father Berger of the Catholic Church at
Leopold, Ind., Make* a Proposition
to a Near York Lawyer — Open
to Any Woman With the
Cash — Not Particular
About her Looks.
New Yobk, Not. 11—Lawyer Albert
». Warner of this city received 3’ester
day the subjoined letter written in
I rench, on the official note paper of
the Roman Catholic church of Leo
polc. Perry county, Ind:
“Sir: Hearings that you have charge
of affairs of all kinds, I would like
you to undertake to bring about a
marriage in regard to which I beg to
make the following proposition: A
young French prince, a friend of mine,
desires to contract .a marriage in
America with a young person who has
at least 82,000,000. Can you secure
such an individual for him? If you
can you will be paid after the mar
riage the sum of 810,000 as commission
which will be guaranteed. If you
carry the matter through on or be
fore December 1, you will receive an
extra compensation of $5,000. The
need is urgent.
‘ The young prince belongs to the
most illustrious family of the French
nobility. His title dates back [to the
time of the Crusades. He is 29 years
of age and a Catholic, a very extreme
Catholic. He desires that the young
person should also be a Catholic, but
the religious question will not neces
sarily be an obstacle to an otherwise
satisfactory marriage.
“if you will undertake the affair of
the heart please let me hear from you
at once. If, however, you cannot,
will j’ou kindly give me the address
• of _ some company which undertakes
this class of business? Receive, I beg
of you, my respectful salutations.
J. Berger, Pastor.”
Mr. Warner replied that he would
attend to the matter forthwith. He
now proposes to send application
blanks to all marriageable girls who
are possessed of the required number
of dollars. It is his opinion that the
prince will not be particular about the
age or physical attributes of eligible
candidates.

| -
URGED.
General Miles' First Anannl Krpurt De
rated to the Meed of FortiflruHona.
Washington-, Nov. a.—In his first
annual report to the Secretary of War
General Miles in his capacity of “ma
jor general .commanding army,” de
votes considerable space to the nec

tect the sea coast. He says it has

the coasts it would cost in the neigh
borhood of $l2i>,O0o,lXK). To put the
Pacific coast in defense would require
in the neighborhood of modern
guns and mortars with their proper
carriages and munitions. It has also
been estimated that their cost would
be something like $31,000,000. lie has
recommended in the past that 8330,000
be appropriated to perfect titles to
strategic points necessary to be occu
pied .for the defense of the Pacific
cost; that S) ,000,000 be appropriated for
the establishment of a plant to be con
structed under the direction of a board
of officers of *he army and navy to
be ordered by the president for the
construction of effective guns, and
war materials for both army and navy
on the Western coast,and that $25,000,
000, or such portions of it as could be
utilized in four years, be authorized
to be expended for the construction of
the most improved and effective guns
and war materials as will bo required

propriation of a large sum for the
erection for fortifications for the pro
tection of the Atlantic coast. Sugges
tions are also made with reference to
the Great Lakes.

