THE OLDEST PEOPLE.
Armepians Claim to Have Given Chris
tianity to the World-Garden of Eden.


tianity to the World-Garden of Eden.
Washington Letter in Chicago Record.
The Armenians claim that their country
was the birthplace of the human race and
that their nation was the first to embrace
Christianity. The garden of Eden is sup
posed to have been situated in Armenia,
among the highlands between the Euph-
rates and the Tigris rivers. which have
their source there Here, too, Noah is be-
lieved to have landed after the food in
the mountains of Ararat, and the old
mines, midway between Trebizond and
Erzeroum, have been identified by some
scholars as the Ophir whence Solomon
fetched the gold TO decorate his temple.
The people claim to be the oldest on the
earth, and that Togarmah, the son of Co
mar, the son of Japheth, the son of Noah
(see Genesis x, -, was their first ruler.
They claim to be the House of Togarmah"
that is referred to so many times in the
Bible. have no space to give a, detailed
history of the country, although it is of
absorbing interest, but from the landing of
Noah to the coming of Christ, because of
its geographical location and remarka bic
fertility il was the battle-ground of all the
warriors who fought for the control of
Asia Minor. For centuries Armenia was
an Independent and influential nation. For
centuries 1t was province or principality
of one or the other of the surrounding en-
pires, but its people were never permitted
to live at peace. Tigranes, one of the
heroes of Armenian history, aided Cyrus,
the Persian king in the overthrow of Bah
ylon, and his successor in turn was con-
quered by Alexander the Great Then the
Romans spread over western Asia and
Mark Antony reduced Armenia to vas
salage and carried the kings in chains to
Egypt few years before the Christian era
began. Alexander, a son OF Mark An
tony and Cleopatra, was governor of the
country when Christ was born Then the
old dynasty was restored and Abgar, a
gradson of Tigranes the Great, was placed
upon the throne.
It was this Abgar who is said to have
sent messengers to Jesus shortly before

Patti is really about to say farewell, but
another will bear her name and seek to fill
her place upon the operate stage. For
some time the chatelaine of Craig-y-Nos
has been coaching her niece, whom she
hopes to make the inheritor of her laurels.
The divas precious words of counsel,
however, probably relate to the business
side of a singers life rather than to the
artistic. Nine. Patti has always been in
tensely practical. Even when she was a
child it is said, she would never sing I'M
less a doll or some sort of reward were
given to-her in advance.
Her love of adulation and applause has
been Unsuitable and in the earlier years of
her career she would refuse to sing if on
arriving in a city she did not meet with
the enthusiastic reception which she
deemed her due. AS a consequence, her
manager, Schurmann, was frequently
driven to despair and then to deception
in order to pacify her.
Once they anticipated a cold reception
at Bucharest, but the singer was agreea-
bly, surprised at being met at the rail-
way station by a crowd of Roumanian
gentlemen, who seemed delirious with Joy
over her arrival. Her rage was terrible
when she learned a few days later that
they were the supernumeraries from the
theater, which her willy manager had ar
ranged for in advance.
On another occasion che met with cold
welcome at Madrid. and, furious, threat
ened to quit ungrateful Spain at once.
Schurmann knew that the advance sale
had been large, and that they would
have a good house next day, so he hastily
procured a lot of coroneted visiting cards
bearing the names of the most aristocratic
members of the Spanish nobility and left
them at his stars hotel, after ornament
ing each with the most f1attering compli-
ments. 1t was not until after she had
pitted Spain that the cantatrice learned
how her sojourn in that country had been
prolonged.
Once in Italy a musician whose poverty
prevented him from hearing the diva in
any other way entered the theater by
stealth and secreted himself in the seen
cry above the stage. During the perform
ance he lost his balance and fell.

tranquil smile as they picked up his body,

health for some time and his death
was not unexpected. He was in his

manufacturer, business which he
successfully followed for many years.
He took an active interest in State af-
fairs and in the sixties represented ST.
Adams in the legislature, and after
wards was State Senator.

lowing November. He served his
constituency faithfully and well, and
was twice reelected. In his death the
