Beware of Ointments For Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely dostroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used i
except on prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Core, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally, acting

man Empire the Macedonian loaders issued
the long anticipated proclamation
of a general insurrection in Macedonia.
The signatures of all the members of
the insurgent general staff are attached
to the document'.
The new outbreak is headed by the
famous Macedonian leaders, General
Zontcheff, President of the Macedonian
Committee, and Colonel JankofT. who
was wounded in the rising of 1902.
The new territory covers the district
in the vnlley of the Struma, at the'base
Df the Rhodope Mountain chain, and to
the north of the River Vardar. Colonel
Jankoff is directing the movement of
the insurgents in the southern pari.
News of severe fighting is still coming
in. At the village of Arraensi, after
a day's fighting, the Turkish troops
in the night time massacred the entire
population of 180 men and 200 women.
The Turks Uave also massacred me maabitants
of the village of Velesi.
It is reported that Hilmi Pasha, the
Inspector General for Macedonia, fears
to leave his headquarters in the Konak
at Monastir. The Insurgent leader,
Grueff. in a letter to Hilmi Pasha, demanded
that he prevent the barbarous
acts of the Turkish soldiers and BasliiBazouks,
otherwise the revolutionaries
would massacre all the Turkish inhabitants.
The insurgents have occupied
the mountain pass of Gergele, on the
main line from Salonica to Uskub, and
Turkish troops have been sent to dislodge
them.
The town of Malkoternovo is reported
to be in a state of anarchy, the
Turks plundering the houses and committing
unspeakable atrocities on the
women.
A strong force of Turkish infantry,
cavalry and artillery recently attacked
the village of Stoilovo, northward of
Malkoternovo, which had been occupied
by Insurgents. The latter retired,
after which the Turks entered the
place, massacred the entire population
and destroyed the village.
According to the latest Turkish official
estimate about 1500 Bulgarians
were killed in the recent fighting at
Smilero, Xeveska and Klissura. The
Turkish losses are not stated. This estimate
does not include further losses
In the Smilero district. It is reported
that 050 Bulgarians were killed in this
two days' battle.

Constantinople.?The Forte has sent
a memorandum to the Austrian and
Russian Ambassadors here pointing
out that at the recent mass meeting of
Macedonians in Sofia, Bulcaria, it was
decided to send fresh bands into Macedonia.
and also calling attention to the
fact that committees in Bulgaria were
supplying the insurgents with arms
and ammunition by means of ships
which land tlieir earcroos on the coast
in tlie vicinity of Iniada.
The Government lias imposed a personal,
or land tax. on the entire population
of the empire over the age of
eighteen. The tax is on different
classes and ranges from about eichty
cents to $800 each annually. This is
regarded in some quarters as being in
the nature of a provision for war.
In spite of the apparent gravity ot
the general situation optimism prevails
in Turkish official circles.

Ihe Secretary of tlie Treasury Wants On?
That Will Retire When Not Actuallj
Needed?In a Speech on "The Buslnesi
Outlook" Says Mo Would Give the National
Banks More Scope.
UUicago.?At the Auditorium, oeiore
several hundred business men of Chicago
and other cities. Secretary of
Treasury Shaw spoke on "The Busi
uess Outlook." The meeting was under
the auspices of the National Association
of Merchants and Travelers.
Secretary Shaw 3poke in part as follows:
"As nearly as can be estimated, the
innual productive capacity of the
imerican people is $11,000,000,000.
I'his does not include duplications,
rbis does not include raw cotton and
Manufactured cotton: but raw cotton
*nd the value added thereto in the
>rocess of manufacture.
"Of this we export $1,300,000,000.
ind import $1,000,OUU.OOO of other merchandise,
mainly non-competitive with
>ur own products. Wo therefore consume
the equivalent of ninety-five per
:ent. of all we produce. Not while
:hese conditions continue will prosperty
cease.
"We are the most prosperous people
n the world, because we both produce
xnd consume more than others. The
little that we sell abroad, about ten
per cent of our net production, and the
ittle we purchase abroad, six or seven
ier cent, of our net consumption, constitute
no challenge to the statement
that our prosperity rests with ourselves.
"Unless our factories and workshops
voluntarily close, or labor voluntarily
refuses employment, or commerce voljntarily
ceases its activity, tliere is no
>ccasion for alarm.
"It is true that a very respectable
number of very good people, and in
that number I desire to be classed, believe
our financial system, good as it
is. might be improved by adding an
jlement of elasticity. I do not think
there exists any great number who believe
we should have any inflation.
"Eight years ago we had $21 per capita.
Now wo have certainly more than
529, and probably nearly $30 per capita.
Conservative business men and
conservative bankers do not generally
consider this an insufficient normal
minimum volume of currency. I repeat,
the only criticism now offered reates
to the want of elasticity.
"There is now no statutory prohibi;ion
against the well-nigh inherent
"ight of banks to issue circulating
lotes. This right exists throughout the
United States, nut suuject to a tax 01
:en per cent, per annum. This tax is
prohibitory.
"If I were given authority to formulate
a measure that would provide the
requisite elasticity to our present currency
system I think I should add an
amendment permitting national banks,
;vith the consent of ths Controller of
:he Currency, to issue a volume of cirnilating
notes equal to fifty per cent.
>f their bond secured circulation, at a
lax of five per cent., the same to be retired
at will or by the direction of the
Controller, by the deposit of an equnl
imount of lawful money with any Subrreasury.
"Three things I know. First, this
ldditional circulation would spring into
existence almost instantly whenever
ind wherever interest rates advanced
to the point of profit. Second, it would
is promptly retire whenever interest
rates became normal. Third, it would
be absolutely safe?as good as the present
national bank issue and with a
3light and immaterial change identical
in form and appearance?for the Government.
amply protected by the five
per cent. tax. would underwrite it.
But you say this is emergency cur
reucy. Anytuing more is mnauuu.

