SULTAN GIVES UP.
Garrison Surrenders to Young Turk
Army After Fight.

Garrison Surrenders to Young Turk
Army After Fight.
Constantinople, April 26.-The Yil-
diz garrison surrendered yesterday to
the Constitutionalists.
The commanders of these battalions
began sending notices of their submits
sion to Mahamoud Schefket Pasha Sat
urday night, and the troops protecting
the palace gave their formal and uncon-
ditional surrender shortly after dawn.
Sultan Abdul Hamid has been per.
mitted to remain within the Yil-
diz Kiosk, where in company with his
ministers he heard the story of the
struggle between his loyal troops anc
the army of investment, each hour
bringing word of fresh disaster.
1t has been stated, since victory
rested with the Constitutionalists, that
the sultan himself gave orders to his
men not to resist. Whether or moi
this is true, it can be safely said Of
the troops within the capital that they
put up a stubborn resistance at al
points and the losses on both sides are
exceedingly heavy for the length Of
time the engagement was in progress

nunities West of Rockies.

Chicago, April 27.-Acting upon the
suggestion of the Interstate Commerce
commission, traffic officials of the Har-
riman and Hill roads are trying to
work out comprehensive scheme of
freight rates which shall apply from
the Middle West to interior Pacific
Coast points.
The suggestion was offered by the
commission in the Spokane rate case
decision, and is being acted upon by
the railroads in spirit of concession
to public opinion. All of the high
traffic officials of the Hartman lines
are in Chicago working vigorously over
what they declare to be the most diff
cult problem they have ever undertake
en- to work out; a plan of transconti-
mental freight rates which shall please
all shipping communities.
The Spokane rate case decision fixed
the rates only from st. Paul and Chi
cago to Spokane, and suggested that
the lines get together and agree upon
an adjustment of rates to intermediate
points. j. c. Stubs, traffic manager
of the Hartman lines, said,
at is the most difficult task we have
ever undertaken. We hope to be able
to work out scheme of rates not only
in the Spokane case, but for all the
West, which will prove acceptable tc
the commission.

ABDUL TO LOSE CROWN.
Young Turks Decide That He Must
Abdicate Throne.

Constantinople, April 27.-The de-
position of Sultan Abdul Hamid ap-
pears now to be certain, and the 101
guns saluting Mohammed Rechad Eff
fendi as the new ruler of the empire
probably will be heard before the next
selamlik on Friday. The dignitaries
of the church care as little for Abdul
Hamid as does the committee of union
and progress, but the higher clergy are
seeking to curb the agitation of the
enthusiasts of the Mohammedan
league.
A caucus of senators and deputies
today determined to make an effort to
try to compel the sultan to abdicate
under the ecclesiastical law, by the
terms of which decree may be issued
by the sheik III islam pronouncing the
sultan incapable of ruling.
Mohammed Rechad Effendi, the heir
apparent to the throne, has lived prac-
tically prisoner for 25 years in the
large palace and gardens not far from
the Yildig Kiosk. Since the July revo-
luton he has only been on the streets
looking through some of the carriages
upon the scenes in the thoroughfsres,
which must have been strangely in
teresting to him. He is gray haired
and not very strong. He is Go years
old, and we'll educated, although mex.
perienced in the affairs of the world.

POLICE AT BARGAIN RIOT.
Three Thousand New York Women
IN Rush for Cheap Goods.

Three Thousand New York Women
in Rush for Cheap Goods.
New York, April 26.-Upwards of
5000 women Saturday engaged in one
of the fiercest bargain riots at Broad
way and Suydan streets, Williamsburg,
that the Brooklyn police have ever
been called upon to quell. The trouble
was caused by literally advertised sales
by rival five and ten-cent stores, locat-
ed within few doors of each other.
These sales were advertised to begin
at $3.50 o'clock, but long before 7
o'clock women began to arrive and
crowd about the unopened stores.
Women from every quarter of Williams
burg arrived to swell the crowd. When
the doors opened at the designated
hour. according to the reckoning of the
police, more than 5000 were packed
into Broadway. With a rush they
forced their way into the stores.
So great was the crush from those
who were struggling to be among the
first to gain admission, that scores of
women fell in faint and were tram
pied by women who followed. Police
reserves were called out to quell the
riot. Mounted men rode through the
crowd, and by using their clubs were
finally able to force the women back.

