In- | @eed, the pian of campaign drawn up last | year and now set forth In print by the | alde of Boria Sarafoff, the Macedondan | ence of considerable | the Jender, reveals the ex military ability mme of the revolt. ‘The al analvsis of the Turkish official figures regarding the Sultan's army shows the committesmen to e well informed. Their proofs that the utmost number of Turkish troops avaflable for operations in Burope is €70,000 men are convincing. Of these at Jeast 113,00 must | be t0ld off for the transport and commis- mary services: $0,000 to 100,000 men weuld e nesded as an army of observationmnd @efense against Servia, Montenegro and Austria; 15,000 would have to be detached for Albania; the coastguard garrison of Constar.tinople and the guard of communi- cations in the rear of the army operating sgatnst Bulgaria would absorb 11,000 men. The main army fronting igaria, offen- sively or defensively, would demand at Jeast 18,000 men: only 70,000 men would be Jeft for the suppression of the Macedonian guerrilias. The latter, neverthelsss, have organised to meet the eventuality of the whole Turkish force in Europe (47200 men) being employed against them, and If the fnsurgents be as capable as they are con- Hdent the Turks task will be a Nopeless one prime movers - The Spanish soclalist party appears to be ®lmost equaily divided on the question of making common cause with the republicans &t the polls. A canvass recently taken shows that fourteen out of the thirty-four Eroups into which the party is organized have resolved to follow the lead of their Madrid brethren and vote with the republi- ©eans. But the socialists in the great manu- facturing centers, such as Alicante, Bilbao, Burgos, Cordova, Malaga, Vigo, etc, where class feeling is marked very strongly, will have nothing to do with the republicans ‘whom they regard as mere politicians, hun- &7y for the spoils of office. It is noteworthy, however, that the soclalists in Barcelona decided to ally themselves with the repub- Means, by a considerable majority. As in France, so in Spain, the soclalists are di- vided into extremists and opportunists, and Party action is paralyzed by the dicsen wions existing between.the two factions. Should these differences be settled, the gov- ernment might find iteelf confronted by a difficult situation. Already the coalitions Detween the soclalists and republicans Which Bave been effected In some of the largest cities suffice to cause no lttle .nx-l fety In official circles. - Ascording to the statement recemtly fur- mished by the Chamber of Mines at Johan- mesburg 10 the Labor commission the total &vailable supply of native labor in the Transvaal amounts to 25,600 laborers, com- ing trom Cape Colony, Orange River Colony, Bechnanaland, Swazilond, Basutoland and the wouthern jrovinces of Portuguese East Afrioa. The number at present employed is IM900. Present requirements are esti- mated &t 360,700 laborers, inclusive of all the | native labor required by the Central South African rallways. The shortage, therefore, ¥ LUSIW. Five years hence, it i estimated, 50000 natives will be required, including 3,00 for the Transvaal mines. The state- mert shows that 7,14 stamps are now in ©operation, while the number working in July was 37%5. The annual loss In dividends ©n the basis of the present stamping power s estimated at about $9,000.00. These fig- ures are given to dlsprove the assertion that 1he industry is being held back purposely. The statement declares that the stamps standing idle, If at work, would be able to employ 5,600 more skilled whites than are at present employed, while the local trade and ©oal accounts would absorb a sum of $6,50.- Featly more than they now do. The en- Teport estimates that 1113 new Stamps could be erected Wnder faverable ‘eonditions within five years, and adds that the water question would present mo difi- if the mecessary capital were sub- weribed.

PHYSICAL IMPERFECTIONS, Evidence Tends to Prove “We Are a Ome-Sided Race.” Chicago Record-Herald There is no doubt that we are & “ome- #1ded” race. Mentally and physically we are one-sided. We get on one eide of a question and we cling to it with bulldog | tenacity. And this is not said in dlspar- | sgement of the race. The world has little use for a two-sided man or for a “strad- | dler"—the man who gets on both sides of & proposition at once. Ws want a man to| take one side of & prop #Uon, to have a reason for it, and to “stamd pat” This is the mark of individuality. It was the physical one-sidedness of the race, however, that occupied the attention of President Mrs. Linda R. Wade of the| Western Dressmakers’ association In her address to the association at the opening sesslon of its convention in St. Louls. She said: “Not once in five years have I found a woman among my customers who was not one-sided in some way. Perhaps it is one { hip that is higher, one arm that is longer, one shoulder that is more developed, o side that is longer—there is always some- thing that is not perfect.” What Mrs. Wade says of women is equally true of men. It is a rare thing to | find a physically perfect man—a man who is not one-sided all the way through. This is accounted for by the fact that not less than %0 per cent of the human family are right-handed. As a rule, it a child shows any tendency toward ambidexterity or to- ward the use of the left hand more than the right his parents immediately take measures to check it and to teach him to use the right hand for most of his physical tasks. In this way we have become a one-sided race. The right arm is stronger and bet- ter developed than the left arm. The same is true of the right hip, the right shoulder, the right leg. The only difference be- twoen the sexes in this regard is in the greater genlus of the woman for correct ing this defect through resort to the skill- | ful devices of the dressmaker. | SAID IN FU “1 went to California,” said the distin guished western man, “as a forty-niner. “Dear me!" rejoined the very annoying | girl. “were you marked down from fifty?" | —Washington Star. i | “It must be very trying for a modest | “Why," she “She cannot turn from the naked truth | without running into a bare le.”—Chicago Post. | | *Triea to skin me, that scribbler aar ! “What did he want?" | “Wanted to get out a book jointly, he to write the book and I to write the advertise- ments.

