OUR PATIENCE EXHAUSTED.
The Turkish Minister Told That Uncle
Sam Can't Stand Much More.
(Bv the Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. Secretary Hay
today bluntly told Chekib Bey, the
Turkish minister here, that the pa
tience of the American government is
well nigh exhausted. The minister
is expected to communicate this infor-
nation to his home government speed
lily. There appeared to be an impress
sion in the mind of the Turkish
statesman that because the President
of the United States could not make
war without the consent of Congress
he was thereby estopped from in
dulging in a naval demonstration to
forward his purpose to secure fair
for the Americans in Tur-
KEY. 1t is believed that on this point
also the Turkish charge was enlight-
ened by Secretary Hay.

to pay visit to the community, which
has the reputation of openly disregard
ing the Watts law without molestation
of the county authorities or the State
authorities, and see if the business OF
distilling liquor was being carried on
in disregard of the payment OF reVe-
nue. or the regulations laid down by
the Internal Revenue department. On
the site of a distillery run as gov
eminent distillery before the Watts
law went into operation, they seized
and destroyed q big steam blockade
500 gallons of beer,
copper still of 200 gallons capacity ben
ing among the articles. The owners
of the blockade outfit were absent.
The plant was up-to-date enough to
have an office and telephone con-

for steaming purposes, worth $500.

New York, Aug S.-The National

in session five hours today and upon

statement:
"At the meeting of the executive
committee of the National Committee

chairman Cowherd, of the Con-
greSsional committee, was in confer
ence with the executive committee
during the afternoon"
This epitome OF five hours work, au-
thorized by Chairman Sheehan does
not go into any details of the meeting,
and members of the committee were
also very rcticent, although the state
Inent was made that the session was
harmonious and the conclusions were
reached without 1iscord.
Every member of the committee
said that the existing differences be-
tween Patrick II. McCarren and
Charles +. Murphy in Greater New
York was not taken up.
An Interchange of Views.
There was a general interchange of
views concerning conditions in States
which the Democrats deem essential to
Democratic success. The general con-
Virginia, Indiana and Wisconsin were
discussed and men from these States
gave the committee such information
as they had.
Senator German was not at the
remaining in his room at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel but there were
frequent communications between the
executive committee and the Maryland
Senator. After adjournment Chair
man Sheehan had quite lengthy con-
ference with Senator German. AT the
solicitation of Mr.. Taggart ftodays
meeting was presided over by Chair
man Sheehan of the executive COM
mittee. Mr.. Taggart said after the
meeting that he was ex-officio chair
man of the committee and in his abb
sence MIR. Nicoll would be eX-officio
chairman. There had been some
doubt as to Mr.. Taggart's connection
with the executive committee, but the
meeting today seemed to recognize the
chairman, the vice chairman and the
secretary as members.

Once at least in Egypt the loss of his
eve in an earlier campaign proved a
great service TO Lord Wolseley and his
army. He could get no information of
the enemy's strength or position An
Arab was captured prowling around
our outposts and was brought before
him. 1t was ten to one the sullen fell
low knew everything. Lord Wolseley
questioned him. The fellow answered
never word. standing stolid between
the two soldiers. At last happy idea
struck the general. He said in Arabic:
ut is no use your refusing to answer
me. for l am wizard and at wish
can destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you | will take out my
eye, throw 1t up, catch it and put it
back in my head" And, to the horror
and amazement of the fellow, Lord
Wolseley took out his glass eye, threw
1t up. caught and replaced it. That
was enough, The Arab capitulated,
and the information he gave the staff
led to Arabi's defeat.-London Globe

The Camel Raid.

Camels In Somaliland are kept in
great herds sometimes numbering 3d.
900. Such numbers involve wide areas
for grazing and consequent distances
from the few places where water may
be found. The ponies used by the So
mali can also manage without drink for
three or four days and when employed
for herding have, like their masters,
only camels milk to quench their
thirst. These big herds offer, of course,
a tremendous temptation to the raider,
Jas many as 10000 camels being taken
at time, and the excitement of driv-
ing off such haul at full gallop for
forty or fifty miles, with the exasperat-
ed owner possibly hard in pursuit and
the chances of the raider finding his
own camp has fallen a prey to some
other tribal diversion, appeals irresist-
ibly to the excitable Somai.

WM@t women Once C0wkdmW W@aEp
While we may pick and choose and
do exactly as we please about our
clothes, there have been in times gone
by, in many countries and even In our
own, what were known as "sumptuary
laws" These laws regulated expendi-
ture for dress, for ornament, for food
or for whatever refreshments you
might give company when they came
to take tea.
Among the first of these sumptuary
laws was one made in Rome in 215 B..
G. and called the ''Oppian law" 1t tie
clared that no woman should possess
more than half an ounce of gold, wear
a dress of different colors or ride in Is
vehicle in the city or within a mile of
it except on occasions of public reli-
gious ceremonies. This law lasted only
twenty years.
Italy and France are the countries
where most of these laws have been
passed. and some of them read very
strangely In 1890. in Italy, no woman
was allowed to wear dress with fig
ures painted on it: she could only have
them embroidered. And in 134S, in the
same country. neither dark green nor
black dresses were allowed to be worn
in the morning.-St. Nicholas.

