WAR CLOUD
Why It Arises Over the Perplex-
 ing Macedonian Question.
Complication of Difficulties That Keeps Western Europe Constantly at the Boiling Point-Ruaaian
 and Austrian Interests.

In this country and in vest ern Europe people are some times puzzled to understand why it is that the Macedonian question occupies so large a place among the anxieties of the statesmen of the great powers, and why it should be generally assum- ed to involve the most serious dangers to European peace.
 On the surface no political question could be simpler or more exclusively local. Macedonia, like Greece, Rou- mania, Bulgaria, Servia, eastern Rou-
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-04-22

Honia were thrown into the melting-pot a struggle between Russia, and Austria would be inertia ble, and such a strug- gle would pro bbably drag the allies of bath powers into the fray Russia as the head of the Slav world, must insist either that Macedonia should be independent, or should form, with Bull garia, Servia and Montenegro, a great Balkanic confederation. Austria, on the other hand, with fler pred ominant Slav popu1a tion with her influence in Germany gone, with her outposts at Novi Bazar and her railways running to lSalonica, could never permit the erec- ton of such barrier to her eastern expansion .@..
 It is of vital interest to Austria that she should attach to herself the Slay population of Macedonia, for if once that province were to go the way of Bulgaria, the tsar would be practical aly master of the Balkans, and'would in- inevitably attach to himself in time the Czechs of Bohemia, the Ruthenes of Transylvania, and, perhaps, even the, Poles of Galicia. This would be the end of the Austrian empire.
 Such are the main clements of the Macedonian question. It follows that if European war is toTbe avoided the status quo must be maintained. This, does not, of course, mean that the pres- ent maladministration should be al- lowed to continue. What, however, is essential is that the status of Macedo- mia as Turkish province should not be radically changed.

Board of Warden and Burgesses Held
 Adjourned Meeting.

 The board of warden and burgesses held an adjourned meeting last even ing in the borough court room. It was the first meeting of the board that Junior Burgess Ranslow had occasion te occupy the chair, Warden Schaffer and Senior Burgess Smith both being absent The minutes of the last meet ing were read and accepted. Clerk BeardsIey reported that the newly ap- pointed garbage collector had not sign ed his contract. The board voted to instruct Warden Schaffer to sign the contract with Mir Schielgen. John B. Howellsof Rubber avenue appeared before the board and asked why his quarantine bill was nottapproved. MT Howell stated the conditions that ex- isted when scarlet fever was at his house. MT Howell's bill was only for nursing, and was for four weeks nursing at $11.70 per week, amounting to S46.S0. It was the sense of the meeting that the bill was a just one and Burgess Jackson made motion ordering the bill o. K'd. Burgess Westbrook knocked this in the head by amending the motion so as to read 'stlle matter to be continued for inves- Higation.' On motion of Burgess Ken ney the acting warden appointed a committee consisting of Burgesses Mills and Kenney to investigate all the quarantine bills Burgess Kenney refused to act, stating that he was a member of the finance committee. He was reminded that Burgess Mills was also a member of that committee. Bur gess Kenney still refused, however, and Burgess Westbrook was appoint ed. The board voted to pay Mrs An drews the sum of $15 for the right of running the Cole street sanitary sew CT across her land on Curtiss treet.

..pixinev Trees of India.

The divine" trees of India are com. monly freaks of nature; for instance, two trees of different species united by a kind of natural grating. There is a very good example at Colombo, in the IAland of Ceylon, where slender and graceful borassus palm can be seen growing out of the heart of the banyan, or Indian fig tree. \The trunks of these alien trees are so strongly joined that only violence can separate them, and it will not escape the attention of the reader that the aspiring palm is pro- tes:ted against the fury of the wind by the sturdy branches of the surround. in fig tree.-Chicago Post.

Even Working Girls Have Their Hair
Done by Hair Dressers.

Even the working girls either have a
hair dresser. who does her work for a
trif1e, or dress each others hair. The
second distinctive feature is the gay
scarf around the neck and thrown back
over the shoulder. This, according to
the station in life of the wearer. is of
silk or knitted or woven wooden. If the
woman is OF the peasant class, her skirts
are of coarse wooden or cotton gathered
thickly around the waist. which IS Of
6ood size. while her sister a rank or
two above contracts her waist in true
Partisan style. Peasant women have
the good sense to wear their skirts
short. but all other women sweep their
streets with their long trains Custom
requires nursemaids to copy their mis-
tresses in this respect. The nursemaids
usually wear broad ribbons. so long as
to barely escape contact with the dusty
sidewalk. Italian women seem to be
about all the street sweepers they have
in Florence. have seen beautiful
gowns sweeping the dusty street, not
even lifted at the crossings, and groups
of so-called ladies stand in muddy or
dusty places, seemingly with as little
consciousness or trailing gowns as an
American hostess in a reception gown
receiving her guests in her own draw
ing room.-Alice Hamilton Rich, in Les

This is doubtless the beginning of a
movement whereby many of the indie
pendent telephone companies Of the
west will be merged The independent
companies usually give excellent ser

comes to long distance lines they are
weak, because so many different COM

difficulty can be overcome

DANISH THECARD DECK.
Evangelist williams Almost Defends

Cards was the subject of the dis

tabernacle last night. When it was over

Mr.. Williams theory is evidently not

he would protect the weak one from the

protection he would abolish one of the
best recognized institutions of social
amusement, the card deck, along with d
dozen other half-bad things which be-

night was earnest but it could not

fair minded person.
He excused nothing in his talk and
the radical statements made as a pre-

using coarse language when dealing
with a coarse subject but he did not
