War Inevitable, "War in the Balkans, which we dis cussed in the preceeding issue as a pos sible result of Russia's preoccupation in the Far East, now seems wholly inevi table. Last week Turkey addressed a note to all the powers signatory to the Berlin treaty stating her reasons for her hostile attitude toward Bulgaria. In this she makes specific charges againt Bui- garia, these charges falling within the general outline of her grievances given by us last week. Turkey claims that Bulgaria is rushing arms to the frontier ; that the artillery and powder factories of Sofia are working double timo and with double force; that the military roads leading into Turkey are being pre pared for the immediate passage of troops ; that strategic points along the frontier are being, fortified ; that dyna mite is being furnished the Macedonian rebels. Turkey does not announce in this communication what course she ex pects to pursue. The natural inference is that this note is an advance explana tion of punitive measures she is about to undertake. The Forte believes that only war can make an end of the pres ent disorder. INSURRECTION IX ALBIXIA. Turkey's position is complicated by an insurrection now in progress in Albinia The Albanians have risen in revolt in consequence of oppressive tax measures and the Macedonian reform scheme, which to them is exceedingly obnoxious. Twenty thousand of the rebels besieged Shemsi Pacha, with 2,509 troops, at Babaihasi. Reinforcements were hur ried to Shemsi Pacha's aid, and theeiege was raised, the Albanians being routed with a loss of S00 men killed and wounded. A second battle was fought Feb. IS in Northern Albania, in which conflict the rebels were defeated with a loss of 500 men killed and disabled. In both of these battles the Turks also lost heavily. An anomalous feature of this uprising is that the Sultan's sympathy seems to be with the rebels. Shemsi Pacha, who was in charge of the troops at Diakova, has been relieved of his com ma rid owing to the Sultan's displeasure with his op pressive treatment of the Albanians. The Sultan has always held his Alban ian subjects in high favor. Qardiner News. (Gazette) We are expecting by every mail from Coos Bay now, a letter of permission to publish eome railroad news that will be of the greatest interest to our people on the lower Umpqua. We obtained the information from a reliable source dur ing our recent visit to ilarshfield and will be free to give it out in a lew days. The following is an extract from a let ter received at this office from the Hon orable Binger Hermann. -"The House of Representatives passed my bill for penfioningof one of your old pioneers, Hank Barnett, an old veteran stage man of forty years continuous service." e nave it etraignt trom tne proper authority that there is going to be some thing doing in Gardiner within a few months. While we are not yet at liberty to say just what it will be or who is be hind it, we can say that it is an enter prise involving a capital of $100,000 and furnishing employment for about 100 skilled workmen.

The announcement that the British programme of naval construction for 1905 has been cut down, presumably be cause ot the Rueeian sea reverses, adds the comment of facf and the emphasis of example to Congressman Burton's protest -against the rapid increaee of our naval expenditure. it. is ureat .Britain's policy to mam tain a sea-power equivalent to the com bined fleets of "Russia, France and one other." In total tonnage, though prob ably not in modern effectiveness, she now has that vast preponderance. The smashing of the Russian ships gives hdr breathing-space; instead of beginning three great battle ships before April 1 of next year she will lay down two Even at this she will expend the enormous sum of $134,000,000, upon a comprehen eivelist which is especially strong in torpedo-boats and submarines. The United States navy is generally reckoned as fifth in present power, but ours is the only nation which is now actually building a greater tonnage than its whole present effective total, We are tb.ua more than doubling our navy by pending construction. We are now building nearly threo times as much tonnage as Germany or Russia i nearly twice as much as France and only a trifle less than Great Britain hor self. Counting all vesselB under construc tion with those afloat the American navy will be third in tonnage, and con sidering the greater effectiveness of now construction it may even rival that of France for second place. Is there, then, any reason why we should stand com mitted to a "programmo" of expendi ture of $100,0000,000 a year now and from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 a year in the hot distant future for tbo increase of our navy to world-challenging proportions?

Diseases are to the body what weeds are to the soil. They divert the nutri tion which is necessary to sound health, and the body, instead of being strong and hardy, drags out a sickly existence. When the stomach is diseased, and the other organs of digestion and nutrition are involved with it, there is a constant loss of nutrition by the body. The stom achs and its allied organs are not able to convert the foods into nourishment, and hence the body and its several organs are deprived of the necessary elements of vitality. What is known as "weak" heart or "weak" bines, "weak" nm and other forms of so-called weakness, are ! srenerallv earned hv RwmV tnmi?i When the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition are cured, then the other diseases are cured with it. Dis eases which are caused by a diseased condition of the stomach are cured through the stomach.

