A bold and fearless statement was
made in this column a few days ago
touching beauty. 1t was put forth that
there were only three actresses ON earth
who could lay an honest claim to boauty.
"Clara NJ. writes that her curiosity

Tho the three are. Now, it would be
very uugallaut to say The statement
has all the actresses in the world guess

are mentioned each of our f0Otlight

Why spoil their fun? What is the use Of

she be an actress, could lay an honest
claim to recognition as one Of the three

The Sultan Thirsty For The

London. Dee. 15-The Daily
News has Il dispatch from Cons
tantinople, dated Dec /, which
SAYS: News is daily received
here of thousands of Armenians
who are offered the choice be-
tween Islam and death. AT
Marasl,, an Armenian who was

man refused and was killed by

persons died martyrs to their

were ordered 10 change their
faith. Fifty of them rushed
into the Elphrates and were
drowned, the Turks shouting
them while they We're i'll the
water. At Holm eighty five
were killed.
This day the British vice
consul at Van describes the
condition of the Armtnians
There as being Too appalling for
words. Thousands of women

shelter or food, and barefootpd,

Everybody is aware that Eel

and Bashi Bazouks and that
such a sortie was impossible.
The object Of the falsehood is
to alierale sympathy from the
Armenians. This means thai
the doom of the Zeitounists is
sealed. The Sultan means to
seize an excuse to onder their
determination. On Thursday

ACTON CAMPERS VEXED
GENERAL ENLARGEMENT SHARPLY
CRITICISED AT MEETING.
Claim that the Treasury In bankrupt
-Cottngers Meet to Discuss the
Tax DeIinquencies.

There was meeting, yesterday after
noon. at the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall of Acton
camp meeting tent holders. There were
fourteen persons present. most of them be-
ing ladies. Rev. DIR. Dashiell, presiding
elder. was chairman of the meeting. 1t
was reported that the tents, or cottages,
more properly speaking were about 10 be
levied upon for taxes which had run delin-
quent now for two years. Three years ago
the Supreme Court decided that the cot
tages owned by individuals were properly
subject 10 taxation. but il seems that the
members were not notified of their liability,
and they now find tax and penalty stand
ing against them. The town OF Acton is
said TO need the money for school pur-
poses, and is pressing the collection OF
the amounts due upon County Treasurer
Holt. 1t was also intimated that the viii
layers are anxious for few sheriffs sales,
in order TO secure some good barns cheap.
The cottage owners had general COM
plant TO make of over appraisement, say
ing that most OF the cottages were assessed
Tor twice. and. In some cases, three times
their value. n committee was appointed

mate. The committee consists of j. r.

erts.
much secrecy about the matter. He init
mated that the officers had been neglectful
Of their duties. A motion was made declar-
ing il the sense of the meeting that the
expenses OF the camp ground should be cut
down by reducing the salaries of the super
intendent from $3.50 to $50 a year and OF
the treasurer from $50 TO $25 a year. The
management OF III. a. Grassland. super
intendent, was criticised. and the trustees
were charged with indifference toward the
welfare OF the camp ground. 1t was said
that Mr.. Grassland started in with salary
of $50 year, but that IL had been sue
cessively raised until il about exhausted
the receipts OF the camp ground associa-
ton. which is now bankrupt. The trustees
have made the contracts at the old figure
for the present year, so that nothing can
be done until next year, except in case OF
designations Rev. Il. IL. McLain was the
choice of the meeting for superintendent.
The expression of the meeting yesterday
was i'm favor Of reducing the ground rent
to 81 a month, in order TO make up for the
taxes that have to be paid. 1T was declared
to be necessary to awaken renewed inter-
est in the association, or the camp ground
would soon go to the wall. 1t was reported
that no rebate could be expected on the
taxes, and that each tent owner must pay
his own taxes on his cottage.
The presiding elder detailed some of the
preliminarieS of the camp meeting pro-
gramme. He said Miss Taylor. of Moodys
school in Chicago. would be present to lead
the Bible reading. DIR. Moore. of the West
ern Christian Advocate, and DIR. Ford have
been secured. 5. L.. Nicholson, of the late
session of the Legislature, will be present
on Temperance day.
