Making inquiry with an interpreter, Gov. Taft as- sisted that his personal appearance come up to what the sultan exe- d. "What's the matter?" asked Taft. "It's the beard," replied the preter.

The Prince of Monaco, who was prevented by a motor cycle accident from delivering his lecture at the Royal Institution of London, is perhaps the first of living oceanographers. When the British Association last met in Edinburgh the royal scientist drew large audiences to hear his accounts of his experiments upon the routes followed by the waters of oceans themselves, as distinguished from the voyagers upon them. The gambler at Monte Carlo would thus seem to serve science. Priest to Study at Yale. Priest to the Rev. Francis D.

Gilbert, formerly of Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera fame, wrote as follows to a London newspaper recently: "There is a line in your issue of May 15 that must have sent a thrill of joy through many a worthy home. I refer to the line in an article headed 'A Naval Battle,' in which I am referred to as the 'late W. S. Gilbert.' I am always sorry to spoil sport, but common candor compels me to admit (reliuctantly) that I am still alive."

Henry, the Academician, is considerably over sixty years old, but his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many persons. He is an inveterate joker, and also exceedingly absent minded. This is an actual experience he had at the Century club not long ago. It was a reception, and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle. He stooped down, lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man's trouser legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just above the patent leather tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. Time of Stopping a Train At a recent convention of airbrake men an interesting report was presented showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. A train running, eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ordinary pressure of seventy pounds took exactly half a mile to bring it to a stand. Other train speeds and reductions in stopping distances were these: Fifty miles an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; sixty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,010 to 1,530 feet; seventy-five miles, 2,295 to 1,840 feet.

