CHRISTIAN AND TURKS.

The Bulgarians and their allies are laundering at tue gates of Constanti- nople, the chief seat of the Moslem power. It is a conflict between Chris tian and Turk-a conflict which is as old as the crusades. and on down to the days of the Polish patriot, So- bieski, and throughout the later years,
 But the underlying conditions of the present situation are little known, In all the struggles between Greek, Bull garian. Macedonian and Moslem, the motive and incentive have been the same since Paris ran or with Helen, says an Oriental traveller, It is Flu rope against Asia. The East against the West. This writer and traveller declares that Abdul Hamid ruled Tur- key with a clear and definite policy with regard to the Christian subject. It was the policy of the Turkish Sul- tan to foment quarrels between the Balkan nationalities. Since Abdufs downfall these quarrels and their an imosities have largely died out and the Balkan States have united il q common hostility against Turkey.
 It is probable, however that the solution of the present conditions will be soon made by the European pow CTS. They are no doubt now ready to act. They have been waiting for q reasonable opportunity to inter- vene. That opportunity now seems close at hand. The Bulgarians may be halted even at the gates of Constanti- uople.

THE NEW "wILD WEST"

Small boys afflicted with tho ling ering fever inherited with the blood of their frontier ancestors and aching to fight Indians, are referred to the mountain regions of the Virginias, Carolinas, Kentucky and Tennessee, where they can find plenty of Indian tactics and methods, and opportunity to engage in real war. After their first engagement they will forget all about the entire absence of real red Indians in their anxiety to get away from the white natives.

 Thomas J. Walsh who will succeed United States Senator Joseph M. Dix. on in the Senate, was a member of the Baltimore Convention. He is an able man, and he prepared the blanks of the platform, dealing with conser- vation and other Western problems, | He is the kind of conservationist that believes In making legitimate use of the natural resources of the country for the benefit of the pres ent as we'll as the future generations. But he does not want to see them all conserved for the use of posterity.
 Conservation of the natural resourc' es of a country for the use and bene, fit of generations yet unborn is not a new idea. It was known and urged in Great Britain more than Q century ago.

and adiudged guilty Of murde1 in the
'flrst degree were sentenced By Judge
Staples to be electrocuted November
% next.
The imposing OF the sentences came
as surprise. 1t occurred in RECESS
Of the trial Of Victor Allen. SON Of
Floyd Allen, when nearly all the
spectators and the jurymen had left
the courtroom for dinner.
Floyd Allen, who had. leg broken
in shooting up the court at Hillsville
ON March IA, supported himself with
crutches while standing to be sentenc-
ed His emotion. though SILENT was
painful to witness. His son. Claude,
as apparently tnmoyed, appeared I'M
interested. Half-checked tears came
to the eyes Of Victor Allen, a son, as
he sat in his chair undergoing trial
for his life No other relatives were
present.
Judge Staples in passing sentence
said: Each of you, by the grand jury
Of your county, was charged with the
murder Of four men and one woman,
as result Of one plan and one pur-
pose. A court Of justice, sitting FOR
enforcement Of law and the protection
OF society, was In one brief moment
almost entirely destroyed. This was
done by you and associates.
THE Judge, pure in character,
steadfast in purpose, incapable OF
wrong, was shot three times where he
sat helpless and undefended; the Com
monwealth's Attorney, fearless in his
vigorous prosecution of one Of you,
was shot five times; the Sheriff, In
the act Of taking you, Floyd Allen, into
custody was shot six times, falling
where he stood. A juror was shot in
his seat and another wounded. One
woman was killed and the clerk shot
near his desk.
"You, Floyd Allen, while in custody
of law uttered your defiance of its
authority. sSuch defiance was never
heard of before in the Virginia courts.
AS your conduct was of your choice,
SO the consequence is your own crea,
ton. It Is really your own hand
which writes the Judgment of this
court Through your own sincere re.
pentance and mediation Of our Saviour
may each of you receive mercy unto
the measure of a full forgiveness"

Mexican Capital Fortified to
Resist Zapatistas.
THE CITY AN ARMED CAMP.
Twelve Hundred Rurales and Five
Hundred State Police Added
To the Garrison OF
lnEnnArn

y
Mexico City. Twelve hundred
rurales and. 500 state police have been
brought into Mexico City to prepare
for the attack Emialino Zapata has
threatened to make on the capital.
These added to the garrison OF IN
fantry already here, give q force OF
about 5000 men for the defense OF this
city. The rurales are patroling the
streets and the suburbs in mounted
squads Of 25 to rs men, night and day,
while the 5O-odd church towers Of the
capital are posted with sentries to
watch the streets and see that no
rioting starts.
An order has been issued forbidding
groups of more than five persons to
congegate at any point within the
city, and the mounted police have or
ders to ride down and, dispense gath
erings of more than this number. A
searchlight has been installed on the
tower Of the building occupied by the
Puerta de Vera Cruz, the largest store
and the highest building in the city.
Great beams Of light from this large
reflector wander at random over the
city all night, permitting sentries be,
side the sea-chlight to see what Is
going on In distant sections Of the
capital. AS was done at the end OF
the Diaz regime, machine guns have
been posted on the roof Of the Banco
Nacional, the National Treasury, the
National Palace and Chapultepec, the
Official residence of the president.
Along the three suburbs, Tialpam
Guadalupe and Tlainepantle, through
which Zapata has announced he will
make his attack, especially heavy
guards have been posted, and the bar
racks in each of these small towns
have been provided with rapid fire
guns and extra supplies of rides and
ammunition.
Zapata has assured foreigners thai
their rights will be respected and
urges them to fly the American fae
over their homes and places Of bust
ness, so that his raiders may know

DEATH RECALLS Big STEAL
Cornelius Z. Alvord, Jr, Who Lived
In spIendor Among Wall Street
,FInanciers on $4,000 A Year,
Dies In secluslon.

