Culver Citizen. A young Japanese su:Jnt from named Skinzo Ohki. is in the city today, the guest of Mis Emma JlDlcm and others. The young Kcntleman f l f . r Has .-..ccji in uns -.uiiwiijr ;ic ) idl Beatrice. Ryan, who was .graduated from St Michael's academy, received class honors for scholarship. Her general average examination was 95 cer cent, which was the hiirhest aver age in the class. Miss Beatrice may take a commercial course in the high schcol. I , George Kruyer brought a homegrown lemon to this office Thursday that measured 12 1-4 inches in circumference. It grew from a bush about two feet in height and budded a. year ago last May. This lemon is only a trifle smaller than the one the council h'anded the citizens of Plymouth through the electric light booster's newspapei. Uncle Charley Morgan rises to & point of order in the matter of relationship of some of the people named in the old record of tax collector Vinrredge. We said the Adam Vinnedge was father to the late Adam Vinnedge whilst their relationship was cousin. This is; immaterial to the average citizen but to those who have been here long enough to be conversant with the facts, the error grated on their nerves. Dr. J. S. Martin, who as former secretary of the county board of health rendered such efficient sen ice in tabulating and annotating the. statistical records, has- designed a valuable account book for the use- of churches, lodges and oth;r organizations. Last fall Dr. Marti. 1 was elected secretary of theboard of steward of the M. E. church. In his position he found it necessary to keep ac counts of weekly subscriptions and payments of every member of the church. He soon discovered that an ordinary system of bookkeeping would involve much labor, and so he began to devise a plan of keeping accounts correctly and minimizing tht labor. The result ci his study is two finely bound books, one for th: secretary arftf the other for the treasurer, which have greatly simplified and shortened the process of church bookkeeping. Mr. W. E. Bailey, who has been at home for several days from a three wee-" trip (through portions of the northwest, ws asked concerning his visit with bis brothers and son. Th professor s'aid that the trip had benefited his health and that he had rtijoyed a delightful visit with his family. He spoke of the high degree of satisfaction it gave him to join his brother in the Decoration day exercises at Chippewy Falls. The two brothers enlisted in the same company during the civil war and were together during three years of service. More than ' forty years have passed since those times that "tried men's souls," but the associations and memories of those days of army life were as vivid now as they were forty years a to. The grand army posts and the observance of Decoration days are the means of - keeping alive the memories of those who, in the peaceful pursuits of life, are still camping on the hither side, as well as those that have crossed to the unseen shore.

Answering an irr -polation in the Senate Tuesday afternoon regarding the status of the commercial accord between France and t'te United States Foreign minister Pichon pointed out that an arrangement undoubtedly would shortly be concluded. He said he had asked the American Government to recognize that the advantages conceded to German commerce were due to France under the previous Franco-American treaties, and that, the United States could not refuse, and had not refused, to extend to France an arrangement similar to the one arrived at with Germany. One difficulty in the way of a final understanding, M. Pichon pointed out was the que-stion of the regulations of the chambers of commerce of France, but the French explanations on the subject were believed to be satisfactory. Mr. Pichon concluded: "We are doing our utmost to develop our commercial relations with the United! States, to which country we are bound by. ties, remembrances and a community of interests which contribute not a little to bind together our econoimic relations." t Referring to the Limoges affair the senator said that the United States customs officials sent secret agents here to visit the factories for the purpose of making independent secret appraisals. , These agent. were given official recognition in Germany and the United States accepted the marLet price fixed by the German chambers of commerce.

"We have confidential information that the manufacture of trunks with false bottoms is a thriving industry abroad just now," said a Treasury Department official. "These trunks are designged primarily for rich Americans who are now traveling in Europe, and who will secrete diamond pieces of jewelry and osther val uables in secret trays, false bottoms and other places where an inspector would not be expected to look. - "These trunks are made very cleverly, and although it is an old dodgo, if will be 'worked with success this year. They used to make these trunks with false bottoms of such depth that the deception was quickly discovered. They do It much better now, and our inspectors will hive to keep a sharp lookout to prevent fraud. Only the most experienced inspectors who have handled trunks, for years, can discern the deception. "Modest clerks in high-priced jewelry stores in Paris earn a good deal of money on the side by keeping United States Government officers advised of the purchase of exp-.nsivc jewelry by traveling Americans. When the Americans return home the'r statements are carefully scanned to see if alltheir purchases are included. Many seizures are made in this way. The clerk is always rewarded by a percentage of th- extra penalty imposed, and in the same way maids and other servants who furnish information are paid." Armenians Slain by Turk Troops. Terrible massacres of Armenians in the villages of Bitlis and Van have broken out in the last few days and the situation there is reported to be very serious. Hundreds of Armenians are reported to have been killed or seriously injured in the outrages. Turkish soldiers are s'aid to be taking an active part in the massacres, assisting the Kurds who started the outbreaks. Practically every town and village in the two provinces af fected has been the scene of mur ders and outrages practiced indis criminately on Armenian men, wom en and children. Armenians living in Constantinople have rcceivd terrible stories of the indignities infiicted upon their countrymen and are greatly alarmed. Men have been decapitated, shot down in the streets and in some cases put to death by the most frightful tortures. Women and young girls have been outraged and killed. Even cniidren of tender years have no,t escaped the fury of the mobs. In the reports received, the mssacres; are charged directl to Russian instigation. Russia hopes to be made one of the civil agents to manage affairs, which would give her financial control of the region. One band of Russian , insurgents under Chief Andranik is reported to be froK'oking the mussulmen to the massacres in revenge for the murder of the dragon-man of the Russian consulate at Bitlis. An explanation of the Porte's intentions- in regard to punishing the murderers of the dragoman, and of ending the Armenian massacres has been demanded by the Russian ambassador.

