A representative of the News has

visit to California.
Concerning the reports that the

pains to find out the truth of the mat

sicians had given him up, but she
reeled off as of no moment the names

oyered. One case was particularly
interesting. 1t was case of Brights
Disease in which the young man was
so impressed that nothing could be
done that he had to be tricked into
taking the new specific. Each time
dose was administered a tablespoonful
of his old medicine was secretly dis.
posed of, thus allaying suspicious. To
cOmplicate matters as the young man
recovered, the physician became elat
ed, thinking he had discovered cure
for Bright's disease. 1t was not I'M
til the patient was so well along to-
ward recovery that there was no I'M

was disclosed. One of San Francis

his own recovery and made the as

TEMPLE FOR THE BAHAIS.

eaha'o'lIah's Followers Plan to Own
Their Own Building In United States.
Such progress has been made by the
Bahai movement In the United States
that the New York delegates who re-
turned recently from Chicago. where
the first general convention was held,
report that the American followers of
Baha'O'llah are now planning to erect
a great temple of their faith.
This will be the first edifice Of the
kind on the continent and the second
one In the world. 1t will be In or
near Chicago. Its architecture will be
a departure from all existing forms,
but viii not be eastern. as might be
supposed from the oriental origin of
the religion.
Mountford Mills, one OF the leaders
In the movement In New York, said
on his return that the Bahai move
ment was constantly gaining follow
ers and that all parts OF the United
States. as well as Canada and Hawaii.
were represented at the convention.
There are five groups Of Bahais in
New York.
The object Of the movement is the
religious uniHcation Of the world. The

Ing "the door," He was prosecuted
and six years later put to death by
the Persian government on being con-

The real founder OF the faith, BAHIA

followers were sent to Acre az pris-
oners. To him the Bahais refer rev.
erently as 'he Of Acre" The present
head Of the faith is the son Of BAHIA
o-llah, known as Abbas E6tendi, who
was born on May %, 1874, on the
very day that the Bah proclaimed the
coming Of the Promised One.

Wild Cattle Pest In c.IitorC,,.

Much has been written lately about
wild horses infesting certain mountain
ranges OF the west and menacing the
interests Of stockmen. Now comes a
report from a district In the Shasta
national forest OF California that wild
cattle have become a nuisance. These
animals are the descendants Of domes-
tic cattle, but. having run without re-
straint for several generations. have
become as wild as deer. Stockmen
will not apply for ranges infested by
these cattle, since tame cattle soon
adopt the habits Of their Wild rela-
tives and become equally unmanage-
able. 1t Is impossible to gather young
stock In the fall which have run
with these animals even for a season.
The majority OF the stockmen desire
to shoot them. but certain mountain
dwellers claim them and shoot an oc-
casiOnal one for winter beef. The for
est officers will. In conjunction with
the stOckmen interested, investigate
the matter this summer and decide
upon some plan Of Kidding the ranges
OF this pest.

The last scrap Of food had been eaten

flesh she used as bait with which to
catch fish and thus sustain life until

NEW REGIME M TURKEY.
Young Turks Party's Effort to Bring
About Popular Rule.

About Popular Rule.
Turkey, which was recently the
scene Of an uprising against the Young
Turks party. is at the beginning Of her
first serious attempt at popular gov.
eminent. A constitution was granted
the country July "a, 1908. by the sui
tan, under the terms Of which ele1
lions for a parliament were held. The
new legislature was inaugurated Dec.
IL. Since then the empire has been
under constitutional administration.
The hand Of the sultan was forced.
and he was obliged to give the country
constitution, by the Young Turks.
who had been particularly active un-
der the leadership Of the committee Of
union and progress since 1905. The
cooperation Of the army was obtained
by means Of successful secret propa-
ganda, and had not the sultan given
way when he did two army corps
pile.
The granting OF the constitution was
followed by the dismissal or flight Of
various members Of the palace faction
and the installation Of officials dictated
by the successful insurgents. Since
the first days Of its success the course
OF the committee Of union and prog
ress has been dictatorial, and the pO-
litical activities of the Young Turks.
particularly in the direction OF admin
istrative control, have aroused a cOun-
ter political sentiment which has crys-
tallized the opposition Of the Liberals.
The present grand vizier Of Turkey
is Hilml Pasha, who was appointed
Feb. IA In succession to Kiamil Pasha.
Hilmi Pasha was formerly minister of
the interior and before that served as
inspector general Of Macedonia. Ali
Ria Pasha is Hilmi Pasha's minister
Of war. He holds also the marine
portfolio and is grand master Of artil-
lery These and the other changes in
the cabinet which took place in Feb
ruary showed the control by the
Young Turks party. which virtually
imposed on the sultan a ministry Of its
own nominees.
The Young Turks on Feb. II public
ly repudiated any intention to over
throw the sultan or to install a mill
tary dictatorship, but the crisis and its
outcome were then regarded as not
promising well for the stability Of the
throne or the success OF the parlia-
mentary government. The committee
Of union and progress consistently Op-
posed Kiamil Pasha, Hilmi Pasha's
predecessor. 1t suspected him Of be-
ing too considerate OF palace infiu-
ences and complained Of his slowness
In conducting the negotiations with
Austria Hungary and Bulgaria.
The Young Turks have fallen in the
estimation of many Turks in the Unit
ed States, and the present movement
is looked upon as quietly presaging the
overthrow Of that dictatorial party. 1t
Is declared that despotism exists in
ConstantinOple under the new order as
great, II not greater, than ever before.
The feeling was expressed by n.
Mokarzel, editor Of the Al HOda. a
daily newspaper OF New York:
"Armenians, Syrians. Mohammedans
these people have no show. The
Young Turks have granted no consid-
Grafton to the Christian element Of the
empire. They have become despOtic.
The only difference is that where once
we had to deal with only one despOt
now we have a society OF them"
