of its inhumanity, as because he fears

Campos has made representations to the

they are said to have fallen on deaf ears,

The matter of the transportation of the
bicycle is giving the railroads trouble.
Shall bicycles be regarded as personal
baggage and carried free, or should they
be packed III with the freight and charged
for by the poundG Some roads have
adopted the former plan and fitted up
cars suitable for their reception, but the
tendency Of the majority of railroads
seems to be to treat them as freight and

| Little Miss Phoebe Gay. By Helen
Girls and the Petrie Estate. This is a
very fascinating story which the author
| let's Little Miss. Phoebe Gay tell of her
delightful home and happy childhood.
In describing her home little Miss Phoebe
whose real name is Calenoers says: "The
Calenders were what the nelghbors called
an old-fashioned family. There were
two big brothers out West, there was
my eldest sister, my lovely sister Lillian,
there were the twins. 1.-THE
two sisters known as the girls,
still away Eat school, the twins known
as the boys and at last came Tommy
and at the foot'' The dearest of grand
fathers and grandmothers were also in
mates of this happy home. Birthdays,
little Miss Phoebe Gay says were great
days in the Calender family, in spite of
the fact that we had thirteen year. !"
The chapter which tells how little Miss
Phoebe Gay and Tommy got up a Christ
mas tree for the rest of the family is very
amusing. Mothers as we'll as the children
will be delighted with this story, which
is sweet and wholesome throughout, and
which shows clearly how pleasant a
home may be made for the little ones
with but slight effort by their elders

Senator Faulkner does not think the
Republican victory. in Maryland was due
to the revolt against German. He seems
to think that Maryland has been Repub-
lican tor some years past on full vote,
but for some reason full vote has not
been thrown, the majority of the stay-at-
homes being Republicans. This year,
he says, the Republicans reserves came
out with the result that the Democrats
were overwhelmed. In the same direc-
ton is the statement of Mr.. Rasin, Cor
mans right hand man in Baltimore, to
the effect that Maryland has been Repub-
lican since 1875 and has only been kept
in the Democratic column by the eficien-
cy of the Baltimore machine.

= The massacres of Armenians in Asiatic
Turkey go on unchecked. Every day s
dispatches bring stories of burning viii
lagos, of desolated homes, and men and
women fleeing for their lives from the
fierce Kurds. So far the missionaries
have escaped, though many of their es-
Establishments have been burned. Mean
while the Powers stand looking on, ap-
parently puzzled what to do. They have
but to say the word, and the tottering
empire of Abdul Hand will fall into
ruins. But after Abdul Hamid, what?
This is the question that is paralyzing
the Powers The fall Of the present en-
peror would undoubtedly be the signal
for an uprising not only in Aslatic
I turkey, but in European Turkey as we'll,
and sore butchery and pillage would
ensure such as has not been seen in mod
ern times. Abdul Hamid can easily be
driven FROM the. throne, but the abolition
of his government before preparations
were completed TO see one up in his stead
that should command the fear if not the
respect of both European andsAsiatic
Turkey would be to make the massacres
that are now confined to a comparatively
small locality, general, both in Asiatic
and European Turkey, Feeble as the
Porte is, it still is able to exercise some
repressive authority. 1t has been able to
protect the missionaries, though it ap-
parently can do nothing to check the
butchery of the Armenians. But were it
swept away with out strong government
to take it's place Immediately, backed
by adequate forces in every part of the
empire, Mussulman fury would be entire
ly unchecked. England's feet in the
Bosphorus would avail nothing to check
the Mussulman fanaticism outside Of
Constantinople. When the Powers act
they must DO prepared to occupy the
whole empire Immediately. Their troops
must be on their borders ready to rush
in and take possession, else there will be
series of massacres compared
with which those that have
alreadytaken place will be insig-
nifcant- To the looker-on, exasperated
by the frightful stories that have flashed
over the wires, the Powers seem slow.
But the-probIem they have to deal with,
is a tremendous one The deposal Of the
existing government is a small and COM
paratiyely Insignificant part of it.
