A .Master llnlliler Thinks Them lletter than the Apprentice System. lialtimcre American. At the meeting of the Master House and Sign Painters Association, hold last night at the Builders' Exchange, Mr. John It. Convry read an exhaustive paper on "Trade Schools and the Apprenticeship System." He alluded to the need of men to till the places of first-class mechanics, owing to the fact that iraster mechanics in this ajte of bustle and hurry will not take the necessary time to give instructiens to apprentices, "if th American bnys are to. have fair play In the future." said he, "they must look to the trade schools That is the remedy for the trouble. The aj. prentice methods of the bygone days, with the r good iruits, are a memory only. In this period of electricity and wonderful invention is !t not reasonable to suppose that we can find a more valuable substitute for the apprenticeship system of the time that has passed, that had Its evils and troubles, as well as for the boys, who, for their early years, did everything except work at the trades they were put at? These pastimes were usually relieved in monotony by such diversions as helping in the family wash and nursing some of the numerous babies that belonged to their employers. The nly actual pleasure they enjoyed was when they got a chance to take their plte out on the infants by pounding them." A Summing up the difficulties which surround the training of apprentices. Mr. ('onvery said it was a physical impossibility for the masters to properly educate their apprentices. Continuing, lie said: "Trade in days long pant ran vn narrow guage tracks. The master bad ample time to act as teacher, but our proud-spirited boys of America would tiot know how t take the petty tyranny that the indentured apprentice of old had to .nit up with." Of the methods of teacnlng to be pursued. Mr. Convery Slid: "In the trade schools there could be exercised methods for touching based on an era of prore, and I am -ertain that any points of value to the student woill be gladly accepted by the officers of these institutions, the life of which tvoull be greatly prolonged by the susrost'on, and advice of the various master mechanic?. There, must be no sentiment in the trade- schools. The practical tutor must warn the ncholir If. In hi opinion and calm judgment, he shows no predilection far the tasks to which he is put. It has been my experience thtt many boys adopt a tra le through a mere whim. thus, after a while, tiring of it when it is too late u turn back to that for which they were best fittel." Mr. Convery explained that one of the important advantanes of the trade school was that opportunity was afforded for starting hoys In the trade f r which they show the most aptitule a result which cannot b? nttalnel under the apprenticeship system, ile did not think there was good eaue for the often xpresed fear that the traJe schools would turn oui too m.iny mechanics, and thus drive other men cut of employment. Ile thought the condition of affairs in this respect could not be mads much worse than it Is now. when, under the apprenticeship system, where there is no capacity to properly educate half-trained mechanics are constantly belnsr turnel out. He spoke of the excellent work belntj done by the Polytechnic Institute of this city, and said that parents falle I to appreciate the value of a trade to their rons. Tne tendency, he said, was to educate them for doctors or lawyers, where more difficult! would beset their getting a start in life than it they became first-class mechanics.

