RETURNING TO MEXICO Rev. and Mrs. John H. Howland Reach San Francisco in Safety A letter dated San Francisco, March 4, received here by Miss Mar- ion D. Chollar, tells of the safe ar- rival in California of ‘Rev. and Mrs. John Howland, who had some diffi- culty in getting out of Mexico and over whose apparent danger there was some inclination to worry during the earlier part of the week. Rev. and Mrs. Howland succeeded in getting safely across that part of Mexico between Guadalajara, where they had been stationed, and the port ¢ Manzanillo, from which they took hip for Calffornia, reaching there afely after a rough passage up the coast. Their plans, as outlined in the letter, provided for their leaving almost at once for El Paso, Texas, and from }h&t city across the border and into fexico again, with Chihuahua as their Qestination. Mrs. Howland's letter tells some- thing of the terrible conditions ex- isting in Mexico City a few days ago. The populace were without sufficient fcod and water and in fear of a plague. Money was practically un- obtainable. Prices for all commodities had mounted sky high. Thread was selling for $1 a spool. From the contents of Mrs. How- land’s letter it is gathered that condi- tions in the Mexican capital are ex- tremely critical, as outlined in the press dispatches, of this week. Cat's Broken Leg Bono Set. ‘Why kill a cat if it breaks a leg, as sometimes happen? It isn't done in Danielson any more. A furry pet in a High street home has had the ex- perience cf a broken leg bone and has fully recovered, as the result of hav- ing a bonesetter of local reputation give it treatment and attention. The ! cat by good sense and extraordinary | patience contributed toward the suc- cessful outcome of the experiment and is now able to frisk around almost as ‘blithely as ever, all of which gives great satisfaction to its owner.

Talk is now heard In the city of a plan to so amend the bill in the legis- lature providing that the position of captain of police in Putnam be made a permanent position as to _include all the members of the police department. There has been oposition to the pas- sage of the bill in its original form and much discussion, pro and con, of the whole subject of taking the ap-| pointment to the office of captain of| police out of the hands of the com- mon council, where it now rests and is exercised every two years. The chief argument in favor of the measure is that it will give the cap- tain, whoever he may be, the backing he is_entitled to, protect him from at- tack by politicians whom he might of- fend, or those having strong political influence, through the fearless dis- charge of his duties and by maling his place more sccure from unfalr at- tacks on account of doing any legiti- mate work he might be called upon to do. It is held that this would also apply equally as well to all members of the force. Such a measure as is pending has ‘becn introduced before but dropped be- cause of opposition much the same as is now current. Those against the plan do not want to see the appointive power taken away from the common council, which, they claim, has littlej power now and that it should not be reduced. Thosa favoring the resolution point| out that, under the arrangement pro- posed, the captain of police, or all of- ficers should_they be included, could bo removed for cause, and easily, should unbecoming conduct or other charges agsaiost them be proven, St. Mary’s Church Notes.

Looks Hopeful, According to Congress- man Calvin D. Paige—Talked of as Far Back as 1825, A Worcester paper, under a South- bridge date line, has the following in- tere g article relative to the propos. cd_canal from Norwich to Worcester: With the passing of the river and harbor bill by congress, last week, shortly before the close of the 63rd session, provisions were made for a survey to be made of the Quinebaug and French rivers, with a view of having ultimately & canal from Nor- wich to Worcester. This survey will probably be made this summer, according to Congress. man Calvin D, Paige. Altrough the river and harbor bill recelved a decisive slash from the original amount desired, a_survey of| the Quineabaug and French rivers with the view of a canal from Norwich to Worcest: stood the cut. | Congressman Paige said: “A similar scheme was contemplated in 1825, with the canal to be built from | Norwich, Corn., up through Webster, Southbridge, Sturbridge and Fiskdale to Brookfield This was considered be- fore there were railroad facilities, for| at that time transportation of freight| was done overland at great. expense.” Congressman Paige, a few years ago, unearthed papers that gave an inkling of a mammoth project under way 90 years ago. Away back in 1825, and Southbridge were places of the promoters. Copies of items of the transactions now in possessio nof Mr. Paige, read as follows: “At g meeting of citizens of Norwich, held at the home of William Healy, Jr, for tho purpose of making nec- essal arrangements to provide for a survey of a route for a canal from Norwich to Worcester county: “First, chose Shelton Tilton, chairman. ‘Second, Moses Plympton, secretary. ‘Voted, that the proceedings of this meeting be sigred by the chairman and secrgtary and published in Wor- cester papers. “Voted, to chose a committee of sev- en in the state of Massachusetts, to cooperate with the committee chosen in Connrecticut, for the purpose of ob- taining funds by subscription for the payment of a canal route from Nor- ch to Brookfield and its yicinity and Norwich, Conn., the meeting Esaq., Make your food more tempting with Cottolene For .rnaking cakes, pies and pastry —for all shortening and frying—Cottolene is supreme.

