"Periostitis" is the new word which
everybody is looking up in the die
tionary. 1t is periostitis which the
doctors have said is the matter with
the Presidents wrist which was in
jured in friendly but strenuous bout
at single sticks with General Leonard
Wood. 1t isn't considered a very seri-
Gus matter, but it is causing a lot OF
inconvenience and anything which af-
fects the President is of vital concern
to the country. Periostitis, in this
case. is inflammation of the wrapping
of membrane lying between the
cartilaginous bones of the wrist and
the slight covering of flesh and skin
outside. Like all local inflammation
1t is dreaded by the physicians mainly
on account of the possibilities of what
may follow. Inflammation of any kind
may. if too long aggravated, result In
"sepsis" or blood poisoning of a more
or less severe type.

Forty years are a long time. Most
human beings and most organizations
die before their lives have spanned
that period. But the Maine Press As
ISOLATION, now in annual session in this
city, and for which Augusta has a
most cordial welcome. is at the close
of two score years of life and service,
and it can truthfully be said that it
was never more vigorous or more of a
force in our State than it is today.
The association is one of the oldest of
it's kind in the country, and in these
years it has accomplished a great work
for its members as individuals and for
Maine newspaperdom as whole. Its
business meetings in winter and it's eX-
cursions in summer it's receptions and
it's literary exercises, have all helped to
cement the friendship of the mem
bers, have elevated Journalism and
have made an organized and in
fiuential body out of what was former

that a deduction will be made should

used
With this sum taken off the amount
of the bids will come within the appro-
priatior.
The bid of the Pennsylvania Company
of $914 900 includes the laying of a con
crete floor over an iron foundation. A
deduction of s35. 900 will be made in the
event Of a wooden floor being decided
upon.
The proposition of the New York firm
is similar. Their deduction for the same
contingency totals so. 800

other is optional. but specifies a mora
elaborate structure.

A REVOLUTION IMMINENT
Leader of Russian Party Says Prince
Was Frightened by An
onymous Threats.

LONDON. July 25.-Much mystery
continues to be attached to Prince Fer
dinand's hasty departure from Bulgaria.
The explanation that the sole object o.
his trip is that he may visit his fathers
tomb is not generally believed. 1t is
asked, If this is SO. why has he taken
his two youngest children, aged four and
FIVE. from Bulgaria and left them in
HunggS?
Opinion in many quarters substantiatcs
the story sent Yesterday that Ferdinand
will try at Vienna TO obtain the sup
port of the powers, which would make
him more secure on his throne. The
Vienna correspondent of the "Chroni
Gle" today go so far as to say that II this
support is not forthcoming. Ferdinand
will never return to Bulgaria.
PARIS. July 25.-The Sofia correspond
ent of ''Patrie" wires an interview with
NJ. Zancov. president OF the Bulgarian
chamber and leader OF the Russian
party. Zancov says:
Owing to the discomfort in country
places, the crown is in imminent dan
ger. After the next elections a revolu-
tion will be proclaimed unless the liber-
ties OF the people are respected. The
truth regarding Prince Ferdinand's de.
parturess read in the signs of the times
