MISSIONARY IS HEROINE.
Scotch Spinster Leads Relief Work r.
Cholera Camp,

Cholera Camp.
Constantinople = Because the Red
Crescent volunteers have failed to take
up the work of relief, Right Rev.
Robert Frew, Scotch pastor in Con-
stantinople, and Miss Alt, so years
old, who for many years has been con-
nected with English and American
mission work in Turkey, have taken
quarters in the cholera camp and will
devote themselves to the care of vic
Tins.
Many OF the doctors have refused to
treat cholera patients, asserting that
tney are surgeons, not physicians. At
present there is only one volunteer
doctor working at the camp-Maior
Clyde s. Ford, Medical Corps, u. S.
A., who with the secretary of the
American embassy, Hoffman Phillip.
and Maurice Darling, IAN Englishman.
goes to San Stefano every day for re-
lief work. This is simply cleaning
up the camp, yet Major Ford has Civ
en- up his surgical work in an effort
to save many who would otherwise
die.
Secretary Phillip is coming in for
much credit among foreign residents.
because on finding that no member of
the Red Crescent was willing to take
charge, he himself has assumed con-
troll of the work.
Mrs. Rockhill, wife of the Ameri-
can ambassador, is gathering and pur-
chasing supplies for the camp, in
Guiding blankets and drinking cups.
Every one who has visited San Stefano
says that Miss Alt, who came origin
ally from Switzerland, is deserving of
the highest form of recognition as she
works from o'clock in the morning
until 5 at night, aiding the patients
and administering to. their wants, heed
less of contamination.
A Greek woman, also elderly, has
joined her and a Scotch woman at
tempted to aid, but collapsed and was
compelled to withdraw.

Employ Union Men.

indianapolis, Ind. = AS tending to
show the implication of labor union
officials in plots, the government in
troduced at the dynamite conspiracy"
trial testimony that explosions on nom
union iron works followed the refusal
of contractors to unionize their jobs
after personal visits by some Of the
defendants.
Before two charges of dynamite ex-
ploded on bridge in st. Louis on
August 9, 1908, testified John T.
Garrett, president of construction
firm, he was visited by John II. Barry,
of the local Ironworkers' union.
"Barry wanted me to unionize the
job," Garrett said.
You'll find it great deal cheap

he said. / told him l suspected he
was going to dynamite the job and he

PEACE IN EUROPE IN BALANCE
6ervia ignores Austrian Demands
Cholera Spreads,

servia ignores Austrian Demands
Cholera Spreads.
Vienna - A rumor has spread here
that the Austrian consul at Prisrend.
Procbaska, has been killed by Servian
troops. There is no confirmation to
this. The military journal says the
Austrian squadron in Turkish waters
has been ordered home.
London-The extreme anxiety mani
tested by all European governments
to deny reports of warlike prepare
tions and to represent the political
situation as peaceful and satisfactory
is in itself an indication Of how slen-
der q thread the issues of peace and
war in Europe now hang.
The danger arises not alone from
the conflicting interests of Austria,
Servia and the other powers, but from
the possibility that Turkey, following
the traditional policy of profiting by
the embodiment of the great powers,
may adopt an irreconcilable attitude
in the peace negotiations.
There appears to be suspension of
operations at the Tchatalja lines, ap-
parently by tacit consent rather than
by formal agreement.
The semi-official Bulgarian news
paper, Mir, editorially voices the gov
ernmental irritation at Turkeys d.
latory methods of negotiation and &C.
cuses the porte of deliberately nomi-
mating delegates from remote parts
in order to gain time.
In the diplomatic field the most i'm
portant reports are that Seyvia de-
clined to reply to the Austrian de-
mands until the war is concluded and
that Germany has not undertaken to
mediate between Austria and Russia.
The news that Servia is throwing
further obstacles in the way of the
Austrian representative in search of
Prochaska, the Austrian consul at
Prisrend, is another disquieting feat
ure.
Fighting continues around Adrian
ople, where the besieging forces are
reported to have drawn their investing
circle to within two thirds of mile
of the town.
Already there are several hundred
cases of cholera at Mustapha Pasha
and the scourge has entered Bulgaria,
telegraphs correspondent.
The foreign doctors have met to
consider what advice could be offered
the governments respecting precau
tions against the spread of the disease.
The cholera, the correspondent adds,
is raging at Adrianople and is spread
ing among the Servians..