Baltimore Society Mad Who Managed Ills
Father's Estate Also Missing.
Baltimore, Md.?William T. Tucker,
or Willy Tucker, as he is kuown familiarly
in society, is missing. It has
also been discovered that $300,000 of
his father's estate has disappeared.
Tucker, it is said, is now in Central
America.
With his mother, W. T. Tucker was
trustee of the estate of his father, the
late Wesley A. Tucker. His mother
was abroad with one of her daughters
when other members of the family
made discoveries which resulted in a
hasty cable message to Mrs. Tucker to
return. The arrival of Mrs. Tucker in
Baltimore was followed by an investigation
of the contents of the safe deposit
box in wl^ch the securities of W.
A. Tucker's estate and also securities
belonging to Mrs. Tucker were kept.
Then, the revelatiou canfe that there
was a defalcation amounting to $500.000,
and that, of all the property given
over to the care of William T. Tucker
there was only .$03,000 left. It appears
that Mrs. Tucker had absolute faith in
her son and refused to credit stories
that reflected upon his conduct.
W. T. Tucker is said to have been
speculating heavily in stocks and was
a high roller generally. The abscoudei
is about thirty-five years old.

Loaded Revolver.

He Wanted to Marry Miss Alice Roose
volt?Adjudged Insane and Sent

I
Oyster Bay, L. I.?Henry Weilbren
nor was arrested at Sagamore Hill Iatt
at night while making a persistent de
mand to see President Roosevelt. The
man was armed with a revolver, fullj
lnnripil. Ho was taken to the villacf
and placed in the town prison.
Shortly after 10 o'clock p. m. Weil
brenner drove to Sagamore Hill in a
buggy. He was stopped by the Secret
Service operative on duty. Weilbren
ner said he had a personal engagement
with the President and desired to se(
him. As it was long after the hours
when visitors are received, the officer
declined to permit him to go to the
house. The man insisted, but the of
fleer turned him away.
In a short time Weilbrenner returned
and again insisted that he be allowed
to see the President, if only for a
minute. This time he was ordered
away and warned not to return.
Just before 11 o'clock the man returned
a third time and demanded of
the officer that he should be permitted
to see the President at once. The officer's
response was to take the man
from his buggy and put him in the
stables, where he was placed under the
guard of two stablemen. -A revolver
was found in the buggy.
Later Weilbrenner was brought to
the village and locked up. He is five
feet eight inches in height, twentyeight
years old, has a medium-sized
dark mustache, black eyes, and evidently
is of German descent. He resides
in Syosset, about five miles inland
from Oyster Bay. He was well
dressed in a suit of dark material and
wore an old-fashioned derby hat. He
is the son of a truck farmer and is one
of three brothers. He has two sisters.
The family is respectable and is held
in general esteem.
Weilbrenner several year3 ago had a
nervous attack which rendered him
mentally helpless for a day or two, but
his family supposed that he had been
juite restored by the medical treatment
be received at that time. SLuce then
he had manifested no symptoms of
mental aberration. He had no socialistic
or anarchistic tendencies so far as
known, never having been interested
in any questions of that kind. He was
employed daily on his father's farm.
Wellbrenner was arraigned before
Justice Franklin on complaint of the
Secret Service operatives who piaceu
him under arrest. Weilbrenner's
brother, William, was present at the
examination. Justice Franklin questioned
the prisoner about his movements
during the night. His replies
were made in a quiet tone of voice, but
they indicated, apparently beyond
doubi, that the man is crazy. Asked
why he went to Sagamore Hill he replied:
'*1 wont to see the President about
his daughter Alice."
"Had you an engagement with the
