She Preferred Death to Dishonor.

From the London Daily News.
The following is an example OF the So
called Armenian rebellion: The Handle
Kurds fell on Herfev, an Armenian village,
and asked that the beautiful daughter of the
priest be delivered to them. The girl. hear
ing that the villagers really intended to de-
liver her to them, in order to get rid of their
barbarities hid herself, and at night sue
ceeded in making her way, with her broth
er, toward Russian territory. When the
Kurds heard of this escape they followed
them. and overlook them in the mountains.
The brother and sister defended themselves
from behind a rock until they had fired all
their cartridges but two. The sister then
threw herself into the arms of her brother
and begged him to shoot her with one of
the cartridges, so that she might not fall
into the hands of the Kurds, nor see the
death of her brother, and that with the Sec
ond he should deliver himself also from the
hands of the Kurds. This was done. The
sister was killed. but the brother was taken,
half dead, and delivered to the Turkish au-
thorities. and is now in prison.

SMALLPOX PATIENT DEAD.
The Remains mt Once Inferred and
the Hospital Disinfected.

inc Nehiaihs NJ Once Inferred and
the Hospital Disinfected.
Remus Nelson, the smallpox patient, is
dead
He died this morning at 1918 O'Clock, in
the smallpox ward at the contagious disease
hospital, back of the jail Last night he
became delfrious, and DIR. hewitt was COM
PEELED to remain with him all night. This
morning he began to sink rapidly and died
without a struggle. DR.. hewitt told a re-
porter OF The Star this afternoon that Nell
son was the most pitiable sight he had
ever seen. Several days ago he lost his
sight, and his face and body was swollen
out of all proportions For two DAVIS he had
been unconscious. and was kept alive by
powerful stimulants administered hypo-
dermlcally. 1t was the worst case of small
pox he had ever seen.
AS soon is the patient died the health Of
ficer was notified, and Dr. Hammett gave
an order to Intendant Stoutenburg of the
washington Asylum to furnish coffin
Dr. Nevitt received the coffin, and with the
Assistance of Nurse Pemberton the dead
man was placed in it and conveyed to the
smallpox burying ground at the extreme
northeEster end of potters field. DR..
hewitt had taken the precaution to have
the grave dug several days ago, and into it
the body was lowered. About fifty gallons
OF bichloride solution was then poured in
and the grave closed.
AS soon as the funeral was over Dr.
hewitt ordered all clothing used by the
patient to be destroyed, and Immediately
set about fumigating the building. 1t will
take at least two days to do this, and then
the hospital will be put in thorough order
for the next patient.
This case emphasizes the absolute neces-
sity for hospital for contagious diseases -
said DR.. hewitt. EVERY city of any i'm
portance has place where contagious dis
eases can be treated, except Washington,
and the capital city should not be behind
In such matter. This old hospital is really
unfit for the proper treatment OF contagious
diseases. There are no facilities here to
carefully do the work, and IL an epidemic
should break out We would be practically
helpless"

The planting of young shad in the Co
lumbia river by the United States fish COM
mission some eight years ago has proved a
great success, as is evidenced by the fact
that shad weighing from six to seven
pounds each, many of them being filled
with roe, are now caught in great numbers
in the Lower Columbia. The Portland
markets are we'll stocked with them. Col.
F. y. Boutelle, United States army, writing
