The defence Of the man who was caught
killing a neighbours sheep, that he acted
in self defense, fearing that the animal
would bite him, is recalled occasionally
by some of the stories invented to evade
our Maine game laws. From them we
are led to believe that deer are naturally
ferocious to degree with largely carni

A will of the kind known as "holo-
graphic" came into Penobscot probate
court the other day, constituting the first
case of the kind on record in the county.
Perhaps good many of US don't know
it, but that kind Of will is one written
wholly in the hand of the person drawing
the instrument. Every word and figure
of such a document must be In the hand
writing Of the testator in order to secure
to it the cover of legality. 1t Is related
that once will of this character was re
jected by a judge of probate because the
date and name Of town were printed In,
as Is common on office paper, instead of
being in the writing which characterized
all other parts Of the instrument The
will now in the Penobscot probate office
was made in North Carolina, but the tes-
tator dying in Glenburn, Maine, 1t was
sent here for probate.
The clerk Of the weather had a smiling
face for the opening of the Kennebec
county fair at Readf1eld, yesterday. 1t is
to be hoped that he will continue in the
same cheerful mood throughout the week.
A Lewiston barber was surprised one
day this week to find that the air had
been let out of his bicycle in front of his
very shop. Naturally he took it up to the
nearest bicycle store and asked them to
blow 1t up. Now the truth was this
bicycle dealer wanted haircut and
didn't want to pay for it, and so he went
down and let the air out of the wheel
when the owner wasn't looking. "I'n
blow it up for hair cut" "All right,
come down" The hair on one side was
all cut when by some means the joke be
came clear to the barber and he laid dow Il
his scissors and demanded the quarter
well guess not " "Then you can go, Z"
said the barber. The wheel dealer looked
at his head in the glass and sighed as he
found the silver piece in his pocket.

THE DOUBLE DEALING SULTAN.
His Appointment of Bahri Pasha PlaiE
Evidence of His DupIicity.

His Appointment of Bahri Pasha Plain
Evidence of His DupIicity.
The civilized world is rapidly coming
to the conclusion that 'fthe sick man of
Europe needs a liberal dose of grape
and canister. He constantly protests to
the powers that he is doing his utmost
to end the massacres in Armenia and at
the same time promotes and otherwise
honors the Turkish and Kurdish officials
who are doing all they can by deeds of
omission or of commission to destroy the
Christians in the Ottoman empire. If
there were any reasonable doubt Of this
fact, the appointment of Bahri Pasha to
the important Office of military COM
mander of the Aleppo district would be
sufficient to dispel it.
The pasha, according to the Christian
residents and foreign diplomatic repre-
sentatives, is a cruel tyrant and his pro-
motion by the sultan has aroused a
storm of indignation. Bahri Pasha, it
will be recalled, was in command at
Van at the time of the Turkish atroci
ties there, and owing to his noninter-
vention was largely responsible for the
slaughter of men, women and children
by the bloodthirsty Kurds. At the time

DAMAGES CLAIMED.
An English Family Makes a Ridiculous
Demand for $4,000.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. Ex-Governor
Holcomb has received a letter from
Secretary Olney, inclosing the request
of the British ambassador for $40, 900,
growing out of the assault of the
English family of Dawsons in Nebras-
ka by the McCarty outlaw gang.
The Dawsons claim their property was
damaged 30 that extent by the alleged
outlaw band. The claim in Nebraska
is regarded as not only ridiculous, but
absurd. Ali the property the Daw-
sons had at the time was contained il
a small wagon drawn by two bron-
cos, and the outfit probably worth
$500 They were attempting to trade
horses with Vic McCarty, a local tough,
and the leader of a gang of ruffians.
A free fight resulted, in which the
Dawsons soundly thrashed the McCar-
tvs, who sought safety IN fight That
was the end of the matter.

