Constantinople, May IA state OF
siege has been proclaimed at SaTonica
and extraordinary military precautions
have been ordered everywhere in the
empire, as it is anticipated that out.
RACES similar to those perpetrated
here yesterday may be attempted at
Constantinople and elsewhere.
The action of the Macedonian com.
mittee in directing attacks Cess foreign
property was evidently with the view
of provoking the intervention of the
powers. 1t is feared the outrages
may lead to massacres of Macedoni
ans and Bulgarians by Mussulmans,
who are in state of dangerous ex.

The Trusts Playing Out.

The trusts went UP like rockets.
They are coming down like rocket
sticks. The latest one to hit the
ground is the salt trust, which start
ed out with an. alleged capital sl2,-
000,000, and has landed on the earth
with S37 800. There are more in the
air headed the same way. 1t is stated
that since January Of this year
forty-four New Jersey trusts have
been placed in the hands of receivers
whose aggregate authorized" capital
was $50, ,340, 900, which managed to
get trusted by some body to. the ex-
tent OF $l7,572,333. 81, for the pay
ment Of which they are estimated"
to have assets OF 81 564, ,684, %. That
is just about enough to pay the re-
ceivers and lawyers for laying out the
corpses and burying them dccently.
incidentally, New Jerseys trust boom
has collapsed with the trusts which it
promoted, thr filling fees are rapidly
dwindling. and the inhabitants Of
that thrifty state are confronted with
the prospect Of being once more com
PEELED to pay taxes for the support Of
their own state government.

Advertising In the Church.

The wide-awake Methodist, and
progressive Presby yterians OF Wiscon-
sin, have reached the conclusion, as
the Chicago Record Herald expresses
1t, that Christianity must go into
the advertising business or it will
disappear.
This is probably an excited and ex-
travagant way Of stating the fact
that publicity is one of the agencies
which might be used by the Church
or Westinghouse to good advantage.
Presiding Elder John, of the Oshkosh
District, declared at q Methodist Con-
ference in Green Bay the other day.
that the Methodist Church must
adopt new Methods for attracting
people or conversions would cease, -
and Dr.. Sanderson, Presbyterian
minister, has offered "a prize for the
best plan suggested for advertising
the Church,
In commenting on the above The
News and Courier hits the nail square
on the head when it says There is
probably something in this view Of
the matter, but we doubt that the
ministers who spoke Upon the subject
fully appreciated what they we're
talking abolt. I is proper and neces-
sary, we should think, for churches in
large communities to advertise the
regular church services in the local
newspapers, but the public would not
have much confidence in the sort tf
Christianity which would go into the
advertising business" as a means Of
converting people to religious life.
There ought to be no bargain counter
methods in the Church. and W,
should not have much faith in &
Church which would seek the con
version of sinners in job lots, or in
any effort that Methodist presiding
elders and Presby yterian ministers
might make to do business by mark
ing down the price Of salvation. The
sort of advertising that the churches
need is not the methods employed by
progressive mercantile establishments
but the advertising which would
come 10 them by sincere efforts to up
lift humanity. What the ministers
ought to do is to make their work in
the pulpit and in the pastorate more
nearly approach the needs of the
people they are trying to serve. Sell
satlonal sermons rarely do any per-
manent good. The idea Of merchand-
ising the pulpit is very bad idea,

{ Col. Leonldas Williams Spratt died
recently In jacksonville in the 82th
year of his age. He was the last sur
viving Charleston delegate to the Sc
cession convention and amoung the
last surviving six to sign the declara-
tion Of secession. Through the
columns of The Southern Standard,
Of which he assumed editorial charge
in 1853, he strongly advocated seces=
sion of the South, and was sent to
Florida to persuade that State to cast
its lot with South Carolina. He was a
first cousin Of President James X.
Polk.

DAMAGE SUIT DROPPED. |
The Case Ngainst Harris and Morgan
Will he Stopped.

The following item; clipped from
the La Porte dnd. Daily Herald OF
Sept. 2Sth, will be Of interest to tho
readers of The Herald:
Norman Boyeson, son Of the late
jamie Stewart BoyeSen, whose death
at Asheville, N. c., as result Of In.
suits and indignities suffered at the
hands Of a DR.. Morgan Of Augusta,
Ga, and Landlord Harris OF the
White Stone Lithia Springs at Spar
tanburg, S. U, is. still fresh in the
minds Of the people, is a guest Of
John II. Wilk.
The announcement was authorized
Wednesday that all proceedings rela-
tive to the sad affair would be dropped,
the sons Of the deceased Indiana liter
airy woman and musician having no
desire to incur the notoriety that the
pushing Of the cases against the land
lord and the doctor would occasion.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Boyesen
started a $50, 900 damage suit in the
federal court at Charleston, S.. G. !,
shortly before her death, and of course
her passing away would necessitate
the filing Of a new complaint, In
which the sons would be the plaintiffs,
but after consulting friends and at
torneys it has been thought best to
drop the matter. They feel, as do
all who are conversant with the facts,
that there would be no trouble obtain
ing substantial damages from the
Southern landlord and the Georgia
doctor but the gain would not repay
them for the notoriety and trouble
which they would have. They feel
also that their mothers name has been
fully vindicated through the newspa-
pers and by right minded people and
SO the pushing OF the damage suits
will not be necessary N

Increased Death Rnte.

