ONE of the speakers at the Christian
Endeavor meeting Sunday evening,
quoted people from the country, saying
that fifty per cent of the farming com
munity- parents and children-leave
the churches and Sunday y-schools TO
take care Of themselves, and spend the
day at the bayside. 1--WE know"
said the speaker, ." that considerable
number of the town people do the
same, breaking the commandment. des-
ecrating the day, and subjecting the
young to harmful influences" The
new movement, the Endeavor-to do
better movement, was in spirit antag-
Onistic to those things that make
young people worse instead of better,
and hence it seeks to extend it's influ-
ence for good by combining in a pur-
pose to avoid evil.

A Cry For Relief.
The following telegram was received
by the Anglo Armenian association:
"The Armenians are being massacred
everywhere in Asia Minor. Over
100000 are dying Of starvation and ex-
posure. The Sassoun work Of relief is
closed.
For Gods sake urge the government
to stop the most awful events Of modern
days. The porte is powerless, as all the
telegraphs are under the control Of the
palace officials who have melted the
massacre throughout Anatolia."
A dispatch received here from Rome
says that advices which have reached
there from Constantinople announce
that the agitation against the Christians
of Northern Syria is extending and that
massacres have occurred near Aleppo.

CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia. Nov. l9.-The
four Cherry sisters are unsophisticated
country girls who run farm near this
city. and who in the past four years
have gained much notoriety by reason
of the unique entertainments which
they give They attempted to give one
of these entertainments in the Daniels
Opera House at Marion, but it was
brought to sensational close in less
than half an hour amidst the most in.
tense excitement Scores of fellows
were in the audience with baskets and
bags of decayed fruit, and when the
sisters appeared on the stage they were
made the target of these fellows, who
soon drove them back behind the wings.
When their manager appeared on the
stage and sought to put a stop to this,
he was so roughly handled that he was
rendered unconscious.
The audience was then dismissed, the
officers present making no attempt to
put stop to the disgraceful proceed
ings. 1t is feared the managers in.
juries may result seriously. Suits for
damages will probably be instituted
against the city of Marion and the man
ager Of the opera house.

Wants Greenbacks Retired Be-
cause of Their Menace to

Secretary Morton's Annual Re.
port Devoted to the lnspec-
tiOn Of Cattle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 - President
Cleveland. in his annual message to
congress. it is stated. will recommend
the retirement Of greenbacks. This rec
ommendation will be the chief feature
of the message, so far as domestic af
fairs are concerned.
The president has had number of
conferences with Secretary Carlisle at
Woodley concerning this part of the
message. 1t is learned from excellent
sources that the financial part Of the
message has been mapped out and
agreed upon. The president will re.
turn to the attack upon congress for a
reform of our currency methods, which
proved unavailing last winter.
Has Done All He Could.
He will say that the executive has
done all within his constitutional power
to protect the national credit under the
clumsy system now vogue, and will
point out what the dangers of this sys-
tenn are He will take the ground that
the difficulty is not in any sense one of
revenue, but of the attempt to maintain
of notes redeemable in gold upon de
mand at the same time.
The form Of remedy agreed upon be-
tween the president and Secretary Car
Isle, and to be set forth in the message,
consists Of recommendation that the
statute of 1878, requiring the secretary
of the treasury to reissue United States
notes as soon as they are paid into the
treasury, be repealed, and that he be
Given Authority to Retire Them
from circulation. Also that the secre
tary be authorized to exchange for the
greenbacks at any time new issue OF
government bonds of long term to rur
and at low rate of interest. 1t is the
belief Of the president and the secretary
that the entire outstanding issue o1
greenbacks would be quickly presented
at the treasury counters by the banks
of the country in exchange for these
bonds, and that the bonds would soor
be deposited as basis Of an increased
| circulation of national bank notes.

A BEAUTIFUL STATE OF THINGS

Two Battalioas Of Troops Guard the Sui
tan-Young Turk Movement Grows.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, via Varna, Nov. 10.
Anti Christian placards have been
torn down by the police at Scutari, AL
bania, where dangerous agitation is
in progress The Turkish officials do
not seem to be doing more than making
show of frowning upon it.
The Armenian leaders Of Constanti-
nople are compelled to keep in hiding
for fear of arrest. The Turkish police
continue throwing Armenians into
prison, and secret executions are said to
be of frequent occurrence.
Gotten Up to Detract Attention.
The young Turks movement is
actively proceeding in spite Of the des-
perate efforts made by the Turkish
officials to suppress it, and it is said
that much Of the onslaught upon Ar
menians is due to the fact that the porte
desires to detract attention from the
Mohammedan agitation against the sui
tan. The palace spies and police are
kept busy night and day in Constanti-
nople; but this does not prevent the
revolutionary movement from spread
ing.
Sultan's Life in Danger.
The two battalions of troops and the

