story of the outrngcs.

ATHENS. Dec. IA further story Of
outrage by Turks has been told here by an
eyewitness of the occurrence. An Ar
menian has just arrived in this city from
Hadjin, an Armenian town, from which
pace he escaped shortly after the out
rage was perpetrated. Hadjin is, or rather
was a town OF 1000 wooden houses, situ-
ated near Marash. The refugee states that
on the night of Oct % four Turkish Off
GERS and two gendarmes set fire to the
town. using petroleum 10 cause the more
rapid spread of the flames. An Armenian
named Merdakian Garabed. with his
mother. witnessed the incendiaries al their
work and cried for help. A Turkish Off
cial, who was appealed to to send aid to ex-
tinqush the fire, refused to permit any
sistance. Garabed was seized by order of
the officials and thrown into prison. Three
days alter Garabed was killed and his body
thrown into the ruins of his burned house.
Two refugees have also arrived here
from Zeitun. They state that Turkish
troops seized Archbishop Nlgohos in the
monastery of Fournout, near Zeitun, to-
gether with eleven residents Of the village
Of Zeitun. Al the prisoners were taken
in chains in Smyrni eleven days ago,
Their fate is unknown.

CONSTANTINOPLE,D Dec. 7-Presldent
Cleveland has sent a cable message here
saying that he has reconsidered his de-
cision not to send an American delegate
with the Turkish commission appointed to
inquire into the Armenian outrages. The
president adds that he will allow the
American legation here to nominate a del
egate to accompany the portes' Armenian
manifesting a great desire to satisfy the
powers that he United States government
was the first asked to send a delegate with
the Armenian commission, but the United
States declined. The earl Of Kimberly, the
British secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, was also requested TO nominate a
delegate and he Immediately assented.
Nobody here seems to know why Presi-
dent Cleveland at first declined to send a
delegate with the commission, and it is
understood that the United States and
Great Britain are still in communication
upon the subject. The final arrangements
are as yet incomplete.
The Turkish authorities say they believe
that no such murders and excuses as
those described by the Armenlans We're
committed by the regular Turkish so.-
diery, although they say that it is pos
sible that in their operations against the
rebellious villages a great number of people
have been killed. But the murder Of de-
fense.ess inhabitants is deemed wholly i'm
probable, as the Turkish troops would only
fight against armed rebels. The porte
claims that this trouble was seized upon by
the Armenians in order to get up political
agitation.

REASON FOR THE DEcLINATIoN.
On Account of the Status of European
Politics.

WASHINGTON, Dec THE an
nouncement, exclusively made by the
Associated Press in the cable dispatch from
Constantinople. that President Cleveland
had reconsidered his original intention and
decided TO send an American delegate with
the Turkish commission 10 inquire into
the Armenian outrages was shown Secre-
tary Gresham today. Until very recently
the department has been very much in the
dark officially as to the Armenian troubles.
but at last information was received that
warranted action and this has been as
announced. The course pursued by the
United States has been marked by great
prudence and a desire to refrain as far as
dictates Of humanity would permit from
any ENHANCEMENT in European politics
The United States having declined to
join In the commission however, the porte
was obliged to yield to the extent Of per
hitting the European governments to name
the commissioners. Up to this point the
government had been in doubt as to the
reality of the reported outrages. The Turk
ish government had declared positively that
the Armenian affair was nothing but re-
beiliOn which had been suppressed in a
legitimate manner. There had been a bat
tie, some sixty or seventy Turkish soldiers
had been killed and the rebels had lost
about 500 or 600 men. But at this juncture
came reports from trusted agents dlScredit-
ing the official reports of the Turkish
government and affording reason for the be-
lief that the Armenians had been terribly
outraged. Then Great Britain appealed to
the United States. in the interest of abso-
lutte justice. and to insure a report above
suspicion and beyond contravention by the
Turks themselves. 10 appoint a member of
the commission of inquiry This appeal
turned the tide and induced the president
to reconsider his first decision
As the signatOry powers Of the Berlin
treaty at the close Of the Turco- Russian
war had bound themselves to look after
the welfare of Christians in Turkey, it
would have been an unwarranted inter
ference by the United States in the affairs
Of those countries had we taken any steps,
without solicitation from one or more of
these powers beyond caring for the in
terests of United States citizens In Turkey.
So when Turkey requested United States
Minister Terrell 10 name a member of the
commission of inquiry, the request was
for political reasons declined. Turkey had
naturally turned first TO the United States
as the only Christian power whose con-
illusions would be likely to carry weight
with the Christian world, upon whose alb
solute disinterestedness she could rely. The
great Christian nations of Europe were all
under suspicion of having designs upon
Turkish integrity, yet IL was necessary, In
order to stem the tide of rising indigna-
ton, to place a Christian on the commits
sion of inquiry, If its findings were to be
conclusive upon Europe.

