evident that she will not consent for
the autonomous government of Ar
menia, fearing that her 1000, 900
Armenian subjects will migrate to
free Armenia il autonomy is granted
to them. She is now pouring her
forces near the frontiers OF the dis
turbed provinces, and it is claimed
that when the supreme occasion
presents itself. Russia will occupy
Armenia without waiting for the
consent OF the other European pow
ers. The sultan by promising re-
forms, threw dust into the eyes of
the great powers of Europe, while
he Is sending orders to his govern
ors to do away with the Christians
as soon as possible. He should not
be blamed for this for the reason
that every follower Of Mohammed is
expected to do so. and the sultan is
not only q true follower OF the
prophet, but also the successor OF
Mohammed and the chief commau-
der of Mohammedan religion. The
misery now existing in Turkey is
beyond description. Two hundred
and fifty thousand persons are naked
and on the verge of starvation. 1t is
almost impossible for q laboring m an
to earn q penny day. The hail has
in the early season destroyed all
kinds Of crops, and now everything
is sold with q price almost beyond
the reach of the laboring classes.
The publication of Christian paper
has been prohibited. Mails OF the
Christians are opened and confis-
Gated. The people who are now re-
duced to extreme poverty are called
upon to furnish the means to the
sultan to enable him to purchase
warships. The Armenians are plain
in their manners. They are law
abiding people. Under Turkish mis-.
rule they have groaned for five Gen.
turtles. and even now they ask for
justice, for protection Of life. honor
and property. The great trouble is
the religious sentiment Of these two
classes Of people. Mohammedans
are commissioned by their prophet
to compel all people to embrace Mo-
hammedanism. On the other hand
the Armenians are charmed by the
love of Jusus. cling to the cross of the
Lamb of God and prefer death rather
than any other religion. Such is nj
the present time the deplorable CON-
dition Of those who are trying to be
Christians under Turkish rule"

a United Christianity,

Since the recent sermon of Bishop
Ireland of the Catholic diocese
of st. Paul strongly advocating a
united Christianity, that subject has
been generally discussed with ap-
proval in the pulpit and press all
over this country. 1t is another in
dication that the days of ignorance,
bigotry, intolerance and superstition
are fast giving way to reason and in
vestigation, and that the evolution
in relation to religious belief that
has been going on for the past quar-
ter of a century is growing and
widening with increasing rapidity
and force as the years go by.
The time has passed when men are
burned at the stake or otherwise pun
ished for daring to think for them
selves or to express their opinions
should they not happen to coincide
with some creed made by fallible
man. This is a free country and
every man and woman has the in
slienable and constitutional right 10
worship God according to the die
tates Of ones own conscience. Men
were created with brains and reason
ing powers for the purpose Of e.a-
bling them to do their own thinking,
and it looks quite reasonable to peo-
pie of ordinary comprehension that
they are not to be eternally con-
demned for exercising that right ac-
cording to their best judgment.
What is wanted nowadays as
looked at from an entirely unpreju-
diced standpoint is more every day
practical Christianity and not so
much "belief," not SO much worry
ing about the future, concerning
which it is utterly impossible for us
to absolutely know anything. and
the devoting of more time to the
good things of this world with which
we are more or less familiar. No
mans salvation depends upon
whether he does or does not belieye
all the technicalities of creed. 1t is
the life he lives that will save him
not what he ''believes. ..By their
fruits ye shall know them"

Home RulA for Cuha.

If it be true, as stated in recent
dispatches, that the captain general
of Cuba has urged the Madrid gov:

my and SO put an end to the rebell-
ion. then it must be said of Gen.
Campos that he is the only Spanish
official Of authority and prominence
who seems to have the faintest glim-
mer OF intelligence as to the situa-
ton.
There is sort of absurdity about
the SO called military operations on
that misruled island. We read of
desperate and stubborn engagements

guished by the most reckless gallan-
try on either side, in which less than

result in the way OF casualty could
be removed in q single ambulance.
All this is ridiculous no doubt, but
there is q CHASTITY reality about the
losses to civilization. the awful rec
ord of brutality. the grim work of
fire and sword from day to day, and
Gen. Campos is quite right in saying
that the Spanish government should
stop it all by some act of reasonable
christian mercy. As for his sugges-
ton that the popular feeling in this
country is with the insurgents and
that sooner or later the sentiment
will make itself felt in some very en-
phatic utterance by congress, it
would be idle to deny that all the
probabilities sustain and reinforce
him. We can not forget that our
own liberties were achieved BY lust
such a struggle as the Cubans' are
now engaged in. and that, at a criti-
cal moment, we received sympathy
and aid from France. No matter
what we think of the Cuban lnaders,
their intelligence of purpose, their
purity of motive, the fact remains
that they represent the cause of hu-
man liberty. the same cause in which
our own forefathers offered up their
lives and to the defense of which we

