HIS Choice RESTRICTED
Men ofInternational Repute
for the Commission.
Tho President Is Searching the
Colleges for Men Who Are Not
Politicians-Namcs May Be Given
Out in a Few Days-Daily Con-
sultations with Olney.

Washington, Dec. "a. The Vene-
zuelan boundary commission will prob
ably not be announced by President
Cleveland until the latter part of this
week or the first part of next week. 1t
will consist most likely of three mem
bers. The presidents aim is to put on
the commission only such men as will
inspire respect and confidence on both
sides of the Atlantic, and whose ac-
quirements will be acknowledged by
the world of craftsmanship, science and
letters. In making the selections, men
with whom politics is simply an incl
dent and not their profession, will be
preferred, and one close to the plesi-
dent is authority for the statement
that probably not single name so far
mentioned will be found on the com
mission. The president, it is known, is
searching the universities and colleges
Of this country for scitah!c men. The
high standard which the president has
set for the commission, restricts the
circle from which the members can be
chosen, and in this sense simplifes his
work. Secretary Olney is in daily con-
sultation with the president on the
matter

APPEAL TO OUR PEOPLE
Money Needed for the Red
Cross Relief Fund.
Rev. Judson Smith, ID. D., Wants
the People of Boston to Lead
Subscription with $4,000 To Bo
Followed by the Rest of tho
Country.
Count ry.

Boston, Dec. 24.-The Rev. Judson
Smith, ID. D., secretary of the American
board, has furnished the following:
appeal to the people of the United
States: Letters from Turkey and per-
sonal communication with officers OF
the Red Cross impel me to make an ap-
peal to the people of the United States.
This appeal is made at the instance of
the ministers meeting convened in Pill
grim hall to consider relief for Arme-
mans. The multitudes of the suffering
and perishing in Armenia have not
been in the least exaggerated, and
their distress deepens daily. Whatever
is done for their help must be done
now, or it will be too late The de-
mand is imperative for large sums to
be sent Immediately on their way. The
National Red Cross has publicly an
nounced its readiness to undertake this
work of relief. But the Red Cross can
not move in this work until it has suf-
,dcient funds with which to make "a
beginning, and these funds ought to be
instantly placed at its disposal. Will
not Boston without delay by large gifts
set the pace for the country in this
matter and put $50, 900 at once at the
command of the Red Cross? The ex-
pedition can then be on it's way before
the week ends, and the ministry of re-
lief which it is to render be promptly
begun. What do the men and women
of Boston say? What response shall
be made by the people of the United
States?"
Sad News for Lynn Armenians.
Lynn, Mass, Dec. 24.-Intense ex-
citement prevailed among the Ar
menian residents of this city when
an Armenian visited the Morocco
factory of Ira S. Franklin of Broad
way, Wyoma, and exhibited to his
twenty-five fellow corntrymen en-
ployed there letter informing them
that many of their wives and children
had been slaughtered and their homes
and property destroyed. The Armeni-
ans at once called upon their foreman
and asked permission to leave the
factory and held a meeting at one OF
their boarding houses where the letter
with its hcartrending details was read
to the assembled men.

HIS HORRIBLE CRIME.
Executive Reward offered for MUIR
dcrer Payne In North Carolina.

Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 24.-An execu-
tive reward has been offered for James
Payne, whose crime was one of the
worst murders ever committed in North
Carolina. He was in love with the
daughter of Mrs. Sarah Anderson in
Madison county, but his character being
extremely bad, had been told he could
not visit her house. He did go, how
ever, at time when he knew the
family were absent, save the mother
and some little children. Though re-
fused entrance, he succeeded at last in
gaining entrance into the room where
Mrs. Anderson lay with an infant be-
side her. He was ordered to leave but
again refused and then the woman
struck him with shovel. Payne then
drew pistol and shot her in the back,
holding the pistol SO close to her that
it set fire to her clothing. The bullet
passed through her heart. Payne has
fed into Tennessee. Mrs. Anderson
was so years old and leaves over a
dozen children.
