career of Scanderbeg, or
Castriot, as the Albanians love
jH to call their great national
hero, makes one of the most
Illustrious pages in history, whether we
look for the display of personal cour-
age, astute generalship or loftiest pa-
triotism.
Upon his arrival In Albania the cita-
del of Croia was given into his hands
by the commandant, who was either
unsuspicious of the false order that
was sealed by the now dead hand of
the sultan’s secretary or who had
found that the wily Albanians had al-
ready access to its gates. Sfetigrade
and other prominent fortresses fell rap-
idly, won by strategy or by the valor-
ous assault of the patriots. The Al-
banians has been almost instantaneous-
ly transformed into an Invincible army
by the electric thrill which the coming
of Castriot had sent everywhere, from
the borders of Macedonia to the west-
ern sea, and by the skill with which
that great captain organized his bands
of Epirots and Dibrians. An army of
40,000 Turks was at one time divided
by his masterly movements and slain
In detail. A second army met a simi-
lar fate. The great sultan himself at-
tempted the capture of this Arnaout
“wild beast,” as he had learned to call
him. One hundred and fifty thousand
men, supplied from the far reaches of
Asia where the Ottoman made most of
his levies, swarmed like a plague of
locusts through the valley of Epirus.
By sheer momentum of numbers they
pressed their way up to the fortress of
Sfetigrade.
The defense of this place is one of
the most heroic in the annals of war
or patriotism. As the glacier melts at
the touch of the warm earth in the
Alpine valleys, so the mighty army of
Amurath dissolved in blood as it touch-
ed the beleaguered walls. At the same
time Scanderbeg, adopting some new
that raged around him. While in quiet
moments he was troubled with what he
heard against the Christian faith which
he had been taught in his mountain
home, at other times he was caught in
the tide of the general enthusiasm and
felt himself borne along with it, swirl-
ed around in the rings of the mad
maelstrom, not unwilling to yield him-
self to the excitement and yet by no
definite purpose committing himself
to it.
But the spiritual impulse in Michael
was less active than the martial in-
stinct, and this latter was stimulated
to the utmost by the associations of
every day and hour. The battles which
were fought on the great fields were
all refought in the vivid descriptions
of the janizary teabhers and sometimes
in the mimic re-encounters of the play-
ground. Michael rebelled against his
childish years which prevented his
joining some of the great expeditions
that were fitted out against the Greeks
of the Peloponnesus, the giaour lands
to the north and the Albanians, on the
west, who, under Scanderbeg, had be-
come the chief menace against the Ot-
toman power.

Grand Opera House.
For th'e third time in its history
“The Girl From Rector’s” has been
presented at the Grand, and last night
was the occasion of the third perform-
ance. George W. Paige in the role
of Professor Aubrey Maboon is the
only m'ember of the company deserv-
ing mention for his work. His comedy
is good. The rest of the performers
are hardly mediocre. It wouldn’t be a
good play in the hands of real artists.
A decided improvement over the re-
c’ent performance at the Grand was
the presence of ice water for the pat-
rons.
The next attraction at the Grand,
will be “Judy O’Hara,” which comes
tomorrow night with Aphie James in
the leading'role.
Ilwh
Nat C. Goodwin.
The Nat C. Goodwin engagement at
the Grand is the leading theatrical at-
traction now before local playgoers,
and as such is sure to attract much
attention, says an advance notice. “Th'e
Captain” will be presented Thursday
evening, Oct. 5th. “The Captain” is a
comedy on just those lines which seems
to fit the famous comedian like a
glove, and those who saw th'e per-
formance on the occasion of its former
presentation here two years ago will
well remember the pronouncedly funny
elements which go to make up the
plot. “The artistic temperament” is
handled without gloves and scene after
scene brings its quota of fun. "The
Captain” is a play in which Goodwin
shines to special advantage, and his
admirers h’ere will surely turn out In
force to enjoy his best comedy efforts.

