ished or are on the verge, through star
walton and suffering, of the grave. OF
these $4,000 have been butchered out
right and day after day the outrages and
the tragedies continue, the unfortunate
Armenians being crushed from the earth
Mt the rate of nearly thousand a day.
What the sword leaves undOne starva-
ton completes, and by the time Europe
awakes to its responsibility the Armenian
question shall have settled itself by the
complete determination of the Christian
population of the country.
Holy War May Come.
The condition of things i'm Turkey I'M
der Abdul Hamid is strikingly like what
1t was nearly twenty years ago under
Abdul Aziz. Turkey was insolent then
as she is now. In 1876 the massacres
were in Bulgaria. Now they are in Ar
menia. Then il was the slaughter of
Turks by Bulgarian Christians who de-
SPARED of help from the powers that
provoked the horrible slaughters in re-
turn. Now the Armenian Christians, de-
sparing Of help from the powers, have
planned and carried out an uprising,
which in turn has been put down with
ferocious cruelty by the Sultan. In 1876
Abdul Aziz was called upon by the pow
ers to introduce reforms which were tan
tamount TO giving his Christian subjects
immunities and rights not guaranteed to
his Mohammedan subjects. The result
was that the latter were infamed TO a
dangerous pitch of revolt. That expert
ence is duplicated now. Nothing more
dreadful could happen to Christian hui
manity in the remote east than the out
break of holy" war, a war in which
the followers of Mahomet should draw
the sword of determination against not
only every Christian missionary, but ev-
cry citizen of a Christian state where
ever found.
When it is borne in mind that the fol-
lowers Of Mahomet number at the lowest
calculation 100000, 900, some idea may
he gained of what general religious out
break against Christianity among them
would mean. There are 5,0OO,OOO in
Egypt, vast numbers i'm The colonies of

save Persia and Morocco. where the head
of the faithful is Ali, son-in-law of Mo-
manned. There is only one way of pro-
claiming holy war. There is only one
man who can proclaim II. The Sultan Is
that man. When the formal words de-
claring war against foe are uttered, ac-
cording to strict Moslem ritual. every
Mohammedan in Asia or Europe must re-
spond as he hopes 20 attain paradise. All
Turkey would be in an uprosr at once.
The fate of Christian missionaries to the
southwest and southeast Of the Sea of
Marmora would be sealed. Bloodshed
would follow in all quarters of the East
OF course the powers would win In the
end. The struggle would be n long one,

TRUSTING WOMEN.
THEIR CONFIDENCE OFTEN LEADS
TO SUFFERING.
An Ohio Woman's Experience, as Here
Related, is Interesting to Every
American Woman.
ESPECIAL TO Our LADY xrADrxs..

It is a very sad fact that the more a
woman trusts TO the skill of her physician
in treating her female complaints, the
longer she is apt TO suffer.
Lydia f. Pinkham fully realized this
fact when she commenced that exhaus-
tive study that has enabled the women Of
the world 10 help themselves. She dis
covered the source of female complaints,
and produced the Vegetable Compound,
which is their absolute cure.
When such testimony as the following
is given, the woman who thinks should
act quickly, and no longer permit herself
10 trust TO incompetent doctors. The
Vegetable Compound is sold by all drug
gists, and every woman should have it.

STRAITS 0fNFTHE BospHoRUs.

The old fortresses of Asia and Europe
stand on either shore of the Bosphorus,
about half way up, where the channel is
unusually narrow. and at a point once
travelled by the celebrated bridge of Da-
RUS. The fort of Asia, Anadoli Hissari,
rises on the lip of pleasant rivulet,
which empties itself into the Bosphorus.
The fort of Europe Roumeli, Hissari, ON
the opposite shore, is of singular construc-
ton. The ground plan forms the charac-
tiers of the prophets name, by whom ira
dition says it was built in six days, by
permission of the Greek Emperor This
fort possesses great strength, strategic
and defensive. 1t is well supplied with
water and the means of storing provis-
ions.
The city of Constantnople itself occu-
pies triangular promonotorysn above the
Propontis. 1t has been strongly fortified
on all sides, including the side washed by
The sea and that which is the base of the
triangle and connects it with the main.
land. The walls extend twelve mileg,
sweeping from sea to sea, running along
the whole length of the harbor and ter
minating in the celebrated fortress Of the
Seven Towers. At some points the foun-
dation of the walls is formed by huge
masses of rock, a species of architecture
still to be traced in few of the most
ancient Grecian structures and formerly
termed Cyclopaean. mother ports, par
ticularly on the side of Marmora, the
masonry commences regularly from the
edge of the water. The most ancient por-
ton of the walls is necessarily that which
incloses the ancient Byzantium, now
known as the Seraglio Point, where the
apex of the triangle divides the Propontis
from the port, and instead of being peo-
pied by the busy multitude of the city,
is silent in the stateliness of its gilded
palace and overhanging groves. These
walls that are now standing were built
over 900 years ago.

Alarm for Constnntiuople.
The heart grows sick over the recital
of the outrages and butchery of the Ar
menians by the Turks. So fearful were
the massacres that 1t was hard TO place
reliance upon the earlier reports from
the scene of disturbance. But as report
after report came In they only confirmed
the inhuman treatment heaped upon the
helpless followers of Christianity. The
testimony from n number of sources,
whose reliability is undisputed. Is that
the worst has yet to be told. The latest
advices are that the determination of the
Armenians goes right on despite the pro-
tests of Christendom and the presence of
the warships of the civilized powers in
Turkish waters. The Sultan cannot stop
the butchery even il he 40 willed. His
time is taken up in planning to ward off
the assassins who are seeking his life.
Therefore the murderous Turks are left
free to carry out their bloodthirsty pro-
pensities. Until q chcckren can be APP
piled to these uniformed rufiians the
massacre will go on in spite of the APP
peals brought to bear 10 have them
stopped. For days past Turks and Kurds
have been pouring into Constantinope
from the devastated regions of Asia
Minor. Their primary object is the dis
posal of the plumber which they have OBJ
tanned during the massacres. They are
also hopeful of richer harvest in the
event of the Sultan's permitting a rising
at STEAMBOAT. Their stories, coupled with
the display of plumber, have inhamed
the lowest class of Moslems. They are
ready to seize upon the slightest provoca-
ton for an attack. 1t is unwholesomely
significant of this state of affairs that the
government is seizing and deporting daily
numbers of Armenians of the poorest but
most robust class.
Ii is hard for the unseeng to believe
to realize that at this very moment, men,
women and children are being butchered
within sound of the guns of the fleets of
Christian Europe. But such is the actual
state of things, and while the sword of
the Moslem runs red with Christian
blood, Europe stands idly by utterng pub
lie protests, whereas she should enforce
her demands until the Turk was rendered
harmless for oppression or wiped from the
face of the earth. There should be no
compromise when civilization meets saw

FORTS OF THE DARDANELLES.


What Gunboats Would Encounter En-
Route to Constantinople.
Naval engineers are Of the opinion that
Constantinople cannot be successfully as
saulted by water. They claim that the
Dardanelles and the Bosphorus offer a
protection that practically means the de-
struction of any fleet that should attempt
to approach the city without the Turks
consent. The Dardanelles from Sestos
and Abydos to the Sea of Marmora, is
filed with torpedoes. The high, rocky
shoes bristle with double line of fort
resses. The entrance to the Dardanelles
is narrow. The current is strong and ma

down to common Pimple.
He has tried 1t in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his

latter road would by the terms of
