PuLLMAN,s NARROW ESCAPE.

Near Pulling, the Dukes Nose.

Baron Otto Won Fritscl, very clever
and agreeable German nobleman, is in
town OH visit and tells good story
of how he was offered $1,000 to pull
George Pul!man's nose in Chicago the
other day.
1t seems chat the baron was the duIso's
agent at the Chicago exhibition and had
charge of tho Pullman exhibit in tho
Transportation building.
He found Pullman ahard taskmastcr,
and being rather hot tempered himself
ho finally quarreled With his employer
and told him to so to tho deuce.
a Chicago newspaper heard Of the
quarrel and sent representative to the
baron Offering him 81 :, 900 in cash if he
would pull George Pullman's nose in
public.
The baron longed to accept the offer
and would have done SO bad his accounts
with the millionaire been settled.
Ho restrained his desires, settled his
accounts and then offered to do the job
for half the original sum, but tho paper
was then bent on another sensation, and
the negotiations fell through.

Kato Field writes from England:
"Apropos Of Albert memorials, the
newly erected statue i'll Hyde park is
The most hideous thing the human eye
ever bcheld. Tho figure is seated, en-
veloped in a great robe. As the bronze
is gilded, tits impossible to view tho

FEARS OF RADIcALlsM.

Tho NIagnatcs OF London Stirred Up Over
the Coming County Council Election.
Tho elections for tho London county
council, the body which governs tho
whole of this vast metropolis except tho
tiny area known as tho city, will take
place in March, and it is now evident
that they will be fought on strictly po.
litical lines The magnates who own
the greater part of tho land upon which
London stands. including men like
Lord Salisbury, tho Duke of Bedford
and tho Duko of Westminster, are SO
frightened by the increasingly radical,
not to say socialistic, character Of tho
present council that their purse strings,
usually kept tightly tied indeed, have
been unloosed, and they are prepared
to spend 100000 to help tho Tories OBJ
tain a majority.
Several noblemcn even consider tho
emergency so great that they are willing
to sacrifice themselves to the extent Of
becoming candidates and sitting in the
council with quito common people, even
with their own tradesmen, if they can
find constituencies to elect them. The
music hall people havo also thrown in
their lot witt, the Tories, and one Of
them, Mr.. George Edwardcs, manager

1t is now pretty generally understood
both i'll England and America that q
golden key will unlock any gate i'll tho
society of this country Perhaps tho
most striking demonstration yet made
was given last week by somo ono who
responded to all advertisement Offering
to introduce q lady into tho ''snartcsv

lnado in behalf of Il supposed American
young lady whose parents desired to Sc

The writer said: "Though not avcrso
to these ambitious prospects, she does
not enter into them with the zeal neces-
sary to their accomplishment. She is
fully aware of tho disadvantages caused

of which it is desired sho should become

In reply to this came letter from o
lady of tito whose name is known
throughout the world and of tho highest
social position outside Of actual royalty.
Furthermore, it was ascertaincd that
there was no doubt Of the genuincness
of her offer. This, among other things,
she wrote to q perfect stranger:

Charles II. Mcclure, national recorder.
and James f. Adams, national treas
urer. Mr.. Harvey was first elected
head of the order and he then ap-
pointed Messrs. Adams and Mcclure,

complete. No salary attaches to any
of the offices except that of national
recorder, and Mr.. Mcclure announces

ISLAM OR DEATH.
The Atrocities f0mmitted Upon Christian
Armenians Most Appalling.

The Atrocities Omnitted Upon Christian
Armenians Most appalling.
CeNsTANTINOPLE. Dec. l6.-The Sec
ondary effects of the outrages perpe-
trated upon Armenians in the months
past are seen in the advices now being
received from Anatolia, which dwell
upon the terrible distress existing
everywhere. A thousand fueitives
have taken refuge in Black sea ports,
where they remain in de plorable con-
dition. The Kurds continue to pillage
the Armenian villages without oppose
ton from the helpless inhabitants or
from the authorities. During the
last three weeks lG0 villages have
been sacked and 20 men killed.
The villages Of Serai, Hazira, Bohaz-
kessen, Hadjikishla and the Armenian
district of Haisalsor have been laid
waste. The village of Lamasguird has
been raided four times in one week.
The authorities make no attempt to
put stop to the Kurdish raids or to
punish the perpetrators of them. 1t is
feared that the inha bitants of numbers
of villages who have fed through fear
of threatened outrage and have taken
refuge at inaccessible points in the
mountains, will perish during the Sc
we're weather of the winter which is
now coming on. The Armenians are
held in a state of utter despair over
their situation. The scenes which are
daily enacted are too horrible to allow
of description. The survivors of these
massacres are compelled either to
adopt the faith of Islam or be killed.

Speaker Reed has accordingly decided
to appoint two committees to consider
them. The steady growth of the con.

Philadelphia Record says, for the sus.
picion that the $4,000 expenses allowed
to unsuccessful claimants operates as
a bounty to promote fictitious claims,
since the actual expenses Of making a
contest are in most cases much less
than the sum named. In point o.