OBITUARY.

James Keiser. James Keiser was born in SummerSet county, Pennsylvania, April 2, 1829, and died in Plymouth, Indiana, June 29, 1907. He moved with his parents to Ohio, when a small boy. Mr. Keiser was united in marriage to Julia Ann Thompson in 1832. Ten boy were born to this union, three of whom are dead and seven are living. Mr. Keiser moved1 with' his family from Ohio toi Marshall county, Ind.t and settled on his farm four miles west of Plymouth. His home was broken up ten years after he came to this county by the death of his beloved wife. Mr. Keiser was married the second time to Anna Gibson, in 1S7J, who still survives' him. Mr. Keiser, who was one of oair best farmers, retired from the farm in 1892, and moved to Plymouth where he lived until his death. Mr Keiser was a devout church-man having united first with the Luthrcn church in! Ohio early in life. When he moved to this county he united with the Evangelical church' and1 remained a member of i that church until he moved to Plymouth, and then he joined .the Methodist church. Mr Keiser was1 one of the most useful members of his church and was n trustee in his church at the time of his death. The church has lost a good member and the state has lost a good citizen in the death of James Keiser Sympathy But No Jobs for Poor in Ntfw York. , Sleeping at night in a 20-cent room and tramping the streets by day in search of work, Albert R. Williams, a young preacher who has chosen to live the life of the New York 'poor this summer instead of taking a va cation abroad, has found in the first forty-eight hours of his ordeal that New York City has lots of sympathy but few jobs for the boy who comes here without money, references or technical training to win his bread. The young investigator's small amount of money is dKvindling and he has not yet found the means of making more. Mr. Williams was' graduated re cen'tly from the Hartford Theologi cal School with high honoirs and a valuable scholarship. Before assum ing the duties of a pulpit, however, he resolved to study the conditions among the ,poor of the slums at first hand. He has cut himself oiff entire ly from his friends and relatives. His father, a minister in Blossburg, Pa., does not know where his son is Neither does the young preacher's bfothcT who is a prosperous busi ness mart of this city. Eight dollars, one cheap suit of old clothes and a cap formed the full accouterment of the young man when he set out. In the first two days of his wanderings he found no work. Not even the sweatshops would have him. He was refused a place a stable boy. The practical charity institutions would help him only to get work in: the country. Although he listened to the stories of graft toJd by a policeman In connection with a position in the service of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, he found himself unable get a job as conductor or mototrman. Russian Woman Learns English for Love's Sake. OliveT Stiffler and Miss Eugenia Pickard were married in Indianapolis Saturday night. The wedding was a culmination of a romance which began six years ajjo at a small town near Pittsburg. At that time both were employed on' the estate of a wealthy man StifflcT as a carpenter and Miss Pickard as a French tutor to two children. The couple could not converse, as Miss Pickard did not speak English, and Stiffler did not know French, but they grew to admire each other, andl Cupid guided tljeir love-making with his subtle arts the touch of the hand and the love-look in the eye. After 'an acquaintance of several months the two left their employer, the young woman returning to her home city, Sevastopol, Russia, and Mr.Stiffler coming to Rushville. The young woman devoted one day each week to the study of the English language in Sevastopol, and for six years she dreamed of the day when she would be able to master the language, return to this country, marry the man of her choice and be able to talk to him in his own tongue. She arrived in Rushville, Ind., last week, met Stiffler and for the first time held a conversation in English with the man of her choice. They will live in Rushville. A Billion for Drinks. According to figures furnished by the government bureau of statistics, there arc consumed in the United States in one year about 40,000,000 barrels of 'beer, 98,000,000 gallons of proof spirits and 30,500000 gallons of wine. These drinkables, sold at tail, take out of the pockets of the consumers in a single twelve-month e sum of $1,424,110,853. It is a gooid deal of money an'd one is tempted to cons:dcr what it could accomish if it were put to really good purpose. It would provide 500,000 families, or 2,500,000 people more than the ntire population! of the States of ew Hampshire, Rhode Island Veront, Maine, North Dakota and Montana with comfortable homes, clothing and provisions for twelve hole months. Toi each family it would give $350 for provisions, $S0 for clothing, $30 for shoes, $20 fr newspapers, magazines an'd books, $50 for church and charitable purposes, and woluld build for each family a house costing $1,500, with $353 to furnish it, thus bestowing upon each one of 500,000 families $2,380 and leaving a balance of $204,119,000 to erect 22,818 churches, each costing $5,000.
