iamented the i'll luck that had brought
aim to a town apparently as fatally
healthy as Hettletas. Mrs. Blssell Ell
couraged him to wait till the season Of
coughs and colds and influenza set in il

must succeed. No one with the doctor s

he laid himself out could fail to become
popular in Littleheld. She had pro-
found distlusG of popularity, never hay-
ing been able to win the precious boom
but the glamor cast by the young doctor
was not to be altogether resisted, even
by so pcrspicacious and cool headed a
person as Miss Carver.
Mean time, while waiting for patients,
the doctor had nothing to do but read in
his pretty office, where Anne daily made

The Judge of awards on baking pow

Correspondence OF the Courier journal.
The happiest man in Congress
yesterday was Champ Clark, the
proud father of a new girl baby. His
other child is a boy about years
old. Talking about his plans tor the
future, Clark said to me one day last
session:
~ have several insurance policies
on my life. One of them, for $1O,-
900, will be due the day that boy
becomes twenty-one years of age. [
intend to give him the money and
start him round the world. He shall
never go to school day until he is
old enough and advanced enough in
studies to enter the Junior class of
the best college in America. | used
to be a schoolteacher, and | think |
was good one. | shall teach him
all | know. l have always made it
a rule to indulge my wife in all her
inclinations; but there is one thing
she shall not do and that is to whip
that child. | shall never whip him,
either, and if any other man should
lay hand on him in anger | would
kill him."
At this point of the discourse l in
terrupted Clark with the remark
that if that was the way he expected
to rear the boy he had better take
him out and chop his head off at
once. He did not like it bit and
retorted rather sharply.
A few days later | was passing
through Stanton Place, and there |
found Clark, his wife and the boy
sitting amid the trees and flowers. |
Joined them, and l never saw pater-
nal love and solicitude so we'll exem-
plifed as in his case. The boy is a
handsome, manly fellow, and was as
busy as a bee chasing birds and
romping about the grounds. The
relation between the father and son
was that most beautiful thing in life,
the love of strong man for a weak
child, and l have met few stronger
men than Champ Clark; but it is
safe to bet a dozen or so to one that
wnen that girl baby gets big enough
for Champs boy to hector, Champs
philosophy will undergo a change,
and that boy will get all the whip

of every boy, and that is a heap of

The Debs Contempt case.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 14.-The
long expected decision in the con-
tempt case against Eugene Victor
Debs and other defendants, growing
out of the Chicago and other railway
strikes, last summer, was rendered
in the Federal Court here by Judge
Woods this morning.
Debs was sentenced to six months
imprisonment, and the rest of the
defendants to three months in Jail,
with the exception of McVean, who
has not been sentenced yet.
The contempt tor which the de-
PENDANTS were arraigned, was vio-
lation of an injunction issued July
End by Judges Woods and Grosscup,
which forbade all men to interfere
with trains in any manner whatso'
ever. 1t is claimed by the United
States District Attorney that Debs
and other officers and directors OF
the American Railway Union repeat
edly violated this order of the court
by issuing directions to their lieu
tenants all over the country to call
out the men and advising the Grip
ling of the complete railroad system
of the United States if possible.
The defense made was that Debs
and his assistants had the right to
strike and to conduct their side of
the fight against the RAILROADS.

i sT,N, Ma-s Dee. l:-The
t:"iDNiag l. an abstract from Il letter
received here from an American re-
siding in Erzeroum, which is the
province Of Sassoun, where the re-
cent Turkish atrocities against
Christian Armenians are reported to
have occurred. For obvious reasons
the name of the writer was withheld:
Last year the Talvorigo Armen-
ians resisted the attack of the neigh
boring kurds, and this year the
Turkish Government sent detach-
ments of regulars 10 put down the
Armenians. They were assisted by
the Kurdish Hamedish. TheArmen.
ians were attacked in their mountain
fastness, and, reduced by the failure
of supplies and ammunition, they
were finally unable to resist longer.
"About score of villages were
obliterated aud manypeople slaught-
cred. A number of young Armenians
were bound, covered with brush
and burned alive. Others pleaded
for mercy, but were shot down on
the spot. About 100 women were
shut up in church. Many were
outraged to death, and the remainder
dispatched with the sword.
"Another lot Of women were cap
tured as spoils of war. Two stories
are told as to their disposal. One
is that they were carried off to
Moslem harems, and another that
they were slaughtered on refusing
to go. Children were placed in line,
apparently to see how many could
be killed with one bullet. Many
children were beheaded, and in
mates OF burning houses were driven
back into the flames at the point OF
the bayonet as they tried to escape.
Estimates vary from 5000 to s,
600 as to the number massacred.
Some estimates place the number
even twice as high. The massacres
in August and September,
and were prepetrated by soldiery
under officers of high rank. This
gives the affair a most serious aspect.
A Christian does not enjoy the re-
spect given to street dogs, and if
this massacre is passed over it will
simply be the declaration of the
doom of Armenian Christianity.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Dec. 12.-
l received a copy of the LEDGER Of
the 9th inst, and there read for the
first time of Arnold Mckee's sad
death. That it came as a shock up
on me it is needless to say, for,
though aware of his illness, ,as report
edin the columns of your paper, | had
no idea that it would end as fatally
as it did. The Mexico" colony in
Little Rock join with me in tender
ing to the bereaved parents our
heartfelt sympathy, form his death
they have lost noble son, society
a gallant leader and Missouri a
promising citizen.
True for you when you say that
he was favorite with everyone who
knew him; most of the Mexicans
now residing here, knew him, and
one and all were grieved to hear of
the untimely end that intercepted
what must surely have proven a
brilliant career.
The Thanksgiving edition of the
LEDGER was great success, and l
felt pleased in distributing a few
copies among "past subscribers" "
To the ladies of Mexico every praise
is due tor the efficient manner in
which they labored; they, no doubt,
felt their reward in the success they
achieved.
We have been enjoying the very
finest of weather. Providence has
for the past few days been send
ing copious showers of rain. Streams
of home seekers continue to pour in
to this state from the Northwest, ,and
are loud in their praises of the beau
tiful land. The holiday trade is also
giving the city a busy time, and
the citizens are preparing to lay the
neuclus of the Little Rock & Pacific
railroad, ~hose future existence is
almost fully assured.
Last Monday the first ground wss
broken upon the works Of L. S.
Military Post on Big Rock, amid
the roar of the cannon and appropri-
ate ceremonies.
AS Christmas approaches feel
that commercial prospects are again
returning, and hope that Mexico
will feel with
