As a reward he was never sick si in his life, never had a corn on his toes, or toothache, his potatoes never rot, the _ frost never kills his pears, his babies never cry at night, h>s wife never scolds, und he has succeeded in serving three terms y on the school board without being crlti- ^ cized."

CUES IJV THE A "Recital of Terrible "Brutalities In a "Region tOhere Anarchy Trenails. W. A. Moore, secretary of the Balkan committee, has just made a report on the conditions which he discovered during a journey which he recently undertook in the Balkans with Leland Buxton and C. M. Lloyd. In this report Mr. Moore says: "It would be difficult to exaggerate the misgovernment and anarchy in the Kossovo vilayet, the sphere allotted to the Austrlans. The details of the Konopnitsa massacre, the results of which we saw, have already been reported in thp npwannnm The dav before we saw the bodies of the women and Infants massacred by the troops the Turkish authorities at Palanka had assured us that everything was tranquil in their district, and every possible precaution was taken to prevent us from getting any information about Konopnitsa and finally to prevent us from visiting the church where the bodies lay. I subsequently had conversations with the Kaimakems1 of Palanka and Kumanova, the vali of Uskub and Hilmi Pasha as to the affair. They all excused the soldiers, but the reasons they gave did not agree. One Turkish officer said the people were killed with spent bullets. In Kumanova the day we arrived a Turk killed a three-day-old child, and every day produced a murder. Some months ago the members of a Servian band who had surrendered and had been deprived of their weapons were massacred in Kumanova town in front of the Austrian officer's house. In the town of Uskub assassinations on the streets are not' uncommon, and we heard of many cases of murders and robberies committed by soldiers and others in the neighborhood. "In the Salonika district It is beyond a donbt that the Turks are assisting and encouraging the formation of the Greek bands to promote a feud between the Greeks and Bulgarians. Two horrible massacres of Bulgarians by Greeks took place not long ago, and In each instance these were made possible by the support of the Turks. Turks are found in the Greek bands, and some of the Greeks wear Turkish uniforms. The massacre of nine peasants at Moglla by Turkish troops took place two days before our arrival. The Italian officers who visited the spot assured me that the peasants could not in any sense be called Komltajis. M. Demerik, the Russian civil agent, who had not visited the spot in person, was of the opinion that they might be call A TUlt SXLXiZD THXXX-DAT-OLD CHILD. d Komltajla. The district round Mon&stlr is very bad, tad In the town itself assassinations of Btxlftrlans are froquent But soms parts of the vilayet sosm to bo In a bettor condition. At both Bosnia and Okhrlda there Is more order, and at both of these places we found die Italian officers respected by the population and Tory anxious to keep themselves informed as to all of their relevances. At Besnla the It&l Ian officer bad, to some extent at any rats, succeeded in stopping the bastinadoing of peasants by the troops when making requisitions for arms by: himself accompanying them. "The caza of Dlbra, north of the casa of Okhrida, which is outside the sphere of reforms. Is a 'No Man's Land' full' of brigands and criminals of all sorts. All those who have made things unpleasant for themselves In their own neighborhood take refuge In Dlbra. Albanian brigands from Dlbra make raids Into the surrounding villages and carry off peasants whom they force to work for them. "Some Improvement of discipline in the gendarmerie has been effected. -The officers complain, however, that the pupils who pass through the gendarmerie school and there receive better notions of their duty become rapidly corrupted when they are transferred to their, country posts from associations with the older gendarmes and because they receive no encouragement from their own omen." . , I Farmers i W are beginning to i I are xree ana inae By concerted act taught the worl Cotton is Woi So long as such wm is no reason why tlu his son and daughter such luxuries as oth joyed for years.
