For aeons it has been the privilege of the janitor to run his caves as he jolly well pleased, but the Foss family has estab lished a precedent. A few nights ago the daughter of the 1 house went to a dance with her best 1 young man, and upon reaching the floor ' where the Foss flat is situate, lying and being, the pair paused a moment to give vent to those sweet nothings that kept Romeo and Juliet up night*. ' The West Indian lift boy grew im patient because, as every’ one who comes in late knows, even night lift boys sleep. He ran the lift to the floor Where the young couple stood saying good-night, and in dulcet Demerar;? tones said: "Going down.” The couple lingered, and pretty soon ’ up came the lift with the superintend -1 ent as a passenger. He said things. Mr. Foss arose early and the story was repeated to him. He summoned the superintendent on the phone, and ' when that functionary left the Foss flat ' he presented a far different facial ap pearance. According to Roemer, the whole Foss family—Joseph, the head of the house: Charles and Samuel, his sons, and Albert Salisbury, a son-in-law - had pre-emptied his prerogatives. Mag i istrate Kortel held them in $5,00 bail 1 each.

CONSTANTINOPLE,* Nov. 30.—A tentative peace arrangement between Turkey and the Balkan alli-s has been reached. The Turks armistice arrang ed by the plenipotentiaries and which will be sigend within 48 hours, accord ing to an official announcement, has been brought about to pave the way for peace terms. The new armistice will be general and will bring about a cessation of hostilities throughout European Tur key. Final peace negotiations will be car ried on upon the same basis as that of the armistice. The conclusion of the general armis tice will, it is believed, have a salu tory effect upon th-- European situa tion. Terms Please Turks. Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha, acting for the council of ministers, rnnounced the armistice, but he did not reveal th. terms. He intimated, however, that they were much letter than the original terms imposed by Bulgarin upon Turkey. Aside front the question of territo rial rights, one of the chief provisions relates to the military forces. Neither side will reinforce its armies at the front so that tlte present positions will be held by the belligerents during the forthcoming negotiations. Osman Nizami Pasha, Turkish am bassador to Germany, who arrived at tiie zone of the negotiations yesterday, cast the deciding vote for Turkey In tiie parley. I’pon Ills recommendation Turkey accepted the modified condi tions of Czar Ferdinand’s envoys. Adrianople a Factor. The capture of two divisions of Turk ish reserves of 38,000 men. who were on their way to succor Adrianople, is believed to have been a strong force in bringing about the suspension of hos tilities. That Turkey would hasten tiie peace negotiations before conditions in Ad rianople makes tiie surrender of that Turkish stronghold Imperative, is the opinion among foreign diplomats here. Turkey desires to retain Adrianople as ti Tmkish province, but this demand would never lie countenanced by Bul igaria ami the other allies if the city fell b< for. a treaty was signed, it is believed here.

There is a real fight on for the post mastership- of Gainesville, and the prospect now Is that Mrs, Helen Dortch * Longstreet, the incumbent, will have give way within the next few day* to James B. Gaston, a Republican. Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, who speaks by the card for the president in these matters, is understood tb be op posed to Mrs. Longstreet remaining in charge of the Gainesville office after her present commission runs out, and as it expires on December 7, those who keep tab on such things are looking for a change within the next two or three days. In ordinary circumstances. It seems that it Is Mr. Taft’s policy to rename postmasters whose commissions are -to expire before the end his term, but the fight against Mrs. Longstreet has gone to the point where trie office likely will be given to another, even if that other himself is removed within the next few months. It will be remembered that Mrs. ( Longstreet identified herself very em- |l phatically with the Roosevelt move- • ment in Georgia. She occupied a seat on the stage at the Auditorium-Armory as an especial guest of honor at the big Bull Moose rally in Atlanta, and was one of Georgia’s accredited repre sentatives to tiie Roosevelt Chicago , convention. "Perniciously Active.” Technically, the charge upon w’hich Mrs. Longstreet is to be put out is the ancient and always handy "pernicious political activity in office.” She holds her present commission over President Roosevelt’s signature « James B. Gaston, who is slated for ’ Mrs. Longstreet’s position, is a Repub- J lic.in and Is extremely popular in Hall county ami northeast Georgia. He will be acceptable to Gainesville, so it is .. said, to the entire extent that other Republican would. It is m-lM thought that lie will be permitted to hold the office a full term, however. 3
