One of the most daring daylight
burglaries on record was perpetrat-
ed between the hours of 4 and 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the
residence of John w. Orth, 122 Thir-
teenth avenue northeast. Sneak
thieves secured an entrance to the
house and carried away nearly $1,000
worth of stuff, including silverware,
jeWelry, clothing, hats, caps and fur
niture. The family were away dur
ing the afternoon, and consequently
the house was unattended. Entrance
was effected by the thieves by break
ing a rear window. AS near as could
be learned last night no one noticed
the thieves about the house. At 6
o'clock, when the inmates of the
house returned, they found that it
had been burglarized. The burglars
had ransacked it from cellar to gar
ret, and must have put in nearly an
hour inside the house. Everything
movable of any value had been taken,
and the thieves had made a clean
sweep. The matter was at once re-
ported to the police An estimate of
the goods stolen could not be OBJ
tanned last night, but it included the
things previously mentioned. AS
near as could be estimated about
$1,000 worth had been stolen. The in
dicationS are that it was taken away
in wagon by the thieves.

Italian Ministers Speak of the Pol
lev of the Powers.

Italian Ministers Speak of the Pol
icy of the Powers.
ROME, Nov. 2S.-Important state
ments were made in the chamber of
deputies tonight by Premier Crispi
and by Baron Blanc, Italian min
lister of foreign affairs, concerning
questions of Italy's internal and for
eign policy, especially her attitude
toward Turkey, and incidentally the
attitude of the other powers.
Premier Crispi's statement was
long one, and was largely devoted to
the government internal policy. He
defended at length the Italian anti
socialist laws, and asserted that in
practice socialism differed little from
anarchy. He admitted that the pub
lis security was not ideal, but said
it was improving. Although he form
merly opposed the law of guarantees,
he now upheld it. This law could
not be revoked without leading to
internal disorders and foreign COM
plications. The Vatican now en-
joyed great freedom. The revival
of Catholic activity throughout a
great part Of the world, he argued,
was a matter for serious considera-
ton, showing that liberty existed
permitting religious societies to be
reconstructed on more solid basis.
Regarding Turkey, the premier stat
ed that the powers are in accord,
and he was confident that the peace
would not be disturbed. If it were
disturbed, however, Italy would not
repeat her old mistakes, and would
see her rights safeguarded.
Baron Blanc followed with a long
explanation of the Italian position on
the Turkish question. He denied
that Italy had attempted any iso-
lated action on this question, and
asserted that her endeavors through
out had been devoted to concerted
action by six powers. While the
European situation was good, the
minister went on to say, the con-
dition of affairs in the Turkish prov
inces remained troubled. The porte
had addressed to the powers re-
marks-if, indeed, they might not
be called reproaches-hopi there
by to delay matters at the risk of
again aggravating the situation.
1.-THE porte will commit an error"
Baron Blanc concluded, "if it thinks
the present situation can be solved

ONE THOUSAND DEAD.
Fearful Stories From the Blood
Covered City of Marash.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the Daily News
telegraphs to his paper that the en-
bassies there have learned that IN the
massacre at Marash, on Nov. IS, LOCO
persons were killed. The Christian
quarters of the town were burned
from three points. A letter received
here describing the previous massacre
says that before it commenced the
town crier ordered the Christian shops
to be opened, under a penalty for re-
fusal. 1t was then that the pillage
and murder began. All possibility of
rendering assistance to the Sassounites,
who were the victims of the outrage at
that point, has been ended. The Kurds
are Wiping them out of existence, and
have destroyed all the buildings which
have been erected by the expenditure
of the English relief fund. A similar
story comes from other places, where
the disturbances continue as badly as
ever.
A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Tel
egraph says that the proposed naval
demonstrate ton by the powers against
Turkey is now regarded as futile as
a restraining influence. The latest
news received from the interior of Tur-
key has a depressing influence on the
diplomatic circle. Reports have been
received that renewed attempts to
massacre the surviving Armenians at
ErZeroum have resulted in eight being
killed. Some of the priests, in sheer
despair, are advising their flocks to
save their lives by embracing Islam.

