PLEA FOX THE HOSPITAL.

Remember That Institution on Its DOna.
tion Days. December - and %.
Every Christmas-tide the inmates of
the Lackawanna hospital are made the
recipients, from generous hearted
Scranton people. Of bountiful provis-
ion for Christmas dinner. and of other
supplies--sometimes more. some times
less. 1t Is the only institution that has
had no regular donation days.
This year the superintendent makes q
plea that Dec. q and %. the Saturday
and Monday before Christmas. shall
be donation days. For, besides the
moneys that are needed for the effective
carrying on of the hospital work, there
Is an existing necessity for clothing
for patients, household articles of va
rious kinds. groceries, rubber water
bags, air cushions. blankets.
Also. there Is strongly desired a
Christmas tree with decorations and
toys for the poor little tots. all great
sufferers, now in the hospital. These
are Charlie. aged years; Peter, 8
years; jamie. years and Minnie. Z
years old. These little ones are all In
immediate need Of nightgowns and
wrappers. The appeal for these little
ones cannot fail to strike a responsive
chord in the hearts Of many happy chill
dren, and many parents. that will en-
sure the needful supply.

VARIOUS CARNIVAL CLUBS ARE
IN PROCESS OF ORGANIZA-
TION
FOR THE WINTER EVENT.
ORGANIZATIONS
OF FORMER WINTERS GET
TING READY FOR 1890.
COMMITTEE MEETS.
Initial Steps Taken to Raise Nec-
essary Funds for the Big
Event.

At a meeting of the finance COM
held yesterday afternoon, the initial
steps were taken for the raising Of
the fund deemed necessary by the
committee ON programme. 1t Is ex-
pected that a report can be made to
a general meeting ON Thursday even
ing. The programme committee Is
also perfecting Its plans, and DIR.
Bean, the president, has secured a
very favorable offer of headquarters
for the association.
Secretary Bowlby is daily receiv-
ing notices from clubs that have Or
ganized, or are i'm process of organi-
cation, and several of the old-time
carnival clubs will get together as
soon as the first excuse for snow
storm makes its appearance. The
famous ST. Georges, the nobby Nush-
kas, the jolly Columbias, Capt. Beams
husky Seven Corners brigade, the
Pioneer Press brilliants, the Northern
Pacific balttalions, the Omahas, the
Great Northerns, Dispatch club and
several others can rig UP for ac-
tion In short order.
AS soon as the associa tton officers
and committees feel In readiness TO
call on these strong organizations,
whose fame travelled far and wide,
they will undoubtedly be found ready
to come forth and win fresh glory.
New clubs will not take a back
seat from many of the old ones. The
Red Mem, for instance, have perfect
ed plans which will insure as unique
and novel a phalanx as ever marched
in procession. Memories Of the world
renowned BLACK Watch" the Forty
second Highlanders, will be revived
in every educated mind by the kits
and tartans of the Northern Scots
brigade. The Pythians mean to have
as handsome and as well drilled a
club as ever stepped dn mocassinS.
Woodmen, Turner's, Maccabees, Work.
men, Druids, Royal Arcanumites,
high school boys and girls, the vaTi-
GUS skating clubs and the crack
marchers from the different whole
sale houses. will fall rapidly into line
once the movement begins.
Ut now seems as If 1t is only a
question of snow and frost. One
heavy fall Of the beautiful, such as
they get down East, would give the
desired impetus to the formation and
drilling Of clubs; but there Is yet
considerable time before January 81,
the date set for opening the festivi-
ties. BY that time the Duluth bon
spiel will be finished and from the
Zenith city the most noted curriers' of
the United States and Canada will
come to st. Paul, where they cam
have more fun and sport every hour
than in any other city in America.

THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS.
The Daily Record of Atrocities In
Turkey.

CONSTANTINOPLE Nov. 1S.-Fur-
ther massacres are reported from 81
vas, and there Is a report that 1000
ArmenianS have been massacred at
Gurun. Although the reports Of the
latter massacre are not confirmed, the
Turkish officials admit that the Kurds
have made two separate attacks on the
ArmenianS of that locality, and that
there was considerable loss of life, due,
they say, to the rioting of the Armen-
ians, which could not otherwise have
been suppressed.
Arrests continue here, and it Is re-
ported that a number of members Of
the young Turk party have been Sc
cretly executed. The sultan is said to
be- alarmed to the verge of insanity at
the assembling of the foreign fleets at
Salonica bay, and it is known that he
has sent urgent messages to the wallis
Of the disturbed districts, ordering
them to suppress the disorders. The
two battalions of troops and the de-
tachment of artillery at the Yaldiz
Kiosk are kept closely within the
grounds of the palace. The life Of the
sultan is known to be in danger, and
the lives of nearly all the ministers
have been threatened. Hassan Pasha,
the minister of marine, Is known to
distrust the navy to the extent that he
has a guard of troops, and 1t is claimed
he dare not go aboard war vessel.
The Turkish government today issued
a notice officially denying in the most
positive terms that four Jesuits have
been killed, or that the Protestant
missionaries have been maltreated at
Malatiah. In the first instance the an
nouncement was sent last week to the
Associated Press exclusively on this
subject
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-11-19