President?"
"Yes."
"How was that engagement made?"
"I talked with the President last
night," replied Weilbrenner.
"How did you talk with him?"
"Oh. I just talked."
"A sort of wireless talk, was it?"
"Yes, that is it: a wireless talk."
"Why did you want to see the President
about Miss Alice?"
"I wanted to marry her."
"Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt?"
"Yes, I saw her night before last."
"Where did you see her?"
"At my house."
"Did she go over there?"
"Yes, she came in a red automobile."
"Who accompanied her?"
"Her brother, Theodore."
Justice Franklin, after the examination.
concluded that he would hold
Weilbrenner until an inquiry of lunacy
could be held upon his case. The
examination then was postponed until
the afternoon. When it was reopened
at 3.30 o clock Dr. George A. Stewart
and Dr. Irving S. Barnes conducted the
examination of the prisoner. Weilbrenner
was declared by them to be Insane.
He will be placed immediately in the
custody of Sheriff Johnson, of Nassau
County. His committal to a sanitarium
will have to be made by the
County Court.
Weilbrenner was taken to Mineola,
L. I., and placed in the custody of the
eounty authorities.

Getting Even.
She was a sharp-eyed, independent ^^
little woman, and if the conductor had J
been a reader of character he would
have known better than to try . to 3g
match his wits against hers.
She had ridden two blocks be??e the
conductor got around to ask for her
fare.
"This Is as far as I want to go," she
said, "I'll get off here." < '
"But you can't get off without paying
your fare," said the conductor,
stupidly.
"I can't, eh," she answered. "Wei*
let me see you collect it" .
She made for the door, but the con- jA
ductor barred her way and refused.to
pull the bell rope. ^
"You stop this car, or you'll be sorry
for it," she >eiclaimed, angrily.
"You must pay your fare before yon
get off," the conductor kept Repeating. ,fj
That "was all he could think of to h
say.
"Very well," said the woman, plumping
herself down in a seat again. "I '
guess I can ride free as far as you can
afford to carry me."
After a couple of blocks more the
conductor pulled the rope and said,
somewhat sheepishly:
"You might as well get off here, then, '-.i{
if you won't pay your fare." y;
The woman stepped haughtily to, the
street, and then, turning with a smile,
said sweetly:
"This is really the corner that I
wanted. I knew you'd carry me a *
block or two after I told you I wouldn't pay.
so I began the quarrel early." > /'
And as the conductor gave the rope "
two especially vicious jerks, she called
after him: -J

A correspondent of the Detroit Free ,'M].
Press relates an incident of life In the
American metropolis that would have
annaulul with IppoaUHhlp fnrpp fft the f
heart of Charles Dickens. A gentleman,
very well known in the thpatrfcal r{ v>r
world, noticed a ragged and wistful* ryi
boy standing in the sweltering heat
at the foot of Twenty-second street dE
looking with longing eyes at the Coney
Island steamboat, which was soon to
start on one of her trips. On the lib- $
pulse of the moment the gentleman ^
bought a ticket and handed It and a vjl
quarter to the despondent mite. "It "ft
must have been gratifying to the don6r ' ji
to see that boy's face," writes the cOr- 1
respondent. "He seemed to be fairly
on the point of explosion with happl- /\
ness. He mounted the capstan, and? ' i
oblivious to everything and everybody, '
he broke forth into the chorus of '*
'When You Have Time and Money.'
The effect upon the observers was In- sj^j
describable; but the youngster, wnoi
Iy indifferent to, or unconscious of, , 1
the sensation of which he was the cen- ' ' *
tre, went on singing of the delights of life
when you bave time and money,'
one arm clinging to the capstan and A
one soiled hand clasped over the JS
pocket where lay his unexpected fo^^^
tune of twenty-five cents."

Language, in the hands of a master, is
