SLAUGHTER OF ARMENIANS.
Fully Fifteen Thousand Persons
Were Slain.
ACTS OF SOLDIERS.
Orders to Spare No Man, Woman
or Child Were Strictly =
Obeyed.

Boston, Jan. IA letter just received
in this CITY from point near the seat OIL
the outrages in Eastern Turkey places the
number of slaughtered Armenians at fully
$4,000. 1t is written by man in whom
the fullest confidence is placed and por-
tions are terrible to repeat. The letter in
part says:
".The Armenians. oppressed by Kurds
and Turks, said. We cannot pay taxes to
both Kurds and the Government
."Plundered and oppressed by the Kurds.
they resisted them, and there were some
killed. Then false reports reached Con-
stantinople that the Armenians were in
arms and rebellion. Orders were sent to
the Mushier at Mua Erzegan TO terminate
them. The order read before the Armen-
ian army collected in haste from all the
chief tribes of Eastern Turkey was:
Whoever spares men, women or children
is disloyal'
'The region was surrounded by soldiers
and 10000 Kurds also are said:to have been
massed there. They; then advanced on the
center, driving in the people like flock of
sheep and continued thus to advance for
days.
Nho ElfOHs uo bOI ~ Oho"h'
Men, women and children we're shot td0wn
or butcnered like sheep. Probably when
they were set upon in this way some tried
to save their. lives and resisted in self
defense. Many wounded fled in all drec-
tions, but the majority were slain. The
most probable estimate is $1,000 killed,
thirty-fvs villages plundered, razed and
burned.
women were outraged and men butch
cred. A priest was taken TO the roof of his
church and hacked to pieces and the edifice
set ON fire. A large number of women and
girls collected in a church were kept for
days, the sport of soldiers, and then mur-
dered. 1t is said the number was 80 large
that blood flowed out of the church door.
"'The soldiers commended over beautiful
girl. They wanted to preserve her. but
she, too, was killed. As a confirmation OF
the reports, the other day several soldiers
were returning from the seat of war and
one was heard to say that he alone with
his own hand had killed thirty pregnant
women"

My sterious Theft of Money From a

NEW YORK, Jan. IA morning paper
SAYS: A rumor was afloat in Jersey City
yesterday afternoon that large sum of
money had been stolen from the Hudson
County National Bank. Cashier j. War
rem Harden bergh would only admit at
first that some money was missing one
afternoon last week when the books were
being balanced and that all the clerks
were kept in the bank until midnight try
ing to trace it. Last night one of the
banks officials admitted that $1,000 had
been stolen from Paying Teller Horizons
desk. When and in what manner the
money was stolen remains:a mystery. but
the bank officials are of the opinion that it
was fished off the desk by somebody on the
outside by means of hook. The money
was in single package. and 1t is supposed
that the thief reached over the railing with.
a hook at the emu of stick and got it.
How the thief could have escaped detec-
ton is another mystery, as there are al
ways customers in the bank during busi-.
ness hours. - :.''

Most people imagine that pneumatic

and yet they were actually used on Eng

that "at the Bath and west of England
agricultural show, held at Guilford, a
couple of carriage wheels were shown
fitted with pneumatic tires. These were
made by May & Jacobs for the Duke Of
Northumberland AZ years ago, but the
carriage proving too heavy for the horse
they were disused. The tires were con-

The Boston Journal gives various
theories as to the meaning of the word
"dingbats. f" One writer who spent his
boyhood in Maine thinks it means to
spank, because his mother when getting
ready to use the slipper threatened to
put the "dingbats'' on him. From Will
barham academy comes the explanation
that it means the breakfast biscuit,
which the students dispose of by stick
ing it to the under side of the table,
throwing it at the heads of other stu
dents or eating it. A Connecticut pupil
states that to receive punishment at the
hands of the teacher is known as get
ting the dingbats. " Two Philadel-
phians agreed that it means money, as
in the sentence, "I've got the dingbats
for it" But New Hampshire agrees
with Maine that it means spanking,
and so the majority appears to side with
the maternal slipper. It is from such
"little acorns" that the tall tree Of our
almost cosmopolitan language has
grown. We got blizzard" from the
west, "kuklux from the south, "boom"
from the ambitious cities, ''cranl
from the eccentric minds in every PAL
of the country, ''pantata" from Italy,
"chalitza" from Russia. Dingbats is
going to be a great convenience.

AS to this money business, it is, as
Mr.. Warner says, plain case. We
should simply declare positively that
we will pay our debts in honest money
and go at it, and then we shall have
gold enough. Our people, mean now
in the south-will sell from this on
5000, 900 bales of cotton yearly to the
gold nations, and /, for one, am deter
mined that they never shall be subjected
to disadvantage in the exchange. 1t is
like it was with the resumption of specie
payments-the people suffered for years
in the foolish dread of it, but when they
made up their mind and went at it reao-
lutely the trouble soon vanished, and
prices rose above what they had been for
weary years, and business Immediately
became active 1t will undoubtedly be
SO again when we act with reason. 1t
is not the per cent of gold that is lack
ing-we have abundance and can get
plenty more. 1t is the 50 per cent of
confidence. Business is and must be
done largely on that confidence, or
credit. Mr.. Cleveland sees it plainly,
and there Is no fear but history will
fully justify him, j. H. BEADLE.

grumble about his Hawaiian policy, but
they have Endorsed pretty near every
thing else that he has personally engl-

and the struggle to hand over our cur