TOTAL IRON OUTPUT

SMALL INCKKASK IX TI1K l.MTED STATES OVEIt LAST YEAR. Teheran Minister Writes of 3llssionury School Commencements Cireshaui nntl III 1 1 Improving. WASHINGTON, May 19. Mr. John Rerkenbine, the Iron ore expert of Philadelphia, has prepared for the division of mineral resources of the United States geological survey an exhaustive report of the Iron ore resources of the world. In which the production of the world of iron ore In 1893 Is estimated at about S2.5!0.000 long tons. The portion of this report relating to the United States shows that the total production of iron ore in this country in 1S91 was 11,879.679 long tons of 2.210 pounds, as compared with 11,087,623 long tons in 1&D3. This is an increase of about Z1, per cent. This production Is only 73 per cent, of the maximum production of the United States, namely, 16.296,666 long tons, which was the output in 1892, but Is slightly greater than that of 189:5, the proportion in that year being 71 per cent, of 1892. showing a remarkable falling off. This falling off Is further shown by the statement that the average production for the years 1&S9 to 192, inclusive, was 13..W.4S2 long tons, while for the last two years it has been but 11.733,651 long tons, a difference of 3,626.828 tons. Of the classes of Iron ore mined tho red hematite continues to be the leading variety, being about 79 per cent, of the total product, brown hematite, magnetic and carbonate following in the order named, the last being only about threefourths of 1 per cent, of the total product. The number of blast furnaces in operation also shows an increase over 1S93. The number in blast at the close of 1893 was 117; at tho close of 1891 185. Twenty-four States produced iron ore In 1894, ranging in amount from 4.419.074 tons In Michigan to 7.913 tons from Maryland. Most of the increase noted above in production was in the Lake Superior region, Minnesota showing the greatest increase, from 1.499,927 tons in 1893. to 2.568,453 tons in 1891, ranking second among the iron-producing States, while In 1893 she was third. Michigan continues to be the largest producer, holding this rank for six years. Alabama has fallen from second place in 1893 to third in 1894; Virginia has also improved her standing, rising from fifth in 1893 to seventh in 1894. while Pennsylvania has fallen from fourth in 1893 to fifth in 1894. In spite of the Increase In production noted tho total value of the product was about $13,577,325. or $1.14 a ton. as compared with J19.2C5.973. or $1.66 a ton in 1893. Michigan also leads the country in the value of her iron ores; In 1894 they were worth $5,841,955. while Texas foots the list with a value of $11,521. The value of Maryland's ouput in 1894 was $17,899. C03IE.CEMKT IX TEIIERAX. Interesting Communication from Minister McDonald. WASHINGTON, May 19.-In a dispatch to the State Department from Teheran. April 19. 1895. Minister McDonald gives an Interesting account of the work of the American missionary schools in that city. He states that he had the pleasure, by special invitation, on the 9th of April of attending the commencement exercises of the school for boys of the American mission for Teheran, of which Rev. S. Lawrence Ward Is principal. The exercises took place in the American church, which was filled with an assemblage of both natives and foreigners. Mr. McDonald occupied a seat on the platform, and a representative of the Shah's college was present and made a brief speech of commendation of the school. The Kcvs. Potter and Esselstyn also took part in the proceedings. "The exercises." . said Mr. McDonald, "were such as take place at an American school of high grade. Speeches In four languages were made by the seven honor graduates, namely, in Persian. Armenian, FYench and English. The young men spoke with perfect ease and fluency. The branches taught in the school are the languages already named, with Arabic and Hebrew added, arithmetic (Persian and European-), algebra, bookkeeping, geography, general history, etc. There are over one hundred students and nine teachers. Some of. the pupils are also assisted in their living expenses." There were twenty-two graduates. The school. In Mr. McDonald's opinion, is doing much good, and he described it as being "not the least of the praiseworthy works carried on by the disinterested Americans in Teheran." The Shah has visited it and commended it in person. A girl's school conducted in like manner is regarded by Mr. McDonald as being equahy worthy of praise. In it the pupils receive board and lodging, either free or at nominal rates, and the "excellent ladies in charge are devoting tnemselves nobly to a laudable work. Girls are sent out by them every year fit to support themselves or to become ornaments of society." Minister McDonald also makes mention of the American hospital, in charge of Dr. J. G. WI?hard. which he says is a splendid charity In high favor with both government and people. The hospital has likewise receive i the commendations of the Shah. "At ail the missionary stations in Persia," adds Mr. McDonald, "I believe there are similar institutions engaged in the same alms and efforts, not to speak of the faithful and zealous labors in behalf of the spread of the Christian religion by the missionaries." Pnnl Ilrny Tells Ills Story. WASHINGTON, May 19.-Paul Bray, the nephew of ex-Consul Waller, who arrived in New York yesterday on the Veendam, is now in Washington. To-day he saw Assistant Secretary Uhl, of the State Department, to whom he told his story. Mr. Uhl declined to give to the press anything concerning the matter. The Allium- Incident. WASHINGTON.

