Home. Mrs. Fisher was one of Oakland's
best-known and most widely respected
schoolteachers, and after her death, over
three months ago, her many friends de-
cided that memorial in consonance with
her unostentatious nature and her love of
the methods OF the Salvation Army would
be the furnishing a room at the Buelah
Rescue Home.
The work was undertaken on the dining
room and was under the direction of her
daughter Miss Lucy Fisher. Bruce Por-
ter, a San Francisco artist, offered his SER
vices, and the result of their united labor
has been most homelike and delightful
spot. The walls are tinted in a pretty
warm color and here and there are pic
lures artistically arranged. Between the
center windows rich panel supports q
portrait of Mrs. Fisher. Bookcases and
coy rugs are scattered around and the
inmates of the rooms have more hand
some dining-room than is enjoyed by
many wealthy families around the bay.
Yesterday afternoon the pretty room
was accepted and dedicated by the Saliva
ton Army. Mrs. Major Keppel led the
exercises and within the room were many
OF the loved teachers friends, relatives and
pupils.
Many grand and warm tributes to the
memory of the deceased were spoken by
those present, among them Mrs. Fishers
daughter 1t was very impressive, quiet
service. and as Mrs. Keppel spoke OF the
sweet disposition of the departed and of
the worthy purpose to be served by the
memorial, there were many moistened
eyes.
There are several rooms at the home and
the army is anxious to have them fur
nished, SO that they can enlarge their
sphere of work.

He assumes that every officer In the

description by an eyewitness OF Mooshir
Pasha's march of blood"
MOoshir Pasha Is the Military Governor
of the city OF Erzerjan. and started. by
order Of the Sultan. into the Sassoun Dis
trict last September. Innumerabie
burned villages and 1888 lives were the
price OF his official visit:
MOOSH, ASIA MINOR, January L.
The number OF our dead countrymen in
the four towns visited by Mooshir Pasha
will not be far short of 1900. This IL
from the bodies counted and known to
have perished We cannot tell how many
Others there may be.
The first town entered by Mooshir was
Shinik. 1t contains four villages
Sbinik, MeZra, kootock, and Dopy. When
our people here heard OF the arrival Of
the Pasha, Friar Johannis, with 30 OF
the leading townsmen, went TO meet
him to beseech him to have mercy upon
them. They were surrounded by SOL
diers long before they could get to
Mooshir Pasha, and every one was killed.
Their bodies were put in the church and
burned. Then they proceeded TO burn
the villages. The number killed from
rest OF the villages Those who escaped
are now in the villages surrounding this
town, but the villagers are themselves
very poor. and many go hungry.
Mooshir Pasha left Shinik to so to the
next town In the Sassoun District. This
town Is Alyan, and has fourteen villages.
The people heard of his coming. and
how that he had twenty-four companies,
each OF 40 men. besides twenty-three
cannon. They knew that Il was use
less to appeal TO him, SO they fed TO the
village OF Chi. where. because OF tho
rocks and steppes. they could better es-
cape him. They stayed In the noun
tains for almost twenty DAYS. and when
all food was gone and there was ro-
thing left TO do they fed az best they
could. Two thousand bodies were left
behind At CHIT