Ground of Peoples Interestingly Described. Dumping and Forms (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., March 11— Wherein Macedonia best represents all the elements in Balkan poitics which g0 to make them the most uncertain of all possible politics and the most prophet-confusing of all things in the world, is shown in a communication to the National Geographic Society by Luigi Villari, concerning the races and religions of Macedonia. Besides reflecting in an intensified way _the conditions which have made devélop- ment difficult throughout all the his- tory of the Balkans, this former Turkish strip of territory, in the heart of the peninsula, today is largely re- sponsible for the preoccupation with neutrality of Greece, of Albania and of Bulgaria. Describing Macedonia’s peculiarly Balkan nature, Mr. Villari says: “Macedonia has for two thousand years been the ‘dumping ground of different peoples and forms; indeed it is a perfect ethnographic museum. The mountainous nature of the inter- ior made it dificult country to con- quer, and the various invaders were never able completely to absorb the different peoples whom they found in it. While the greater part of a dis- trict was occupled by the invader, the aboriginal inhabitants retired into the mountain fastnesses and there main- tain their existences; one race es- tablished itself on the seacoast and another held the interior.” Thus succeeding waves of fmmigra. tion and conquest overlaid this coun try with var tural systems, and re a mass of systems, hed it with contradictory relationships to the remaining lands of the Bal- kans and to the remaining races of Europe. For example, a large Bul- garian population looked to Bulgaria for their future political development, while a large Greek population looked to Greece. Then, there were Servians, Albanians, Rumans, Vlachs, and Turks to complicate the r: and national expression of the country. Heterogeneous in races, languages, customs, histories, ideals, religions and in everything else, the writer points out, Macedonia was an easy problem through centuries for the Turks. Macedonia, Mr. Villari _explains formed neither a racial, a linguisti nor a political unit under dominion. It was the first land in rope colonized by the Turks. aphically, it is a unit, lying Jjust above Thessaly, at the head of ancient Greece, and at a remote period of its history it formed a kingdom. Since the war of the Balkan allies with the Turk, Macedonia has been incorpor- ated with the modern Kingdom of Greece. However, the Bulgarian gov- ernment still makes the cares of the several hundred thousand of Bulgar- ians there its own, increases the de! cacy of Grecian-Bulgarian relations. The Albanians have an interest sim ilar to the Bulgarians in the Mecedon- ian administration. The languages spoken in this strip of land are many, the writer continues While the various religions have been in a state of more or less bitter con- flict for centuries. Most of the Chris- tien population of Macedonia, he save, belong to the Greek Orthodox Church, and these, whether Greek, Bulgarian, Roumanian or Servian, are counted by the Greeks as Greek population. The majority of the Bulgarians, however, belong to the Bulgarian Church, the Bulgarian Exarchate, former members who severed _their connections with the Greek Orthodox fold. There is much bitterness between these two faiths. Islam and Rome and various missionary denominations of Protes- tant faiths divide the remaining pop- ulation. Thus, Macedonla is a _complete pic- ture of the Balkan difficulties where aims, ideals, and nationalities are so diverse, mixed and irreconcilable as to make progress, concerted effort; al- most impossible. The Croton river, which furnishes to New York the greater part of the water consumed in its limits, was named for an Indian chief.
