Chief Badenoch to-day received a letter from attorney Capps, giving the results of an interview which the lawyer had at Little Rock with the convict Allen, alias Hatch. The prisoner is Just as crafty as ever, and, while persisting in his statements that he knows all about Holmes's deviltries, declines to divulge this knowledge unless first assured of pardon and release.- To Mr. Capps Allen, told a few additional facts tending to . Indicate his familiarity with Holmes and his doings, but his revelations were not of sufficient value to Justify the authorities' in requesting Governor Clark to pardon the horse thief. It now appears that Pietzel was known in D wight as Phelps. At the same time that Pietzel, alias Phelps, wasat Dwight, Miss Clgrand -was there also. When she returned she told her acquaintances that she was about to be married ''to a Mr. Phelps. Holmes says that all he knows about Miss Clgrand's fate is that she left his employ for the purpose of marrying Phelps, and that she is now in a convent One of the strongest points in the evidence accumulating against H. H. Holmes as the murderer of the Williams girls came to light to-night. Mrs. B. F. Pietzel said Holmes had given her a number of dresses, two or three pairs of shoes and one or two hats which had belonged to Minnie Williams. Mrs. Pietzel said that while she was in total ignorance of the fate of the girl at the time Holmes gave her the clothes, she now believes he either gave the articles in tne nope or diverting suspicion from himself in case they were found, or to save nimsexi lurtaer trouble in hiding or burning up the effects of the dead girl. . ' Oora Uuinian. dautrhter of Pat Quintan Janitor at the Holmes. castle, was seen touay on a iarm near i-akota, Allch. The girl, who is eleven years of age, told what tne knows about Holmes ana-his affairs. fene said she had seen Pearl Conner end Mrs. Conner, and her father told her that Holmes had said that Mrs. Conner had been married to a man who took her and Pearl to California. She says that she met Mis3 Clgrand when she and her mother made a visit to Chicago in the summer of 1892. She saw Minnie Williams in Mav. 1833. when she moved to Chicago. According to Cora's recollection, ner rather was in Texas a long while. She says that she thinks he was there about seven months, since tne arrest last November, Pat Qv'ol'n lias communicated many times with mimc3's wife in Wllmette. Cora says that sne nd n-r father - were out to Wllmette last Easter Sunday and on the tmnua just arier the Fourth cf Ju:y. The girl says that r he remembers her father often mentioning a man named "Mascot." This is tho man whom Qulnlan says he never rret in Texas, but his aaughter declares he often spoke of having met him. Tho girl was asked if she remembered the big furnace In the basement of the building. She said her father had mentioned to her the glass-ben ling concern by Holmes. "It was not there," she said, "when I lived In the building, but he once pointed out to me the place to which lt was moved. This, I am quite sure, is on the corner of Sixty-fifth and Sherman streets. The building was not there then, but if the furnace was In a cellar perhaps It Is in the ground yet." The girl's statement explains somewhat the failure to find the furnace and vat3 described by Chappelle, the skeleton articulator, and the police .will pow inve3tijate the lot referred to.

