BULGARIAN EYE
ON MACEDONIA
Recent Raids Are ASCribed to
Gar Ferdinand.
TURKEY may take ACTION.
Ruler Said to Be Industrious In Work
of His country's Advancement,
Though Credited With Too Much
High Living In Vienna and Paris by
His Hardworking Subjects.

Though Credited With Too Much
High Living In Vienna and Paris by
His Hardworking Subjects.
liking of the Comitadjis' is a title
that the wits of eastern Europe have
long loosely applied to Ferdinand,
cZar of the Bulgars. The Comitadjis
are m%ountaineer f~reebooters who live
by tribute levied on villages they raid.
Macedonia has of late been their
chosen field for depreciation.
Coincident with rumors that Ferdi-
nand is planning to occupy that prov
ince on the ground that it is in a state
of chronic disturbance, now come
charges that the Comitadjis are real
~ protected by the government, that
the raids into Macedonia are designed
to give Ferdinand pretext for planting
his W rule there in place Of that of
Turkey and that the title devised by
the wits is not a facetious misnomer,
but a true definition.
Ferdinand Outfits Raiders.
These charges have been printed in
several newspapers of known relia-
bility, who promise to back them up
with proofs. 1t is alleged that the gov
eminent has been arming these bands
of raiders. Specifications in support
Of that count of the Indictment are
also promised. The government denies
the charges and affects to make light
of them, but they have made a pro-
found political sensation and are gen.
orally believed by the people.
Whatever the facts may be, these
publications disclose the unpopularity
of Ferdinand with his subjects. There
have long been murmurs of discomfort
over his fashion of dispensing with
parliament most of the time in order
that his w sway may be unchecked.
Many think he spends money too free
ly in Paris and Vienna while the mass
es have hard work to make both ends
meet.
Gar Is Industrious.
The truth is that the car is en-
tremely industrious and most ambi-
tious for the betterment of his people,
but the majority could not be so con-
WINGED in their present temper toward
him.
Should Turkey take a notion to de-
clare war on these charges of inter-
ference any possible question as to Ill
innate rule in Macedonia would be set
tied quickly. Even without war Fer
dinand seems in the way of being
made to look foolish in the eyes of
Europe if other governments give cred
it to the charges.

Curie she has continued the investiga-

Not long ago Nine. Curie received the

LIVERY time you are knocked owe

Hope for the best until something
better turns up.
A firm determination has its work to
do when it meets up with a run Of bad
luck.
Don't talk about your evil fortune.
The world is fond of cheer up stories.
Shirk and the world shirks with you;
work and you toll alone.
Don't tell your story to every ear
that is handy. Some may charge for

There may be exemplary men who
are not on the level. They may he en-

Some experiences are so bitter that
it is a shame not to get some good out

AFTER HoHoEs
Railroad Officials Intend to Stop
 SteaIina-Others Also at Fault.

The detective force of the New Ha- ven railroad is keeping a sharp look out just now for trespassers upon rail- road property in the vicinity of the freight yards. Hoboes are occasional visitors and when they are unnoticed for any length of time in the vicinity of an unlocked car that contains any thing portable it is goodbye to the unprotected property.
 The hobo is not the only offender, bad as his reputation is. The collec- tors of driftwood and coal, who pay regular visits to the yards, have not always been found above temptation. Quite recently car belonging to the Cudahy Packing company, consigned to the branch house in this city, was entered after the beef had been re- moved. and thirteen beef racks and hooks were taken. The pIunder was not very portable or valuable. but the railroad company was compelled to make 1t good to the packers, a claim having been made against it. No trace was found of the thieves.
 Within a relatively short time, a passenger coach standing in the yards in this city was entered by tramps and set on fire, being entirely destroy ed It Is for these reasons that the railroad special agents and police have no love for the hobo--Waterbury Re- publican.

When this tube is in named you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor mal condition hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Worthy of Them.

All Connecticut sympathizes with New Haven in the tragedy that came to it when the jail was burned and six brave firemen lost their lives. They were, indeed, heroes of peace. They made the sacrifice that sometimes is called for in the line of duty. Sad as the affair is, and heavier still the blow to the families of the heroic nremen, there is satisfaction in the fact that men still face their work, however deadly, unfiinchingly. There Is also consolation in the spirit of appreciation shown and the readiness to assist the stricken families. The firemen were brave and their friends are generous. New Haven will not permit the fami- lies of her dead firemen to suffer nor their deeds to be forgotten. Therein she is worthy of them.-Bristol Press.
