In response to question asked by 4
lady the great Napoleon replied:
MY ideal woman is not the beautiful

tries in vain to keep her in repair, nor the
fragile butterfly of fashion, who gilds the
fortunes of disease with II forced smile
"Nol My ideal is u woman who has &C
ceptcd her being as Il sacred trust, and
who obeys tho laws Of nature for the pros
ervation Of her body and soul.
ado you know, my knee Involuntary
bends in homage when l meet the matron
who reaches middle ago in complete pres
ervation?
THAT woman is rendered beautiful by
perfect health, and the stalwart children
by her side arc her reward. That's my
ideal woman. London Advertiser.

WAR TO THE DEATH.


Plate Glass Manufacturers Commence
Their Battle for Cut in Prices.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. With the
now year will commence the war to
death between tho plate glass manu-
facturers of this country. A cut of 20
per cent from existing prices will be
made by the Diamond Plate Glass Co.,
of Kokomo, Ind, and tho Pittsburg
Plate Glass Co.
The cut is caused by the recent con-
ference in Pittshurg of plate glass manu-
facturers. At this meeting an attempt
was made to form combination of
plate glass interests but finally fell
through. O. Is. Mclean, of the Pitts.
burg Plate Glass Co., in speaking of
this meeting said:
1--WE were to increase our stock to
100000 and buy the other plants.
An agreement was finally reached and
these were the valuations,
"The Pittsburg Plate Glass Co.'s
plant, $5,30o,000; the Diamond plant,
81, 000, 900; the Howard Works, 5000 900,
and the Charlerois and Chrystal plants,
81, 100000 q piece.
"Another meeting was held at Ceve-
land later, at which the Howard Glass
Co. refused to sell, although they had
agreed to take 100000 for the plant at
tne conference. Consequently the com
bination was declared off.
1--WE have beeh notified that the
Diamond Co. would cut the price of
plate glass 90 per cent tomorrow. We
will make the same cut and the price Of
plate glass will be 291 cents per square
foot. The present price is about 50
cents
"fho effect of this cut is that the
small plants will have to shut down.
The only two that can afford to run are
the Diamond and our own. We cannot
tell where this will end. The price of
plate glass has been coming down right
along. Two years ago it was worth
$2.40 square foot. cannot predict
what complication will follow this re-
duction."

FIFTEEN THOUSAND VICTIMS
OF the Horrid Sutchery by Turkish
Soldiers In Armenia.

Women Outraged aud Murdered-No
Quarter Given, IN Mercy Shown-15, COO
Persons BILLED aud 50 villages Plum
aered.
BosToH, Jan. 1.-Letters have been
received by well-knowa parties in this
city from reliable sources in Turkey,
giving still further testimony regarding
the outrages III Eastern Turkey. The
following letter comes from a city not a
great distance from the scene of the
outrageS. The writer of the letter is
man in whom the highest confidence
may be placed, who has spent more
than third Of century il that region
and knows the country and people per-
fectly. The testimony is from source
which is entirely independent Of any
which has been given before. Later
accounts Increase, if possible, the horrors
Of what has taken place.
The letter just received is as follows;
The Armenians, oppressed by Kurds
and Turks, said they could not pay
taxes to both Kurds and government.
Plundered and oppressed by the Kurds,
they resisted them; there were some
killed. TLea false reports were sent to
Constantnople that the Armenians
were in arms in rebellion. Orders were
sent to the Mushir at Erzingan to ex-
terminate them, riot and branch. The
order read before tho army, collected in
haste from all tho chief cities Of Eastern
Turkey, was;
Whoever spares man, woman or
child is 'lisloyal."
Theregion was surrounded by soldiers
of the army, and 10000 Kurds also are
SAID TO have been massed there. Then
they advanced upon the centre, driving
In the people like flock of sheep, and
continued thus 10 advance for days. No
quarter was given, no mercy shown.
Men, women, and children were shot
down and hutchered like sheep. Prob.
ably when they were set upon in this
way some tried to save their lives and
resisted in self-defence, while those who
could fled in all directions, but the ma
| jority were slain. The most probable
| estimate is 1900 killed, 35 villages
plundered RACED and burned. Women
| were outraged and then butchered. A
| priest was taken to the roof Of his
church and hacked to pieces and set
on fire. A large number of
women and girls collected in q

