Extent of the Revolutions

VILLAGERS FILE TO MOUNTAINS
Consular Dispatches Indicate Outbreak

Intended-Action of the Sultan of
Turkey Awaited With Considerable
ACKNOWLEDGMENT News.

Constantinople, Aug 6.-Delayed in
transmission.) News received here as
to the extent of the Bulgarian revolu-
tionary movement in the villayet OF
Monastir is conflicting. In the consul
ar dispatches from Monastir received
this morning the opinion is expressed
night earlier than it's chiefs intended
and before the bands were in readiness,
presumably. because the leaders were
disconnected by the active preventa-
tive measures adopted by the authors
ties.
Bulgarian inhabitants in number of
villages have fled to the mountains for
refuge. The railways have asked that
the troops guarding the lines be quad
ruped, but this would entail an en-
ployment of 10000 soldiers, and in view
of the impoverished treasury the gov
ernment will find it difficult to comply
with the request.
In spite of reports to the contrary,
1t is confidently believed in well-in-
formed quarters. the porte, in conform
ity with it's formal declarations, will
employ only regular troops to suppress
the insurrection, as 1t is well aware
how important it is for Turkey to avoid
excesses such as certainly would be
the outcome of employment of undls-
ciplined Albanians or other irregular
Soldiery.

A Foolhardy Practice.
DYING soldiers

For some years there has been a
tendency on the part Of people giving
or participating in public performan-
ces to run hazardous risks in order to
win the applause Of the populace, and
the risks are many and varied. tt ap-
pears that the spectacle Of q man
looping the loop" on a bicycle is no
longer sufficiently thrilling to suit the
crowd, and some new sensation inyoly-
ing peril human life is demanded. To
supply this deficiency young man in
indianapolis the other day tried to
make the circuit Of the loop on q pair
OF roller skates In!5 order to bring
his center of gravity close to the point
Of contact he had constructed a pair
OF skates weighing 100 pounds. But
even with this aid the chances were
infinitely against him, for by placing
the greatest weight at the base Of the
tall column presented by his frame he
lessened his opportunity for balancing.
So when he was making trip he lost
his poise when at the highest point of
the loop and fell to the ground, his
skull being crushed. He died shortly
afterward. There are many varieties
of this life risking performance now
on view, all Of which should be pro-
nounced illegal and prohibited. They
add nothing to the public knowledge,
aud the entertainment they afford Is
nerve sracking and productive OF an
abnormal taste of horrors,

FRIGHTENED NEGROES. ;s {.
TlypographicaI Error In an ALMANAC
Causeh CONSERVATION.

A Gainesville, Ga. dispatch SAYS
Rev. I'D. Loyejoy, colored, pastor
Of the ST. Paul Methodist Epitcopal
Church OF Gainesville, has the negroes
OF that city wrought up to a high
pitch OF excitement over. a sermon he
recently preached from Amos viii, 9.
The occasion Of the sermon was fur
nished by Typographical error In
Grier's Almanac of 1908.
In the November table OF the rising
and setting of the sun on the 25th
the astronomers calculate that the
sun will rise at 6:69 a. m. and set at
SO p. In. S. sl
Here is where the ''deviln proof
reader or printer comes In and makes
the error upon which the colored
clergyman's remarks are based. In
stead Of the printer settling in up OF
p. m he substituted figure l in
place of the figure s, and Rev. Love
joy In looking over the almanac sees
the error and comes to. the conclusion
that this is the day set apart. for the
ending Of all eartly things.
Therefore he takes his bible and
turning to Amos viii, 0, selects the
following scriptures for the text.
And 1t shall come to pass in that
day, saith the Lord, God, that 1 will
cause the sun to go down at. noon and
| will darkcn the earth In the clear
day."
With a voice trembling with ex-
element and his frame shaking with
apparent fear Rev. Lovejoy cited his
hearers to the scriptural quotations
and the typographical error in the
almanacs as proof positive tEat the
Judgment Day was near at hand and
would surely arrive att noon, Novem-
ber 25, next. Although there is one
hour and one minutes difference be.
tween the going down or the sun as
appears in the almanac and the scrip.
tural quotations this matters not to
either Rev. Loyejoy or his congrega.
tion-tiley both believe that the end
OF the world is scheduled for this par.
ticular day and time.
With the roar of the recent tornado
still ringing in their ears, Lovejoy
and his congregation are prepared to
believe that q similar or even worse
visitation may come at any day and
the error of the almanac furnishes
them with dates upon which they
can agree-and this time is the end
Ing Of tbe world upon which they
have decided. St. Paul Church was
destroyed in the recent storm and the
'creduility of this congregation now
knows no bounds. .;f3si.

