WILL THE FIGHTING TURK e.
 BE DRIVEN OUT OF EUROPE

war with Turkey has so much surprised all readers as the prompt success of the Greeks, Servians and Bulgarians against their common and heretofore dreaded enemy. Since his first appearance in Europe, about 600 years ago, the fight
 ing Turk has been a terror to all h S foes. He has extorted the admiration of his enemies by his dash, his desparate courage, his dogged resolution, his def ance of the most fearful odds and his contempt of life as the price of victory
 Four hundred and fifty-nine years ago, in the fateful year of 1453, the Turks took Constantinople, breaking the last tendons that bound the world to imper. ial Rome by putting an end to the East ern Empire. Then began the subuga- tion of the Balkan Peninsula, and the terror of the Turkish name was fear fully enhanced by it's association with a great comet, one of the most imposing apparitions of Halley's comet, which hung like a sword of Damocles over frightened Christendom while the Turks were advancing to Belgrade, now the capital of Servia But the comet was a good omen after all, for the Turks were defeated. But in 1883, and strangely enough, when the same comet. on an- other of it's returns, for their herald. they pushed as far as Vienna. They failed to capture the beautiful capital of the Danube, but they had obtained a baoad foothold in Europe, from which no power has yet succeeded in pushing them back.
 They have lost ground, it is true, and the modern kingdoms of Servia, Bull garia and Roumania have been carved out of territory which they won in their first resistless rush upon Europe, but still they have Constantinople, the prize that Russia has vainly grasped after since the days of Peter the Great, and still there seems to be no power in Christian Europe great and courageous enough to drive the waning Crescent across the Bosphorus. --S.

Model Prisoner Is Ont

From the New York American.
Waupun, Wis.-Edward Eckart of
Pennsylvania was today paroled from
the Wisconsin pententiary after 81
years of actual time served behind the
bars.
He was convicted of murder when II
years old he comes out of the dark
ness at the age of 5S. in splendid
health and with a profession to his
credit that will permit him to earn
a good livelihood
Eckart's victim was Charles Peterson,
also of Pennsylvania The two were
tramping in Wisconsin during the ex-
cessiyely cold winter in 1875 In a quar-
rel over a fire started beside the rail-
road track near jefferson, Peterson was
killed and Eckart was sentenced to life
imprisonment for the murder. He never
admitted the crime, maintaining that
Peterson was killed by tramp.
In the 81 years of prison confine-
ment no mark of demerit has been
placed against the Waupon record OF
Eckart He is pronounced the model
prisoner of the century. Warden Wood
worth and other wardens before him
favored the paroling of Eckart, ex-
pressing the belief that the few years
yet vouchsafed him will be devoted
to useful citizenship.
Eckart cannot leave Wisconsin and
his conduct must be exemplary in ev-
tiy way otHci Wise HIS pdIole may De
summarly removed and he will be re-
duired to return to the penitentiary for
the remainder of hih days.
In the third of a century of i'm
prisonment his kin has deserted him
and he does not know the whereabouts
of his wife and daughter In the COM
partive1y few years of freedom prior
to his imprisonment Eckart saw much
of the world. sailing the salt waters
and penetrating the diamond fields of
South America.
The Judge who sentenced him ana
the district attorney who prosecuted
are dead and only three of the jurymen
are yet living.
Eckart never lost hope. Alone and
without money he managed to bring
his case before the supreme court OF
and the circuit court of ap-
peals of the United. States. but at every
turn he was thwarted. In a desperate
last hope he appealed to a Milwaukee
newspaper man. who was directly in
strumental in obtaining his conditional
release from the prison life that seemed

Bottled Note Tells of Jewels

From the New York Times
Paris. is.-EIistorians are greatly puzzled
over a remarkable document. found by
a soldier at Mont Louis in the Eastern
Pyrenees.
The paper, which was found in a bot
tie, was dated September 4, 1870. the
memorable day on which the Third Re
public was established, and Empress Eu-
genie fled from Paris. 1t purports to
give list of jewels brought to the Em-
press by Senor Manuel Ferez. of Madrid
to be handed over to her in Paris.
The Empress is referred to throughout
by her maiden name of the Countess de
Montijo.
The total value of the jewels and other
articles enumerated is given as 81, $50, 900.
and among the separate items mentioned
are two pearl bracelets given to the F,m-
press by Queen Victoria and worth $780,
600; pearl and diamond necklace, pre-
sented by the Car of Russia, and worth
100000 and Bank of France bills for
$685. 900.
Careful search around the spot where
the bottle was found revealed the
presence of human bones. and the discov-
cry, If genuine, has all the elements of a
romantic mystery.
The identity of Manuel Perez who is
described as bringing the valuabes from
Madrid, has not yet been cleared up.

