A Playwright Says Cycling Skirts

The discovery has been made in
Paris recently, that the Greeks 1000
years ago wore corsets and other ar

the New York Times. Nine. Paquin
and Jules Bots disclosed the fact in
the latter's play, La Furie," at the
Coincide Franchise, for which the IA

Oldest records. Jules Bots said to me:
There is really nothing new under

"LucKY" BALDwIN's LUCK.

California Miner Tells Of Incident In

At one time the wealth Of q. ].
("Lucky') Baldwin, the well known
turfman and miner, who recently died
at his California ranch. near Los An
geles, was estimated at $40 o0o. 600. but
his life was such that most Of It was
dissipated a few years ago, but his
sobriquet held good, and he had re-
gained considerable amount when he
died.
Baldwin, born In Butler county, O.,
April 3, 1928. became rover and adj
venturer in his early youth, and from
Indiana, where his family moved in
his childhood, wandered to Wisconsin,
where he had Just started grocery
business when the tales Of wealth to
be picked up quickly induced him to
start for California In 1862, three years
after the crst great rush to the gold
fields. Reaching San Francisco in
1853, Baldwin, though he had capital.
worked as day laborer until he de-
cided to start IN the hotel business and
later kept q livery stable. He made
money in his several ventures. but his
luck was not spectacular until there
came into his possession, as gift from
foreign consul whom Baldwin had
befriended, lucky ring, which the
grateful friend placed on his finger.
Baldwin then and ever afterward
laughed at the idea that he was lucky
and attributed his success to business
shrewdness, but he chung to the ring

Chicago Horse Market.

chicago, April 20.
The movement of horses gives evil
dence Of the arrival Of the spring trade
both in the volume of receipts and ur-
gency of demand. Many eastern deal
ers are at the auction executing orders,
and all Industrial classes clear freely
at steady prices. Big drafters in par
ticular meet broader inquiry at 1850
215, and up to $50 for extra weight and
finished offerings. Local demand is
broader and many WE'LL matched pairs
of drafters are taken by local consun-
ers at 45o@5o0, and one fancy pair
was negotiated at private sale yes
terday above 500. New England orders
for farm chunks at 130@17b and up
ward are Of large volume, and medium
weight chunks are firm at current
quotations. Drivers and gated sad
dlers are more active at 1500350, with
matched pairs of coachers clearing at
1000 800 and upward. All work Offer
ings are fairly active, except small
southern chunks, which clear slow at
a decline OF about 500. Spring trade
for commercial classes is steady.

lions for a parliament were held. The
new legislature was inaugurated Dec.
II. Since then the empire has been
ander 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
nnion and progress since 1905. The
cooperation OF the army was obtained
by means OF q successful secret propa-
ganda, and had not the sultan given
way when he did two army corps
would have marched on Constantine
pie.
The granting Of the constitution was
followed by the dismissal or fight 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
lstrative control, have aroused coun-
ter political sentiment which has crys-
tallized the opposition Of the Liberals.
The present grand vizier Of Turkey
Is Hilmi 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
r,lary showed the control by the
Young Turks party, which virtually
imposed on the sultan ministry of its
own nominees.
The Young Turks on Feb. IA public
~ repudiated any intention to over
throw the sultan or to install 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 OPP
posed Kiamil Pasha, Hilmi Pasha's
predecessor. It suspected him Of be-
ing too considerate Of palace influ-
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, IL 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 society Of them"

INDIAN MOTHERS SACRIFICE.
Cut Flesh From Her Body For Bait In
Order to Feed Her Children.

William P. McKirdy confirms the
story that an Indian woman living
north Of Port Arthur. Ont, cut flesh
from her body recently in an effort to
secure food for her children when they
were starving.
Mr.. Mckirdy says that the woman
and children were In desperate straits.
The last scrap Of food had been eaten
days before and, there was no game,
though the woman hunted until her
strength was gone.
In this pitiable condition she cut a
strip Of flesh from her body. This
flesh she used as bait with which to
catch fish and thus sustain life until
help arrived.
