imperial troops and a force of insur-
gents in the neighboring village of

As Viewed in Germany.
Berlin, May 1.-THE German govern
ment regards the Turko-Bulgarian sit
uation as being grave, but responsible
officials say that if collision can be
STAYED off through the summer, more
sober counsels can get a hearing in
the winter, when military action is i'm
possible
Regarding the mutual recrimination
of Turkey and Bulgaria in imputing
bellicose purposes, the officials here say
Turkey certainly cannot wish for war,
because she is unable to bear the ex-
pense, and knows beforehand that the
powers would not permit territorial ex-
pansion as result of victory. It is
also believed that Bulgaria, while show
ing a deplora bly, weak attitude towards
the revolutionary elements, does not
desire war.
The powers have made representa-
tions at Sofia. emphasizing the impos-
sibility of allowing Bulgaria to realize
the fundamentalaim of itspolicy name
ly. the acquisition of part of Macedonia.
The powers know that the partition of
Macedonia in favor of Bulgaria would
cause Greece. Servia and other coun-
tries to raise claims for Turkish terri
tory. Hence the powers are unitedly
determined not to permit any change
in the status quo. On the other hand,
the reforms in Macedonia, which have.
unfortunately. been suspended
through the outbreak of violence at Sa
lonica. must be carried out. and Aus
tria-H Hungary and Russia. which are i'm
mediately concerned. will see through
their consuls that they are carried
out.
1t is understood that the powers, in
their representation at Sofia, re-
preached the Bulgarian cabinet with
tionists, and pointed out the necessity
for a more energetic attitude.
In addition to the communications
made to the government at Sofia, the
powers have made representations at
Constantinople which have convinced
Turkey of the hopelessness of deriv-
ing any territorial or pecuniary advan-
tage from attacking Bulgaria.
Nevertheless, danger lies in the fact
that Turkish and Bulgarian troops are
facing each other on the frontier, and
in proximity to it. rendering a more or
less accidental collision possible, which
could easily grow into uncomfortable
dimensions. The situation, there fore,
is having a depressing effect on the
German bourses, and preventing any
operations on large scale.

General Payne Saturday dismissed
James Dover, fireman employed in

of charges that Dover recently filed
against Chief Engineer James O'Don-

motions and other matters existed in
the engine room, and that improper
contracts had been made. The charges
were investigated by post office in

tain them. The postmaster general an
nounced Saturday that the action of
Dover in making the frivolous and
scandalous charges, giving them pub

them, is to the detriment of the serv-

Law Restricting Railway Hours

Some good things come out of Indi-
ara, and one of them is the new law
prohibiting railways working their en-
ployees on the rail for more than six
teen consecutive hours. This legisia-
ton is not only humane in its provi-
sions, but 1t contains the largest meas
ure Of safety for the travelling public
and for the safety of freights. Under
the provisions of the statute the execu-
tive officials of all roads operating in
Indiana are obliged to plaeard the
shops and other buildings of the road
with notices to the operating officials OF
the existence of the law and prohibit
ing them continuing any employee in
work beyond the specified time. 1t is
not to be believed that the railways
would willingly overwork their men to
the point of breaking them down, for
good and trained railroaders are not
picked up in the market places, though
the; fact that the pay is often accord
ing to the mileage is an inducement
which some railroad men are unable to
resist.
Sixteen hours at stretch Is as much
If not more than any railroad man
ought to work. Eight hours of rest,
with less than eight hours of sleep, are
not more than sufficient for those who
have been on the rail, in the engine
cab or on top of freight for sixteen
hours. 1t is to be- hoped that Indiana
will enforce the new law and that
other states will profit by the ex-
ample set by the Hoosier common
wealth.