extent a delusion. When they had
paid their fees, and when they took
into account their distance from
transportation facilities, they found
not infrequently that they had made
bad bargain. The fact is that now,
with immense amounts of vacant
and most desirable farming land to
be had at the lowest prices and on the
most reasonable terms, an industri-
Gus and capable farmer may become
owner of clear title to a good farm
more easily than he could, in those
years, obtain the fee Of poor one.
This is the fact which we need to
advertise to all the world; that the
advantages which the Northwest has
to offer to the Immigrant now are
superior to those presented when the
influx Of new people was at Its
height. Now how shall we go about
making this generally known and
practically effective? If this conven-
ton Is to realize the expectations
based upon 1t, 1t will develop a plan
for laying before the people Of other
states and of other lands a statement
of the unmatched advantages OF life
In the Northwest to those who come
with light purses but willing hearts
and ready hands. 1t is the campaign
of education that tells. Get the facts
into the head of the right man. and
you have won an Immigrant. 1t Is
for the convention to devise ways and
means. That it will do this we have
no doubt. Its representative charao-
ter, the great ability of many of the
delegates and speakers, and the ear
nestness that inspires them all are
guarantee of practical results. What
ever it Is able to do for the increase
much done for a new era Of prosper
ity for the Northwest; for country
as much as city; for the farmer, whose
holdings will be made by so much
the more valuable, as we'll as for mer-
chant and manufacturer whose mar
ket Is enlarged. 1t is an inspiring
topic, great programme with which
the convention will deal, wisely and
thoroughly we believe. In the name
of all our people the clio b bids 1t
welcome, assures it of public SYM
pathy and interest, and wishes for
its labors the abundant success that
seems to be within it's reach.

RISING OF THE NEVA.
Much Damage and Some Loss of
Life in st. Petersburg.

BERLIN, Nov. 1S.-Advices just re-
ceived here from st. Petersburg give
details of the severe storm which
swept over that part of Russia on
Wednesday last. Owing to the vio-
lence of the gale the River Neva rose
eight and half inches and the islands
in it were flooded. In addition, wooden
buildings along the banks of the e.Neva,
piers, ETC., were washed away, and
lowlying quarters of the city were in
undated. So threatening did matters
become that guns were fired from the
fortress to alarm the inha bitants OF
the endangered parts of the town, and
they were able to seek refuge in the
upper stories of their habitations.
Boats were used in some of the streets
to carry people to places of safety, and
strong detachments of the troops and
police were sent to the assistance of
those in danger. The peasants in
fabiting many of the villages on the
outskirts of st. Petersburg lost every
thing through the flood. their homes,
cattle and all belongings being swept
away. The amount of damage done is
said to be very great and many lives
were lost. The exact extent of the
disaster, however, were not ascertained
when these advices left st. Petersburg,
although the bodies of several drowned
people had been recovered.

bought with their gold the very afro
cities at which they now pretend to
be shocked. And when the impulse
of common humanity in these nations
is reused, and the vast mass of the
people demand that the hand of these
ht1man wild beasts should be stayed,
UP starts the money lender and de-
clares that he will have his bond.
AS of old, the pound of flesh is his.
He cares nothing for the life of man,
or the honor of woman, or the inno-
cence of childhood. Let all these be
put into the balance, and they will
weigh as nothing against the pre-
cious bond on which he eXacts pay
ment to the utmost farthing.
For many a generation now, upon
our stage and in our literature, 1t
has been the Jew, the Shylock,
who was the type of the betrayer of
innocent blood. Christian nations
have stood affair off and lifted UP their
voices and thanked God that they
were not as other men were; and,
least of all, like this eXtortloner. Yet,
when has the world ever seen, on
so large scale, the delivery of hu-
manity to torture and to death, for a
stipulated price, that is now exhibited
throughout the Turkish empire, With
the knowledge and consent OF the so
called Christian nations? Every hor-
ror that has taken place in Armenia,
and elsewhere throughout Turkey,
has been bought with a price. Not
upon the unspeakable Turk, but upon
the more unspeakable Christian, who
will tolerate anything rather than
jeopardize his sacred investments,
rests the responsibility for the rain
of blood that is falling in that un-
happy land, and for the wall OF the
helpless, who find no ear open to their
cry. The most tremendous indict-
ment ever framed against the mod
ern system and our so-called civiliza-
tion is this proclamation, in the face
of all the world, that humanity and
Christianity are as nothing compared
with the repayment of a debt of in
fanny. 1t is not the Turk, it is the
Christian of Europe who today trades
in the shambles, and clasps greedily
in his crimson hands the price of in
nOcent blood.