veloped case Of the cotton fever
News from that island say that with.
In IL month tile cotton ginneries being
erected on the water front of San j Juan
will be ginning the most pretentious
and certainly the most significant
cotton crop Porto Rico has raised with.
in the past forty years. The output
will be at least 10, 200 bales OF some OF
the finest sea island cotton ever grown.
The best yields will exceed 1900
pound seed and fiber to the acre; and
of siXty-eight experimental plots all
will show a profit. Nothing but sea
island cotton has been planted, and
the tendency here is to encourage as
far as possible the growing Of that
grade only. Within year, it is con-
iidently expected, the cotton boom in
Porto Rico will be attracting wide
spread attention. And it is not i'm
probable that through such a boom
the reinvenatcd industry will suffer by
Il later reaction. The recent decision
Of President Roosevelt that 10000
acres of public lands in Porto Rico can
now be sold leads to the reasonably
supposition that Il part of this land,
which will doubtless be appraised at
from 81 to $40 an acre, will before
long, blossom with cotton. At least
that's talk in San Juan. The cotton
fever is in the air. at present no at
tempt will be made to grow short
staple cotton on the island.

A SAD CASE.
"A Physician wentto Aid a Man and
Found His Son.

Found His Son. 'g
The Atlanta Journal says: Hearing
that a man had been injured by a
Southern railway freight train at a
point between Johns street and North
avenue, Dr.. w. 0. Trammell, who Is
the proprietor of a drug store at 500
Marietta street, rushed to the scene
as rapidly as possible to render what
ever assistance might be in his power
to the comfort Of the dying man. AS
soon as DR.. Trammell reached the
scene he knelt beside the injured man
to ascertain the extent of his injuries,
and as he did this he gave scream Of
horror and tainted. The injured man
was his son, Alvin Trammell, who. in
few minutes was dead.
1t Is. thought that the car which
struck Trammell had been "kicked''
and was silently rolling along the
tracks in the direction Of Trammcll
when he attempted to cross, but sc
silently was it moving that he did not
hear 1t and started across the tracks
when he was struck. Henry Hunter,
a negro fireman, was the closest wit.
ness to the tragedy He said at the
coroner's inquest this morning that
he heard scream and turning saw a
body doubled up beneath the cars. He
Immediately flaggcd down the train.
Trammell was going in the direction
Of Marietta street and was crossing
the tracks at place where there Is no
regular path.
1t Is thought that Trammell was
returning TO his fathers drug store,
500 Marietta street, when he met his
death, for In the afternoon he had left
with number Of bills against en-
ployes of the railroad working in the
yards. TO make quick cut to
Marietta street is thought to be his
reason for crossing the track at the
point where he was killed. The right
side OF Irammell's face was struck by
the wheels Of the car. The wheels
also mashed his right leg between the
knee and ankle.
The body wasremoved directly from
the railroad tracks to the undertaking
parlors of II. NJ. Patterson, where it
was prepared for burial. Trammell
was about 20 years of age and was en-
ploycd in his fathers drug store. The
verdict rendered at the inquest Tues.
day morning, which was conducted at
Patterson's by Coroner Stamps, was
that Trammcl met his death by be-
ing struck by freight car. No blame
is attached to either the engineer OF
| fireman Of the train.
