New York Mun <;ir«IIes the flnrth In I''Jft>--f«ur Uuvn. Henry Frederick, a publisher who left New York on July 2 on the steam er Deutschland for a tour around the world, with the hope of breaking the record for the shortest time consumed In encircling llu* globe, returned to New York on the New York Central .railroad, says the New York Times. Mr. Frederick had been successful in ibis endeavor, having made the entire -circuit in fifty-four days, seven hours and twenty minutes. “My object In making the trip,’’ he said, “was to see what was the quick est time a man could go around the -world in comfortably. The train ride from Paris to Dalny, China, consumed eighteen days—two days across the Yellow sea, two days by rail across beautiful Japan. At Yokohama I missed my steamer by ten hours and’ lost seven days, as I was compelled to take a slow boat two days later, which spent sixteen days on the Pacific. 1 landed at Victoria and made the Amer ican continent in a little over four days. This with the Deutschland’s fast time of six days across the At lantic made my record of fifty-four days. During that time I slept in but one hotel, and that in Yokohama. Ev ery other night was spent either on a train or steamer, and I presume It will ,’be many days before I will miss In my ■ears the click-click of the rails or cease to feel the motion of the boat.” As Fattening; Up In Jail.

How He Turned un Interruption Into un VrxuiueiLt In Ilia 1’nvor. In Lsri-t Joseph Chamberlain, who recently resigned as England’s secre tary of the colonies, went to Birming ham. lie took with him a letter to the parents of the late Sir Thomas Mar- tineau, which read. "Please be kind and sec its much as you can of ‘poor Joe.’ for lu* knows nobody in Birming ham.” It was not long before be re versed the tables, and everybody knew “poor Joe.” “Always get the best of a bargain:” That seems to have been the lifelong motto of the Bight Hon. Joseph Cham- gerlain. An incident of his school days shows the principle upon which he has always done business, says the Cincin nati Enquirer. Two of his school companions, it is related, got into a dispute over some points at cricket. The cricket outfit belonged to one of the boys. The point was referred to young Chamberlain as arbitrator. There was a great deal of ill feeling on both sides. Chamberlain took the cricket outfit and said he would deckle the matter in a few days, in the meantime the two combatants came to blows and “fought out” their difficulties, after which they shook hands and “made up.” Both then ask ed Chamberlain to restore the cricket outfit, as they had become friends. Chamberlain was much larger than either of the others, and this was the decision ho rendered: “As you have de cided the matter yourselves, after j Hit ting me to a lot of trouble, I shall keep the cricket outfit for my pains.” He was fifteen years old at this time. At a certain entertainment a prom inent army man who is on very inti mate terms with King Edward VII. greatly amused Ins majesty by relating an experience of Mr. Joseph Chamber- lain, who seems to be a poor hand at remembering faces, says the New York Times. It was at a dinner one evening that Mr. Chamberlain turned to a friend and asked, “Who is that rather distinguished looking gentleman oppo site?” “Why, that gentleman,” returned his friend, “is the person you have recently made bishop of London.” The king laughed heartily at this and said: “Well, I can heat that, for the other day 1 was going over a number of photographs with Chamberlain, and. coming across a recent one of myself, he remarked with a sigh: ‘Poor Buller!

Before giving his consent, says the Washington i’ost, he conclud ed to meet the lady in person and in vestigate herself and family. A night or two after his arrival in the United States there was a ball at the British embassy. Mr. Endicott, .then Mr. Cleveland's secretary of war, and bis daughter were among the guests. Mr. Chamber- lain particularly noticed a stately and beautiful girl whose unaffected dignity greatly pleased him. He asked to be presented. To his surprise and gratifi cation he was Introduced to Miss Eudi- eott. 1 luring the entire evening be paid her assiduous attention. The next day he called at her father’s residence.

