The following was taken from a
copy of the Democratic Wage Worker
August 90, 1899. No further comment
is necessary:
"When the Clown Talk" ceased pub
lication last March it was the intention
Of the publisher to increase the size Of
the paper, in order to keep in line with
the other papers in our city. 1t was
afterward learned that this would re-
quire an almost entire new outfit of
printing material, and the question
arose, Would it pay
by an arrangement with the pub
Usher of the Democratic Wage Work
er, " the "Town Talk" has been merged
with that paper, which will hereafter
be known as the Democratic Wage
Worker and Town Talk" At the time
of the suspension of Clown Talk, :"
there were a few subscribers who were
paid ahead for short period. To
those subscribers we will now send
this journal until such time as their
subscription to 'Town Talk" entities
them, hoping that at the end of that
time they will renew their subscrip-
tons to this journal. We shall also
send the paper for few weeks to all
who were our former patrons end ex-
pect them also to renew their subscrip-
tions at once.
''By this plan we do not intend to
force political paper upon the indie
pendent readers of clown Talk" but
with the intention of serving them
with good, live local newspaper. The
third page, or local department, will
be free from all politics, and it is our
desire to make it page that will be
welcomed in any and every family in
our city. The politics of the paper
will be presented by ADLER pens than
ours and will be distinct department
from that which we have been engaged
to conduct.
"Give the democratic Wage Work
err and Town Talk" careful perusal
and fair chance; then we are sure Of
securing and holding you as a sub
scriber."

Intense over the Alleged AtrocIty
and the Eject May Be Serious Bull
garian Press Assumes Bellicose
Tone and Urges the Mobilization Of
the Whole Fighting Force.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. THE for
eign Office here has received reliable
information that the Turks have de:
stroyed the town of Kastoria, thirty
six miles south of Monastir, and have
massacred the population.
The report of massacre at Kasto-
ria comes from sources admitting OF
little doubt, though the details are
lacking: 1t was received with the
gravsst concern by the officials here.
The population of Kastoria numbers
about 10000 persons and the massacre
of such number in one place, if the
report be true, exceeds anything
which has yet occurred in Macedonia.
At the present critical moment, when
popular feeling is intense, the effect
Of the report of such stupendous
slaughter may be most serious.
The press is assuming a bellicose
tone. The Dnevnik complains that
the governments partial mobilization
of three divisions is utterly made
quate and urges the immediate nobili-.
zation of the whole Bulgarian army,
pointing out that the experience ol.
other nations, France, the United
States and Austria, has proved that it
is always necessary to display strength
when dealing with Turkey. l.. a:
The paper advises the government
to act now, "at a favorable moment,
when the people of Europe are evinc-
ing encoura cement Of Bulgaria"
The government, while steadily pro-
ceeding with the partial mobilization
plans, is endeavoring to avoid un-
necessarily exciting the people and,
consequently has resolved not to
mobilize any part of the Sofia garri-
son. |s '.'g. - '4.E& .=l~' s.#

such Intervention to be barely long

The inquiry, 1t was assumed, rested
