Attorney-General George w. Wick ersham said recently of the sentence imposed at Indianapolis on the dyna- mite conspirators:
 "The conviction of those fellows is one of the best things that the Depart ment of Justice has ever done. The laws of the land must be applied to all alike-to President Mellen of the New Haven, and President Chamber lain of the Grand Trunk, and MT. smithers of the Board of Directors of the Grand Trunk and to Frank M. Ryan and his associates"
 Mir. Wickersham said the Depart ment of Justice would likely follow the usual course of turning the eyi- dence upon which the defendants in the dynamiting case were convicted over to the State authorities. This means. he said, that the men convict ed in the Federal Court can be tried in the State Courts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. - Alarm seized the officers of the United States Treasury today upon the discovery of a remarkable counterfeit five-dol. lar silver certificate, the most danger ous imitation of American currency since the famous Monroe head one hundred dollar bill was suppressed in 1898.
 So nearly perfect is this spurious note that officers of the cash room of the Treasury declared it was genuine and unswervingly held to their belief that it was a washed note. Herman Moran. assistant chief of the United States Secret Service. detected slight variations from the original, however and stamped it mQualifiedly as d counterfeit.
 In the case of the Monroe head" bill the whole issue was withdrawn from circulation because of the dangerous imitation, It will hardly be practicable to resort to this pre- caution in connection with the new counterfeit because the fiye-dollar "ln- dian head" silver certificate is so gen erally in circulation. The counter felt was discovered in New York City.
 Widespread warnings to the public were issued today. "The general ap- pearance of this counterfeit" says the notice lis calculated to deceive even careful handlers of money"

VIENNA. Jan. An Austrian woman living in Kavalia has written a letter dated Dec. g, but only now published in the Montags Zeitung, in which she describes fearful atrocities by Bulgarian Komitajis upon the Tur- kish inhabitants. Having described the arrival of the Komitadjis in Kay ala and tue arrest of the Governor, she proceeds:
 "On the following day man hunt or more properly speaking, Turk hunt, began. People who had com mitted no other crime than that they were Islamites, and these the best situated in the city, were taken pris- oners and executed without even a pretense of a trial in the most cruel manner
 At midnight prisoners were awak- eped. bound together while halt naked, in twos and threes, and then wounded in the abdomen, between the ribs and in other parts of the body with bay onets. The murderers then reversed their rifles and beat them to death with the butt ends of guns like mad dogs Age or rank was no reason for mercy. On the first night thirty-nine were tortured to death, on the second fifteen. on the third eight and on the following night thirty, until 115 were killed in Kavala alone.
 "In a neighboring city the Turks de fended themselves and shot two sol

diers. Thereupon their officer took out his watch and said: It is four o'clock; now you may do what you like to the Turks until four tomorrow. That was enough for the soldiers, The brutal wretches murdered 1,2OO Turks in twenty-four hours.
 "At Xanthie the people took refuge in the mosques, but the bloodhounds followed them there, cutting them down and hacking them to pieces. All this was done in the name of the cross and in honor of God. The drama was climaxed with the boheading of a rich Turk, whose head was then placed on top of a box and a pipe placed in his mouth.
 "When all the Turks were massa' cred the soldiers turned their atten- tion to the Jews, but naturally only to the rich Jews. They were carried away to Scherisaban and tortured for six days and then liberated on the payment of ransom of $55,OOO, but the manner of their liberation was all most more horrible than their fear of capture. At midnight the prison gates were suddenly opened and the cry of 'Forwardr was heard. Natur' ally they believed their last hour had come, and they were nearly fright ened to death. Meanwhile soldiers murdered the entire male population of Scherisaban, Turkish village, and only three men, who managed to es cape yheir notice remained living"

FRAME. BUM AND. HOBO.

| Caste Is not confined to the Orient
and the older nations of Europe, but
exists, even in the supposedly uncon-
iyentional kingdom of Weary Willie.
Ia tramp is not a hobo, and hobo
lis not a bum. The distinction may
mot be recorded in the ordinary die
itionaTy, but is given on the authority
!of JEFF Davis, President of the In
ternational Association of the Unem-
Iployed," who was held in captivity
long enough on Sunday afternoon to
deliver an address before the Chicago
Federation of Labor.
| Davis told his hearers that there is
great difference between the three
classes of men, and that they should
be careful in judging the downs and
outs"
IF a man applies at farm house
with unshayen whiskers and out
stretched hand, asking for a bite to
eat" and then runs away at the sight
of a wood pile, he is tramp Davis
said.
IF man sits ali day on the curb
ling in front oil a 'barrel-house' with
out nerve or ambition to look for
work, he is bum.
But when a man applies at the
door of a farm house and asks the
right to work for a few hours to pay
for breakfast, he is member of the
International Association of the I'm
Iemployed--a hobo" ts.,
| Davis also asked the members OF
the Trades Assembly to speak OF his
Organization he represented in terms
of respect because the members are
union men.
I'VE are forced to organize for SELF
protection" he said. when the Chi
cago police could not tell the differ
Ience between an auto bandit and a
man looking for work they arrested
men who could not produce sample
Iof the coin of the realm and booked
them as buns
Society has been investigating
the hobo for a thousand years, and
now the hoboes are going to investl'
gate society.
This investigation will be made at
the convention of the hobOes' union
to be held In New Orleans the week
of January 20. We are going to ask
that any member of the hoboes' union
with a card in his pocket be given
the right to vote at a national cleo
ton, no matter in what part of the
country his fancy may lead him"
And so it is written, and let the
students of photography make the
most of the definitions. as they will
probably stand whether or not they
are incorporated in the authorities
and classics.