The sultan hurried from bis retreat
and with marvelous celerity marshaled
the faithful against the invaders at
Varna. Victory hovered long between
the contending hosts, but at last rest-
ed with the Moslems. The victors
bore off upon spear points the heads of
Cardinal Julian and King Vladislaus,
while Hunyades fled in disgrace from
the.field.
It is not to be wondered at that such
an event, which led many whole com-
munities to renounce their alliance with
the Christian powers and many of the
chiefs of Bosnia and Servia to accept
the Moslem faith, should have rooted
that faith more deeply in the hearts of
those who already held it, A flame of
fanaticism ran throughout th© Moham-
medan world.
In the schools of the janizaries the
fanaticism was fed and fanned to a
flame of utmost intensity. The square
court within their barracks was trans-
servation of human duplicity while
among the Turks—and indeed by bis
own experience, as for many years he
had masked his own discontent and

estimating men which may be called a
moral clairvoyance. He discovered that

the story of Kabilovitsch, as the for-
ester Arnaud was still called, although
some more than suspected his identity.
The chief saw clearly that Amesa’s
loyalty would be limited by his selfish
Interests. Those interests now led him
to most faithful and apparently patriot-
ic devotion. Besides, the loss or aliena-
tion of so influential a young chief, in-
volving a schism in the house of the
Castriots, might be fatal to the Al-

Thrown From Saddle Horse, But Was
Not Badly Injured.
By Associated Press.
Oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct 3.—Mrs. Theo.
Roosevelt is confined to her house to-
day by injuries received Saturday aft-
ernoon when she was thrown from her
saddle horse. /
Mrs. R.oosevelt was riding with Col.
Roosevelt and their son Archie.
Mrs. Roosevelt’s mount rear’ed and
threw her. She struck heavily on her
head ’and shoulders. Her foot was
caught in the stirrup, but she was not
dragged, as the Colonel and Archie had
the horse by the head almost b’efore
it’s feet hit the ground. Mrs. Roose-
velt was taken home unconscious. She

Austin, Tex., Oct. 3.—Inquiries are
almost daily reaching the department
of agriculture from points in the north
and east asking if there is such an in-
stitution or department in Texas as a
State Bureau of Immigration. To all
of these inquiries the department re-
plies that ther> is no such bureau in
the state and furthermore that
constitution forbids making any
propriation for such a bureau.
The constitution was adopted in 1876
and the framers thereof apparently
thought it wise not to encourage im-
migrants to Texas, but now the times
have changed, and it would not be sur-
prising if an amendment is not pro-
posed at the next regular session of
the legeslature so as to provide that
money may be appropriated for such
purpose.
The organic law also inhabits the ap-
propriation of any money for the re-
presentation of the state at fairs, ex-
positions or other shows of this chara-
ter, and whenever Texas is to be so re-
presented it has to be done through
private enterprise. This is especially
the case wit^ the proposed representa-
tion of the state at the National Land
Shows to be held at Pittsburg, Chicago
and New York this fall. The organiza-
tion recently launched for this purpose,
known as the Texas Exhibit Associa-
tion, is said to be making considera-
ble headway in its efforts to raise $50,-
000 to have this state properly repre-
sented.

Moses Goleme and the other allied no-
bles in commending the refusal of their
chief.
Amesa’s courage and zeal seemed at
times to pass the control of his judg-
ment. Thus in a sharp battle with the
Turks during the temporary absence of
Castriot, who was resisting an en-
croachment of the Venetians on the
neighboring country of Montenegro, the
fiery young warrior was seized with
such blind ferocity that he knew-not
where he was. He had engaged a
group of his own countrymen, appar-
ently not discerning his mistake until
be had unhorsed one of them, whom he
was on the point of sabering, when his
arm was caught by a comrade. The
endangered man was Kabilovitsch, who
saw that there was a method in Ame-
sa’s madness which it behooved him to
note.
It was evident to Kabilovitsch not
only that he was recognized by Amesa,
but also that the young voivode was
more than suspicious of the former
forester’s knowledge of the affair by
which the magnificent estate of De
Streeses had passed into his hands.
The good man’s solicitude was intense
through fear that Amesa had become
aware of the escape of the child heir
and might discover some clew to her
whereabouts. Several times Milosch
had visited the camp inquiring for
Kabilovitsch, and Constantine had
made frequent journeys carrying tid-
ings of Morsinia’s welfare. Had nei-
ther of these been spied upon? Did
no one ever pass the little hamlet

