are forced to believe that some very ter
rible outrages have been committed. But
feel convinced that the religious ques-
ton has played secondary part in the
affair. Indeed, to ascertain the truth it
would be we'll to eliminate the religious
question altogether. Close by, in Russia,
greater atrocities are committed by
Christians against Christians. Perhaps
the most urgent OF all reforms that
should be introduced in Asia Minor
would be the abolition of the pernicious
system of the farming out of the priv
ilege of strengthening. The tax gatherer
is not paid and RESPONSE BILE functionary.
= On the contrary, he pays very large
sum indeed to be armed with the gov
eminent authority to collect taxes He
must therefore, collect not merely
enough to pay into the treas ury the
amount in taxes claimed by the govern
ment, but he must get enough to rem-
burse himself for his outlay in purchas-
ing the post of tax collector and enough
to constitute the private fortune he de-
sires to possess. All this must be done.
in a very short time, for he is not likely
to keep his post long. The result is that
very cruel exactions are practiced,
which, while exasperating the popula-
tions, do not enrich the state. Then we
have the Kurds, and many of them are
simply brigapds. Finally we have the
The Armenians residing in England and
in America, peaceful merchants and
business men, are doubtless quite sim
cere when they protest their loyalty
towards the Sultan and that they only
desire reforms granted by legislative en-
actments. But there is nevertheless a
revolutionary movement in Armenia.
1t originates from the Russian provinces
of Armenia; it initiates the Nihilist
methods of warfare; it's leaders have been
educated in Russia, and perhaps indi.
rectly inspired by the forward party of
Russian politicians. Now, what with
dissatisfied taxpayers, Kurdish brigands
and Russo-Armenian terrorists, it is not
surprising If occasionally the Turks
become alarmed. In the present instance
the disturbance is said to have CON-
menced by the killing of dozen Turks.
In several fights and sklrmishes the
Turks have been defeated, and it is not
surprising if, after having suffered, even

of the Turkish army revenged them
selves Other troops besides the Turk
ish troops have committed deplorable ex-
cesses both before and since.

CITY GOVERNMENT.
The City Council Votes to Give Public
Hearing Tonight.

The special meeting of the city govern
ment called to take action on the street
commission hearing was held Saturday eve
ming.
IN BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.
Absent, Alderman Smith.
Alderman Dam read petition signed by
n. Fl. Shaw and one hundred others for
street commission, which was sent down
for concurrence.
Mayor Baxter read a complaint signed by
City Physician Nickerson and DIR. Searle for
commitment of Benjamin f. Pritchard to
the insane asylum at Augusta. DIR. Searle
said the man was undoubtedly insane and
should be sent away at once. Mr.. Pritchard
was present and objected, saying he could
take care of himself. On motion of Alder
man Peters. the case was laid on the table
until the next meeting.
Permission was granted the Boston and
Maine road to cross Commercial street to
A. R. Wright's coal pockets under the. usual
condition.
Licenses were granted Walter L. Bailey,
C. ?. Allen and P. L.. Klye, to sell at
auction after sunset.
IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Councilman Kent moved that the order
from the upper board in relation to the
street commission, laid on the table at the
last meeting. be taken from the table. and
the motion was carried.
Councilmen Illsley, Mannix. O'Neil, Kent.
Fagan, Nickerson and Holland spoke in
favor of recess in order to find out, If
possible, what the upper board intended to
do, as they had no means of knowing. Mr..
Kent then moved to adjourn. which was
lost.
Councilman Nash finally settled the
matter by introducing the following order.
which was carried, Lefavor voting no:
.sThat the lower board concur with the
board of aldermen and give hearing next
Monday evening to the petitioners for a
street commission"
The petition of II. H. Shaw and Others
for public hearing was received.
Mr.. Lefavor said why he voted against the
order was for the reason that Alderman
Smith had requested to have the hearing
come off one week from Monday instead OF
next Monday. He was obliged to go out of
town, owing to the illness Of a relative.

