Our Fair Letter.
Special correspondent 1sD.rrsDrsr.,

DAN ERANCIsCo, April. lO.-The
Midwinter Fair has just about reach
ed the height OF perfection. The
lawns have become beauti6ed by the
appearance Of grass, end blooming
flower beds have been accustomed by
sthe FREQ use Of time, skill, water and
above all superb weather.
Early visitors might have gone
home with the assumption that the
Fair Is atraud, hardly anything was
TO be seen and what was had gloomy
appearance on account. If the dismal
surroundings, but il they were to
come FROM great distance, why did
they not wait until about this ii me
and then go home with glowing &C.
count Ut the Fair, feeling that they
had received the value of their money,
and become improved both in body
and mind,
BY observing the actions Of foreign
visitors and also those from the East
ern States We will notice that they
do not come, here for the purpose of
seeing works of art or the wonder
full power Of electricity. Neither do
they come to see jewelry, farming i'm
plements or manufactures of any
kind for they can see all these to
better advantage by stopping at home
What they do come here for is to see
the wonderful production, of the
Western States. These visitors have
heard considerable about us and want
to see for themselves, 80 it is no
wonder that they pass by their own
exhibits and utter ordinations of
surprise at ours. For instance, an
Fastener will go to the 40 Mining
Camp aud stay hours at q time, he
will go second and a third time,
paying little attention to an exhibit
from his own state, for the latter is
to him what might be called an old
story, while the former is entirely new
and novel.
The management is trying to make
the Fair as attractive end inviting as
possiblef (saying nothing about the
fifty cents admission fee) There
have been several concessionary
parades also open air athletic exer-
cises and performances which would
entirely discount any circus show.
Sousas open air concerts have great
magnetic powers in the way Of at
trnction~ also the Vienna Prater
Orchestra which discourses very fine
music. The prospective Mardi Gras
also the Mayday celebration are days
OF festivity yet TO come As the in
terest is growing and the attractions
more pleasin. the Fair is bound to
become. more accessful every day.

articles from the highest art to the
most common ware. such rare
mechanical workm anship and ancient
treasures are not often seen in this
part OF the country, as general rule
the English people keep their rare
curios at home. 1t is safe to say that
il a person does not see them he may
never get the chance again. Such
relics as belonged to Shakespear, an
old minstrel harp and personal effects
Of Mary, Queen of Scott are not fire.

HEBREW REFUGE IS.

LONDON, Dsc. 28.-The Jewish Chron.
ice publishes letter from correspon-
dent who is acquainted with the views
of official circles in Russia, in which the
writer declares that if the Hebrews OF
Western Europe displayed more pa
tience and confidence in the good inten.
tions OF the Russian government. t hey
would find the czar's advisers az anxiou 8
as themselves to ameliorate the con =
dition OF the Hebrews. The iudigna-
tion meetings in London have injured
the Jewish cause more than all the anti.
Semitic agitations. Orders ere private
ly issued year ago for the modification
of the rigorous application OF oppres-
sive laws, and it is intended to make
further CONCESSIONS. But the problem
is gigantic one. and ia complicated by
regrettable eocisl conditions, which a
mere decree of social rights would be
quite Intellectual in curing; therefore
reform can only be gradual.
The question OF new apppointments
in the government Office directly affects
lug the Hebi ews has been discussed, but
nothing has been decided on. The
Jewish Chronicle notes that since the
letter was written its cautious optimism
has been confirmed by the changes made
in the governorships of Warsaw and

Another Outbreak is Feared by the
Settlers.
Some OF Gsronimo's Band Are Charged

By THE HERALD's Leased Wire1
Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 28.--A Mexican
sheep herder. employed by Thomas
Hopkins, near the old Banning stage
station, between Tom bston and Bisbee,
was taken to the latter place last night
suffering from a gunshot wound through
the thigh.
He says that in the afternoon while
alone looking after sheep he was startled
by seeing five mounted indians suddenly
jump from behind small group OF mess
quites.
FIRED ON BY APACHEs.
He took to his heels and the red skins
opened fire on him, only one OF the
shots taking effect. He managed to
escape from the Apaches. however. and
joined several other herders a half q
mile away from the scene of the shoots
fng, who took him to Bisbee for medical
treatment.
An old Apache trail unused for many
years leads through that section, and the
mans story ia generally believed. A
posse ia now in pursuit.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK FEARED.
In the opinion of old-timers this bold
attempt at murder is but starter for q
serious Indian trouble. Part of Geroni-
mos band of Apaches has been returned
to the San Carlos reservation. their old
stamping grounds. and while they have
been there only a short time they are
beginning to act in way that is caus.
ing settlers considerable alarm.

FLED IN THE NIGHT.
A YOUNG ARMENIAN ESCAPES
TURKISH TORTURE.
The Flight Was Attended With Great
Danger and Was from
His College.

New YORK, Dec. 2S.-The most inter
esting immigrant at Ellis island last
night was Diogenes Meniphe. young
Armenian who escaped from the fury OF
the Turks just in time to save his life
and was about to be sent home as an un-
desirable immigrant when his case was
reviewed by the immigrant officials and
he was discharged. Meniphe is only IS
years Of age. He was a student at the
Armenian college at Marzovan, Armenia,
and after seeing 20 of his school COM
panions murdered and two of the college
professors Imprisoned and sentenced to
death he determined to escape if pos
sible. and quit the town by stealth. He
is bright young man. This stood him
in good stead when he reached Con.
stantinople. for he succeeded in deceiv
ing the authorities in believing him q
foreigner. His parents are in the en-
ploy Of the American Bible society, and
being under the protection of the Ameri-
can flag are never moles:ed. They fur
nished him with money to come here,
but he had only SIS when he landed and
thus came under the prohibited class.
His fight from Marzovan. he said,
. was attended with great danger. The
whole town was patrolled with Turkish
soldiers, and when they had nothing else
to do they cent delegation to the college
to examine a student. This consisted in
taking him from the protection OF the
college, tying stone around his neck
and throwing him into the river.
Twenty of the students. he said, had
been murdered in that way in Two
years. Two Of the professors had been
arrested and taken to prison, where,
after mock trial, they were sentenced
to death. Previous to the passage OF
thia sentence, Mr.. Merrick, an English
professor at the college, appealed di-
rsctly to his country for interference in
behalf of the two men, which was
promptly given. Their release was de-.
manded and speedily granted. The
Turkish soldiers would visit the
college, armed with an order for EXAM
ination, which the college authorities
were compelled to honor. The return
of the students thus taken from the
college was always promised, but the
promise was never kept. Two of the
college buildings were burned by the
soldiers,