| the brutal soldiers, and then murdered.
1t is said the number was so large that
the blood flowed out of the church
door. The soldiers commended over a
beautiful girl; they wanted to preserve
her, hut she too, was killed. Every effort
is being made, and will be made to fall
sify the facts and pull the wool over the
eyes of European governments. But the
bloody tale will finally be known, the
most horrible, it seems 10 me, that the
nineteenth century has known, AS o
confirmation Of the report, the other
day several hundred soldiers were re.
turning from the seat of war and at a
village near us one was heard to say
that lie alone, with his own hand, had

seem to have some shame for their afro,

Editor Gazette: AS the move
ment for local option convention at

mated by the Ministerial Union of this

as an humble member of that union, that
this movement" has, at no time, com
mended itself to my judgment as a wise
or useful measure. | recognize the
right and duty of every one to follow

lions of right and duty. My convictions
constrained me to dissent from the main
proposition and, as consequence, from
the details OF the methods suggested to
give it effect.
sincerely believe that the projected
movement is, (1), contrary to the best
principles of wise political economy;
(2), is not in accord with the spirit and
letter of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our
Master, and is (3), not in harmony with
the functions Of the office Of those who
claim to be 'ambassadorsh of Him
whose ministers We are supposed to be.
Conceding most fully the right of
others to think and act as they believe
to be right, l write this note chiefly to
say, as member OF the union, what my
own convictions are. l have soindicated
my views in substance to the members
of the union during the discussion, and
beg to be permitted to express them
thus briefly to the public. / believe that
in due time these views will be accepted
by the best citizens of this State, whose
highest welfare and greatest prosperity
is most heartily desired by me.
The treatment Of those evils with
which "Christian ministers" must deal,
has been fully unfolded in the Scrip
lures, and have no disposition to sub.
stitute any human prescriptions for
those of the Great Physician whose
disciples we profess to be. Having said
this, it is almost needless to add that |

we are shut up to the use Of "weapons
that are not carnal," but most efficient

BALTIMORE BUSINESS.
A Review Of the Year shows Falling o q
from the showing of 1898.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. IA review
Of the trade of Baltimore for the year
ended yesterday shows decrease in the
total volume Of business as compared
with 1898. The showing was expected
by all classes of business men.
In 1893 the business depression was
only felt during the last six months, the
first half of the year being ahead of the
average trade of tho city for the same
period in many years. In 1894 the de-
preston continued in all branches until
the opening Of the fall trade, when a
marked Improvement was noted,
The total receipts of the Baltimore
postoflice in the sale of stamps, &C.,
show an increase for the year of $14, 141.
Internal revenue collections for the
year aggregated S4,577 ,455, an increase
of 1897 1898.
Bank clearings were only $35, 900 less
than in 1893.
Receipts of the custom house from all
sources show decrease of 1897 ,7S2.
In the railroad business, the effect oil
the dull times was most sharply felt
Yet in the last few months there ha;
been decided improvement in traffic
especially upon the lines lying east OF
Alisghenies. Nearly all of them have
earned their usual divisends and nc
receiverships have been experienced BY
the lines Immediately surrounding thi;
city.
The falling off in immigrants arriving
at this port was most marked. In 1893
nearly 10000 landed; in 1893, the mum
Der reached $4,000; while for 1894 only
$500 arrived.
The coffee trade and values gradually
declined during the entire period, show
ing net shrinkage of st cents pei
pound for the year. Importations ex
hibit slight decrease from last year
the total being 213,S24 bags for 1894
against 237 asa for 1893.
During the year 16 new vessels were
built in the district of Baltimore, sever
steam and nine sail, valued at 1921 ,732
This makes total of lao vessels owned
and documented in the district, having
q net tonnage of l0S,7lS tons and repre-
senting a carrying capacity OF 271,39;
| tons.
There were GU reports of marine dis
| asters filed with the collector, showing
the loss of 81 lives, $129,035 in vesse
property and $3.50 in cargo.
The crop Of Maryland tobacco which
came to market during the past year wa
the largest raised in this State since
1885, receipts amounting to $500 hogs
heads.
