YANKEES ARE TO
| INVADE TURKEY
Industrial Promoters Seek Of
toman Empire Conces-
Sions Now.
WILL INVEST HUGE SUMS
INSTALL BIG RAILROAD AND
TELEPHONE svsTEMs-oTHe
ENTERPRISES.

Washington. d. c.. Aug. 1S.-An
American industrial invasion Of Tur-
key seems to be a near probability.
The department of state is in re-
ceipt of information to the effect that
efforts are being made by various
American enterprises to obtain con-
cessions in Turkey. which. II success.
full. will involve the outlay Of a con.
siderable amount Of our capital for
investment In the Ottoman empire.
Since the PRONUNCIATION of the
Turkish constitution In July. 1905. for
eign capitalists have been keenly in
terested in endeavoring to secure a
further share In the anticipated indus
trial awakening Of Turkey. The lack
OF adequate facilities of communica-
ton. and OF transit. lighting. telephone
plants. harbor and irrigation works.
gave reason to believe that the parlia.
mentary government would be ready
TO remedy these deficiencies.
The wave Of nationalism which late
ly has swept over the country has
caused many to believe that the Turk
ish government should itself manage
all enterprises Of quasi public ma.
ture. such as railroads and telephones.
However, the new minister of finance.
david Bey, q man Of talent and finan-
cial ability, 10 averse to such govern
ment ownership.
The minister of public works. in a
program recently published. was anx-
ious for a road to be built through the
central portion of Asia Minor. An
American company now Is endeavor-
ing to obtain this concession. At pre-
sent the government appears to be
favorably disposed to this project.
which II successfully carried out would
require the expenditure Of more than
500. zoo. 900.
Another American company is en-
deavoring to get the concession for
building q railroad from Alexandretta
to Aleppo. and thence to the head
waters of the Euphrates.
An electric company also is working
for the telephone concession of the
entire Ottoman empire as we'll as OF
Constantinople. Our recognized free
dom from political ambitions or de
sire for territorial aggrandiEement al
the expense Of Turkey causes Ameri
can enterprise to stand on a favorable
footing in comparison with that OF
other powers. .....

Cures for rheuma tism are almost as

SAW THE GHOST.
A Story That Stood the Test - q
Court Of Law.

A Story That Stood the Test - Q
Court Of Law.
As \ circumstan.ial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny OF q
court Of law Booty's case Is without
parallel. The date given is 1888. when
Mrs. Booty brought an action for sian
der against one Captain Baruaby for
what he had said Of her late husband.
According to an extract from . jour
nal produced in court. dated Friday.
May 16, 1887. the captain on that day
went ashore with a large party OF
friends to shoot rabbits upon Strombo-
Ii, the island on italy. which. from ita
ever burning crater. is called THE
lighthouse Of the Mediterranean" Al
about $50 in the afternoon two men
were seen running toward the volcano
which was emitting flames. Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed. Lord bless
me. the foremost is old Booty. my
next door neighbor." They then van
ished in the flames. a fact Of which
every one present took note.
Upon Captain Barnaby's return ia
England he learned that ''old Booty
had died Just about the time Of the
strange occurrence at Stromboli. He
then made the remark which was the
subject Of the action. that he had
seen old Booty running into the danes
Of hell pursued by the devil" Mrs
Booty claimed $1,000 a. damages. and
the case came on in the kings bench
before the chief Justice. Sir Robert
Wright. For the defense. in addition
to the testimony Of Captain BarnabJ
and his friends. old Booty's clothes
were brought into court and Identified
by several witnesses as being similar
to those worn by the foremost mar
who ran into the crater-even to the
peculiar buttons on the coat. The
Judge was 30 impressed by this evil
dence that he said: Lord have mercy
upon me and grant that may nevel
zee what you have seen. One. two OF
three may be mistaken, but not thir