Two American "Women Whose History Is u Ho in mice. New York' Evening Post. Wo doubt if there is in even the "Arabian Nights" a more striking change of fortuiiu than has been experienced by the two sisters Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Clarlin. 'those who remember their career in this city twenty years ago. especially during the peecher trial, have been infinitely diverted by their marriage to two Englishmen of the most conservative sort partners in old banking Arms, and rncn of the age at which the English love of staid respectability is supposed to be strongest. '1 hey are now so sure of themselves In their new position that Victoria recently sued the British Meseum for admitting into the library. In the ordinary course of business, a book containing some account of her early life. Tennessee is married to a knight, or bironet it may be, named Cook, and is therefore now l.ady Cook, and enjoys with her husband a villa and gardens near Lisbon famous for their beauty ail over Europe. A recent French traveler, giving some account of his wanderings in Portugal In the Revue des Deux Mondes, thus ae scribes a visit to it: "Lady Cook I heard of her at Lisbon, an American whose maiden name was Miss Tennessee Clarlin. a descendant of the ducal house of Hamilton, enormously rich, the apostle of feminine emancipation, married to an Englishman, one of the principal merchants of the city. She is very celebrated In her native country. When only nineteen years old she began a lecture campaign in favor of women's rights; a little later she opened a bank nt New York, in partnership with her sister, in which she realized in a few years a profit of five million dollars, directed a social review, wrote fifteen volumes, and got herself elected to the Senate of the United States. She was refused admission by the Conscript Fathers, and forthwith began againit them in the

Supreme Court a suit which made a great sensation. She then founded at her own expense the first woman's club, an idea which, as every one knows, has had an Immense success in all the American cities. At Lisbon they were unable to tell me whether Lady Cook was at Cintra. I only learned that she Inhabited Monserat only four or Ave weeks in the year, and that her palace, furnished with unheard of luxury, was severely guarded against the curiosity of travelers." He then describes his Interview with Lady Cook, who is "tall, slender, and still younsr In her features, in spite of a band of gray hair." "She must," Fays he. "have been very beautiful a poetic and dreamy beauty. She has clear, energetic eyes. My dialogue with her lasted only a minute. She learns that I am a writer. The remembrance of her own Hterarv reputation, of her rticles and lectures, of Woodhull & Chafiin's Weekly, pleaded doubtless with Jady Cook in favor of the two slranjjers. She is good enough not to inquire if 1 am a partisan of emancipation: she invites us to visit the palace." No lover of the humorous can wish that such American successes abroad as these should cease, or that these mythological explanations of them should die out. Rut the capacity of the English and French for believing American prodigies is really not much greater that the American capacity for believing English prodigies. There is nothing odder in tale or history than the accounts the attorneys who prosecute American claims to English estates, give to their clients about the way the English Judges and ministers deal with unclaimed American property and the accounts American story tellers give of Englishmen's Inability to understand Jokes. Roth these seem to wander in an enchanted land where the absurd reigns supreme. On the other hand, neither Englishmen nor Frenchmen seem to have any standard of American firobabillty. Anything, however astounding, n law or usage may occur in New York or Chicago. Our French friend, though an "ecrivian." sees nothing out of the way in Lady Cook's suing the Senate before the Supreme Court, and we recently heard an English writer tell how the New York aldermen charged a charitable institution $9.ono for a grant of $900,000 out of the city funds to erect a building and compelled it to employ fifty Irishmen at good wages to clean it. More curious than these things is. however, the apparent Indifference of Englishmen and women to American antecedents. It seems absolutely impossible for an American to carry a bad reputation across the Atlantic, as: long as he has got any money to spend. He may have robbed on the highway, but it will not injure him much in England as long as he has not been Indicted, and is fairly amusing. There is In this a topic on which much interesting discussion might be expended, but for which wc have no space to-day. FAVOR TEBRE HAUTE

