It assumes full responsibility for the distribution, the Turkish government paying down a lump sum of fl5.0iX, and leaving it to the State Department to distribute this among: the claimants at its discretion and after its own fashion. It Is stated that as soon as the officials can prepare their list they will communicate with the claimants. These claims are principally based upon losses suffered by American missionary and educational Institutions In Turkey, notably those at Harpoot and Marash. but there are a number of Individual claims, such, for instance, as that of the family of the unfortunate bicyclist, Lenz, the Pittsburg man who was killed by Turkish soldiers while attempting to go around the globe on his wheel. For more than a decade the American claims have been pending. Minister Terrell initiated them. Dr. Angell went over to collect them, expecting to be so engaged for only a short time, but he returned unsuccessful after several years in Constantinople. Then Minister Straus took them up, and when he resigned he passed them along to young Mr. Griscom. The latter only recently committed his heavy charge to Mr. Leishman, and while to the latter minister belongs the credit of actually collecting the money It is said at the State Department that each and every one of the officers named have contributed valuable services toward the final settlement. In making the payment Turkey has re-established cordial relations between the two countries. XATIOXAL CAPITAL XOTES. Items of Interest to Indinninns Rural Free Delivery Routes.

Two Witnesses Are Positive n Young "Woman Posed as n Man. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., July 10. On this the third day of the trial of Ellis Glenn, charged with forgery, only two witnesses were examined. Every legal point Is being bitterly fought and it may take weeks to try the case, as there are over one hundred witnesses to examine. Judge Stapleton made a ruling, this morning that Ellis will have to sit, during the remainder of the trial, with her hat and veil removed from her head and face. This pleased the crowded courtroom, as they have been desirous of seeing her. The first witness to-day was C. M. Mayhew, of Parkersburg. who stated that Bert Glenn worked for him for a year in a meat shop, in Williamstown. the scene of the alleged forgery. He testified that he believed he was positive Ellis and Bert Glenn were one and the same perron. He said he had known her many years, when she appeared as a man. and now that she was dressed as a woman he still was positive Ellis was Bert. The defense asked him to swear to it. but he refused. George A. Hoover, of Williamstown. gave practically the same testimony. Although Glenn did not work for Mm he had had dealings with Bert on many occasions. He said that he believed the prisoner was the same person, but would net swear to it. Court adjourned until to-morrow morning. PARDONS AND PAROLES.

Have a charm of their own when they are not weak and feeble, but hale anä hearty, enjoying the sports and pleasures of youth though they cannot participate in them. The whole secret of a sturdy old age is this : Keep the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition in perfect order. The young man who does not think of his stomach will be made to think of it as he grows old. It is the " weak " stomach, incapable of supplying the adequate nutrition for the body, which causes the weakness and feebleness of old age. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures eliseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It makes the n weak " stomach strong, and so enables the body tobe fully nourished and strengthened by the food which ia eaten.

Y. during the first six months of his term ol orlice, about the same number of pardons, ra redes and remissions of fines and forfeitures as were granted during the rirst six months of Governor Mount's incumbency of office. The number is about twenty-four, and most of these have been paroles and remissions. Like Governor Mount, Governor Durbin exercises the pardoning power very sparingly. Colonel Wilson said that the Governor is being fairly overwhelmed with visits from persons who either rresent new cases for executive clemency or revive old ones. Attempts have been made recently to secure the release by pardon or parole of three life prisoners at Michigan City, but without avail. Between 150 and 2J people have called on Governor Durbin since the Legislature adjourned, asking for clemency for friends or relatives that are in pftson. About 400 or 500 applications for clemency are contained in the Governor's file boxes. A few of these are musty with age, but the greater part have been filed within the past two or three years. Colonel Wilson recalled that after Governor Mount had been In office six months he began to have "cold feet" as far as the pardoning and paroling question went. "I wonder if Governor Durbin will have the same malady," he suggested. COMPLICATION CLEARED AWAY. Tiew Steps in Indiana Manufacturing Company Litigation. The atmosphere of complication that has surrounded the Indiana Manufacturing Company tax injunction suits in the United States Circuit Court was almost cleared away yesterday morning. In the principal suit, which was filed only a few months ago and which was for an injunction against all the state and county taxing officers to prevent them from assessing any of the company's capital stock of the par value of $300,000 for any of the years from 1S02 to the present time, Mr. Taylor filed an alTLdavit showing that the Indiana Manufacturing Company of Indiana has been sold to the Indiana Manufacturing Company cf West Virginia. Accompanying his affidavit Mr. Taylor filed a motion to require the West Virginia company to give a bond not only for all the costs, but for the full amount of the taxes attempted to be enjoined. The motion asked that if such bond wvis not filed the suit be dismissed. Judge Baker, sitting on the circuit bench, entered an order that the company file a bond for $25,0 on penalty of its suit being dismissed. The taxes which the company seeks to prevent the collection of amount to about $20.000. On motion of the attorney general the oldest of the Indiana Manufacturing Company's suits was dismissed at plaintiff's costs. This was a suit filed four years ago for a mandamus to compel the county auditor of Marion county to place on the assessment book only the company's tangible property and none of Its capital stock. The other case brought by this company, which was the one that went to the Supreme Court of the United States and was reversed in favor of the State of Indiana, was on motion of the attorney general placed on the docket of the local United States Circuit Court again and Judgment for costs was entered against the Indiana Manufacturing Company in accordance with the mandate of the United States Supreme Court. CITY NEWS ITEMS. B. Carter Jessup. of Elkhart, filed his petition in bankruptcy in the United States Court yesterday. His liabilities are $3,337.25 and his assets are $2,02J.30. State Factory Inspector McAbee went to New Albany yesterday to investigate a boiler explosion that occurred recently In the C. & Co. steam laundry in that city. Five persons were injured in the accident. Eleanor Hospital Is In need of sheets, and the women of the Flower Mission have arranged for a "linen shower" at Plymouth Church this morning at 10 o'clock. It has been requested that "every housekeeper in Indianapolis send a sheet." H. J. Smock, of O) West Market street, was taken to the City Hospital yesterday about noon, suffering from a compound fracture of the leg. His horse which he was driving on Massachusetts avenue kicked at another horse but struck its owner. Charles Worth, 540 West Maryland street, and Albert Kinley. 5.14 West Pearl street, each fourteen years of age, were arrested yesterday on charges of petit larceny. Painters were working at the home of Worth and claimed the boys took some money from the pockets of their clothes, which were hung in the house. Governor Durbin announced, yesterday, that he will positively grant no more paroles to prisoners in the workhouse. The chief executive granted one such parole some time ago and, as 1 result, he has icf n fairly overwhelmed with similar applications. All thete are worthless, according to hi3 decision, promulgated yesterday. A report from New York states that Hardee KIrkland, who for two years was hre with the Grand stock company, has, by the rescue of Joseph M. Gates, his theatrical manager, from drowning, become the hero of Asbury Park. Gates was taken with cramps while In the water and well out at sea. KIrkland saw his struggles from the shore, and. realizing something was wrong, plunged in after him. He got Gates to the shore and he was revived after about twenty minutes' work. George D. Parks, of Lafayette, who was appointed by Governor Durbin Tuesday to act as engineer in making the survey of the State's portion of the Kankakee swamp lands and to run the levels of the river from Momence rock in Illinois to the headwaters at South Uend. spent the greater part of the day yesterday in the state auditor's ofiice looking over the old records of federal and state surveys of the Kankakee basin. Mr. Parks was assisted in his work by Attorney General Taylor, and the object was to obtain data for making the new survey in accordance with the clause In the general appropriation bill passed by the late Legislature.
