IN LOVE WITH TEDDY.
Crazy Negress Says She Is Going
to Marry Him.

Mr.. Roosevelt's consistent policy of
metropolitan produces some results
which are serious and some that are
ludicrous in the extreme. One of The
latter variety, which in all probability
did not tend to heighten his pride,
was an occurrence in New York few
days ago in which Louisa Pick bett, a
negress, was arrested 10 the act of set
ting fire to her apartments. She was
evidently Gemented.
According to the slip containing the
woman's statement, given to the doc
tor at Bellevue hospital, she says she
is to be married shortly to President
Roosevelt, and that living with the
president in the white house will
change her color to white. She de-
clares she knew the president when he
was governor of New York, and that
he has the power of making her
white.
Possibly it will not be long before
Mr.. Roosevelt will begin TO receive
proposals of marriage from fema.e
members of the race with which he is
manifestly so much interested.

A Unique Gift From His Admirers
In Porto Rico.

Judge Z. B. Wilcox of the district

in accord with the sentiment quoted.
The cane will be presented to Justice
Harlan by Judge Wilcox in behalf of

VEGETABLE SHOES.
A Vegetarian Society Will Send to
London for Novel Footwear.

Members of the New York Vegeta-
rian society discussed with much en-
thusiasm at their meeting, held in the
Lockwood academy at 1873 South Ok
ford street, Brooklyn, the other even
ing, a plan to wear boots and shoes
made of vegetables, says the New York
Herald Those present were so much
In favor of the plan that it was decided
TO send to London and obtain speci-
mems of the vegetable footwear.
Opposition to the slaughter Of ami
mails for the use of their skins is one
of the principles of the society. About
200 persons were present, many OF
them women.
In describing the vegetable shoe for
winter wear one of the speakers said
that it was made of ''leatherine" and
was excellent protection against cold
weather He said that an attempt had
already been made to establish the
shoe in London, where, it is said. it has
become popular with some members Of
the vegetarian society in that city.
The vegetable shoe for summer, it
was explained, was composed of grass
and was remarkable for it's GOODNESS
and comfort. 1t is shaped like san
dial. The advantage of both the sum-
mer and winter vegetable footwear
was pointed out by enthusiastic men,
bers of the society.

PEARY'S NEW POLAR TRIP.
Another Attempt Upon Secrets of
Ice Bound North.

When Commander Robert E. Peary
returned from his latest polar expedi-
ton some months ago he declared that
the discovery of the north pole was
merely matter of the expenditure OF
two or three years of time and about
$250,000 of money. At the time he
gave it to be understood that his days
of pole hunting we're oyer; but should
he change his mind and be given the
sum named a. a working fund he had
every reason to believe he could reach
the objective point for which he had
struggled SO long. That he has chang
ed his mind and has found the money
were indicated IN the dispatches few
DAYS ago in the announcement that the
navy department had granted him a
leave of absence for three years dur
ing which time he would make still
another attempt upon the secrets OF
Inc Ice bound north.
While no definite announcement mas
yet been made on the subject or a.

he was of the recent trip'ot Command

will be some twelve or more wealthy

THE SITUATION APPALLING
ESTIMATED THAT $4,000 PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN SLAIN BY TURKS.
REFUGEES In Mountains and Forests Are
Dyinq of Starvation. May Extermi-
nate Entire Population.

A Sofa, Bulgaria, dispatch says all
reports from the vilayet Monastir
agree in describing the situation as
appalling. Between 10000 and $4,000
Bulgarian inhabitants are believed TO
have been msssacred by the Turks,
and every Bulgarian village IN the viii
ayet has been destroyed The refu-
gees IN the mountains and forests are
dying of starvation by thousands.
At present it il impossible to obtain
precise figures. The revolutionary
headq uarters estimate that 10000 Bull
garian men, women and children have
been killed, while at least the same
mum Der of refugees are perishing of
hunger.
In official circles these figures are
as an under estimate, and OF
hcials incline to the belief that the
mum Der massacred exceeds $4,000. The
Turks are apparently determined TO
the entire Bulgarian pop
ulation of the vilayet.

DIES OF HEART DISEASE
James Gault of Three Lakes, Found
Dead Near That Place Yester-
day Morning

James Gault, the seventeen
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
Gault of Three Lakes, was found
dead beside of the road between
Three Lakes and the mill yester-
day morning. The last person
who saw him alive was the night

conversed for few moments
about midnight. Gauld had been
out hunting during the afternoon
and spent some little time with
Parker at the mill during the eve
ing, leaving for home with his gun
about midnight. This was the
last seen OF him alive. The com
pany's bookkeer stumbled over
his gun the next moning while on
his way to work. Owing to the
fog he did not see body which
was lying few feet faom the
road beside of the fence. No
particular attention was paid to
the finding of the gun, it being
supposed at the time it had been
lost from some team. A short
time after the body was found by
by a farmer who was looking for
his COWS.
The authorities were notified
at once and an inquest was
called. DIR. Pinkerton ofthis city
was summoned to give medical
testimony. After hearing the evi