PKOI1AIILR PLACE FOR RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERS' HEADQUARTERS. Largest MeeliiiK In the History of the Order nt St. Lonls The Virginia 31lninjr Trouble. ST. LOUIS, May 19. The annual convention of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, which will bo called to-morrow morning, will be one of the most Important sessions of the order ever held. There will be a full representation of delegates, and the convention, numerically speaking, will be the biggest gathering since the order was founded. Among many others, the most important question to be discussed is the proposed change in the form of government under which the order is now working, and there is a likelihood of some very' radical change in that connection. The order is in a flourishing condition and has made large gains in membership during the past few months. The location of the headquarters is the all-absorbing topic. Terre Haute, Peoria and St. Louis are competitors for the prize. The first named seems to have a strong lead. The grand executive committee left Vinton, la., the present headquarters, on Wednesday night for St. Louis, visiting Peoria and Terre Haute en route and reaching here Saturday afternoon. Praise for McCorckle. POCAHONTAS, Va., May 19.-To-day the miners held two meetings in West Virginia, at Simmons and near Pocahontas in the evening. The meetings are not so well attended, and the colored element predominates. Lawless, Webb. Watson and Aiams, the last two colored, spoke. The course of Governor O'Ferrall was condemned, while Governor McCorckle was Applauded as being consistent and patriotic. The Italians here still refuse to work. The Southwest Coal Company claims to have five hundred men on duty. A well-authenticated report says In digging a well near Graham, Va., eight miles from here, oil has been found. The following statement has been given out by Major Simons, commander of the Virginia troops, in reply to Governor McCorckle's statement: "In reference to the statement of Governor McCorckle that great injustice has been done the West Virginia miners by charging them with firing on our pickets I will state the facts in the case. On the night of the 8th the officer In command of Coal Branch station reported that his sentinel was fired on six times. On the night of the 9th the officer in command of the same post reported having been fired on fifteen times. On the night of the 17th the officer in command of the same post report ed having been fired on seventeen times and that two of his sentinels narrowly escaped being hit. In the last two instances I was within hearing of the shots, which were fired from the adjacent hills towards the West Virginia side. We have not interfered with West Virginia men in any way, except to prevent their interference with the men who were disposed to work in the Virginia mines. I am of the opinion that but for the presence of the military the Virginia miners would not have been permitted to continue operations and that there may have been bloodshed and destruction of property." t LA Y-11ACKK D CUT WO R M. Prof. James Troop Describes the Pest ii ml Its Parasites. Purdue University Bulletin. This Insect has appeared in great numbers this spring in many localities in southern Indiana, and has done serious injury to the growing crops. Reports have been received from Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Iawrenco and Orange counties, all of which state that the damage done Is very great and that In some cases farmers have suspended further planting on their account. The first reports described this insect as the "army worm." and. Indeed, the descriptions given of its habits and methods of work corresponded very closely to that of the army worm. Many of the first speciments received were quite young; others were dead before reaching me: and as the color of the larvae of th!s species is quite variable, it was impossible to Identify it, until recently, when a box of full grown larvae was received, together with this information: "Some of the specimens were taken from a potato patch, and some from a meadow. The meadow is timothy with some clover. All the clover has been cut down and the timothy not disturbed. In the potato patch we found from six to fifteen under a hill. They appear in such great numbers that they are called army worms; they do their work, however, at night and go into the ground in the daytime." These are the habits of cut worms, and enable us to Identify it as the species given above. This species was described in 1S75, but so far as known to me, did comparatively little damage to crops until 187, when it overun southern Illinois in a similar manner as It is now doing in southern Indiana. The eggs are laid in autumn, some of them quite early, si that a portion of the larvae are nearly full grown before going into winter quarters. This was clearly shown bv the different sizes found this spring. The larvae continue to work until about June 1. when they pupate, the moths appearing In August and September. The characteristic colors of the out worms are not so well marked in this species, the general color being a dingy gray to brown with lighter longitudinal lines along the hide of tho body. Remedies: The cut worm in general Is a more difficult In?ect to manage than is the army worm, and when it appears in a Held of grain or vegetables in such numbers as in tnis instance. It is practically useless to attempt to destroy it. Nature, however, has provided - remedy in the litIte parasite which deposits its eggs in large numbers within the larvae. The young parasites feed upon It and thus destroy It. In a Fmall box of larvae, received from Clark county, I have bred nearly 15o parasites, so that in all probability there will not be a recurrence of these pests for a number of years.

