BULGARIA
One of the Leading Factors in th e Recent Balkan War Coming to
America With Queen Eleanor a, the Princess Eudoxia arid
an Army of the Leaders of His Country, to Study Our
Methods and Absorb New Ideas.
Now York. Czar Ferdinand lo com
ing to tho United States. Tho man
who would bo king, and who waB and
is king, and what Is moro, czar, Is
coming to America with Queon Elea
norn, the PrlnceBS Eudoxia, and many
of tho loaders of his country. Ho Is
looking for new Ideas, American ldeaB,
for this ruler is tho apostle of modorn
ideas to his people and In full sym
pathy with them.
Thoro was a tlmo whon tho world
thought Ferdinand would never bo
anything moro than tho Man Who
Would He King. When tho young
prince of Saxo-Coburg was considering
tho offer of tho Bulgarian leaders, Bis
marck succinctly remarked to him:
"Take it, young man, it will always
bo u pleasant remlnlscenco."
But it was 27 years ago whon
Ferdlnnnd first began to rulo tho Bul
garians and tho experience isn't a
reminlsconce yet. Every year thore
are rumors Ferdinand is going to ab
dicate, Ferdinand Is going to bo as
saBslnatcd, Ferdinand Is tired of his
job, and somo power or other Ib going
to givo Ferdinand the experienco of
his predecessor, who was practically
kidnaped by tho Russians.
Hut every January 1 Ferdinand is
thero on hand as usual, working full
office hours, drilling his troops,
scheming with bis captains of Indus
try, planning now railroads and portB,
Intriguing In regal fashion, and alto
gether doing buslncos at tho old stand.
Ferdlnnnd ought to prove intensely
lntorostlng to America for ono thing,
If for no othor. Ho 1b tho world's
champion trust maker and magnato
creator. Ferdinand came in 1887 to
rulo over what was sometimes called
the Peasant state. It was a country
of rough, capable, self-reliant farmers.
Thoro was no middle cIqbb (mer
chants) and no upper class (aristoc
racy). Ferdinand has created these
two classes. Ho has caused Bulgarian
life to bo largely patterned on tho
rest of Europe. But his methods are