VALUE OF SEPTIC TANKS.
Many Odors and Germs May Be Dis

Many Odors and Germs May Be Dis
pensed With by Their Use.
Ex-President Roosevelt's farmers
commission, appointed for the purpose
of investigating and reporting upon the
conditions of the great farming indus
try of our country, found that one of
the greatest disadvantages the farming
community has to contend with, owing
to the absence of proper sewerage, was
the unsanitary conditions surrounding
the homes.
Now this same condition prevails not
only upon the farm but also in small
towns and suburbs of cities where there
are no sewers or water works, and
where the people have to depend upon
wells for their water supply.
Usually these homes have a well at
the rear of the house, near the kitchen
door. A few feet further will probab-
ly be an old style toilet, standing over
an unwalled vault dug few feet into
the ground. The greasy waters and
Stops from the kitchen are either con-
veyed by pipe from the sink to no e
in the ground, or empited into the back
yard to purify and from which the
swarms of flies, attracted by the OBJ
noxious oders from this decaying mass
on the ground and in the toilet, carry
disease and death into the house, as
bees carry pollen from flower to flower.
In the winter seasons we do not have
the germ carrying flies to pollute our
food, but we have an agent equally as
pad in the rains, which saturate the
earth and carry the seepage from these
polluted places down through the
ground, uniting with and constantly
communicating the we'll water with ty-
phoid and other germs.
All of these dangers can be overcome
at comparatively small expense by
the installation of a properly designed
and constructed septic tank, with a
glazed verified sewerage system con-
Meeting the house and toilet with the
same. The tank being practically
buried in the ground and dramatically
sealed, with the inlet and outlet pipes
beneath the water, there can be no
oders escape from it. Even the water
from the outlet, or overflow, of tie
tank is clear, odorless and germless,
all of which are owing to the fact that
the specific gravity of all vegetable
and animal matter entering the tank
with its germs, odors, etc., cause it to
| float to the surface of the water, which
! is always maintained at a considerable
distance above the overflow. Here il
floats undisturbed while in it certain
microbes develop which devour and de-
stroy it. A system of this kind can be
put in without investing in high priced
plumbing goods or the services of 6
plumber, as it is constructed principal.
ly of concrete and sewer piping. Any
handy man should be able to install it
If a septic tank system was properly
installed at such places as described il
this article, those homes would be al
sanitary as a home in the city.

Telescone to Study Mars.

Berlin, April 26.-The construction
of an enormous telescope, especially
designed for the particular use to

Mars is inhabited. DIR. Archenbold re-

worth trial, but he thinks way will be

STRINGS MEET THE BOW.

which is operated by one Of the keys
on the piano keyboard. Across these
strings runs a travelling band, which
performs the functions OF a bow. ex-
cept that In the case OF this instru-
ment the strings come out to meet the
bow instead Of the bow moving back
and forth from the strings. Each
string is attached to pivoted arm. and
as the key is struck the arm moves out
ward and the string comes in contact
with the travelling band, producing the
sound OF a bow scraping a fiddle
string. A spring pulls the arm back
into place when the pressure on the
key is relieved and a pedal at the bot
tom Of the instrument regulates the
sound.

The town contains about 800 inhabit-

result of the storm. A terrific rain
and hail storm followed the tornado,

With all the hopes of future years,

What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel
Who made each mast and sail and rope.
What anvils rang, with hammers beat,
In what forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock.
IT'S of the wave and not the rock;
'Tis but the tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made oy the gale.
In spite of rock and tempest's roar.
In spite OF false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea.

Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee are all with thee
