THEFLYINC MACHINE
IT HAS COME TO STAY, SAYS
 HENRY FARMAN.
Man Who Won Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize Talks About His Plans for Future Experiments with His
 Aeroplane.

New York.-Contrary to popular be- lief, Henry Farman, who in a single day achieved worldwide fame by navigating an airship over a circular course one kilometer in length and winning prize of $10,000, is an Eng lishman. The feat that set all Flu rope talking and made Farman a so- cial lion in Paris, where the flight took place, was by no means his first achievement of note, although Of far greater interest to the general public as pointing the way to a means of navigation that has ever proved a stumbling block to mankind
 Farman has always been conspicu- ously successful in everything he un- dertook, and his has been an active life. Some 16 years ago, when the bi- cycle craze was at it's height in Flu rope, Farman was one of the cham pions on the French racing track, with his brother Maurice, never having been beaten on a tandem.
 With the advent of the automobile, he naturally drifted into the game, anu NdS OIie Ol lHe IlOSL IedIItSS chauffeurs in a land that has turned out plenty of talent in that class. His energies were by no means monop- olized by. racing, for he embarked in the manufacture of automobiles, at the present time being head of one of the largest motor car concerns in Flu rope.
 Inspired by the success of M. San tos-Dupont. Mir. Farman took up the problem of aerial navigation with his customary enthusiasm and thorough ness, winning merited success.
 From boyhood, Farman has ex- hibited fondness for risking his neck, having experienced some bad falls when racing with bicycle and automobile. Nevertheless, he leaves nothing undone to put any machine he may be riding in perfect condi- | ton, and declares that he is the soul of prudence.
 When 1 risk my neck, which of course, every man who mounts an aeroplane is bound to do, l at least have the certainty that 1 have left nothing undone to Inake my ap

Such a Clever Waiter.

 ''F'resh-right out of the water" said the waiter, offhand.
 Nonsense" said the man. You know well enough that they do not take bluefish at this season"

On the other hand, Austria has the right to build her railway, or rather the gaps in the present system. It is a right that was granted by an article of the Berlin treaty, and it has not lapsed simply because the Austrian government has allowed the matter to lie i'll abeyance for so many years. The other rumored Austrian project of building a road from her Bosnian Herzegovina system to the Adriatic, and then down the coast to Montene- gro, and ultimately to Greece, is a sound idea, and one that would pay for itself handsomely, at least so far as Cattaro, and probably there is no idea of pushing the road much fur ther in the immediate future.
 Ready for Roads.
 Under the fostering care of Herr von Kallay, the provinces of Bosnia, of Herzegovina, and in measure, too, Dalmatia have flourished under Aus trian rule and development. They are ready for railways, and many more of them. Ten years ago the complaint of little Servia and the veto of Russia would, of course, have brought these projects to an untimely end but to- day the balance of power in the near east has changed as greatly as it has in the far east, and the protests are more likely to fall to the ground than are the projected railways.

How Cathedral Will Look When Com
 peted.

GOO, and the advocates of more ex- pensive building urged that building operations were more expensive now than ever.
 The expensive brownstone walls O. the old church, which stood intact, have been discarded because the ma terial has developed poor resistance to New York's flexible climate
 This new church will be French Gothic in architecture, rather plainer for such style than is usual, and the material will be stone. The Cathedral of Bourges will be followed, and also that of Amiens and Westminster ab- bey. There will be tower with four spires and smaller spires elsewhere.
 A special feature will be a spacious entrance in the avenue front, en- riched with statues.

ic forms are still observed, recall the wordy wars of railway kings. The al liance or entente between the powers which was to press reforms upon the porte that would make it possible for the Christian subjects of the porte to live in peace and yet live Christian lives, has been disrupted by the greed of gain and the thirst for political ad- vantage experienced by the powers, which have in the last decade plumed in Macedonia which they had received from outraged humanity.
 It is a pitiful end of the reform decade, and the best that can be said of the situation is that today the Christian peasants are not much worse off than they were before, and that those who have survived their hard experiences are probably much wiser than they were when they began their political schooling under such august patronage. Taking the optimistic view, the Turkish soldier is not al ways brute and the Turkish effendi not always thief. Looking backward now, the more than decimated peas antry of the Macedonian highlands doubtless recall the pleasant days of before the uprising, the days when they had not heard of Pan-Slav or a Pan-Hellenic propaganda, when they didn't know whether they were Servi- ans, Roumanians, Bulgarians or Greeks, and didn't much care.
 The Railway Row.
 The railway row is clearly a pretext for and not the cause of the split in the joint Macedonian policy of Russia and Austria. Russia has not even the remotest intention of building a rail way from the Danube to the Adriatic, and if she had the intention, she has not the money. This road would cost millions, and goes through difficult and what railway men call a very ''lean' country. It would never pay; that is, not within the ken of the present generation, and could only serve a political purpose which Russia will be unable to pursue for many years to come.

BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE.
Wife Found Dainty Handkerchiefs .
 Thing of the Past.

You can't always tell what sort of a husband a man will make by the presents he sends a girl while he is courting her.
 Here is a story that will point this moral:
 \ certain very charming lady who has family of nearly grown children tells funny tale of the difference a wear of married life, with it's prac- tical demands, will make in man $ way of looking at things. Before they were married her husband had a great penchant for pretty handker- chiefs; any bit of dainty embroidery or lace would appeal to him as ex- actly the right thing to present to his dainty inamorata. At one time he gave Der two beauties, costing him five do lars apiece; another time she receive,l three at the same price. Then hllf dozen for which he paid $15. S,le had visions of her Romeo spending his future contributing the dainties of life to her.

