One reason why Mr.. Baxter never

PUSHED HIS INQUIRY TOO FAR
Discovery That Brought DisiIlusion.
nent to Austrian Emperor.

Regarding the public agitation for
baths in elementary schools in Aus
tria, story is going the round Of
court circles of a recent experience
OF the emperor. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. His majesty was visiting a
school in a small country district. A
local official, anxious to impress the
sovereign with the progressive ideas
prevailing in the community, called
bis attention to the fact that the
schoolhouse was provided with baths
for the pupils.
The emperor showed the liveliest in
rerest, and Immediately asked to see
the bathroom, whereupon the director
OF the school looked extremely un-
comfortable. The key could not be
found for some time, and his majesty
began to get impatient. Finally 1t was
produced, and the eager official opened
the door.
The emperor stepped into verit-
able lumberroom, filled with a choice
collection of broken desks and chairs
and waste paper that completely hid
the bath equipment.
The emperor stepped quickly out
again, and as he did so was heard to
murmur: SERVES me right Why was
] so inqutsitiye?"- ?"-Youth's Compan
ion.

eELLelRD BROUGHT TO LONDON.
Rare Specimen That Has Been Sc.
cured for the Zoo.

A specimen of tho naked-throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynci1us nudlcollis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
tcal gardens, London. The most re-
markable thing in connection with the
bellbird is it's powerful voice; it ut
ters a clear, metallic note which can
be heard at distance Of three miles
Its noise Is like that produced by
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times 1t repeats it's notes In quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
Intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice of this Bird it is loud aud
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate of
the ZOO raising its voice at once. Ex-
cept for space Of naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which.
during the breeding season, Is Of u
green color, this bird is pure white
The contrast between the sexes in the
bellbirds, Of which two species have
been exhibited in the menagerie, is
extreme. For while the male is pure
white, the female is brownish green.
Darwin refers to the bellbiId when he
points out that white Is a very rare
color In terrestrial species OF mod.

SOLDIERS SET TO
GUARD MINERS
Company Of Infantry Will Attempt
to Preserve Order at Fairbanks,
Alaska, During Strike.
Trouble is Outcome of Demand for
Hiaher Wages and Shorter Hours,
and Attempt to Operate Mines
Independently Of Western
Federation.

Washington.-By direction Of the
president, Acting Secretary Oliver on
Thursday ordered a company Of in
fantry from Fort Gibbon, in Alaska,
to Fairbanks, in that territory, to pre-
serve order during the mining strike
in that section. kilograms from Fair
banks to the attorney general stated
that open air mass meetings are be-
ing held by the striking miners, and
that threats of violence have been
made.
The distance from Fort Gibbon to
Fairbanks is 1876 miles, and the troops
will be carried by sleds over the
route. which is said TO be a very good
one If there is urgent necessity for
the presence of the soldiers at Fair
banks they can get there in four or
five days. But under ordinary condi-
lions the trip takes six or seven days.
Fairbanks is in the center of min
ing country, with a population OF l.
600 or 5000. Persons in Washington
familiar with the conditions existing
a. Fairbanks say the trouble is the
outcome of a strike a year or more
ago for higher wages and shorter
hours for miners. This the operators,
however, refused, and their determi-
nation to operate their mines indie
pendently of the Western Federation
of Miners may, it is feared, lead to
trouble.

ARMENIARS PROTEST AGAINST
SU[TAN'S WARuEE PLANS
Much Excitement in Armenia as Re.
suit Of Turkish Reserve Forces Be-
ing Ordered to the Frontier.

Tihis.-Reports have been received
here from Armenia that all the Re
iias, or Turkish army reserve forces,
In Van, Mush and other yillayets OF
Asia Minor have been called to the
colors aid are departing rapidly for
the frontier. Al the same time a
league OF the Turkish revolutionary
party is increasing the revolutionary
agitation.
Appeals and proclamations are be
Ing issued exhorting the population to
protest in every way possible against
the warlike plans OF the sultan. The
league holds that war would be espe.
cially disastrous at this time, as there
is famine in Asia Minor.
At Tihis the apprehension Of hostil-
tiles has not abated. The Russian
military authorities have ordered that
all horses in the Caucasus available
for military purposes be registered.
The doctors of Tiflis held a meeting
recently and volunteered their ser
vices in case Of war.
The concentration of Turkish re-
serves on the Persian and Russian
frontiers in Asia Minor, If In progress,
is an outcome of the border difficulty
with Persia Recently Turkish troops
crossed the Persian frontier to the
vicinity Of Urumiah and committed
depredations. To this Russia, under
her treaty obligations to Persia, OBJ
jected and began the concentration of
strong force on the frontier Of the
Caucasus. This show of military ac-
tivity was though to have been sufii'
Client to put a stop to the Turkish ag.
gression, and the Russian movement
was said to have been discontinued.
II the reports from Armenia are
true, the difficulty in Asia Minor,
which is closely connected with the
railroad aspirations of the powers in
the Balkans, may assume serious i'm
port.
