Panic Among Tradesmen.

LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Times from Constantinople an
nounces the commencement of a panic
among the Armenian tradesmen of
Constantinople. These Armenians have
declared their intention of closing their
shops. They assert that Constantinople
is now unsafe for them. Another dis
patch announces the arrival at
Smyrna of the French squadron.
a Standard dispatch from Constan-
tinople says the losses to the Armen-
ian missions at Kharput will reach
f10,000. The Persian KuTds, according
to another dispatch to the Standard,
are in open revolt against the NUM-
cipal government of the town of Aim
tob in Asiatic Turkey. Similar news
has been received from the tribes east
of Damascus. 1t is evident that the
excited KurdS and entire lower classes
of the Moslems in the peninsula of
Anatolia are quite beyond the control
Of the central authorities. The most
stringent orders have been issued to
the different wallis, coupled with ap-
peals asking them to save the honor
of the sultan and preserve the Islamic
faith by an obedience to the instruc-
lions, but all of these efforts have
proved futile. The Constantinople cor
respondent Of the Standard announces
the Austrian colony there has organ
lied a, system of defense.

BOSTON, Nov. 1s-The following
letter has been received in this city
from a reliable correspondent in Con-
stantinople:
There has been a serious interrupt

or demonstration in this city As to
the personal safety of the Americans,
l think we all feel that there is no
immediate danger. There is q. feeling
quite general in the different embas-
sizes that through some rising on the
part of what us called the liberal ele-
ment among Turks, the sultan may be
dethroned. Several attempts in this
direction have already been made, but
without success. In such an event it
rs undecided what position the army
would take, and it is possible that
such a rising might be followed by an
attempt to massacre Christians and
foreigners, but it hardly seems prob
able, in city where the foreign popu-

PURE PATRIOTISM.
French Soldier Who Was Always
Ready to Do His Duty.

A French Soldier Who Was Always
Ready to Do His Duty.
Few men, not endowed with brilliant
ability, have left behind them a more
honorable or distinguished record than
NJ. Victor Duruy. a French statesman
and scholar, who died recently at the
age of 81. His life was an exemplifi-
cation of the rewards which may wait
on the faithful obedience of the Scrip
| tural maxim: Whatsoever thy hand
! findeth to do, do it with thy might
He began, as many another young
scholar has begun, as a teacher. Here,
in the performance of his duty, he
once had occasion to turn out of his
class Victorieu Sardou, who afterward
became famous writer. Young Sar-
dou had failed to get some part of a
lesson in Egyptian history. and had
said to NJ. Duruy that he thought he
might profitably omit it,"
But t. said Ouruy, "as your tea "a
er. am the sole judge as to that"
And I, since it is 1 who have to
learn. ought to have some choice in
the matter" Sardou answered.
This impairment remark earned for
Sardou the suspension which he re-
ceived. Sardou, as man and genius,
obtained early the literary distinction
which caused him to be chosen a men,
Der of the French academy-the forty
immortals," and when Duruy, in his old
age. as the crown of a laborious life,
| was proposed as member of the same
body. Sardou supported him cordially
and he was elected. -
Duruy, as an eminent and cract al
educator, was wanted by the emperor.
Napoleon III. as minister of public in
struction. The emperor sent for him
and proposed to him to enter the min
istry

peror.

public instruction
Duruy took the place and worked
hard in it, still doing with all his might
the work that came to his hand. In
the war with the Germans in 1870 there
was no political work for him to do.
For a time after the surrender Of Ma
poIeon all who had been in the gov
eminent were discredited. So, at the
age of 60, Duruy enlisted in the pa
tional guard as a private soldier. II
One evening in September, 1870.
Jules Simon. then minister of public
Instruction was entering the ministry
when he thought he noticed that the
soldier on guard at the door, who pre-
sented arms to him, had a familiar

at him.