What we almost urgently require is to
know the truth. Armenia is the hen
with the golden eggs. Is it likely that
the Turkish authorities would willingly
and eliherately lay waste rich PROVING
es? Undoubtedly there is great deal of
Mohammedan fanaticism: people who
are very religious are always very fanati-
not SO ignorant as the Turks and the
Kurds; consequently they are more skill
full in matters of business, and succeed
more easily in making money That nat
urally excites the jealousy of the Turks,
the avarice and the looting propensities
of the KurGs. A strong animosity is felt
against the more prosperous Armenians.
This has led to acts of violence being
perpetrated against the Armenians: but
it seems very unlikely that the Turkish
authorities would approve and encourage
such apgressions. On the contrary. we
know that in some instances yery active
measures have been taken by the Turk
ish government to prevent such out
breaks. For instance. at the present
moment all manner of things are said
against General Zekki Pasba. Yet. at
Birmingham, which was the headquarters
of Turkish army corps, there were
lious threatened in 1850. 1t was i'm the
month of June, and the Turks evidently
meant to attack the Christians. Zekkid
Pasha, however. ordered out battery
of artillery, had the guns pointed against
the Turkish quarter OF the town, and in
formed the Turks that, if thew ,nolested
the Christians, he would lombard chem
in their own houses. This suffced. and
there was no rioting.
On tho present occasion the issue has.
however, been very different. There has
been bloodshed, and, even when making

Roy and Robin.

During the extremely severe wealth CT of February, 1895, myriads of birds perished from cold and starvation both in Europe and the United States. In England this destruction was the more sorrowful perhaps, as the country where the birds winter is more thickly settled than with us, and there were more to see their sufferings. But occasionally the British birds found friendly shelter.
 The London Times published during the cold weather this note from ROdOlph Walther, a boy of 12 years, who lives at Tunbridge Wells:
 "I thought perhaps you would allow q schoolboy to tell you how very tame and fearless the cold and hunger have made the wild birds around our house.
 "Of course we feed them with bread and all sorts of odds and ends, and the ground is simply black with our hungry visitors. Even the suspicious rocks come quite close to the house for their share.
 "A little blue tit passes its days in oul basement, needless of sleepy pussy bak ing herself before the stove.
 "Most of all wish to tell you about my strange bedroom companion, q little robin which has taken up its residence ill my bedroom. and though leave the window open he never goes out except to take d short fly. We pass tho night to gether, and he makes his bed in one oi my football boots.
 ''The other morning he woke me uI by singing on chair at the side of my bed. suppose he thought I ought to be at my lessons. y

Charlotte Rarnwe1l Elliott.

Mrs. Charlotte Barnwell Elliott, whose death is announced, was the wife and mother of bishops, as Abigail Adams was the wife and mother of presidents. She was the wife of the late Right Rev. Stephen Elliott, the first Episcopal bishop of Georgia, and mother of the late Right Rev. R. W. B. Elliott, the first bishop of western Texas A wider public interest attaches to her, however, as the mother of Miss Sarah Barnwell Elliott, the author of "Jerry" and other admirable tales.
 Mrs Elliott was born in Beaufort, s. C., and was descended from the Gibbses, the Bulls and the Barnwells and related more or less nearly to all the we'll known names on the Atlantic coast of that state. As a girl ill Washington she en- joyed the best intellectual society of the country by virtue not only of her social position, but also of 8 personal magnet ism and charm which never deserted her while life lasted. In 1889 she mar ried the Rev. Stephen Elliott of Charleston, then professor of moral philosophy and acting chaplain of the South Carolina state university, at Co., lumbia. In 1840 Professor Elliott was elected bishop of Georgia, and he and Mrs. Elliott removed to Savannah. Here and wherever she went Mrs. Elliott was the center of large circle of friends. After the death of Bishop Elliott she removed to Sewanee, Tenn. in 1870, where she lived the rest of her life. Woman s Journal

 She acquiesccd, and we went to the dock. On arriving she took out her purse and handed me a dime, with the remark that it was not much of walk, but she thought it was worth dime thanked her and told her that my serv- ices would be free, at which she asked me what carried her bundle for if not for pay.

What German Boys Celebrate.

In q military country like Germany what glorious times the youth must have! They not only celebrate the em- peror $ birthday, but many military vic tories besides. Apart from his imperial majesty's anniversary, when all Ger many turns out ill holiday attire, are the festivities ill commemoration of the great battle of Sedan, called Sedans- feiertag This battle, you know, is the last victory the Germans gained over the French. Sept. ?, 1895, will be the twenty fifth anniversary, the prepara- tions for which are already being made. In every city, village and hamlet military parades, fireworks, picnics and concerts will be the order of the day. Then will the little German children be sent with helmet, wooden sword and drum, and many father will present his young son with q whole suit of regimentals.
 It is very droll to see a hero of 6 march with conscious dignity or touch his cap with martial salute. In one of the heights that surround q principal town ill Germany stands fort of rude construction that has been made by boys in remote years and has been used by generations of boys ever since upon na- tional holidays. Here the flag is hoist ed, the boys divide into two parties, one party mounts the fort and defends the flag, the other endeavors to cross the moat and storm the position. Of course there is plenty of noise and the blast of the never failing horn. York Mail and ESpress.
