London.—The advent of a new Bul-
garian cabinet, comprising a coalition
of the liberal groups seems to have
brought a prospect that peace nego-
’.iatinos soon will be entered into. After
vain attempts to negotiate separately
with Roumania. the Bulgarian govern-
ment accepted the advice of Austria
and Russia and offered Roumania an
important territorial concession. Bul-
garia also sent delegates to meet the
Servian and Greek and presumably
Roumania representatives at Nish to
negotiate an armistice and peace.
It Is confirmed from Athens that
Servta, Greece and Montenegro are
ready to participate in these negotia-
tions. Turkey, however, has intro-
duced a new complication and has no-
tified the European powers of her in-
tention to make the Maritza river the
new frontier, giving as her reason that
she always has claimed this frontier,
but that the powers set aside the
claim in order to expedite peace; that
the porte would be prepared to settle
the question by diplomatic means, but
that the atrocities and vandalism of
the Bulgarians in the occupied terri-
tories make it impossible to hope for
■i diplomatic settlement and that new
conditions arising from the last war
between the allies make it doubly
necessary for Turkey to maintain a
frontier guaranteeing safety to Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles.
'rhe norte promises not to cross th*
new Maritza frontier and asks the
powers’ assistance in establishing it
bo as to secure durable relations be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria.
if is no% likely that Europe will per-
mit the decisions of the London con-
ference thus to be thrust aside.
Turks Enter Adrianople.
The Turks have entered Adrianople
after a brief conflict with the Bulgar-
ian garrisno, says a Sofia dispatch to
the Times. Bashibazouks are burn-
ing, pillaging and committing atroc-
ities
The Roumanian troops are advanc-
ing in an easterly direction and treat-
ing eastern Roumania.
Tho events of the last few days,
adds the correspondent, “indicate tlm
complete collapse of the authority of
Europe."
The Servians and Greeks essayed to
push their attacks all along the line,
but everywhere were repulsed.
Bulgarian Crisis Reached.
Telegraphing from Sofia, the cor-
respondent of the Dally Mail says:

manian troops have reached Orchantji

Turkish cavalry, has arrived* at Ad-
rianople. where the Bulgarian garri-
son of 2,000 has recived orders not to

Discipline.
The rigor of discipline seems unde-
sirabel to many in the present gener-
ation. They are unaware that obedi-
ence is strengthening and peace giv-
ing. A military regime, with its iron-
clad discipline, does not break spirit.
It makes rSln ready for forced
marches and to meet death. If disci-
pline hurt the human spirit, then sol-
diers would never win battles. Bat-
tles would he won by mobs. Disci-
pline does not diminish life. It en-
hances life, and so confers a sense of
peace.—Collier’s Weekly.

j all you need, you glutton,” exclaimed
I the Fort Scott man.—Kansas City

Monarchs Not Over Cleanly
King Charles II of England dressed
shabbily and Louis XIV of Franco
disliked to wash, a little cold cream
applied with a handkerchief being tho
chief tribute he paid to cleanliness.
In St. Simon’s detailed account of the
king’s day, from the passing of hia
periwig through the closed bed cur-
tains in the morning to the ceremo-
nial placing of the night shirt over
liis Bhoulders when he retired, thera
is no mention of any ablutions.
Pauls Valley.—Practically the entire
available male population of Pauls
Valley is scouring the broken country
south of here for Henry Ragland, ne-
gro, who shot and killed David Vaness,
7-year-old son of Charlie Vaness, en-
gineer at a local Ice plant. All who
could arm themselves are carrying
guns, there are ropes and tar in the
mob, and leaders have declared noth-
ing can prevent a lynching when Rag-
land Is captured.
According to the story of the shoot-
ing told by the wounded boy and two
companions, they had gone to Rag-
land’s house to purchase a water-
melon. Other boys had been stealing
melons from Ragland and he had shot
at two of these. When he saw the
Vaness boy In the melon patch he
opened fire. The boy never made any
attempt to run and the third bullet
struck hint lu the left side, penetrat-
ing his Intestines. Believing he had
killed the boy, Ragland carried him to
a creek nearby and threw him Into
the water. The shock of the water
brought the boy baok to consciousness
and he waded ashore. His companions
gave the alarm and while some were
oaring for the Injured boy, others
started in pursuit or the negro who
made good liis escape. The boy dlecj
at midnight.
Left a Clue
Sunday School Teacher—"Now,
Kate, how did God know that Adam
and Eve had eaten the apple from the
tree of knowledge?” Small Kate—“I

Alone Twenty-Four Year*
It was stated at an -Inquest on a
woman at Newington, England, re-
cently, that rrie liini been”a tenant of
Ponsonby buildings, Blackfriars, for
24 years, and the porter said he had
never known her to have a visitor.
Her sister happened to call, and at
her request he burst the door open
and found the woman ueau. Futrehr
evidence showed that the cause of
death was bronchitis, and that the
woman had been dead for two days.
Coincidence
It was five-year-old Harold’s first
visit to an Episcopal church, and dur-
ing the sermon he examined the lit-
erature in the hymn book rack. A
card upon which waa printed the
church calendar absorbed his interest
for awhile, and when he reached
"Ash Wednesday,” he held it up to
his mother, remarking in a loud whis-
per; “That’s the day our ashes are
always collected, too!"
Adapting Oneself to Change
As long as we live we must look
for changes—changes for the better,
changes for the worse. True wisdom
is to change with a good grace in
Changing circumstances.
Between Two Loves.
An Atchion young man who own*
a motor car and has been courting a
girl several years has decided he can’t
afford to keep a car and a wife both—
and up to the hour the Globe went to
press he had taken no steps to dispose
of his car.
Calling
“There Is nothing sweeter,” says
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, “than to hear in
the serene hour of a starlit night a
gentle voice calling, calling you."
Well, it is not so all-fired sweet whan
the other fellow has a full house »ud
you can’t show more than a measley
pair of queens.—New Orleans States.
To Remedy Rattling Windows
Do not allow yourself to be made
wakeful and nervous by rattling win-
dows or doors when the comb on
your dresser makes a perfect wedge
easily Inserted and as easily removed.
Especially annoying are such noises
in hotels and other strange bedrooms,
but even there the comb Is at hand
and equal to all sizes of cracks.
Queer Korean Foodstuffs.
The use of grasses, roots and the
tender bark of trees, in Korea, does
not necessarily imply a deficiency of
food supplies. These articles are
much in use by Koreans, even of the
well-to-do classes, for salads and side
dishes at meals.
Cheering Thought
While mourning the wickedness of
the present age, it is well to remem-
ber that if we had lived in another
age we would be dead now.
