WARM FIGHT DEVELOPS OVER
 THE VERNON DISPENSARY BILL
EXPERIENCE TO BE FACTOR
 IN APPOINTING CONSULS

Oyster Bay. N. Y, September An im- portant change of policy with respect to the making of appointments in the con sular service has been decided on by Pres- ident Roosevelt. He discussed the change today with Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis.
 For many years 1t has been almost the uniform practice of Presidents to appoint men to positions In the consular service substantially without reference to what ever previous experience they may have had. Naturally the President endeavor- ed always to select for appointment men of integrity and ability, but experience was not determining factor.
 President Roosevelt. after consultation with members of his cabinet has determ-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-05

ined to appoint hereafter to important places in the consular service men who already are in the service and have had that experience and training in minor positions which will render them the more capable of filling places of greater import ance.
 The change in policy does not extend the civil service to the consular service and 1t does not extend, necessarily, a consurs tenure of office at any particular place. but it is pointed out, 1t does give reasonable assurance to the manufactur- ing and commercial interests of the United States, that in comparatively brief time all important consular sit- nations will be filled, not only by men of character and ability, but by men who by training and experience are specially qualified to advance the trade interests of the United States.

COLONEL BROWN LUCKY.
WelI-known Railroad Man May in-
 herit a Big Fortune.

Washington. September 4.-(Special.)- Col. l.. S. Brown, general agent of the Southern railway. is receiving the con- gratulations of friends on the possibility that he will be one of the heirs of an im- mensely rich property that is hanging high in the air in Baltimore.
 Colonel Brown Is a descendent of Josiah Starr. who owned property in the heart of what is now the city of Bal tlmore more than one hundred years ago It is claimed by the attorneys rep resentlng the Starr heirs throughout the United States that Josiah Starr gave a 1O0-year lease on twenty-five acres of property right in the heart of Baltimore. and that this lease expired in 1897 or 1898. and that the property now reverts to the heirs

MAN KILLS WIFE.

Kingston, N. C.. September A sensa- tional tragedy occurred here this after noon when Emmett Boyett shot and killed his wife, Lena Boyett, on the porch of her fathers house, in the presence of her mother and younger sister. Boyett evil dently was under the influence of liquor, and the act was one of reconciliation.
 His father-in-law attempted to kill Boyett while on the way to Jail, but was held off at the point of the sheriff's re- volver

MUST TAKE HAND
 IN TURK TROUBLES
UNITED STATES MUST PROTECT MISSIONARIES AND DEMAND THE EAR OF THE PORTE WHEN CONVERTS ARE CONCERNED.

London, September 4.-The Morning Post publishes a letter from It's Constan- tinople correspondent in which he dis .cusses the Beirut affair and the position of the American missionaries in Asia Minor. He says
 Things have arrived at a crisis. The United States must either insist lon the porte listening to its representations re- garding American converts or drop the missionaries altogether. The latter course Is now naturally impossible and the sending of a squadron has great sig nificance as showing a determination on the part of America to take an active part in the Turkish question. One result of this step will probably be to induce the sultan to raise his representative at Washington to the rank of ambassador so that the United States can be equally represented here.
 At present America Is at a decided dis advantage in this respect compared with the other first class powers. Nobody can foresee the ultimate attitude of the Unit ed States, but 1t is almost certain that her weight will incline on the side of the Christian against the Turk. At the same time America is almost bound to oppose the descent of Rus ia on the Dardaaelies because in religious matters the Turk Is more tolerant than the Russian"

FRENCH SOLDIERS
 WOUND AMERICANS
GENERAL INDIGNATION AROUSED IN PEkIN AT INDIFFERENT POL ICY OF GERMAN AND FRENCH COMMANDERS.

Pekin, September 4.-Severe wounds in- fiicted on two Americans by French sol diers has created general indignation against the policy of German and French commanders in ordering their soldiers to carry side arms while off duty. All of the other foreign soldiers travel about un- armed.
 Witnesses of the affairs of yesterday declare that the French were clearly the aggressors. The French commander treats the matter lightly. but a strong request for the punishment of the guilty persons have been made by Captain Andrew Brewster, military attache of the Ameri- can legation.

PRIEST. SHARPER
 HAS DISAPPEARED
LABOR LEADER HAS BEEN MISS ING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THERE IS ALARM OVER HIS AR- SENCE.

Pittsburg Pa, September 1.-The Dis patch tomorrow will say:
 Theodore Shaffer. president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin workers Is missing. He has dropped out of sight and for several weeks neither fellow officials at the Pttsburg office nor the members of his family have been able to locate him.
 There is actual alarm at the office be- cause of his long absence.
 MT. Shaffer left Pttsburg presumably to attend the sheet conference at Cleve- land. He failed to arrive there. It was thought he would surely attend the im- portant meeting of the sheet men In Pitts burg on Monday last, but again he failed to appear.

The word "JoIly."

On the adoption of the word "jolly
into the English 1t had the meaning or
beautiful. as ii has among the French
today. The English dramatist Beau
mont of the sixteenth century speaks
OF our first mother as "the jolly Eve. ~
In time. however, 1t came to mean hi
larious. regardless of physical beauty.
But this latter meaning is probably
the right one after all, as the word
doubtless comes from Yule (Yu-le), the
pagan Christmas. so to speak, for be II
known that what we now observe as
Christmas day was heather holiday
called Yule, and the Yule festival was
one OF noisy demonstration.
Yule indeed means noise or outcry,
praising in loud voice, chanting, sing
ing, making outcry In honor of their
god. From yule, then, to jolly the step
is short and easy, both meaning reyel-
ny. rejoicing. Ours is a risen Lord
theirs the same. The words are ident-
cal. So, too, In large degree the Christ
mas jollities, praises and those of hea-
then Yule. Into such close relation do
simple words sometimes connect the
present with the past.

earnestly, "and please don't think l

A Chinese Joke.

Ia his book on "China and the Chi
nese" DR.. Giles gives a specimen of
Chinese humor which, If the source
were not known, might well be mis-
taken for American humor.
There is a Chinese story which tells
how a very stingy man took paltry
sum Of money to an artist-payment Is
always exacted in advance-and asked
him to paint his portrait. The artist at
once complied with the request, but
when the portrait was finished nothing
was visible save the back Of the Sit
ter's head.
what does this meanT cried the sit
ter Indignantly.
"Well," replied the artist, Il thought
n man who paid so little as you paid
wouldn't care to show his face"
