Tom Young of New York called her

it la not a family name or la the word

the name la a joke of Mra. Young's

and ate from a manger. It wat

It can be readily seen how In combi

Sofia, Aug. 25. With the rumors of
massacres and tbe murder of prison
ers in Monaatir oow authenticated tbe
general situation is considered here
as fast becoming intolerable. Official
and diplomatic circles alike are con
cerned, having ever reawon to fear
tbat only a part of tbe horrors enacted
in tbe interior of Macedonia bave
come to ligbt.
Tbe reolutionary committees are
doing tbeir utmost to force tbe bands
of tbe Bulgar an government and tbe
immedia e outlook . is exceedingly
serious.
It appears tbat tbe Turks bave ob
tained the upper hand in tbe lilayet
of Monastir ad tbe insurgents are
planning to remove tbe center of
tbeir activity close to tbe Bulgarian
frontiers. Dispatches arriving Uday
from the disturbed area are exceed
ingly gloomy. From Adrianople
conies the news of a Turkish defeat
and the extension of the revolutioi -ary
outbreak; from Mooa tir,the news
of Turksih victories accompanied by
barbarous excesses.
According to the Sofia Dnevnik the
Turks committed unspeakable atroci
ties at Krusnevo. The mutilated
co'pses of ninety women and children
were found in one building: pieces of
the oodles bad been thrown into the
street. Fifteen of the principal mer
chants of the town were killed and
t ieir heads exhibited on poles at Mon
atls. The churches were demolished,
the houses sacked and the town Is
now in a heap of ashes. The popu
lace fled to the hills where they are
In a starving condition.
The Dnevnik also a-serts that a
general massacre has trken place in
the whore vilayet of Monastir. Nearlj
all the villages have been destroyed.
The treacherous murder of eighty in
surgent, prisoners by their guards neai
Mouastls has made an especially bad
Impression here.
Many rumors are current of mass
acres in ihe city of Adrinople, bui
confirmation is lacking. The situ
ation there, however, is undoubtedly
jrious.
Many Supposed to be Dead.

which were occupied by a fancj

Impossible as yet to ascertain thr

The warehouse contained piles ol

were detected at 7 o'cock spread
with frightful rapidity and soon

New. York, Aug. 26. In a glorloui
whole sail breeze, over a triangular
course, tea miles to a leg, tbe fleet-
f joied cup defender, Reliance, again
today showed her heels to Sir Tbom
a; Lip.ou's challenger, taking tbe
second race of the cup series of 1905
by tbe narrow margin of one minuU
and ninereeo seconds.
It was as pretty and as bard a
fought contest as has ever been sailed
off Sandy Hook, and had the wind not
fallen during the last, ten mlautes
the record for the course,
three hours, twelve minutes
and fifieen seconds, made by the
Columbia two years ago in her mem
orable race agaiust Shamrock II,
would have been broken. As it was,
Rtllance sailed the thirty miles within
two minutes and thi rty-nine seconds ol
tbe record, which speaks wouders for
her speed in the wind that was blow,
in. Reliance's victory, narrow as it
was, would have been smaller bad nol
Captain Wringe, the skipper of the
British ship, bungled the start, send
Ing his crif t o er the line nloeteei
seconds after tho last gun and hand
Icapplng to that extent. At everj
pjint of silling the Defender's su
periorty was demonstrated. S hi
gained one minute and filty-one sec
ouds in windward work, forty secondi
on the run to the second mark, anc
fifty-rive secjndi on tne cIosj reach
for home.
When the yachts reached the start
ing line shortly after 10 a. m. thi
wind was southeast and blowing
about four knots not enough to sent
them over the conree within the timi
limit, but there were indications thai
there would be enough of it later.
The preparatory signal was filed a
10:45 and the starting gun at 11.
Navigator signalled that tbe rc
would be over a triangular course, tet
miles to a leg, the first leg south, tbi
second northeast by eist hilf
easi, the third northwest by west
half-east. Tbe wind at tbat time
was due south and bad begun U
freshen.
In tbe pre Iminary jockeying Cap
tain Brr of Reliance got tbe w od
ward position, blanketing Shamrock
and clung to it through various ma
neuvers until tbe warn ng gun had
been tired, when Captain YVrlnge bad
got clear of th- Reliance.
At the sound of the gun Shamrock
rxre off to leeward and away from
Reliance, while Captain Barr tacked
uusiartlng gun was tired and crossed
tbe line over tnirty-six seconds oeninc

Tbe nineteen seconds was dead loss.
Boy Found Dead.
Ca'laway, Neb., Aug. 27, (Special.,
C us Cbrlstalasen, a lad of twelve
or thirteen years of ae, residing
about ten miles west of this pace,
was found dead by hi- m ither Satur
day afternoon. The lad was herding
cattle on the cannons for a neighbor
and as he failed lu return home for
dinner as was his cus om, a searct
was soon Instituted by his rcoUieraoc
neighbor, which culminated la tht
above result.
It ap ears that the boy bad ber
hired by August Jaeger, a well-lo-d
farmer and stockmm, to herd his cat
tie for him, and in so doing he wat
assisted only by his favorite dog
While tbe cattle would graze the to)
and dog were In the habit of bunting
through the canyons and bills for coy
otes, badgers, rabbits, etc., and it U
supposed Wr-re doing this when he m ii
bis death. When found only bis feei
w?e protruding from a ho'e lnc
which he had crawled and the eartb
about which had caved In ou h m.
It Is though that the dog bad run
some animal Into the bole, when the
boy attempted to crawl In and bring
It out, and in so doing jarred tbt
earth above which caused It to cave
In upon him, either mashing him oi
smothering mm to death.
