one of the Most Ancient Races.

The Armenians are one Of the
most ancient races in the world.
Their country is mentioned by Memo
phon and Ezekiel and in the cunei-
form inscriptions of Babylon and
Assyria. All the nations that SUR
rounded them have passed away,
but they remain, though their
country has been harried with fire
and sword for centuries. The per-
manence OF the Armenian race has
been ascribcd to the virtue OF their
women and the exceptional purity
and stability OF their family life.
They have been Christian nation for
more than 1000 years and have un-
dergone perpetual persecution for
their faith from the surrounding
oriental peoples.

The young diver opened his eyes,

He made movement as If TO push

How tho Lady, His Patient. Msnaged .,
Keep ON with Her Opium.
This story comes to the New Yorl
Sun from one OF that city's best
known physicians. For reasons tina,
are obvious the proper name OF the
woman is withheld.
"She is q divorcee." the physician
said, "and Is quite we'll known In
society. She is good-looklng, clever
and rich, but for a long time wa:
addicted to the use OF opium. The
habit grew so strong that her rela
tives advised her to go to some
sanitarium for treatment. For @
long time she refused to do this, but
when they threatened to have her
confined in some asylum, she yielded
and came to our retreat.
.She brought a nurse with her. O
clever. bright-faced girl, whom she
paid $50 a week to wait on her. We
were all greatly surprised. as the
days went by, to note that she did
not seem at all depressed. as most
people are during the first few weeks
OF abstinence from the drug. She
seemed as bright and as cheerful as
on the first day. ] said to her once;
"'You don't seem to miss your
opium

! thought 1t did.
lone day, after she had been
there over u month, we discovered
by mere accident what had kept her
so cheerful. One OF our attendants
caught her in the act OF takin G
opium. When we asked her where
she had obtained the drug, she re-
fused, at first, to tell. After a little
urging, however, she told us that
she had brought lot of opium with
her.
1.-The matron searched her room,
and when she came to the office to
report she was almost speechless
with amazement. The woman had
hidden little packages of opium in
every conceivable part Of all her
dresses. There was opium in the
sleeves, in the ruffies, in the lace, in
the lining and in every pocket. There
was opium sewcd inside her garters
and in her undergarments. She
even had opium in the papers which
she used to curl her hair.
at was her maids duty, we
learned, to administer this opium to
her in such way that we would not
detect it. The young girl always
curled her mistress hair and took
care not to spill any OF the drug in
the curl paper.
, That maid was promptly sent
home. Her mistress was relieved of
all her clothing and was, supplied
with new dresses and placed in an
other room. For several weeks she
underwent the depressing expert
ence of all who break off the habit.
All her brightness and good nature
vanished for while. She is now
cured however, and is married
again"

The sight of professional diver
climbing down rope ladder into
the sea afforded certain amount of
entertainment to the people in the
boats, but, as there was nothing more
to be seen, they gradually rowed away
and left the schooner and its crew
alone at their strange search. BY dark
the diver had roughly traced out the
general direction in which the wreck
lay. He reported that in three places
in the soft ooze there were faint traces
of something that might indicate the
remains of the lost ship. The next day
the schooner had out four anchors in
different positions, and she had been
secured directly over the dead ship,
keel to keel. 1t was slow work, and
it was nearly nightfall before every
thing was in readiness for systematic
exploration of the wreck.
Capt. Breeze held several consulta-
tons with old men who remembered
the wreck, and with their aid the ex-
act spot where the bows of the ship
might have been when she went to
pieces was pretty clearly fixed. The
diver would begin there and walk all
over the bottom, thrusting sharp iron
rod deep into the ooze at every step.
1t was thought best to begin there, as
it was possible one of the anchors could
be found, or perhaps a part of the iron
work of the capstan.
A whole day was spent in this way,
ha cd no
iron bar sank easily into the mud and
through the sand below. 1t could even
be thrust through the 'rotting timbers
without much trouble; and, though he
had made out by this means the shape
of one end of the keel and parts of
two of the old ribs, he had found moth
ing more than fast-decaying wood and
fragment of old china plate.
The next day was steamer-day. The
New London boat came over to VIII
sons Holl only twice a week in winter.
Capt. Breeze invariably went to the
dock on these days, to see the few
travellers who might arrive, and
to get his Weekly Tribune,
on which his mental stomach had
bttil al lHtSc JtuIo'
This time he forgot his weekly and
remained on the schooner.
Love had become impatient. 1t must
do more than sit idle while others
worked. The diver brought up a
rusty hinge from an old chest, part Of u
door-knob, piece of broken iron
work, and a mug, black and discolored,
yet plainly stoneware mug, with
handles intact. If the diver could re-
cover such small things as these, there
was hope of more valuable discoveries.
He would himself go down and help
explore the wreck.
The Divers dress fitted him well. He
had had no difficulty, after a few
trials, in staying under the water for
half an hour at time, and soon be-
came quite an expert in thrusting his
iron rod-strange weapon to fight for
love!-into the oozy bottom of the sea.

MEDIA, PA, Oct 23.-The canvass in
Delaware county is developing new
features every day Last week the Re-
publican County Committee turned out
TWO of its members and followed this up
by forbldding the appearance of eX-
Collector Cooper on the stump, because
ho would not speak for the whole ticket.
Probably rs many as 5000 Republican
voters propose to vote against Judge
Clayton,and Cooper's friends are numer-
GUS among the Judges opponents. There
fore, the action of tho committee is
causing widespread dislike to the
methods of the Judges friends.
Another feature developed on Mon
day, when runner was abroad that the
printing Of the official ballots was to be
given 10 Congressman ltobinson's paper,
the Media Ledger, and also to Judge
Clnyton's paper, the Chester Republican,.
A vigorous kick by n prominent lawyer
ELECTED the reply that the contract had not
been given out, but yesterday at IA meet
ing Of the Board of County Commission
ers q resolution was voted down requir-
ing bids to be properly made and
security furnished for the faithful per-
formance of the work, and, thereupon,
the majority commissioners, who are
henchmen OF Judge Clayton and Con
gresham Robinson, gave the work out
to Messrs, R0binsons and Clayton's
papers without any stipulation what
ever us to the prices to be charged.
Last spring the tickets were printed
by Congressman Robinson for nearly
5000, while bona tide bid by u first
class firm for 800 was utterly ignored.
The minority commissioners protest
amounted TO nothing. In view of this
fact, the Taxpayers Of Delaware county
realize that they are likely 10 pay
Messrs. Clayton and Robinson whatever
price they may see fit to charge after
the election is over, and the popular
opinion is that the majority commits
sioners will order to be paid any bill
that will be rendered.
These facts, together with discredit-
able record on the bench, make the de-
feat OF Judge Clayton not only possible,
bat certainty.