There is a curious reminisceuce of the
past in usage by some European mothers,
and 1t is shown by the keeping of the first
castof teeth-''the milk teeth of theii
little ones-and to preserve these they
give them golden setting, wearing them
in ring. To fond mother there can be
nothing out of the way or approaching to
responsiveness in souvenir OF this charac-
ter. The preservation of such little teeth
we do not think is common ia England on
in the United States. We make, however,
a distinction between tooth and lock of
hair. 1t is the indestructible Quality of
both things which makes them suitable
mementos. Nevertheless, all poetical SEN
timentality being put aside, the preserva-
tion OF the tooth is a return 10 the ways

There was considerable excitement in

quired TO settle row on the dock previous
To her departure. Captain Day, who is in

to Boston yesterday afternoon and
engaged crew 10 come here and
sail with him today. The mem
bers of the crew promised TO
come on a certain train, but for some rea-
son or other, failed to do SO. They did,
however, arrive on later train, and
Capt. Day was not al the depot TO meet
them. gang OF Union sailors took
the men uner their protection, and after
giving them the benefit Of refreshments
induced them to go TO the dock;and inter-
view Capt. Day. They did so and the visi-
tors concluded 1t was best to continue
their journey to Norfolk. The union
men we're very mad at this and
there was big row on the

They Are Costly, but Their Charm May
BE Perennial.
Being photographed nowadays Ia an
elaborate process. Heretofore when O
woman wanted her photograph taken she
went TO the studio and arranged about the
size Of the picture and the number she
wanted. She gave reassuring touch to
her hair, sat down before tho camera,
turned her head little TO the right or to
the left as the artist desired, and clamped
on either temple, gazed flxedly, insipidly
or otherwise, at a spot on the wall. Now
the subject : possibilities" are studied In
detail. Nothing is left To accident. The
fashionable woman carries her various
gowns TO the studio with her and tries
them on, each in turn, that the artist may
decide which quits her best. She pays $50
for the photographs.
Her hair is arranged by skillful hands
In different ways, that style OF coiffure
may be chosen which will be appropriate,
not only 10 the contour of her face and
head, but to the environments of the pic
ture. The subject hands and arms are
criticised, likewise her throat and neck, to
see whether severe high costume or an
evening gown shall be used. The topics of
background and accessories are discussed
All of these tinted carbon photographs
are taken full length. Maybe the subject
will pose as a dame Of the first empire
with skinny satin gown, elaborate Golf
fure, joweled girdle, fan and vinaigrette
Perhaps she stands, half turned about,
with her back to the spectator and her
pure profile deftly brought out on "a dark
velvet curtain. All women would not look
charming in such position. The artist
knows whom TO choose, and the subject
will wonder at her own beauty when she
sees the picture.
A willful, coquettish girl is posed as a
modern Priscilla The quaint spinning
wheel and high backed chair, the small
paned window at the back of the colonial
room, form n churrufng contrast with her
rich brocade gown and beamiAg face The
scant, puffed sleeves set off the rounded
arms, the curve of the wrist, the hand that
grasps the wheel is like rare old paint
ing, and the undulating outlines of the
figure are suggested not revealed, by the
prim folds of the lowered silk frock.
These latter day photographs are like
paintings and are likely never to grow old
fashioned. They have the charm that dis
tinguishes the portrait painters of the old
English school-a charm that custom will
not stale. They will not become out of
date and grotesque, like the photographs
of 20 years ago, found i'm family albums.
In those days a woman was hired to put
the lights in the eyes color the checks and
paint the ribbon bows and artificial flowers
of the ladies and the gay neckties and
buttonhole bouquets Of the gentlemen. The
new photographs, be it hundred years
hence, always will be things of beauty, no
matter what evolutions, contractions or
may befall woman's Dress
