and more serious complexion upon

which will Immediately attract the

ave claimed that the Armenians

nave claimed that the Armenians
were the aggressors, and that the
former simply defended themselves
when attacked by the latter. The
weakness of this plea can be Judged
from the fact that during the recent
massacre at Sivas 500 Armeniaas
were killed and only ten Turks met
death during the riotiDg 1t is
therefore safe to presume that it
was massacre pure and simple, and
not an ordinary disturbance, which
resulted in such great loss of life
among the Armenians.
THE POWERS PLAY WAITING GAME.
Constantinople, Nov. 16.-No de
finite action Is known to have been
taken by the Ambassadors of the
powers, but it is reported they will
join n note to the Porte, inform
ing the government of the Sultan
that, IN spite of the remonstrances
and recommendation of the powers,
matters have now reached stage in
Asia Minor where it is evident that
the Sultan's authority is not suffi-
cient to quell the repeated disturb
ances which are breaking out, and it
has become necessary for the powers,
in the interests of Christianity and
humanity, TO put an end to these
disorders by occupying jointly vari
Gus portions of the Turkish empire
until order is fully restored and
better system of government is in
augurated.
In order to carry out the policy
of the powers, the most powerful
fleet ever gathered together is being
assembled at Salonica bay. 1t will
consist of about thirty British war
ships, including a dozen battleships
of the first class; a dozen or so
French ships, including half dozen
battleships; twelve Russian warships,
of which four will be battleships;
eight Italian warships, of which
number four at least will be first
class battleships, and several Austri-
an and German warships. The
British feet includes the flower of
the British navy and is constantly
being reinforced
The news from the different pro-
Vinces of Asia Minor confirms be
yond doubt the impression which
prevailed here for long time past
that the movement has now assumed
proportions which have placed it
beyond the control of the Turkish
authorities, even if the latter were
really deslrous of Furnishing the
Mussuimans for massacreing Armen-
ians, In fact, it is considered very
doubtful whether the Turkish troops
would fire on Mussulmans if they
should oe ordered to do so
The inhabitants around kharput
are in l. state of great distress from
hunger, and if the cold weather was
to set in suddenly there would be
much more suffering and considera-
BILE loss of life.
From Guran, in the Viliayet OF
Sivas, where the kurds have been
besieging 1000 Armenians, it is re
ported that all the Armenians have
been massacred
IN tie District of Mardin, where
there is d large Christian population
OF Chaldeans and Syrians, a number
of villages have been burned to the
ground and the people are destitute
and suffering from sickness due te
exposure and hunger.

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM
According to the best authorities,
originate in a morbid condition of
the blood. Tactic acid, caused by
the decomposition of the gelatinous
and alhuminous tissues, eirculates
with the blood and attacks the
fibrous tissues, particularly in the
joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations Of the disease. The
back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism, and
the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
and wrists are also sometimes at.
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla a posi-
tive aud permanent cure for rheuma
tism. 1t has had remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the
cause of the disease by neutralizing
the Tactic acid and purifying the
blood,as we'll as strengthening every
function of the body.

AN UNJUST CHARGE.

a Matamoros paper of recent
date contains an account of
alleged ill treatment of one
Dionicio Perez, a citizen of the
Heroic City, by the authorities
OF Brownsville, while said cit.
izen was in confinement here
for disturbing the peace. The
said Perez complains that he
was subjected to. brutal treat.
ment and holds Justice Geo. w.
Miller responsible for it, stig-
matizing MI. Miller as a "brute."
The facts of the case, as nearly
as THE HERALD can learn are as
follows:
Dionicio Perez has been ar
rested three different times in
this city for disturbing the
the peace and on each occasion
was taken before Justice Miller.
The first time he was dismissed.
On the second occasion, he was
again dismissed with a severe
reprimand, and the third time
he was fined 50 and costs,
amounting to $11.45. Not be-
ing able to pay the fine, the
delinquent was told he would
have to work on the streets,
which he refused to do saying
no one could force him to work.
Being taken out on the streets
to perform some work, he again
refused to do anything, where
upon he was returned to jail
and put on adiet of bread and
water. In a day or two, his
gastronamic department grew
stated with such a menu, and he
declared his &illingness to per-
form manual labor on the
streets. He was therefore put
to work, and fell to with a will,
but managed in some way to
make his escape after a few
hours, and skipped to Matamo-
ros, where he is now posing as
a prosecuted victim of American
law. These are the facts, and
} the charge Of brutal treatment
, is, of course, totally untrue
As for Judge Miller, fal
} from being anything approach,
brutal, he is known by every,
, one as a most humane gentle
man, and his wide popularity
in Brownsville with all classes
proves that he is incapable O

eight years during which he has
served as Justice of the. peace
he has never given the leas
cause for such complaints.

sober and respect the laws 0