Foes mm NEW USE FOR FOOTBALL Vale Instructor Applies the Sport to Greek Verse. BAME WITH HAEVAED THE T0PI0. Dr. II. n. Wright's Theory la Thnt j Football Aronici the Same Enthu slaem In Modern Youth That KventH Described. In the "Iliad." and "Od yssey" Inspired In Men of Other Dnya Hearty Reaponae Ilnde to IIIn Plan. Football and the classics arc 'being combined In the course of Greek at Yale, says a New Haven dispatch to the Philadelphia Press. Nearly a hun dred poema recently written In Homer ic verse on the subject of the Yale Harvard football game were presented by members of Dr. H. B. Wright's Greek classes. The poems are closely modeled on the "Iliad," and special attention to the use of Homeric epithet was required of the students. Instead, however, of references to "swift footed Achilles" and "Ajax, who bore his shield like a tower," It waa "Roraback with his back sloped like a mountain" and "long headed, red headed Rockwell." The poems were the result of a plan of Dr. H. B. Wright, Instructor In Greek, to arouse the Interest of the students and to familiarize them with the construction of the epic verse. His theory Is that the game of football arouses the same feeling of Intense enthusiasm In the modern youth that the events described in the "Iliad" and i the "Odyssey" Inspired in the men of former times. Accordingly he made an offer of extra credit to members of his ! the lines laid down. The general and enthusiastic response, he says, con firms him In his theory. The offer was made after he had tried vainly to interest his classes In Greek. The language and lofty sentl ments 'of Homer had no effect on the majority of the students, who seemed unable to get the spirit of the poetry. In trying to find a contemporaneous ex ample of the feeling which Inspired part of the world's greatest literature he thought of the game of football. "Football Is real and vivid to every one of these men," he said In explain ing his Idea. "It arouse the same In tense admiration that Is manifest In Homer. Rafferty, Hogan and Shevlln occupy positions almost like demlgodi of old In the estimation of the under graduates. They are not unfitting sub jects for heroic poetry; they have many of the qualifications strength, courage daring and brains. The battle Is one In which the strong of body, the quick of eye and the swift of foot will tri umph. The poetry which 1 have read Is very satisfactory and shows that the men have caught the spirit I desired. Many of the epithets are truly Homer ic." The following Is a part of one of the poems handed in: This Is the noble array which Rafferty. mlghtj-ln battle. Led to the glorious conflict, under the bonny blue banner; Fanner, the mighty line hitter, low smashing, firm aa a mountain. Guarded the center back field: Metcalf. the speedy, stood next him Holding the line at his right hand, and Mitchell stood hard by his left hand Bherlln. whom Hermes, thejr say, given his wonderful sandals. had Guarded tha tar right wine atronc la offense or defensive; KoctwclL the crafty, waa there, dose behind Roraback. center. Whom Bloomer, the mighty line smasher. and Batch elder, strong as a bollock. AVJod on either aide. JUST ONE PER CENT. I The Proportion of Ataericaa Goods wis bBujrr Auroiu loan ai liumr. In the New York Times of Sept 25 appears a communication from Mr. A. ( B. Jennings In reply to the contention that the American people are the vic tims of "brazen highway robbery be cause possibly 1 per cent of the total output of our domestic output of manu factures Is sold abroad cheaper than the remaining 90 per cent Is sold at home. Says Mr. Jennings: " 'A,' be he Individual or trust, hires a body of men to manufacture. In every business there ore the seasons of rapid and slow sales. The body of men have families to support and must be employed through busy and duU season, and a force large enough tc keep up with the busy season demand produces & surplus for the dull season. "The goods sold at lower price than European production, his 'brazen high way robbery, must be this surplus, for If It were not a surplus of production It would be sold here at the better , prices of home market and the 'brazen j highway robbery- has given work to . thousands in our beloved land and con tributed to the prosperity to which the Times and Mr. Kenny would make an end If people who vote are persuaded to follow their leading. "But I believe the lesson of the Wil son bill Is deep In the hearts of people and fully abroad In the land and will not be forgotten at the election two years hence. If I did not believe this, I would turn into cash all the real es tate I hold before the crash comes of another attack of free traders upon home Industries." To this proposition that It is better to dispose of surplus production In for eign markets at a reduced price than to stop production when the limit of home consumDtlon has been reached there la tint nnft nnatrw flint- la tint one free trade answer. It is th!s:'"We care nothing about home production, home labor, home wages. What we are looking for. what we have always Contended for. Is lower prices. To that end we hnre aruiIImI nrntmHInn uroi- since the first American congress passed and George Washington signed the first protective tariff law. We care nothing about wages, about the Interests of. la bor, about the American standard of living. Whatwe want and always have wanted Is cheaper prices. Therefore, we say, repeal the Dingley law, with Its protection to labor and wages, and let foreign competition come In." That Is the free trader's answer of yester day, today and forever. It Is also tho answer of certain Republican "pro gressives," who think prices are too high and would revise the tariff down ward In order to lower prices. The Re publican proposition Is: Let the tariff alone, let prosperity alone, and the question of prices will In time solve It self. NEW YEAR'S CARDS. They Originated In jopi,n, Wlierr Ther Are Wow Obsolete. In Japan originated the art of mak ing and tbe custom of exchanging Now Tear cards. Today both are as