THE TURKISH CRISIS.
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS GET
TING UNBEARABLE. "
The Ports Unable to Carry Out Ills Usual
Policy—The Situation Most Serious.
But All Europe Determined to Force
Reforms—An Apology for the Turks.
Matters In Turkey.
London, Nov. U.—The Times cor
respondent in Constantinople tele
graphed to-day: "The condition of
things here is regarded unbearable
by all "the diplomats and tlio Sultan,
whose sole idea of policy is to play
off one power against the other, is
nonplussed at their unanimity. All the
powers are friendly, and they give
him sound, but most distasteful coun
sel. None of their manifestations
have any selfish purpose, affording ma
terial for the manufacture of political
capital. Among tie advice tendered
him,much bears upon the insecurity of
the capital as evidenced by September’s
riots, whieb left the Mohammedans in
a state of unprecedented excitement.
But the remedy suggested is an in
creased number of spies, arrests or
secret executions, and therefore the
advice of the powers does not meet
with response. Much also has been
said about the bloodshed in the prov
inces and the enormous detriment to
trade in the greater part of Asia Minor
and Syria. But the only answer is the
annihilation of the reform scheme by
the appointment of two palace crea
tures to tho board of control, of which
one of them is president. No where,
however, are fears entertained of any
wholesale, fanatical outbreak against
the Christians. The danger lies quite
in another direction.”
.A cipher letter received from Erzin
gian, headquarters of the notorious
Zekki Pasha, commander of the troops
at the time of the Sassoun massacre,
states that 2,000 Armenians were
killed during the late disturbances.
In view of the many startling re
ports from Constantinople recently, it
is possibly just to believe that some of
them have been colored by exaggera
tions upon the part of Armenians. But
the main fact does not appear to be in
any way altered by this coloring and
it is that Armenia appears to be in a
condition of the most dreadful an
archy.
SUCCESS OF TAMMANY.
Richard Crocker Is Greatly Elated Over
the Same.
New York, Nor. 9.—Richard Croker
is greatly elated over the success of
Tammany Hall. He said: “Tammany
Hall is the one bright spot in all the
waste of Democratic defeat and dis
aster. Although out of politics, I
hare not forgotten my experiences
of the past, and can get beneath the
surface and discern the forces which
are at work on the popular mind.
When, therefore, I predicted a Turn
many triumph in New York of 30,090
to 50,000 I was not so tar out of the
way. The people were not to be de
ceived this year again, and they have
had enough of so-called reform, and
have rebuked the reformers at the
polls.
•‘I see that some people call this a
verdict for Richard Croker. It would
be very pleasant to consider it in that /
light. Hut I think the victory rather
to be attributable to Tammany's su
perb organization. If the Demoeratic
party was as well organized as Tam
many Hall we would not bo reading
to-day of Republican victories all over
the land.”
“Look at the states that have given
such immense Republican majorities.
Why, Tammany is the only stronghold
that the Democracy has left. It marks
the point around which the Democratic
party can rally with heart for thp
battles yet to cor e.”
KANSAS RETURNS.
Neither Party Seems to Have Slado Any
Material Gains.
I Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—Unofficial
returns from seventy-five of the 105
counties in the State indicate that
neither party made material gains of
county offices in the election Tuesday.
Whether there was any change in the
relative strength of the two parties
will be for the official canvass, which
is in' progress to-day, to tell.
In the seventy-five counties beard
from, unofficially, the Republicans
have slightly the best of it, their gains
being thirty-five offices against thirty
gained by the Populists. The cause
of the greatest regret to the Populists
is the loss of Cherokee and Crawford
counties. These counties have been
regarded as Populist strongholds and
their return to the Republican column
is discouraging to the leaders. But
the Republicans are equally gloomy
over the results in Sedgwick, Lyon and
Neosho, and over losses of votes in
Central Kansas._
TURKEY ENTERS DENIAL.
Report! of Dlnaffeetlon in the Army and
Ma?y Untrue,
Washington, Nov. 9.—The Turkish
legation announces the following tele
gram from the sublime porte:
“All news concerning plots, threat
ening letters and a supposed dissatis
faction in the ranks of the army and
navy is intentionally propagated by
i well-known correspondents affiliated
with the Armenian committee, to
alarm public opinion. As for the
often-repeated assertion of the in
tended extermination of the Armen
ians it is too absurd to be contradicted.
The efforts of the imperial govern
ment tend, on the contrary, to quell
the revolt of the Armenians and to
resist their criminal ana bloody agita
tion.” _
No Aid for High Priced Churches.
Chicago, Nov. 9.—After a long dis
cussion it was decided by the Metho
dist church extension board that no
church where the building cost over
$10,000 should be aided. The cost of
the land on which the church iserectcd
is not to be considered.

