TWLM'V-l'lHST W. C.T.U. CONVENTION

About 500 Doh'FTatttfl Attend—An KloAiidrcstt by Miflo Wlllimi— Ofllctti'H MiiU« Kiiponr. fitting ltf'pnrtfl.

Ci-KVKLAND, Nov. 17.—The twoutyfirst annual convention of the National Women's Christian Tompernnee union met here Friday at Music hall. KopreKcntattvo women ore present from every state nud territory and from Cunrtria. There were probably 500 delegates present and the hull was well filled with spectators, with the exception of the upper ffnllerv.

Ml** IMard'n Addnvnn.

Interest in, the opening session centered 111 the address of President I'VunceH E. Willard, who nbly reviewed the whole field of thought and action for women. Mitss Willard reviewed the spread of the prohibition propaganda throughout the states of the union and in England, Canada and New Zealand, aud the power which the ballot in the hands of women had brought to the cause, felie referred to the broader opportunities which the world now offered women and recalled the fact that while forty years ago there were but seven employments open to women, hardly seven now are closed to ihi'in. Tlie exhibition of woman's form, whether real or pictured, before audiences of immoral men was denounced, ami the good worlc of the union in bringing* about Its supprestion was commended.

Hujulcf* Over Tammany's Overthrow.

The defeat of lireckinridge in Kentucky and the overthrow of Tammany in New York city were referred to by the eloquent temperance leader as victories for women. She demanded equal standards of social purity for men and women and denounced lynching at any time and any place, and whether tlie person lynched be black, brown or white she believed his taking olT to be a crime against God. l'ullmun Strike.

Referring to the demand for compulsory arbitration resulting from the "Pullman strike, Miss Willard said that if the call were heeded the strike would be worth more to the country financially and ever}* other way than it had cost. Women, she eaid, should be on all the boards of arbitration and conciliation. She favored thc^ establishing of industrial homes for victims of the alcohol habit, and urged upon every state W. C. T. to petition the legislature for appropriations for this purpose.

Di-Hth of Mrs. Wooilbrldge ltefcrred To.

The address scintillated with bright thoughts and sayings. Miss Willard referred feelingly to the death of Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge, of Chicago, corresponding' secretary of the society, and to the loss of other good workers in the cause during the last year. She dwelt upon the work of women as the unique feature in the recent elections, and said that in Illinois the women had voted by tens of thousands. The presence of women at the polls, she said, had led to a larger vote by the men and had secured the best order ever known at elections.

Kt-porttf of the Ofllolul..

The annual report of Mrs. Helen M. Barker, treasurer, showed receipts: Dues, S14,704.99 other contributions, 811.S14.20. Total, 82(3,016.25. Disbursements, S20,33S.07. Balance in treasury, So.OH. 18. There are no outstanding bills. The receipts of the year were in excess of several previous years, and the dues showed an increase in paid-up memberships over last year. This was most encouraging in view of the limuicin! stress of the year. Besides the receipts shown by the treasurer's books assets to the amount of 88,800 had been donated ill interest-bearing notes and stocks, but as they had not been converted into cash, had not entered into the account.

Mrs. WooiIbrlilgo'H Krport.

The annual report of the late Mrs. Man- Ti. Wocidbridge, who was for many years corresponding secretary, ami which she had prepared prior to her sudden illness and death, and which was read by Mrs. L. M. N. fcjtevons, set forth that the organization had over 1,000,000 on members on its rolls and is organized in forty-eight nil lions.

At the afternoon session the convention discussed the relations of health and heredity and sanitary and economic cookery to the battle against intemperance, and reports were made from each of the departments of the educational group concerning the growth of total abstinence habits and sentiments.

KVUIIUIK Seftninn.

The evening session was devoted to addresses of welcome and responses. On behalf of the federated unions of this city, Mrs. S. M. Perkins, one of the veterans in Christian temperance work in Ohio, delivered on address of welcome that was a model of lofty sentiment and fine English. Mayor illee welcomed the delegates and visitors to the oitv and earnestly invited them to hold their Convention licie next year. On behalf of llio Ohio W. C. T. U. Mrs. II. L. Monroe, president of the state organization, welcomed the delegates to the Buckeye state. Responses were delivered by Mrs. Mary Burt, president of the New Yor organization Airs Emma A.

Cn.'ts weekly review ol trade says: "In nearly all brnncliefc of bnslno^ Krartual Improvement uppeurs, ami the hopeful fueling observed lust week has continued. Thou it. was also noted that the main conditions of business and trade had not suddenly changed, and this becomes clearer, to the disappointment of some. Low farm products, low wages and only partial employment of labor still retard dihtribution, and tho limited demand hinders the recovery of industries. ProsiT** toward recovery has not ceased, and many establishments have resumed or added to On.-ir producing force, some also advancing wages, but it will take time to lift business out of its depression, and the progress made, if lcsg tlr.in tho sanguine expectcd, is at least encouraging. The decision to offer *60.000,000 bonds for replenishment of the treasury reserve whs. by bankers, generally approved, but events ury showing that restoration of coryidence cannot by itself remove all embarrassment.

Exports of breadstuffs. cotton, provisions and oil lu October were {&7,uu0.3fl7. against $58,828,035 last year, although 1.00'),000 bales ol cotton went abroad, and the value of tho same quantities export'.- this year would have exceeded $70,000,00» ot l3^t year's prices, the difference in prices alone 1-elng *10.MO.«*i in cotton and $2,400,000 In breadstufTs. ••Failures in the llrst week of November were rather larger than of late, liiibilit ies amounting to of which ?712. 4^0 wore of manufacturing and $2,OSQ.077 of trading concerns.

Bradstreet says: "Perhaps the most conspicuous favor..ble feature of the general trade situation tv.-ound In numerous reports from merclmriis and manufacturers throughout the .."country of a disposition to regard the business outlook more encouragingly and with increased conlldence in an early improvement in trade. Even in many portions of the south and southwest advices from the interior are ift:u the country merchant is doing tin Increased volume of business, based on favorable .Mouther and large crops. This is the more striking in view of continued report* of the unfavorable effect on trade south of the low prL-e of cotton. "It Is generally assumed thai the offered bonds will be t:iken at once Tho ufteut is ies* easy to anticipate, for the formal announcement that, after a general reconstruction ol the revenue laws, it Is still found necessary to borrow largely, tend* to ral*j doubt about financial provisions for the future The reported importation of gold trom London, with a loss on Its face of $7,600 at pre ent excliaugu rates, is presumably meant to affect' bond subscriptions. There have already been some withdrawals of gold from tho treasury by redemption of notes to make payments for bonds, and goo Js. rather than gold are likely to come from Europe '•The favorable cha.ige In the movement of prices last week also continues, with higher quotations for butter, eggs and hides wheat higher, sugar, corn, oats. lard, pork and coffee higher. Cotton remains unchanged, but leather, some grades of Iron priut cloths and wool and lumber at eastern markets are nil firmer. The more not ceable declines In quotations are In a shaded price for Bessemer pU iron and for live cattie and bogs at western markets where receipts of low grades have been free. Leaders In the wool tr-de say pricos for that coinmodi'y have reached their lowtsat figure and that the Increased demand since election points to an advuuee. although as yet domestic fleeces feel the competition of Australian. The Improvement in deniaud for and distribution of dry goodB has been sufficient to stimulate discussion of higher prices."

A FINISHED LIFE.

Bach Wng the Career of Dr. Jtune» MoCosh, of Princeton Unlver«lty. PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 17.—At 10

o'clock Friday night ex-Prebident MoCosh, of Princeton university, breathed liis last. His death, which bus been expected for several days, was peaceful and calm. The announcement was made by the tolling- of the college bell. [The noble life of ex-President James Mc« Cosh, of Princeton university. Is varied and interesting. He was born April 1, IS10, in Ayrshire Scotland. His early years were spent on his fathers farm. In 1524 he entered the preparatory class at Glasgow university. Although maintaining the honorable rank, he did not surpass the leading student*, ana leftolas• gow without a professor or a student imagining that he would ever reach distinction. In the fftll of lbliO. he went to Edinburgh where he pursued a divinity course for live years. After being in Edinburgh but a short time he rose to the front rank In scholarship and influence among the students. He was interested deeply in the then new soience of geology.

In 1884 he was licensed to preach, but a member of the presbytery was appointed to advi&t him to muke his preaching less abstract and more popular. During his career in the ministry he was Instrumental In establishing the free church of Scotland. His first book, entitled "Method of Divine Government," \saj« published In 1850. His reputation was at once established as a writer and thinker. In 1852 he was installed an professor of logic :,nd metaphysics at Queens coll»ge at beJfast Here he devoted himself to research in philosophical fields until ISO:* and took active pari In the philosophical battles of the time.

In May, 1808. he received a dispatch informing him of his election to the presidency ol Princeton college. In his reply he suld: "I devote my remaining life under God to old Princeton and the religious and literary luterests with which it is idcutiiied, and, I fancy, will leave my bones in youi graveyard beside the great and good men whe are buried there." On the siOth of October ol the same year he arrived ut New York, i-e was met on his arrival ut Princeton by the studr nts with enthusiastic demonstrations, and throughout his long presidency of twenty years he was deeply loved and respected by the many students who came and went away after four years under the healthful Influence's of the venerable and kindly president.

