After signing his confession Hickey said he was glad his life of crime was at an end. “I have made my peace with God,” he zaid. “I am ready to pay the pea- dlty for my crimes demanded by man.” Poisoned Man as Drug Clerk. The Kkilling of the man, Ba Morey, in Lowell, according to Hick- ey's confession, was accidental. He was then a clerk in a drug store wheie frequently called to beg for returring members of the senate for a bill to remove the present limitation upbn pensions to widows of veterans. The law now gives no pension to a widow who married her soldier hus- band after July 27, 1890. Repeated efforts to remove or modify this limitation have failed, and it f& expected. that if the senate should act on a bill this year democrats of the house would vigorously oppose it be- cause of the great increase it would bring to the annual pension outlay. To glve all widows of soldiers the right to apply for pensions would add from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 to the present pension total, it stated.

They were hid- ing behind the organ in the music hall and were discovered before the doors were opened to admit the public. After the meeting another suffra- gette hurled a stone at one of the au tomobiles occupied by Lloyd-George's party with the intention ,it is believed, of injuring the chancellor.

Constantinople, Nov. 29.—Foreign observers here daily are aroused eith- er to condemnation or admiration of the Turks by reason of some peculiar display of characteristics which are different from those of the peoples of | the west. Their indifference to the suffering of their fellow men and the wanton waste of life displayed horri- bly in the wrecks of humanity walk- ing the streets of Stamboul and.

This action was taken in spite of prom- ises to protect the lives of citizens. “The irregulars further excuse the massacre by alleging that the Turay burned several villages before the ea- trance of the Bulgarians into the town of Drama, that 150 Christlan familier perished, and that a number of the leading Jews had been arrested, and grave fears were enftertained for thefr safoty.