built a new chamber connecting with
the central one. The three houses con-
tained altogether nearly a hundred
souls. The last of these dwellings was
of ampler proportions than the others
and was occupied by a branch of an
ancient family to which the inhabitants
of the other houses were all of kin.
By reason of its antiquity as well as
the comparative wealth of its occu-
pants It was regarded as the konak,
or village mansion, and the senior mem-
ber of its little community was recog-
nized as the stargeshina, or chief of the
village.
It was the latter part of April, the
day before that upon which from time
immemorial the peasants among these
mountains bad observed the festival
of St. George, which they devoted to
ceremonies commemorative of the
awakening summer life of the world.
It was still early in the afternoon,
though the high mountain wall on the
west had shut out the sun, whose
bright rays, however, still burning far
overhead, dropped their benediction of
roseate shadows into the valley they
were not permitted to enter.
A group of maidens gathered at the
little mill, each holding an earthen
bowl to catch the glistening spray drops
which danced from the edge of the
clumsy water wheel. When these were
filled they cast into the “witching wa-
ters” the early spring flowers, anem-
ones and violets and white coral ar-
butus, which they had picked during
the day. It was a pleasing superstition
that the water, having been beaten in-
to spray, received life from the flowers
which the renewed vitality of the
awakening spring spirit had pressed
up through the earth, and that, if one
should bathe in this on St. George’s
day, health and happiness would attend
him during the year.

CHAPTER XI.
UT of a broad valley through
which lies the chief highway
leading to the northwest of
Albania there opens a narrow
ravine which seems to end abruptly
against the precipitous front of a moun-
tain range. But, turning into this ra-
vine, one is surprised to find that it
winds sharply, following a swift
stream and climbing for many miles
through the mountain, until it sudden-
ly debouches into a picturesque val-
ley which affords grazing space for
sheep and enough arable land to sus-
tain the peasants who once dwelt there.
A hamlet nestled in this secluded
vale. No road led beyond it, and It
was approached only by the narrow
and tortuous path we have described.
A rude mill sentineled a line of three
houses. These dwellings, though sim-
ple in their construction,, were quite
commodious. A room of ample dimen-
sions was inclosed with walls of stone
and loam, supporting a conical roof of
thatch. On three sides of this room
and opening into It were smaller cham-
bers, having detached roofs of their
own. The central apartment was the
common gathering place for quite an
extensive community, consisting of a
family in three or four generations, for
each son upon marrying brought bls
wife to the paternal homestead and

and solid popularity of the Frank Dud-
ley stock company with the patrons
of the Crystal-Majestic theater was
n'eoessary, last night’s turn-’em-away
house was a pretty good sample.
Though this company is only in its
second week, Mr. Dudley and his dra-
matic cohorts have made themselves
established favorites by unusually
clever dramatic work—the sort that
appeals to the 'eye and the ear, and
every production so far has been han-
dled with the accuracy and distinct
carefulness that can only be expected
from good actors. Take “The New Do-
minion” that now holds the boards. It
was written by Mr. Clay Clements, one
of the best character actors on the
stage in his time, and has long been
accepted as a modern class of the
new South. Every character was drawn
with a view to being handled by ca-
pable actors. Since Mr. Clements’
death the delightful play has passed
into the possession of Mr. Frank Dud-
ley, and it has, if anything, improved
by repetition. Mr. Dudley is at least
equal to Mr. Clements in the leading
role, and as he is a compet’ent, care-
ful stage manager, he has drilled his
company with unusual care and put on
“The New Dominion” with the same
artistic skill and faithfulness as to
detail that has always made it a
popular favorite with theater-goers.
The pr’esent production of “The New
Dominion” will compare favorably
with Mr. Clements’ days at their best.
It is certainly worth going to see
again and it is to be hoped it will be
repeated again at length later on
during the company’s engagement. This
afternoon’s matinee and tomorrow’s
performance close the engagement of
“The New Dominion” and tomorrow
evening and for the balance of the
week th’e delightful romance of war
days in the Southland, “Piney Ridge,”
will be the feature.

