THE ARMENIAN CONVENT.
Damage to One of the Lions of Venice
that Every Tourist Visits.
Pail Mall Gazette


Most persons who have been to Venice
know the Armenian convent on the is
land of San Lazzaro, and every one who
knows il has been charmed with it and
with the courteous welcome of the Mech
itharist monks who live there Besides
the beauty of the place itself and the yet
greater beauty of its situation it has
some Importance for serious people as a
seat of Armenian culture, while English
men naturally find it all the more inter-
esting from the fact that Byrap- once
lived there and fas Mr.. HoweIls puts it,
did the Armenian language the favor to
study it there-a little" Byron's room
and Byron's autograph and the Arme-
man Bible which he used to read and
picture of Newstead Abbey are always
shown to English travellers. Another
possession which the monks much prize
is a copy of the "Stones Of Venice"
with an autograph inscription by Mr..
Ruskin, "hoping that he may some
times be remembered by the good broth
ers. All English travellers will be gen.
timely grieved TO learn from letter in
the Times this morning that the convent,
with its mellow brickwork on an isle of
bowers, has been to large extent des
troyed by fire. The museum and libra
ry are untouched, but nearly all the
rooms lived in by the fathers and scholars
are burned down. 1t is characteristic of
the eunworldliness ofthe community that
they were not insured. and they appeal,
therefore, to their friends in Engla,d d
and elsewhere for help to rebuild their
walls. Fire and wind have been more
guilty of vandalism at Venice" than
even the necessities of modern com
merce.

Mexico is making a study of the cul-
ture of the rubber plant. The hardi-
ness of the plant is said to be such that
its culture is exceedingly simple and
inexpensive, where the climate and soil

wedding required when the plants are
young to give them a chance TO grow
and strengthen.

back.
At one of these mills, not long ago, a
man backed up to get away from the
carriage, and thoughtlessly backed
against large saw that was revolving at
the rate of about 200 minute. The saw
took a large chew of tobacco from the
plug he had in his pistol pocket, and
then began on him.
But there's no use going into details.
Such things are not cheerful. They
gathered him up out of the sawdust and
put him in a nail keg and carried him
away, but he did net speak again. Life
was extinct. Whether il was the nervous
shock that killed him no one ever knew.
The mill shut down a couple of hours

saw and then work resumed once more.

lean on the buzz saw when it moveth

ported in the South Wales Daily News
An old man of the name of Morgan went
to call upon his landlords, Thomas and
John Harris, both of them apparently

whisky, and his condition is thus des-
crbed by a medical man, after his visit
to them:

cut close. found two or three scars on
the back of his right hand. They were
apparently produced by burning. then
examined his left thigh. On the back Of
the hip there were wounds -four and
half TO five inches in length, and covered
by scab about half an inch wide. | be-
lieve they were inflicted by burning |
then examined the front Of mis- thigh,
and saw three wounds on each thigh,
covered by scab, varying from an inch
to half an inch in length. These wounds
were also caused by burning. (IIc then

from their minds with scorn the fact that
these young men were landlords and

must, if he broke the law, suffer the
same as a. : other one" Not so, howev-

unable to agree and were DISCHARGED.

Justice Field said: There was case

A SEAL IN A SACK.
How n Finny Mother Followed Her on
spring for Eighty Miles,
Santa Barbara Piess


An interesting incident, illustrating
the maternal affection Of an animal for
its young, was brought to notice during
the visit of an excursion party TO Anaca-
pa Island.
A young seal pup only few months
old was brought away from the island by
little Earnest Whitehead, who desired
to take it home for a pet. The little ami
NAL was secured by rope around one Of
its fins and tied within a small yawl be-
longing to the sloop. Shortly before
sailing large seal was noticed swim
ming around the sloop anchored Off the
cave where the capture was made, utter
ing loud barks and 1T times bowling pit
eously. No particular attention was paid
to the animal at the time or to the little
captive, which at times Darked in res
ponse to the old dams plants. The boat
sailed away, making for the Ventura
shore. When off San Buenaventura a
aim in the wind decreased the speed of
,hc boat, when large seal was noticed
near by.
On reaching the wharfat Santa Barba-
ra at two o'clock next morning seal
was again discovered swimming about
the boat. 1t was not supposed that this
was the mother of the captive or out of
pity for its misery the pup would have
been thrown overheard. To better Sc
cure the pup until daylight the rope was
taken from its fin and it was tied up in a
jute sack and left loose on the deck.
Soon after coming to anchor the seal re-
sponded to its mothers invitation by
casting itself oeerb oard all tied up as it
was within sack. 1t is asserted by the
men on deck that the seal mother seized
the sack and with her sharp teeth tore
open the prison of her offspring. This,
however, is a mere conjecture. Ii it did,
the little pup was saved otherwise it
would drown tied up in the sack
The incident was the more interesting
from the fact lat the old seal had to
follow the slocp at least eighty miles
over the ocean in hopeful endeavor to
rescue its young.