Old Sayings Clothed in the Language

Ancient history tells of Boston spinster whose modesty forced her to speak of her dogs trousers" not his pants" The city annals also hold record of a school miss whose verbal nicety brought forth the proverb: I'm part to your grand-maternal relative elementary instruction in the art of extracting nutriment from the oviary deposit of the common or garden fowl" But both of these more or less historic instances are far outdone (even assuming their genuineness) by the latest bit of literary intelligence from the Massachusetts metropolis, which gravely announces that "A sim pie paraphrase" of the good old Gin body meet body" runs thusly.

"In our business we get many doubt ful compliments said Col. John F. Bishop, deputy surveyor of the port, the other day, but I do not think I ever received a compliment such as my grandfather got down in my native state of Tennessee.

large number of foreign officers to serve with the Turkish constabulary. An Italian general was placed in com mand of the constabulary reorganiza- tion scheme, and to him were attached many of the foreign officers. The scheme proved intellectual from the beginning. Instead of commanding the gendarmerie in the field, the sultan held, and imposed his view upon the powers, that the foreign officers were merely to act as instructors in schools for aspirant constables. Six months, a delay of tragic importance to the hunted Christian peasantry of the Macedonian highlands. was spent in discussing the question whether the European officers should wear Chris tian caps or the Turkish feZ.
 In the meanwhile the willy sultan was more than friendly Those of the foreign officers who could be reached in that way were loaded with rich presents. Some of these presents were undeniabiy of a kind that could be easily converted into cash. Others NCiC S3lNtiI LII IlllclllC hCNpl tlAtOllo anu honeyed speeches. It was quite no ticeable that many of the foreign off cers soon began to exhibit very little interest in the people whom they were sent to protect.

In word the news from Macedonia is that the champions of Christendom have come to blows, not with the assassins of the sultan, who are seeking to destroy the remnants of the congregation that St. Paul loved, but among themselves over a sordid question of political loot.

However, the statements made in the British parliament recently by government officials in regard to the Macedonian question go to show that there was something In the reports telegraphed some days ago about the possible disruption of the concert of the European powers and subsequent trouble in the near east.

England Hampered.

The English humanitarians are ham, pered in their work by the undeniable fact that through the action of the earl of Beaconsfield and Lord Sails bury at the Berlin congress, when they thwarted lgnatieff's plan of a greater Bulgaria, including a free Macedonia, England is primarily responsible for the present status of affairs. They are further hampered by the presence in Constantinople of an incompetent ambassador, who has given undeniable proofs of his want of capacity in such important posts as he has occupied in Sofia, in Pekin and in St. Petersburg.
 The first whisper of reform-in what we call Macedonia-came in vir- tue of the accord of 1879 between Aus tria and Russia, and their recognition by other European states as the pow CTS most directly concerned The ad- vice of the powers was accepted gracefully-it always is-by the sul- tan, and with the purpose of forestall- ing any possible drastic action the sultan himself drew up a program of reforms, and appointed that adroit diplomatist and profound student of human nature, Hussein Hilmi Pasha,

The story of the so-called reforms in Macedonia is a sad and a sordid one. Officially, at least, all Christen- dom with long pull and a pull alto eether,' has been unequal to the task of making the sick man of Europe" sit up, or of bringing the ''unspeakable Turk to book. In England alone of all the great powers interested, and indeed morally responsible for the horrors of daily and hourly occurrence in the luckless vilayets, is there any appreciation of the dreadful situation. Almost weekly the Macedonian com mittee, of which Lord Newton and Mir Gurney are the most active members, publish statistics setting forth as plainly as cold figures can make them, that the present laissez faire policy of the powers has only served to repro duce a tableau of what in the iron age the world must have been.

A Bloody instruction.

The result of the application of these paper reforms did not remain in doubt for more than week. Instead of the pacif1cation and a peace ap- preaching that of paradise, which the bureaucratic Russian count prophe- sled would descend upon the blood drenched land, came the most bloody and formidable insurrection that the rebellion-ridden country had ever seen. It required 300,000 of the best troops of the Ottoman forces to up hold Turkish authority, and even with this tremendous display of force, the Turks made but little headway against the insurrection until the fall, when many of the Bulgarian bands, yielding rather before the onset of winter than of the Turks, withdrew across the frontier.
 To bolster up their shattered pres tige in the Balkans, in consequence of the summers bloody work, the cZar of Russia and the emperor of Austria met at Muerzsteg in October. As a result of this imperial conference the intervention of Europe in Mace donian affairs became for the first time direct, but the results of the new course fell far short of eXpecta- tions, in the first place because of the wonderful ability of Hilmi Pasha to checkmate every move made by the agents of the powers, and in the sec ond because of the welI-nigh insupera- ble difficulty that was experienced in

inspector general of the disturbed provinces.
 The moment Hilmi Pasha arrived at Salonica to assume his herculean task the late Count Lamsdorff, the Russian minister for foreign affairs, set out for visit to the capitals of the Balkan peninsula. He visited Sofia and Bel grade, and advised the Servians as well as the Bulgarians to cultivate the more peaceful and above all more lawabiding methods in their Mace donian propaganda.
 Count Lamsdorff then proceeded to Vienna, where he had many confer ences with Count Goluchowski, the Austro-Hungarian minister of foreign affairs. Together they drew up an. other program of reforms, which was, of course, immediately accepted by the porte in February 1905 The details of the proposed reforms are unimportant here and now. They never passed beyond the paper stage. The integrity of the sultan's domin- ions and his unimpaired sovereignty were safeguarded by them, and in their proposals the powers remained well within the limits of policy de fined by that important article 23 of the treaty of Berlin.