TURKS TERRIFY SYRIANS.
Danger of Il Bloody Outbreak at
Any Moment.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Daily News from Beyrout, dated Nov.
II, confirms the reports of the grave
state of affairs existing in Syria and
Palestine, and the repeated danger in
which the American mission has been
placed by the riotous demonstrations
of the Mussulmans. The dispatch adds
that the towns of Syria and Palestine
are flooded with Turkish soldiers, and
states that in the country between
Jaffa and Jerusalem there are $4,000
troops, all raised within the last TWEEN
ty days. The dispatch adds: Troops
arriving here bear the significant green
flag of the prophet instead of the Turk
ish flag. Jerusalem is crowded with
soldiers and troops are being stationed
in the tower of David, Pilates palace
and in the wilderness outside of the Da-
mascus gate. The ostensible purpose
of the troops is to subdue the Druses."

WITH SONG AND SERMON.
Thanksgiving Day ImpressiveIy
Observed.

A singularly impressive Thanksgiv-
ing service was celebrated last evening
at the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception. Music of the highest standard
had been used profusely to rake the
service more solemn and moe inter-
esting. The result --as-2 decided sue
cess.
The first and chief NUMBER of the
programme was Mendelssohu's immor-
tai Hymn of Praise" 1t was rendered
by fine array of vocal soloists, sup
ported by d, strong choir and by Danz's
orchestra. The presentation of the
great work was not faultless, yet it
was in a great many respects very
commendable. AS a rule, the Goloists
acquitted themselves with honor; es-
pecialIy might this be said of the So
prano, Mrs. S. V. Harris, who, through
the beauty of her voice as we'll as
through her skillful handling of it, took
a position ahead of the other singers.
The composition is rich in soprano solos
and duets for soprano and tenor and
on every occasion Mrs. Harris filled
her part in the most satisfactory man
ner. The first tenor, A. P. Quesnel,
was not quite as efficient. A good
technique did, however, much to re-
pair the shortcomings with regard to
natural strength.
The choruses must be deemed the
weakest points of the performances
The choir was numerically strong.
and seemed also to include some good
voice material but the orchestra was
altogether too strong for it.
The address of the occasion was de-
livered by Rev. Patrick Danehy who
displayed considerable patriotism in
his stirring effort. To him Thanksgiv-
ing day meant the celebration of re-
ligious freedom as attained by the
American people. The idea of such
service was old, but in few lands had
there been better cause for celebrat-
ing it than in this republic. The set
ting aside of day for national thanks
giving must be considered one of the
noblest duties of the chief executive
of the country. And as long as that
day was kept as it is, no one need
fear the loss of those grand landmarks
that our forefathers left US of relig
iousness, of faith, of reliance in the
Lord. The Americans have, and al
ways had much to be thankful for.
Especially ought they to be thankful
for those favors most often received,
and therefore less often remarked.
First, the Americans should be thank
full for their form of government,
which, in spite of human shortcom-
ings, must be considered the best In
existence. Secondly, the Americans
should be thankful for the men God
had raised to conduct that government.
The speaker mentioned number of
such men, showing the nation had been
doubly blessed in their persons, be-
| cause they were not only great lead
ers, but also morally spotless. .'And
| God be praised,' he exclaimed, "the
! race is not yet extant!"
The address was followed by Mo-
| zart's fine motette, '.Splendente te

events when we are face to face
with the atrocious deeds that have
provoked universal horror, and with
the peril of anarchy, to an outbreak
of which at any moment Europe can
not leave herself exposed"
Each foreign squadron in Turkish
waters was door open to civiliZa-
ton and beneficent influence to
those obscure regions where mixed
races were still deprived of the
guarantees promised by Turkey to
Europe. The porte would make a
mistake in exercising, even in re-
gard to the. additional guardships
asked by the powers. the privilege
accorded to it by the treaties to re-
strict naval protection in the pacific
interests Of the powers. Baron
Blanc was greeted with cheers as
he concluded.