Correspondence of the Country Gentleman. In Prussia the game law allows the owner of every piece of land that is inclosed by a fence or wall the right to shoot birds or animals on it. or to rent the privilege out to those from the towns and cities. All of the land less than two hundred acres in extent, which is not inclosed, may belong to one according to law. but the shooting privilege Is owned by the commune in which the land is located. The result is that there is not free and Indiscriminate hunting. The sportsmen from the towns or cities, however, for a mere nominal rent' can find excellent hunting by hiring from any of tho farmeTs along the line of the railroads. The game is generally preserved and fed by the farmer until the shooting season, for the abundance of the game determines largely the price he can Obtain for the shooting privilege. A great deal of the shooting land is owned by the farmers who do not inclose it, and the communal authorities usually have renting of the shooting privileges. These renting privileges amount to many millions of marks every year, and they constitute, a very Impoitant revenue of the agricultural class. The commual atfthorities credit to each farmer his due share of the agregate rental in proportion to the area of his land. The leases of the shooting privileges are usually from six, nine to twelve years, and by furnishing proper financial guarantee that the rent will be paid, the privilege goes to the highest bidder at a public auction. The club or individual leasing the land then assumes all responsibility, both as to the rearing and preservation of the gtme and to the damage done to growing crops. Two communal assessors determine, the amount of damage done to farm crops by the hares, birds or deer, and they levy the tax to be paid to the farmers. Generally a local game-keeper watches over the small preserve to see that tne i'ime is not molested. The great principle which has been Inculcated by this system is that game birls are just as much private property as the poultry or cattle cf the farmer, and that it is just as punishable an offense to kill them without power from the authorities as it is to rob a hen-roost or kill a farmer's cow or pig. A long course of public education would be require.! In this country before people could be Induced to look upon wild game in this light. Naturally there is poaching In Germany the same as there Is chicken stealing in America, but It is doubtful If the former is much more general than the latter. Moreover, by this system the farmer's crops are protected from all Injury by Irresponsible depredators In search of game. The law forbids hunting on the farms when the crops are growing. The field shooting begins late in the fall when the crcps are all harvested. No one Is allowed to wander over the fields with a shotgun and hunter's accoutrements without a license from the local authorities. In order to secure a license

the applicant must be a man In good standing and not under eighteen years old. These licenses to shoot on certain fields cost from 73 cents to J3 a year. Any Infraction of these rules is punishable by fines, confiscation of the gun and accoutrements, and by imprisonment. Poaching is thus kept down and the professional bird and animal killer is abolished. Sportsmen who pay for shootinfr privileges are not governed by any unwritten code such as prevails In America, that it It not good form to sell their game In the open market. In Germany they kill the game for the sport and then sell It to hflp pay for the expenses of the preserves. On some of the best preserves the returns from the farms more than pay all expenses. Men of limited means can In this way enJoy shooting to their heart's content by using a little business shrewdness in conducting a preserve. Without this system many lovers of the sport could not afford to Indulge in the chase at all. The game is plentiful and ery gentle - when ti e shooting season begins, and every owner feels assured that the multiplication of the birds and animals will go on without interference from vxaehers. The principal wild game in Germany are the stag, the deer, hres and rabbits, pheasants, partridges, snipe, woodcock, .wild ducks, swans, foxes, badgers, fish otters and many others. The hare is the great national game animal hunted alike in every part of the empire by the plain, average German sportsman. It Is a superior animal, both in size and quality, to the common brown American rabbit. It does not burrow, but seeks a shelter In cold -weather behind stones and roots of trees. The small animal is in great abundance, and it forms a staple article of food for the lower classes. They are very