PAVING THE WAY.
COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS
FOR C. A. n. NATIONAL EN-
CAMPMENT.
HOLDS A LONG SESSION.
A DELEGATION TO GO TO LOUIS.
WILLIE TO LOOK INTO MAT
TIERS
AND SECURE SOME SUPPLIES.
National Commander Walker Is
Coming to Look Into Ac-
comm o odat tiOns.

The meeting of the citizens cOnl-
mittee on arrangements for the ma
tional G. A. r. encampment last night
was devoted chiefly to matters of
routine nature But after the full
committee had adjourned, there was
long meeting of the executive COM
mittee. Nothing was made public
regarding the business transacted
by the executive committee, however,
further than the statement it was
occupied principally in considering
the lists of names submitted for mem
bers of the different committees by
the chairmen of these committees.
The general committee authorized
the chairmen of the various commit
tees and the officers of the general
committee to proceed to Louisville
for the purpose of gaining whatever
information they can regarding the
manner of handling the encampment
there and purchasing such supplies
as may be left over that IAN be Sc
cured at a price that will make it
an object to buy them.
Capt. Castle reported that the COM
mittee on incorporation had filed ar
ticles with the secretary of state and
paid the fee Of $50 required by law.
The report was accepted and the
committee discharged.
A letter from Mrs. Catharine e.
Hirst, president of the national or
ganiZation of the ladies of the G. A.
R., returned thanks for the many
courtesies shown her during her re-
cent visit here to make arrangements
for the meeting Of her organization
at the same time the G. A. r. meets.
Mrs. Hirst thinks that if the national
encampment is extended equal at
tention, there will certainly be no
cause of complaint about st. PauTs
hospitality.
Albert Scheffer reported that Mrs.
R.. NJ. Newport has been selected as
chairman of the ladies' committee.
The report was concuTed in, and the
name recommended to the mayor for
confirma ton.
Capt McCardy submitted some cor
respondence with reference to invit-
ing the Union Veteran league to meet
here at the same time the G. A. r.
meets He said the first letter had
been mislaid and nothing had been
done until after the leagues national
encampment had adjourned.
Capt. Castle remarked that the in
vitation to the G.. A. r. includes all
old soldiers who are members Of the
G. A. R., and all subsidiary organi-
zations The secretary was instruct
ed to write the correspondent to this
effect
Gen. Flower, chairman of the trans
portation committee, said there was
nothing definite with reference to
transportation rates as yet, and he
did not know that there would be
by Dec. 8, when the national COM
mander arrives to look into the ar
rangemenlts for the meeting. But
some private information was given
which indicated that the commander
cam be guaranteed a rate of one cent
per mile.
The committee adjourned to meet
next Monday evening.
The local posts of the G. A. R. have
appointed committees which are to
hold a meeting tonight to make ar
rangements for entertaining the ma
tional commander, 1. n. Walker, on
the occasion of his visit here ON De-
cember 8.

HARD TIMES IN BULGARIA.
Methodist Missions Making I'm
sMtisfactory PrOgress.

DENVER. Col. Nov. 1S.-BuIgaria
was the principal subject discussed at
today's sitting of the general mission
ary committee of the NJ. e. church, and
the debate at times was heated and
pointed. Many harsh statements were
made as to. the conduct and the work
and worth Of the Bulgarian field, and
many intimations ware thrown out
that very much more Of very much
worse character could be revealed If
only the revelations should be given to
the public.
After sixteen years work about fifty
members were all that could be shown
Now, after an expenditure of about
100000, there are 2S0 members. The
mission had been broken up several
times by war. At the present time the
society had but one American In the
field, and the report assailed the gen.
eral ability of that man. Bishop Fos-
ter favored discontinuance of the
work, while others wanted stronger
efforts made. 1t was finally decided
to continue the work there, and last
years appropriation, less per cent,
was agreed to.