Promi.ing Governor Crane.

Howard Willetts of White Plains, N.
Y, has bought from Daniel w. Malo-
ney the fast two-year-old colt Governor
Crane, by Bingen, 2:06A, dam Nova
day, 2;14A.
Governor Crane is a solid bay of great
substance, although not large at the
age. His sire was, next to Arion,
2:10s4, the fastest two-year-old ever to
show In public, as his trial at Portland,
Me-, one afternoon in 2:121a demon
strated. Nowaday took a record of
pity early in life and lowered 1t to
2:14A, then was retired. The mating
of such sire and dam was indeed
happy one, and few could possibly find
a flaw in Governor Cranes makeup,
gait or aught else. He is trotter of
the good old fashioned sort and sticks
to it whenever brushed, seemingly
knowing no other gait.

speaking Of Grain.

In the. United States when one speaks
of corn" maize is always meant. In
England corn" is applied to all cere-
ais. especially wheat. In Scotland
corn" means oats. Germans use the
word in the same sense as the Eng
fish. Carlyle, being a Scotchman, in
writing of Frederick the Great allows
himself to refer frequently to Fred
erick's ''meal CARTS" when strictly
speaking, he should have said grain
carts" What the bread of Frederick's
soldiers was made of was wheat and
rye, not corn" in the restricted Scotch
sense. In Scotland "cornfield" is
only field of oats. Jameson remarks
that the term corn" in northern Eu-
rope is used to denote that species of
the grain most in use in any particular
region Hence in Sweden and Iceland
the term denotes barley.

There is fire Insurance company
in Baltimore that was saved from a
loss of $200,O00 because Of the slow
ness of one of its officers.
A foreign company had written big
amotlnt of insurance in Baltimore and,
as is usual in such cases, offered part
of the risk to various companies The
Baltimore company had chance to
take 100000 of the risk.
The policies were attractive from an
insurance standpoint, but the officer
who had to pass on the transaction
haggled about the rate. He always
does. He never closes the deal until he
has thought about it just as long as
suits him.
The amount in dispute between what
the foreign company wanted and the
Baltimore company was willing to pay
was less than 5000, but the slow man
wouldn't give way.
While the slow man was thinking
the thing over the fire started in Balti-
more, and the foreign company has to
pay the 100000 which the Baltimore
company would have lost had the slow
man not been so slow.

Inauencing a Decision.

An old treasury department official
tells how the late Judge Gray decided
one of the earliest customs classified
ton cases to come before the supreme
court of the United States. The article
under consideration was a preparation
of fish which had been assessed for
duty as sauce The inferior courts
had given conflicting opinions as to
whether it really was a sauce, and by
the time the issue reached the dignified
supreme court the decisions either way
were voluminous enough to confuse the
most clear headed jurist.
Judge Gray examined the article, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger, but
could not make up his mind. His col
leagues were equally undecided. When
things came to standstill it occurred
to Judge Gray that housewife would
probably be better qualified to decide a
matter of this kind He took a sample
of the article home to Mrs. Gray.
Nonsense; that's no sauce: it's fishv'
she said, and the next day the supreme
court of the United States solemnly de-
cided the article was not a sauce.

LABRADOR.


Many Great waterfalls.
Labrador externally is forbidding
and discouraging. She is not all moss
covered rock, however. From scenic
point of view she has something to
offer that will interest the world. I'm
fortunately it is possible to reach the
country by water during only four
months of the year. Dog sledges and
snowshoes are the medium of travel
the remainder of the year. There are
no roads.
The interior of Labrador has been
found to be tableland, about 1900 feet
above sea level, the foothills of which
reach down to the Atlantic coast.
Piercing these foothills at intervals
along the 760 miles Of coast line are
deep inlets, some of which resemble
Norwegian fiords. OF these perhaps
the most picturesque is Nachrach bay,
], 100 miles north Of St. Johns 1t is
mile or more wide and twenty miles
long. Great shouldering cliffs, more
than 1,5O0 feet high, jut out into the
water on either side, glistening cas-
cades tumble over their sides, and mys-
hfying sea caverns lure one to explore
them. Fifteen miles from the mouth il
a waterfall Of tremendous height Its
altitude has been variously estimated
at from 400 to 800 feet Tumbling over
the edge of the cliff in cascade, it
takes this great leap and then dashes
along on it's foamy way down several
hundred feet until it drops into the
bay. This is by no means the largest
waterfall in the country.-New York
Tribune.
