Tangier, October 20-The Casa Blanca expedition has cost France half a mil lion deilars up to date for the land op- erations alone. Including the operation of the French fleet in Moorish waters, tine expense totals $s5,0OO per day. -
 SDain's refusal to join France in over stepping tie terms of the Algeciras con- vention, which has been accentuated by her aDandonment of the proposed com olnAl mission of the two nations envoys to Cultan Abdul Azlz at Rabat, has caused general satisfaction in Morocco The long fact of Ramadan is telling on the spirits of both tie Stu tans and the two armies, and real fighting before the end of the month is improbable
 In the meantime at Morocco City, Mulai Hafd's hands are full. Powerful factions there are clamoring for a holy war which Tangier knows would be folloy. His caid at Masagan has now seized the re- mainder of the munitions of war stored at that seaport. except the portion claimed by the British representatives as being the property of Gen. Sir Harry MacLean, who is still a prisoner in the hands of Raisuli SiXty-nine women, forming part of Sultan Abdel Aziz's harem at Fez, have arrived at Rabat, which suggests that the Sultan has not immediate ln- tention of moving against his brother and rival Mulai Hafiio.
 The hopes of the release of General MacLean seems to be as far from realiza- ton as ever No sooner do the British authorities accept the conditions than Raisuli demands something additional, and the impression is growing that the bandit chief is simply jeering at the towers.

Narrow Escape From Fire.

Athens, October 2Oe-(Speoial. )--Athens escaped by narrow margin this morn ing the most dangerous fire In her history. Tn a warehouse on the siding near the depot, where the county cotton weigher weighs the cotton sold here, containing nearly 700 bales of cotton, and which Is a wooden structure, was discovered hale of cotton on fire that had burned all night. Some negro boys were passing and smelled the smoke and gave the alarm. The doors were forced and 1t was not difficult to discover the burning cot ton. The bale was sitting near the door and this alone is perhaps what saved the day. It was quickly rolled out and hur- ried to the creek but it was nearly destroyed before it reached the water. A few hours or perhaps minutes longer and the entire building would have been de- stroyed with the cotton therein.

LAW OF LIBERTY WAS DR. STAGES THEME Is the Problem At Which God
 Is Working H E INFIRMlTlES OF MAN Every Law Is Testimony of Fact That Man Wants to Act Contrary to
 the aw-The World Is
 PoIiced
H E lNFIRMlTIES OF MAN

The Rev Dr. John W. Stagg preached at the First Presbyterian churcb Zester- day morning on "The Law of Diberty," taking his text from the 12th verse of the 2d chapter of JaJmes: "So speak ye, and so do as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.s Dr. Stagg spoke in part as follows:
 I suppose that if we were asked to state what is the most conspicuous in the way of attainment for this century in which we are living, the answer would be, that man more clearly appreciates today than ever before that .he is in a world ruled by law; that he is not on planet where things take place by chance. He might not be willing to follow always to the last analysis every conclusion that might follow from his admission, but nevertheless, men are learning that birds do not go through the air haphazard, and they are learning that things keep their place in this world, not because man has discovered some way of putting them down and making them stick, but that they keep their place by law;
 s"The very law that moulds a. tear
 And bids it trickle from it's source,
 That law preserves the earth a sphere And guides the planets in their course.
 That it is concerned with very little things. and likewise with very large things; that there is no thing in all the universe that is not under the dominion of the law, and that there is no man in all the world who is not under the dominion of law every moment of his existence
 What we have in the text Is a paradox. It is a paradox because man has so long thought that law did not have do- minion so universally as men are admit ting it now to have. When we use the word law" and put it on one side, and then take the term liberty" and put it on the other side, and speak of an indi- vidual living according to the law of liberty. we appear to make contradic- tion. If we take MT. Blackstone's defini- tion of law, which is "A rule of human conduct" and if we make definition of liberty" which ought to be satis- factory to everyone, viz: "When na- tire is able to act itself out in every particular fully without any interference whatsoever" In laying down these two definitions I have stated the problem of all ages; the problem at which God is working When man realizes that there Is no such thing as setting aside law, and realizes that if you push the human definition far enough back and get. the perfect rule of human conduct. you come to the saving of Jesus when he took the moral law and said Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind. with all thy soul, and with all thy strength and thy neighbor as myself, then he will realize also that this is the only perfect law of conduct.

HERE'S 4 WEIRD TALE.
Queer Brand Of Liquor Must BE Used
In Tennessee.

Walter Stephenson, while out train
ing q pair of bloodhouDds near the
Dikenan springs, was subjected to .
unique experience. says the Nashville
American. He was just finishing a
long chase with his dogs and sat
down on a log to rest, when he espied
upon the eastern horizon q speck,
which he took to be large kite. He
paid little attention to the object,
and shifted his gaze temporarily to
other scenes. Soon his attention was
attracted to a whirring noise, and
looking upward, he saw that the speck
which he had few moments before
discovered in the eastern sky had
approached almost directly over him,
and that the object was In reality q
huge balloon, but Of pattern and
appearance he had never in his life
before seen. He discovered that the
floating mass was rapidly approach
ing the earth. OF sudden, the OBJ
server says, strains of music calcu-
lated to charm the spheres burst from
the balloon, which circled round and
round and finally landed at Kideman
springs. A number of strange people
emerged from the car, which WAS
closesly curtainsd with substance
that fairly glistened m the sunshine
that temporarily burst through the OBJ
securing clouds, and all going to the
big, flowing spring, knelt by 1t in a
supplicating attitude and SO remained
for a minute or more. Mr.. Stephenson
says that while this was going on he
sat quietly within speaking distance,
and when the strange visitors arose
to their feet and he supposed their de-
votional exercises were over, he asked
IL he might be permitted to inquire
who they were, and what their mis-.
sion? He said that instantly . visard
was lifted by one of the company and
the benign face Of lady showed from
underneath and said in German:
"Haben sic Beten?" (did You pray?")
and instantly all were aboard, the air
ship rose, circled about for a minute
or more, and was gone m westerly
direction.
Mr.. Stephenson says that the inci-
dent left an impression upon him tha,
he can never forget, and while he knows
that 1t was some human invention
it looked and the music sounded more
like that of angels than OF mortals.

There was q hen which would have
tried the patience of any ordinary
farmer beyond the endurance limit,
but Mr.. Farlowe found good deal to
admire In her.
She's got ambition beyond any
other hen ever saw" he remarked
one day, as he followed the hens
hasty exit from the parlor. Stands to
reason there's something out of the
common in hen that'll start in to