''But see that one can always serve

Duruy smiled, and stood at salute

after that he was elected a member Of
the academy-the highest honor. in
literature or learning, that a French
man can hope to attain. 1t is possible
that the fact that Duruy had always

in what direction it lay. had much to
do with his elevation to this honor

ME- PIERCE LANDS.
SOME LIVELY TIMES OVER THE

LEWISTON. Idaho, Nov. 1.-THE first
man to make a legal filing on the Nez
Perce reservation lands, which were
opened to settlement yesterday was Ste
phen Hassar. He presented powers of at
torney from three old soldiers, Captain
Tamblin. Colonel Hammell and w. F..

townsite of Nez Perez.
Jacob Pippinger of Leland. was the
winner in an exciting race with val

the land one minute after II o'clock. He
had relays of saddle horses and rode
more than forty miles over a rugged
trail in hours and 20 minuts. He passed
envlouS neighbors and excited strangers
In his mad ride and filed without a

A party from this city with Editor AL

that some twenty Indian allotmentS had
been cancelled near Sweetwater. This
company repaired to the scene in body

completed, horseman appeared from
behind the knoll with a rife and re-
an ideal desperate, and when he came
he waved his hand and said:
This land is 'claimed. If one of you
- set foot upon it 1 will pump you
full of holes.''
Word comes from Cottonwood of a
demonstration by an organized company
that drove a weaker party from land
that was claimed by both parties. The
stronger party threatened to hang man
whom they called claim jumper.
The Indians do not take kindly to the
idea of being outnumbered by the whites
upon the domain they have owned so
long. Many of them are following the
whites around and the presence of the
natives has oceasioned uneasines on the
part of strangers. There is no reason,
however, for distrusting the Nez Perces.

MEN MUST WORK.
AND
WOMEN MUST WEEP"

1t was great poet who penned the
above lines. but he was very much
mistaken. He was wrong in saying
that women must weep. Women were
never intended to pass their lives in
misery. Why should they weep?
Women's Weaknesses are the curse
of womanhood. They have wiring
tears from many a wife and mother.
What pathetic story could be told of
the suffering caused by sick headaches.
backaches, miserable tired feelings and
the thousand and one painful symp-
toms which so many women endure.
But it is all unnecessary.
They Cnn Be Cured. Thousands of
happy women testify to this fact. Ask
them and they will tell you how much
they owe to the benefit received from
taking Warmers Safe Cure. the best
and most reliable remedy for all all
ments of womankind. As a means of
relieving and curing kidney, bladder
and female troubles and even xhe
dread Bright's disease itself, this at
Safe Cure has never been equalled. A
short trial will speedily prove what it
can do for weak. weary women who
need help.

LONDON, Nov, 19.-The Chronicle
prints a, dispatch from Vienna which
asserts that the news that Russia has
backed out of European concerted ar
engagements for the settlement OF. the
Turkish question produced a heavy fall
on the bourse there. The correspond
ent explains that Russia has agreed
to the assembling of the fleets in the
Levant and that the car is willing to
negotiate measures in the future.
The Telegraph publishes a. dispatch
from Constantinople which asserts that
no news of fresh disturbances has been
received and that confidence is being
restored. At Aleppo it is hoped that
the worst is over, and it is believed
quiet has been re-esta'blished in Euro
pean Turkey.
The correspondent also announces
that the Armenian women of Constan-
tinople have addressed a memorial and
appeal to Lady Henry Somerset, well
known for her work in the w. c. T. u,
in particular, and for her efforts as a
humanitarian in general.

This indicates that the sultan is fully
determined to take the reins of the gov
eminent in his own hands.
Lack of sufficient funds to equip the
reserves called out and the scarcity of

Coroner's Jury Seeking to Place the
Blame For the Viaduct Disaster.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 19.-The coron-
ers inquest in connection with the ter
rlble street car accident at the Central
viaduct was commenced today. Nearly
the entire morning was devoted to the
examination of Captain Charles Bren-
ner. who was in charge of the draw
fridge on the night of the accident.
His testimony was to the effect that
the bridge gates were closed and a
red light displayed over them when
the car came up. He stated that the
electric cut off which is supposed to
shut off the current on the trolley
wires 500 feet from the draw bridge
when the latter is open, had been out
of order for at least ten days Bren-
ner testified that it was a dark rainy
night; that he first noticed the car
when it was about forty feet from the
gates He yelled at the motorman who
jumped to the bridge just in time to
save himself from going over with the
car
Phillip Beck, who was with Captain
Brenner on the bridge at the time of
the accident, corroborated the latter S
testimony Beck said both he and
Bremen called Loudly TO the moU0rman
to stop and he was certain they could
have been heard across the river
Late in the afternoon the coroner
called Motorman Rogers to the stand
Rogers refused to testify in the alb
sence of his attorney, and when the
latter arrived he declared it would be
unjust to his client, who had been
charged with manslaughter to ask
him to testify. After a conference it
was decided to adjourn the inquest I'M
til tomorrow morning.
Late this afternoon Myron T. Her.
rick and S. S. Warmer signed a $4,000
bail bond and Rogers was given his
liberty.