prolific, one mother often bringing out from fifteen to twenty-four young ones In one season. They are preyed upon byhawks, foxes and other enemies beside man. but they multiply so rapidly under the fostering care of the laws that in December, when the shooting begins, the hunters find plenty of game. Paris Is a great market for hares, and it is not unusual for gamekeepers in one place to order a special car for each day during the shooting season to send straight through to the French capital. In Prussia alone as manv as 2,500.000 have been killed in one season, representing an lncprne to the agricultural classes of nearly H.joo.ow. The gray partridge of northern Europe, foand in considerable abundance in Germany, greatly resembles our quail, only larger. It is one of the most gamy field birds, and its flesh is highly prized by the epicures. So carefully are they protected that they live upon the open fields and meadows closes to the farmhouses. The birds bring forth two broods In one season, and the hunting begins in September. On most farms of 150 acres extent two hundred to three hundred birds are killed in one season, and on some very good ones the average score has run up to one thousand birds. Toward the end of the shooting season they become -wilder and harder to bag. and considerable sportmans blood is required to ghoot many. QUERY FOR ALTGELD.

THE TUJIK IN ARMENIA i EVERYDAY OCt'l RREXCES REPORTED III A FOREIGN' RESIDENT. Oftlcinl Corruption Crimes Saddled t'pon Christian Knrdn Murder and Oatruge with Impunity. New York Tribune. The following communication is from a foreign subject who has lived in Asiatic Turkey for more than fifteen years, and who recently has traveled In parts of the j worst governed provinces. The report is authentic in every detail, great care naving been taken to secure the exact facts. For obvious reasons all names have been ondtted. While possibly a more startling array of facts might have been given by selecting the most telling occurrences in several provinces, the writer prefers to confine the report tj a single province, in order that a more correct idea may be imparted: The Governor of this province impresses all who meet him as a man destined to rule, and that Imperiously, if not wisely. His presence is commanding and his manner dictatorial, but in strange contrast to these are the puerile traits of .credulity and impulsiveness. On his arrival he began a moral purging of the provincial seat. Evildoers began to quake, but, after all, it was something like an earthquake, terrible while it lasted, but soon over. Then was instituted a course of policy directed solely against the peace and prosperity of the Christian population. The record is something appalling. Scores have died In the prisons and at the hands of the Kurds; hundreds of homes have been devastated, thousands reduced to abject poverty, trade has been prostrated, avenues of communication closed, and all the Christians of the province brought to the verRe of despair. No pen can picture' their pitiable condition. The worst criminals of the province, notorious cutthroats, are the special friends of the Governor. He showers gifts on them, he kisses their foreheads, he decorates them with badges of honor, while Innocent and law-abiding citizens are made to suffer for their crimes. The following story, more amusing than anything else, illustrates the methods he uses to secure his ends. One day he chanced to see an Armenian riding by on a fine horse. He called the man and tried to close a bargain for the horse, but the latter objected that it did not belone to him. but I to his brother, who was in exile. After T 1 m. m -a - leaving ine tjovernors presence he began to feel rather uneasy, and concluded to sell the animal to a foreiRn subject. The newowner paid 25 liras for him, but In his turn grew apprehensive lest he lose the horse, and so took him to the consulate (not English.) The acting consul very soon received a missive from the Governor saying that a valuable horse worth 60 liras had been stolen from a Kurd and had been secreted in the consulate, and a polite request was added that the hors? be delivered up. Weakly enough, it must be admitted, the surrender was made. Then the Governor called in the Kurd who had fold the horse' in the first instance for 20 liras to the man who yas later exiled, and said: "Here is your horse: take it." A year later the Kurd was summoned and asked to bring the horse along with him. In the presence of officials and others a bargain was closed at 12 liras. and the horse "worth 60 liras" passed into the hands of his Excellency. The writer has seen the Governor play chess in the same way. at