obso lete In the Flowery Kingdom as Is New Year's calling In tbe United States. More charming art. more de llghtful custom, are not numbered among tho goodthlnga that havci pruned ftway ltTrhnlr Ue, 'let us hope, a happy rovival, For rrmro than a hundred years the deslgnlnc and coloring of Now Year cards occupied the attention of the foremost draftsmen and wood engrav ers of Japan. They were made at the command of the noblemen of tho em peror's court In size they were from six to eight Inches, and each was In scribed with a poetic sentiment dictat ed by the noblo giving the order. They were printed from flvo or six blocks, each color requiring, as in modern color printing, a separate block. Tho blocks were tho property of the noblo, who retained or destroyed them at will. No reprints for another were ever permitted. A nobleman's New Year card was like his coat of arms or his sword. The surlmonos, as Japan's New Year's cards were called, were designed specially to please some lady love. New York Press. The McKay Bequest to Harvard. Harvard university, already one of the four richest universities in the country, measured by the amount of Its productive funds, has lately re ceived what will probably be the lar gest windfall In the shape of a legacy ever secured by an American institu tion of learning. Under the terms of the will made by the late Gordon Mc Kay, the millionaire inventor and man ufacturer of shocmaklng machinery, Harvard will eventually inherit all of his Immense estate, estimated to be worth at present between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. The amount presently available un der the terms of the bequest will, it U believed, be about $4,000,000. Briefly stated, the university is to have 80 per cent of the net income of the $20,000, 000 estate left by Mr. McKay after certain annuities amounting to $47.CO0 are provided for. This Income la to accumulate until It amounts to $1,000, 000, when it is to be paid over and de voted to Instruction In all grades of applied science and In extending aid to meritorious students. On the death of the last of the annuitants the execu tors are to pay over to Harvard the entire estate and all unexpended in come to be used In the advancement oi scientific education. The McKay bequest, which ranks among the most notable In the record of educational benefactions and they have been many and large revives public interest In the endowments and productive funds of other Institutions of learning In this country. Among the richest Institutions and the amounts of productive funds credited to them dur Ing the last college year are the fol lowing: Armour institute C 500.000 Columbia university lZ.rs3.Sol Cornell university 7,677,631 Glrard college 15.9CC.SI Harvard university 1X119.523 Johns Hopkins university .... 4.4M.0C4 Iceland Stanford.

It wUI be observed that Harvard ranks very high financially without tha addition of the McKay bequest, which again exemplifies the Scriptural max im. "To him that hath shall be given." A LONS CHRISTMASTIDE. nolldaya TauU Extend Into the Hrvt Testr. While In this country, as In England. Germany and other parts of Europe, the Joyous spirit of the Christmas fes tival is by no means limited fo Dec. 25, but finds expression in many ways in the life and amusement of the peo ple both before and after that day It self, comparatively little attention is paid here to the observance of the numerous designated holidays which In other lands go to make up Christ ma8tldc. The period opens with St Thomas' day, which falls on Dec 21, and closes with St Distaffs day, on Jan. 7. The first named festival Is known In some parts of England at "Doling day," on account of the dls trlbutlon of the bounty of charitable Individuals, and In most English dtlct at the present time the day is given up largely to tbe anniversaries of chari table societies and the distribution of benefits among the poor and needy. It Is also the day chosen for the election of church officers, a custom adopted hero In some denominations, and ft appears also from the old rhyme that certain public officials wcro elected at the same time: My masters alL this is St Thomas' day. And Christmas now can't bs far oft you'll say. And when you to the ward motes do re pair I hope such good men will bo chosen then as constables for the earning year As will not grudge the watchman good strong Deer. As for St Distaff 8 day. which closed the merry round of Christmastlde; that anniversary Is now rarely observed anywhere, but hi the good old times In' England It was not the least nmong tha happy festlvols of the year. It takes Its name from the fact that on this day it was the custom for women to re sume for a few hours their labors at the distaff or the spinning wheel It was sometimes called "Rock day" In Honor of the rock, which Is another name for distaff. Leslie's Weekly. A VIEW OF AN IDEAL PASTOR aweceea Host Be Blond and ume Eyed, Says Chicago Divine. "The pastor with flaxen hair neat ly parted in the middle, blue eyes and a pcachllko complexion, attire up to aaie ana personality attractive and popular with tho ladles Is the Ideal and successful minister, according to the fashionable churchgoers of today,'' de clared tho Rev. J. E. Taltor before the Congregational ministers In Chicago uie otner aay. 11 matters not if the man Is a deep thinker and one who has made deep research into Blblo study. If he Is not attractive he cannot influence tho mem bers of bis flock, and his usefulness Is gone. "If thecongregatlons of this decade persist in ineir nobby of desiring a toppisu minister tne 01a time pastor wno nas been useful In years gone by had better look for another occupa tion." In giving the details of a murderous assault a Chicago paper said, "One sweep of tbe knife had slashed her waist almost from shoulder to wrist" Surely the victim is a proper subject for a dime museum. If mobs are encouraged at smart weddings In New York it may be noc essary to supplement the lists, of pree: cnts and distinguished guests with a list of the killed and injured.
