Bewildering Dispatches.

London. Nov. 2.-An extraordinary
series of dispatches from Nazim Pashai
the Turkish commander chief, claim
ing that the Turkish army had recaptur-
ed Bunarhissar and was still holding its
own against the Bulgarian advance were
published in Constantinople. In the abb
sence of independent testimony, how
ever, various assumptions as to the ac-
curacy of these kilograms are possible.
They may be belated dispatches refcrr-
ing to earlier stages of the struggle or
mere representations for the benefit OF
the Turkish populace.
On the other hand they may mean
that the Bulgarian victory was not SO
complete as was represented by Sofia, or
possibly that the nine divisions of Turk
ish reserves, the reports of yesterday
said had been ordered to the Turkish
center may be holding back the Bulga-
rian advance.
Except for the general statement that
the Turks were retreating on Chataldia,
fighting rear gourd actions no details
of the battle We're forthcoming from So
fla to-day, but the arrival og 5000
wounded men in Constantinople tells its
own story of the sanguinary character
Of the encounter Despite the optimistic
reports from the Turkish side, it is not
believed here that the Turkish army can
retrieve itself.
All the indications from Sofia are that
the allies are determined to dictate
terms of peace from Constantinople.
Whether this will be possible depends
on the strength of the Chataldja forti-
fed lines which for nearly a century
have been regarded an impregnable
stronghold from which the Turks would
dare the world to expel them.

vestigation was made by Deputies De-
lano and Hall, who found that boy
named George Gavitt was out duck
shooting on Clark pond, and that he
used a rifle.
He did not see Webber on the flats,

his rifle struck the bank. detected, and
hit the clam digger. Gavtt was ex-
amined by Sheriff Moulton and County
Atty. Bates and was allowed to 90

purely accidental.

He was having hard work OF it when

Graphic Description of Battle.

London, Nov 2.-Graphic description,
of week long battle between the Turk,
and Bulgarians in the southeastern cor.
ner of the Balkan peninsula are nou
being received in London. 1t appears
that 100000 men have been engaged in
the struggle, which, according to some
accounts, is still progressing.
Dispatches from Sofia say that the
Turkish troops offered a very obstinate
resistance to the Bulgarian attack, and
the conflicts continued until late on
Wednesday night with wavering sue
cess. Evidently the Turks gave way all
along, but the Bulgarians captured the
railway station at Muradi, thus COM
manding the railroad line to Salonika,
which is now isolated. The Christian
soldiers of the Turkish army continue
to desert in large numbers, declaring
they were placed in the front line OF
cattle

SUICIDE WAS RESULT
OF 0VERW0RK
William E. Butler, Prominent Business
Man of Boston, Shot Himself to
Death in His Office Yester-
day Afternoon.

Boston, Nov. 2.-William T. Butler
president of the w. S. Butler company
shot himself in his private office yester-
| day ternoon at 2 O'Clock and died in
stantly.
The act was the direct result of over
work. II was the elimination of a
mental depression from which Mr.. But
Ter had been suffering several weeks, but
it came as a shock to his business asso-
ciates, who knew that for years he had
been subjected to spells of despondency,
from which, however, he always rallied
without much difficulty and from which
he usually came back to his work with
new ardor and ambition.
Three years ago Mr. Butler had a
severe attack of typhoid fever, from
which he never fully regained his physi-
cal strength. This also left him with a
slight nervous trouble that overlook him
whenever he oyertaxed himself
He had been under tremendous
strain for year or more, owing to eX-
tensions of his business on which he had
set his heart, but the strain on mind
and body was too much for him and
he began to show the effects of ii about
two weeks ago.
He was the kind of man who took and
carried most of the responsibilities of
his large business on his own shoulders.
His were the plans, and he worked
to carry out his plans in large meas
ure himself. 1t was this self-contain-
ment that led to introspective periods
of morbidness, and the fact that he
had no real rest for a year evidently
told on him,
Still his suicide was a great surprise,
for he appeared cheerful enough to those
about him all the forenoon. He had
been debating to his private secretary,
Miss Annie f. Waldron, for some time
before 2 o'clock. and he sent her to see
his manager. Ralph Albertson. on the
same floor in the Washington street
Miss Waldrou was gone for some
time, and in the meantime Mr.. Butler
came to the door of his private office
and laid note on Miss Wahron's desk, |
which was situated near the door of |
the private office. Miss Lillian Orr, a |
clerk. was in Miss Waldron's office at |
he time.
A moment after Mr. Butler had laid |

Furs that Are Fashionable This Year

In an article on "Furs" in the Novem
Der Woman's Home Companion appeari
! the following:
ut is always interesting to know al
the beginning of the season what the
new styles are in furs as to shape and
trimming, but of much more import
ance is the question, What are the fash
ionable furs Last year among the in
expensive furs, Austrian opossum was
high in favor. This year it has been set
aside and new fur called chincilla
squirrel has taken its place. This fur is
not quite so inexpensive. as much work
has to be done in matching the skins
Chinchilla squirrel is the pelt of the
ground squirrel dyed in a lovely chin
chilla gray. When the pelts are correct
~ matched and dyed. it shows striped
effect. Paris is using this fur extensive
ly for fat muifs and Empire and Colo
NAL scarfs, and also for trimming pur-
poses. 1t is called petitgris.
"Civet-cat. which was very fashion
able last season. j. again the mode. The
black pelt is notified with white, and it
looks extremely smart for revers and
cuffs on a black or dark toned tailored
suit Both black and white fox will be
worn, and red fox and pointed fox Then.
this season. fisher will again be the
mode. This fur is used much in place

great deal less expensive.

combination with ermine. aud also with

ionable than il was last season. II Is
seen in many long and short coats. and
also ia quaintshaped neck-pieces and
fiat muffs. Many very chic-iookng hats

White furs viii be mueh worn by
the younger girls. and many Of the sets

young girls.
Perhaps the very high novelty Of all
the furs this wear j. the leopard-skin.
last season this very striking fur was
used little but this year there are
many leopard skin mufTs and long stoles
These are generally combined with an
other fur. preferably sealskin. Leopard