BREAKS ALL RECORDS FROM ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC IN THREE DAYS' TIME. Amount of Most Remarkable Long Distance Run in History of Railroading. All previous records for railroad time from Atlantic to Pacific coast were broken on Friday, August 7, when the H. P. Lowe special rolled onto Los Angeles over the Santa Fe Henry P. Lowe, of the Engineering Company of America, left New York Tuesday afternoon, August 4, at 2:45, immediately upon hearing of his daughter's fatal illness in the distant California city of Los Angeles. Catching the Twentieth Century Limited over the New York Central and Lake Shore Railroads, he raced westward to Chicago at an average speed of 48.8 miles per hour, arriving in Chicago on Wednesday foronowen. Hurrying from the Lake Shore to the Santa Fe depot in a cab which was being held in waiting for him, the anxious father boarded the special and was outward bound twenty-three minutes after reaching the "Windy City." Composed of coach and hotel-car "Rocket" and drawn by a powerful iron grey-bound, with Engineer Duggan at the broottle, the Santa Fe special leaped on the race, with orders to make no stops except those to take water and coal and to change engines and crews. Leaving Dearborn station, Chicago, the train struck out toward the Southwest, with a whirl and a rush. Swiftly rising to the level of the elevated roadbed, it was off on its way toward Joliet before the grief-striken passenger had had time to settle down for his long ride. Indeed, it cannot be said that he settled down at all, for, in his anxiety to cover the ground in the shortest possible time, Mr. Lowe repeatedly urged that the speed be increased, and for a great share of the distance he rode in the engine cab, the rumble and roar of the nearly locomotive soothing, in a measure, his troubled mind. Faster and faster the giant ten-wheeler flew. Faster and faster the local way stations whizzed by the windows in an indistinct blurr. Crossing the State of Illinois in a space of time heretofore unequaled, the special called across the Mississippi at Fort Madison, clipped off a section of Iowa, traversed the northern part of the State of Missouri, bridged the broad Missouri river and steamed into Kansas City Union depot. With scarcely a halt in its wild flight it was off over the rolling prairie land of Kansas and on toward Colorado, climbing the ever-increasing grade as the Rockies were approached. On on and on speed, not only maintaining the schedule laid out, but training with every mile it flew. La Junta was reached at 9:10 a. m., August 6, and veering toward the southwest the special splice the soilide of the Colorado and New Mexico wilderness, plunging into Albuquerque at 5:37 p. m. From Albuquerque straight west, crossing the desert of New Mexico and Arizona, surmounting the range of the Glorieta mountains, the train reached Selligman in western Arizona at 4 a. m., Aug. 7. Leaving here it climbed the Williams range and entered the Golden State across the Colorado river. At 1:06 p. m. on Friday, August 7, the train rolled into Los Angeles ten hours ahead of the schedule as originally planned, the distance from Chicago to the Pacific coast (2,265 miles) having been covered at an average of 42.8 miles per hour, beating the time of the Santa Fe's California Limited by fifteen hours and sixteen minutes. While he was still this side of the Rocky mountains, it was known that Mr. Lowe's daughter had passed away. Messages were hurried ahead of the special. As the wires were down, the sad word was not received by Mr. Lowe until he had reached Las Vegas, New Mexico. In spite of his disappointment, however, Mr. Lowe expressed his gratitude to the Santa Fe officials who had tried to the utmost to assist him in his trouble. "The time made by the Lowe special is an achievement of which we are proud," said Passenger Traffic Manager Nicholson of the Santa Fe. "Our only regret is that the extraordinary speed could not avail Mr. Lowe as he hoped it might." "This crossing of the American continent in seventy-three hours and twenty one minutes establishes a record for the trans-continental trip that will not be surpassed for many days in come. When it is considered that the time was brought down to this remarkably low figure only by extraordinary speed on the level prairies and the broad table-lands, some idea of the tremendous strain may be gathered. For long distances a speed of considerably over a mile a minute was maintained. The route from the Mississippi to the Continental Divide is up-grade, with much steep mountain climbing in places. in 1800 a remarkable run was made by the Peacock special from West to East, its average speed being 41.7 miles an hour between Los Angeles and Chicago. This train, however, had the advantage of the down-grade from the Rockies to the Mississippi valley. The famous Nellie Bly special made the trip from San Francisco to Chicago in sixty-nine hours at an average speed of 37.1-3 miles an hour. By a comparison of these schedules a fair idea may be gathered of the remarkable record of the Lowe special. This achievement will go down in red letters in the annals of railroad-ing. The chronic kicker never has time to do anything else. HE PLAYED A PIANO 26 HOURS. An Illinois Musician Collapsed When He Had Finished. BELLEVILLE, ILL.—(Special.) J. M. Waterbury played a piano continuously twenty-six hours in a saloon on West A street, with never stop of longer than five seconds. He began playing at 8 o'clock Saturday night and finished at 10 o'clock Sunday night. He played rag time, lullables, grand opera, two-steps, waitzes, polakas and sacred music. Waterbury ate two sandwiches and drank freely of whiskey. He smoked cigarettes almost without cessation. The feat was the outcome of a wager. When Waterbury ceased playing his fingers were a mass of blisters, his nerves shattered and his muscles sore. He staggered from the piano and fell exhausted at the door. Friends assisted him to his home, where he is recovering slowly. WIRELESS COMPANIES TANGLE. Rivals Injure the Marconi System's Work—Much Trouble NEW YORK—(Special.) On each day on which there has been a yacht race the rival wireless telegraph companies have made every effort to interrupt the Marconi system, without any apparent purpose to transmit news. The result has been that up to this time, while the Marconi system has sent through about the only bulletins received at all, the work of that company has been greatly impeded, and thus far, they have been unable to transmit any messages. Whether it will be possible to do so during the next race cannot be said. The boats probably will pass out of the shore range on account of the haze, and it is not improbable that the Associated Press shall not be able to report their progress during some periods of the race. HE HELPED SLAVES ESCAPE. The Death of John Blazer, an Illinois Abolitionist CHICAGO.—(Special.) John Blazer, in slavery time one of the foremost abolitionists in Illinois, a leader in the underground railway movement, is dead here. Mr. Blazer was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, May 12, 1814. He knew Lincoln and Douglas and was a staunch supporter of Lincoln and helped more than 200 slaves to freedom. On one occasion Mr. Blazer was caught helping a slave to escape. So great was the feeling at that time that the people from miles around offered to pay his fine and support his family in case he was convicted. The case was dropped. Fatal Runaway Accident PAWTUCKET, R. I. — (Special.) Jennie Montague, aged 23, a telephone operator, is dead, and her companion, John F.

