E~HE "Pocket-in-a
i dress" question
seems to have
been very cleverly settled
by the man or women in
ventor whose brain con-
ceived the idea Of putting
the pocket in the skirt
and not in the dress at
all.
It's the best solution
of the problem yet.
The pocket is wide
and deep and strong, but
tons with a flap, SO things
cannot be lost out of if,
makes no bunch to dis
turb the fiji Of the dress,
doesn't sag and is easy to
find. These are virtues
enough to recommend it
and it is bound to have a
large sale.
A complete line Of
these pocketed Skirts,
made Of fine heavy black
moreen (there's nothing
better to make a skirt of
are on sale here today.

New York, May 12.-Cricor Manas-
sian has arrived in this city from Mar
seilles, accompanied by his wife and
child. The facts concerning Manas-
slams arrest and Imprisonment in
Turkey was published some time ago.
His deposition concerning the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
Turkish government will this week
be presented to the Department OF
State at Washington.
Mr.. Manassian, who is of Armenian
birth, became an American citizen IN
1898, after a residence of seven years
in the United States. His statement
is as follows:
''I left New York in July, 1898, and
went to my native city Of Tokat, T'ur-
key. In September the Vail Govern
or-GeneraD came to Tokat. l applied
to him about my passport, but he said:
You should not have became
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
Three days after, late in the evening,
seven Turkish soldiers came into the
house where l was with my wife and
child, and in spite of my protests that
was an American citizen, and that
they had no right to arrest me without
the information of an American Official
they compelled me to go, saying the
Vail wanted me. They took me to
prison. The next morning they put
me in chains and manacles, and an
iron around the neck, together with
two murderers who were in a dungeon
and then sent me in cart to Amasia.
From Amasia to Kovak they made me
WALK IN CHAINS
with the murderers five days, making
me sleep at night in dungeons in
chains. They brought me out occa-
sionally to ask if | still persisted in re-
naming an American citizen, and
when l said l did they took me to Jail.
At the end of two weeks l was sent as
a prisoner to ConstantinOple, in
Turkish steamer, and upon arrival put
in prison. The next day Minister Ter
rell was informed and l was released
