Gladstone appealed to Europe to take
| the part Of the poor Bulgarians.
While the great Englishman was
pleading in eloquent terms for the Bull
| garians, the car and his council re-
solved to take the field against the
''Unspeakable Turk" Beyond a doubt
the car felt sorry for the Bulgarians
and he also felt that it was a good
time to make another attempt to get
closer to Constantinople.
At any rate, a Russian army was
thrown into Turkish territory, and the
order TO it was: Take Pleyna" But
unfortunately for the cars plans, at
Plevna was Osman Pasha with 40, 900
Turkish soldiers, who were soon to
demonstrate to the world that they had
not lost the military prowess which
had once made them the terror OF Eu-
rope.
Between July IS and September IL
the Russians made three grand as
saults upon PleYna, and each time they
were met by the heroic defence which
reminded the world of Thermopyla of
old. Than the fight that was put up
by Osman and his men there is nothing
finer in the history of war. Beaten at
every turn, the Russian leaders gave it
up, and orders came to get out of it
as best they could.
And then Russia had to sit down be-
fore the gates Of Plevna and try to
starve out the men she could not whip.
LNuS6ldu EelnLOEC6menIS came IN great
NUMBERS, ana the Investment was soon
made complete. Osman refused to sur
render and refused to be starved to
death. Marshaling his men, he made a
last sublime effort to cut his way out
but failed, and severely wounded, his
ammunition gone, and half of his men
dead or disabled, he surrendered on the
10th Of December.
The defence Of Plevna was worth
more to the Turks than any victory
could have been. It gave them the
prestige that was talked of the world
over, and that is still one of their
proudest and most valuable assets.
And II is good to remember that upon
their somewhat phlegmatic conauerors
the herolsm shown at Plevna was not
without its effect Osman's surrender
was received by the Russians with
every manifestation of soIdierlv re-
spect' courtesy and admiration.

A Talking Dog.
Every once in a while the effete east

which yelps its greeting and heralds

this week was introduced one Don a
canine OF German extraction, who
speaks his native language and eats
out Of the hand OF Frau Haberland
with equal intelligence and favor.
Don is a stable brown German for
est dog, a little inclined to corpulence,
but still good looking. His age is
stated to be years. This, perhaps is
the reason why his vocabulary is lin
iteed to so few expressions and why
these expressions convey but limited
ideas.
Don says "unger." Don" 'rkuchen."

maintains a resort at Sea Breeze where

Ten New York Theaters De

New York. July 2O.-And the war

Last week Joe n. Weber, wiping the
perspiration from his brow, made talk
for the abused flute blowers much as
follows:
The Musicians union asks the man
agement an increase of less than 10
cents performance per man for dra-
motto plays and an increase Of about
rs cents a man for musical plays. This
is little enough and it should be read
lily granted by the theatrical trust"
To which simple words of supplica-
ton, ALT Hayman, vice president Of
the association of theater managers,
answers as follows:
Mr. Weber's figures per capita look
small indeed, till one remembers that
his estimates would increase the or
chestra cost of pretentious musical
productions $4,000 per season. while the
smaller musical productions would
spend about $4,000 more per year. and