MR. BAYARD SPEAKS.
Addreuea Scotchmen ami Denounces
Soflaltam autf Protection.
EnnrevRoii, Nov. 0.—United States
Ambassador Thomas F. Itayard de
livered the inaugural address last
evening to tlio Philosophic society. It
was entitled “Individual Liberty, the
Germ of National Progress and Per
manence. ”
Sir. Bayard spoke at length of the
wonderful growth and development of
the United States and earnestly evoked
the opposition of his hearers to “state
socialism” in all forms. He also
sounded a note of warning against the
many proposals of political interfer
ence and siate management under the
garb of philanthropic aid or pater
nalism.
After discussing what he termed the
‘tyranny of labor organizations,” Mr.
Bayard said: “In my own country I
have witnessed the insatiable growth
of that form of Stato socialism styled
protection, which, I believe, lias done
more to foster class legislation and
create inequality of fortune, corrupt
public life, banish men of independ
ent mind and character from public
councils, blunt public conscience and
place politics upon the low level of a
mercenary scramble than any other
single cause. Step by stop, and large
ly owing to the confusion of civil
strife, it has succeeded in obtaining
control of the sovereign power of tax
ation, creating the revenue into an
engine for seltish and private profit.
Its allied beneficiaries and combines
are called “trusts,” and gradually the
commercial marine of the United
States has disappeared, the few ves
sels lately built being an exception
and proving the rule, as they were
only built by making a breach in the
general tariff and navigation laws.
“It is incorrect,” said Mr. Bavard,
“to speak of protection as a -national
policy. 'J'hnt could never be, as it
will never be anything but the foster
ing of special interests at the expense
of the rest. It is fatal to the hopes of
advancement or even to the retention
of what has been gained by civiliza
tion.”
TO UNITE POSTOFFICES.
The Department Figuring on a Consoli
dation Scheme.
Washington, Nov. 0.—The President
to-day approved an amendment to the
civil service rules, which will result
in bringing many postmasters and em
ployes within the classified service.
The addition is as follows: “And
whenever, by order of the Postmaster
General, any postoifice shall bo con
solidated with and made a part of an
other postofficc where free delivery is
established, all the employes of the
office thus consolidated whose names
appear on 'the roll of said offices
approved by the Postoffice depart
ment and including the postmaster
thereof, shall from the date of
said order, be employes of the said
free delivery office and the peison
holding on the date of said order the
position of postmaster at the office
thus consolidated with said free de
livery office may be assigned to any
position therein and given any appro
priate designation under the classifi
cation act which the Posmaster Gen
eral may direct.”
It is the intention of the Postoffice
department to consolidate many
offices throughout the country. This
will not necessarily do awavv with the
offices, but will establish them as sta
tions of some central point. The de
partment intends to malcc experiments
in this direction and if they prove sat
isfactory the system will bo largely
extended. It is probable that presi
dential offices as well as fourth class
will be included in the consolidations.
M’KINLEY AND BRADLEY.
A Republican Boom for 1800 Launched
In Kentucky.
Lexington, ICy., Nov. 9.—The Lead
er, the leading Republican newspaper
in Kentucky, always a stalwart sup
porter of Governor McKinley for the
presidency, declares for McKinley for
president and Governor-elect Bradley
for vice president. The Leader says:
“The overwhelming victory in Ohio
under the brilliant leadership of Mc
Kinley, Fornker and Bushnell gives a
new impetus to the presidential candi
dacy of William McKinley, and the
election of William O. Bradley as the
first Republican governor Kentucky
has eyer had, makes him a vice presi
dential possibility. McKinley is the
embodinient of the protective tariff
principle, and Bradley’s election is a
triumph for sound money. McKinley
and Bradley stand for protection and
honest money, the issues upon which
next year's national campaign must
be won. McKiuley and Bradley, as
candidates for president and vice
president, would obliterate Mason and
Dixon's lino from the political map
and mark the complete reconciliation
of the North and South and thus
nationalize our politics.”
MR. MORTON INDISCREET.
*«o secretary or Agriculture Causes Com
ment by an Interview*
Chicago, Nov. i)—The Daily News
Washington special says: “There is
much comment among officeholders
to-day on, an interview with
Secretary Morton printed in several
morning papers. The interview was
prepared by the Secretary and given
to the press generally last night. The
surprising feature is that he assumes
to speak for the President and shows
lively satisfaction at Democratic de
feat in several states. Once before
the President has seen fit to publicly
disclaim any responsibility for the
utterances of Secretary Morton, and
office holders are predicting that he
may call the Secretary of Agriculture
to sharp account for the frequency of
his interviews.'’___
Jadgo Fcckham Probable,
Washington, Nov. 9.—In supreme
court circles it is said that recent de
velopments indicate that the president
seriously contemplates appointing
Judge Rufus Pcckham of the New
York court of appeals to the vacancy
on the supreme bench, occasioned by
the death of Associate Justice Jackson.
Chicago, Nov. 0.—All railroads hav
ing headquarters in Chicago have
given positive assurances to President
Hill of the Great Northern, that as
far as lies in their power they will co
operate with him in defeating the
A. R. U. strike now tbreateued upon
his road.
I A PRINTING OFFICE WRECKED.
! *
; Italian In tlia Detroit Journal Explode
J With Disastrous Effect!.
! Detroit, Midi., Nov. 7.—At about 9
! o’clock this morning' tho boilers in the
! Journal building, corner of Earned
j antl Shelby streets, exploded with ter
j rifle force. The portion of the build
| ing, about forty feet wide, immedi
| atelv collapsed, burying scores of
people in the ruins, four dead and
i several injured have already bceu
. taken out.
j Shortly after 0 o'clock the ruins
j broke out in flames, and tho great
j clouds of stifling smoke seriously im
j ceded the firemen in their work of
rescue.
| It is positively known that at the
time of the collapse the stereotvpers
engaged on tho fifth floor were: Mi
chael Ward, Arthur Lynch and James
Loss. All three of them went down
in the wreck. In tho third story was
the Habbin electrotype foundry, in
which there were some half dozen
men.
As near as can be learned there were
from twenty-five to thirty at work in
the building, exclusive of those who
may have been injured while passing
on the street. Three raon and one wo
man were carried into the News office
in a helpless condition, within three
minute., after the terrible explosion
| Cries of others couid be heard in the
i rums, hot as yet the confusion was too
I great to secure details,
i The portion of the building directly
above the boilers on the first floor was
occupied by the Journal’s mailing de
partment. About live men and boys
were there at work. In the second
story was George Hiller’s book bindery
: in which a couple of men and about a
score of girls were employed. All of
these people, men, boys and girls
I were precipitated into tho horrible
chaos of ruin and escaping steam.
The large building was out cleanly
in two from front to rear by a gap
forty feet wide, at the bottom of which
is an almost solid pile of timbers,brick
| and debris, into which the first hour
I or two work of search for bodies made
: but little progress.
| The John Davis Company, dealers in
j grocers’ sundries, occupied the ground
I floor and basement of one end of the
building. The firm's list of employes
is not large, but it is doubtful whether
all escaped.
The Journal’s mailing department
on the first floor was demolished and
the few employes who were there at
the time are not yet accounted for. At
least a dozen person s are believed to
have been at work in Hiller's book
bindery, on the second floor. Some of
thosb who escaped from the wreck re
port that they heard the screams of
some of the bindery girls as they fell
and were pinioned in the wreck.
The members of the Journal's edi
torial staff on the fonrth floor, how
ever, all escaped.
At 10:30 the dead body of a young
girl was taken out. Her name Isas
yet unknown. A body supposed to be
that of William Dunlap was dragged
out at about the same time. He ran a
small machine ahop in the building,
the business being repairing of type
setting machines.
inomas lnompson, the engineer,
came out of the wreck painfully in
jured. His clothes were all tom off
and blood was running from a score of
cuts. He said that he knew no reason
for the explosion and was too excited
to talk coherently.

