that to make the speech was what eny

Il felt a little pain, but it was not

'It was quite amusing" he went on,

my spectacle case, too"
Colonel Roosevelt showed no indi.
cation that he had felt the fear of
death. He said he had no means OF
knowing, as he delivered the speech
he had promised to make, whether he
was wounded fatally, but accepted as
matter of course that he should go
on until he had finished, If his strength
held out but when 1t was all over, and
he had turned away to go to the hos
pital, he said, he found it difficult to
keep his temper when a half a dozen
men scrambled over the edge of the
platform and asked him to shake
hands.

Of Turkeys great northern fortress OF

Athens.-Greece. not wishing to de
tach herself from her allies, sent in
structions early Friday morning 10 the
minister at Constantinople to com
municate declaration of war to the
porte.
Greece at the same time sent a fra
terhai greeting to the allied states.
Seryia was the first of the three
states to declare war Thursday night
Bulgaria followed with a similar de-
claration.
The war is expected to develop into
a land campaign between Bulgaria and
Turkey and naval struggle between
Turkey and Greece. II is believed
Turkey win concentrate her strength
and attack the Bulgarians separately
before the Servians come to their aid
Much will depend on whether Turkey
gains command OF the sea, which
would facilitate the transportation Of
her Asiatic troops to the theater Of
war
Little is known as to how far the
allied Balkan states have concerted
their plans. The independent actor
of Montenegro seems to indicate tha
settled course is being followed.

the senator and Mrs. Hepburn made
preparations for a trip west Another
relapse followed, and since then the
patient had been growing steadily
weaker. Thursday the doctors thought
he was slightly improved, but death
came suddenly few minutes before
s o'clock at night. The body will be
taken to the old home of Senator Hey
burn in Birmingham, Pa, for burial.
One of the staunchest of the regu-
lar Republicans and a man of strong
convictions, frankly and emphaticaIly
expressed on all occasions, Senator
Hepburn for years had been a con-
spicuous figure in the senate. He was
mostly known, perhaps, for his I'M
yielding bitterness toward the south
and frequent denLnciation of south
ern civil war leaders. He called the
placing of Lees statue in the capitas
an insult to the nation, and in dis
cussing this and many other incidents
engaged in acrimonious debates with
southern senators.
During the last few years, since the
development Of serious division in
the Republican ranks, Senator Hey
burn had played a prominent part In
the fight for party regularity. He al.
ways opposed Colonel Roosevelt,s con-
servation ideas and many Of his
speeches on the development of the
west, in which he was keenly inter-
ested, were devoted to arguments
against the former presidents policies.
One OF his first acts as a senator to
attract public notice was his strong
support of the pure food and drug act.
The senator's wide range of informa-
ton, fine memory and readiness OF
speech always assured him of atten-
ton when he rose to sneak.