dovelop his crude nation ho deliber
ately set out to favor certain indi
viduals. Grasping methods ho encour
aged. And these industrial empires
ho mado tho framowprk of his own
political empire.
What lls success haB beon was seen
In tho recent Balkan wars. In the
first war tho Bulgarians swept al
most to tho gates of Constantinople,
carrying everything beforo them. Of
courso, Ferdinand, or Bomobody mado
a gravo mlstako in starting tho sec
ond war, whoro Bulgaria tacklod Sor
vla and Greece and lost almost nil sho
had gained In tho first conflict But
this sotback in tho faco of great odds
did not upset tho argumont that Ferdi
nand had dono wonders in his quarter
of a century at tho head of tho Bul
garian pcoplo
In person Ferdinand Is largo, ho has
a magnificent heavy board and a pres
ence which commands respect among
ono of tho roughost and most head
strong peoplo In tho world Ho is a
man of tho strangest contrasts. Sus
pected of having tho man who put
him on tho throne, Stnmbouloff, tho
great Bulgarian patriot, put to death
with hideous tortures, he is yet In his
calmer moments dovoted to tho sim
plest of hobbles, tho collection of but
terflies and wild flowers. It 1b said ho
spent tho last moments beforo going
forth to whr with tho Turks among his
beloved cabinets and albums,
Yet ho Is a man of tho most redoubt
ablo courage, of tho utmost fierceness
on occasion, and if his enemies aro to
bo credited only a little, of an un
scrupulousness seldom met In theso
modern days. Ho wss accuood of bo
lng behind tho capture of Miss Stono,
rf 'H' laaMBBaHk'
tho Amorlcan missionary, who was
hold by bandits for many weoks.
Ho is a hard worker and a thorough
student. Among other tilings, ho has
tho distinction of bolng the only mon
arch who can talk Yiddish. Bulgaria
has bocn freed of tho curso of antl
semltlBtn which has thrown its dark
shadow over Houmanla and RusBla.
Fordlnand won tho first royal per
sonago to go aloft in a Hying machine.
On July 5, 1910, his majesty went for
Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
a flight with Dalamlnne, a Bolglum
aviator. Priuco Boris, tho heir-apparent
to tho throne, and Princess Cyrille,
tho king's second son, also flew that
day.
Besides theso two sonB, Ferdinand
lias two daughters. All four aro chil
dren of his first wife, who died in 1899.
His second wlfo was beforo her mar
riage Princess Eleunora of Rouss. She
was forty-olght yoars old whon ho mar
ried her und It Is said ho took this step
in order to protect his daughters from
court intrigues'.
This is not tho first tlmo that Fordl
nand has seen America. In 1879 ho
visited his brother, Prince Augustus of
Saxo-Coburg, who had married tho
younger of tho two daughters of tho
Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil. Tho
princess mndo a long botanical voy
ago in tho lntorlor of Soutli America
and when Fordlnand returned to
Europo ho wroto it up In Latin that It
might bo read by all scientists. The
visit of Ferdlnnnd horo olght years
beforo ho ascended tho throno, did
not attract much attention, and llttlo
was written about It.
When Ferdinand decided ho would
tnko tho moro high sounding titlo of
czar Instead of prlnco ho was not arro
gantly assuming something for which
thoro was no basis in history and
precedent. It was a reversion to what
Bulgaria had boon In the tenth cen
tury. At that tlmo the Bulgarians,
revolting from tho Byzantlno empire,
established a now realm, of which tho
capital was tho ancient city of Tlr
nova. Bulgaria becamo a powerful
state, extending to tho Adriatic as
well iiB to tho Black sea, and its chief
ruler, Symen, was crowned as czar.
Whon tho commissioners of tho Pan-nmn-Paciflc
exposition visited Ferdi
nand recently ho told them of his ad
miration for things American, and set
before them an American dinner, In
which wild turkey, pork and beans fig
ured prominently.

SEEK GOLD IN DESERTED CITY
Panning, Rocking and Sluicing Ruins
and Sidewalks Find Nuggets
and Coins.
Redding, Cal. Tho streets and ruins
of the old town of Shasta, onco tho
most prosperous gold mining camp in
tho stato, aro bolng mlnod for gold
and coin. For weeks Perry Davis and
Harry Paigo havo been making $10 a
day each.
They aro panning, rocking and sluic
ing underneath tho sidewalks, in tho
ruins of the brick buildings that lino
tho weBt sido of tho "good old town"
and In Main street itself. They recover
not only gold nuggets and gold dust,
but silver nnd gold coins.
In tho good old days ono could
scarcely walk up Main street of Shasta
for tho jam of pack animals and tho
crowd of miners on their way to tho
placer diggings near by. Gold dust was
plentiful. Tho miners spent money
llko princes.
No one claims the brick buildings
that havo stood tenantless for years.
Davis and Paigo havo ripped up tho
floors and worked ovor tho rubbish
they found underneath. Thrown into
tho sluice boxes or elso panned out by
hand, this rubbish line yielded nuggets
and coins. Dimes by tho scoro have
boon rocovered, some of them dating
back to 1814, and nono of them being
of moro recent mlntago than tho early
fifties.

New York. John Tonkes, proprietor
of tho Colonial hotel, Eighth avenuo

among them Colonel Bambrich, a Civil

Thoy got out all except Colonol
Bambrich. Ho took a chair and raised
it to throw at tho animal. The streak
of fur rushed botweon his logs and
upset him.
Weary of marathoning up and down
tho floor, the cat took, to tho sholvps,

jointly by Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. The story Is told that Clay asked
Webster to lndorso a note with him for $500.
. "All right," said tho studious and thoughtful Webster, "I'll do so, Clay, if
you'll mako It $1,000 and give mo half." Clay agreed to tho compact, and tho
two set out for Banker Rlggs, signed the note with due solemnity, and se
cured tho proceeds. As thoy swung out across tho threshold on to tho
avenuo and divided the money, Webster in his ponderous voice remarked to
Clay, "Henry, why do you suppose Mr. Rlggs wanted our names on that note?"
"It baffles mo, Daniel," responded Clay, "perhaps ho desired some me