LYING TURKS SCOKEi) STRONG SPEECH BY MR. GUDSTOXE IX DEIIALF OP AHMCMA.S. Persecutor of Christiana Condemned In Vlfforons Language, and Coerc--lve Measures Recommended : CHESTER, England, Aug. 6. The town hall was packed with people to-day, the audience including numbers of Armenians in . anticipation of hearing the speech of Mr. Gladstone on the Armenian question. Among those present were the Bishop of Ripon and Messrs. D. R. Clifford and Ttobert T. Pain, of the American Peace Society. The audience rose with vociferous cheering when Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, the Duke of Westminster, the Bishop of Chester and the Mayor of Chester entered the hall. The distinguished visitors were conducted to seats on the platform and the cheering did not subside until the Duke of Westminster, the chairman of the meeting, rose to speak. The Duke, after a few opening remarks, read a letter from the Marquis of Salisbury, the new premier, notifying the. Duke that the sum of 1.030 which had been subscribed for the relief of the Armenians had been forwarded to the British embassador at Constantinople, Sir Philip H. W. Currie, who had been given full discretion as to the manner in which the money was to be distributed. After the usual preliminaries of such a meeting had been concluded. Mr. Gladstone arose amid an ouburst of enthusiastic' applause, and, addressing the audience, said that the Armenian question was not a party nor a religious affair. Continuing he said the present situation in Armenia resulted from, intolerably bad government, perhaps the worst on the face of the world. (Applause.) Mr. Gladstone then read, a resolution to the effect that: "This meeting expresses Its conviction that her Majesty's government will have the cordial support of the entire nation without distinction of party in any measures it may adopt In order to secure for. the Armenians such reforms in the administration of the province as to provide effective guarantees for the safety of life, honor, religion and property, and no reforms can be effected without the continuous control of the European powers." . Mr. Gladstone then said that the request was a moderate one and expressed hot only his ofyn sentiments but those of their transatlantic brethren, who felt even more strongly than did those present., A dispassionate inquiry which was made after the Sassoun massacre showed that the powers or language aid not suiflce to describe the statements which maae the blood run cold. (Loud applause.) The inquiry, he continued, had verified all the sickening details not only of European, but of American testimony, wnich was doubtless entitled to creaence as America politically had no Interest in the Levant- "ihls testimony, taut Mr. Gladstone with great energy, Eu:.iintd up into four words, was; "P.uiider, murder, rape, torture." But, aaded 'Mr. Gladstone, plunder and murder were tne comparatively mild side of the worK or the ravishcr and torturer. ' This is not the wont of the dangerous classes," continued Mr. Gladstone, "Mut of. u;e government of Constantinople and itsagents, ana there is not ono ot tnelr. deeds for -which the government is not responsl-. Lie. Tne Kuras, troops, police and tax collectors entered nto deadly competition us to which should . prove the most adept in this horrible, infernal work. (Loud and continued apyuiuse.j But guiltier than tncy are the nigner officers or the government. It is not true that the acts of the Turks were reprisals upon the Armenians for rebellion, on the contrary, the Turkish government disarmed the Armenians and men turned out upon them the barbarians and villians masquerading as the Sultan's cavalry, if there were the slightest foundation for hopes of better government, the Copstantinople authorities would have been eetier to discover and punish the perpetratois for these outrages; but tne government only met the allegations made against it with denial and falsehood, weapons familiar to the Turkc. "The treaty of 1373 bound tho Sultan to carry out reforms and gave England the power to redress wrongs. He has made three propositions that our demands be modified, but wo must not accept Turkish promises; we must not fear the word 'coercion.' It is a wcrd which Is heartily appreciated at Constantinople." In conclusion Mr. Gladstone said: "We are sensible as to what is due our honor. We must interpose to demand no more than what Is Just. But we must demand as much as is necessary and determine thai: this be accomplished whether it is met with resistance or not. (Loud and enthusiastic applause.) The resolution read by Mr. Gladstone was then adopted. Yonng Lens's Murderers. WASHINGTON, Aug. C-Thc State Department earnestly approves United States Minister Terrill's demand on the Porte for Ihe punishment of the three Kurds who murdered young Lenz, the bicyclist who was making a tour of the world. Justice, it Is said, moves slowly in Oriental countries and it may be some time before the murderers are arraigned. At the last report the Minister had not been able to secure the necessary order for the arrest of the men and it is probable that this accounts for the delay which Is complained of by the representative of the periodical which sent Lenz on his last Joumey, but it is expected here that Mr. Terriil, who is much interested in the case, will succeed in bringing the murderers to Justice. PEDAGOGIC XOXSEXSE. State Board of Education Made Ridiculous by Its Questions to Teachers. Elkhart Review. The Review has come into possession of a set of the questions furnished by the State Board of Education for applicants for the license to teach at the July examination. It is a surprising list, and the explanation of the failure of fifty out of the fifty-seven applicants in June lies in this direction, if the questions at that examination were similar. The questions on the ordinary branches of study are not particularly subject to criticism, and students Just out of school, teachers who have been following their frofesslon steadily, and applicants who lave been "ponying" up for the test, would probably find It easy to answer perhaps y per cent, without great difficulty. In the list are included the "scientific temperance" questions necessitated by the new law, and in which -all teachers in all public schools of the State must pass examination. It Is not with those nor with most of the technical questions that one would find fault, but what do our readers think of these questions for students of our common schools, and graduates from country schools? How many college professors could answer them intelligently in half an hour? (Any three.) "Describe the education of ancient Egypt, China, India, Persia, or Judea. "Describe the education of ancient Greece or Rome. "State some of the influences on educational ideas and practices which Christianity has had. "Select some one of the leading nations of the modern world and describe Its eduCelt Ion "Name, five sreat educational leaders In the epochs of the world's history. Give your reasons for the selections made." Or this? "Write not less than forty lines on th teaching of esthetics in the school room. Compositions graded on development of subject, grammatical construction, spelling, punctuation, penmanship and diction." And what of the last requirement of the following? How many well-posted politicians are there among the younger applicants for license? "Name threo leading federalists and three antl-fedtralists, and state briefly the views of each." How many of our adults could "describe the process of Irrigation.' or "discus tha

U )

relation of rivers to tha development of the country? What general bearing has a knowledge of what "Buskin considers the highest knowledge" upon the efficiency of an applicant for the privilege of teaching little six-year-olds? ... How many teachers or aspirants for license who have not ma3e a practical study of the microscope could intelligently answer the following: "How may. the use of the compound microscope be made profitable in the teaching of physiology?' Tho fact Is that the great prominence of the common school system of -. Indiana among educators is lirgely due to the false estimate which they place upon the Importance of technicalities. The pedant want things done in a pedantic way, and Indiana is away up in the extravagant development of unnecessary "system." But the real success of Indiana's school system is In spite of a vast deal of folly like the above. The sooner the State board appreciates the fact that such examinations are absurd and useless th better lt will h for tho Krhor.la If th MirnniA to reduce the list .of licensed teacher It may serve, but if its purpose is to find out the real fitness of applicants for tho' Instruction of t h votmir it 1 auiv fail ure. Indiana needs to revise some of its school methods, it is not keeping up with sister States in the real merit of Its educational system. The State board can learn a good; deal of Michigan' and Ohio that would b of vast benefit. , AMUSEMENTS. WlldTrood Closes After This Week. The Wild wood management made the unexpected announcement last night that the open-air opera season will close next Saturday night, This being tha case, thero remains only four more performances two of "Glrofle-Girofla" ' and two of "Bllle Taylor," which is to be repeated the two last nights' of this week. This notice will be somewhat of a disappointment to tha many who have enjoyed the first season of summer opera in Indianapolis and who will no doubt regret seeing the season brought to a close where there yet remains presumably another month of favorable -weather. The management claims that the closing is due to circumstances over which it had no control. It was Intended to continue giving light operas as long as the weather permitted, but last Saturday night a number of the principals gave notice that their regular season's engagements would make, it impossible to remain longer at Wildwood than this week. The local management at once sent Mr. Huntington to Chicago to see about replacing those who wer about to leave, but found that It would b out of the question to get together in so short a time another cast that would compare favorably with the list of excellent singers who have been giving such satisfaction. Rather than go ahead with an Inferior company lt was thought best to close. Those who have announced that they must bid a temporary adieu to Wlldwood were the best singers there. Miss Ada Palmer Walker has. several offers undr consideration with New York managers, and will go directly to New York after Saturday night's performance. Harold Blake also has Immediate business in New York, and will probably leave on the samf train taken by the prima donna. Mr. Blake is considering an offer from Mr. Abbey for next season with the Lillian Russell company, which Is to produce De Koven and . Smith's new opera, "Tzigane," which had a trial production last spring. Stags manager Lee Dougherty is under contract to report in Philadelphia next week to superintend a new production there, and will take threo WildwooJ people with him. Other members have engagements, and when they go there would be Utile of the original company left, .r These who are going expressed their re-; grets ' to the management, and could not say too much in praise of their treatment during their, short stay. in Indianapolis. A number of the principals, it Is understood, already provisionally engaged for next season. .Next -year the theater will be on far more imposing l!-cs than the present affair, which the mani.ement never intended to be more than a temporary structure. The sale of scats . for the rest of the week Is already largo The announcement that Wild wood was tOclose with this week was anticipated by a rumor on the street yesterday afternoon, and there was a rush for seats for the remaining performances. Xotea of the Theaters. To-night and the rest of the week "Tea Nights in a Bar Room" will be put on at the Broad Ripple Auditorium. "The Smugglers" attracted large crowds again yesterday, and will be put on at the Park for the last times this afternoon and to-night. The bill for the rest of the week 13 "Mystic Mountain." Yesterday morning a man appeared at tho box office of the Park Theater, and, putting down $13. asked for 150 ten-cent tickets.