SCORES OF PEOPLE ARE MASSACRED Women and Children Now Homeless and Destitute—Kruschevo, the City That is in Ruins, Was a Prosperous Town of 10,000 People—Terrible Atrocities by Turks. MONASTIR, EUROPEAN TURKEY MONASTIR, EUROPEAN TURKEY, —(Special.) The once beautiful city of Kruschevo is a heap of ruins. The women and children are homeless, ex- posed to the weather and famine. The town is rendered uninhabitable by the odor of corpses, which are being gnawed by dogs and pigs, the Turkish authorities refusing to allow them to be removed, under the pretext that an inquest will be held. Kruschevo is situated on the summit of a hill, eight hours distant and to the northwest of Monastir. It contained 2,000 houses and 10,000 inhabitants, mostly Vlachs, calling themselfs Greeks. There were only 100 poor Bulgarian houses. The Vlachs are prosperous merchants who travel abroad on business, leaving their families in Kruschevo. After making fortunes abroad by their diligence and economy, they return to spend their wealth in Kruschevo, where they own fine houses, furniture and jewels. The Turkish inhabitants of the surrounding villages have long envied the prosperity of Kruschevo. The Macedonian committee, in concert with Bulgarian bands, has been DOWIE FASHIONS N John Alexander Dowie feels confident that his new design of the national emblem is an artistic improvement over the Old Glory which the forefathers fashioned. While the design which Dowie has patterned is to prevail in Zion City, Illinois, he has no objection to its being used in other sections of the country. In the Dowie design the field of blue has been dispensed with, but the stars and stripes have been retained, as he says they completing arrangements during several months with a view to occupying the town. In July last the authorities of Kruschevo, observing the threatening movement, begged the vall of Monastir to send reinforcements, as the garrison of thirty soldiers was insufficient to cope with an insurgent attack. These warnings were ignored. On August 12, the day fixed for the Bulgarian attack on Kruschevo, while four marriages were being celebrated in the Greek church, a number of Komitajis, by prearrangement, remained hidden in the church and were locked in by the sacristan on the conclusion of the ceremonies. At 10 o'clock at night they sounded an alarm by ringing the church bells. Simultaneously a band of 300 insurgents, headed by Peteroff entered the town, discharging their rifles. The terrified inhabitants remained indoors. The band first burned the residence of the mudir and massacred the garrison of Turkish soldiers and officials of the town, but the invaders spared the Turkish hares. On the following morning the Komitajis established a provisional government and instituted a new police and municipality. They killed ten Christians who they believed had betrayed the plans of the commission. The notables of the town were compelled to contribute $10,000 to the revolutionary fund. The Bulgarian villagers in the neighborhood, hearing that Kruschevo was in the hands of the insurgents, entered the town and demanded ammunition, which, however was unobtainable. A. $6,500,000 Battleship. LONDON.—(Special.) Princess Louise has launched the battleship Dominion at Barrow. The Dominion is the last of the three ships known as the King Edward VII. class. When completed, the Dominion will have cost $6,500,000. The Dominion is a first class battleship of 16,350 tons displacement. She is 425 feet long, has 19,000 indicated horse power and will have an estimated speed of over 18 knots. Her armament will consist of four 12-inch guns, four 9.2 inch guns, ten 6-inch and two torpedo tubes. The provisional government constructed a rampart enclosing the town and the inhabitants were ordered to melt down their spoons to make bullets. The Turks, informed of the capture of the town, sent from Perlep three squadrons of cavalry which were attacked en route and compelled to retire with a loss of 100 killed. On August 13 the Turks concentrated seven battalions and one battery on Kruschevo. They made an offer to the Komitajis to allow the women and children to leave the town. This proposal was declined and the bombardment began. The Komitajis quickly abandoned the town and escaped to the neighboring forest, where pursuit was impossible BUDAPEST FIRE HORROR. Unknown Number of People Burned to Death in a Fire Trap. BUDAPEST, HUNGARY. — (Special.) Fire started Monday evening in a four story building, the two lower stories of which were occupied by a fancy goods firm, upper floors being resident flats. There were 200 people in the building and the escape of many of them and of the residents on the third and fourth floors was cut off by the flames. The fire is still burning furiously, and it is impossible as yet to ascertain the number of victims. The warehouse contained piles of filmsy material and the flames spread with frightful rapidity and soon reached the residential floors. Only the people near the doors below were able to effect their escape. The residents above, seeing their escape cut off, clung desperately to the windows, screaming for help. Fifteen persons were saved in this way, but many in EW AMERICAN FLAG are of national significance. Instead of being crowded into a narrow margin, the stars are extended in the shape of a St. Andrew's cross across the whole banner. The stripes are narrower than on the original emblem, and are not woven so close together. Some time ago Dowle says he became convinced that the national emblem was faulty and inartistic, and he believes his pattern is an improvement. jumping missed the sheet, nine being killed on the spot, including two children, eight others fatally, and two seriously injured.

Estill Springs, Tenn., Aug. 24th.—Many questions are being asked of Mr. C. D. Holt of "his place in regard to his wonderful recovery. For over two years he has been down with his back. He was so very bad that he could not even lace his shoes, and from this condition he suddenly appeared well and strong as ever. It is no wonder therefore that his friends are asking him "How did you do it?" He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills did it," and adds "This remedy is a genuine good medicine and one that I can heartily recommend to everybody. "Everyone around here knows how very bad I was. I was so weak in my back that I couldn't do anything that needed stooping or bending over, and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills made me as you see, as well as ever I was." "They certainly had a wonderful effect on my case."