Brought About q Settlements OF the
Philadelphia Strike.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-The great
trolley strike is ended. This is final.
John Wanamaker is the man who
brought about the settlement, sue
ceeding where all others failed. He
was aided in his work by the mem
bers of the Christian League.
First, while the Union Traction
Company will treat only with the
workmen in its employ, it will allow
them membership in any lawful Or
ganization; second, it will take up all
grievances and give them full and fair
nsideration; third, it will, SO far as
it has vacant places, Immediately put
on the old men, and as fast as vacan-
cies arise, will give preference to any
of the old men yet unemployed, and
endeavor to arrange the trips of the
cars to favor the old men as far as
possible without violating its contract
with the new men.
The questions of compensation and
hours are left for future determine
ton. Concessions were made by both
sides. The battle has been mainly
fought on the question of the en-
ployes' membership in the Amalga-
mated Association of Street Railway
Employees, which the company has
persistently refused to recognize. The
new men engaged since the strike be-
gan number nearly 1000. There were
about {. GOO strikers.

Sir Philip Currie, the British embassa-
dor, demanded the pasha's removal on
the ground of maladministration and
cruelty to the Armenians. The growl of
the British lion compelled the sultan to
comply with Sir Philips request, but
when the Van affair blew over the sui
tan restored Bahri Pasha to power and
conferred decorations upon him, plainly
showing that the pasha action in max
ing no effort to stay the murderous
hands of the Kurds placed him in high
favor at Yildiz palace.
The district of Aleppo, the troops Of
which have been placed under Bahri
Pasha's command, comprises Turkish
vilayet in North Syria, so miles from
Antioch. Aleppo has a population of
100, about 20, 600 of whom are Chris
tians and Jews. 1t has recently been the
scene of nti-Armenian outbreaks and
since the appointment of Bahri PaSha
the powers have warned the sultan that
he will hear something drop If there ID
a massacre in Aleppo.

CHILLIcoTHE, Mo-, Dec. 24.-Trouble
has for some time past been brewing
in the colored Baptist church of this
city, growing out of charges by one of
the members that the pastor, Rev.
Moore, was too intimate with the wife
of a member. After services Sunday
night as Rev. Moore was leaving the
church his footsteps were fastened by
a number of pistol shots, and as he
passed the first alley job lot of eggs
in the sere and yellow leaf stage were
waited his way. Some of then reached
his person and produced nausea. No
clue has been obtained as to the au-
thors of the episode.

Congress has acted upon the Presi-
dents suggestions in authorizing the

mission to locate the boundary line

you not study medicine? If I could have
been treated by a woman doctor, my
worst suferings would have been spared
me-"
At first the idea was repulsive to DR..
Blackwell, but she finally concluded to
study medicine, and accordingly wrote
to six different physicians for advice.
All were unanimous in declaring that it
was impossible for member of her sex
to gain medical education. For time
their joint prediction seemed well found
ed. In 1915, just so years ago, she en-
tered the Office class Of a Charleston
physician and two years later applied in
vain for admittance to the Philadelphia
Medical school Undaunted, she made
application to numerous other schools,
but they all refused to admit her. At
last success crowned her efforts. The
faculty of a medical college in Geneva,
n. Y, enrolled her among the other reg
ular students, and in January, 1849, she
received the first diploma ever awarded
a Woman by such an institution.
Desiring to increase her knowledge,
she went to Paris and studied at La Ma
ternite. She was received on the footing
of a nurse, and while attending an
ophthalmic child received some of the
poison into one of her own eyes, the
sight of which was destroyed. Return
ing to New York, she founded the New
York Inf1rmary and College For Women
and took an active part in the work Of
the sanitary commission during the war.
She now lives in Hastings, England,
and although we'll along in years still
maintains an Office in London.

He Fears Great Britain May Bride Her
Way Through.

NEW YORK, Dec. Ex-senator R. F.
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who is in
the city, said: England will prob
ably brlbe her way with the Venezue-
lans to a settlement of the boundary
dispute. And once the Venezuelans
agree with the English about the line,
then what we have done about the
matter will seem more or less ridicu-
lous. 1t will make a laughing stock
of us. England could invest half
million or so of dollars in Venezuela
in the way of bribery or purchase
money, and soon settle the dispute in
regard to the boundary line. This is
more proba BILE than war with u.s."
