A MAssACHUsETTS man swallowed
lot of silver and an exchange charges
him with being a gold bug and bent on
contracting the currency. 1t thinks the
rascal must have been in the pay of the
m)ney sharks to thus attempt to deprive
the country of the necessary circulation.
The rascal was from Massachusetts, and
we are pleased to be able to state that
he is dead and will not be able to assist
in creating monetary panic. His fate
will be discoaraging to others, and that is
some satisfaction.-Eu Times.

"oREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN."

At North Haven, Conn, little or

old, lived and worked in the family of
Mr. Gordon. The people Of North Ha-
ven cross Peconic bay to Shelter island
to make their household PURCHASES
They usually travel on the ferryboats
But during the cold weather the bay
was frozen completely over, and it was
necessary to cross to Shelter island on
the ice on foot
One day after the weather had mod
Grated slightly Lillian McMullen took
her employers little children, 8 and 10
years of age, and walked across on the
ice to Shelter island. They did their
trading and were returning home. Halt
way across Lillian stepped into an air
hole and went into the water The two
little girls tried to help her out, but the
ice broke, and they went down, too, in
to the chilling water. Lillian gave up
irving to save herself and thought only
of the children. She held fast to the
edges of the ice. AS one piece broke,
she grasped another and held on. She
told the girls to climb upon her shout
ders and get upon the firm ice. They
did so, and at length both were safe.
Then she ordered them not to come
near her any more. Then, weak and be-
numbed and nearly frozen, she lost her
hold and was borne rapidly away I'M
der the ice, to be seen no more alive.
Greater love hath no man than this
that he giveth his life for his friend. "

THOSE ATROCITIES.

Alleged to Have Been Committed on
Armenian CHRISTIANS, Largely y Mass of
Exaggerations = Ono of the European
Delegation Declares That There is No
Evidence to Support the stories OF
Wholesale MAsB1cres Sent Out.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-The correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette in Constan-
tinople sends an interview with Eu-
ropean delegate attached to the COM
mission of inquiry, which has been
conducting an examination at Sassoun
into the alleged atrocities committed
in that part of Armenia The dele
gate declares that the statements
of the press correspondents in re-
gard to the atrocities, especially
those of Mr.. Dillon in the Daily
Telegraph. of London. and his
English contemporaries, are gross ex-
aggerations. When the report of the
commission is published. he says. it
will be found that the number of
killed in the fighting attending the
capture of the villages of Semal.
ShemalS, Chelighuzan and in the fight
ing elsewhere did not exceed from
300 to 500. There is no evidence,
says the delegate, that numbers

blood or that there was any mutt
lation of women and children. The
finding of forty bodies buried in a pit
at Chelighuzan, out of which the cor
respondents made SO much capital, as
well as the story of women throwing
themselves over cliff to escape dis
homer, was absolutely fictitious. The
report of the commissioners, the dele
gate asserts, will also disprove all of
the stories of wholesale massacres
and violations of women, and show
that only a flying column of Turkish
regulars operated against the Ar
menians, who were well supplied with
firearms.
The correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph Co. at Constantinople wires
that the report of the commission of
inquiry sitting at Sassoun will entirely
discredit the sensational stories of
massacres, violations, ETC., which have
been so persistently circulated. In
stead of 10000 Christians having
the report will show that the
disturbed district, Moslem and Chris
tian, did not exceed 1000. It will also
be shown that the Armenians, instead
of being remorslessly butchered while
in a condition of helplessness, being
unarmed, were we'll armed and made
a most spirited stand against
the troops. The stories of the
depredations and horrible cruel
ties of the Kurds in the conflicts
are pure fiction. as there were no
Kurds engaged in any of the battles.
In short, the correspondent says, the
whole affair has been most grossly ex-
aggerated, the absolutely baseless
stories of horrible butcheries being in
vented by Armenian lying, and in
spired by political motives.

