Mrs. Joseph Harper, wife of one of the
firm of publishers, has received letter
from Mrs Robert Minturn, protesting
against the publication of ''Trby." Mrs.

New Workers are using cooked bananas
more and more. One of the famous sp4-
cialties Of the Manhattan Club is fried
baIApas; they fry them there as doughnuts
are fried, by dropping them into a vessel
OF boiling fat. They are excellent treated
i'll this way, but the method is troublesome
and expensive. Baked bananas are much
easier obtained, and are really better than
any other form of the cooked fruit. just
the wrong way to bake them is frequently
followed; that is, they are taken out of
the skins: then it is necessary to put wine
or lemon and sugar on them to give them
flavor, but il tbey are baked in their jack
cts they have a delightful acid of their
own, and eaten with cream and sugar are
a delicious dish and are very Ilourishing
The fruit should be well ripened and the
oven fairly hot. Ten or twelve minutes
will usually suffice toacook them. They
should be softened all through when done.

horses in its fire department One acts
as watch dog, another chews tobacco
another has developed a fondness for
raw onions, another kisses his driver
and another is ever on the alert to go to
a fire, taking almost human interest
in his work, but he does not like to be
fooled, and the daily training he de-
spises. He is always first to spring under
the harness when the signal is given;
but when the firemen unharness him
and attempt to lead him back to his
stall he manifests his disappointment
by an ugly shake of his head, striking
cut with his fore feet, kicking with his
hind feet, and then bounding back 10

held an informal reception at his hotel
Answering the query of a reporter as
to what he thought of Schlatter, he
said:
II think it is a craze. Schlatter is in
sane, and the people who believe in him
are in the same condition All the mir
acle workers of the world, if honest,
have been insane. This is a natural
world. The supernatural does not ex-
ist. No miracle ever was or ever will
be performed

AT present Reed and Mckinley are

heard many say they We're for General

have New england, maybe New York
and Pennsylvania These States have
about 214 votes. That will be a good
start Mckinley will have about the
same, I should think. But no one can
tell what is to happen. A thousand
things not now known or dreamed Of
may determine the matter. Maybe a
dark horse will be chosen. No one can
tell what luck, accident, awkward
ness and design may do"
When told tonight by the United

LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Times Wiu
tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Julia, dated November 2Sth. saying
that the Armenian villages between
Persia and Van, probably to the num-
Der OF forty-six. have been destroyed
by the Hamidieh cavalry. All the re-
ports say that the number of persons
killed was very large. The refugees
are mostly going to the city of Van.
There VIII probably be a massacre in
Van soon.
Reports say that the Hamidleh cav
airy are riding over the entire Prov
ince OF Van and committing horrible
atrocities. Many women have been
carried to the mountains. Van is the
only place that has been untouched
by the Kurds, who are seizing large
numbers Of sheep and cattle.
The whole population of the village
OF Jurtalon, numbering 200, have been
killed.
The Hamidieh cavalry attacked Ko-
tomr, a Persian village, but were re-
pulsed by the garrison in the fort. The
Turkish regulars waited outside the
village to join in the prospective plum
der. After being repuised the Hani-
dleh cavalry destroyed a Smau Persian
village.
Armed bands of Armenians are en-
teling Van from Persia. one band
fought the Hamidieh cavalry for two
days near Serai. Many are reported
to have been killed. The cavalry with
drew and plundered and destroyed
Serai. Many HISTORIANS in the Bash
kCli district are reported 10 have been
killed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 29.-Des-
pite the PorteS repeated promises to
the American Minister, MIR. Terrell, the
missionaries at Marash were not al
forced protection until eight hours after
the second terrible massacre at that
place, during which the American The
ological Seminary was plundered and
burned. The missionaries reported
ON November 10Th that they were safe,
but since then nothing has been heard
OF them. The non-arrival of letters
giving details of the disorders at hhar-
pOot and MarsOVan on November 10th
and 18th creates the belief that the
missionaries mail has been stopped.
1t is announced from ErzerOum that
the Government has instituted a com
mission to compel the restitution OF
their property to the Armenians who
were robbed during the disorders there.
Some prominent Armenians are men,
bers of the commission The Govern
ment has agreed to the appointment
of a committee to receive donations for
the relief of needy Armenians.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-General
convicted of the murder of Blanche La
mont, continued to read the prisoners
affidavits in support of the motion for
a new trial with monotonous regular
ity before Judge Murphy to-day. The
General dilated upon the fact that
while witnesses were excluded from the
courtroom during the trial, newspapers
We're permitted to publish the evidence
verbatim daily. This, according to the
affidavit was a grievous injustice to
the prisoner.
Judge Murphy expressed surprise at
this contention. When Mr. Dickinson
referred to the ''howling mob" that con-
tinually crowded the courtroom, rem
dering it extremely difficult for jurors
to gain entrance, the Judge plainly be-
came irritated, and when the General
proceeded to say that on several Occa-
slonS there was an open demonstration
in court Of approval of certain evidence
given for the prosecution, he became
angry indeed. He said: Il am tired
OF these sweeping assertions. Why
don't you mention instances?"
VOgel, claiming that she was applauded
as she left the stand Judge Murphy
replied that he was very attentive
throughout the trial, and had heard
no such demonstrations of feeling, and
would insist upon specific illustration.
Later in the day, when District At
torney Barnes objected to the admis
sion Of an affidavit by Durrant's
father concerning the remarks of Ju-
ror Smythe after the trial, Judge Muir
ply stated that he would err on the
side of the defense and permit the affi-
dayit to be read, remarking signih-
cantly that the Supreme Court would
probably censure him for SO doing.
This would indicate that the Judge
does not propose to grant new trial to
Durrant.
AT the time of the adjournment, Mr.
Dickinson still had a bunch of unread
affidavits to dispose of, and the day of
sentence was as remote as ever.

According to Troy fisherman, tho lat
est triumph of Yankee inventive genius
is an India rubber tishworm. 1t is said
TO be a remarkably good imitation of the
common earthwornl, is indestructibie,
and in actual use proves as aliuring TO the
fishes as the genuine article. The old
fishermen will be quick to see it's advan-
tages. one can equip himself for days
sport without digging over q whole gar
den in his search for bait. A handful or
India rubber worms will last him whole
season, and there will be no necessity Tor
pulling UP the lines every few minutes TO
see if the small-fry nibblers have left the
hook bare. II is possibly hardly neces-
sary 10 add here that the fisherman VINO
tells of this invention may be Ike other
fishermen, in which case the reader need
not believe the story unless he wants to.

GOLD FIELDS IN UTAH.
Rich Discoveries Reported to Have
Been Made at NIercur.


SALT LAKE Otah9 Nov. 29.-Re-
cent discoveries of vast gold fields have
been made at Mercur, about sixty-five
miles south of Salt Lake City, which
give every indication of making that
place not only the largest and richest
gold-mining camp in America, but in
the world.
For about two years only one prop
erty has been operated, and that by
the Mercur Gold Mining and Milling
Company, and in that period it has
paid dividends of over $600,000 1t
now appears that the valley for many
miles in every direction contains ore
equally as rich or richer than the Mer-
cur Company's property. Within
very short period a district of seven
miles has been almost entirely taken
up, and fully a thousand miners and
prospectors are at work Three new
mills have been started up, and ire now
operating even more pfofitabiy than
the original one. New discoveries are
being made daily, and there is great
excitement.
The extent of the surface in which
the ore is found appears to be practl-
cally unlimited, and the stock of nu-
mefOuS companies WHICH nave DSCh l {
Gently incorporated are eagerly sought
for at from 30 cents to 81 share.
Captain Delamar, the multi-million-

purchase the properties of the Mercur
Company for 81, 5000 The option
runs until January 9th. and there is

running S12 to $14 to the ton, although
in spots it runs as high as $500 but
the quantity of it seems to be practi-
cally unlimited. English experts who
have thoroughly examined the ground
say that it is a richer and more extern

Africa Pay ore is found at a depth Of
300 feet
