Bulgaria May Spoil it All.
Sofia, Oct. ia disagreeable i'm
preston has been produced in diplo-
matte circles by circular note is
sued today from the Bulgarian min
istry of justice which orders that in
future the subjects of foreign powers
in Bulgaria shall be treated on the
same basis as the natives; in other
words, they are no longer to enjoy
the intermediation Of their consuls.
The circular sets forth that the
declaration of independence annulled
the so-called stipulations which ex
empted foreigners from the jurisdtc-
ton Of the local courts. The diplomat
ic representative of one of the great
powers today described the issue of
these circulars as a high handed
action" which the powers will vigor-
ria to extricate herself from treaty
obligations in ways that are not pop
ular, he added, will lead the powers
to insist upon retention of "capitula-
ton for a definite period as one of
the conditions of recognition of Bull
garian independence.
British Sailors Called Home.
London, Oct. 15.-AIl the men of

this has not yet been escertained the
order caused considerable excitement.
Trouble in Korea.
Seoul, Korea, Oct. 15.-Serious
complications affecting the peace of
China and Japan it is thought will
result from an engagement between
Chinese and Japanese troops in nor
thern Korea, in which a number were
killed and wounded. The refusal of
the Chinese war Office to permit pur-
suit Of the detachment of soldiers
who are said to have been the ag-
gressors may result in crossing the
frontier by Japanese troops. The Chi
nese soldiers are reported to have
opened hosttlities by firing upon the
police station occupied by Japanese
troops who had been sent to guard
the Korean residents at Kantno. The
fighting which followed lasted sever
al hours. The japanese foreign Office
has made report to the Pekin govern
ment, and the situation is beginning
to assume a serious aspect.

Charles Rutledge. OF Muskegon, who
stabbed George Mitchell to death on
the evening of September 8. was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree by jury which had deliberat-
ed for more than twelve hours. The
members of the jury were divided as
TO the degree of the crime, several
members holding out for first degree.
The stabbing was the result of
drunken quarrel over a woman, Dollie
King.
Rutledge exhibited no emotion when
the verdict was announced, but his
aged mother, Mrs. John Jennings, who
had stood Loyalty by her son all
through the trial, and who mortgaged
her little home in Montague to pro-
vide funds for his defense, broke down
and sobbed bitterly. Rutledge desert
ed a wife and four children for the
King woman. After the stabbing he
fed to Chicago and was captured by
Muskegon officers, with the assistance
of Dollie King, who lured him into a
trap.

Use Only Ink to Initial Ballots.

Those who have anything to do with
elections generally. regret that the
supreme court did not decide the i'm.
portant question submitted to 1t dur.
ing the recount proceedings, which
was whether the provision of the cleo
ton law requiring that ballots shall
be initiated in ink is mandatory or
merely directory. The withdrawal of
the petitions for recounting the votes
cast at the primary election rendered
1t unnecessary, for the purpose of set
Ting the governorship contest, TO de-
eide the question, but the general
election is coming on and the point
having been raised, it is likely to be.
come the basis for election contests
after the November election, as it is
notorious that a large per cent. of
the inspectors pay no attention TO the
law but use lead pencils in marking
ballots with their initials. 1t is re.
ported that the court was divided on
the question, but that a majority OF
the justices had agreed that the law
is mandatory and that all ballots must
be initiated in ink.

Husband and Wife.

No man yet was ever made more
tender by having tenderness demanded
of him; no man yet was ever cried
into loving his wife more. / am will
ing TO admit that men are as faulty
creatures as women themselves. IN
sympathetic in small things, often
blind, and that they may easily be ex-
asperated into small brutalities OF
speech. If woman refrains from ex-
acting devotion, and is unswervingly
kind and unselfish, husband who has
any affection for his wife at all can be
left to look out for doing his share. He
will look out for it anyway; no one
else can make him. Neither tears nor
entreaties will wiring from him those
small kindnesses and attentions so
dear to women.-A Wife, in Harper's
RaZar

Friend Of the Farmers Wife.

The farmers wife will now feel that
there is one man in the country who
understands her position and be the
highest in authority. Farmers wives
grow old before their time and farm
ers' daughters cannot help noticing 1t
and dreading 10 follow in their moth
ers' footsteps. IF you have to drop
some one, drop one hired hand rather
than the hired girl" said the presi-
dent. The advice is good, but the
trouble is to get the one hired girl in
the first place. The distaste of domes-
tics for country life, and especially
life on the farm, has greatly intensi-
fed rural problems, and that as much
az anything has helped to depopulate
the rural sections. The housewife of
to-day, remarks the Boston Transcript,
is thus in worse plight than she was
40 years ago. We believe this is a
transition period and that remedy
will be found, though as yet II is not
plainly In sight. Leisure, recreation,
social intercourse are the right and
the need of country mothers and
daughters, and not until some way of
securing these in reasonable measure
is found will the farm problem be
solved.