A great many people besides the
Ubiquitous newspaper character who
tak’es refuge under the title of “Anx-
ious Inquirer” are asking to what pur-
pose the national government is un-
dertaking to “bust the trust.” When
the proposition of taking legal pro-
ceedings looking to a dissolution of
such combinations as were found to
be in restraint of trade was first
broached, the id'ea was hailed with
loud acclaim by the hundreds of thou-
sands of consumers who were led to
believe that such a proceeding,, backed
by the government, must surely break
up any trade agreement to maintain
the high prices of necessities and
would bring the figures to such a low
level that the man of moderate means
would be permitted the enjoyment of
a few once familiar comforts now
forming only a pleasant memory, but
something has evidently gone wrong
with the “busting,” or more prob-
ably with the calculations of the be-
fore alluded to man of moderate
“Judy O’Hara.”
One of the more important of th’e
new offerings for the current season
is Miss Aphie James, co-star with the
late Louis James, James Young, An-
drew Robson and Melbourne MacDow-
ell as associate stars in “Judy O’Hara,”
from the pen of Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett, of "Little Lord Fauntleroy”
sfame, in collaboration With Frederick
Arthur Stanley, which comes to the
Grand tomorrow night.
The story of “Judy O’Hara” relates
to the efforts of a numb'er of Irish
supporters of James Stuart to place
him upon the throne of England,'1 says
an advance natice. At the beginning
of the play Lady Judith O’Hara, the
only child of the impoverished Earl
of Clanfergus, is celebrating her nine-
teenth birthday. A young Irish no-
bleman, Sir Miles Prendergast, carry-
ing papers to the pretender of France,
comes to Clanfergus castle to hide.
He sees Judy and falls in love with
her immediately. She persuades him
to represent himself as an Irish lad
traveling through the country to find
work with a friend, and disguised as
a rustic Sir Miles makes his escape
to France. As the festivities end, a
messenger brings news of the death
of Judy’s uncle in India and that she
has fallen heir to his vast fortune. The
shock of the good news is too much
for her father, who dies, and the girl
is brought up by Lord Saxton, an
English nobleman. The rest of the
play is concerned with the intrigues
of Sir Miles, now masquerading as
Lord Saxton’s private secretary, and
Judy to bring back the pretender and
place him on the throne of the dying
queen. Incidentally th’e Irish girl
finds that she can be useful in carry-
ing messages for the Stuart and so
disguises herself in white as a high-
wayman and is soon talked about as
a ghost all through the countryside.
She meets James Stuart, who falls
in lov'e with her and plays fast and
loose with his chances for the king-
dom in his infatuation for 'the pretty
highwayman.

Over S. P. Using Capt. Bill McDonald
to Guard Strikebreakers.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 3.—It was ascer-
tained today that Gov. Colquitt strong-
ly resents the acion of representatives
of the Harriman lines in placing Capt.
Bill McDonald and other armed men
over the state to protect their prop-
erty. Just what action will be taken
in the matter has not been disclosed.
Labor Commissioner Starling said he
would enter protest also to Gov. Col-
quitt, as such action is a reflection on
the police of different cities, the state
rangers and the militia. It is pointed
out that in the case at Houston Sher-
iff Anderson is empowered to increase
his force, if need be, to protect prop-
erty of the railroads without the rail-
roads engaging an armed force to do
so.

Timpson Times.
Since stating in this column! the
other day that I intended writing
article on “Hypocrisy,” I have
visited by people anxious to furnish
me with the names, postoffice ad-
dresses, street numbers, etc. ,of the
hypocrites in this locality, together
with specific instances of their two-
facedness. Every fellow believes in a
burning hell—but he thinks it is an in-
stitution for other folks to go to. Ev-
ery fellow believes that morals should
be regulated—but it’s the other fel-
low’s morals. It’s the old story of the
mote and the beam. Unfortunately, we
have very little genuine brotherly love
one for another, and if everybody in
Timpson could know just exactly what
everybody else In Timpson is thinking
there would probably be still less of
that brotherly love. It is safe to say
that I am not' going to print any of
the names that _Jiave been furnished
me, because I am not very strong, and
most of the alleged hypocrites are big-
ger than I am.