CARNEGIE GIVES
AWAY MILLIONS
Makes Will and Says He's Glad
Load Is OFF His Mind.
Corporation Gets All But S25, ooo,-
600 Of Vast Estate-Approves
Discussion Of Pension Plan,

New Yo-k-Andrew Carnegie, in
statement Wednesday afternoon, an
nounced that all but $26, 900, 600 Of
his fortune, which will be disposed Of
under his will, will be left to the Car
negie Corporation of New York,
which has been made his residuary
legatee, and which will carry on his
educational and charitable work.
Mr.. Carnegie's statement likewise
explains his reasons for planning to
pension ex-presidents of the United
States, as he provided recently
through the Carnegie Corporation.
In making his announcement, tell
ing how he had gone about putting his
gospel of wealth" into practice, Mr..
Carnegie said:
81 resolved to fulfill the require
ments of the gospel of wealth by
transferring funds, and have done so,
except that have found it desirable
to retain for while personal distri-
button of my United States military
telegraph corps pensions and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad pensions to Pittsburg
division men and their widows, be-
cause my old boys would dislike the
change, and SO, no doubt, would others
upon my pension list.
TO meet these payments and 9th
ers under my will, $25. 1000, 900 of
bonds upon which the New York state
tax has been paid have been reserved.
But tthe New York corporation has
been made my residuary legatee and
all surplus left after meeting the pro-
visions of my will goes to it.
II am happy in getting all this off
my mind. 1t is a grewsome business,
but find that this earth is rapidly
becoming more heavenly, so that
many good men and women / know
labor for others. Surely Luther,
Franklin and their followers were
right, who held that service to man
is the highest worship of God. >"
In explaining his pension plan Mr..
Carnegie cited the case Of three ex-
presidents as affording justification
for the project, the announcement Of
which, he said, was making the de-
sired impression. His trustees and
himself were all hoping, he said,
"that congress would meet the situa-
tion by proper action"
"Not one of us but will rejoice
should this be the result" he said.

CANAL GATES OPENED.
Helen Taft, Daughter of President,
Presses Electric Button.


Colon, Panama-Miss Helen Taft,
daughter of the president of the Uni
ted States, Saturday pushed an insig-
niicant looking porcelain button,
thereby setting in motion electrical
machinery which opened and closed
the immense gates of the Gatun dam.
These great gates, which loom up as
big as battleship and are marvels of
manganese steel, bronze and zinc, are
so finely adjusted that Miss Taft was
able to open and close them in one
minute and So seconds.
There are 46 gates in the canal, but
those of the Gatun dam are the most
important. In travelling from the At
lantic to the Pacific a vessel will en-
ter the approach channel in Limon
bay, which extends distance of seven
miles to Gatun. There it enters a
series of three locks which lift it 81
feet to the level of Gatun lake, where
it may proceed full speed "a miles to
Bas Obispo, where it enters Culebra
cut, nine miles in length, and then
succeeding locks lower it to the level
of the Pacific.
Miss Taft, who is with Secretary of
War Stimson and party, is taking deep
interest in the vast engineering work.
She is received with much attention,
because her father is considered one
of the great powers that made posi-
BILE the canal, and his unfagging en-
ergy and careful attention are credit
ed with pushing the work fully year
ahead of the schedule.

TYPHOON TAKES HEAVY TOLL
300 Reported Killed in Philippine
Island Storm.

Manufacturing to the prostration of
the telegraph wires, no definite esti-
mate is yet possible of the number of
fatalities or of the property losses
caused by the typhoon that crossed the
islands of Samar, Leyte and North
Panay several days ago. Such infor-
nation as has been received indicates
that 260 persons were killed in Samar
and Leyte and 40 in the other terri
tory traversed by the storm. Despite
the enormous damage in Tacloban,
capital of Leyte, the fatalities there
were fewer than dozen.
The government is forwarding re-
lief supplies to the stricken district.
No word has been received from Min
danao except wireless dispatch from
the transport Warren, which said the
storm was unusually severe.

number of lives were lost.