critical points exercising the prerogative of regulating his opponent's moves. , A SAMPLE. OFFICIAL. Not very far from the city is a Kurdish chief, an Intimate friend of the Governor. His rule in the district he occupies can be said to be positively unsurpassed in history for its absolute tyranny. The people of that region are worse than slaves, and now no one pretends to count the number of murders for which this man is responsible, and as for rapine and pillage it Is simply impossible to give estimates. One of his more recent outrages was to kill four unoffending Christians. That It was done at the instigation of the local government is evident from the fact that the Governor himself went to this district, called the chief and tho friends of the murdered man, and sa'd to t.ie latter: "Look here, you must forgive this chief, and 1 will see that he pays you blood money, ' which, according to the law, ought to have been 1,200 lira. What could they do but acquiesce? Then the chief scurried about among the poverty-stricken villagers, collected 40 liras from the Christians an J made his peace. It is clear that the crime was thus admitted by the culprit and the Governor, and yet such was the result. In this instance, one might, by much twisting and stretching, say that at least there was some faint show of an attempt to make peace in the chief's unhappy family, but what of those scores of Instances when Christians have been murdered openly anl in cold Mod and no redress has been possible. For instance, a poor, defenseless old man was taking his grain to the mill when he was attacked by Kurds, who robbed and murdered him. The body was found and brought to the village church. Word was sent again and again to the Governor to come and see the body, but no one came, and the villagers did not dare to bury the body lest mey shoull be accused of the murder. Fortunately, on the sixth day the English consul happened along, and managed to see the body.though, as he told the writer, the stench was something fearful. After that the government sent some one to Investigate and give the verdict that tne man had been murdered by Christians. Another instance or this nature will suffice. About twenty miles from the government seat a Kurd, having a grudge against an Armenian, publicly threatened his life, and shortly .after, finding him harvesting, killed him In the presence of his wife and children. Two of the younger children died from sheer fright. Complaints were made at once, but no notice was taken of the matter, two months after the murder a disturbance took place near this village in which Armenian outlaws were supposed to have resisted the government. Then the murdered man's name was put down on the list of outlaws who had taken part In the struggle, and there the matter dropped. That Is to say, a man who was known to the government as having been killel by a Kurd In August was put down as having met a Just death while resisting the government In October. Is It a wonder that the people are crying out. "We want simply justice, nothing more?" Within a month of this writing, in another district not remote, but somewhat Inaccessible, a poor Armenian who had no money to pay for his taxes was toll by the Turkish zaptiehs that he must pay or turn Moslem. He refused to deny his faith, anl, of course, had no money to pay. He was put in a closed room and a dense smoke kept up till he was smothered. These fiends then s intimidated four men and six women that they agreed to repeat the Mohametan creed and Income Moslems. If the world wants to know the name of this Utest martvr. as those of the poor wretches who yielded, they can be given. SHOCKING ATROCITIES. Not long ago the zaptiehs took a paper to a village within half a day's walk of the city and toll the villagers to sign it. No one could read It. and the zaptiehs refused to tell them what was in it. They refused to sign it until it should be read to them. They were beaten. Then It was agreed that the head men of the villas'; should take the village seal and go with the zaptiehs to the city, have the paper read and sign it. Half way to the city the man was attacked by the zaptiehs, unmercifully beaten and robbed of h!s seal, which was put to the paper and the man sent back to the village. About the same time a man from that village was seen to speak to a wealthy man whom the government had been trying for fome time to entrap. On the evening of that day the villaKer was arrested and tortured a greater part of the night to make him say that the man ith whom he had talked had said treasonable things. The villager persisted in telling the truth, and was finally released through the intervention of an influential Armenian. Ore shrinks from presenting to enlightened minds many disgusting details which are so common in this province as to provoke little or r.o comment, and yet nothing but the truth will meet the needs of

