And somewhere in the middle. to aug

Bile, will be the milliners.
For. let it be said at once. the hats
are broader, larger, taller and wider
than the famous Merry Widows
Well, it IS dire prophecy to make
when the weather is 50 warm, but an
eminent authority on he habit Of the
sex masculine has sal j.. that the men
will not stand larger hats. Of course,
everybody knows there are reasons
for such an assertion.
In the first place, with the increase
in size Of the hat comes the increase
in the bill-and that is a subject
worth mentioning. Secondly, the
nerve-racking, soul-piercing, altogeth-
er-hurtful propensities of the Merry
Widows have already overstepped the
patience that a mere man is said nev-
er to possess. An added inch to the
width Of brim, an increased 81 to
the bill will be the straw to swing the
scales too far.
Seriously speaking. though, the
hats as seen this early in the season
are to be feared. Of course, the sty-
les may change later and such freaks
may fall by the wayside, but at pres
ent the outlook is bad. To be truth
ful. there ism It any outlook; The hats
leave no room. Not only are the
hrims wider than last season. but the
crowns are huge. monumental. colos-
sal. Some of them are seven inches.
Others have the appearance OF stout
leaning tower Of Pisa. There are
Tam-O-S -Shanter crowns large enough
to cover that well-known gentleman
and his entire family. Some shapes
resemble inverted kitchen utensils,
such as the humble diShpan. Fire
mems helmets are quite popular, too,
and derbies, the sort favored by the
king of England, and felt stovepipes
are designed to adorn fair heads.
inst how little women and plump
women and dovaoers will look in
these tonheavv connections is a SUBJ

LITTLE EFFECT ON MARKET HERE.

The local stock market was not greatly anected
by the Bulgarian Turkish situation but brokers
said they looked for feverish market for Few
DAYS The view taken by foreign bankers was
that there would be developments abroad Hkley
even moderately to impair the strong position
which this country holds at present through us
abundant harvests and unusually large supplies
OF money. 1t was pointed out that should war
begin it would at cause an enormous demand
for American breadstuffs and other staples some
bankers said also that while there would undouot-
edly be some heavy selling of American securities
there would also be some buying, as the isolation
of this country would render our STOCKS anu D0Hu'
particularly attractive to foreigners
The view taken in the grain trade was That an
outbreak of hostilities In the Balkans would anect
European grain prices generally. and through them
have much influence on the American Market al
though the quantity of wheat and corn
concerned in the case of war between bulgaria ara
Turkey was not, it said. SO great as TO cause
any radical readjustment Of market prices.

PROTEST FROM TURKEY.

r,onstsntinople, Oct. 5.-The Council OF Min

sitting at midnight preparing a protest Wh1ch
will be submitted to Bulgaria and the powers
AGAINST the violation Of the Treaty OF Berlin
Prince Ferdinand has telegraphed 10 'he
Turkish government that he was compelled To
respect the voice of the nation, and hoped that
the friendly relations between the two countries
would continue.
Turkeys reply, which is being prepared re-
fuses 10 recognize Bulgaria's independence
As soon as the news was received that bui-
parfan independence had been proclaimed the
Turkish Foreign Minister summoned all the am
bassadors. except the Austrian Ambassador anu
sought their advice.
A committee OF the Young Turk party Also .
holding a session tonight, at which the sltua-
ton is being reviewed
1t IS the general desire Of the government 10
avoid war and suggestions have been MADE that
a tariff war be opened against Austria and Bull
earia by way Of retaliation. The people how
ever. are in a belligerent mood and may force
the government which in its present posluo1
cannot afford TO have the reactionists come TO
the front into taking extreme measures
Turkey is convinced that Austria backed oy
Germany. encouraged Bulgaria to declare her
independence in order to strike blow at the
KainiI Ministry and compromise the new con-
stitutional system.

TO REVISE THE TREATY.

St Petersburg, Oct. 5-It was announced to-
day that Russia would propose a congress OF
the powers for a general revision Of the Berlin
Treaty. This is an outcome of the proclamation
Of Bulgarian independence, and involves a com
plete change of front on the part of Russia
which only last week declared opposition to
any modification of the treaty's provisions.
Russia will require from Austria-Hungary
compensatory advantages for the annexation Of
Bosnia and Herzegovina but it is not yet pos
sible to learn what form this compensation will
take There is considerable doubt whether the
opening OF the Dardanelles to Russian warships
would be advantageous to Russia. The basis of
Russia's policy doubtless would be to secure
better terms for herself and Turkey than were
obtained in the congress at Berlin.
No tears will be shed in ST. Petersburg at the
cancellation of the Berlin Treaty. which was
forced on Russia at time when she Grip
pied by the Turkish war. Russia never has
been content with her standing under this
agreement, but accepted her disadvantages
Loyalty and endeavored to make the best Of the
situation rather than risk plunging Europe into
disastrous war
Such single handed action by Austria Hun
gary in a matter affecting the interest Of all
Europe in the opinion of Russian diplomacy
cannot he permitted. Russia would prefer to
throw open the whole range of Balkan prob
lens to discussion although realizing fully
the danger to the peace of Europe that such a
course might involve.
Count Berchthod. the Austro- Hungarian Am
bassador to Russia who had been absent on
leave of absence, returned to this city to-day
and demanded immediate audience Of En-
peror Nicholas It was arranged that he should
see his majesty tomorrow. The Emperor is

why should we protect a clergyman if he is

1T IS not alone for the clergyman that L ask
this" said Lawyer Weeks. but for the sake of
public decency. 1 don't think the public should
know the details of a woman's betrayal by a
clergyman"
This deserves all the publicity he can get"
rejoned the justice, and l think that the records

how far off hell was. It'll take you JUST one

the Bishops reply. and the application OF this

At Mankato the special made a stop OF about

The meeting here was held IN the auditorium,
a huge hall owned by the city, in which the
Governors voice, though weak, heard per-

the audience. They exhibited the same en-

Senator Clapp, this was redoubIed and at the

The Governor continued:
