Miss Rose Lambert, who for eleven •ad a half yeaia labored in Turkey as • missionary, and who was there at the time of the horrible massacre of the Armenians by the Turks last year, and whose heaitn was so Impaired by the hardships undergone during that time, that She was forced to return home for a short time, was in this city a short while ttrts morning on her way to her home at Elkhart. Miss Lambert has been attending the conference at the Beery Church west of this city, and, spoke Wednesday 'evening on her experiences while in Turkey. A reporter for this paper enjoyed a talk with Miss Lambert this morning, while she was waiting for her car, and was much impressed with her earnestness apd the great zeal of Christian spirit that sends them forth to endure hardships for the Master’s cause, as has this lady. Miss Lambert had her headquarters at Hadjln, Turkey, while between 20,000 and 30,000 Armenians In the surrounding towns and villages th the province were massacred by the Turks last year, and in some instances nearly every Inhabitant in the villages slain. Hadjln was successful In keeping the besiegers at bay two weeks. The Turkish towns are nearly all surrounded by walls, but Hadjln, which is in the midst of the mountains, had felt secure without, in the stronghold of the mountains, and had not taken this precaution. The Turks, however, scaled the mountains, as though they were smooth tables, and ran down in thousands on the Hadjins, who kept them at bay two weeks, under constant firing. While Hadjin escaped with less serious results than the surrounding towns, it was found after the siege that 1,1,00 children had been made orphans and 1,043 women, widows. Henry Maurer of Elkhart, a missionary there, was killed as was Rev. Rogers of the eastern part of the United States. After the massacre Miss Lambert became weakened Aby the terrible strain and ordeal she had undergone, falling ill with typhoid and malaria fever, and her health was so seriously impaired that she was obliged to return to her home last April until she could recover. Miss Lambert’s sister, Miss Nora May, is a missionary at Hadjin, Turkey, now, she having gone there three months after the massacre. The missionary circle at Hadjin includes ten missionaries. Miss Lambert went from here to Fort Wayne where she will speak at the Bible training school this evening, and will then go to Elkhart. While here she was a guest at the J. T. Baker home west of the city.

Hawley and Augustus Post, than the fact that they have established a new world’s record for distance traveled —1,335 miles—or that they had won the International trophy.

Monroe will probably give Decatur another chance soon. The score was 21 to 9.

Three years ago Mr. weaver enlisted in the regular army, at Fort Wayne. After nearly two years’ service in this country he was sent with his regiment to the Philippine Islands, where he served thirteen months. He was located on one of the southern islands, where fevers are plentiful, and where living is hardly worth the while. He left Manila six weeks ago was twentyeight days on the water, and was discharged at Angel’s Island, near SanFrancisco, October 21st, reaching Fort Wayne yesterday. When asked if he expected to return, he smiled broadly and said, “Oh, nd.” His brother, D. M. Weaver, still has seven months to serve, having enlisted some time after A. J. Mr. Weaver said he enjoyed the experience while in the United States, but didn’t care much about the foreign service. x

The entire right side is affected and he is unable to talk or swallow, and as his condition is very critical, no callers are allowed to see him. Mr. Kennedy is certainly having more than his sharp of the ills of life, as he has been ailing for the past two years or more. During this time he suffered an affection of the lower limbs, blood poisoning and gangrene resulting, and an operation for the removal of a.toe was necessary.

- - . . , W ( - Indianapolis, Ind., Oct 27—(Special to Dally Democrat)—.William Dudley Foulke has declined to surrender the stenographic report of Senator Beveridge speech at Richmond. He has written that the offer of ,$25 for charity, made by the democratic county chairman, Charles B. Beck, is too small. Therefore, Mr. Beck has doubled' the amount and is now offering to give SSO t® the Reid Memorial hospital in Richmond, or to any other charity that may be designated, if Mr. Foulke will furnish him a stenographic copy of the senator’s Richmond speech. It is the general opinion of Richmond people that Mr. Foulke will not accept the offer. In his refusal of the $25 offer, he. said that 3,000 Richmond people heard the speech, and that therefore, it was not necessary to print it again. Chairman Beck is perfectly satisfied with the situation in Richmond but he would like to have tte people of Indiana read what , the senator said there just after Roosevelt had refused to speak and had sulked off into New York to defend Senator Lodge. ■ Chairman Beck’s letter to Mr. Foulke follows: “Hon. W. D. Foulke, Editor Evening Item: Tear Sir:—l am In receipt of your belated reply to my request for an authorized copy of Senator Beveridge’s recent speech at the coliseum. It is doubtless a gem of wit and sarcasm, but it shows a lack of frankness, and considerable bad temper. “If your charge was sincere, that my request was not in good faith, but was 'for the consumption of the credulous,’ the best answer would have been to furnish me what I ’pretended’ to want, but did not. That would not have only been the fair and manly course on your part, but it would have 'called my bluff;’ it would have defeated my supposed misrepresents tion of Beveridge on the part of myself, or those 'certain democrats’ you refer to. \ “But how cotaid a tfoe copy of the speech of the 'foaming Beveridge’ promote 'the hatching of a scheme to defame* that' gentleman by charges that you ‘knew to be false’ (in advance!), if the speech itself were what It should have been. How could your consent to the publication of all the speech, instead of certain selected parts which appeared in your paper, be regarded by you as ‘furnlnshlng aid in such an attempt’ to defame him, if the speech as a whole was all right? You did publish a part of It—certainly not on the theory that it was defamatory of the speaker. Did you beleave that Beveridge had defamed himself? Did you thus attempt to deceive the public as to what he did say?. Were you in the scheme-hatching business? And Is your display of temper because Vour deception has been exposed by the simple request for the whole speech? "There Is an old saying that *half a truth Is often the greatest lie.’ Were you guilty of that sort of a lapse In this case? Your persistent suppression of the whole truth, and your admission that its publication would aid your political opponents, certainly warrants this suspicion. “Between two evils sensible people cbopse the lesser. And the public will conclude that the Beveridge speech as a whole must have been pretty bad to Justify the acceptance of this humiliating attitude on your part, as the lesser evil of the two! “If you are satisfied with the situa- | tion, I certainly shall not complain, 1 howe»« much I .hall wonder el the I 1 ~4 deMdo.o. ot . pror«.loMl Mrwb. r First

"An early reply will oblige. < •' “Your very truly, . “O. B. Beck. “Richmond, Ind., Oct. 24, 1910.” • ~ , .o , Last Sabbath, October 28rd, about eighty of the friends and relatives of Uncle George H. Marts gathered at his home in Monroe township, two miles southeast of Monroe, to participate In a genuine old-fashioned surprise party in his honor, it being his seventy-second birthday anniversary, and to say that Uncle Georgejwas surprised would be putting it mldly. He was simply overwhelmed. He was’ sent In the forenoon to Decatur to meet his son-in-law, Orden Parrish, who Is working In Fort Wiyne, and when they arrived at home'at 11:30, Uncle George found the house filled wlthhis neighbors and relatives and his first Words were, “What does all this mean?” At noon the word was given and all partook of a sumptuous dinner, which was' prepared and brought by those participating. It is needless to say \that all did ample justice to the many good things provided. There were cakes and pies galore, and other good things in proportion. After all had feasted to their heart’s content, the afternoon was spent In social chat and telling of oldtime stories by the older ones, and in sports by the younger element. At a late hour the several guests departed for their several homes, thinking it was good to have been there and wishing Unde George many more such happy occasions. Those present were James E.

Warner.' While Mt., Warner was in attendance at the church services relatives, gathered at the home and brought good things with them to eat. On Mr. Warner’s return home he was completely surprised to find a house full of people, who had gathered to remind him that he was passing his twenty-seventh birthday anniversary.

The children of Mrs. Battenberg, as well as a number of other relatives, were present, and a very good family reunion held, with a turkey dinner at noon.

Convent Bells —Bollman—Lean Hensley. « Silvery Echoes—Woods—Veda Hensley.' Credit was given to Leona Bosse, Marie Connel, Marcella Kuebler and ? Emma Kinney for their good expression. The most difficult piece was the Palms, rendered by Esther Evans. The time and fingering of all were very good considering the short time of the reopening of the clqss, September, 1910. We all look to a promising future, providing we are ; upheld by the aid of their kind parents to encourage the pupils to practlce diligently. The junior pupils belonging to these grades who were ab- ; sent Thursday evening should try to J be present at the next recital;. ' J# English, Ind., Oct. 28—(Special to 3 Dally Democrat)—Senator Beveridge,, was attacked for his alleged' support of the lumber tariff by John W. Kern when he addressed one of the largest gatherings ever held here, in a poiitical speech this morning. Conservation of the earning power of the people today rather than the conservation of the resources from the pie tomorrow, and a severe attack oh the big trusts, especially the meat combine for fixing the retail price of bacon at forty cents and the market price at much less, when It can be purchased from farmers and stock men at from ten to fifteen cents per pound less than the packers figures, were scored unmercifully. - t Indianapolis, Ind., Oci. 28—(Special to Dally Democrat)—lt has been trying hard to snow here today and reports from all over the north and east part of the state say that the first flakes of he season have fallen todayJW The weather man here says, however, that there will be nothing serious in the snow line at this time.