5 the present hour. Let this fact be known, then: That in the villages the sanctity of womanhood and girlhood Is entirely unprotected against the lust of Kurds and Turkish officials. Very few women escape outrage. It might ! asked, how Is such a thing practically possible? The answer is. for is no longer nces?ary. It would not be strange if the Christian public pronounced these statements exaggerations, but. the fact is, decencv prevents even a fuller statement of the truth. At the city of the province is published a paper which for consummate falsehood rivals the Father of Lies himself. The subscription list Is increased in a way which mignt leave doubts in the minds of pome as to whether the pen or the sword was mightier. The number of subscribers is large, and made up mostly of those uho cannot read a word of Turkish. Rut all must take it and pay for it, sometime twice over. One young man was approacned by a member of the police and asked to pay for the paper which was sent to him. The young man refused, saying that.hw knew nothing about it. Whereupon the police smashed his glass case containing" coins, took out what he wanted and walked off. The young man complained to the head, of police, but was hastily kicked out with the choicest of Turkish curses. The small prison cf this city Is crowded with more than two hundred prisoners, most of them Armenians and entirely innocent of the crimes with which they are charged. Deaths are very frequent among: them. One young man. supposed to be too ardent a friend cf the cause of liberty, was poisoned a short time ago. but some friendly Turks, taking pity on him, gave him some antidotes. The affair got out. the English consul Intervened, and now th young man Is "allowed to live." but is chained by neck and feet in a dungeon. News of his death Is daily expected. Th law requires that the government feed, prisoners, but the fact is that not a single Christian Is fed. Friends must send tread and food, and enough to feed the guard as well. One wealthy man told me that he sent to the prison dally for bis two triends enough to feed ten men. Some time ago four Kurds and seme Turks haJ a brawl on the outskirts of th city over a woman. One of the former ai killed on the spot, while another, though fatally wounded, managed to on to h village a mile further where he breathe! his last. The result was this: When th police arrived the remaining two companions of the Kurds were there In the village, but thounh the sword of me of them was stalnM with fresh blood, they were not arrested. Eighteen of the villagers, however, were arrested and remained In prison five months. Then they were released, and the decree was announced that as the men were murdered within the village limits and the murderers were not known, the entire village must pay blood money. The case never wer.t beyond the local court of first instance; that is, it was never tried; the companions of the murdered men who had -part In the fray wore never summoned to give evidence, and yet from the capital of the? Ottoman tmpirejhe verdict Is returned that these poor villagers must pay within a fewmonths 610 diras as blood money, which means that ' they ntust be turned out of house and home to make room for Moslerr oceunants. Puch is the course and nature of Turkish, rule. And now let the Christian world not comment, but act. Not a moment is to be1 lost. AND SHE WOKE UL0QMKRS. Yonngr Girl Illcyde Itlder Arrested for Ilelnft Drnnk. Tho first pair of bloomers to enter police headquarters came In this morning about L o'clock. The owner was a fairly gooJ-look-Ing girl, who refused to give her name or residence, and who was dreadfully drunk. She did not look to be over eighteen years of age, and she says she lives with her mother. Last evening she started out for a ride, and somewhere she obtained somei material not conducive to reliable blryclei riding. After 1 o'clock Sergeant Laporta and Patrolmen Spearis and Wallace discovered her trying to ride on West Seventh street not far from the canal bank. She fell frequently, and when the officers went to her assistance she was unable to mount. The wheel which she rode was sent down with her. The bloomers which she wore were radical in pattern. She was dusty and dirty, her hair was disordered, and sh presented a sorry sight. She was so noisy at headquarters that it" became necessary to put her In the dungeon, which, she sali. would drive her crazy. GrntuniRtlcnl. Chicago Tribune.
