DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Four Buildings Destroyed in Fierce
Blaze There Saturday Night
Four Horses Perish.

-Four buildings were swept away by
fire and valuable property threatened
near the center of the town of Will
Transport on Saturday night. The
large livery stable Of Schnebly Bros.
and stables owned by Charles s.
Charlton and Mrs. Annie Lemen and
another small building owned by Mrs.
Lemen, were burned, with nearly all
their contents.
Four horses perished in Schnebly
Bros stable, two of them being own
ed by the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company and the other
two belonging TO Schnebly Bros. Sew
eral hogs, a number of chickens and
harness, feed and other contents were
destroyed.
The fire started at Mr.. Charlton's
stable. The origin is not known. Two
OF the burned buildings were log
structures and formed a part Of the
old Williamsport tannery. Several
horses and a number of buggies and
sleighs were saved. The loss, which
will probably reach $4,000, is partly
covered by insurance.
Hagerstown was asked to send as
sistance to help fight the fire, and in
response to the appeal the Junior Fire
Company and the Antietam Fire Com
|pany arrived there on a special train
at 2 O'Clock, and, with an engine and
hose. rendered valuable aid to the
local hremen and citizens.
The fire was the worst Williams
port has had for many years.

A MILLION BASKETS
OF JUICY PEACHES
Estimated That the Crop In Eastern
Panhandle Will Be Worth More
Than Half Million Dollars.

Fruit experts who have just com
pleted a tour of the peach growing
section of the Eastern Panhandle of
this state declare that the crop this
year will be the greatest ip the his
tory of this famous fruit growing
country.
The fruit was not injured by the
early frosts and there was very little
June drop and the consequence is
that the growers are going to have
more peaches than they anticipated.
At the lowest calculation it is said
there will be a million baskets har-
vested and sent to the markets. Some
think that there will be more fruit
than this # the growers can handle
it when the harvest begins.
There viii not be so many thousand
baskets Of early peaches and the big
crop will commence to come in the
latter part of August. With this mil
lion-basket crop the growers of this
section will have a rich harvest. 1t
is figured that they should net at
least so cents to the basket and that
will NEAR a half million dollars. Two
years ago the Bank of Romney alone
added $4,000 to its deposits from the
peach crop of that section.
With the large apple crop following,
the fruit industry of the Eastern Pan
handle should u close to a million
and a half. Berkeley county will have
~pprobably the largest income from the
apple crop while Hampshire and
Morgan counties will have the bulk

HAIL TWO c DEEP.
Storm Cuts Swath Two Miles Wide
THROUGH Rockbridue County.

Lexington, Va, June 27.-Reports
have been received here of a destruc-
tive storm, accompanied by hail,
which swept a two-mile-wide swath
from northeast to southwest through
the western section of ~Rockbridge
county late Friday afternoon.
The destruction of wheat is so CON-
plete that many farmers will not even
attempt to cut. Corn, fruit and gar
dens were also badly damaged.
Hail ranged in size from hickory
nuts to guina eggs and was two
inches deep in some localities.

TAFT PASSES ON CASES
WHILE AT ELLIS ISLAND
Sends Immigrant, Held for Physical
Disability, and Eight Children,
to Pittsburg.

NEW YORK, October 19.-After Presi-
dent Taft had taken a quick survey of
the immigrant station at Ellis Island yes
terday he went to the Office of William
Williams, commissioner. and personally
participated in the examination of dozen
cases taken there upon appeal. He sent
a father, held for physical disability, with
a motherless family of eight, on his way
to Pittsburg and made suggestions in
other cases.
What Charles Nagel. Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, calls 1.-The live wire of
my department" caught the President in
it's grip of human interest. He stood for
ten minutes watching the physicians ex-
amining immigrants who arrived on board
the Finland Of the Red Star line, and
then asked to be taken farther with those
who had been marked for special investi-
CATION. This led him to room where the
men under suspicion were stripped and
compelled to submit to rigid physical in
Specton.
Acting on Information gathered yester-
day the President will take up with Sec
rotary Nagel new legislation to prevent
separation of families. He also favors an
increase in the responsibility of steamship
companies bringing to the United States
immigrants who cannot pass the test.

door and will resume the mass that was
interrupted 457 years ago.
1t is quite remarkable that the Turks
themselves have similar belief. Near
one of the old mosques in STEAMBOAT is
sacred spring containing curious species
of fish that are brown on one side and
white on the other. According to popular
tradition the ancestors of those fish were
being fried in the 'imaret' or soup
kitchen, such as is attached to every
church. by an old woman, when she was
interrupted BY the Turkish invaders. The
fish. already half fried. jumped out of
remain until the present day with the
miracle attached to them. And it is the
belief Of the people that they will remain
there until the city is recovered by the
Christians.
In courtyard of the Veffa Mosque
there fiourshes an ancient willow, tree
with its trunk and branches half con-
cealed by climbing roses. At its foot is
grave covered by slab of white marble.
1t bears no inscri2tion, but every night
the hodja, or janitor of the mosque. places
a lighted lamp upon it and removes it in
the morning. 1t is popularity believed that
this slab covers the remains of the last
Greek emperor who was overthrown by
Muhammad ii, and that he will rise from
the dead when the Greeks again recover
control of the city.
The Russians call Constantinople
"Tsaregrad." which means 1.-The cars
withheld from their emperor.
Symbol Permitted to Remain.
In the transformation of st. Sophia
from Christian cathedral to a Moham-
medan mosque the Turkish architects
purposely permitted one sign of the cross,
the symbol of Christ, to remain where it
was chiseled in the marble pediment
above the southern entrance. Within the
| mosque, in a room off one of the gal
leries are several precious relics which
were venerated by the Christians before
the Turkish invasion They include what
is claimed to be the manger in which
Jesus was born and basin in which He
was bathed when an infant. Both these
and other relies, according to tradition,
were brought from eBthlehem to Con-
stantinople in the fourth century, when
the first Temple Of ST. Sophia was built,
by Constantine the Great, but no price
or persuasion has ever been able to re-
cover them.
The Turkish government is under obi
cations to keep st. Sophia under repair.
because several generations ago, when
one of the sultans was bankrupt he seiz-
ed the endowments, which amounted to
many millions of piasters, for his own
purposes and pledged the government tc
pay annually an amount equal to the
interest. which has not been done with
any regularity.

