Don't your very being tingle
With desire that sets you thrilling,
Just to see the author grilling?

When this chap who does so tire men
Is making beautiful roast!

HONOR DANGEROUS ONE
AUSTRIAN WILL COMMAND FLEETS
 OF POWERS.
Nations Will Not Permit Franz Josef to Profit at Turkeys Ex- pense, as They In-
 tend to Do.

Vienna, Nov. 17.-speaking of the na- val demonstration against Turkey which combined fleet of the powers will make in the event of the Sultan's continued refusal to accept the ulti- matum of the powers on Macedonian reforms, a prominent diplomat said to the Associated Press today:
 'The giving to an Austrian Admiral (Admiral Ritter von Jedira) the com mand of the combined d fleet is q danger ous honor. because Austria is being jealously watched by the powers. who will not permit her to reap any of the benefits and nobody doubts that 1t is the ultimate intention. of the powers to secure moderate advantages at the ex- pense Of Turkey.
 Germany would never tor an instant permit Austrian aggrandizement. be- cause Italy in retaliation would take steps leading to the breaking up of the triple alliance and without the triple alliance Germany would be practically isolated in Europe. Germany and Italy are willing for Austria to bear the onus of the action against Turkey, but they are unanimous in the determination that she shall reap no reward. while Great Britaih would gladly look upon any action tending to weaken the triple alliance
 Turkey undoubtedly realizes the weakness of the proposed demonstra- tion, owing to the jealousies of the powers, and therefore she is likely to prove obdurate."

WOrkmen Issue Appeal to Soldiers and
 Sailors


 St. Petersburg. Nov. 17.-The work mems organization today addressed the following appeal to the soldiers and sailors:
 Comrades and Brothers-For a long time we have misunderstood each other. Your officers taught you to regard us as enemies of the Fatherland, and as criminals whom you should shoot, beat with your whips and butcher with your bayonets.
 Our struggle for the peoples free- dom and the peoples wellbeing has been depicted to you as a revolution against the Fatherland, which you are obliged to suppress. Many of you. believing this. have shot your own brothers, fill- ing the streets of our towns with blood
 "The case is now altered. The eyes of many of the soldiers and sailors have been opened. They understand that all of us are brothers and that we are sons of the same nation whose common ene- mics are your commanders and those in power. They understand that the lib- erty of the people is their own liberty and the good of the people their own good.

BULL FIGHT WAS BLOODY.
Sickening Spectacle in Arena at Cleo
 mad Jnruex.

Chicago, Nov. 17.--A dispatch to The Tribune from Fl Paso. Texas. says:
 At the bull fight at Cieonad Jeruez yesterday given for the American min ing convention, there was panic when Felix Robert, the French matador, who claims to be the only matador of that nationality. was tossed in the air and carried from the arena. bruised and bleeding.
 Later the same bull made run and plunged it's long sharp horns through Matador Francisco Alonzio Piquiro. tossing him into the air vrst and then dragging him about the ring, blood streaming from the wounds in the mans body.
 The spectators sickened at the sight and women fainted and screamed to be carried out. The arena was packed with Americans from every section of the United States. few of whom had ever seen a bull fight. and for time the situation was serious. Many men rushed from the sickening sight of hor- TOT. while the women in many instances were carried out unconscious.
 Order was finally restored, but most of the Americans left. deciding that they had seen enough of the Mexican and Spanish national sport. although this was only the second bull up for slaughter out of the four marked for the matador's sword.

Miss Roosevelt Presents Are Now Be- ing Appraised.

Miss Roosevelt Presents Are Now Be- ing Appraised.
 Washington, Nov. 17.-The examina- ton and appraisement of the presents | received by Miss Alice Roosevelt dur ing her visit to the Orient has begun The officials at the Georgetown custom house have begun to open up the twenty-seven boxes in which the pres- ents were shipped with other souve- mfrs of the visit which resulted in a social conquest of the Far East by the Presidents daughter
 The customs officials say thextask Is anything but an easy one, owing to the necessity laid on them to appraise the goods on their foreign commercial value, Only about one-third of the boxes have so far been opened and Collector Nyman and his staff are said to be somewhat surprised, as the val nation of their contents will exceed scarcely few thousand dollars.
 Although the presents have laid in the strong room in the basement of Georgetown postofllce building, in which the custom house is located, for three weeks, guarded day and night, there is no effort to get rid of them quickly When the President instructed that no special hurry was desired, and that they should take the regular course the officials devoted their attention to appraising the large amount of mer- chandise that already had arrived. They were unusually busy. owing to the importation of Christmas goods.
 As the work of appraising Miss Roosevelt's presents is being done along with the other work of the of flee, it is doubted If the last box will have been examined and the valuation fixed before next week. Miss Roose- welt. who is on a visit to relatives in Massachusetts, will probably be home in time to receive them at the White House. Some of the presents she has not yet seen.
