DROWNED THURSDAY EVENING.
Louis Prue of Hop River Believed to Be at Bottom of Wilimantic River.

Louis Prue aged about 40. Of Hop River, is believed to have been drown ed in the Willimantic river Thursday evening. Two boys, Bernard Potter and his chum. an Adams boy, living on Card street, found a stray boat on the river without an occupant and minus an oar. The boat was drifting down stream It contained two pints of gin. The boys reported the finding of the boat to Captain Richmond of the police and he with the boys rowed up the river, making a careful search as far as the bridge, but no trace of Prue, who was known to have occupied the craft, earlier in the evening, could be found.
 Up to g. late hour Thursday evening the missing man could not be located It is thought probable that his body
 ow lies at the bottom of the river having become entangled in the roots of trees along the banks.

Watch Your Adverh.

We like the purist. He it is who in the midst of the most heated national debates. when the whole country is sleepless over the issues which are rending it. calls attention to the fact that the president or the speaker, or the second assistant auditor of vast Q baskets has split an iunnitive. Or when financial purist tells us how pained he is that the panic has unset tied business and we are being paid ia cashiers certificates, the secretary of the treasury insists on putting A proposition at the end of a sentence.
 He has broken out again--in the New York Post, of course. IL is the mispfacing of the adverb this time. Some newspaper headliner placed over MT. Tafts speech the words: MT. Taft constantly was interrupted by ap- plause." This puts the purist into sackcloth and ashes. "The worst of- fense of all," he says, "is the mispiac- ment of the adVerb"
 We agree with him. This ia of the highest importance. The tarin sinks into fnsigntftcance compared with it It is the curse of modern life. It 10 dragging tine nation to the lowest depths. Wfatever you do. do not mia- place your adverbs. Keep them where you can lay your hands on them when necessary.-Chicago Tribune.

English Officers
Lose Commissions
subaltern Objected to Native Doctor
in Regiment and His SUI
periors Suffer.

CALCUTTA, Mo-, i-.-tSpecial 10 The
Bee -Indian military circles have recently
been provided with sensation m the
shape Of a Raging affair in one Of the
cavalry regiments, arising out OF the APP
polntment OF Babu doctors to native regi-
ments.
one Of these doctors was appointed to a
regiment OF lancers. A subaltern in the
regiment. on returning from leave I'm Eng
land, found on his first night at mess that
a native doctor had been appointed 70 the
regiment and enjoyed, therefore, all the
rights OF a brother officer. The subaitern
is alleged 20 have followed the doctor after
mess and entered his ROOM where ne Sc
verely ragged him. smashed up tile native
gentleman's furniture, and assaulted the
medico himself Without court-maTNal
or inquiry the subaltern is dismissed from
service. The commanding officer mas been
required to resign.
The fault OF the commanding officer
seems to have been that he had up before
him the subaltern and the doctor and in
duced them TO shake hands, The COM
handing officers career thus endss . fteT
twenty-nine years in the service. The
second IN command is severely oensured
for agreeing 90 the action OF MS com
manding officer IN arranging the scandal
and for not reporting IL to his military
superiorB az simia.

Turkey Breaks
With Greece
Ottoman Minister at Athens Given
an Indefinite Leave of
Absence.

CONsTANTgNOFILE, Nov. l2-(speclal
TO The Bee.)-The Tanin states that
the government will grant Nabi Boy,
the Ottoman minister at Athens, who
has been here for the last two months,
unlimited leave. II adds that this may be
regarded as the first step towards def
mite rupture OF diplomatic relations with
Greece. Official circles have not denied
that this statement is likely TO be well
founded. The Committee OF Union and
Progress, which may be considered synony-
nous with the government, Is OF opinion
that tho appointment of a person who is
looked upon By the Turks In the same
light as an Ottoman deserter" to the
premiership OF Greece Is an affront which
justifies what may be described as the
political cut direct. Were the Cretan ques-
ton solved or near solution Of a nature
TO satisfy Turkish opinion, such course
might not have been followed.
Such Is the opinion OF the rulers Of Tur-
key and II must be confessed that there
seems little chance OF any change In their
views at this eleventh hour.
