BRIDES STOLEN AWAY.
Ruthlessly Torn From Their Husbands
by Bands of Warlike Kurds.

CONsTANTINoPLE, November IL
An earnest appeal has been presented
to the Armenian patriarch to use his
influence in behalf of the Christian
women and girls of Armenia, who are
being carried off in large numbers by
the Kurds. 1t appears that women
are scarce among the wild tribesmen,
who, when they want wives, swoop
down on some Armenian neighbor-
hood and bear away all the good-look
ing young women they can find, thus
leaving to the Armenian men only the
less attractive. In several instances
the Kurds have broken in on wedding
parties and carried the brides off from
the feast or church. 1t is believed that
the Kurd tribesmen nearly all have
Armenian wives, judging from the num-
Der stolen. although it is intimated that
they dispose of the surplus at fair
market price for Turkish and Persian
harems.
The Turkish authorities are accused
of encouraging the Kurds in their
lawlessness, and instead of trying to
catch and punish the raiders they ar
rest and imprison the Armenians who
resist them One Armenian father at
Sivas, blessed with four daughters,
went to the vati to ask for protection,
as he feared visit from the Kurds,
and was seized and kept in prison for
week. When he was released his
daughters were gone ; whether taken
by the Turks or Kurds he could not
discover. Hence the appeal to the pa
triarch, whom the Armenians expect
to help them by his influence with the
Porte. The patriarch, whether he is
afraid of the Turks or not, as some of
his enemies charge, takes but a Ian
guild interest in the subject.

DROVE NAILS IN HIS SKULL.
Horrible Attempt at Suicide by a ReIig-
ious Maniac.

ious Maniac.
VIENNA, November 30.-The details
of most horrible attempt at suicide
have been made public to-day. 1t is
without doubt a case that never had
its parallel in this city, and the most
remarkable feature about it is that the
would be-suicide is, at last reports,
still alive. The doctors are particu-
larly interested in the case, as showing
how the brain may be terribly injured
and vet not cause death. The case in
point is that of septuagenarian, who
was admitted to hospital here to-day.
1t is said that the man was recently
attacked with religious mania, and
became impressed with the idea that
he was called upon to make a sacrifice.
He therefore procured seven nails,
each three inches long, and hammered
them into his skull. When he was
taken to the hospital the blood was
pouring from his head, and he pre-
scented most dreadful appearance.
Everything possible was done to re-
ieve the terrible agony from which he
suffered and to make his death easy.
The hospital doctors, of course, do not
entertain the slightest hope of his re-
cOvery.

Minneapolis Ahead.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 29.-That
this city wants the Democratic Nation
al Convention to be held here was made
evident in an emphatic manner to-
night. AS many Democrats and Re-
publicans from st. Paul, Minneapolis

1t is poor way for benevolent organ
izations to prove their usefulness by
coming before the public everlastingly
as money beggars, getting an audience
penned up in hall and practically fore
ing them to contribute before they can
escape. Charitable and benevolent con
tributions that are not voluntary are
worth nothing. Giving for others good,
real or alleged, is something people GER
tainly ought to be allowed to do as they
please about.
