TURKS BES|EGED
At ADR|ANOPLE
Probable Deciding Conflict of
Balkan War, Between 450,-
900 Troops, Imminent.

VIENNA. Oct 21-Adrianople, the
biggest and most important city in Eu-
ropean Turkey was placed under siege
by the Bulgarian army today. In three
columns the Bulgarian army moved
upon Adrianople from the north, driving
back the Turks from the outer works.
The battle Of Adrianople. which is
expected to be one of the deciding con-
flicts of the Balkan war, is looked for
within a few days. Dispatches from
the front indicated that the Turks
would not passively submit to being
besieged in their stronghold. but would
move out and give battle to the Bull
garian army before il was reinforced.
Heavy fighting has been going on
north and around Adrianople for 48
hours. Fighting with great bravery,
the Bulgarians carried three hills be-
fore the city which command important
points. One of these villages, Malkotch,
was set on fire by the Turks before they
retreated
Fleeing Turks Spike Cannon.
The Turks spiked many of their can
non before retreating from the outer
works. so that they were useless when
the Bulgarians came up and took pos
session of them. Turkish block houses
were dismantled and all possible pre-
cautions taken to lessen the value of
the works which fell into the Bulga-
rians' hands. AT some points. however,
the advance OF Gar Ferdinand's army
was so rapid that ammunition and pro-
visions could not be destroyed and
these were captured by the Bugarians.
Gar Ferdinand is directing the oper-
atoms of his army in person. He has
moved his headquarters further to the
front and will personally direct the
siege of AdrianopIe
The way to Adrianople was opened
when the Bulgarians captured Musta-
pha PaCha, a small town to the north
west of Adranople which was consd-
cred the key to the bigger city.
1t is estimated that there are about
100000 men in the Bulgarian army be-
fore AdrianOple. There are less than
100000 Turks in the city, and In the
positions of still other Turks outside
the citadel

MORNING ROBES ARE DAINTY
Elaborate characterization Allowed on
Costumes to Be Worn at
Breakfast.

Breakfast robes are being made in
most ornate style with fiouncings and
ruchings of lace, adorned with satin
rosebuds. The dresses are completed
by shoes to match and dainty little
caps of lace adorned with flowers.
A charming version of the break
fast toilet was to be seen recently in
one of the shops. The foundation Of
the dress was white satin, yelled with
pink ninon and flounced with white
lace. A series of flowers caught up
the lace fiouncings, and the cap which
went with it had a frill of lace franz
ing the face prettily, with clusters of
flowers at the sides.
Some of the simple house frOcks
are filled in at the throat with folds
of tulle in v shape, while others are
made with high transparent collars of
the tulle, edged along the top with a
narrow band of satin Satin, after taf-
fetas, is the principal material for the
house frock this season and there are
charming little dresses in crepes Of
silky weave. trimmed with lace and
satin folds.
In length -the skirt of the house
frock touches the ground all the way

NO AID GIVEN HER0's WIFE
Governments Employers Liability
Law Does Not Apply to Mine
Rescuers.

Washington, D. C.-Although tho
government has an employers liabil-
ity law which applies to certain parts
of the government service, the widow
and children of Johr Ferrell who lost
his life while exploring the burning
mine at Cherry Valley, Pa, will get
nothing. Terrell was mine rescue
worker in the newly established fed
eral bureau of mines.
The widow of a laborer accidentally
killed on the Panama canal gets a
years pay. The same benefits apply
to employees of the reclamation serv-
ice.
Terrell had personally saved at least
ten lives. At Briceville, Tenn. in
the Cross Mountain mine disaster
he found and saved five miners. He
was miner and mine foreman for 81
years.
Ferrells pay was $1,000 year. His
widow and children are left without
means of support unless congress
passes special act.

RAPID BUILDING OF NEW CITY
Port Sudan and Tsingtao illustrates
Development In Making of
Towns.

Port Sudan-As compared with the
normal process by which towns come
into being, their development proceed
ing spontaneously and by slow stages.
1t is interesting to note the occasional
deliberate construction Of large sea-
ports and other towns, complete and
ready for occupancy in few years
time, the motive being sometimes po
Htical and some times commercial
We have recently referred In these
columns to the remarkable develop
Inent of Port Sudan, founded a few
years ago by the British authorities
on the west coast of the Red sea, says
the Scientific American. A similar
undertaking, though with different
aims, was the building of the German
seaport of Tsingtao, China, a city
notable, among other things, for the
fact that no American atlas maker
discovered its existence until ten
years after its foundation.
In contrast to these successful ex-
periments in city building we learn
that the port of Heungchow, which
was laid out in the spring OF 1909 on
the shore of Yehli bay, ten miles by
water from Macao harbor, emma, has
by no means realized the hope of its
creators that it would speedily be-
come a formidable rival to the neigh
boring ports of Macao and Hongkong.
1t was built On up to GATE lines, with
telephones, water works, electric
light, tramways, ETC., but 1t has not
succeeded in attracting trade, and its
resent population is only 1000.

Kansas City (Mo.) Woman Advises
Sun, Exercise and Baths as
Best Religion.

Kansas City, Mo.-A new religion,
centering in the stomach instead of
the soul, and having salvation OF this
life and not some future existence as
its aim, is being launched in Kansas
City by Mrs. Katheryn Boggs of To
peka.
"All religions of the past" says Mrs.
Boggs, "have been bound with ira
ditions and unnecessary formality
and have made demands on human
credulity which were unreasonable.
Comfort, health. truth and peace,
where they have been present in the
religions Of the past, were accidental
In my religion they are the objects"
Last Easter Mrs. Boggs opened Trim
ity Home in Topeka for the followers
of what she terms Practical Chris
tianity." Whosoever wished to come
was welcome. To this home she ex-
poets to return at some time in the
future, and admit all who desire to
live the new religion.
Some of the practices OF this re-
ligion are: Daily baths-of sun, water
or clay-she says there is nothing so
good for the body as pure air, sun
shine. water and soil. The religion is
essentially one Of the stomach. And
the rule and guide to conduct is. BE

Rio Janeiro-Rio is the Paris of the

The people of Rio, by the expendi-

orally have accomplished marvels.
Fifteen years ago the city was a mud
hole and a cesspool of filth and dis
ease, scourged by yellow fever and
many forms of pestilence. An Italian
warship visited the city at that time
and every officer and every man of
the crew died of the fever. A foreign
crew had to be hired to take the ship
back to Italy. Today Rio compares
favorably with the healthiest cities in
the world. Sixty million dollars has
been spent in the last ten years for
sewerage, water, streets. etc. No bet
ter water supply exists. 1t is brought

safety, because there are no flies and
no dust, whether on the Avenida Cen
trail, the Champs Elysee Of Rio, along
the docks or in the back alleys. They
are all as clean as the constant use OF
soap and water can keep them. A