A discovery which has just been made
at Alleppo is likely TO cause considera-
BILE surprise in military circles. Accord
ing to the Turkish official gazette of that
place party of fengineers, while making
excavations beneath the citadel of that
town have come upon a large wrought
iron breech-loading cannon, which must
have been buried for at least two hun
dred and fifty years That the weapon
should be breech-loaded is in itself
sufiiently astonishing; but the most ex-
tradinary part of the affair is that the
breech mechanism is almost exactly sim
liar to that which has for so many years
been fitted by Krupp of Essen, to the
artillery of the German army. The gun
bears the name of its maker Helebil
Mustapaha Osia, and is in fairly good
preservation.

LOVERS BEFORE THEY NET.
Youth I'm Manitoba Travels 10 the
American Capitol to Find wife.
Washington star

Washington Star.
Last evening the neat little Grace
Episcopal Church, South Washington,
was filled to overflowing to witness the
wedding of Mr. Peter McCalmon, of the
province of Manitoba, and Miss Lizzie
A. Gabriel, of this city. At o'clock the
ushers. Messrs. J. Walter Cooksey and
Alex. Douglass, preceded the young cou-
pie TO the altar, Miss A. Wilmuth, the
organist, playing the wedding march.
The ceremony was very impressively
performed by the rector, Rev. Fred Z.
Lee, Mr.. Douglass giving the bride away.
The bride, who is quite handsome girl
WAS attired in white silk. Immediately
after the ceremony the couple returned
to the residence of the bride. Later the
northern train took them to their far
away home in Manitoba.
There is a little romance connected
with these parties. The groom lives, as
stated, in the province of Manitoba,
where the bride has married sister
living. Through the sister the groom,
about four years ago, heard of Miss Cab
riel, and correspondence was commen-
ced. during which, Notwithstanding they
had never seen each other. their feelings
towards each other became more than
simply friendly The hearts of the wri-
tiers glowed with love. Portraits were
exchanged and minute descriptions were
given of each other. The result was
that a few months ago they became en-
Gagged to be married on condition that
there was no change of feeling after a
personal interview. The time for the
nuptials was fixed for September or Oct
ober. The young lady in the meantime
made preparation to take leave OF alb
sence.
The groom about the lst of the month
arrived here, being desirous of seeing the
lady. He wrote a note to her, which
she failed to receive until Monday OF
last week, when she promptly sent him
the directions to find her place of resi-
dence on Missouri avenue, and he called
that evening. The chains of love woven
through the aid of the mails, were more
firmly riveted at this meeting. The
young lady's friends were highly pleased
with the gentleman. The result was
that the couple concluded that it was use
less to wait longer and preparations were
at once made for the wedding, which
took place last evening.

FASHION.

A velvet and velveteen season is pre-
dicted.
Copper color and migonette are again
fashionable.
A dress entirely of silk is no longer
correct for street wear.
English jacket and jockey cap bonneis
will be much worn.
New round hats have stiff high crowns
and straight or rolling brims.
Small shoulder capes or collars with
full pleated rufiles are among late novel
ties.
Grays, browns, and indefinite shades
of blue or blue-grecn bid fair to be very
popular.
Crushed strawberry is no longer fash
ionable, skot blue and plum color having
taken its place.
Gray and brown in various shades are
the favorite colors for the new felt hats
and bonnets.
For travelling and utility suits for fall
wear. checked and hair-lined fiannels
will be much used.
The Molliere waistcoat and blouse
waist, worn under cutaway jackets, are
iavorite fall styles.
The new velveteens are so handsome
ly finished that they are frequently mis-
taken for real velvet.
The new brocades have corded edges
around the figures or flowers in the style
Of Escurial laces.
Plain white flannel is still the favorite
and most appropriate material for boat
ing and yachting dresses.
Dresses entirely of silk, are, as they
