Having Been Denied Autonomy by the Ottoman Empire,
This Balkan People Is Now Considering Possible
Candidates for Ruler, Among Them Prince
Waldemar, Of Denmark and Don
Aladro, Marquis Of Castriotis.

The condition of Albania has always de-
pended upon the amount of interference
by the imperial authorities. When the
Albanians have been left alone they have
shown themselves the most loyal subjects
of the Sultans-so much so that the latter
have often confded the safety of them
selves and of their courts 10 bodyguards
composed OF and commanded by Al
bsnians. The Albanian bodyGuards OF
the Padishahs at ConstantirOpie have IN
decd played a notable IOle IN Turks n
history. On the other nand. whenever III
,surreclion has broken out in Albania II
has Invariably been caused nv imprudent
Ottoman governors who have attempted
to bring about an amalgamation OF the
Yabanis with the remainder OF the en-
pire.
This was the mistake made by the
Young Turk party after extorting an
enforcement of the constitution from the
reluctant Sultan Abdul Hamld. and it is
in consequence thereof that Albania has
been in d state of rebellion ever since.
For centuries the Albanans had been
without an alphabet, their history, their
traditions and their epic poems being
transmitted from generation to generation
by word of mouth. Even their very
laws were unwritten, and all the more
severely applied and more Loyalty hon.
ored on this account During the last
few years there has been a powerful
movement on the part OF the leading Al
banians. not only in the province itself.
but also among those settled abroad
there are near 10000 in Italy alone-to
endow the nation with written Ian
guage, the Latin alphabet being employed
for the purpose 49,.
CREATING A LANGUAGE.
Albanian dictionaries have been com
piled. also grammars; while endeavors
have been made TO collect and print the
most famous of the historical poems of
the country. The money for this pur-
pose has been largely subscribed in some
OF the leading educational centres Of
America. notably Boston. The so-called
Alphabet Movement would never have
made the progress that It has had ii not
been for American moral and financial
support. The Young Turk party in power
in Constantinople, from the time of the
promulgato of the constitution four
years ago until quite recently, vigorously
opposed this movement, as calculated to
encourage the nationalist particularism
of the Alhanians. and sought TO enforce
the Turkish--that is. the Arabic-alphabet
going to such lengths that the possession
of books or pamphlets printed in Latin
characters by the Albanans was cruelty
punished as treason to the state. 1t Is
no exaggeration to state that the fighting
Of the last two years between the Alban-
ians and the forks has been largely over
a question Of alphdbets.

IN sufficient quantities was lacking
Therefore, on bare chance that
Abe would give hls former pre-
sumed confederate away, he has
been pardoncd from the pending
indictments aud made subject Ia
parole IN exchange for any intorma-
tion he may see fit to give. With
prospects OF liberty looming up
brightly in his way, of course Abe
will unburden himself TO the fullest
extent, except chances are that he
wont, 1t was not right that Abe
should be made subject to parole
lie has been proven guilty aud

Why should one guilty man be re-
leased from prison on the hope OF
incarcerating another' Unless some
enmlty has arisen between Schmidt
and Abe, no disclosures can be eN-
pected. Abe has made no promis.
es, but the authorities are gullible
enough TO believe that he will tell
all he knows The chances are that
Abe and Schmidt will, in the near
future, be seen motoring around
together and pointed out by the
populace as the shrewdest and most
willy men OF san Francisco, Just
ice has little chance against money

The free ferry is being delayed
owing To the fact that the approach
es OF slips have to be widened Il
accommodate the new boat that Is
being constructed, and on account
OF some difficulty being experienced
in securing commodious landing
place on the West side. New pit,
ing is being driven, and we under

Tor enlarging and placing the APP
proaches and slips in first class con-
dition. According to the city pa
pers the county court believes il
was handed a lemon or gold brick
by ST Johns, but such is not the
case, II Is true that II did not re-
ceive much but the court knew, OF
should have known, just what it
would receive before the bill be
came a law. If il didn't it was
lacking in intelligence, The fact
OF the matter is that the county
should have been compelled to pro.
vide ferry at ST. Johns without
this city spending a single cent, Ii
is the business of the county to
provide bridges and ferries where
necessary, just as il is incumbent
upon il to keep up the roads. That
is what the county taxes are levied
for ST. Johns has been paying
thousands OF dollars into the county
Golfers and receiving nothing in re-
turn. Now that the law has been
brought about forcing them to do a
little for ST. Johns the howl goes up
that the county has been gold
bricked, The citizens of this city
knew exactly what they were get
ting for the $4,000 expended, and
only 10 voted against the eNpendi-
ture The county may fume and
Squirm and pour out a tale of woe,
but there is nothing to do but to
follow the law It's provisions are
too plain and unmistakable TO hedge
or disregard According to the
city papers Commissioner Hart,
who was elected from the PENN
sula, and from whom the greatest
efforts should be expected to Sc
cure the ferry, is doing the great
est knocking, In spite OF all the
pickering ST. Johns will get the
free ferry, or the aid of the courts
will be invoked for the enforcement
of the law.

Calico Carnival

The Calico Carnival given 10y
Philo Christie class of Evangelical
church Wednesday evening was a
decided success. II is seldom such
a large and good humored crowd,
gathers to a class entertainment OF
that kind. Most of the numbers
on the program responded TO q
hearty encore, which heightened
that part OF the entertainment tc
such a degree that sewing OF carpet
rags and other games, which had
been planned, as suited to a calico
carnival, were OF necessity omitted
Those admitted numbered slightly
more than IFS. From the sale oi
calico articles and the proceed,
from the refreshments sold, the
class netted a tidy sum, which will
be used to meet the pledge of IN,
church building fund. The class
desires to thank those who so gen
erously helped with their talents
and attendance, crowning its
efforts with success.