QUICK DIFFERENTIATION.
Story on n Correspondent Who
Visited Armenia

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Mrs. Made
line Cole, of London, who is treasurer
OF the Woman's Armenian Relief asso-
citation in England, has communicated
to the American relief association her
distressing news from Van, Armenia.
The suffering described has been wit
messed by her correspondent, who has
been visiting during the past few
months eight of the fifteen districts of
the Van vilayet, or division, and three
other districts of Bitlis, and in doing
so covered nearly six hundred miles
on horseback. The correspondence
says:
I'VE visited the districts known as
Hoks, Cavash, Spargord, Khezan and
Gargar, the last three being in the Bit
lis viiayet. Hoks is very mountain
Gus section of the south of Van, con-
ta1ning eighty-three villages, with d to-
tai of 1,CC0 families, of which 600 are
still Christians. The narrow valley is
occupied by as many as fifty Kurdish
boys feudal chiefs) and twenty agnas
petty lords, to say nothing of their
horde of retainers. The Armenians are
worse than slaves, for they are denied
even the ordinary rights of humanity.
Spargord lies due west of Hoks. On
arrival we were informed that we were
The. signs of joy manifested at our
coming were unmiStakable. Some even
shed tears of joy at seeing us. The
poor, half-naked children, catching the
contagion of their parents happiness,
danced about us in glee. Women pray
ed where they stood and reverently
made the sign of the cross. In the
high valleys the crops are very scanty
and do not at all suffice the people
for winter use, SO that it has been the
custom of many of them to disperse
during the winter and earn what they
could In the cities and southern plains,
in Peris and In the Caucasus. But for
three years the government has not al
lowed them to leave their villages In
the meantime the enormous sums de-
manded for taxes have been made
larger and have been collected by such
methods of torture as could tax the
western mind to imagine. The money
demanded for taxes must be paid, the
only alternative being death, or what
is worse, Imprisonment in Turkish
hell. In vain does the dispairing man
plead for mercy in vain are the tears
and entreaties of the mother and chill
dren. They are only answered by cruel
blows and curses.
'Thn sad truth is that this part of
Armenia was never In worse condi-
ton. In the city very thin veneer of
better things is to be seen but In all
the villages. and especially in all the
outlying districts, the viliainous pro-
cess of eXternlinating the Christians is
going on at a frightful rate. A long,
cold winter, now almost here will in
crease the sufferings hundredfold and
the prospect is too horrible to contem-
plate"

We're given a treat by Sheriff Holm
berg for Thanksgiving day. In the
large west wing, the room which is
designated as the death chamber"
directly where the shadow of the
gallows will be cast by the gas lights
in the early morning when the next
execution takes place, was tastefully
arranged a long improvised table,
made out of plank, and covered with
snowy linen. All about it were
benches made from chairs and more
planks, making room for all the
boarderS to be seated at one table.
Close by, at a point where one of the
gallows uprights will rest, was a
smaller table, with provision made
for two people. The smaller table
was intended for Jailer West and
his special assistant, Lon Wheeler
On the long table, methodically ar
ranged, were eighteen tin pie plates,
as many tin cups and large spoons
of pewter. There was, in fact, a BAN
quet table spread for eighteen hun
cry prisoners. True, one of the eigh-
teen was not allowed to be present,
but his place was arranged, although
he was obliged to eat in his cage,
closely watched by his death watch.
At noon the outer doors were closed
and seventeen hungry men, who had
partaken very sparingly of breakfast
in order to leave plenty of room,
filed in and looked eXpectantly at the
table. This is what they ate:
Roast turkey with cranberry
sauce, mashed potato, Drowned sweet
potato, sweet corn, celery, pickles
and pumpkin pie. After dinner they
were allowed to sit in the room, dis
cussing Jail gossip and smoking the
cigars given as an added treat.
Even in that dark and gloomy
place, where there is probably as lit
tie to inspire hope or cheerfulness as
in any place in Minneapolis, the
spirit which is infectious on Thanks
giving day was present, and men who
are generally morose and downcast
made merry as if they had no past
misdeeds or present troubles to

Uses to Which Broken Glass and
Old Bones May Be Put.

New York Times.
When a tumbler or other glass vessel
is broken, do you think it's usefulness
is gone? It is not by any means. 1t is
tossed into the ash barrel, indeed, but
it is pretty sure to reappear in another
form on the table. In making glass 1t
is usual to melt the metals together
with a quarter or half their weight of
"cullet''-that is, broken glass of the
same kind. This uses up great guam
titles of broken glass which the rag
pickers carefully sort out from the bar
rals and dumps. Some of the coarsest
glass is melted and colored in the paste.
When it is cold it is broken into lrreg-
ular pieces and sold for cheap mosaics
in the decorations of shops, Whlle
broken bottles are ground up to make
sand or glass paper.
Bones have a long career of useful
ness after they are discarded from the
kitchen. Ground to dust they make
English dying establishments. bones
are boiled to get the gelatine, or size,
for stiffening goods. Something's bones
are boiled and bleached and then sent
to the turner's to be made into knlfe
handles, toothbrushess nailbrushes and
with other things they are used as
