The Turkish Government Belitties the Tar
 sss Riot-An Inquiry Ordered.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-hcting Secre- tary Adee has received a note from Mavroyeni Bey, Turkish minister to the United States, saying that the Turkish government had informed him that a thorough investigation had been made of alleged outrages on Americans at Tarsus. This showed that the cook in the family of Prof. Christie, of St. Pauls institute at Tarsus, had been assaulted by native Turks, and that no Amer jeans were concerned nor injured. The minister also stated that the offenders would be tried and punished. The state department expects to receive in- formation on the same affair from the United States officials in Turkey, as Minister Terrell advised the depart ment some time ago that he had taken steps to have the matter investigated.

To Clean Oiled WoodMork.

Few things clean vanished or oiled woodwork in a house better than ker- osene rubbed in vigorously with a flannel cloth. Crude petroleum and linseed oil in the proportion of one third of the petroleum to two-thirds of the oil are also good for polishing and cleaning such woodwork as well as hard wood furniture. If very much soiled it is we'll to wipe both wood- work and furniture with a flannel cloth wrung out of warm water; wipe dry quickly and use the oil. If the re- suit is to be success in any cleaning or polishing process the rubbing must be with the grain oft wood and the application must be so thoroughly rubbed in the wood that it will not re- main greasy, sticky substance on the surface ready to imprison every par ticle of dust that settles on it.-N.

JUST THAT KIND or A BOY.
Circus People Steal the Brightest Children
 and She Knew They Had Dave.

| Circus People Steal the Brightest Children and She Knew They Had Dave. The boy was lost at the circus. At least his mother said he was and she ought to know. Moreover, every one M the neighborhood knew it, too, for she was proclaiming the fact of his disappearance in every grocery and on every corner. and to every other mother that she knew.
 He went to the circus with me and the circus has gone out of town and he has been taken with it. know. Those men are always on the lookout for bright children and Dave is just the kind of boy they would naturally jump at," said she, with an air of con- viction.
 What does the boy look like?' asked man in sunburned suit, who had plenty of time on his hands. 'Is he red-headed, with twisted eyes and plenty of freclles on his nose? Does he look as if he were never washed, and arc his stockings in holes, and has his coat been made up of some one else's old one, and does he walk splay- footed like rheumatic turtle, and is he kind of half-witted?"
 The man in the sunburned suit was wise enough to edge away as he asked these questions, and when he finally escaped he muttered: That's all you get for trying to help a woman. She just gets mad. It might have been her boy, even if it wasn't"
 The mother spent two hours chasing up and down streets and asking about her boy and, at last, dead tired, she walked home, heavy-hearted and wretched.
 When she got indoors her husband was enjoying his supper and the boy was facing him at the table, with a piled-up plate and satisfaction in every feature, for the circus had sharpened his appetite.
 As she came in the husband had asked: Where is your mother?" and the boy was replying with his mouth full of meat-pie: Guess she's lost. wonder if some of those cir gus men had stolen her.
 ARd then the mother told the boy that if he ever left her side when she took him to the circus again it would be the last time.-N. Y. Press

 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 24.-H. B, Martin, of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, who has just returned from the east, declares that the knights are in earnest as to the boycott of national bank notes urged by General Master Workman Sov- ereign, and that it will be put into effect after Labor day, Sep tember 2. After that date" says he, 'all knights and their friends, farmers organizations, popu- lists and money reformers generally, are requested to refuse to take bank notes for any obligation due them. We expect active support from the sil- yer men, who recognize in the banks the bitterest enemies to the white metal Many labor organizations have already given notice to their em- ployers that they desire to be paid off in legal tender money, and not in bank notes, and many employers will CO., operate with us. We shall put the bankers on the defensive, arouse public sentiment against banks of issue, and ultimately wipe out the malign influence of the banks in our currency system. It must be remembered that bank notes are not legal tender, and that no man can be forced to take them. By the time congress is in ses- sion, next December, we expect the boycott to be in full swing and to have a good effect on legislation.

THE WEEKS TRADE.
o,,,. Review shows the Usual August
 Shrinkage-Grain Prices.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 24. R G. Dun & co 's weekly review of trade says: Tbe volume of business shrinks, us is
 ,o,ural in August, and the shrinkage seems rather larger than usual, be- ,ouss transactions in July were somcwhat inflated for that month. Some industries are doing more than ever before in August. and inc prospect for fall trade is good in others, although much depends mn the crops, and the outcome is less clear than the speculators on either side are disposed to admit. Industrial troubles have not entirely ceased, but 5uring the past week have become much less threatening.
 The price of wheat has fallen 3Sl cents during the week, recovering A fraction on Thursday, in spite of all efforts to hold back sup niles from farms to encour- age buying. Wheat ought to go abroad freely at present prices, but Atlantic exports, flour included, have been only l,352, 602 bushels for the week, against 2,694, 764 last year, and for four weeks only 4, 34s, ,632 bushels, against lO,037,447 last year. Impress sive stories ot short crops abroad have little weight in the presence of such record, and the abstention of foreign purchases proves more effect i've than the withholding of wheat by western farmers. Naturally the 57- cent wheat of the Pacific caast still goes forward freely in place of the At lantic supplies, Corn has also de- clined A cents, while pork and lard, with accustomed inconsistency, rise shade as corn declines
 Cotton has advanced fraction, to 7.75 cents, without any definite change in crop prospects, and as usual the im- mense volume of stock carried over, in mills and commercial hands, here and abroad, about s, 1000, 900 bales American, is by most traders not appreciated. It is relief to the great industry and in which the enormous orders placed some weeks or months ago cause a phenomenal activity for the season. Failures for the week have been 222 in the United States, against 234 last year, and 43 in Canada, against 33 last last year.

 MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2S.-The wane- houses on the Union steamboat dock at the junction of the Milwaukee and
 Menominee rivers caught fire in some
 way at o'clock yesterday afternoon and were soon a mass of flames, though three alarms were sent in.

THE WALLER CASE.
The Freuch Government Begins to Show
 Signs of Weakening.

SiShb oi
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Acting Sec retary of State Mir. Adee authorizes the statement that information has been received from Ambassador Eustis in response to urgent instruc- tions cabled him some three weeks ago that the record of proceedings and evidence in the court-martial of Mir. Waller at Tamatave is expected to reach Paris toward the end of this month. Mir. Eustis also reports that access to Mir. Waller has been accorded to him after repeated and urgent re- quests made on the reiterated orders of the department of state.
 The department not having been ad- vised whether Mir. Eustis has taken advantage of this permission to dele- gate a competent deputy to visit the prison near ClairvauX, where Mir. Wal Ter is now confined, and confer with him, Mir. Adee has instructed him by telegraph that he should do so at once, if not already done. Mir. Adee adds that this result, reached after repeated tele- graphic instructions, shows the con- stant activity of the department in Mir. Walters case, and it is hoped that the production of the evidence before the court martial will enable the depart, ment to form judgme2t touching the conviction of Mir. Waller
 The following is given in official cir cles as a fair statement of the Wal Ter case: There is no doubt that while in country occupied by the French MT. Waller wrote letters to the people the French were oppos- ing. These letters were traced to him and were made the pretext for his ar- rest. His trial was not fair, and dur ing his imprisonment, both before and after conviction, he was treated with great harshness. He was brought to France chained to the deck of al steamer, and, though i'll and suffering, he was imprisoned without proper care,