NOT A CANDIDATE
Ex-Secretary Whitney Says He Is Not
Candidate for the Presidency

Ex-Secretary Whitney Says He Is Not .
Candidate for the Presidency
CHICAGO. Oct. 5.-A Washington
special to an evening paper says:
Ex-Secretary Whitney. when his
name was suggested for the presidency
by southern democratic senator one
day this week, said:
Your kind mention of my name in
connection with the presidency is very
gratifying, but have no desire to be
considered a candidate. In fact.
shall not become candidate, and if
thought it should become necessary
for me to make public statement to
that effect I would do SO in the daily
press. The democratic party does not
lack for men of ability and statesman
ship from whom to select leader.
Whenever the party gets together and
its now somewhat discordant elements
are unified on general policy-then
the right man will spring up to lead
the way to victory"
The southerner came back from
New York and repeated what Mr..
Whitley said to him. It created some
surprise and comment here, where
Whitney has been put down as fore
most in the list of active aspirants for
the democratic nomination.

ouN.s COMMERCIAL REVIEW

Covering Transactions for the Third Quar-
ter of 1895. and Compositions with Other
Years-Astonishin. Improvement In Some
Branches, Though with = Failing On In
Others which Certain Branches of In
dustry Begin to Feel.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-R. g. DUN &c Co.
in their weekly review of trade issued
to-day say:
Commercial failures in the third
quarter of 1895 were 2,792, with liza bill
tiles of $50, 167, 179, averaging S11, 521
about IS per cent. more.
Highly important comparisons of
prices this. week show about Octo-
Der 3 the lowest range ever known for
wholesale prices of all commodities.
Under the appropriate headings are
given details of the different prod.
ucts with their cause, the most i'm
portant being the unprecedented crop
of corn and oats. larger crop of
wheat than false representations led
| the world to expect, an enormous de-
| mand for manufactured goods to re-
plenish depleted stocks when prices
began to raise, and decrease in yield
of cotton.
The cotton market has mounted
above cents and holds, in spite of re-
aliZing, but as the crop is late and
quite largely held back, does not yet
feel the influence of the receipts nat
| ural at this date.
Wheat is shade weaker, while west
ern receipts have been 6, $50, 4e4 BUSH
els, against 4,4S7. 104 last year, while
Atlantic exports have been only 1885,
179 bushels, against 2. 791, 4s9 last year.
Reports from other cities at the end
of the quarter are highly cheering in
facts recorded. and reflects hopeful
spirit. Beyond question the quarter
has shown astonishing Improvement in
| some branches, and retail distribution
! has generally been good, though not
| commensurate with speculative whole
| sale purchases, as prices were rising.
Hence there is marked decrease in
buying, which some branches of in.
| dustry begin to feel.
Railroad earnings for nine months
| are analysed on another page, show

| each month compared with 1894 and
| 1892, every month showing some ag-
gregate gain this year over 1894, though
not in all classes Compared with 1892,
all classes fall beyond each month.
September shows gain of So per cent.
| over last year, but loss of 1879 per
| cent. compared with 1892.
The Pennsylvania has ordered 40, 900
tons of steel rails, and other roads
| $1,000, but the steel makers having
| bought their pig, Bessemer is lower,
and also gray forge, and the demand

smaller, so that the average of iron

Coke workers gain 6 per cent. more

The market is stronger with heavy

MONEY FOR MISSIONS.

