TURKEY REFUSES
To Allow Allied Powers to Administer
Macedonia's Finances.

Constantinople, Oct. 16.-The Turk
ish government has. 1t is reported upon
excellent authority, again refused to
accede to the demand of the allied pow
ers to permit them to administer tho
financial affairs of Macedonia. This Ia
the third refusal that the porte has
made, and 1t is feared here that q
naval demonstration will follow so
soon as the powers can agree upon q
plan for concerted action.
That this opinion pervails in official
circles is indicated by the activity ON
the Turkish vessels of war, all OF the
officers and men having been ordered
on duty. Just how far the government
will go in combating the wishes of the
great powers is a matter of conjecture,
but 1t is certain that the sultan will
not yield so long as there exists pos
sibility that he can outwit those who
are anxious to secure control of Mace
donia. Loyal Turks feel that, il the
demands that the finances Of the coun-
try be turned over for administration
to foreigners, 1t will be but question
of short time when all Turkish rule
will be ended there.

OF cUTIcLE.
Agreed to Furnish Some to Save
Wife of Brother EIk-Doctors
Took Too Much.

Spokane, Wash, Oct Is George A.
Lovejoy, a member of the order OF
Elks, who was selected to furnish cuti-
Gle to save a fellow Elks wife, Mrs.
Fred. B. Searles, who Is suffering from
severe burns, has brought suit against
c. p. Thomas for $4,000 as the value
of the 5O-inch patch which he says the
doctors peeled off the plaintiffs leg
while he was under chloroform.
Mr.. Lovejoy asserts that It was rep
resented to him that the surgeon would
take from his thighs only two or three
strips of cuticle, three or four inches
long, and three-fourths Of an inch
wide. After the operation Lovejoy
found that his legs between the knee
and hip were stripped, and that 1t was
ten days before he could leave his bed.

city, fugitive from justice and embes-
zler of more than 100000 from finan-

er Is known to have boarded train
at Little Falls, three miles from here.
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At New
ark he boarded train for the west,
arriving in San Diego, Cal, five days
later. There he is known to have met
several friends who informed him OF
the developments in New Jersey.
He had shaven his mustache and
otherwise attempted to disguise him.

Belcher passed several days at San
Diego and this fact assisted him in de.
feating an attempted capture at the
instigation of Governor Stokes and
Prosecutor Emley, when the ship on
which he had engaged passage as
"William H. Pitcher" was searched at
San Francisco and Honolulu.
When placed under arrest in San

authorities the man they had picked
out as Belcher was a San Diego bust
ness man on his way to Australia
The mans story was believed and Bel
cher, as he Is now known to have
been, once more escaped arrest.
This vessel arrived at Sidney, N
8. w., on Sept. I. Pitcher" who had
engaged passage to Sydney, remained
on board and left the vessel at Bris

home of his family. friend, Robertson

Harry Moore and Mayor Hays foist
him on Pittsburg, and why do they

they had to keep watchful eye on 1t

Wallace "did his Bit"
That was in 1897, considerable
time after the first Mckinley cam
paign, when, as Wallace says, the
throngs in Canton demanded liquor
on Sunday so insistently that he was
compelled to yield, along with 9th
er "hotelkeepers," and keep his bar
open on Sunday. AS Buck" remem-
bers 1t, he was merely supplying a
public necessity doing his share to
help along Mckinley and preserve
Canton's reputation for hospitality.
But he's "mixed In his dates" for
getful likely, just as he forgot the
workhouse term he served when he
was telling about his experiences In
Canton. Mckinley had been inaug-
urated long before the commission OF
the offense for which Wallace did

honest confession for the good of the
soul and quite another to, make a
bluff statement for the purpose OF
''taking the wind out Of somebody's

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

An occasion of unusual inter- est to a number of the ladies of Newport was the celebrating of the birthday of Mrs. Boyce, by her daughter, Mrs. Hobgood.
 The spacious parlors were filled with appreciative and interested friends, who expressed loving wishes of added years and use fitness to the honoree, who has already passed the limit of years usually allotted to human life.
 A devotional and literary pro- gram had been arranged, which was carried out, much to the en- tertainment and pleasure of all present.
 The announcement of the en- gagement of Mrs Boyce's son was made, as this day was also the birthday of the beloved and beautiful maiden who will soon, with her presence, add new de- lights to an already delightful home.
 Each of the ladies whose birthday was celebrated was pre- sented with a birthday book, and each guest had the privilege of writing his or her name on the page indicated by the date of their birth. The program ended, much enjoyed social half hour was spent. Elegant refresh ments were served by the fair hands of the young people pres ent and the company separated feeling that love and good cheer abounded for a space.

WESTERN LIFE COMPANIES
INCREASE IN BUSINESS.
Growth Has Been Nearly Thirty Per
Cent Since Opening of Year.

ST. Louis, July 26.-During the last
three months there has been a happy
realization TO the life insurance com.
panies Of the West that 1T is an i'll wind
that blows nobody good" According
TO statistics furnished by high officials
of Is of the leading companies in Ohio,
Michigan. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, and Missouri, there
has been an increase of nearly 30 percent
in the business OF these companies the
first six months of this year, as com
pared with the amount of business done
during the corresponding period year
ago.
Asked the reason for this increase, the
invariable answer has been that it was
largely due 10 the exposure Of the affairs
of the Equitable company, and the con
sequent prejudice aroused in many quar-
ters against companies which are sup
posed to be under Wall Street control.
Until these reports of the smaller com
panies of the West were made it is pop.
ularly supposed that there had been a
great slump in the life insurance busi.
ness in all parts Of the country. The ag-
itation in the newspapers and magazine
set people to thinking whether they
were wise or unwise in investing SC
much money in insurance as a provision
for their families in case of death
Naturally they compared the buying Of
policies and paying Of premiums with
the practice of putting savings in the
banks and with other forms of saving.
investments. For time it seemed that
life insurance was TO get black eye 40
a result of this study, but the facts in
dicate that the people still have str0ni
faith in this manner OF providing agaidAt
future want.
