MEN NOT MACHINES.

Omaha Bee.
 What the American workingman wants Is good wages, paid promptly, steady employment. and the right to do what he likes with his money" said Q large employer of labor while in Oma- ha last week. In this he touches on the vital spot in the relation between employer and employer. This man had been detailing the results of an exper- Iment that he had carried on in his own works in the way of paternally providing for his workmen. He had installed baths, gymnasium, and other appurtenances for the purpose. he thought, of ameliorating the condition of his work men. but his baths fell into dusty disuse. his gymnasium was neg lected. and his other efforts were quite as fruftless He Is philosophical enough to admit that he was mistaken Nothing in his experience tends to give him the impression that his worlSmen do not bathe, that they are not inter ested in athletic sports and pastimes. or that they do not care for books and magazines. His conclusion Is that his workmen prefer to do these things for themselves. and without the advice or assistance of the employer in any way. save as the employer shares with the men on an equal footing.
 The employer who realizes that his men are men and not machines is cer- tain to reap the largest reward in ser- vice in the end, while the general cause of society is better subserved by main- taining the spirit that induces the workmen to provide for themselves, rather than to inculcate a spirit of ser- wility under which the workmen will expect to be provided for.

rate blouses as well as on evening gowns. Ruffled sleeves of lace were never lovIier than they are this season these worn mostly with the jumper dress and the sleeveless coat.
 There are some attractive color combinations shown for summer things. Brown, pink and black is trio much used by dress artists. striking, but rather Frenchy combination is pink, purple and green. Louis purple is a very fashionable color and also the Du Barry pink. Cream colored ribbon is very handsome when lowered in either of these shades.
 Fine null or linen waists that are worn with a dressy skirt and coat suit of rajah or mohair are often embroider- ed in the color matching the suit or some little detail of trimming. Some times the blouse is of linen in a delicate blue, green mauve or rose color and then 1t Is embroidered to match the suit, a waist of mauve em- broidered in darker self-tones. would be very effective, and one of yellow would be charming worked In brown or black.
 The new jabots are extremely large and fluffy, made of five ruffles, gradu- ated in depth and width. The material is fine batiste or nainsock with no trimming on the edge except hem stitching or dainty handmade frflling. These newest jabots have a pleated part going around the neck with four ruffIes attached to one end and the smallest top one fastened to, the other end and when crossed, are held in place by a long bar pin.

SULTAN DIsAPPOTNTED.

Muley Hahd is a very much disap- pointed and disgusted man.
 For three days he had the best blacksmith here breaking open the massive doors of the Shereefian treas ury to discover nothing more valuable than a trunk containing some old clothes belonging to Abdul Aziz. When the latter started for Rabat he left behind the greater part of his harem and Hafld demanded that they should show him the hiding places of-4he treasure but the women replied that the Sultan had taken all the cash and | jewels with him.
 They were mercilessly logged to re- | freshen their memory but they betray- ed nothing.

Escapes from Turkey.

Colonel Zaur Ahmed Bey. a Turkish officer, who had incurred the displeas- ure of the Turkish Government, or. rather of the Sultan. has just had a remarkable escape from that country.
 He embarked at Alexandria on the Roumanian steamboat Trajan, bound for Constantza, intending to pro- ceed from that port to Iassy and to travel thence with his wife to Russia The news of his departure having been telegraphed by spies. straight to YiI- dig Kiosk, strict orders were issued that he was to be put ashore. at any cost. either at Smyrna or at Constantinople.
 4 deputation met the colonel at smyrna, assuring him that the Sultan had pardoned him, but he refused to leave the boat. At Constantinople, the Colonel was met by a lieutenant of the Imperial Guard. who again as- and at the same time promoted to the rank of a General, zaur Ahmed Bey. however, rejected the Sultan's gener- osity and refused to speak to the im- perial envoy.
 After this failure the Turkish Gov- ernment in embarra Ssment applied to the Roumanian Government, asking that the Colonel. as a political refugee, should not be allowed to leave Con stantinople on a Roumanian boat. Ar ter an agitated stay of seven hours at Constantinople, the TraJRn was re- leased at 9 o'clock in the evening on the receipt of the following telegram from Bucharest: By order of his majesty, King Charles, the Trajan is

Hearss Loses m Editor

Adams Financial Letter
 I understand that Arthur Brisbane. the recipient of salary of Si00.000 per annum. editor of The Hearst New York American and the highest paid news paper man in the world, Is no longer connected with the Hearst enterprise. The reason for this change is not made public I wonder if the recent state ments of Mir Brisbane. both private and public that the Hearst papers would support William H Taft for the presidency of the United States In preference to Bryan. had anything to do with Brisbane's retirement "The money in it'' was probably the only reason Mir. Brisbane has been so long connected with the Hearst papers, for he is not yellow in his thoughts or desires. While in his editorial capac- ity he was constantly attacking the leading Wall Street interests for the good of the common people. socially he was much sought after by the lead- ing captains of industry.

 A chauffeur who was accompa by groom carrying under his aETn a bun de of papers one day this week stopp- ed his car opposite the mysterious house. the doors of which were clos ed. The car had apparently broken | down The chauffeur and the groom who were really police agents in dis l guise left their machine and knocked at the door to ask for a paid of pliers The door was opened by 6 woman ] who suspecting nothing was going ir search of the desired implement, when | the two men held her back entered the
 house and slammed the door in her I face.
 Strange and terrible was the aspect of the interior. The walls were hung
 with mysterious symbols human skulls and crossed bones, bottles large and
 small swords of strange shapes. heads of dogs. cats and other animals, and in l fact all the traditional implements of | medeyiaI wftchcraft A thorough search was made and several books were found containing a quantity of l invocations to the Evil One. ThH sorceress. a woman of about fif- ty, who possesses vast property pur-
 chased with the money she had wheed- lied from her credulous customers. was | arrested and carried away in the au- tomoiile. Her trial will reveal many

Over the 14-year-oId daughter of a washerwoman who desired to marry against the will of her parents. fierce fight was fought in the Spittsbauer- gasse In Vienna. Cutlasses knives and revolvers were the weapons used. and five persons were wounded, two of them very seriously.
 On sunday last the girl, Anna Dres- sei, reached the age of IA years, when she could legally marry. She had a lover. a butchers assistant. named Karl Radermacher. 31 years old. Anna $ mother was opposed to the marriage, but lon Sunday afternoon Radermache CT went to the house determined to carry out his purpose He carried with him a large butcher knife hidden under his clothing. Entering the house, he asked where Anna was to be found. The mother tried to persuade him that the girl was still too young to marry, whereupon he drew his knife and stab bed her in the left arm.
 Radermacher had brought with him another butchers assistant named Hajek. Between these two and the members of the girls family a fearful struggle took place. All the furniture in the house was quickly broken and thrown into the street. RadermacheI and his follower fought like demons but they were in the minority and were driven into the street by the brothers of the girld armed with revolvers Radermache CT was hit several times and the fusilade was kept up after the raiders had been thrown out.
 A schoolboy who was watching the battle was hit by a stray bullet. Hajek was hit in the left hand and Anna Dres- sel, the cause of the strife, was se- verely wounded as she tried to protect her lover.
 When the police finally arrived, the battle was over, and there was noth- ing to do but to take the wounded to the hospital.
