Minister Terrell on Top.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Mr. Ter
rell, the United States minister to
Turkey, has successfully closed an
other international incident with
credit to himself. On September s
last the Turkish police bounced on
several native Armenians at Ain
dab on a charge of sedition. In
cidentally they undertook to search
the American college at that town
to discover papers bearing on the
conspiracy. Mr.. Terrell protested
that this should not be done, save
in the presence of himself or his
representative. The Turkish gov
eminent yielded to this point and
today Mr.. Terrell cabled Acting
Secretary Uhl that the search had
been made in the presence of Mr..
Riddle, his secretary Of legation,
that the parties arrested were eX-
onerated and the incident closed.

A NOVEL RACE
PROPOSED BETWEEN A cow AND
HORSE.
Can Go a Mile in Four Minutes and
Will Lower the Record.

PONTIAC, Mich, Oct. 22.-People
in Oakland county are discussing
a novel race, which occurred last
evening on the race track here, be-
tween a COW and horse. The race
originated in a banter between two
negroes, Edward White and Joseph
Russell, residents of Waterford
township. White is the owner of
high grade Durham COW, nine years
old, and about two weeks ago he
began to drive her hitched to a
cart. She soon developed startling
qualities and many owners Of good
horses, who tried to pass White,
have been compelled to take the
dust from the bovine's hoOfs. One
day Russell tried to pass White
with his sorrel mare. This led to
words, and finally White bet Rus.
sell $50 that the cow could beat the
horse on a half-mile trot or a half
mile walk. Russell accepted the
bet and the money was put up.
The cow was somewhat confused
by the shouts of the crowd and the
other striking contrast with her
familiar haunts, but she easily
made the half-mile in seven min
utes, the horse being a minute be-
hind at the wire. The half.mile
trot was also won by the COW with
out a effort in 3:07. White was
saving up his cows wind for the
race against time, which he had
advertised as the closing feature.
His shepperd dog, which kept close
behind the cart and seemed to feel
a weight of responsibility in the
race, was expected, as last resort
to bite the cows heels. This proved
unnecessary in the race with the
horse and the dog refused to do his
part in a race for time. White
claims, however, that she has trot-
ted a quarter-mile in four-minute
gait on a county road and promises
to lower that with a few weeks
training. The cow was driven in
regular harness and never made a
break.

ONE BULLDoZER
Throws Two Hundred People Out of
Work

"OEh'
WABASH, Ind, Oct. pa pecu-
liar damage suit has been filed in
the Wabash circuit court, designa-
ted to test how far contract be-
tween an employer and employe is
binding. The plaintiff is Nathan
Meyer, proprietor of hat works of
this city. When the works were
established in this city, three years
ago Oscar Busch, a printer, who
has charge of the file letter on the
interior Of hats, was brought from
New York City under contract to
do the work. He was paid $l5 a
week and two years ago his wages
were raised to SIS. A month ago
ne quit work and said he would
not return unless engaged for two
years at 500 a week. This was &C
coded to by Mr.. Meyer and writ
ten contract was drawn up and
sig ned. Friday night Busch sent
word that he wanted the balance
due him, as he did not intend
working any longer and check for
$50 was given him. Saturday
morning he did not appear and
when reminded of his contract
said it made no difference as he
was going east unless his wages
were raised to $25 a week. Mr..
Meyer declined to entertain this
proposition, and Bush not only re-
fused to come to the factory, but
restrained his assistant, insisting
that he be engaged at $25 per week
for six months. Payment was
stopped on the $50 check and a suit
for $4,000 was brought against
Busch. Meanwhile the factory
closed,s throwing 200 persons out
of employment and the work will
not be started until the latter part
Of next week, when a new printer
can be hired and brought here.

Turks at the Holy selpulchcr.

One of the most incongruous sights at tho holy sepulcher is the Turkish diyan just inside the entrance, on which a couple of Moslems recline, gazing with apparent indifference at the devout pilgrims who pass through the gate, but really scruti- nizing them with view to soliciting back sheesh. These men may be styled tho jailers of Christendom, for they possess the right of opening and closing tho Basil ica. This privilege has been hereditary in two families for centuries. To one of them belongs tho right of keeping the key of the gate and to the other one the privi- lege of opening it. When any one of tho three communities living inside the Basil ica desires the gate to be opened, serv ant is signaled to call the representatives of the two families. After long delay because an oriental is never in @ hurry except when he wants a favor-the two men appear. The gate can be unlocked only in the presence of the two, the old regulations prescribing the attendance of both, as the one holding the key is not al lowed to open the gate, and vice versa. After having performed their duty they repair to the divan and proceed to light the nargileh and fan the brazier upon which they make their coffee. Charcoal and coffee have to be furnished them by the fathers, besides stipend of money, the prico of all reaching about $1 for each opening The gate only remains open un- til about II o'clock in the forenoon. On festivals, whom any of the patriarchs make their solemn entrance, both wings of the gate arc thrown open, and the price of this ranges from s5 to Sl0, consuls and other distinguished visitors being expected to give extra backsheesh.- Ameri- can Review

Plating Aluminium.

The new German method of coating aluminium with other metals is regarded as of decided mechanical industrial value. The process consists simply in dipping the aluminium in solution of caustic potash or soda or of hydrochloric acid until bub- bles of gas make their appearance on it's surface at which stage it is dipped into a solution of corrosive sublinate to amalga- mate it's surface. After second dipping into caustic potash until bubbles of gas are evolved the metal is placed in a solution of salt of tho desired metal. A film of the latter is rapidly formed and is so firmly adhercnt that in the case of gold, silver and copper the plate can be rolled out or polished the appearance being of a most satisfactory character. When coating with gold or copper, it is an advantage first to apply layer of silver, and thus treated the aluminium may bo soldered with or dinary zinc solder.-New York Sun.
