Strange Religion In Mesopotamia.

a high prelate in Armenia has adj
dressed letter to friend IN Vienna, in
which he gives an account Of strange
sect in eastern Mesopotamia called the
Yedzidies. The members of this sect are
the direct descendants of the old Chal-
deans or Persians. They are neither Mo
hammedans nor Christians, but have a
strange religion very much like that of
the Parsees. The NONE Imedans say of
them, however, that they pray to satan,
Some months ago the sultan sent mis-
sionaries TO the YedGidies to convert
them to Islam, and recently the imperial
commissioner arrived at Mossul, the
Nineveh of the Bible, and called upon
the Yedzidies to adopt the true faith, but
they firmly refused.
The Christians in Mossul now thought
their chance had come, and sent mis-
sionary of their own 80 convert them.
The Turkish commissioner, however,
was so angry at this that he arrested
several Christian notables and put them
in prison. He then proceeded to con
vert the Yedzidies with the help OF
armed soldiers. and several of them
were killed and wounded. The prelate
concludes his letter with the questions
Has Turkish commissioner the right to
convert" any one to Islam by force OF
arms. and has he any right to put Chris
tians into prison because they attempted
to convert the same people to their own
faithT-Exchange

ceived no advance and was not indebted
to the boarding house man for single

until after we had had our supper that
saw the captain or recalled what the old
woman had said. The chief officer,
whose name was Mr.. Watson was evil

tyrant, while the second mate went about
his work in quiet way and showed no
disposition to bully anybody. We had
a crew of IA men, which made us strong

stood fully 6 feet in his stockings, weighed
about 200 pounds and had the appear

Of the movement Of wild animal. 1t
was gliding, shifty step, as light as II

as if a spring was meditated. His eyes
kept travelling from point TO point in Il

whore the Trouble Is,

Senator Teller is right when he says
that the silver purchase act is blamed
for too much. 1t ia NOT responsible for
the crash in Australia, the troubles in
South America, India and Austria
Hungary.
II happens, however, that the opera
tons OF that act 10 the face Of the
worlds gold policy makes us bear more
Of the general financial burden than
would otherwise have fallen to us. II
we had not been trying to bold up sil-
YER by a mere act Of Congress aud
against the steady trend Of the world OF
finance, silver could not have struck US
the blow 1t has.
Another fruitful case Of financial
trouble in the United States is the
Democratic threat to upset the tariff
system under which the country which
made its greatest prosperity. Every
body knows that the Democratic party,
for the first timer q third Of q century,
has the power to make good its threat,
aud everybody is shortening sail ac-
cordingly.
Money is being boarded and manu-.

party would say that 1t has no inten-
ton OF touching the tariff business
would gather up at once and go with a
