TO compensate himself for these attacks
the Turk has in the past waged merciless

throughout Macedonia. When winter drew

manded to be led against the Turks.
1t is in response to this universal calling
that the authorities have consented to take
up arms. 1t is only a match to start the
confiagration in the cockpit of Europe.
That that ma tch will be forthcoming those
who know the Balkans are sure.
The fears and ambitions of every Eu-
ropean power lies in the Balkan PENN
sula.
Three wars have been caused by the un-
settled condition in the Balkans In the
Crimea the British and French supported
the Turk against Russia; supported Mo-
hammedism against Christianity. In 1877
Russia conquered the Turk and gained an
indemnity from Turkey which has never
been paid. In 1897 the Turks defeated the
Grecian army.
The Turk regards the Macedonian Christ
ian as a dog. He regards every Christian
with contempt, but the Macedonian is his
particular adherence. All he wants is a
hint from the sultan to step in and exter-
inmate all Christians in the Balkans

that his own name would head the Demo

After the election Parker was proposed
by his friends for the presidency. There
was quick response from the South
Democrats down that way seemed to feel
that New York was the key to the situa.
ton and that with Parker to lead they
could carry the state. His name has since
been taken up in other sections.
The wisdom of saying nothing abides
with Judge Parker. Taking refuge in the
fact that he is on the bench he has kept
aloof from all discussions of his candidacy
He has refused to be interviewed because
he is on the bench, and he has refused
to make speeches or travel because he is on
the bench.
A silent man is always a wise one, and
so the judges boom grows.

WIDOWS NEVER REMARRY

Good society in Korea has many curious
customs. One of these is that widows
must not remarry. No widow in the
really smart set would ever dream OF
remarrying, however young she may he or
however soon the death OF her husband
may have followed her wedding. Married
life in Korea is by no means an unmixed
blessing to the woman, 80 perhaps per
petual widowhood might not be objec-
tionable If it were not for the necessity OF
perpetuolly wearing mourning for the de-
parted. This means that during the whole
OF her life she is limited to blue. black and
green as colors for her costumes. She
may not wear the smallest atom of red.
Therefore, it is rather odd that widows
should be known as "whiteskirted wo-
men" If this rule against the remarriage
of widows prevailed in America how diff
ferent it would be for the girls.

holds. He is fatalist and goes to death
with smile on his face He must be killed
before he stops. He may go hungry and
may never be paid, but he is nevertheless
a fighter from nature, and, fighting the
Macedonian, he fairly revels, because he
is fighting for religion.
The reason the sultan announces that he
will not invade Bulgaria, or go TO war
with this country, is simply because he de-
sires to appear before the powers as having
to resist invasion. He may, and probably
will instigate the war; and will be ready
to take the field with his entire force upon
moments notice, but he does not want
to pose as the aggressor
The position of Macedonia in the game
is selfish The desire is to get the two
others mixed up, because that will afford
a chance to jump in and attack the Turk.
1t is likely that when the war comes Rus
STA, Austria and Italy will find an excuse
for interfering. Russia wants CONSTANT
nople, and Austria wants Macedonia, and
Christian Europe wants to drive the un-
speakable Turk off the map.

Judge Parker is devoted to the law
and scientific farming. He has a place of
several hundred acres at Esopus. on the
west bank of the Hudson near Kingston
N. Y. His home is colonial mansion
situated on hill and overlooks the Hud-
son valley.
When court is not in session at ALBANY
the judge spends all his time at the farm.
1t is managed under his personal super
vision.
He is constantly engaged in the effort
to devise improved methods for ooaxing
greater harvests from the soil. He takes
pride in the fact that he secures larger
crops than his neighbors.
Days on the farm are followed by nights
in his library. He is fond of his books
and has a collection that rivals the great
library of Samuel j. Tilden.
Mrs. Parker is member of the Schoon
maker family, which figures among the
early Dutch settlers of the Hudson valley
They have one child, a daughter. who is
The judge is of middle height, wellbuilt
and well-dressed, amiable but dignifed. He
has become reserved, though, while this
presidential affair is on.
He even went to the extent this win
ter of declining an invitation to attend
dinner given by the Albany newspaper
men.
Judge Parker served as surrogate or
probate judge of Ulster county from 1877
to 1885, He was a delegate to the national
Democratic convention in 1884 In the
next year he was chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee and managed the
campaign that made Hill governor.
Cleveland offered him the place of first
assistant postmaster general, but he de-
cined. He was elected judge of the SUI
preme court in 1885, and held various
judicial positions until 1897, when he won
his present place in the court Of appeals.

presidency -Editor Times.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 26.-I
Judge Alton Brooks Parker is one of the
most talked of but least known of the
Democratic presidential candidates.
His chief claim to a place in the class
of eligibles is the fact that he is the only
Democrat who, in the last dozen years, has
carried New York.
In 1896 President Mckinley had
plurality of 26S46o in the state. In 1897
Parker, heading the Democratic ticket as
a candidate for judge of the court of APP
peals, which is the highest court in the
state, carried New York by 60SSg.
This change of over 100000 votes in ia
vor of the Democrats naturally attracted
national attention. It is the basis of the
Parker presidential boom, which was
placed under way two years ago.
Opponents of the Judge claim that he has
received undue credit for the victory of
1887 They say that the total vote cast
was, with one exception, the smallest in
20 years.
They aver that he was elected only be-
cause the name of his Republican oppon-
ent, Judge Wallace, was not placed on
the Citizens union tickets in New York
city.
There was a mayoralty fight on in the
metropolis in the fall of 97. Low was
nominated by the Citizens union. The
membership of the organization was com
posed mainly of Republicans They were
incensed at Senator Platt because, instead
of iudorsing Low, he had caused the nomi-
nation OF General Tracy for mayor.
To rebuke the senator for that action
and to confne the fight to the mayoralty,
the Citizens union refrained from placing
Wallace name on its ticket. Now it is
claimed that if Wallace had been on the
Citizens ballot he would have been elect
ed over Parker
In 1902 a number Of Hill men suggested
that Parker be made governor as a pre-
liminary 10 the presidential campaign.
Parker was willing. Hill. however gave
his support to Coler and the latter was
beaten
Hill was much criticised for not having
Endorsed the Parker movement, His action
in not doing so has never been explained.
The suspicion prevails that he had hopes
