Confirmed From Bulgaria.

LONDON, Nov ia dispatch to the
Standa I'd from Werna, Bulgaria, says
that despite the Turkish govern
ment's silence, facts have come out
which leave no doubt that massacre
of Christians has occurred on as great
scale as the butchery at Batok, Bull
garia, which sent a thrill of horror
through the civilized world. The
trouble began with the refusal of the
Armenians to pay tax on the plea,
possibly well founded, that the fire.
quent Kurdish raids had impoverished
them. A few troops were sent
to collect the taxes, but were
beaten. In the meantime the gov
ernor of Bitlis reported to the
porte that serious revolt had broken
out and obtained permission to send
all obtainable troops to the scene.
Marshal Zeki Pasha, commander of
the Fourth army corps, stationed at
Erzinger, was ordered TO proceed
there and direct operations. Before
the imposing array of regulars the
Armenians tamely submitted.
The governor of Bitils resolved to
make an example in order to prevent
a repetition of the revolt lie ordered
the troops to fire on the defenseless
people. The order was executed and
the soldiers only rested from their
labors when twenty-five villages
were destroyed and thousands of
their inha bitants killed.

posed to produce drowsiness. Put some

it at the lower extremity of the spine
This is particularly quieting to the
nerves. Do not use anything except a
rubber bag, or you will surely have a
damp cloth and rheumatism by morn

Do not use pillow. Relax every mus

water just before going to bed.
Lie on your face instead of on your

peared in bodice Of white brocade, one
sleeve of which duly matched the gown
material, while the other arm was in
oased in yellow velvet, softened BY q

an of the smart set had, with a bodice of
cherry colored velvet, the top of one arm
yelled in fringe of cherries and velvet,

A New Club For Women.

The Victorian club in London was es-
tablished by woman. She is now it's
president. Its purpose is giving salts
factory accommodation to women who
go to town for few days and providing
comfortable permanent homes for pro-
fessional women at moderate prices.
Subscriptions are on very low scale,
and women in town pay a guinea a
year, and members from the country
contribute only 10 shillings There is
no pecuniary responsibility incurred, so
the whole expense is within the limit of
a very modest income. Small rooms can
be obtained for half guinea week,
and meals can be served marvelously
cheap because there are so many MEM
bers. And the privilege of joining for
one month for 4 shillings is another adj
vantage the club offers. There are no
restraining rules to interfere with the
perfect independence Of the members.
They go out and come in when they
pleaseand have free Accession all the club
rooms. In fact, it is residential club,
founded on principles which must ap-
peal to every woman who earns her liv-
ing.

Brief History of an Edifce That Is Famous
In England.
Magnificent in its decay and q study
alike in its mass and it's details, Kirk
stall abbey was founded for the Cister-
clan order by Henry dc Laci in 1859.
Its founder had the rare felicity of see.
ing the work completed.
With his own hands he began the edi-
flee, and he gave unstinted aid in its
construction and in the promotion of its
religious work. and he did not rest con-
~. aS,t Until he saw on the meadow land
well organ M sn1 lbnnasstic establishment
The abbey proper, as seen today, is
but one out of series of buildings
erected as compact and Intervening
whole 1t was the opinion of Sir Gilbert
Scott that all the essential features of
the combined structure-the church,
the chapter house, the cloisters, the re-
fectory, the do11nitory and other build
ings. whose foundations at least may
still be traced, were the work Of one and
the same period and the same mem
struck, as it were, from single die. !"
Of no other important ecclesiastical
edifice Of the Norman or early English
period can as much be said. The abbey
became tho mausoleum of its founder.
In it he and his SOD were given sepul-
ture. For nearly four centuries the work
of the abbey was conducted with more
Or less influence.
Some Of it's heads made their power
felt in parliament, and the line OF their
succession had run to The twenty-ninth
abbot when the dissolution changed the
character and fortunes Of the place. The
monastery and the estate around it were
then granted by Henry VIII to Arch
bishop Cranmer and his heirs in ex-
change for other possessions
The grant was confirmed by Edward
vi, but in Elizabeth's time the property
had in some way reverted back to the
crown. 1t next passed to private owners
and was secured eventually by the Sa-
villes of Howley Hall, from whom it
was transferred by marriage to the
Cardigans
In the hands of the Cardigans it re-
manned until 1889, when ''the unexpect-
ed'' happened, and the abbey, with its
grounds, was purchased by Colonel ]. T.
North at the price of about $55, ZOO,
and by him handed over as q gift to
Leeds, his native town. Kirkstall abbey
is about three miles from Briggate and
is within the borough. - Cassell's
