A few days apo the dclav of IN

A few days ago the delay Of the porte in
answering the powers proposals for re-
forms in Armenia was reported TO have
led 20 the resignation of the grand vizier.
Indeed, Turkey il soon likely to have its
hands full In answering European pro-
tests against outrages by her subjects in
various places.
Now there is the Jeddah complication
resulting from tile attack on the foreign
consuls by fanatic Bedouins, and Admiral
kirkland only the other day was COM
PEELED 10 give the Turkish pasha at Bey-
root bad scare. Further reports from
the districts of SidOn and Latakia, in
Syria, have recently shown these portions
of the sultans empire To be in a danger
ously disturbed state.
In one place the Metwals attacked the
houses of number of Christians with
stones, and attempted TO enter them,
finally compelling the Christians to seek
refuge in some Of the Christian villages Of
the district. The house of IA Greek Catholic
priest was, however, forcibly entered by
night. Subsequently, some 40 or 80 Met
wall youths proceeded TO the Christian
quarter Of the village, uttering threats that
they would do the same for them as was
done TO the Armenians.
At Sahium, in the district of Latakia,
the Christians complained of the manner
in which they were treated by the new
ciamakam (govcrnor) of Sahium, tho Off
GERS of the Redifs (rcserves), and by some
of the government employees, and declared
that they could not continue to live under
such conditions, surrounded as they were
by the Ansariyehs-supposed new con-
yerts TO Islamism
They mentioned tho case to one Of their
women, who was forced TO embrace
Islam, in consequence of which quarrel
took place between the Christians and
Mussulmans, and fears were entertained
of continuation Of the prosecutions
should the Mosloms persist in their present
attitude.
Another incident is reported from the
Metwali village of Kcfr-Zibnit, where four
Bcdouins appeared and exchanged shots
with the inhabitants, killing one and
wounding another. One Bedouin was
subsequently arrested, and guarantees
were demanded by the governor from the
Metwalis for good conduct In the future.

RAILROAD GATHERINGS,

AN express locomotive recently built
at the Rochester shops of the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburgh railroad, from
the designs of MIR. c. E. Turner, super
intendent of motive power, is fitted
with an electric headlight, current for
which is furnished by a small motor
at the back of the lantern.
THE great 25oo-horse power engine
by the E, P. Allis company, of Milwau-
kee, Wis, for the power plant In the
machinery building of the Columbian
exposition is now at work in the power
house Of the Kansas City Cable Rail
way company at Eighth street and
Woodland avenue, Kansas City, Mo.
THE shipments of standard steel rails
for 1894 are said by the Iron Age to
have amounted to 722, 900 tons, of which
&C, 900 tons we're the product of the Col
orado mill, which Is not in the combina-
ton of rail mills. This total does not
include light rails. street rails or girder
rails. and shipments of the latter were
relatively heavy.
: THE Atchison bridge over the Mis-
souri, river at the town of that name is
being greatly endangered by the en-
c~roachment Of the river. A canal is
now being dug to divert the stream
through the island above the town.
This canal will be over one mile long
and seventy feet wide. Its eonstruc-
ton involves the removal Of 167, 900 GU
bic yards of material.
THE Trans-Siberian railway, as an
nounced by the Russian government,
will be opened in 1901. instead of 1904,
rs indicated by Gen. Annenkoff in his
report. The government expects to
join the Russian railway system with
lrkoutsk In 1898, and in the same year
to complete the Lake Baikal section.
The line along the Amour will also be
finished sooner than expected, as the
work is advancing rapidly.

A WOMAN'S NERVES.
The Story Of a Woman to Whom
Noise Was Torture.
Frustrated by tho Least Excitement-Fhy-
Bicians Blfaed by Her Case.
(From the Gale City, Keokuk, Ioua.)

(From the Gate City, Keokuk, iowa)
Mrs. Helen Meyers, whose home is at 1913
Vernon Avenue, Chicago, and whose visit to
Keokuk, Ia, will long be remembered, was
at one tim afflicted with Il nervous malady
which at times drove her nearly to distrac-
ton. ''Those terrible headaches are a thing
of the past" she said the other day to a
Gate Cty representative, and there is quite
a story in connection with it, too"
Mynervous system sustained agreat shock
some fifteen years ago, brought on, | be-
lieve, through too much worrying over
family matters, and then allowing my love
for my books to get the better of my dis
cretion where my health was concerned.
Why, whenever my affairs at home did not
go along just as I expected, l would invari-
ably become prostratel from the excite
ment, and I would consider myself FORTH
nate indeed If the effects of the attack
would notremain for a week. l was obliged
to give up our pleasant home not far from
the Lake Shore drive, because [ could not
stand tho noise in that locality. 1could find
no place in the city which | deemed suitable
to one whose nervous system was always
on the point Of explosion. To add to my
misfortunes my complexion Underwent q
change, and looked so yellow and salloW
that 1 was ashamed to venture from the
house at all. -
MADAM" said my doctor to nce soon
after an unusually severe attack of tip NAL
ady, "unless you leave the city ancI seek
some place of quiet you will never rcdgver."
So I concluded / would visit my uncl who
lives in Dallas County, Iowa, and whose
farm would surely be a good place for. one
in my pitiable condition. l picked uAthe
Gate city one day and happened to come
across an interesting recital of the recovery
of some woman in New York State who was
afflicted as had been. This woman had
been cured By DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. l thought that if Pink Pills
cured that woman they might do the same
for me-. | began to take the pills accord
ing to directions, and l began to feel better
from the start. After l had taken several
boxes OF them was ready to go back to
Chicago. My nervousness was gone and
my complexion was as fresh as that of any
sixteen-year-old girl in Iowa, and Pink Pills
Is what put the color in my cheeks. No
wonder l am in such high spirits and feel
like a prize fighter. And no wonder I like
to come to keokuk, for if it had not been