consumer. Then there’s the sugar
trust: no combination has been more
bitterly assailed by th’e government
or made to pay heavier for its preda-
tory practices, but no sooner had the
government succeeded in collecting
fines and penalties assessed against
this conc'ern than the price of sugar
began to advance until that article
now takes rank with champagne, dia-
monds and other luxuries within the
reach of the millionaire only.
Then the cigar trust came in for its
session on the government rack. The
so-called trust was dissolved, but the
who had acquired the “two-for”
habit shortly after discovered that the
quality of his favorite smoke had de-
teriorated most markedly and the fel-
low whose limit had been one-for-a-
nickle was by sh'eer force of rankness
compelled to resort to a pipe and join
the Socialists. There are several oth-
er concerns that have received a lot of
free newspap'er advertising through
the prosecuting department of the gov-
ernment, but up to this good hour it
has failed to develop that the people
have been ben'efited directly by the op-
eration; in fact not a few consumers
but would choose the trust bondage of
yesterday rather than the enjoyment
of the high prices of today.
If the national governm'ent is mere-
ly “busting” trusts just to show these
combines that the government is able
to do so, or because they are in re-
straint of trade, or'.' from any other

era’, avowed that they saw it stealing
along the very brow of the hill, but all
agreed that it passed so swiftly that
they could not tell just what they saw.
“It was just so with the one I saw
today,” said, the former speaker. “I
was on the ledge by the old eagle’s nest
gathering my flowers. A tall being
passed below me on the path dressed
so beautifully that I know it was none
of us and had dealings with none of
us. It seemed anxious not to be seen,
for my little cry of surprise caused it
to vanish as if it melted into the foam
of the stream as it plunges into the
pool.”
“Let us go down to the pool,” pro-
posed one. “Maybe we can see it
again.!’
“No, no!” cried the others in a chorus
of tremulous voices.
“No, indeed,” said one of the larger
girls, “for it might be they are eating
or they are dancing the kolo, which
they always do as the sun goes down,
and if anybody sees them then they get
angry and will come to your house
and look at you with the evil eye.”
Hasting home with their bowls of
water crowned with flowers, they told
their story to the stargeshina.
The old man laughed at their credu-
lity.
“Girls always see strange things on
the eve of St. George.”
At the evening meal in the great
room of the first house the patriarch,
taking his cue from the story the girls
belonging to that household had told
of their imagined vision, repeated leg-
end after legend about those strange
beings that people the unknown cav-
erns in the mountains.
These stories were followed by songs,
the music of which was within a nar-
row range of notes and sung to the ac-
companiment of the gusle, a rude sort
of guitar with a single string. The
subjects of these songs and the ideas
they contained were as limited in their
range as the notes by which they were
rendered, such as the impossible ex-
ploits of heroes and improbable ro-
mances of love.
“Let Constantine take the gusle and
sing us the song about the peasant
maid who conquered the heart of the
king,” said the stargeshina.
“Constantine is not here,” replied a
clear and sweet but commanding sort
of voice. “He went out as it began
to darken --ied.”

It is still fresh in the memory of
many of us that the m’eat packers of
the country were indicted for not be-
having themselves according to law
and at that time there wps much re-
joicing over the prospect of beefsteaks
again becoming acquainted with the

TIME WASTED.
Bastrop Advertiser.
It is little use for the editor to waste
his lungs and sprain his spine in try-
ing to boom a town when the citizens
all stand around with their hands in
their pockets and indifferently wait
for something to turn up. If tne cap-
italists or business men do not put
their shoulders to the wheel and do a
little boosting it is useless for the ed-
itor to try and boom things. He can
write “boom” articles till he gets bald-
headed, but if the citizens themselves
do not take hold and push, the town
will forever stick in the mud. Of
what use is it for the local paper to
suggest improvements and new enter-
prises if the suggestions
acted upon? One man cannot boom a
town. It requires the concerted action
of the citizens. When one man shoul-
ders a town and attempts to carry it
there are always a lot of cranky kick-
ready to jump on. top of the load,
of action is what knocks.
