London, Eng, Nov 23.--A luxurious

erage business and professional man

crs are able to meet the social re-
quirements and pay the dues.
The dogs viii share the use Of their
quarters with their masters and mis-
1reSses but the connection Of the lat

upon the membership OF the CANNES
The initial expense Of eQuipping the

Putni< War Hero.
The strict censorship exercised in or
10 -na HH~n- arlH- -
vented the reading public from learn
ing much OF the identity of the prin-
cipal actors in the Balkan struggle,
but one name which seems likely to
become as familiar as Kuropatkin,
Oyama, KurOK and NOgi, is Putnik-
Cen Putnik is the commander IN chief
of the SerTian forces which have been
operating around Uskub. OF him
correspondent at the Servian head
quarters writes.
Gen. Putnk is a military genius
to whom much of the success OF the
war is undoubtedly due. As saw him
for the first time at Kestovatz, I was [
struck by the extraordinary likeness /
which he bore to Gen Grant, both in 4
feature and build. He has organized I
the marvelously successful campaign
against the Turk
PLACID and gentle-eyed, one OF the I
l1indest Of men, / should think, he is I
adOred by his staff and by all the |
ranks. He is the 'Bobs" o. the Ser
Wan army, and every soldier have |
talked to speaks OF him in terms Of Z
highest devotion and admiration"
GladstOne's Influence still Felt.
The influence Of the late William Z. |
Gladstone on behalf Of the Christians I
in the Balkans still lives. Mrs. Drew,
a daughter Of the statesman, having |
in mind her fathers friendship for I
these people, has sent a donation in /
his name of $500 to the Balkans re- /
lief fund. This fund, raised by the /
n
", and besides contributing to it many /
people are offering their personal I
services as nurses. Several delega-
tons Of nurses have already been de- /
spatched to the front and more VIII /
follow.
Power Of Advertising.
The claim Of publishers that you can /
get most anything you want by adver- {
Using has received further support. 1
DR. j. J. ScanlOn, who is Investigating l
the monetary loss involved in injuries B
TO the hand in connection with the 4
WOrzingmen's Compensation act, pub 1
ished an offer Of IS for q working
man who. having lost the thmub, in 4
dex, middle and ring fingers Of one 4
hand by accident, was back at his /
work. William Stamford, a railroad 1
emplOye, claimed and was given the 1
reward Nineteen years ago Stamford 1
lost all the fingers, except the lit /
tie finger, OF his right hand, but he 4
not only proved that he had since !
continued his duties, but demon /
strated that he could paper, paint. /
and mend shoes, play the organ and /
write with the manned hand.
To Push Rural Education.
An organization of all shades of po- /
Iiticsl opinion has been formed in /
Scotland for the promotion Of higher !
education in the rural districts. In ]
building up technical schools and uni 4
versfties in the towns and cities there /
has been q. tendency to neglect higher /
education in the sparsely settled ~
raj districts, with the result that ]
manv. capable students have no oppor-
tunity Of completing their studies
The new organization is gathering
evidence Of this condition which VIII 1
be placed before parliament
