HAsTY AND INoPPoRTUNE
Is Criticism of Prince Ferdinand's
Action by Russian Press.

st. Petersburg. Oct. 5.--The Russian
press says the Russian ministery con-
dennis Prince Ferdinand's action as
hasty and inopportune. but accepts the
independence of Bulgaria as an a1-
complshed fact.
Professor Paul n. Milukoff. leader Of
the Constitutional Democrats and edi-
tor Of the Rech although always fav-
oring the Bulgarians. arraigns in his
paper the new monarch as almost a
traitor to the Sav cause i'm handing
over Bosnia to the mercies of the hat
ed Austrians.
The Novoe Vremya hopes that Tur-
key will not attach Importance to the
proclai inning of Bulgaria'S independ-
ence. which does not affect the real
statue quo.
The Novoe Vremya, however. takes
Il different view of the annexation of
the provinces to Austria. which is
equivalent to dismemberment uf the
Turkish Empire.

PARKER AFTER ROOSEVELT.
Says Standard Oil Gave 100000 to
Help Elect Him in 1904.

Baltimore, Oct. 5.-"When President
Roosevelt so sweepingly condemned
Haskell for his alleged connection
with the Standard Oil Co. he perhaps
forgot that in 1904 his, Roosevelt's
committee. received 100000 from the
Standard Oil Co. for the campaign
fund, and spent it,
This statement by Judge Alton B.
Parker of New York brought to their
feet in burst of wild applause, some
5000 spectators who assembled to-
night in Richmond Market hall to
hear him
Judge Parker quoted the Roosevelt
Hartman correspondence and said
that when Mr.. Hartman contributed
to the Republican campaign fund. Mr..
Roosevelt considered him all right, but
that when his aid in this direction
was not forthcoming the President
placed him-but not until then-on the
list OF undesirable citizens.
IF any man in the United States"
he said, has earned the right to be
saved from such insults it is William
Jennings Bryan. When Roosevelt so
sweepingly condemned Haskell for his
alleged connection with the. Standard
Oil Co. he perhaps forgot that in 1904,
his, ROosevelt's committee, received
100000 from the Standard Oil Co. for
the campaign fund and used it. And
When Treasurer George B. CortelyOu
Of the National committee in that year
went to the Standard Oil Co. by APP
pointment to ask for money for the
campaign fund. he was not satisfied
with 500, 900 but wanted more 1t
may be true that Roosevelt wrote to
Cortelyou telling him to send that
100000 back to the Standard Oil Co.,
but it is equally true that Cortelyou
did not send it back, but used it,"

Hartford Diocese Is Ended.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 5.-The long and
busy life of Rt. Rev. Michael Tierney
bishop Of Hartford, ended at 300 O'clock
this afternoon when he Succumbed to
the stroke of apopleXy which bore him
down in the fullness of years on Sat
urday evening" In the sick room at the
time were gathered many of the priests
or the diocese, in addition to the
clergymen of the household and of St
Josephs Cathedral number CT mem
bers of religious orders and the innie-
date relatives of the preate. The end
had beer expected since last night vet
only an hour before death came the
physicians had marvelled at the vital
ity of the patient and even thought he
might live several hours
There had been three sinking spells
during the day but slight rally fol-
lowed. Shortly before o'clock there
were signs of dissolution and those who
were present when the end came were
at once summoned. Bishop Tierney did
not regain consciousness which left him
early on Sunday and he fell asleep
peacefully and with a smile on his
face. This forenoon the priests Of the
cathedral celebrated mass in the sick
room.
AS soon as the death of the bshcp
mad been announced to those present
P'ght Rev. Mgr. John Synnott, the

diocese until the vacancy in the bishop
ric is filled, had consultation with

the Episcopal residence in Pennington
avenue. 1t was expected early this
evening that word would be received
during the night of the preliminary
arrangements.
The household priests are receiving a
very large number of messages of
coincidence from all over the world and
many rrominent citizens have called
and left their cards.

60.
The real gravity of the Bulgarian
situation lies in the fact that it, like
the Moroccan situation, is one OF the
issues which divides the great powers
OF Europe in the gradual reforming of
their international alignments In the
present Instance. the interests of Rus
STA, France and Great Britain are large
~ in common against those of Germany
and Austria, with Italy occupying a
middle ground. Russia has Il most
vital interest in Bulgaria, owing to
racial conditions, geographical proXi-
nifty and Black Sea prestige But Rus
STA has not been entirely free to act
with Germany, having adverse inter-
ests on her Baltic frontier.
TINS has left France and Great
Eritaln to play the chief part in Bull
Sarian REIMBURSEMENT, with Russia a
silent but deeply interested spectator
and ally. On the other hand, Germany
has first pushed her influence toward
Morocco in the southwest and then
toward Turkey, Persia. the Balkans and
the near east. Austria has usually
been cooperating with Germany, part
~ Though TIE DOlluS OF the trlDlp al
lance and partly because of personal
interests This in turn has famed in
to activity the old animosity alliance
and to group Italy with France and
Great Britain.
rms gradual re9rOuping of the
powers has been affected by three re-
cent mOvements-Turkeys adoptiol of
a constitution. the Moroccan issue and
the present independence of Bulgaria
in all of which the new alignment of
the powers is becoming manifest with
Great Britain and France Russia
occupying common ground, Germany
ana Austria cooperating and Italy in
somewhat natural attitude AS in
the Moroccan affair the indications are.
'that mediation or an international
congress will seek to arrange some
working basis as to Bulgaria, but
meantime the intriguing among the
powers for influence in the near east
Is likely to go on undated and to
DE an important factor in the neW
grouping of the powers of Europe.