MR.. MORTON'S ANNUAL REPORT

1t Is Mostly Devoted to the Subject of
Cattle Inspection.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The report
of the secretary of agriculture begins
with review Of the work of the bureau
of animal industry. The total number
of animals inspected at the slaughter
houses WAS considerably over lS, 600, 900.
an increase of more than 100000 over
the previous year. During the year
antemortem inspection was also made
of 5000, 600 animals. The cost of in
spection was reduced to IL cents per
animal. In 1898 inspection cost 4s4
cents per animal and in 1894 it cost Ia
cents
Over 100000 animals, cattle and
sheep We're inspected for foreign markets,
of which 675 900 were shipped abroad
Over 5,00O, 900 pounds of pork were in
spected mlcroscopically and exported as
against 81, ,OoO, 900 in 1894 and %, ,OOO 900
pounds in 1898
Markets for American Meat.
Much space is devoted to discussing
the opportunities for American meat
products in foreign markets. OF 34l 900
tons of meat received at the London
Central market in 1894 1000 tons
were American, while nearly $4,000
tons came from Australia The Amer.
lean proportion has not been maintained
during 1895.
In the imports of live cattle to Great
Britain. the United States and Canada
had a practical monopoly until the last
two years. Since 1898 Argentina S
shipments have increased. During the
t eight months of the year, ship.
l..ents amounted to over $4,000 head.
Although the meat of the South Amer.
ican cattle is not as salable as the
American, the business is profitable and
likely to increase. American cattle
sell, though slaughtered soon after
landing at prices equal to the average
paid for British carcasses

THE POLICE IN POLITICS.
Startling Testimony Brought Ont at the
Philadelphia Municipal Inves tigation.
The Efficacy of "Pull."


Philadelphia. Dec. 13.-At today's ses-
sion Of the senatorial investigating COM
mittee a further exposure of the unlaw-
full activity of the police in politics was
made. A number of witnesses from the
First ward gave testimony of the con-
duct of the police during the fractional
fight last fall between the followers Of
Senator Quay and those opposed to him.
All of the witnesses belong to the Quay
faction. They told Of how the police
threw their voters out of the polling
places at the election to elect delegates
to a ward convention to nominate dele
gates to the state convention.
Several witnesses who were regularly
accredited delegates to the convention
related how. when they went to the con-
vention hall, they found big squad of
policemen lining the sidewalk before 1t.
and when they attempted to enter they
were elected by the police and clubbed
when they resisted. A sergeant in COM
mand of these policemen remarked to
one of the delegates he threw out that
he was sorry to have to do 1t, but he was
acting under orders. These orders came
presumably from the ward leaders op-
posed to Quay.
Considerable other testimony was
brought out showing that a policeman
with a "pull'' can do most anything
from seducing a girl to stealing dogs
and still retain his position on the force.
When the committee adjourned it was
decided to meet again on "Wednesday
next.

Informal Recommendations Concerning

Informal lamentations Concerning
tho Delegate Eicctions-Mr. Cameron
for Chairman.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13-It has leaked
out that at the meeting Of the execu-
tive committee at the headquarters Of
the Republican state committee Thurs
day evening, among other subjects the
location Of the national convention was
discussed. Senator Quay said that the
following state voted for Pittsburg:
Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Delaware.
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, South Dakota, Ohio and the ter
ritory of Oklahoma. The solitary vote
cast for Pittsburg on the fourth ballot
was that of Colonel Lamb. of Virginia.
1t was agreed that the reform plank
Of the Republican party Of Pennsyl-
vania should be formulated. submitted
to the state committee, indorsed by the
state convention and passed through
the legislature, II the Quay people are
in control Of these bodies. and shall
also be demanded Of the national con-
vention.
AS a result of the conference Senator
Cameron will probably head the list Of
delegates at Large, and be chairman Of
the Pennsylvania delegation. 1t was
also agreed that an informal recon-
mendation be made that the district
delegates be elected prior to the 23d Of
April, and be assembled at Harrisburg
on that day, and II possible. an agree
ment be made by which the vote Of
Pennsylvania shall be cast solidly for
the candidate Of her choice or first
ballot. II the agreement Is concluded
at Harrisburg resolution will probably
be passed by the, state convention in
structlng the eight delegates-at-large
accordingly II the conflicting opinions
cannot be reconciled, the further con-
sideration OF the question will probably
be postponed until the delegation meets
at st; Louis. and the solid vote Of the
Pennsylvania delegation will probably
be cast on the hrst ballot for . Penn
