Advantages of Scheme.
PARIS. Dec. 17. According to the
Vienna correspondent of the Journal a
friend of Archduke Fran Ferdinand
is authority for the disclosure of an
ambitious plan which the.Archduke has
conceived and Is now actively endeav
oring to make effective. . If the plan
Is successful it is expected to have the
effect of completely breaking up at one
stroke the political forms and the sys
tem of alliance of Europe today.
Ancleat Kingdom to Be Restored.
In a word, the Archduke aims at the
creation of a vast Slav empire of the
South under the crown of the Haps
burg. He Is now preparing a coup
d'etat in Austria-Hungary to clear the
way for the first part- of his pro
gramme, which is the liberation of the
discontented and ill-assorted peoples'
who"form the monarchy. Having thus
made a clean sweep of existing politi
cal conditions, he will proceed with the
.work of building up, by restoring the
ancient historical Kingdoms ana iouna-
ing new principalities.
Aatonomous Kingdoms Included.
The new' confederation, according to
the same authority, is to include the
autonomous kingdoms of Hungary, Bo
hemia and Poland, each wltu its own
Dersonal ruler: Servia. with its fron
tiers extended by recent victories and
still further increased by the inclusion
of Slavonia; Montenegro, enlarged by a
part of Dalmatia and part or fierzego
vina and the other Balkan states.
Poland is said to hfcve been quick
to eraSD the plan and has signified
unanimous adhesion. Bulgaria is fa
vorably disposed and active pour par

reror Ferdinand and Archduke Franz
Ferdinand. Servia, it is said, is be

scheme.

Federal Force Divides and Two Sec

Ett PASO, Tex.,. Dec 27. "A house
divided" resulted in federal lighting at
Colonia Juarez, in the Casas Grandes
district,- last Sunday. Persons arriving
hers tonight from the American colony
relate how the federal column of Gen
eral Jose Blanco attacked itself last
Sunday while seeking the rebels.
Hearing that the Salazar rebels were
at Colonia Juarez, travelers relate, the
federal commander divided his force
of 600 men and attacked the town from
opposite directions. . The Inhabitants
hugged the floors of their houses until
the firing stopped. After fighting four
hours against each other and ex
pending about 2000 rounds of ammuni
tion, the federals learned that they
were lighting one another and that the
rebels never had been In the town. Sev
eral soldiers were wounded, but none
killed.
In the meantime Salazar was evac
uating Ascension and moving toward
Casas Grandes. avoiding Colonic
Juarez.
The reported victory of Blanco
against the rebels may have been the
"attack" on Colonia Juarez. Official ad
vices Insist that Cases Grandes remains
in federal hands.
Modest Rendition of Handel's Great
Work Is Credit; Soloists Invest
Roles With Feeling.
An impressive rendition of Handel's
oratorio. "The Messiah, by soloists
and chorus of nearly 100 voices, under
the direction of J. A. Finley, was given
last nicht In the auditorium of the
Masonic Temple, before a large audi
ence and all those who took part in the
recital are entitled to credit. The re
cltal was the maiden one of the Port'
land Oratorio Society and the latter
made good. The soloists were: Mrs.
Rose Bloch Bauer, soprano; Mrs.- Del-
phine Marx, contralto; John Ross Far
go, tenor, Stuart McGuire, baritone,
and Maldwyn Evan, bass-baritone, with
Edgar E. Coursen and Lowell Patton,
pianists.
In tho larger cities of the Eastj es
pecially at this season of the year,
Handel's "Messiah" Is sung by expe
rienced oratorio soloists of National
reputation, under the auspices of choral
societies that have been for some time
established and have plenty of re
sources, money and otherwise, and with
instrumental accompaniments provided
by symphony orchestras. Last night
the Portland Oratorio Society had to
be content with a more modest rendi
tion, as it is a young society' and at
the last moment, as it were, it had to
be reinforced by singers from Centenary
Methodist Episcopal Church oiiolr. Ex
erpts from the ' "Messiah", were given
with earnest, serious Intent and the
music was sung by the chorus with in
telligence and even enthusiasm. The
best sung chorus, for attack and fin
ish, was "And the Glory," the second
in point of vocal excellence being "Hal
lelujah." -
Mrs. Bauer sang with brilliance, fin
ished- vocalism and crisp declamation
In thei various soprano solos and Mrs.
Marx pleased with the sympathy and
earnestness wlttr' which " she invested
her. contralto solos. Mr. Fargo's tenor
was' heard to advantage and Mr. Mc
Guire and Mr. Evans were equally suc
cessful in the baritone solos. Mr. Cour
sen and .Mr. Patton played the piano
accompaniments most admirably and
were the hardest worked people at
the entire recital.
The Portland Oratorio Society has
passed its first milestone and is sure
to grow as a choral factor in this oity.
Mr. Finley made a capable conductor.

