NOW SELLS LIQUOR Woman Who Was Once a Famous Beauty and a Great Stage
 Favorto
IS NOW UNDER BONDS OF $loo

Taunton, Mass, Sept 10.-Once . famous beauty and stage favorite. and a friend of the late Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil, who paid her mark ed attention and lavished many jew els upon her, Mrs Emma Burke of Raynham, known widely a quarter of century ago as Miss Emma Lin den, is to be given a hearing in the Taunton district court next Satur- day on a charge of maintaining a liquor nuisance. She is under bonds of $100 pending the disposition of the case.
 She was born in Raynham and passed her girlhood there until her beauty attracted the attention of a theatrical manager, and as she proved to have some talent for the stage she was starred in various at fractions. She was presented to En- peror Dom Pedro in Brazil and re- mained on the stage for some time after returning from that country, but more recently conducted a large cafe in New York. After suffering business reverses, and with her health shattered, she returned to her old home in Raynham. Her husband, M. Balbrigga, who was at one time a magician of considerable note, died several years ago.

WILL SEE THE SULTAN.
Ambassador Leishman is Ready to
 Depart from Turkey.

Constantinople, Sept 10.-There is some probability that John G. A Leishman, the ambassador of the United States to Turkey. will be re- ceiyed in audience by the sultan dur. ing the present week for the purpose of handing in his credentials as am bassador.
 Mir Leishman has abstained from pressing for an early reception since the sultan was taken Ill, recognizing that the ambassadors. to whom audi ence had been promised before the breakdown of the sultan had prior ity of claim.
 The suggestion contained in a dis patch received from New York that the American squadron under Rear Admiral Brownson possibly would make demonstration in Turkish wa ters Is not taken seriously here. u is pointed out that the present relations between the United States and Tur- key do not justify any such action.

Loom Fixcrs To Meet.

Fall River. Mass. Sept 1o.--A meeting of New Bedford. Pawtucket and Fall River loom fixers is to be held next Saturday night, at which proposition to form an alliance of the loom fixers unions of the three cities will be considered. It Is be- lieved that such an alliance would prove of benefit to the unions in times of labor difficulties. The al- liance. 1t is said. will in no way con- ilict with the United Textile workers as that organization at its last con- yention sanctioned the organization of local unions into national associa- tions of the different crafts, provided each local was affiliated with the United Textile workers indepen- dently.

OLD-TIME COWBOY.
He Himself Acknowledges His Day
 Is Nearing Its End.

It is published in the west that the
 old-time cowboy has givene I'D the fight and acknowledged that his zone
 Is narrowing and his habits changing.
 What this means to the east only the
 publishers of the short story maga- zine can appreciate.
 It is not probable, however, that
 the old-time cowboy will be forced en-
 tirely out of service for many years
 to come. As long as imagination can
 paint him, an angular, ferocious .In-
 dividuaf, riding rearing, tearing
 broncho, and shooting the heavens
 and the street lamps full of holes, he will endure to delight the eye and fire
 the mind, and. as he has lately come
 to figure largely in the contemporary drama. his style Is guaranteed m ad- ditional means of perpetuation.
 The old-time cowboy has never been quite as picturesque as he has been painted. Tn his native country he Is of all grades and all sizes: his boots are high: he wears clanking spurs and frequently. though by no means generally, he carries a revolver. But aside from these marks of iden- tification he seldom shapes up to de- scription. He is an eminently prac- tical individual. and his manner is the antithesis of swaggering afYecta- tion.
 To take him from his horse and put him in the ''settin" room of even those ranch houses with which he is familiar Is to discover him to be awk- ward bashful and III at ease and when he dresses up on Sunday he is a pie ture of native gentility incased in straight jacket. Save that he is true son of the out-of-doors. and nev- CT comfortable in any other environ ment. the old-time cowboy Is much Ike other men.
 He still exists in many parts of the west, tholigil the rougher edges have been worn from his disposition and his mai:e up by the modern clviliza- ton that has crept into the smaller towns he visits periodically. The school teacher Is no longer the only attractive marriageable girl in the vicinity. and wherever the modern Nohtbu HtkitiS 'o there the sudden change in the ac- quirel habits and appearances of rough men become most marked.
 But without question there Is a foul measure of truth in the statenen. that the genuine cowboy has seen his best and his widest days. The great areas of the cattle country are being reclaimed by the scientific rancher. | The range Is being fenced. and each ] year the roaming herls are being l confined to narrower limits. Figur- ! ately speaking. the cowboy is being | tiesi down by barbed wire in . coun- ! try crossed by innumerable irrigating !. ilitches.
 His passing is inevitable. because he stands in the path of progress. and | t is regrettable because. taken either I is the ficfIonists paint him or ns he -cally was and Is. he is an interesting rugged wholesome creation of the l lays and the country of the empire builders.

