Colonel vCn Si.-yn. Il Dutch artist OF
German extraction. ho,ding an ap-
pointmanr ut tie court Of the land
crave Of I!2SSp-CaSscl. was the in
vcntor Of nrZzotint. that branch OF
engraving which comes nearest to ma
ture. though it is far from being the
hest means of artistic expression.
1t dates from about 1911 and is said
to have been suggested by the rust on
a weapon which soldier was clean
ing. The first fruits Of this newly dis
covered process consisted of a picture
Of the landgravc's mother, the dow
ager landgravinc, which Sicgcn pre-
scented at court. stating that no copper
plate engravcr or artist could explain
or imagine how it was done.
Evelyn, in his "Sculptura,' 1902, at
tributes the invention to Prince Ru
pert. An original letter Of Siegen'S
still in existence proves this to b" al
error. for Siegen met Prince Rupert III
Brussels in 1904 and disclosed the proc
ess to him then and there, knowing
that the prince had already practiced
etching.
More than a hundred cngraverS in
mcZzotint did for the pictures Of Sl

Every woman should read, without
fail, the following paragraph. She
will learn something about herself she
never knew before.
Thompson's Barosma is not only a
wonderful kidney, liver and BLADDER
cure, but has a particular adVanta e
as remedy for Chronic Female Weah
ness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing
down sensations, Nervous Debility,
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Dropslcai
Swellings. It's culiar advantage lies
in the fact that it is both female reg
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb is situated back OF
and very close to the bladder. A Wo-
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes II 10 re-
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder. Hence a woman making this
grave mistake will find a sure remedy
in ThompsOn's Barosma, for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease OF the kidneys, liver and
bladder, Barosma will effect a perma-
nent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompsons Barosma Is the best wo,
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.

Because the secretary OF state
ship has ceased to be a fee office
that Is no reason that 1t has lost Its
importance or the responsibility
that Is now attached to 1t. 1t will
require as competent an incum'
bent and as honest an admintstra-
tor of the functions as before.
Owing to the changed conditions
In the abolition of the fee system,
while the ees will be diverted to
the treasury, where before the
secretary of state was entitled to
them, the next secretary of state
will have the handling OF a vast
Gum from this source, approximate
Ing So 600, 900 during his term,
with absolutely no check on the
office.
In the next four years 1t will be
the duty of the secretary of State,
as superintendent of public print
Ing and binding to pass on all bills
of this character, which In the total
will amount to a handsome sum.
The secretary of State Is also the
custodian of the States law books,
and the stationary contract for the
State Is also handled by him ex'
clusively. Besides all these duties,
he Is the secretary of the board OF
public works, must draw all their
orders and work out the details
of all the railroad assesm -nts. In
addition to these matters he also Is
required to pass on all applications
for charters. 1t Is readily seen from
these 1ecitements that the secre-
tary of state must be man of var
led ability, and known probity OF
character to fulfill the duties pre-
scribed, and the Democratic party
cannot be too careful In making a
choice for a candidate for this hon
orable and very important office.

Freedom.
A SONG OF FREEDOM.
Freedom spake to the Greeks of old
When the Persian hosts rolled on,
And their answer was stern Thermopylae
And the plains of Marathon
And Leonidas and his Spartan few
Still make us glow and thrill
And the very name of Salamis
Can move us strangely still.
Freedom spake to the fierce old Scots
When bid to bow the knee,
And their answer was Bruce and Bannock-
burn,
And fighting from sea to sea.
And still the name of Wallace wight
And the death he died that day
Breathe upon Scotland the sacred light
That never fades away.
Thus Freedom speaks to all and each,
And her touch is touch of fire,
And the brave still listen with head erect
Though she points to block and pyre,
And their answer is still the prisons gloom
And the battlefields red gore,
And the name they hear of Rebel
Fool!"
Which brave men ever bore.
What the Carolina dissenters might have
experienced but for their timely resist
ance to unlawful imposltlons may be
easily imagined from the experience Of
their London brethren, a little later. In

DELIVERED TO PRESIDENT.
Postmaster General Payne Submits
Bristow's Report - 1t Is
Lengthy Document.

