EUROPE IS AMAZED.
Rapidity of War In Balkans Cause
Much Comment.
London After a four-day' heavy
battle, the Bulgarians are resting.
The Bulgarian have not decided
whether they will attempt to capture
Adriannple by assault or to starve out
its garrison by a siege. The full ex
tent of the Turkish disaster at Kirk
Kilisseh Is unknown here, but it is
almost certain that the bulk of the
garrison there effected a retreat be
fore the town fell into the hands of
the Bulgarians.
The early capture of Kirk Kilisseh
was a great surprise even to Bulgar
ian staff officers and their allies and
the swift progress of the war unex
pected by hurope generally. It has
been only nine dij s since Turkey de
clared war and yet event have
reached the point where possibility of
nterventton by the power is being
Ulked of.

the fertilizer you need now. If the

to buy a good steel plow and a spring

other similar cases, the Injury results
only when too many birds gather In

Nearly all the complain against
the quail for eating fruit are that It
visits vineyards In immense numbers
and eats grapes. When thousands

least one grape, the result Is disas
trous.
In the laboratory Investigation of
the food of these quail 619 stomachs
were examined. Animal food, princi
pally insects, amounted to 3 per cent
of the food, and 97 per cent, vegetable
food. This latter consists of seeds of
plants, most of which are of noxious
or troublesome species.
Ants appear to be a favorite animal
food, but the quail will eat caterpil

spiders, snails and scale Insects.

Waterloo after many victories In un
tangling strange tongue when two
women member of the Iroquois tribe
of Indiana appeared before Magistrate
Herbert, one charging the other with
felonious assault, the weapon being a
can of tomatoes.
Mr. Cecilia Hyde, 45 year old, of
626 Broome street, whose Indian name
la Kaluwalon, charged Mrs. Ida Domi

her tribe as Kalukwas. with assault
after a dispute In the Broome street
house in which they both live.
When the case was called and Police
man Carone of the Macdougal Street
station house arraigned Kalukwas, and
motioned Kaluwalon to approach the
bench, It was learned that, although
bearing English names, neither com
plainant nor defendant spoke English.
Court Interpreter Llchtensteln was
called, but after a short struggle with
the Iroquois guttural begged to be
excused.
"You are the Interpreter of this
court, are you not?" said the magis

Magistrate Herbert talked with him
for a few moments, and learned that
he was a graduate of the Carlisle In
dian school, and that he had brought
his family and other member of hie
tribe to the city to see the sight.
Dominlck told the court that he would
get a woman missionary from the Iro
quois to interpret, and he produced
Mr. Catherine Watson of 47 King
street.
Mrs. Hyde testified that Mr. Domi
nlck beat her over the head with a can
of tomatoes, cutting open her fore
head and splitting her scalp in the
back. Mrs. Hyde's eye were wollen

He Was Not Crazy; He Did Not Go Home
HOUSTON, TEX. "I had rather go
to Jail than to go home with my
wife" were the words of a middle-aged
man who in company with his wife
called at the office of Night Chief of
Police Heck a few nights ago. The
man and woman faced the chief to
gether and the man spoke first hi
words bringing tears to the eyes of hi
better half.
"My wife baa been hounding me
around the street for the past two
hour," said the husband, "and ha
been trying to get me to go home
again. A night In Jail would be pleas
ant compared with the misery of
spending the night with my wife."
Chief Heck, in an effort to obtain
the fact in the case, questioned the
couple and although the man was ob
stinate and harsh toward his wife, she
wept copiously and begged "Joe" to
go home with her. Her pleading waa
in vain, for the husband seemed to be
determined In his purpose to spend
the night in Jail.
Chief Heck told him there had been
no crime committed and that there
wa no Just cause to lock him up, but
the husband protested and even begged
to be placed behind the bars. The case
became serious after the couple had
been in the office for about an hour.

"No, I am not crazy," replied the
husband. "If I wa I would go on

The couple entered the office short
ly after 9 o'clock and all effort on the
part of Chief Heck to pacify the hue
band proved unsuccessful. The hour
slipped by and before either the man
or woman realized It midnight was
near. Both were sleepy, the man was
nodding in hi chair.
Chief Heck waa called away from
his office on an urgent call and when,
he returned both sat in their chair

them a warning to agree and be happy
and the husband and wife walked