Features of New Policy.

The sheik-el-islem, who, as / have said,
is the spiritual head of the Mohamme-
dams. as member of the Turkish cabinet
is equally responsible with his colleagues.
At least. he has assented to the repeated
violation of the teachings of the Koran
and the traditional policy of the leaders
of that faith by voting money for the es-
Establishment of free public schools
throughout Turkey by paying the ex-
penses of educating Mohammedan young
men and women in Christian schools and
colleges, by permitting Jews and Chris
tians to serve in the army and by doing
all sorts of extraordinary things that
were never done before. and which would
have resulted in holy war if they had
been attempted twenty, or even ten years
ago.
All this has zone beyond recall There
may be reactionary movements in TIE
future. 1t cannot be expected that so
radical a change shall occur i'm the life
of a nation of more than thirty-five mil
lion population without friction and irrl-
tation. and there may be backward slips
in the future, but the constitution is cs-
tablished permanently, and religious
freedom is its fundamental principle.
No one should object to the repair of
the mosques. Indeed. sentimental and his
torical interest should be manifested

Position Taken by Old Sultan.

The old sultan. Abdul Hamid, did prac-
ton. At the opening of parliament,
which he was compelled by the Young
Turk party TO summon. in 1908 he said:
When | first proclaimed a constitution,
thirty-twO years ago, there were many
difficulties in the way of its execution,
and | was obliged to suspend it momen-
tarily. In the interval great efforts were
made toward popular education and for
the establishment of institutions of ma
ture calculated to elevate the public in
telligence. i am happy now to state that
the people are more able to understand
the benefits of the constitution, and
was heartily glad to restore it, nOtwith-
trary. Ny will is definite and unalter-
able. and henceforth the constitution will
regulate the affairs of the nation"
There is a monstrous falsehood in every
sentence of his eX-majesty speech.
There is not one word of truth in the en-
tire paragraph. He did not mean any
thing that he said. and was compelled to
say 1t to save his throne, which was after
ward forfeited by his insincerity and an
attempt to do exactly contrary to what
he promised in this speech. Nevertheless,
as the recognized head of the Moslem
world-as the highest authority-he in
the Ottoman empire, which recognizes the
equality of Moslens, Christians and Jews
before the law. and guarantees them the
same rights and privileges, civil and re-
ligious. 1t is not mere federation that the
of Turkey gives. but religious
freedom, equal to that enjoyed in the
United States or any other nation.

FAMOUS MOTHER OF MOSQUES"

Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
ONSTANTINOPLE. September IL, 1910.
So much has been said about the I'M
friendly attitude of the young Turks to-
ward the established religion that the new
government is taking the trouble to re-
pair several of the most conspicuous
mosques as evidence of it's loyalty to the
prophet. This is a matter of policy, how
ever. rather than zeal, for while it can
not truthfully be said that the leaders
of the recent revolution and those in con-
troll of the present government of Turkey
are unbelievers, the great majority of
them like other educated Turks, have
lost their faith and have abandoned their
religious duties. They are no more
friendly to Islam than the present ad-
ministration of France is friendly to the
Roman church, although the sultan goes
through the forms of worship every Fri
day, his predecessors have always
done, and continues to claim the prestige
and authority of the Califate, or head OF
the MOhammedan organization.
The sheik-el-islam. the spiritual head
of the MCslem world. is a member of the
present ministry and is cordially sup
porting the government in its present pol
icy. In a proclamation he has assured
the faithful that parliamentary govern
ment is not forbidden by the Koran. and
that Jews, Greeks and Christians are en-
titled to the same civil rights and privi-
legeS as themselves. He has justified
their admission to the Turkish army, in
which no Christian has ever served be-
fore. and has placed Islam officially on

party.

King Hog Makes Lucky Farmer Glad

In the first half of 1910 receipts at
the previously mentioned markets
were 100000 In other words.
growing population was fed on as per
cent. Of the hogs that were consumed
in the aFst six months Of 1909. The
direct effect OF the decrease in hog
receipts. while the population was I'M
questionably increasing, was a sharp
advance In market value Of swine.
At the Kansas City stockyards the
average cost Of hogs fer the first six
months Of 1909 was sG64 per hun
dredweight. In the first half Of 1910
the average cost at the same market
was 1891. showing a gain Of s2s7 per
hundredweight, or about 30 per cent
At all the other markets the advance
in prices was practically equal to that
at Kansas City. Thus, with q de-
crease OF 25 per cent IN receipts and,
according to the popular belief. many
more mouths to feed, there came an
increase 10 the market value Of hogs
of 40 per cent. II may be interesting
TO note that the average cost OF all
weights and all kinds OF hogs at the
Kansas city yards during the first
half Of the present year was 81 cents
greater than the highest price ever
paid at those yards previous to 1910.