An increase in the death rate Of the
army from 1896 Thousand In 1901
to 1919 Thousand in 1902 is showr
In the annual report Of Surgeon
General O'Riley for the fiscal year
ending June 30. The increase is at.
tributcd to cholera, which caused
3.94 deaths q thousand. The report
commends the freedom from miscon.
duct among the insular scouts. The
spread Of vice in the white troops is
due to the loss Of the cantecns. The
white troops suffered less than the
negroes and Filipinos.

campaign. lie knew he did not have
one at the Galfncy meeting, where
Tillman and DeCamp had row. He
knew 1T because they roomed together
most of the time. He did not mean
to say that Tillman did not have a
pistol at some time.
Mr. Nelson again tried to bring out

door of the senate and, coming back,
asked witness: Where is Lieutenant
Governor Tillman?" He added in an
abrupt way: II mean your boss"
Witness replied he had no boss, and
the man went on to say that he sup
posed the lieutenant governor was
neglecting his duty as usual.
Witness did not know the man, but
Dick Holzenback told him the man
was Gonzales. Gonzales also, had
said he had made Tillman show the
white feather, and would do it again.
Witness told Tillman about it soon
after In the room of the president of
the senate.
On cross examination nc said Till
man had appointed him to the. posi-
tiOn. He had never seen Gonzales be-
fore. After Gonzales left he never
saw him again. When Gonzales ad-
dressed him it was on the morning OF
January II, 1902.
DESCRIBED THE SHOOTING.
Richard III. IIolzcnback was the
next witness. He testified that he
was in Columbia during the session of
1903 for the purpose Of getting posi-
tion. He stayed in Columbia from
the 18th to the 17th. He knew Con
zales by sight for two years. He said
that on January II Gonzales walked
up to the senate door and looked in.
Gonzales turned back and spoke to
Captain White, and witness proceeded
TO tell the same story as the previous
witness.
Witnesa told white who Gonzales
vas. Later on the same day witness
lold Tillman of the conversation.
-lolzenback went on to tell that he
vas walking behind Tlllman ano Sen
ators Brown and Talbird On the day
Of the homicide. He saw Gonzales
coming up the street. He could have
passed Tillman on the outside OF the
pavement without touching him.
Gonzales had his hands in his pockets
and started across the pavement.
Gonzales showed his right hand down
in his pocket, and witness expected
Gonzales to shoot. Tillmaniired.
Holzenback went to work to illus
trate the various positions taken, ris-
ing from the witness chair to illus
tratc his testimony. He was very
adept and had all the movements Of
the participants well studied out APP
parently. Mr.. Bcllinger objected and
witness proceeded to give his tcsti-
mony in the ordinary way.
On cross examination he said Con

and Tillman were conversing; he knew
neither Of them.
The next witness was Mr.. Cole T..
Blcase, and attorney for Tillmau and
a resident Of Newberry. lie told what
Official positions he had held. He said
he was with 1illman nearly every day
during the campaign, Of ! l9O2 FIe pro-
duced memorandum book, which he
said showed where he had been each
day Of the year. Referring to the
campaign meeting at Columbia, he
said he stopped at Wrights hotel as
the guest Of Col. John II. Sloan. lie
recalled the night DR.. T.. G. T..
Adams called at Tillman's room. Wit
ness said he was reading some of tho
editorials in The State newspaper to
Tillman at the latter'S request. lie
said 1t was done to put I'illman in q
position to reply to them in his
speech. Referring to DR.. Adams
testimony, he confirmed the latters
testimony to the effect that he would
accompany Tillman to thei Office OF
Gonzales.
lie differed as to Tillman's reply.
He said that Tillman replied to
Adams's propositions: THAT won't do;
IN be impeachcd as lieutenant gov
crnor. But boys, you needn't worry.
If Gonzales attempts to carry out his
threat, III snuff his life out with
1h!s, " Ii!imaii showing Il pistol. Wit.
ness gave another version or Tillman's
remark about the editorial. ''Mock
theatrlcals." s." Witness said Tillman
said: "If he (Gonzalcs) attempts to
carry out his threat, there will be the
God damnedest tragedy that evel
shocked South Carolina"
Witness said he knew Gonzales and
Tillman we're unfricndly. lie heard
Gonzales say once that he did not
want TO be In the same room with