THE BALKAN TROUBLES An Official's Views of the Up rising In Macedonia. HE BLAMES BULGARIA FOR NEW STEAM ROAD RAIL. Invention to Prevent Accidents At tributed to “Spreading Rails.” J. C. Allendorph of Kansas City, Mo., has devised a steel rail which may re place the standard rail now in use by the railroads of the United States. The new invention has been shown to 3iM) railroad operating officials, and all have pronounced it a much better and more practical rail than the standard rail now in use, says the Kansas City Star. The present rail is fire and one-half Inches high and has a five and one-half inch base. It is solid. Mr. Allendorph’s rail is four inches'high and has a six PreHcnt Movement In Suid to Be tlie Outcome of u Well Coneocted Bul- giiriun 1'lnu to Annex Macedonia. Tliut t’ountry'N Side of the tlueNtion. Aii official of one of the countries directly interested in the Balkan trou bles was asked the other day at Wash ington regarding the situation aud the causes of the disorders in Macedonia. For political and diplomatic reasons this official consented to talk only on the condition that his name should not be connected with the interview, says the New York Tribune. He said: The Macedonian question is very im perfectly understood in this country. Most persons believe that the fight now going on in Macedonia is only one of the periodical risings of the Christian inhabitants of a province of the Otto man empire against Turkish misrule, seeking reform or autonomy or com plete independence. it is nothing of the kind. The pres ent movement is the culmination of a well concocted plan of the Bulgarians, started many years buck, to absorb Macedonia aud to annex that country to Bulgaria, and the so called Mace donian committee, composed exclusive ly of Bulgarians and Bulgaro-Macfe- donians, is the chief exponent of that political movement. There is not a single Macedonian Greek In that com mittee, although they form the major ity of the population of Macedonia. To understand thoroughly this ques tion we must take into consideration the different nationalities of Macedonia and the political aspirations of the powers interested in that country. Macedonia is today the last powerful support of the Turkish domination in Europe, and the sultan will not relin quish it without vigorous resistance. To Austria-Hungary Macedonia is the nearest object of her views in her oriental policy, which tends always to ward the /Egean sea. Russia consid ers herself bound to defend her Slavo- inch base.

When Joseph Chamberlain was a Liberal a good many years ago he made a speech at Gloucester, England, in which the former colonial secretary quoted a nursery rhyme with great effect, says the Pittsburg Post. Mr. Chamberlain was criticising Lord Bcaeonsfield and Lord Salisbury on their return from Berlin and negotia tions with Bismarck. One of them had used the word “if” a good many times in the course of a speech explaining their action. “It reminds me,” said Mr. Chamberlain, “of a rhyme 1 learned from my nurse: “If all the seas were bread and cheese. If ntl the rivers were ink. If alt the lakes were currant cakes. What should we have to drink? The effect of this apposite nonsense on the audience was tremendous, and the quotation is ranked as one of the great oratorical hits of the Birming ham statesman’s life. Is the device for connecting the rails. Instead of the fish plates now in use the rail is joined by means of a plate two feet long, six inches wide and car rying an upright the length of the plate which fits into the hollow of the two rails to be connected. A complete and satisfactory connection is readily made. The particular advantage of the in- j vent ion is that it will prevent the many ' accidents which are attributed to “spreading rails.” As a matter of fact, the phrase “spreading rails” is a mis nomer. The train in striking the rail rounding a curve forces the rails over and upside down, causing a wreck. With the height of the rail reduced from five and one-half to four inches ami resting on a broader base than the present standard rail the chance for an accident from “spreading rails” is I greatly minimized if not entirely elim- j Inated. The present standard rail carries , ninety pounds to the yard. Mr. Allen- ! dorph's rail carries but seventy-seven | pounds to the yard. With steel at the present quotations, .$2S a ton, there is i a difference in cost in favor of the Al- | lendorph rail of $571.70 a mile. Mr. Allendorph is confident of securing the Mount Athos. Uoumania, having dis- j covered in the tribe of the Koutgo- Valaks a brother race, considers that she has a word to say in all political, ecclesiastical and national affairs of Macedonia. Servia and Montenegro have put forward certain pretensions in the northern districts, which pos sess some sprinkling of Servo-Slavs. Bulgaria, to which the treaty of San Stefano had allotted the largest part of Macedonia, hopes to obtain, by the annexation of that province, supremacy In the Balkan peninsula. The Albani ans. by their resolutions passed in their national assembly held at Ipek in ! IS!)!), showed themselves the defenders | of the integrity of Macedonia, and finally Greece, notwithstanding the un- | fortunate war of 1897, cannot forget 1 that for 2,000 years Macedonia lias re 1 mained an autonomous Greek state or j an important fraction of the different , Hellenic empires, and also, even under j the Ottoman government, Hellenism i was the first element of civilization of | that state. Thus, besides Turkey, which now ex- \ ercises an effective sovereignty on Mac edonia. there are eight pretenders who | believe That they have rights either on I 1848 they looked toward France for 1 iheir liberty. Then they turned toward England and obtained a few advan tages from Disraeli. After the Cri mean war they became the fervent worshipers of Napoleon III., and when it was pointed out to them that they would obtain their end quicker by em bracing the Roman Catholic faith many of them did not hesitate to aban don the religion of their fathers. It was at that time (1850-G0) that several establishments of the Lazarus were founded in Bulgaria. But this did not please orthodox Rus sia. and she tried to win them hack by promising to them a purely Bui- | garian Orthodox church, detached from the jurisdiction of the Greek patriarch of Constantinople, and this was the be ginning of the Bulgarian exarchate. But to accomplish tins end it was nec essary that their Roman Catholic bish op should voluntarily resign. This lie did. under threats of assassination, and he retired to Ids convent, where he | ended Ids days. This was in 1801, and then began the real fight of the Bulgarians to detach themselves from the jurisdiction of the , Greek patriarch and to establish an ! autocephalous Bulgarian church within the Ottoman empire. The Greek patri arch tried to dissuade them from such a movement l»y making to them sev eral important concessions, but the Bulgarian demands were so excessive, by insisting that the Bulgarian bishops should have absolute jurisdiction in Bulgaria, Roumelia and the largest part of Macedonia, that nothing was left to the Greek patriarch hut to give a fiat refusal, and he finally excom munieated the rebellious bishops. The Bulgarian agitators then chose Macedonia as the principal field for their operations, and all their attention was turned against the Greek schools in Macedonia and the Greek clergy, whom they represented to the 'l urks as disloyal and plotting against the sultan. Helped by Russia and with the assist ance of I’rince Charles of Roumnnia, they eventually succeeded in establish ing the Bulgarian exarchate at Con stantinople by the issue of a finnan by the sultan on March 10. 1870. creating that body, which is the last schism which the Greek church has suffered. The consecration of the Bulgarian ex arch took place May 24. 1872. and from that day are dated the acrimonious quarrels between the Greeks and the Bulgarians. The latter, emboldened by their success, claimed all eastern Roumelia and Macedonia, and wanted to place all the Greek schools, churches and priests under the exarch. The Greek patriarch, despairing to bring them to reason, issued an edict declar ing the Bulgarian exarchaic as a body outside of tiie pale of the Greek ortho dox church, hut the Bulgarians, sup ported by Russia, succeeded eighteen years after to have three episcopal secs in tin: provinces of Achris, Vclessa and Scopia, and on Aug. 4, 1890, the sultan issued a firman recognizing them offi cially as dependencies of the exarchate. By the coup de main of Uhilippopolis the Bulgarians became the masters of 120,000 Greeks in eastern Roumelia as well as of their schools and of their churches. « Get the Most Gut of Your Food You don’t and can’t if your stomach is weak.