DECLINES
a IN SECURITIES
Contracted Bank Clearings
Point to Diminished Com
mercial Activity

New York, May 24-Whie the stock
market itself has been almost idle from
day to day with price fluctuations mar
row and shifting. the financial world has
been preoccupied with the problem of
supplying requirements for new capi-
tai.
Neither the New York city bond sale
nor the Chinese loan issue abroad proved
sufficiently conclusive to remove the
doubt as to the definite basis on which
the demand for capital to adjust itself.
The good features claimed for both is
sues did not alter the fact that they
failed to awaken speculative enthusiasm
all over the country proves that cities
and states are spending more money than
the available credit justifies," was con-
sdered significant. The Chinese loan at
) per cent bonds offered at 90 and un-
derstood to yield by 81 to China, offers
small incentive to compete by less prodi-
sal borrowers. Conditions in the foreign
exchange market point concusively to
foreign influences as the source of the
strain The stringency in the capital
market proves trying to corporation bor-
rowers with maturing obligations Many
OF these are impending, the fruit of the
policy of short term borrowing pursued
for several years past.
Several declines in securities find an
explanation in the difficulties in meet
ing this situation. The peculiar sensitive
ness of the market to the Union Pacific
dissolution is due to the necessity of find
ing resources at such time to take
over the holdings of Southern Pacific.

New investors also took a hand, maxi
ing liberal volumn of business much
in contrast with the usual week end cur

by statements that 100000 acres in south
west Kansas were in critical condi-
ton with each day enlarging the damage
and making the danger worse.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, May 2i.-The net results
of the weeks trading in cotton were an
advance of Is to % points. The high
prices were made on Thursday and the low
prices on Monday. At the highest the
trading months were 2s to 20 points over
last weeks close; at the lowest they
We're / to 3 points under The range OF
prices was 90 to 80 points.
Bull N aggressiveness put the market
up this week. Certain powerful interests
entered into operations looking toward
the liquidation of the extensive short in
terest with considerable degree of sue
cess. At the end of the week the weaker
short element had been covered at loss.
The short interest that remained appeared
to be strong and proof against manipula-
tive attacks 1t was pointed out by these
shorts that the market had been weak
ened technically by the short covering
and was more in a position to be influ-
enced by bearish news than for long
time past.
Weather conditions on the whole were
called very favorable. The drouth that
has been complained of over a consider
able portion of the belt and especially in
the eastern half. was effectually broken
by rains that extended practically through
the entire week. Toward the end of the
week temperatures were low but earlier
weather was warm enough to iring late
planted seed up quickly and to cause
good growth on young plants. Deter
mined buying by bulls and much bullish
talk about the Iateness of the crop and of
the amount of replanting yet to be done
offset the favorable features in the
weather and caused weaker shorts to
liquidate.
In the spot department prices gained
&c. middling closing at u 7-16c, against
u 5-16c last week and Ii 11-16c this week
last year. Sales on the spot amounted to
2742 bales against 1717 last week and 225S
this week last year. Sales to arrive
amounted to 1859 bales. against 246i last
week and 1856 this week last year.

NERVOUS FEELING
Close Steady at Net Gain of
3 to Loss of 3
Points

New Orleans, May 2i.-The cotton mar
ket today again displayed the nervous
feeling it had in the early. part of the
week. Bulls were more satisfied to take
their profits than TO carry their cotton
over Sunday, and this, coupled with a
moderate amount of fresh short selling,
principally from the scaping element.
worked against values in the face of re-
ports of cold weather over a considera-
BILE portion of the belt.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to. points on good cables and low
temperatures. Good rains in the Attain
tics. in sections that still needed mois-
ture. balanced TO some extent the cold
weather talk, but ON the whole the
weather reports Of the morning favored
the bulls rather than the bears. Around
the middle of the morning. after one or
two small Says, prices were 6 to points
over yesterdays close. At this level ring
traders sold short for a turn and offer
ings from satisfied longs increased the re-
ports that We're put down until they were
up to down, compared with yester.
days quotations. The close was steady
at a net gain of points to net loss of
8 points.
Bulls put out much gossip during tho
morning, calling attention to the fact that
temperatures over q large part of the belt
were down around 90 degrees While in
Alabama they went as low as 4s. but at
no time did real buying power develop
Bears called the forecast of fair weather
for practically the entire belt very IA
yorable.

SEGREGATION PLAN
SAID TO Be SETTLED
Market Stimulated by News
Settlement for Separating
Hartman System

New York, May 24.-Officlal declarations
that settlement had at last been reached
In the negotiations for segregation of the
Hartman system in compliance with the
supreme courts mandate, stimulated the
stock market strongly today. Gossip on
the exchange was TO the effect that the
segregation plan provided for cancellation
of the $126.0o0,0O0 of Southern Pacific
stock held by Union Pacific in return for
which Union Pacific would receive con-
troll Of Central Pacific with cash and
bonds having an additional value of s20.
coo.0oo The stock exchange house, with
which the largest buyer of Union Pacific
made the statement that "the bull of
segregation will be issued next Tuesday"
No authoritative confirmation of these
reports was to be had. The statement
was made by a representative of the
banking interests which have acted as fis-
cal agents for the Hartman roads that
he knew Of no settlement in the matter.
The response of the stock market, how
ever, was emphasized. Union Pacific for
the first time in several weeks rose above
loo, gaining 8 points. Southern Pacific adj
yaneed Q points. The upturn in these
stocks impaired strength to the market
as whole, and gains of to 2 points were
made by many of the representative is
sues.
There was some further selling of stocks
which have been Under pressure recently.
Pennsylvania touched a new low figure
at 1903 and Canadian Pacific sagged 2
points on renewed selling for foreign ac-
count. Both these stocks. however, raj
lied when the list went up.
While the banks gained cash on the
week, the increase of 81. $50. coo was consid-
erably smaller than was indicated by
known movements of currency. Another
small addition was made to cash re-
serves.
