At st. Martinsville the widespread

Involuntary Bath Instead of Baptism.

New York. Three hundred negro
women and children dressed in their
Sunday best and singing gospel hymns
have been precipitated into three feet
of water and mud at low tide in New
York Bay at Bay onne, N. J. The pier

was about to baptize member of his
flock. Forty persons we're injured,
the majority, by the hysterical efforts
of their companions to escape from
what for the moment they thought was
death by drowning. But when the
ambulance surgeon looked over the
bruised ones he found only four who
needed attention. The rest, bedrag-
gled by mud and water, waded ashore
and the baptism was postponed.

Youths Turning to Crime.

The startling statement is made in
Minneapolis that Of the forty-one pris-
oners in the Herrepin county Jail.
not one is above twenty-tlree years
of age. The condition that brings
about this state of affairs is worth In
quiring into. A Hennepin county
5udge commenting upon the situa-
ton says that he believes the increase
Of crime among young men Is due
to their being forced out of many
sources OF employment by girls. The
one thing certain is the fact that
there are more young men occupying
cells in j>ils and pen;tentieries than
there were a few years ago, and It
behooves those r\'sone who interest
themselves In crtminology to inquire
into the conditions that have brought
about tais increase In the cri1a.1 Il

WAR NOW SEEMS
INEVITABLE.
Between Bulgaria and Turkey III the
Course of a Few Weeks.
MAY BE NO DECLARATION.
But Frontier Incident May Start the
Ball. Turkey Believed to be on the
eve of Catastrophe. Constantine.
pie Prisoners Held as Preventive.

Constantinople War between Bul-
garia and Turkey is now regarded as
inevitable. 1t is believed even that
the outbreak of hostiIities will occur
before the end of September, when
the reinforcements from Asia will have
been concentrated in Macedonia and
the villayet of Adrianople.
1t is not thought that there will be
any formal declaration of war, in view
of the Bulgarian vassal status. but
that some frontier incident will pre-
cipitate hostilities.
The Bulgarians and Macedonians
residing in Constantinople are in ter
ror of massacre. A large number of
them were arrested few days ago as
o preventive measure" and they
have not yet been released. The fear
of massacre is probably exaggerated,
though in view of the present excited
state Of Mussulman feeling an insight
6cant incident might perhaps lead to
a massacre.
The terrible accounts received re-
garding the conduct of the Turkish
troops have not surprised European
circles here, but many who have hith-
erto been optimistic in their views now
accept the prevailing belief that Tur-
key is on the eve of catastrophe.
A consular dispatch from Salonica
says that according to authentic infor-
nation, the ins1rrection in the dis.
trict OF Monastir has been practically
stamped out. Bashi- Bazouks assisted
the regular troops in the work Of re-
preston, which is said to have beer
carried out with sanguinary ruthless
ness, the object OF the Turks being
apparently to exterminate not only
the Bulgarian Inhabitants, but all thu
Christians of whatever nationality.