COVERS FOR PORCH CHAIRS
KEEP~FROCKS CLEAN
AND ARE PRETTY

Porch chairs, even though they are
not freshly painted have a way Of
spelling summer frOCks. Indeed there
are many chairs that are sticky, even
though the paint is badly worn in
places. This happens mostly at the
seashOre.
The only way TO make a porch neat
and fresh looking is to have white COW
ers for ali the chairs. and they are not
nearly so difficult 20 make as might be
supposed.
Get coarse white crash, if pOss BILE,
just wide enough 10 fit across the
chair Measure the chair from the top
of the back to the outer edge of the
seat and cut a length of the crash TO
fit, allowing enough at each end for a
hem.
Fasten tapes at each corner and at
each side of the center of the length.
These are to tie the cover on at the
top of the back, where the back and
the seat meet, and at the front of the
seat. If the crash is the right width
the selvage viii finish the cover on the
two long sides.
There is no fitting. little sewing, Sand
the covers are easy 10 remove and

be materially improved and no fresh

JAPANESE PORCH SCREENS
NEEDED FOR PRIVACY
AND COMFORT

In those happy houses that have wide
porches around two Or more sides Of the
house, screens are needed for privacy
One wants to live on such pOrches. TO
eat, TO sleep, 10 read and 10 write, and
It IS quite convenient at times to have
q screen to run across the porch.
There are now japanese ones on the
market, made OF bamboo. with ropes
and pulleys. and these can be lifted
or dropped at will.
In the comfortable country houses the
second floer porch is divided into sec
lions to correspond with the sleeping
room for guests and different members
of the family.
Japanese screens make these DIVISIONS
and turn each part of the porch into an
attractive outdoor sitting room. Here Is
a couch with a light blanket. a table
with magazines and writing materials,
q long steamer chair with cushions and
q foot stool.
4 small table is used for ones early
coffee or breakfast and for tea In the
afternoon. The guests may be alone or
they visit around from one porch SIT

GIRLS WHO WOULD KEEP
COOL CUT OUT ICED DRINKS
AND DON'T FRET

The girl who keeps cool doesn't wave
a fan or swallow pints Of iced drinks.
She avoids excitement and selects the
most quiet spot to do her work When
she is walking she takes her time.
She does not really prOcrastinate, but
she does things only when they should
be done and with the least amount of
commotion possible.
The warmer it gets the quieter she
keeps. while the eXcitable girl who is
lamenting the warm weather IS covered
with perspiratiOn.
When night comes she goes TO her bed
and sleeps, for she has learned the Sc
cret. She hangs a wet sheet. not drip
ping wet, across a line in her room.
This absorbs the heat as soon as Il
enters the room. She knows they do
this in the tropics, and she adopts a
good idea,
She does her shopping before the sun
has become deadly and wonders why
women are so silly not 10 start for the
sweltering city until II O'Clock.
When she returns she allows the cold
water to flow freely over her wrists to
cool the blood all over the body.
She does not wear stiff collars, but
selects the soft, cool ones which fall
away from the neckband.
She takes things as they come and
doesn't fret about how much she has to
do Above all, she doesn't talk about
the weather.

For L1Uention of Cotton Nofle
All Women Should Be Grateful

Are women sufficiently grateful for
the invention OF the cheap cotton wolfe?
There is no time to take a canvass. so
il is hard to III. They should be filed
with gratitude. for It is a fabric that
supplies many a need and meets a null
titude of wants.
The weaving Of it has been so, perfect
ed that even at small prices thif wolfe
has the most attractive appeararct. II
is soft. silky, sheer. and delightfully."-
cool.
It has gone through all the dyes nee
essary to fit Il for fashionable fabric.
In this respect IL has no superior. not
even in satin crepe de chine. whiaiJ
seems 10 have done its best this year.
Cotton Woke when 1t first appear &c
did not strike the popular fancy as II
should. Women who didn't know passed
it by for cheap taffeta when they want
ed an everyday shirtwaist suit. It was
