Before the vote was taken the pastor, the
Rev. Arthur z. Brooks. sang the hymn
as a solo He had announced in the morn
ing that the hymn would be sung ia the
evening and a vote taken.
The hymn 70 which Governor Wilson OBJ
jected is in part as follows:
Somewhere the sun IS shining.
somewhere the songnir4s dwell.
Hush. then thv sad rerining,

Somewhere. somewhere

iBy Cable 70 The Trioune.l

London. oct. 9-From all parts Of the
Turkish Empire messages are arriving
in Constantinople urging the Sultan to
declare a holy war
The correspondent Of The Daily
Chronicle says President Taft has
cabled W. W. Rockhin the American
Ambassador at Constantinople. 70 use
his influence for peace, and that the
ambassador arranged Immediately for
an interview with tn Grand Vizier.
The same correspondent says great
activity is reported on the part Ok tho
Italian warships through the archipelago
and in the Ionian and Red seas. 1t is
believed that it is intended to blockade
the Dardanelies.
Turkey has sent another note 70 the
powers, asking for Intervention and Of
fering TO grant every reasonable conces-
sion TO Italy
The Turkish forces in Tripou have
been withdrawn to the interior where
they will either await the Italians or. il
possible. return 70 the attack. Rumor has
it. however. that they are already short
Of provisions and may be forced to sur
render.
Rechid Pacha has definitely resigned
the portfolio Of Foreign Affairs in tho
new Turkish Ministry. This may preiu-
dice the authority Of said Pacha's CaDi-
net
Reports are current that Said Pacha
will resign and that KIamu Pacha will
become Grand Vizier. There are indica-
tions throughout the Turkish dominIons
Of an energetic spirit in favor Of holy
war. but in Constanunople the people
pray constantly for peace.
Turkeys military intentions are still
mystery. Anti-Italian feeling in the
Ottoman Empire is. however spreading.
1t is announced from Vienna that the
Porte has resolved to eXpel all Italians
from Turkish territory, subject all Ital-
ian imports to a duty Of 100 per cent and
make a fresh appeal 10 the powers
The outlook is regarded with less con-
idence than at the beginning Of the
campaign.
The Chauvinist press Of Turkey still
demands severe anti-Italian measures.
but the moderate press and the general
public realize that the only possible
course is 10 end the war without delay.
II is understood that the Grand Nizier
and the Minister Of War are inviting
mediation by the powers 70 secure the
completion Of peace, and that in the
mean time the execution Of the decree
Of expulsion relating to Italians viii be
postponed.

English detective stories have
their waving and their waning in
public favor; their American
limitations hold the readers at
fention for a time; French and
German acuteness in the devils
ing of 'origina. plots engages our
interest until the tales of newer
Tdocqs are told, but Anna Kath-
airline Green's detective stories,
based on incidents of American
life, = perennial boomers.
They know no permanent rivals
in American liking.
In the writing of stories with
originality of plot, skizltuz de-
piction of character, interest of
incident, intricacy of mystery and
boldness of denouement no for
etgn novelist can hope to COM
pete for American favor with
this American woman writer.
Read The House of the Wits

be one of her best and therefore

BIG MINING CONGRESS TO
BE HELD IN CHICAGO.
Important Subjects Will Be Discussed
by Notable Speakers.