Stockport, N. Y.-Cornelius L. Al
word, Jr., one Of the worlds record
breaking bank embexziers, died here
at the age Of 65 years. He was the
note-teller who stole $690,00O from
the First National Bank of New York.
Alvord's crime was discovered In
October, 1900, when national bank
examiners went through the books OF
the big Wall Street institution. Al
word ran away to Boston, but was
caught
His plan Of stealing had been sim
pie. AS note teller, he handled oil the
incoming mail which contained notes.
He had access to the banks treasure
vaults, and whenever he needed cash
he simply helped himself, juggling the
books to meet the deficiency by in
coming notes. He used to keep some
Of these overnight and he came down
very early each morning in order to
forestall detection.
He was tried, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to Is years in Sing
Sing prison. He served eight years
and three months of this and was
then released.
At the time of his entertainments
he had been living in Mount Vernon
with his wife and three children; but,
on being released from prison, he
joined his family in new home at
Stockport:
Diligent efforts were made to dis
cover what he had done with the
$3.50. 000.
Alvord's explanations of what he
did with the money were never illumi-
mating, and the suspicion has always
existed in many minds that a con-
siderable sum was planted" Al
word said the money went in stock
speculation.
While it was found that Alvord had
speculated, and disastrously, the total
of the discoverable losses was in.
significant compared with the sum Of
his stealings. 1t was also found that
he had gambled at Saratoga in the
summer, and in gambling houses in
town, and that he lived in Mount
| Vernon at the rate of about $4,000;
a year, whereas his salary was only
$1,000; but all these expenditures, to
gether with the stock market losses
did not aggregate anything like $3.50,
tOo0. When pressed to tell what had
become OF his stealings after his ar
rest. Alvord said laconi&ally:
six hundred and ninety thousand
dollars is big lot Of money, but Il
goes mighty easy

COUNT NOGI AND
WIFE SUICIDES
aHof Over Monarch's Death
Leads to Harikari.
sAcRIFICE IN AIs AONoR.
The Couple Carried opt Carefully
Planned Pact After Attending
the Funeral OF Mutsu-

GOktO.-Gon. Count M8TebuhS No8l,
supreme military councillor OF the en-
pire, and his wife, the Countess NoH,
committed suicide in accordance with
the ancient Japanese custom as fnal
tribute to their departed Emperor and
friend, Mutsuhfto
The death by their own hands Of
the famous General and his wife was
as dramatic as 1t was sad. The Gen
eral cut his throat with q short sword
and the Countess committed hari.kari.
Following the Samurat custom the
couple had carefully prepared their
plans Tor killing themselves and timed
them 30 that they could be coincident
with the departure forever from Toxic
Of the dead Emperor.
General Nogi and the Countess had
attended the funeral services of
Mutsuhito at the palace here and it
= was expected that they would pro-
oeed to Aoyama with the cortege. In
stead, however, at the conclusion Of
the ceremony at the palace they with
drew to their modest home In
Akasaka, q suburb Of Toxic. and there
began their final preparations for
death.
First the General wrote a letter to
his new Emperor, Yoshihito, which
later was found beside bis body. Then
he draped In mourning portrait on
the wall of the late Emperor and If
terward he and his wife dressed them
selves In full Japanese costume and
drank farewell cup Of sake from cups
which had been presented to the Gen
eral by Mutsuhito.
Darkness had fallen and General
Nogi and the Countess sat and await
ed the signal they had agreed upon to
announce their devastating. This
was the booming Of a single gun in
the palace grounds at Toxic, which
was to let the people know that the
body of the Emperor was starting on
the funeral car for its last resting
place. -
AS the boom of the gun resounded
through the clear, still night General
Nogi arose and grasping in his hand
q short sword plunged it into his
throat, while the Countess stabbed
herself through the body.
A student who resided in the Nogi
home heard the fall Of the. bodies and
rushed into the room. Lying upon the
| floor we're the hero Of Port Arthur and
his wife. Both still were breathing
| but their spasmodic gasps showed
| plainly that death was near. The stu
dent hurried for aid, but when he re
turned with it both the General an6
the Countess were dead.
The tragedy created profound sen
sation and expressions of sorrow were
heard Jon. every hand.
Those who knew General Nogi wei
declared that his calmness in killing
himself was the kind Of stoicism he al
ways had displayed, no matter VIVA
crisis faced him.
Captured Port Arthur.
General Count Nogi was nationa
hero in Japan. It was he who cap
tured Port Arthur from the Russians
in 1904 and assured the success Of hi
country in the battle Of Mukden. TIL,
Count was born at Hagi, in the Prov
ince of Choshu, in 1849 and was tn,