The current issue of the Spectator contains an article by Frederick L. Hoffman on the “Suicide Record For 1902.” The data presented are based upon statistics from fifty-one cities, having u population of 14,500.000. It is shown that, comparing the ten years from 1892 to 1!KH with the year 1902, suicide has increased, the rate per 100,- 000 population being 10 for the decade and 17 for the year 1902. New York city, boroughs of Manhat tan and Bronx, stand fifth on the list, but show a decrease in 1902, with a rate of 21 per 100,000 for year and 21.2 for the decade, cities with higher rates than York for the longer period are St. Louis, 25.7; Hoboken, 24.0; Chi cago, 23.4, and Oakland, Cal., 22.5. All these save St. Louis show an increase for 1902, aud Hoboken stands out as the horrible example in the entire list, with a rate of 35.7 for last year. The borough of Brooklyn comes niuth in the gt noral list, with a rate of 10.2 for the ten years and 19.3 for 1902. In the fifty cities included in the general ta ble the totals are 19,700 suicides in the ten years, 1892-1901, and 2,452 In 1902. Figures by nationalities are also in teresting. By these it Is shown that in the registration area of the United States the rate among native Ameri cans is 0.8 per 100,000 of population, against <5.1 for those <*f Irish origin, 19.3 for those of German origin and 22 for those of French origin. A table on the suicide rate of males aged thirty- five and over for New York city indi cates an increase from 4.8 per 100,000 of population In 1SS1 to 0.2 In 1901. This is considered by the author as being of special importance to insur ance interests. Cttiiiftl Forty PouikIh In Thirty Dit.m.

Kitts calls on the government for aid for the laboring population of the island who are starving. In the spring of 1887 Mr. Chamber lain made a short tour in Scotland, speaking In defense of the crimes net, which was designed to cope with the awful epidemic of murder and outrage then proceeding in Ireland, says the Penny Pictorial Magazine. Describing some of these ghastly outrages at Ayr. there suddenly came, from the back of the hall, a cry, “Watch yourself!” The audience wished to throw the man out.

If we come to the question of the schools the discrepancy between the Greek and the Bulgarian schools is still more striking. It is a well known fact that the money for the maintenance of the Bulgarian schools in Macedonia comes chiefly from Sofia, while the Greek schools are maintained exclusive ly by the Macedonian Greeks, tiie Greek government never having given one cent for the schools of Macedonia. A rich Bulgarian called Geld maintains | a school in Salonika at his own ex- ! pense. While most of the nationalities of the orient, following the example of the j Greeks, have tried to free themselves from the Ottoman domination by the force of arms and by the sacrifice of their blood and their worldly goods, the Bulgarians sought to obtain the same result by leaving to some one else to do it for them. Thus, in the first part of the nineteenth century, they fell into the arms of Russia. T" all the petroleum consumed in the United States is a foreign product, and the supply is limited.