ssThe Curse Of Eve.o

In an interesting and ingenious paper
published in the North American Re
view under the title of 'The Curse of
Eve" Margaret Bisland essays to trace
what she terms "the decline of racial
stamina Of the American to the eman-
cipation Of woman from duties solely
domestic She summarizes the Stats
tics Of the decrease of the native Amer
lean race, recalling the prediction Of
Thomas jefferson that by 1875 the
population of the United States must
number no less than S0,000,O00, an esti-
mate based upon the reprOductivity OF
the native American at the beginning
of the last century and taking no ac-
count of the 100000 immigrants and
their children or of the 100000 ne
groes who are included in our last
census of 100000. From thia'fact
the writer leaps to the propositions that
this failure in natural increase sis due
to nothing more or less than the over
education and abnormal public activi-
ties so ardently encouraged among our
women since the close of the civil
war"
1t is claimed that the law of nature is
to deprive intellectually developed
woman of her fecundity," which can
only be preserved through domestic
shelter The origin of this discovery is
traced to the legend of Eden, whence
the race in Asia, checked in develop
ment and hurled back almost to saw
agery because Eve tasted the fruit OF
the tree of knowledge, learned to fear
"false ambition, calling woman away
from her appointed and primordial
task"
The writer traces this theory through
the rise and fall Of Roman civilization,
where the earlier matron was the life
of the hearth, awhose emancipation
marked degeneration. With the par
ticipation of women in the affairs of
the Roman forum came the period
when men were forced to seek heirs by
adoption, when ladies reckoned years
by divorces and when expresses left
only crimes for their memories.
The conclusion drawn by the writer
that if the United States should cease
to be nourished by Europe with the
warm bloom of her vast maternity"
our western race would fail because of
the constitutional fragility and conse-
quent vice. that destroyed the Roman
empire is perhaps too sweeping, but it
must be admitted, however reluctantly
we may wish to do it, that there exist
here two tendencies-the diminution Of
the family and the weakening of the
marriage tie-that bode no good to the
future of the republic. 1t is question
for the advanced woman to consider
whether, like the Roman empire. the
United States is becoming "defemin-

One Out of
Thousands

Here a man writes that he has after
years of suffering from catarrh OF the nose
and throat at last begun to experience the
delight of perfect freedom from colds and
throat trouble de states that he has been
treating himself by the Mackenzie
IN ethod" for two months and that he
hasn't the slightest doubt but that two
more will see him once again well man.
He says that no one who has not had his
head continually stopped up and his
throat most Of the time raw and sore, and
bearing gradually growing worse, can
appreciate the boon which this Macken-
zied treatment has been to him.
He is one out of the thousands who re-
turn similar testimony of the effective
ness of the .Method" And yet this
Method is simple, can be applied by
ones self in a few minutes each day. 1t
is not a salt water ,douche nor blood
purifier. Catarrh is germ disease and
it is necessary to destroy the germ
whether they be in the nose or the blood
or elsewhere before the cure is accom-
plished. 4 sarsaparilla removes merely
the waste matter from the blood; it is not
germicidal and therefore cannot cure ca
tarrh. A salt water douche or other
douche for the nasal passage cannot cure,
because the catarrhal inflammation in the
great majority of cases extends to the
minute capillary tubes back of the nose
which cannot be reached by douches..

of the Mackenzie treatment? Full in

PORTRAITS OF CATS.
Various Reasons why They Are Very
Difficult to Paint.

D1ncult ~
In speaking Of the putting of cats
On canvas a painter of them recently
said: "They are without doubt one of
the most difficult creatures to paint,
ind lamentably few artists make a
success of their portraiture. They are
almost impossible to keep quiet, and
the particular fluffy 'cattiness' of their
coats is far from easy to depict in pig
ments. The famous cat painters are
few, and when choice or chance dis
covers one he, or more often she, finds
the gift a mine of wealth.
I'm David Brooke's well known pic
ture of the darby preacher at dinner
in the Corcoran Art gallery in Wash
ington the cat in the foreground could
be induced to sit still only by having
her feet glued to the floor. But salts
factory results as to expression, in
which a cats face can be particularly
eloquent, are not to be secured in this
way Those who have had reason to
know say that even the fur of felines
Is indicative of several things In
health and contentment it stands out
huffilyfrom their bodies, while in fear
or displeasure it lies fiat and lankly to
the skin.
Not long since a picture was placed
on exhibition of a cat tapping milk,
with its tail held high. Though the
technique was good and the fur really
furry, the value of the whole was
practically nil, because 40 cat has ever
been known to eat with its tail in the
air. With waving tails they do indeed
rush toward the food, but with the
first lap or bite down goes the caudal
appendage lower and lower, until with
a full stomach it sweeps the ground.
In the case Of young kittens it is often
different, however. They scramble in
to a dish of milk with their pointed,
ratlike tails at right angles to their
rolly poly bodies and sometimes forget
to take down this sign of animation
and alertness Any one who knows
cats knows that the tail at every angle
and with every movement is expressive
of some definite emotion"