HUSTLER FARED TO BUILD A FORTUNE k—A Chapter 1 Romanece. Has Been of In In these days of trouble in Wall street the calcium light of public attention has been directed to the affairs of the Con- solidated Lake Buperior company, the col- |1apse of which last week has wrought havoe and in some Instances financlal ruin throughout New England, Pennsylvania and Canada. In the full glare there stands out the figure and personality of the creator of this vast enterprise, in which $30,000,000 in cash has been sunk. At the same time Wall street takes into view the abject fallure of the important financiers of New Yotk and Philadelphia to save their prop- erty when the crisis came. The picture as presented to the gase of the continen* has given Wall street one of the worst shocks in its varied and troubled history It was a vast industrial empire of the | north which Prancis H. Clergue started out 10 create. The scheme which he | evolved from his fertile brain exceeded in extent that which Andrew Carnegle lived a lifetime to produce and then succeeded in bringing into existence only a small part of Mr. conquest. He had in view the development of a manufscturing world which would | have done credit to the writers of glitter- | ing prospectuses when the South sea en- terprises were floated in London more than a century and & half ago. It is safe to say iat neither Father Marquette nor the Company who traveled and trapped and made dis- coveries in the spots which Mr. Clergue selected as his favored ones, had dreams of industrial empire such as that to which |tried and experienced financiers of New York, Philadelphia and Toronto listened to and enthusiastic. A Thousand Cities in Ome. At the Soo, where the frigid waters of Lake Superior dip into the conneeting Mnk with Lake Huron, Mr. Clergue planned & Pittsburg, & Niagara and a thousand cities of New England rolled into one. There was & water power, canal which would furnish as much power as that of Niagara. Steel end iron plants were to rise from his magician’s wand which would excel those of Pittsburg, while pulp and paper milla, car factories, foundries and the rest would exceed those of New England. His scheme was vast and comprebensive. He ordered it, self-contained and independent He had an ore deposit 200 miles away. Thereupon he built a rafiroad The rail- road required cars and engines. Thereupon be bullt car factories and planned engine works. The line required ralls, so a steel {reil mil was ordered.

Calls for the funds were responded to freely, but an end came. The companies which he had formed—dozens of subsidiary companies—were selling @ great amount of material to themselves, but there was very little which apparently found market outside the self-contalned | enterprise. Dividends were suspended and | a crash followed a demand for additional funds to make the plants productive. They had been built, but were unproductive, as is a twenty-story bullding ready for the tenants with no glass in the windows. During this time the world began to no- tice his work. In a new world, amofg the rugged and wild lands of the Laurentian | area of northern Ontario, there began 1o take shape a vast manufacturing enter- | prise. Its ramifications extended to the | haunts of the aboriginal Indians. People | asked in sober moments, Can this enter- prise pay? They were answered. The | company was ulready paying handsome dividends on its preferred stock. One talked to the directors and others who had visited the sceme of Mr. Clergue’'s opera- { tions and one immediately became enthut The influence of the promoter's en- thusiasm was everywhere apparent. People who are inciined to belittle the enterprise were confronted with such an array of information concerning the nat- ural wealth of the territory that they found solace in & quick retreat. “We have Clergue's word for It.” they were told. | “Look at the great power canal he bullt.

In Bangor Francis M. Clergue was for some years an interesting figure in industrial and financial circies and slso in the south. The history of his various schemes. vividly recalled by many who had o do with them as lnvestors, would make a very long story were it to be written out in detail. Mr. Clergue is the son of J. H.

He was admitted to the bar in Penobscot county, and soon afterward formed a partnership with John R. Mason and the late Mayor Frederick M. Laughton, under the firm name of Laugh- ton, Clergue & Mason. Mr. Clergue early developed a genius for the promotion of great Industrial and financial schemes, and soon quit the active practice of the law, de- voting his time to the forwarding of a variety of enterprises. all of which gave great promise at the outset, but none of which has ever proved profitable—at least tn its original form. First Promotion Scheme. He was the originator of the project to build the Bangor street raillway, the first electric line in Maine, and for the con- struction of the road he formed what was and is yet known as the Public Works company. A great electric power plant was built at Veazle, four miles above Bangor, at the cost of $500.000, and it is the heavy in- terest on that investment that has alwa: been a miflstone around the neck of the cor- poration, keeping it financially embarrassed until very lately, when new men and some additional money came in and, by careful management, succeeded in keeping the en- erprise alive and, latterly, of largely ex- tending its scope. Mr. Clergue also originated the plan to build a rallway up the side of Green moun- tain, on Mount Desert island, near Bar Harbor, and for a few months, while the trip was & novelty, the road seemed likely | to be a success, but after a few seasons of king mo rails and equipment ey the road was torn up and sold to another sl its | mountain rallway company in New Hamp- shire.

It has never paid any profit, but on the other hand has been a losing venture from the start, although well located Another of Mr. Clergue's wventures at about the same time was the establishment f & steamboat line from the terminus of the rafiroad at Mount Desert Ferry to Annapolis, N. 8., it being his idea to thus provide a short and picturesque route from Boston and the west to Halifax, the boat connecting at Annapolis with the Windsor and Annapolls railway across Nova Seotia to Halifax. The steamer Frances, a fine tron boat, was leased from its owners in Stonington, Conn., and ran one season. The scheme was a disastrous faflure, and fell through at the end of the first season. The ice business on the Penobgeot river had clatmed pert of Mr. Ciergue's atten- tion in the boom days, but it does not ap- pear that he ever made any money out of it. while those whom he interested in the business complain that it was not a profit- able investment.
