EVENTS
CAUSE OF BALKAN TROUBLE.
Race Hatred at the Bottom of the
Whole Difficulty.
The cause of the trouble in the Bal-
kans Is the rooted aversion of a Chris-
tian people to be ruled by a race whose
sway has been described, iu the same
terms which were applied to King
Bomba, as the “negation of God.” . .
For generations they have cher-
ished the hope that one or other of the
Great Powers would come to their aid.
The Great Powers have al-
ways felt that in any break-up of
Turkey passions and ambitions would
be aroused which would bring on that
most terrible of all scourges, a great
European war. and therefore have dis-
couraged any movement and turned
on the water whenever there was any
smoke to lie seen. Blit ... in striving
to perpetuate the statu quo ;n the
Balkans the Powers have been flying
in the face of fate. ... In Macedonia
or on its confines are found Albanians,
Greeks, Roumanians, Montenegrins,
* The great granite rock from which President Roosevelt addressed the peo-
ple of Freeport. 111.. June 3. marks the historic spot on which Lincoln and
Douglas stood in one or their seven debates. The rock was brought from
Devil's Lake. Wisconsin, by funds raised by members of the Freeport Vi Om-
an's club Another reminiscent feature of President Roosevelt s speech
was the presence on the presidential stand of Congressman Hitt, who at the
time of the great debates was the shorthand reporter foj- Mr. Lincoln.
YOUNGER INSISTS
ON HONESTY
Ex-Bandit Proves That His Reforma-
tion Is Complete.
At-La Plata, Mo., the other day,
Cole Younger did something original,
especially for a showman and an ex-
bandit. A patron of his wild west
show told Younger that he had been
short changed out of $a by an em-
ploye of the show. He pointed out
the man and Younger went to the em-
ploye and said: "Give this man liis
money back.” “What money?" asked
the man, feigning surprise. "Did you
hear me?” returned Cole. "Give this
man his money.” The employe com-
menced to explain. ”1 don t want any
explanations,” said hiB employer,
"pass that money over and pass it
over quick." The money was handed
over and the dishonest employe dis-
charged then and there. F rank
James, who stood by, approved the
action of his partner.
NEW LIBEL LAW APPROVED.

BUILDER OF GREAT SHIPS.
C. B. Orcutt Manages Mammoth Yards
at Newport News.
For many years the late Cotlis P.
Huntington cherished the idea of es-
tablishing a great American shipyard
where could be built the greatest of
battleships, and equipped with mam-
moth dry docks which could take in
for repairs the leviathans of the deep.
His work was taken up at his death by
his widow, Mrs. Arabella Huntington;
his nephew-, Henry E. Huntington, and
the president of the company. C. B.
Orcutt. The result is the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock com-
pany's great shipyard at Newport
News, Va.. the greatest and most per-
fectly equipped yards in the United
States.
A great feature of the yard is the
dm docks. Whenever a ship on the

Almost Too Suggsstive.
Having heard that the fire bell? wero
rung in Mount Holly to announce the
death of a well-known citizen of the
place, someone remarks—imp”rtinent-
iy7—that the suggestion might have
been conveyed in a more delicate man-
ner! __...
Boston Children Deteriorating.
Boston educators are having a live-
ly controversy in trying to decide
when children should begin their
studies in the public schools. It has
always been supposed heretofore that
Boston children took up the primary
branches at birth.
Can Not Devise Scheme.
Ixtrd Strathcona writes to London
that he would gladly welcome an ai
rangeraent by which money could bo
provided to assist suitable British fam-
ilies to emigrate to Canada, but no
scheme seems to commend itself either
to the government or to capitalists.
Beasts Are Better Housed.
The New- York Tribune observes
that the new animal houses in the
Central Park Zoo give wild beasts a
wider range of comfort than the tene-
ment dwellers in the crowded dis-
tricts of the East Side of Manhattan
have known for generations,
Educating Young Farmers.
The thoroughness in which the ag-
ricultural schools of the Western
states are going into the education of
farmers is illustrated by the announce-
ment that the Iowa State Agricultural
college has just established a course
of instruction in the slaughtering of
live stock. It is a laboratory' course
and the young-farmers will learn the
art by practical Instruction.

600 feet in length, the other 827 feet
long, 162 feet wide and a depth of 30

dry dock in the world and cost over a

The governor's message throughout
carries the idea that the bill is in-
tended to check reckless sensational-
ism and punish the unwarranted pub-
lication of untruths or half truths,
which actually do harm to those con-

lower the moral tone of the commun-
ity.

DROVE OUT THE GAMBLERS.
New Grand Vizier of the Turkish Em-
pire, who is Reported to be Respon-
sible for Much of the Present Trou-
ble.
Servians and Bulgarians, while there
is a small minority which, knowing
what Austria has done in Bosnia, looks
to her, and yet another minority
which looks to Italy. There are thus
no less than seven conflicting forces
in the field. The Servian will not give
way to the Bulgarian, or the Bulgarian
to the Greek; there has, indeed, al-
ready been one war between the minor
states in this part of the world, aris-
ing solely from these racial animosi-
ties and jealousies. It would not ac-
cord with the secret desires of more
than one great Po -ver to see this mass
of hostile communities welded Into
one coherent whole, nor is such a
thing as yet practically attainable.
Yet until this consummation is reached
the Balkans must remain a prey to
turbulence, intrigue and ill-suppressed
hostilities, it lies, then, with the dis-
cordant races of the Balkans to work
out their own salvation by finding
some means of union and confedera-
tion. They must do what Italy
achieved forty years ago, but for that
they need a Cavour, a House of Savoy,
and a generation of heroism and self-
sacrifice.—London Daily Mall.

Clergyman's Determined Opposition
Brought Him Victory.
What one determined clergyman
can do in the way of driving out
gamblers was demonstrated a few
days ago by Rev. F. H. Argo, the
young rector of an Episcopal church
at Rocklidge. Montgomery county, Pa.
Some poolroom men and others of
that ilk established quarters in his
vicinity, having been forced to leave
Philadelphia. Mr. Argo called on
them, but was denied admission to
the place. Thereupon he announced
that he was fully aware of their inten-
tions and he advised them to go away
quietly. “We will keep after you for
six months if necessary," said he
"and I promise eventual conviction
for every one of you.” The gamblers
held a consultation of about an hour.
Then one of the number called on the
clergyman and said that they were
about to leave. They were as good
as their word, for in about forty-eight
hours they and their belongings had
disappeared.
Platinum Very Valuable.
Platinum, which is indispensable in
some instruments of precision and is
useful in the arts particularly, be-
cuse when imbedded in glass it does
not crack it by unequal expansion, is
still much more valuable than gold.
Nine-tenths of the world's platinum
(about 8,300 pounds) comes from 'he
Ural mountains, which enables Rus-
sia to control the price.
Diet of Lizards.
Mr. J. W. Phillips, M. P., has re-

was "seeing things” after a dose of
