GIN FOR PERSONAL UsE."-Soon
after Senator Tillman's dispensary law
went into effect in South Carolina
the United States court decided that
liquors brought into the state for per-
sonal use could not be seized by the
constables. Naturally, every ship
ment was marked ''for personal use,"
and respecting the Federal authority,
the officers would not seize it. A few
days after the announcement of the
courts ruling, a machinery establish
ment in Charleston loaded a cotton gin
for the interior, and it went out on a
big truck. Five miles from the city
the truck broke down, and the cotton
machine was left on the road until
another team could be provided. Be-
fore it was moved a man drove by.
Taking a pasteboard box from his
buggy he tore off a wide strip and
wrote this inscription, leaving it on
the machine: This gin is for person
al use." It was not seized.

Crowded Audiences.
BY HARRY j. GREE

Crowded and most enthusiastic
audiences were present in the Great
Northern theatre yesterday afternoon
and evening at the first presentation
in this house of 1.-THE Chaperons" by
Frank Perley's comedians, among
whom Walter Jones as O'Shaughuessy,
Eva Tanquay as Phrosia, the fantastic
girl detective, and Mae Stebbins as
Jacquelin, the prima donna, seemed
to be prime favorites.
The many tuneful musical numbers
of the piece were warmly welcomed
by the auditors who braved the snow
storm to enjoy them, and most of
them were redeemed many times. The
same kindly reception was given to
the unique dancing speciality which
Miss Stebbins still retains, and she
was obliged to repeat it several times.
Albert Farrington's singing of
"We're All Good Fellows proved
another decided hit-in fact, it was
the whistling hit of the entertainment
and was whlstled and hummed by
hundreds as they left the house at the
end of the performance. The whole
company and its performance, the stag
ing, and costuming and all appoint
ments are kept up to and even above
the high standard of it's first presenta-
ton here a year ago, and the house
will assuredly be crowded throughout
the engagement. Chicago Chronicle.

BULGARIA IN PANIC.
Whole Country Observation-Disclosures
by Turks Eventually Expected.

Vienna, Oct. 25.-Two Bulgarian mis-
sionaries named Furnajieff and Popilf
are about to leave here for New York,
for the purpose of making tour of the
United States to raise funds for desti-
tute Macedonians. They are both grad
yates of American colleges, Furnajieff
of Princeton. and Popiff of Hamilton.
According to reliable private reports
the condition of internal affairs in Bull
garia is alarming. All the revolution
airy bands which were operating in
eastern Macedonia have returned to
Bulgaria. The streets of Sofia are
thrcnged with insurgents who beg for
food and shelter. 1t is feared that these
insurgents will create serious disturb
ances in the country before long unless
a decisive itnprov ement is effected in
| Macedonian affairs.
The Bulgarian government is said to
be demcbiliZing it's reserves with great
reluctance, and apprehensions are eX-
pressed in many quarters that the
Turks will take advantage of the situa-
ton and attack Bulgaria at about the
: time of the approaching elections when

obliged to send the reserves to their
homes.