Household Hints.

Powdered rice is said to be very eff
cacious il stopping bleeding from fresh
wounds
It is claimed that cistern water may be
purified by hanging in it a bag filled with
charcoal.
When the burners of lamps become
clogged with char put them in strong
soapsuds and boil awhile 10 clean them.
The creases can be taken out of velvet
and the pile raised by drawing it across
a hot iron over which a wet cloth has
been spread. If there are pin marks over
which the pile refuses to rise. brush it
up with a stiff brush and steam it, re-
peatilg the operation several times.
Cleaning WOOlwork-If the woodwork is
not much soiled stretch II on a frame and
wash ii over with a quart of water into
which a tablespoonful Of oxgall has been
dropped. If mucn soiled wash with gin
and soft soap in the proportion of
quarter of pound Of soap to half pint
Of gin. When carefully washed stretch the
side while it is still damp. II the wool
work is only faded and not dirty stretch ii
in frame and sponge it with a pint Of
warm water into which soap the size of a
walnut has been dropped and a teaspoon
full Of Oxgall. Wash out the mixture by
sponging the work over with plain warm
water and leave in the frame until il is
perfectly dry.
The Hands-In order to preserve the
hands soft and white they should always
be washed in warm water, with fine soap,
and carefully dried with a moderately
coarse towel. being we'll rubbed every
time, 70 insure a brisk circulation, than
which nothing can be more effectual in
procuring transparent and soft sur
face. If engaged in any accidental pur-
suit, which may hurt the color of the
hands, or If they have been exposed to the
sun, a little lemon juice will restore their
whitenesS for the time. and lemon soap
is proper to wash them with. Almond
paste is Of essential service in preserving
the delicacy Of the hands. The following
Is serviceable pOmade for rubbing the
hands, on retiring to rest: Take two
ounces Of sweet almonds; beat with three
drachmS of Spermaceti. beaten up care
fully in rOsewater. Gloves should be al
ways worn on exposure to the atmosphere,
busting About Stoves-A good deal of
busting around coal stoves and open fires
may be done to advantage with damp
sponge An experienced housekeeper uses
a large, coarse sponge, once devoted to
washing carriages. Throw It into a pail
OF warm water. and add a teaspoorifui Of
spirits OF ammonia Squeeze II out as dry
as possible and pass 1t quickly and lightly
over the plain furniture, the paint, the
zinc, the corners of the carpets, the OIL
cloth, etc, rinsing out occasionally. It
will remove every bit Of dirt, and not
merely dispense 1t into the room, as a
cloth or feather buster too often does and
leave a bright. shining clear surface that
is very gratifying. While you have the pail
IN hand you will find 1t easy TO wipe OFF
finger marks or traces of that CRIME which
seems to come, no one knows how. in
winter. You give cleansing touch here
and there to doors. cupboard shelves. or
tables, and very little loss of time and
without any Of that deliberate effort re-
quired for regular cleaning.

ST. PAUL. Dec. THE fact has tustf
been published that in the archdiocese OF
st. Paul catholics may join any secret
society except the masonic order. This
has been known for some time, but not
generally. Judge Kelly Of the district
court has just Joined the knights OF
Pythias. although he is one OF the most
prominent catholic laymen In America,
and considerable talk among secret society
members has resulted. Other prominent
catholics are also Joining. One Of them, a.
catholic, said today:
Archbishop ireland has decided that
catholic may join any secret order ex-
cept the masonic, that catholics are at
liberty to do as they please in that regard. /
The public announcement Of the fact has
not been made. but there is the best OF
authority for the statement, and Il is gen.
orally understood among catholics. Mgr.
Ravoux gives it as a fact"
There can be no doubt Of it. as those
who are now joining the secret orders are
earnest catholics of dignity and standing
1t is well known that Archbishop Ire
land is a very liberal cleric. and has not
hes.tated to take the matter TO Rome.
The ban Of the church has tended TO bar
catholics from the fellowship found in
secret societies and some have held for
no cause, as there are innumerable social
and benevolent societies in the United
States which could not justly be deemed
in conflict with the policy OF the holy see.
Archbishop Ireland, in an interview with
an Associated Press representative, to-
night said:
THE question whether catholics should
belong TO secret societies, such as the
Sons of Temperance. Odd Fellows, Knights
of Pythias. or not is now being considered
by the authorities az Rome and a decision
will be given soon. In the meantime the
will do we'll not 20 seek member
ship in these societies"
II is stated on the part Of those catholics
who Joined these societies that each case
is considered by itself and a special re-
quest made for each to the authorities.