Many important themes will be dis
cussed at the annual convention of the
American mining congress to be held
in Chicago Oct. "a to %.
The session will be attended by Pres
fdent Taft, who heads the list of speak
ers; Secretary Fisher. John Hays Ham,
mond, President Bush Of the Missouri
Pacific railroad; Joseph A. Holmes,
director Of the bureau of mines; Mar
tin D. Foster, chairman of the house
committee on mines and mining; Gov
errors Spry of Utah and Sloan of Ari-
IONA, besides al exceptional array Of
authorities on the perplexing problems
of the mining industry.
An effort will be made at the CONVEX
ton to bring to the attention of the ma
TONS lawmakers the enormous waste
Of the country's mineral resources.
The waste Of coal in the states where
fuel is being extensively mined will be
particularly emphasized and the fed
eral government asked to prevent a
continuance of the loss.
DR.. Holmes, director Of the national
bureau of mines. who is a member of
the congress and will deliver an illus
trated address on Coal Problems," has
declared the end Of the coal supply in
sight in certain important districts. He
gives 200 years as the life of the coal
beds if the rate of increasing consump-
ton Of the last century is maintained.
Among the states he names as likely
to feel the first effect of the fuel ex-
haustion are Pennsylvania. Illinois.
West Virginia. Ohio and Iowa, located
near our great manufacturing and
transportation centers. upon whose
supplies the largest drains are being
made, both in use and the waste of
essential resources"
The Alaskan situation and the public
lands question of the west will also
be vital issues at the convention. Most
Of the public domain now remaining
undeveloped in the west is mineral
bearing. and the disposition of these
lands is a subject in which every min
ing man is intensely concerned. Four
western governors have announced
thelr intention to lead the discussion
on this issue. They will have the sup
port of a determined contingent of del
egates from west Of the Mississippi.
and it is expected their views on the
subject will be defined in no uncer-
tain manner.
Mr.. Fisher, secretary of the interior.
who has just returned from Alaska, is
expected to have something important
to say concerning the outlook for de-
velopment of that territory.

dead mother and even those of my

devotion merited consideration from
the man who had called them forth.
I would not slight the claims Of my
dead mother, but / would give this
young girl a chance for her life. Let
others ferret out the fact that she had
visited the clubhouse with her sister;
I would not proclaim it. 1t was enough
for me to proclaim my innocence.
I was in this frame Of mind when
Charles Clifton called and was allowed
to see me. l had sent for him in one
Of my discouraged moods. He was my
friend, but he was also my legal advis-
er, and it was as such had summon

come. Cordial as u relations had
been, I noted no instructive outstretch-

out mine. I was the first to speak.

attack made upon Miss Cumberland

But I saw that I had made no i'm

Schober Could Eat a Whole Turkev at

schober Could Eat a Whole Turkey at
One Meal.
The largest coffin ever built in New
Jersey was constructed to hold the
body of George Schober of Jersey
City, a wealthy retired butcher. Scho-
Der weighed $50 pounds, and twelve
strong men acted as ~pallbearers.
Schober was six feet tall. He was
a jovial man and an enormous eater.
and at Christmas and THANKSGIVING
he was in the habit Of having prepar-
ed for his consumption an entire tur-
key with its necessary garnishments.
At each meal Schober ordinarily ate
as much as his wife and four sons to-
gether. His usual breakfast consisted
of a dozen eggs, a pound or two of
ham. the greater part Of a loaf of
bread and two quarts of milk. 1t is
said Schober was always hungry.
About a year ago his weight became
too much for his bones. and he was
forced to retire from business. he
undertaken had to call on tu II me %
assist in lifting the man to prepare him
for burial.
The coffin was six feet seven inches
long. twenty-nine inches high and thir-
ty-nine inches wide. 1t was built of
n and a half inch chestnut.
To get the coffin out of the house
n of the windows was removed, as
none of the doors was wide enough.
Schober was a Mason. His father
was tall and thin. and his friends can
not explain his enormous size.

Fish Used For Soap.

The angler or fishing frog, though
nowhere common, seems more gener-
ally distributed around England's
coasts than some authorities suppose.
The angler is so called from the curl
u rod and bait" formed by a modi-
fcation of a ray of the front dorsal fin,
which was formerly fancied to attract
smaller fish, but the entire hideous
body is a marvellous mimetic adapta-
ton to the bottom of the sea, upon
which the creature walks, using the
pectoral fins for feet. This marine
ogre has little value, except for mu-
seums, but the gall is used by Irish
washerwomen to bleach linen, and in
Iceland it is utilized for the manu-
facture Of soap.-St. James. Gazette.