In 1888 Dr. McCosh resigned, owing to Infirmity of age, and has lived for the remaining years of his long life in a quiet, uneventful wny at his home on Prospect avenue, the object of love and veneration of the lollege nwhich he has devoted so much of his life ol activity and usefulness.}

No Quarter 1* Miown to Men, \\om«u or lilldf rn Kuril Soldier Ordered to KIM Ono Hundred

I'crtmtiH,

LONDON, Nov. 17.--The chairman of the Armenian Futriotic association, ti Jingopian, lias sent the following letter received from an Armenian, whose name is not given because it would jeopardize his life, to the earl of Kimberly, the secretary of state for foreign affairs. The letter is dated October U. it says: "The Ko-called rebclltou of tho A-nn'-uluns in I8i»3 was got-up affair, for the repression of which the chief magnate got a decoration This year the Kurds carried off Armenian oxen and tho Armenian*' appeal for their restoration w,.a refused. A tight ensued. Two Kurds were killed and ihroe were wounded "Tho Kurds Immediately curried their dead before the governor, declaring the Armeniau soldier* had overrun the land, killing .oid plundering the Kurds, This furnished a pretext for mussing the troops from far and near. The troops wete commanded by pasha and a marshal and were hurried to the district. The pasha is said to have hung from his breast, after reading it to his soldiers, an onvv from Oonstuntinop to cut the Armenians up root and branch and adjuring them to do so if they loved their king and government. "Nearly all these things wore related here and there by soldiers who took part lu the horrible carnage. Some of them weeping claim the Kurds did more, and declare they only obeyed the orders of others. It is said that loO fell to each of them to dispose of. No compassion was shown to age or sex even by the regular soldiery, uot even when the victims fell suppliant at their feet.

N\ometi and ISH)JCH Are Sluughtered. Six to ten thousand persons met such a fate as even the darkest ages of darkest Africa hardly witness, for there women and tender babes might at least have had a chance of a life of slavery, while here womanhood and Innocence were but a mockery before the cruel lust that ended its debauch by stabbing women to death with the bayonet while tender babes were impaled with the same weapon on tholr doad mother's breasts or perhaps seized by the h:dr to have their heads lopped off with the sword. "In one pluee o00 or ion women, after being forced to serve viie purposes by the merciless oidiery, were hacked to p.eces by sword and bayonet in the volley below. Jn another place some 200 weeping and wailing women begged for compassion, falling at the ron.raauder\s reet, but the bloodthirsty wretch, after ordering their violation, directed his soldiers to dispatch them in a similar way. liefuscd to K'iiun-o Their Fulth.

At another place htilla large company under the lead of their prkst fell down hefore the commander, begging for compassion and averring thai ihcv had nothing to do with the culprits. Hut to no purpose. All were called to another place and the proposal was made to several of the most attractive women to change their faith, in which euse their lives were to be-spared. They said: .'Why should we deny Christ- We are uo more than these.' pointing to the uiyngled forms of their husbands and brothers kill us, too.' and they did so. ••liut why proloug the sickening taleV There must be a God In Heaven who will do right In all these matters or some of us would lose fulth. "'One or more consuls have been ordered that wny to Investigate the matter. If the Christians instead of the Turks reported these things in the city of liiiiis and ihe region where 1 have been touring the case would be different. Hut now we are compelled to believe it. The magnates are having papers circulated. and are trying to compel thy Christians to sign them, expressing satisfaction that justice has been dealt to the rebels, and thanidng the king anil chief magnate himself. The Christians nf Xiitlls will not sign." -Many \Ulag»'« lest roved.

Another letter says that some of the regular soldiers themselves admit that they killed 1( 0 persons each in a fiendish manner, and that violation of women was followed by the bayonet. Twenty or thirty Armenian villages, it would seem, have been wholly destroyed and some persons were burned to death with kerosene in their own houses.

Despite the Turkish government's silence facts have oozed out which leave no doubt a massacre of Christians has occurred on as important a scale as the butchery at Batak, Bulgaria, which ?.ent thrill of horror through the civilized world.

CONSTANTINOPLE NOV. 17.—The following ollicial account of the Armenian troubles was issued Friday: "Some Armenian brigands, provided with arms ot foreign origin.

As an Instance of ihf ferocity of tho Armenians It is reported that they burned alive a mus'iulman nobleman. Regular troops wore sent to the s«.eiic to protect peaceable Inhabitants against these depredations. The Ottoman troops not only protected and respected 1 he submissive portion of the population ond tho women and children but they reestablished order un1 tranquility.

In other places tin* sand is drifted as the snows drift when whirled by the winds. Many stocks of goods in this place as well as in other towns are coveted with the effects of this storm. In some cases thousands of dollars would not pay the damage.