NEGRO CLUBIS RAIDED
25, Including Proprietor, Are Placed
Under Arrest by Police.
Feeling by tha police of the first
relief that a colored club at 91 North
Park street has been effective in pro
tecting women thieves in the past two
weeks resulted in a second raid upon
the place late Thursday night, and the
arrest of J. H. Reed, proprietor, and 24
negroes who were in the place. The
plainclothes squad of the first relief,
Sergeant Harms, Patrolmen Long, Mar
tin and Wise entered the place by a
plank shoved into a second-story win
dow from a garage next -door, and took
20 off the tables where, it is charged,
the negroes had been shaking dice.
A. raid several days ago netted 15,
who were charged with vagrancy.
Reed was last night charged with con
ducting a gambling, game and the
others with visiting a gambling place.
Negro women in the past 14 days
have netted about $300 by theft. Some
of this had been returned and in other
cases the losers did not report to the
police. It is said by the officers that
the women went to the club, where
the police were refused entry or de
layed until the women had made good
their escape.

the alleged result of his own effort to

sons.
Gowan for' the past year has at

been persistently rebuffed.
According to her relatives, frenzied
by these results it is said he went to

a moment later an explosion occurred,

Gowan was found lying on the kitch

blown away, his left hand lacerated
and himself unconscious.
The motive for the desperate act Is
attributed to the fact that the 17-year-old
daughter of Beck had spurned the

refusal to marry.

Paper Front Bamboo.
New York Post.
Scottish engineers have perfected
plans for the manufacture of paper, on
a large scale, from bamboo. On a site
near Kagl, Japan, a factory has been
Installed with every requisite to deal
in the first place with 300 tons of
pulp per month, but with room for any
development. In this case the pulp
will be treated in Formosa and shipped
in rolls or sheets to the paper mills at
Kobe, just in the same way as the
wood pulp of Norway, Sweden, Rus
sia and Finland is shipped to the
United Kingdom to feed the BritiBn
paper mills. . It Is hoped that in the
Far East bamboo pulp will enable
Eastern mills to compete with the
British and American Imported paper
of the finer qualities. The process of
manufacture from bamboo is a more
expensive one than that from wood. It
Is thought that experiments may
cheapen the process, and the supply of
the cane is practically Inexhaustible.
Moreover.-the bamboo -is a plant that
can readily be cultivated.- If any par

THE AIR OF CITIES.
It Has Amazing Properties and Rots
Iron and Stone of Buildings.
Fearson's Weekly.
Buckingham Palace, it has recently
been announced, is going to have its
front rebuilt in a different sort of
stone. The reason is that the pres
ent sort Caen stone crumbles away
so quickly under the Loitdon air that
it is almost always in the hands of re
storers and painters.
The new sort Portland stone is the
sort always chosen nowadays for a
great new. public building.
City air has amazing properties. Tho
smoke and soot that are always in the
atmosphe're (there are 6000 tons of soot
hanging over London every day) con
tain lots of sulphur, and this sulphur,
when it meets certain substances,
forms sulphuric acid or vitriol.
It was the vitriol In the atmosphere
that brought the great roof of Char
ing Cross station down with a crash
a' few years ago. The engine smoke
had eaten away the iron, which was
insufficiently painted. And some years
ago, before - the London underground
was electrified, it was a great joke at
one of the stations, for passengers to
go and poke umbrellas into a certain
iron girder which at one pointy was
nearly as soft-as putty.
Paint Is, In such cases, the engineer's
great standy-by. In some ways paint
is more powerful than iron.
Many city buildings might-be said to
be . practically: held together by paint,
particularly railway stations.
- Since the Charing Cross disaster all
big railway stations are in the paint
er's hands practically all the time.
Since the Forth bridge was finished
the painters have never stopped, work
ing at it. But for a skin of paint, the
vitriol in the engine smoke might rot
the bridge. '
It is this substance, too, that has
made Cleopatra's needle show- greater
signs of age since it came to London 40
years ago than it did after 2000 years
In the clear air of Egypt.
Though nobody's nose is keen enough
to detect the fact, the atmosphere of
every large city smells faintly of rot
ten eggs.
All soot contains quantities of sul
phuretted hydrogen, the gas which sup
plies the smell of a bad egg.
It is this property of city air that