Washington, Oct. 26.-PoStmaster
General Payne Saturday afternoon de-
livered to President Roosevelt the re-
port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow on the postal investi-
CATION. Postmaster General Payne>re
manned with the president only a few
minutes. AS he left the executive
offices he said to inquiries:
eyes, the Bristow report at last has
been placed in the hands of the pres
ident. Of course, we did not consider
it at this meeting, but probably later
in the day we shall take it up in part.
Attorney General Knox will be pres
ent when we consider it."
The report is very long. 1t contains
10000 words-about 80 columns in an
ordinary newspaper. In addition to
the report proper. there are 500 ex-
hibits, all of which are referred to in
the report. The average length Of the
exhibits is five typewriter pages, or
about 1000 words. The exhibits con-
tain, therefore, about 100000 words
Published in the form of the ordinary
government document, the exhibits
alone would make 1000 printed pages
No time has been fixed yet fer the
publication Of the report but it will be
given to the public as soon as prac-
ticable. President Roosevelt will go
over 1t very carefully, and when he
makes it public is likely to supplement
it with some comments of his own.

is the meal at noon. Some of the men
receive clay packs. The moist clay is
put on the parts of the body which are
diseased. The patients lie down in the
graves for couple of hours, a thin
covering of earth over them. About II
o'clock they get up and go down to the
river and wash off the clay. Then they
are ready for dinner About three
o'clock those patients who require it
receive clay packs again and lie down
in the graves for an hour or two. Sup
per is at six o'clock Then games are
played until bedtime. Most of the pa.
tients sleep out of doors on the grass
with blanket and mosquito hood over
them. The sleep you get out of doors
is different from that you get in bed.
That is dead sleep. Out Of doors, when
one wakes, one is wide awake all at
once When it rains in the course of the
night you can see every one taking up
his bed and making a bee line for his
tent"

POWERS SUBMIT THEIR PLAN
Proposed Settlement of Macedonian
Difficulties.
Most Important Principles of the
Scheme-OppOsition of the
Sultan Is Expected.

Constantinople, Oct. 26.-The scheme
of the powers for the amelioration of
affairs in Macedonia was submitted to
the porte Friday. 1t has for it's guild
ing principle control of and surveil-
lance over all branches of the admin
istration of the disturbed provinces by
Austria and Russia for a period of two
years. The proposals include the ap-
pointment of one Austrian and one
Russian assessor, to be attached to the
staff of Hilmi Pasha, the inspector
general, with corps of assistants, sec
retaries and interpreters, whose duties
will be to exercise control over ali the
acts of the provincial authorities. A
European general in the Turkish serv-
ice is to be appointed to command the
gendarmerie, and he will be assisted
by an adequate number of Russian and
Austrian officers acquainted with TIE
languages of the country, and, if nee
essary, by Austrian and Russian non
commissioned officers.
A couple of further important
proposals, which will be bitter
ly opposed by the sultan, pro-
vide for the establishment of COM
munal autonomy and the rectiication
of the present communal boundaries,
with the view to the better distribu-
ton of the various communities, and
the creation of spheres, Bulgarian, AL
bantam, Servian, ETC., that shall be
more homogeneous in nationality and
religion. Other points of the scheme
deal with the relief of refugees, the re-
building of villages, schools and
churches, the disarmament of the ir-
regular troops and the prohibition Of
the employment of Bashi-Bazouks
Opposition to the whole scheme is ex-
pected on the part of the porte, but
the Austrian and Russian ambassadors
demand the adoption of the plan with
the least possible delay.
1t is thought that some of the other
powers may object to the appointment
of exclusively Austrian and Russian
assessors and demand that the COM
mission of control be given a more in
ternational character.