RAGING AT MARBLEHEAD.
German Boat in Good Trim and Look.
 ting for Victory,

Marblehead, Mass Sept 1O-The con test for Roosevelt cup reached what might be called the semi-fnal stage to-day. with three yachts, the Am ericans, Vim and Aux, and the Ger. man boat Wannssee. still in the run. ming. The Vim had slight lead, with two victories to her credit to one each for the Aux and the Wannssee. Conditions early to-day, with tri. angular rnce scheduled, seemed to favor the Aux. A ten knot north east was blowing into the harbor when the yachts prepared for the days event. With the steady rise in the barometer. there was every pros pect that the yachts would have plen- ty of motive power during the day. There was considerable sea rolling in on the rocks and lodges at the en- trance to Marblehead harbor, which seemed to indicate some heavy storm far off shore. The rolls were long ones, yet ocean conditions resemblcd somewhat those of Saturday, when the Wannssee scored her first victory.
 Skipper Prot5Yls sof the wannssee, before going odt to his yacht this morning. said that be thought the Vim might win today, although he admitted that with an excellent breeze the Aux had a slightly better chance. He said the conditions on Saturday. with a very light wind and a long rolling sea, favored his boat, because she could take the seas cas- fer than any of the other yachts.
 A very small spectator fleet pre- pared this morning to follow the racers over the course.
 It was shortly after Q o'clock when the three racers left their moorings in the harbOr. The Vim and Wanns- see were under sail. hut the Aux was lowed ont All headed for Half Way rock. the starting point.
 The northeast breeze which had promised so well during the early part of the day. failed to hold and at 10 o'clock had fallen to about three or four miles an hour.
 The racing committee decided to send the yachts on a beat to wind ward for the first leg, compass course due east. The second leg was reach. The wind increased steadily after the committee tug reached the starting point at II o'clock and when the preparatory whistle was blown It was blowing F miles an hour. A heavy sea was running. Before the signal two reefs were taken in the Wannssee's mainsail. The crew of the Aux took one reef.

B,,ilding In Flames.

Siedlce, Sept l0.-Six buildings in the big bazaar of the city are now in flames, adding another terror to the Milling and plundering which has 6een going on here for the last thirty-six hours
 7 Frequent shots and occasional vol ley firing is still heard in various parts of the town, but because of the general panic 1t Is difficult to learn what. is transpiring.
 Apparently there have been thus far about sixty persons killed and 900 wounded.
 z Hundreds of Jews to-day are at the railroad station trying to get out of; town. but Siedlce is surrounded by troops who do not permit exit or entrance.
 pi Field guns occupy points of van- tage on the principal streets.
 Without doubt the terrorists are responsible for provoking the mas- sacre by their fusillades from roofs and windows on Saturday against soldiers and policemen. Troops sur rounded the houses from which this firing came and poured in vOlleys through windows and doors. This was followed by search of the premises. which soon developed into wholesale plundering and then into massacre and slaughter. The trouble began on Pienkna street and spread rapidly to large portion of the town. Aimost all the Jewish shops have been footed. Owners who de- tended their property were killed or wounded. Any person seen leaving a house or looking out of window was shot without mercy.