The man of to-day no matter what his calling, needs a sharp brain and to get this he needs food that not only gives muscle and strength but brain and nerve power as well. A carpenter and builder of Marquette, Mich., who is energetic and wants to advance in his business, read an article about food in a religious paper and in speaking of his experience he said: "Up to three year ago I had not been able to study or use my thinking powers to any extent. There was something lacking and I know now that it was due to the fact that my food was not rebuilding my brain. "About this time I began the use of the condensed food Grape-Nuts and the result has been I can think and plan with some success. It has not only rebuilt my brain until it is stronger and surer and more active, but my muscles are also harder and more firm where they used to be loose and soft and my stomach is now in perfect condition. I can endure more than twice the amount of fatigue and my nights' rest always completely restores me. In other words I am enjoying life, and I attribute it to the fact that I have found a perfect food." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The Poison of Hay Fever.

VICE CONSUL MAGELSSEN NOT KILLED, AFTER ALL. SHOT AT, BUT HE WAS NOT INJURED President Thinks It May Yet Be Needed at Beirut—Situation There Has Been Regarded as Unsafe for Some Time—Tension Greatly Relieved, However. CONSTANTINOPLE.—(Special.) It transpires that the report that Vice Consul Magelssen was killed is incorrect. An unknown individual fired at him and the bullets passed close to the Vice Consul, but did not touch him. The vall of Beirut afterward visited Vice Consul Magelssen, expressed his regrets for the outrage, and ordered measures for the arrest of the perpetrator. The error in stating that Vice Consul Magelssen had been killed arose from a mistake in a cipher telegram. NEW YORK.—(Special.) In response to a telegram of inquiry regarding the reported assassination of Vice Consul Magelssen at Beirut, Syria, Mr. Freyer, treasurer of the board of the Presbyterian mission at Beirut, has cabled to the Associated Press as follows: Beirut, Syria, August 28. Although the attack made on Vice Consul Magelssen was evidently premeditated, the bullets missed him and he escaped uninjured. FREYER. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) A decidedly new turn in the case of the United State Vice Consul William C. Magelssen at Bierut, Syria, who was reported to have been assassinated last Sunday, developed when it became known that the report was incorrect, and that, although Mr. Magelssen had been shot at, he had not even been injured. This information came to the state department in a dispatch from United States Minister Leishman at Constantinople, who said the mistake in making the original announcement was due to an error in the transmission of the cipher dispatch from Consul Ravndal, at Bierut, in reporting the incident to the minister. 3 The dispatch from Mr. Leishman followed closely on the Associated Press bulletin on the same subject, which had been shown to the prominent officials of the government. The dispatch from the minister was communicated at once at Oyster Bay, but up to a late hour Thursday night nothing had been heard from him on the subject at the state department. Its contents was extremely gratifying to the officials of the government, as it relieved the situation of its extreme tension and leaves the way open for amicable and peaceful adjustment of the incident. Acting Secretary Loomis declined to make public the text of Minister Leishman's dispatch, but he gave a summary of its contents. As stated in the press dispatch, it showed that Mr. Magelsen had been shot at by some person at the time unknown to the officials, but that he had not been hit. The local Turkish officials were prompt to express their regret at the occurrence and were exerting themselves to apprehend the assassin, but thus far had been unsuccessful. The minister's dispatch also said that Consul Ravndal had reported to him that some of the foreign consuls located at Beirut had reported to their governments that the situation at that place had become exceedingly unsafe; that this condition of affairs had existed for some time and that something ought to be done to relieve the tension. The opinion was expressed that the attempted assassination of Magelsen probably would bring matters to a focus, the attention of the Turkish government being drawn to the matter in this forcible way and some effort thus be made to avoid further trouble. Frank Olmstead Dead. BOSTON—(Special.) Frederick L. Olmsted, the noted landscape architect, died Friday at Waverly, Mass., aged 81 years. Death was due to weakness, resulting from ill health and advanced age. A widow, two sons and a daughter survive. Mr. Olmstead was a native of Hartford, Conn. He was the architect of Central park, New York; of Prospect park, Brooklyn; Mount Royal, Montreal; the grounds of the Leland Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal.; the capitol grounds, Washington, and the grounds of the Chicago world's fair.