The ALI Absorbing Theme Mt the Episcopal
Conventional General Demand for More
Means-The Church In America Charged
with Neglect of Its Foreign Missionaries
Sympathy for Armenians-AG Good Word
for Texas.
for Missions" was the all-day theme OF
the two houses of the Episcopal con-
vention, and which, in accordance
with the constitution, sat together as
the general board of missions yester-
day. The fathers of the church told
of the work that had been done, OF
the difficulties surrounding it, and
of the need of finances with
out stint. and ministerial recruits
without number, to the end that
the church, both abroad and at home
might be pushed forward in the name
of the Master. The majority of the
narrations bristled with criticisms of
the failure of the American church to
adequately hold up the hands of it's
representatives in other lands.
After the adoption of a resolution
commendatory of Gov. Culburson and
the Texas legislature, voluminous
printed reports on foreign and do
mestic missions were presented in be-
half of the board for managers. 1t
showed that the gross receipts of the
board for the year were, including the
balance of last year and a personal
loan Of sos, 900 from Mr.. George Bliss,
S7s4, 500, and the disbursements S716,-
27s, leaving a balance of $685. in
hand on September l.. The loan from
Mr.. Bliss had been returned. The re-
port of the WOmen's auxiliary showed
that it had collected S167,64 for the
fiscal year, of which 800, 1913 had been
disbursed without coming into the CEN
trail treasury.
The report was referred to commit
tees. and then the missionary bishops
were presented in regular order.
Bishop Ferguson, of Africa, colored
man, protested that the church had
not done its duty in regard to foreign
missions.
Bishop Graves. of China, was next
presented, and made an appeal for
money.
Bishop McKim. of Japan, said that
the war had taught the Japanese a
lesson, for there were hundreds of
Christians in the front of battle. and
the way they fought was known all
over. 1t was now recognized that a
man was no less Japanese because he
had become a Christian.
The work of the colored commits
sioner was represented by Bishop Nell
son. of Georgia. He said that his do
cese was 90 per cent. missionary. and
yet the total moneys received last year
for the building up of this jurisd lotion
only averaged seven and half cents

Episcopal church was the onlyone maxi

While 1t Rained.

It was near midnight of the fifty day
out, and all was peaceful aboard the
ark. Wearied by his labors in feeding
the animals and navigating the vessel,
Noah was wrapped in a; profound
sleep, and his deep, regular snoring
seemed to impart q rythmical cadence
to the sound of the rain that beat in
cessantly upon the deck planks just
above his head. Suddenly there was
commotion among the animals. One
of the tigers had succeeded in thrust
ing his paw through the galvanized
iron wire partition that separated him
from the hyena. and had dug his claws
into that interesting creatures hide.
There arose fierce cutlery, in which
all the beasts of prey in that part of
the ark joined, and the noise aroused
Noah into partial consciousness.

Confesses That the Liquor Question. as q
Whole, Battles Him.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-Mr. Gladstone has
written letter to the temperance
congress. in which he says:
while profoundly sensible of the
immense Importance of the liquor ques-
ton, I can not pretend that l have
mastered its difficulties. I see it clear
ly in certain of its aspects, but as
whole it battles me. I have
no doubt that the local option
principle is sound, but they must be of
very sanguine temperament who be-
lieve it is sufficient to dispose of the
entire question. The method of the
sale of liquor for public account which
exists in parts of Scandinavia, presents
great advantages, and if adopted here
ought to be adopted in its best forms.

lice supervisors and adequate taxation

Great Britain has withdrawn entire
~ her claim to the island as previous

contention that the republic of

and abandonment, and that, proceed
ing on this basis, now proposes to re-
vitalize the Harden-Hickey claim and

weights than ever before woven for
cold-weather gowns.
The new silks begin with black in a
score of different weaves, as black is
highly favored in the world of fashion
this season. French faille and peau de
sole of satin finish, with a demi-luster,
are the most reliable of the silk tex
lures with black-repped surface. and
they will be largely patronized, both
for costumes entire and for coats and
separate skirts. Dark Dresden and
Chine silks are brought out in rich
heather colors for autumn and winter
wear. These are very handsome and
make very stylish as well as service
able gowns. Soft-textured Liberty
satins are used for trimmings and for
demi-dress gowns. Many of these are
in lovely chameleon effects, and they
make ideal dresses trimmed with vel

in silk and silk and wool, are quite as
popular as they were last spring.
