preferment, while manhood suffrage is the
source of all governmental power, while
so many of those capable of ruling prefer

long will we suffer the maximum of bur-

Queen and Her Lover,

Essex street, London, derives Its
name from the Inflated earl Of Es-
sex, the favorite Of Queen Elizabeth.
The earl's town house stood in Essex
street and the queen often visited him
there. The story goes that it was
in the garden of Essex house that
the queen gave her favorite box ON
his ear, saying: Go and be hanged"
and the hot-tempered young man
swore that he would not have brooked
such an insult from her father. A
curious discovery relating to Essex
and Queen Elizabeth was made by
Lord Cholmondely in 1870 at a house

Hopes for Pence.

Paris, Oct. 6.-The hope that hos
tilities may be averted in Balkans is
growing In Paris. The latest advices
received here from Constantinople
seem to indicate that the porte, for
the moment, in not disposed to go
further than formal, protest against
Bulgaria's proclamation Of independ-
ence. Foreign Minister Pichon is
continuing his conferences here. This
morning he talked with NJ. Iswolsky,
the Russian minister of foreign af-
fairs, and M. Stancioff, the diplomatic
agent of Bulgaria. and this afternoon
he conferred with the British, Turk
ish. Italian and Spanish ambassadors.
France believes in the necessity of a
new conference of the signatories of
the Berlin treaty for the purpos of
clesring up the situation and safe
guarding the interests Of all the DOW
ers concerned. II the principle of a
new congress is approved, France in
accord with Great Britain and Russia.

dependence of Bulgaria and the seiz-
ure of Bosnia and Herzegovina by

amount to backing ur. Turkeys pro-

the porte, will act asa calming and
restraining influence.
