Heavy reinforcements have been or
dered from the villayet OF Aedin, Asia
Minor, and other places, to the scene
of the outbreak in order to suppress the
rebellion.
The Albanian rising has caused a
panic among the Christians, who are
fleeing towards Servia.
A panic has occurred at Prilep in con-
sequence Of the growing fanaticism Of
Albanians against the Christians. The
latter have closed their shops and
schools and are preparing to seek refuge
at Monastir. Numbers of Christians
have been murdered in the Prilep dis
trict during the last few days.
Considerable apprehension is felt at
the Russian embassy for the safety OF
the Russian consul at Mtrovitsa.
The outbreak has caused great I'M
preston at the palace. The sultan was
intensely exercised, and measures were
taken to watch two Albanian battalions
belonging to the imperial guard on du-
ty at the Yildiz Kiosk in order to pre-
vent disorder at the palace.
The rebellion in Macedonia is consid-
cred here to have begun already and
the situation is expected to become
worse. The Albanian movement is re-
garded as specially dangerous because
the sultan will hardly dare to suppress
it, he being surrounded by Albanian
guards. 1t is therefore thought that
tuc IclOIlIl pldu Will III q uCdu lSI-
ter in old Servia. The report is con-
tirmed that NJ. st. Cherbina, the Rus
sian consul at Mitrovitsa, was shot in
the back by Albanian soldiers. 1t is
estimated that there were 10000 AL
banians under arms, and general ris-
ing would be extremely serious.
1t is stated that the king OF Greece
has abandoned his intended visit to
the court at Copenhagen on account OF
the threatening situation in the Bal
kans.
The grand vizier has called on the
Russian ambassador to express regret
for attacks on NJ. st. Cherbina, the
Russian consul general at Mitrovitsa.
The palace and foreign officials also
conveyed their regrets to the ambassa-
DIR. The sultan's Albanian body
guard is iubilant over the attack on
Mitrovitsa.

CHURCH PROPERTY SHOULD Be TAXED.
BY Rev Madison c. Peters. d. D. OF BaItimo

The general theory of all just taxation is re
ciprocal service. Judge Cooley in his Law of
Taxation. says: THE protection of the govern
ment being the consideration for which taxes
are demanded all parties who receive or who
are entitled to that protection may be called
upon to render the equivalent.' 1t costs the
community something to enjoy the use of prop.

By the time the fluid reached Plain
Vile the entire river presented a
scene of wild revelry. Bass, salmon
and white perch rose to the surface of
the river and wed with each other IN
churning the water in plain sight OF
hundreds of sightseers. Entire shoals
rose from their usual tranquil depths
toward the surface, swan into shallow
water and many jumped up on dry
land, where they were caught by the
natives. An entire cart load of fish
was secured at the time and sent to
the nearest markets. An aged resi-
dent living near the scene of the orgy
recalled having seen a similar per-
Torrance once before, and the case
became serious enough to have the
State fish authorities forbid a further
pollution of the water, as it was
feared that this might seriously
affect the fish in more than just a
harmless spree.

The Old Circns Man,

Every one who ever saw a country
circus remembers the stout gentleman
with the high silk hat and the diamond
stud who was forever dashing about
the circus grounds in a top-buggy, says
Golfers Weekly. He belonged to a
type now almost extinct, and his title
has passed away In this day of spe-
cialists. He was not a manager or an
impresario or a theatrical magnate-
he was a Snowman" and his trade
was the ''shoW business" For nearly
half the year he followed the white
tents. Every morning he was up at
break Of day, harnessed his own horse,
had the tents pitched, the ring made,
and saw that the horses were groomed
and the cages cleaned for the morning
street parade. Incidentally, he usu-
ally had a Wrangle with the mayor
over the price he was to pay for the IL
cense, and quelled several riots be-
tween the town toughs and his own
tentmen. He knew their quarrels and
their love affairs, and he was of neces-
sfty mixed up in all Of them. If we
except the grand opera singers there
is no class so difficult to handle as cir
Gus people. They lead q life Of their
own apart from the rest of the world,
and it is a life ever full Of variety, ex-

TELLl@ STORIES
Peculiar Occupation of RGidcnts ofJew-
ish District ON Easta Side.

Peculiar Occupation of Residents of jew
ish District on East Side.
In New York there are at least three
people who earn their bread ans batter
by telling stories. TheSTfFe iP the
Jewish district in the teeming east side,
where they are known as marshalliks,
o. testers. Their services are espe-
eially in request in Hebrew circles
| when there is a birth, a marriage or a
confirmation at the synagogue. On
| such eventful occasions the teller Of
tales is all conspicuous by his pleas
antry and entertaining ability. He
takes what he can get in the way Of
remuneration, which varies according
to the wealth of his audience. On
some occasions he will manage to col
lect as much as S., and On others not
more than fifty cents for an hour or
more's entertaining.
The profession Of the marshallik is
threefold in character. He can tell a
first-rate story, sing q good song and
compose verses and put them to melody
to suit the particular festivity at which
he presents himself. Dancing, how
ever, is not one Of his accomplishments.
During a Hebrew marriage feast he
will enter on his own invitation. On
such occasions he is always welcome,
and will be asked by either the bride
or bridegroom to entertain the guests
present.
His favorite instrument may be a cor
net, harp or violin. Being a Jewish
audience he will play On his particular
instrument the weird old Hebrew mel
odies SO beloved by his co-religionists,
and conclude by adding some congrat-
ulatory rhymes and notices suitable
for the occasion; not a few of his often
clever sayings being created IN the
spur Of the moment. Story telling,
however, is his forte, and his allegor-
les are listened to with the greatest in
terest by the assembled guests. The
story he recites is usually of the fairy
tale nature-Of the traditional couple,
for instance, who welded under Orien-
tai skies and lived in peace and happi-
ness thereafter adding at the same
kAAAC SOAhC apt 1G1CAChSO w l1S ACN4J
married couple sitting before him, and
SO keep in touch with the sympathetic
side of his listeners.
When finished telling the story the
wandering entertainer proceeds to pass
around his hat, which soon becomes
weighty with the pennies, nickels and
dimes poured into it, every one in the
room contributing something. After
the collection the marshallik will in
variably be asked to tell another story,
or sing a song, and at its conclusion he
is sure of an invitation to share in the
wedding feast. Following the repast
he will give a farewell song, after
which he takes his leave and proceeds
to some other house in the neighbor-
hood where he knows a festivity of a
like nature is In progressively York
Times.
