SHIFTS BACK TO BULGARIA
Sery;a No Longer Danger Point in
Balkan Crisis.

Paris, Oct. 13.-Advices received
here rom French official sources in
dica;e that the danger point in the
Balkans has shifted back to Bulgaria.
While there is no confirmation of the
report that Bulgaria has delivered an
ultmatum to Turkey regarding the
recognition of her independen in
side of three days there ia reason to
believe that Bulgaria is determined to
make a move on Turkey in case the
pow ers persist in their refusal to ac-
cept her independence as an accom-
plished fact.
Ii is believed here that il the Bull
garian army crosses the Turkish from
tier Great Britain will land troops for
the protection Of Constantinople.

THE IRON CANE.
An Accessory Good for Muscles and
for Thugs

An 8StSsSoEg NVtN AoE l8uscies ana
for Thugs.
Among fashionable accessories Of the
masculine costume the very newest item
is the iron cane. 1t weighs possibly seven
and half pounds and is warranted es-
pecially desirable for citizens who reside
IN region afflicted with thugs
But this is only an incidental reason
for the iron cane. Its real purpose is as
an exercises. For the business man who
has little time for chest weights, dunn
bells, and all other devices for keeping
him in trim the cane may prove a boon.
II can be used as one walks in the open
air, and consequently is the city mans
nearest substitute for the natural exer-
else which comes from outdoor sports.
While walking along the cane may be
swung first in one hand and then in the
other so that development will be uni
form.
So If men OF somewhat portly build
or jaded. Overworked complexion or
otherwise afflicted with the signs Of city
confinement and lack Of exercise are OBJ
served during the next few months
promenading the city streets and grace
fully. lightly. airily swinging canes after
the manner of majOrd0mos. the spectacle
will not be caused by a sudden attack of
sDringtime gayety. IL will simply be the

MEREDITH'S DIANA"
Ap Episode In Fiction that Was
Founded Upon Fact.

In view Of the present widespread inter
est in George Meredith, occasioned by the
celebration the other day Of the veteran
novelists eightieth birthday, II is inter
esting to learn from Harper's Weekly the
true facts relating TO a famous incident
in one Of Merediths most widely read
novels, Diana Of the Crossways." It
viii be remembered that the most dra-
matte episode in the book is the sale TO
Tonans of Diana, pressed for money for
the maintenance OF her social position, "
Of state secret impaired TO her by Da-
cier, the statesman. Diana admits 10
Dacier that she sold hin: to the newspa-
pers because of her dire need of money -
According to a Meredith authority. this is
a defect in Diana's character, as no
woman would have given such a reason
for the betrayal OF her friend. true or
untrue
Diana Merton Is an historical character.
She was Caroline Norton, who was ac-
eused Of selling te the London Times a
state secret which she obtained from
Sydney Herbert. Meredith based his cpl
sode on what was regarded as a fact.
After the publication of Diana of the
Crossways' it was proved, however, that
Caroline Norton was innocent
