CONsTANTINoPLE. June g. The
fallen Sultan Abdul Hamid is beginning

prison villa at Saloniki

girls. aged fourteen and fifteen years. re-

In the meantime. extraordinary discov-
cries have been made in Yildiz Kiosk
and go far to prove the many strange
stories told of Abdurs queer devices to
protect his life and wealth.
To get the safes open a clever lock-
smith was brought from Pera- AS soon
as he began to work on one OF them he
warned all present to stand away, as he
feared an explosion.

apartments Of the palace with his hands
fastened and soldiers all round him. All
advances were made with utmost precau-

which he could let those accompanying

In that part Of the palace where the
sultan resided there were found rooms

There were also lay figures found rep
resenting Abdul Hamid, and admirably
made. They were used to hide his pres
ence in one part of the palace, being
placed so as to give the idea to people
outside that he was reading in a certain
room or sleeping.
In one Of the greatest cellars were found

REPUBLICANS NOMINATE ROTAN
GIBBONEY MAY SECURE DEMO-
CRATIC NOMINATION.
William Penn Party Candidate for
District Attorney Of Philadelphia
Fails to Win Republican Primary.

PHILADELPHIA, June 5.-Interest in
the primary elections in this city today
centered about the candidacy for the nomi-
nation for district attorney OF D. Clarence
Gibboney, head Of the Philadelphia Law
and Order Society. and prominent leader
in the reform battles that have been
waged against the local republican organi-
zation.
Under the law the primary elections OF
all parties were held today.
Mr. Gibboney is a member of the Will
liam Penn party, the reform organization
of the city. He was placed on its bal
lot for the nomination for district at
torney.
Some of his followers ~lso placed him
on the republican and democratic parties
by petition. AS there were no candidates
against him in the William Penn party, he
had a walkover for that nomination.
Samuel p. Rotan, the present district
attorney, was the candidate of the repub-
lican organization for denomination He
was named by good majority, although
Mr.. Gibboney received large number OF
republican votes
The returns. which are coming In slow
ly, show that the reformer has given
Edgar w. Lank a close run for the demo
cratic nomination.
The raising of street car fare by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company from
six rides for a quarter to straight D
cents, and the strike of the trolley men
complicated political conditions. 1t was
expected that the events Of the last week
would help Mr.. Gibboney to reduce the
Rotan vote.
The city of Philadelphia Is a partner
In the rapid transit company. The repub-
lican leaders refused to use their influence
to prevent the raising Of the street car
fares.
The election for district attorney will be
held in November. The battle will be be-
tween Mr.. Gibboney and District Attorney
Rotan.
The several parties also named candi-
dates for city treasurer. register of wills
and other Offices.
Kotan's Majority Only 5000.
Returns up to 12:45 am. show that
Rotan won the republican nomination by
a majority of only about 5000. Gbboney
carried more than a dozen wards. which
is considered q great achievement in
view of the fact that he did not have the
support Of the republican organization for
the nomination.
The latest figures show that Gibboney
has q majority for the democratic noml-
nation. Taking Gibboney's total vote on
all tickets he has a plurality of about
5000 over Rotan.

SQUALLS AND MEALS.

Intimate Connection Between Thsss
Two Events In a Baby's Life.
The idea that babies squall BY nat
ure, as a matter OF habit or out Of
pure cussedness, is both a delusion
and a base SANDER on the baby, says
DR.. Woods Hutchinson. whenever q
baby squalls, he says, it is some
grown-up's fault. A farmer who
would hear his cherished hogs squeal.
Ing in their fattening pens would
promptly 'call down" the hired man
whose duty 1t was to feed them. A
baby does not want very much
at time, but he does like it regular.
And when you have once. by little

as to amount and frequency-about
two ounces every two hours is a fair
average to begin with-then his little
life will be one peaceful sequence Of
eating and sleeping, sleeping and eat

little fuss or disturbance as a tulip
makes when It IS pushing up It's green
pencil through the brown earth.
The regularity recommended should
be the baby's kind Of regularity. not
that of the grown-ups who have him

that cries much has been unlucky in
Its parents or Its nurse. The idea that

Consumption and The Telephone.

The panic recently created on the
subject OF the assumed danger lurlr
ing In the transmitter Of the teie-
phone is not precisely new. 1t is
but the development OF a fear which
has caused misgiving for some years
On the suppositiOn that various
germs Of disease probably collect in
the receiver and transmitter Of the
instrument. at any rate In public
telephone stations, some medical
alarmists have thrown out sugges-
tions that antiseptics, both in q dry
state AID In solution. should be ap-
piled for the safety Of the telephone
user. The recent dictum goes one
step further, inasmuch as It is now
an established fact that tubercle
baeiili. the casual micro-organisms
Of consumption. have been found
alive and in robust condition-in the

PRICES SOAR
WHEAT GOES TO $1.53, BREAKING
RECORDS OF YEARS PAST.
WHEAT VERY SCARCE

Wheat is now being bought at $1.5S
bushel.
This is a record price according to
Hi Shaub, local grain man.
1t is the highest price ever paid
for wheat for the last fourteen years.
During the Spanish war
wheat took a flyer and went pretty
high, but not as high as it is now
quoted.
THE demand for the visible supply"
is the reason assigned by Mr.. Shaub
for the high price. Saturday was
known as unloading day" for May
deliveries of wheat on the stock mar
ket.
1t was generally supposed that there
would be slump then but contrary to
expectations wheat held up its price
of $l.49 per bushel.
81 do not think the price will be
lowered much before the wheat har-
vest" said Mr.. Shaub.
"The supply is practically controlled
by grain dealers and is stored in ele-
vators. Farmers have very little
wheat on hand.
"In fact, farmers who sold me their
wheat at 81 are now buying -four at a
greatly advanced price. They are
kicking themselves now because they
let their wheat go at that price"
The new crop has not matured and
from reports from foreign markets the
wheat crop will not be large.
Big mills all ocer the country are
begging for wheat. Some mills have
closed down on account of it.
Mr.. Shaub STATED that the price OF
-four would naturally advance with
the price of the cereal.