Even today the traveler in Troas
finds many slims of its former glory.
It was evidently a granite city like
modern Aberdeen. Many of the stones

years.
Travelers In the early part of the
last century saw far more of the ruins
than are left for the modern traveler.
One tells of "a stupendous column
which was concealed among some" trees
In the neighborhood the like of which
scarcely existed even in Egypt." An
other early traveler speaks of hundreds
of columns, and says that many are
bristling among the waves to a consid
erable distance out at sea. We are
even told that the granite columns of
Troas were used for making cannon
balls for the defense of. the Darda

BULGARIA'S . ONE CLASSIC
"Adventures of Ble Ganlo Balkan
ski," a Comedy.
Review of Reviews.
I had been in Bulgaria some months
and the sound of spoken Bulgarian had
begun to hold meaning to me here and
there.
TII me," I ' asked two English
speaking friends, with whom I was out
walking one day, wnat is mat wora
hear bo. often: .'By ganio?
My friends leaned against a stone
wall and laughed. '
You will never know. Bulgaria,
said .one of them, finally, "until you
know Bie Ganlo. Tourists write about
us that we are boorish and- sullen and
that w hate foreigners. You should
suspend judgment " until . you have
learned to speak to. Ble -Ganlo in his
native tongue. You may know worse
things about us, but you may also
know better."
Long afterward I learned that "Ble
Ganio" was a book. "The Adventures
of Bio Ganio Balkanski." by Aleko
Konstantinoff the one piece of litera
ture that is truly Bulgarian, for Its
author was only a .simple Journalist
with no pretensions to foreign literary
culture.
The hero of the adventures Is a Bul
garian peasant from Shlpka who has
heard of the wonders of Western civil
ization. After Bulgaria's liberation he
determined to see for himself, for he
has heard it said that he, too, is now
European. He travels over the con
tinent, paying his way by selling attar
of roses in- little bottles, which he
carries in a bag slung over his shoul
der. He has adopted European dress,
but from under, his vest peeps the red
sash which suspenders have not yet
displaced. His heavy mustache droops
over a chin that is never quite shaven.
nor is it ever quite bearded, and his
collarless, white shirt is never quite
white.
Bie Ganio, of course, is Bulgaria
comine in first contact with Western
civilization. From first to last the
narrative of adventures is a bitter sa
tire; the Incidents themselves are told
with a. frank, .Rabelaisian coarseness.
Invariably the laugh is on poor, ignor.
ant Ble Oanlo and his atrocious mis
takes, though sometimes the dart of
ridicule turns outward and pricks the
cultured Europeans with whom Ble
Ganio tries to mingle. In the last few
chapters Bie Ganio has come home and
is trying to apply what he has learned
abroad to local conditions, not always
haDDilv.
By itself the book is remarkable
enough; it will remain a literary
classic. But a thousand times more
remarkable Is the reception accorded
It by the Bulgarian people. In Greece
the author would have been mobbed
and the church would have declared
his work, high treason and unholy. But
Bulgaria received the book in silence,
read It, recognized itself as the hero
of the adventures and burst Into a
low roar of laughter that has never
since died down. In every household
von will find a well-worn copy, for
over and over again it is read aloud
by the young people while their Illiter
ate elders sit back and chortle.

Why Women Live Longer.
London Daily Mail.
Though doctors have long realized
that, thanks to a better knowledge of
sanitation and personal hygiene, peo
pie are living longer than formerly,
the much greater relative longevity of
women as shown In the recently pub

the mortality of government life an
nuitanta has come as a general sur
prise.
In a summary of these figures it was
shown that the expectation of life of
a woman of 50 is now more than a year
greater than it was in 1875. while that
of a man of the same age is only three
months greater.
Discussing the reasons of our
creasing longevity and in particular
woman s stronger hold on life, physi
cians at St. Bartholomew's Hospital ad.
vanced widely different theories. "The
essential cause of death," one stated,
"is a( wearing out from overwork of

as brainy as men. but they do not
work their brain cells as vigorously or
as continuously as do their male rela
tlves. If they did there would not be
so great a disparity in the. length of
life of the two sexes.
Another consultant puts down . wo
man's greater expectation of life to the
more sheltered existence she' leads, and
the lack of the physically depressing
competition which is part of nearly
every man's life. "A woman may have
hard work to do," ho explained, "but