An Adventure With Lightning*
Captain Frank Wallace of Small
Point, Me., had a thrilling experience
recently during a thunder shower. He
was out in a dory after ducks when the
storm came up and suddenly there
came a flash of lightning that seemed
to surround his boat with Its flame,
and then something like a ball of tiro
danced along the crest of the wave in
his direction. There was a dreadful
roll of thunder that seemed to break
over his head and then he knew no
more for some time. When be revived
he was at first unable to move, but at
last tipped over, his hands going into'
the water. He then discovered that ;
his oars were goneard his rifle lay in
the bottom of the boat completely shat
tered. He also found that he was bleed*
ing freely, but, recovering somewhat,
he paddled ashore with a piece of
board, reaching there after several
hours of hard work. Then it took the
doctor a long while to 6top the raising
of blood, but Captain Wallace has now
recovered so as to be around as usual*
A Motorman's Lift.
FULL OF HARDSHIPS. EXPOSURE AND
CONSTANT DANGER.
The Great Strata on a Man's Verves
SuMclent la Itself to Wreck Him la
a Short Time* The Experience
of a Well-KnoWn Hotormaa,
From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life of a motorman is not a bed Of
roses. He is subjected to many hardships
especially in the winter when he la exposed
to the cold and snow. Even in the summer
he must boar the intense heat which heats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
self-possession is necessary in a good motor*
man, for the lives and limbs of his pa-sen
gers are at stake. One of the best known
electric motormen in this city is William
Frazer, who is nt present running a car on
tne Cumminsvllle electric line. He is not
only well known to his fellow employes but
to the people who travel on his car. Mr*
Frazer is a young man about twenty-six
years of age and resides with his wife and
child at 144 Betts Street, Cincinnati, Q.
About a year ago Mr. Frazer was taken
with serious stomach troubles. He bought
several kinds of medicine which were rec
ommended to him, but none of them seemed
to give him even temporary benefit An
entuiuiasticadmirerof that famous remedy
known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People told him to try them. Frazer was
almost discouraged, but took the advice.
To a reporter for the Enquirer he said:
“I can most heartily recommend Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills. They are all that it
claimed for them, in fact they advertise
themselves better than any modicine I ever
saw. I was seized some time ago with a bad
attack of Indigestion. My stomach hurt me
nearly all the time and I could not digest
my food. The pain was almost unbearable
and I found nothing that would give me
relief. I confess that when I bought the
first box of Pink Pills I hadn’t much confi
dence in their efficacy because 1 had tried so
many things without success that I was al
most discouraged Before X had taken one
box 1 was decidedly better. Two boxes
cured me entirely. While I have been under
the weather from other causes my indiges
tion has never returned. If it ever should
1 know just what to do. I have so much
confidence in the efficacy of Pink Pills that
if I ever get real sick again with any disor
der I shau use some of them. It is a pleas
ure for me, I assure you, to testify to the
excellent quolitiesof these Pink Pills. They
not only tone the stomach but regulate the
bowels and act ast as a mild cathartic.”
Mr. Frazer’s testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal experi
ence and any one who doubts that he re
ceived the benefits stated can easily verify
the assertion by calling on Mr. Frazer or
seeing bim some time while he is on his csr.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood ana restore shattered
nerves. They are sold in boxes at SO
cents a box, or six boxes for S2.S0, and may
be hod of all druggists or directly by mail
