FROM ORIENTAL LANDS.

An exceptionally Fine Display of
 Rare Antique and Modern Turkish
 and Persian Rugs by Mr. EafaiIan.
 Our citizens are to be congratulated upon having grand chance to buy choice and se- lected Turkish and Persian rugs at real bar gains. not at fancy prices, but at very mod- crate prices from an Arminian gentleman, Mr. Enfsjian, who is now prosecuting his studies in the Sheffield Scientific school, and will remain in New Haven to take post graduate couase. MT. Enfajian is a native Arminian and cultured Christian, gentleman, who. having rare opportunities through per- sonal friends to collect and bring here their rugs, has done so. The stock he exhibits at his store on Chapel street, opposite Trinity church, contains many rare antique speci- mems interesting to the connoisseur and the stock as a whole is great deal finer than those which have been shown here by others, One large rug, 300 years old, is shown. Also there are embroidered table covers, ,draperies, portiers, scarfs, Turkish slippers, Bulgarian art work gems and various oriental novelties. Many of our wealthy people have bought rugs, large and small, of MT. Enfajiau, and members of the college faculty are buying of his stock. It is highly worth visit. One strong point is the great superiority of the rugs display over any previous display here. Visitors are welcome.

Treaty Formally Rejected.

New YORK, September IA Wash
ington special to Herald says, Chang
yon Hoon, Chinese minister, who was
called to Peru ON official business
several months ago, will leave Lima
on the 18th for the United States. 1t
was the minister's original intention
to return to this country by way
of San francisco, in which city
he purposed remaining a brief period
in order to more fully acquaint him
self with the Chinese question on the
Pacific slope. His change of plan at
the last moment was in obedience to
the notification from the Chinese en-
peror to proceed at once and
by the quickest route to
Washington, d. c., in order
that his majesty's wishes and regards
about the treaty should be commune
Gated through him to Secretary Bay
ard. 1t may be authoritatively stated
that confirmation of the rejection of
the treaty was officially received at
eWhite House.

A Reward Offered.

Saloon keeper Van Alstyne is
bothered with black beetles now. He
has gotten rid of the crickets in a
wonderful way and marvels at it him
self. He says the beetles eat up the
crickets or drive them away. He has
seen them eat them. But the beetles
are worse. They congregate and then
die, and then they stink. He has
tried everything to dispose of them
and facilitate their demise, but to no
effect. The last resort was the con-
cocting of a pot full of concentrated
I've. He thought that would "fetch"
them sure. He sprinkled it over
them, but they shook their wings and
liked it. 1t made them livelier.
Thinking there was a mistake some
where, he caught several and put
them in the pot of lye. Several
matches were floating on the surface.
The last thing the Disguised saloon
man saw of them they were building
a raft of the matches and singing as
they worked "a Life on the Ocean
Wave" etc. Van offers a reward for
their destruction.

The Advance in Wool.

l.. F. Humphrey, a Boston wool
buyer, was seen at the Monongahela
house yesterday afternoon. Speaking
of the wool trade, he said The price
of wool has advanced. When the
Mills bill passed the house, manufac-
turers would not buy until they saw
what the outcome would be. Then
the trade declined. The senate has
shown no disposition to adopt the
measure, and the crop of wool being
a good one, a demand was created,
and this explains the advance in
price,"
