throw any light upon her death. Ever
since the remains arrived here. there have
been suggestions OF foul play. Besides
this the newspapers in the vicinity or the
place where she was killed have pub-
hshed rather sensational stories reserriur
to Jasous' brother as the heavy Villain,
ana fatimating that Mrs. Jasous had been
killed
Mr.. Palmer started sut today 10 see II

Palmer says:
Il am powerless to act. and the coroner
can do nothing. am having siifficultv in
getting my goods our of Mrs. Jasous'
house. where used 10 live. and where
the Assyrians are now living. The cor
oner here can do nothing. and as far as
can learn the officers at Ashland are
the proper persons to proceed in the mat

in this connection. then it has been CON-
mkted IN three states. namely, California,
Oregon and Washington
DR.. Clinton Munson. administrator OF
the estate. says he is making an inventory
OF the property. and has written to Ash
land for a list Of the articles found on
the person of the dead woman. He says
1t Is not his business to inquire into the
question of foul play. Mr.. Palmer. how
ever, says no investigation can be salts
factorily carried on without money, as he
thinks the estate could be put TO no bet
ter use than learning il Mrs. Jasous was
the victim OF foul play.
Mr. Jasous and his brother, and their
Assyrian friends feel that 1t IS a great
injustice to the husband OF the dead wo-
man to assume that he would have done
anything but tenderiy care for Mrs. ia

of Worcester. II was evident that there were
many who had come to the meeting drawn
out OF curiosity, and at first there was a little
stiffness, but the fervor of the Salvationists
warmed all hearts and comfortable home
like feeling took possession of the people and
four captures were made.
The Sunday dawned beautiful and clear
and early the people began to come. There
was hardly so large an attendance during the
day as had been expected but thouasnd or
fifteen hundred persons were probably on the
grounds during the day. Brigadior Brewer
and staff led tho meetings and several cap
lures were made during the day. The saliva
tionists are very much pleased with the camp
ground and IL was announced by the BriRa-
dier yesterday that II the camp meeting
proved n success, as IL was hoped IL would,
that this would become one of the annual
features of the Army's work in New England.
The program will be closely followed dur

leader of the Army In New England. and also
at the head Of the slum and rescue work, will
be present that day.
On next saturday and Sunday Colonel

in the United States and second in command

very high.

A good story Is told OF sea captain
who died not long ago, and who was for
merly in command of a ship in which pasI
sengers were carried from London TO Lis
bon. On one occasion the ship caught fire,
and the passengers and crew were com
PEELED TO take hurricdly to the boats. The
captain rernuiuud perfectly couf throughout
all the confusion and fright of the debar-
kation, and at last every one except himself
was got safely into the boats.
BY the time he was ready to follow the
passengers were almost wild with fear and
excitement. Instead of hurrying down the
ladder tho captain called out to the sailors
to hold on minute, and taking cigar
from his pocket coslly lighted IL with hi,
of burning rope which had fallen from the
rigging at his feet. Then he descended
with deliberation and gave the order 10
push off.
"How could you stop to light cigar ai
such momenty'' he was asked afterward
when some of the passengers were talking
over their escape.
Because" he answered, ct saw that II
did not do something TO divert the minds
of those in the boat there was likely TO he
a panic, and, overcrowded as 1t was, there
was danger Of the boat being upset. The
act took but a moment, but it attracted
the attention of everybody. / was not
nearly SO unconcerned as | seemed to be,
but was in reality in fever Of excitement.
My little plan succeeded. You all forgot
yourselves because you were thinking
about my curious behavior, and we got off
safely. "-London Standard.

party had been dwelling on his noncom-

"I'll wager tho champagne for the COM

go down 10 tho cabin and ask Van Buren,
tho simplest question that can bo thought
of he will cvadc n direct answer. Yes,
and I'll give you leave, too. to tell Van
Burcn why you ask the question, and that
there Is bet depending on the reply"
This seemed fair enough. One Of the
party was doputed 20 GO down and try the