The victims of leprosy are now the
only physical detectives who are
treated still as they were in the medi-
eval times. They inspire an almost
superstitious terror in the clean Of
flesh. More scientific study is re-
quired and a more humane method Of
dealing with the sufferers. There can
be no doubt that leprosy is much COM
moner than is generally supposed, for
its period of incubation is unusually
long, and it often fails to announce
itself definitely for years. Until ade-
quate provision is made for the vic
Tins, however, declares the Chicago
Record-Herald, they will continue to
spread the plague among their neigh.
bors. State governments have been
slow to make the necessary provisions
for their comfort. The federal authori.
ties would seem to be in a better po-
sition to deal with the situation.

Lead of Warner Is Set at 1879.

Counting the ballots marked In
pencil with the initials of inspectors,
Gov. Warner is found to have been
nominated for governor on the Repub.
lican ticket by a plurality of 1879.
This was the determination of the
state board of canvassers upon meet
ing to canvass the returns and make
final certification to the election com.
missioners of the result of the pri-
mary. 1t was found that Gov. Warner
sustained total net loss in the re-
count of 400 votes by throwing out the
ballots in several townships which were
not marked with the initials of in
spectors by eliminating the votes
which were cast on voting machine
in Spaulding township. Menominee
county and by subtracting large
number of votes which were thrown
out because of distinguishing marks.
His total vote in the state was S7,719
as finally determined, while Bradley
vote as canvassed was S6,440.

Railroads Excuses Are Invalid.

The Michigan railroad commission
filed in the Wayne county clerks of
fee it's answer 10 the suit started by
the Crank Trunk railway TO restrain
the enforcement of the new law com
polling that road TO make connections
with the ID. u. X. at South Flint. The
Grand Trunk in its bill alleged that
such a connection was not necessary;
that it would cost $250,000 or $500, 900
to do the work, and that no public in
terest would be served by the connec-
ton. The railroad also claimed that
it was not making money to pay divi-
dends and could not afford its share
of the expense of the connection. The
railroad commissions answer declares
that the excuses set up by the Grand
Trunk are not valid excuses and af.
firms that the connection is a public
necessity.

Prohibitionist candidate for vice-presi.
dent, will speak from the top OF the
largest and most imposing water
wagon to be found in Detroit on the
evening of that date. Even now the
search for the largest sprinkler is in
progress. Following the Detroit ad.

dresses in II Michigan cities and
towns. Plans were made for an ad-
dress by the vice-presidential candi-
date from the Detroit courthouse
steps, but Auditors Christian and Buh.

serious effect that II was abandoned.
Following Watkins arrival, he will ad.
dress Detroit audience. Then an in.
terurban car will carry Prohibition
principals to Flint and distribute them
in the cities along the route. The
party will go from Flint to Grand
Blanc, Holly and Davisburg, and the
railroad will then carry the white rib

Trial Postponed.

The idea that Harry G.. Lewis, cash
Ter of the defunct Athens State Saw

that every week an adjournment is
taken. Lewis is charged with forgery,
but the case never comes up in court,
and Athens residents say it never will.
Despite the young mans DEFICIENCIES
and their dire results, Athens stands
by him. Though indicted as a forger
he occupies a sort of pedestal in the

punishment for his manipulation OF

How often men are heard to say.
well, next year l shall begin to
save" or Next year | intend TO lead
a better life." They are constantly de-
ferring the time for practically en-
/, forcing their good resolutions. There
is no time like the present to begin
to do we'll If your habits need re-
forming, begin their reformation now;
il you are extravagant, this very day
is the proper time to begin TO save
money; If your companions are dis
solutc, and their example bad, shun
them from this moment; II you are
anxious TO succeed in life, to accumu-
late wealth, decide upon a feasible
plan which promises success, and
make beginning. Industry and per-
severance will enable you TO overcome
many obstacles which now appear al
most insurmountable, says the New
York Weekly From small beginnings
many Of the grandest enterprises OF
the world have sprung, and most of
the wealthy men of the age owe their
fortunes chiefly TO the fact that they
made beginning. The founder of st.
Luke's hospital, the late Rev. William
Augustus Muhlenberg, author of the
hymn, II Would Not Live Away" sug-
gested from his pulpit, in 1916, 81
years ago, the necessity of such an
institution for the relief of the sick.
The first collection for the purpose
was made, and it amounted to the In.
significant sum of $31. when do you
expect to complete your hospital?" a
friend asked, smiling at the small
sum. "Never!" promptly answered
DR.. Muhlenberg, never, if l do not
make beginning" Eight years after
ward the foundation stone of ST.
Luke's hospital was laid; in 1857 the
chapel was opened for divine service,
and patients were admitted May 13,
1858. In 1857 DR.. Muhlenberg became
its superintendent and pastor, and
held this position at the time of his
death, April s, 1877. From that little
sum Of s31-that small beginning
there came in due time one of the best
managed institutions of the kind in
the country, credit to the city of
New York, and an enduring monument
to the memory of its founder.

Avery, who was recently deposed as
collector at Port Huron by President
Roosevelt, are quite numerous and the
problem OF filing the vacancy is prov.

for years and the Avery episode has
served only to aggravate matters. The
candidates already in the field are be-

senators are quietly feeling around to
find some man whose appointment
would not jar on the different fac

breach.