Bachelor Member of House Embarrassed by Plea
REPRESENTATIVE MOSES KINKAID of Nebraska, a bachelor, was em
barrassed In tho houso the other dny. Ho was almost obliged to agreo
to got married In order to secure tho pnssago of "a bill providing that tho
marriage of a homestead entryman to
a homestead entrywomnn shall not im
pair tho right of either to a patent,
after compliance with tho law for ono
year."
Mr. Klnkald said tho present laws
aro an impediment to marriage In tho
public land states, and that this condi
tion of affairs should bo no longer tol
erated. ,
"Tho gentleman from Nebraska has
a good deal of nerve to call this bill
up," suggested Representative Mann
of Illinois. "Ho says it Is against
public policy to prevent marriage, while tho gentleman all his life has been
preventing ono marriage that ought to take place."
Mr. Klnkald blushed and stuttered and then exclaimed haltingly:
"I think I can make' up for this omission, dereliction, or lack of oppor
tunity, by helping to promoto a law of this kind."
"If I thought this bill wnB designed In any way to permit tho gentlemau to
Join his affairs with some ontrywoman I should cortainly favor its passage,"
returned Mr. Mann. "I doubt whether the gentleman can mako up for his
own fallings in this manner."
"I do not stand in tho way of marriage of worthy widows, widowers,
bacholors, or maidens," responded Mr. Klnkald.
"I suggest an amendment Including our Nebraska friend," observed Rep
resentative Madden of Illinois.
"I would bo included," said Mr. Kinkald, smilingly.
"Wo should llko to help tho gentloman get married," Bald Mr. Mann.
"I will accept all help gratefully," replied Mr. Klnkald.
Tho bill was passed.
About the Easiest Thing in the World to Say
It k SK Washington," Is tho phrase that makes tho corps of correspondents at
A tho national capital 111. It Is tho easiest thing In tho world to say, and
sometimes entails endless labor.1 It means that somewhere in this country a
paper is going to press, and some one
that a Washington newspaper man can
answer any question in tho world. Somebody in this town will remember the
color of thoso eyes, and tho paper will have it.
That is not nn extreme example, either. Didn't ono Washington bureau get
a quory not long ago. In tho "wee sma" hours of the morning, usking tho num
ber of steel missiles aboard one of the battleships. How would you like to got
that problem put up to you at I a. m. wlththo understanding thut the answer
had to bo fired back instanter?
Another query, from a Canudian paper, asked for tho number of employes
outof work In nearly overy big city in tho Union, tho cost of clothes and food
In all thoae cities and tho probable effect on general business. Another
query asked a correspondent hero, "Who Is Coup d'etat and whoro is ho from?"
Tho correspondent had been using French In his political stuff. Ono of the
most famous queries came from n yellow sheet In a big city. It read:
"Something :u tho uir. Send 500 words."
Tho paper had a hunch that something was doing, nnd wanted to stir uj
the bureau.
Senator Martine "Glad to Meet" the Ambassador
SOCIAL affairs In congressional circles under tho present Democratic regime

Illustrate their point.
At n reception given by tho senator
not long ago, so tho story goes, mem

dressed civilians. Sonator Martina
was circling the room, greeting his
guests In his bluff, hearty way, when
his glanco happened to rest on tho
Spanish ambassador, gaily caparisoned in uniform of his rank
"Who in thunder are you? Where in thunder do you como from'" said
Senator Mnrtlno in his characteristically explosive mauner
Somowhnt abashed by tho senator's frank question nnd boldness of expres
sion, the ambassador mnnaged to stammer out:
"I am "Sonor Don Junn Rlano y Gayangos, chamborlain to his majesty tho
king of Spain, and envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from that
country."
Senator Martino's nerve never has been known to fail him In nn emer
gency nnd it stood him in good stead in this instance.
"Well, by gad, sir," he ropllod, extending his hand cordially, "I'm glad to
meet you."
