fession to the county prosecutor, of

ample in explanation. Rose said he

use of the banks money began six

He said about three years ago,
when the loss had reached only $40.

pointed to go over the banks books.
Rose had hoped his shortage would be
discovered then. but at the end of a
week or so of investigation, the com
mittee reported everything satisfac-
tory with the banks affairs. Rose de-
clares he lived within his salary of
$125 a month and has not got a cent
of the money lost to the bank by his
speculation.
When the shortage had reached
$4,000 Rose said he knew he would
have to replace that sum, and seeing
no other way of doing II than by spec
ulating, he continued to do so until
the amount reached S1S7.000. His
mental state has been miserable ever
since his regulations began he said
and oftentimes he had been tempted
to commit suicide. but did not do SO
because of his wife and family.
All of the slS7,00O, Rose declares

trial and Imprisonment. he said. was
TO relieve his mind of the worry that
he had undergone; also he desires to
be sentenced and to serve his term

DEATH IN THE BOAT.
Novel Exposure Of UnscrupuIous Mar
ufacturers In London,

There is one exhibit at the shoe and
leather fair In the Agricultural hall
In London, England. from which dis
honest boot makers will not derive
either instruction or edificatlon. II Is
intended to show the general public
how they are sometimes deceived in
10 buying what in construction are
more like cardboard boxes than SEEM
ingly smart looking footwear.
Upon a stall In the balcony there
has been gathered collection of boots
which on being dlssected and robbed
Of their deceitful veneer we're found
to consist of anything but leather
They have soles Of cardboard. leather
board, strawboard, shavings mixed
with oil, strips Of wood, and brown
paper. One maker of exceptional
economy had used the lids of old boot
boxes. Even they were the worse for
wear.
MANY children owe their deaths to
cardboard boots, which soak up rain
like sponges," asserted the official in
charge. The trade-or rather the hon
est section of it's making an effort
to secure standard hall mark, the
wrongful use Of which would lead to
criminal proceedings.
The fair illustrates a branch OF the
industry wherein English manufacture
ers set an example not yet followed by
their American brethren. This is the
repairing Of boots by machinery. One
machine in charge of boy is capable
of putting new soles and heels on a
pair of boots in five minutes. Ameri-
can boot makers, 1t was stated, do not
encourage their customers to have their
old boots renovated; they prefer them
to buy new ones.-London Mail.

MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED.
outrages In Macedonia May Soon
Break Out Again.

The news from Macedonia grows
more threatening and it is not be-
lieved II Is possible to prevent a recur-
renee of the guerrilla fighting, which
lasted all through last summer. Mem
bers of the Macedonian committee at
Vienna declare that the alleged re-
forms introduced by Turkey in COM
pliance with the mandates of Russia
and Austria would be farcical, but for
the strong element of tragedy In the
situation. There has been no amel-
ioration of the condition of the Mace
donian Christians. They are subject
ed to outrage and oppression, they say.
in the remoter villages and communl-
ties and no attention Is paid to their
complaints. The revolutionary lead
ers are getting everything in shape for
a concerted movement. which will ex-
tend from the Adriatlc to the Black
sea. and they will carry on such a
warfare If their plans are. carried out
as will force European intervention.
The Austrian government is worried
over the situation. If Russia is en-
gagged in war with Japan II Is hardly
probable that she will undertake any
movement to coerce Turkey by force,
and 1t Is feared in the event of war in
the far east, Turkey will take advan-
tage of the situation to cease making
any pretense of reform and will un-
dertake to give Macedonia such a les
son in her own way as will break the
revolutionary spirit for a generation

THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Fire Completely Destroys a Fishing

The fire which swept over Aales-

The panic among the 1000 inhabi-
tants was so great after the outbreak
of the flames that all attempts at
leadership or discipline became out OF
the question. The people first en-
deavored to save some of their prop
erty, but they soon found they had
quite enough to do to save their own
lives.
Tho destruction of the town was
complete. More than 90 steam fish
ing boats and many sailing smacks
were sunk in the harbor in order to
save them from the flames. II Is be-
lieved now tlst only three persons
lost their lives. Relief committees
have been formed and have invited
public subscriptions. The King and
Queen of Sweden and Norway have
contributed $1,000 to relief fund. and
all the other members of the royal
family have also subscribed.
A majority of the inhabitants of the
town lost everything they possessed
and thousands had to spend the night
in the open fields, where they were
without food and exposed to bitterly
cold wind and driving ralnstorm.
