A NEWSPAPER FROM THE ARA,

Mount Ararat has been encroach-
ed upon by journalistic enterprise,
and a newspaper, WMbs from ar
drdt, has been established by the
American pilgrims a. the very foot
of the mountain. The paper con
tains some curious and interesting
local topics, quotes the price of
girls as wives i'll the Armenian vii
lagos, varying from 60 to f16, and
discusses the peasant notion that
the world rests on large OK, which,
being irritated by fly, losses its
head and thus causes earthquakes,
and the belief of the natives in the
neighbOrhOOd of the Mount that
impossible barriers surround Ara
rat to prevent its being desecrated
by mortal feet, while angels keep
guard on the summit lest one piece
of the indestrUctible wood of the
ark should be borne away.

organizinga Fire Company (who had
already purchased a Babcock Fire
Extinguisher, hook and ladder truck,
and had the apparatus already in
TOWN.. At this meeting a Company
was organized, and permanent Off
GERS for the term of six months
elected, without a dissenting voice,
Mr.. McDuffie being present at that
meeting. At subsequent meeting a
building committee of three were
appointed, for the purpose of having
building put up suitable for the
Company's use, Mr.. McDuffie being
one of that committee. A contract
was let and building erected, Mr.
McDuffiie having shown to the Com
pany that he had sufficient money
subscribed to pay all Indebtedness
contracted, amounting to some
$1,000 or Sl700. When the building
was finished the Company held a
meeting, and ordered a warrant
drawn for the amount due the car
penters, amounting to SITS, which
amount had been collected and was
in the hands of Mr.. Rosenthall, the
Company's treasurer; but Mr.. .McDuf-
he forbid Mr.. Rosenthal to pay any
money until he told him to do so, so
We could not get possession OF the
building to house the apparatus. The
Company being unable to get any
satisfaction from Mr.. McDuffie, ap-
pointed at this same meeting a col
Letting committees; Mr.. McDuffie
not being present, but through some
one he heard that the Company had
appointed the committee. Mr.. Nc
Duffie and Mr.. Rosenthal, started
out the same night and forbid any
one paying money to the Com
Fnys committee. 1t will be impos-
sable for the Company to amount to
anything for service as long as one
man has the power, and ignores the
viii Of the majority. The engine
mousse has been completed over two
months and still the Company have
not got possession, and the apparatus
ays out exposed to action of the ele-
ments. 1t hardly looks reasonable
ne property holders and citizens
subscribed their money to be thus
used by Mr.. McDuffie. According to
"r' McDuffie's statement the appa-
a'us cost some $3.50, but the Com
r'hy could never get a statement
I0'h nim Of what he had collected,
~hat he had done. 1 write this
Z ''a'ement so that the citizens may
4 f''ce the blame were it belongs.
