HyneniaI.

A pleasant wedding was celebrated
last night; July %, 1896, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. John Roberts, of
DeLamar, Idaho, the contracting par
ties being Miss Nora Roberts and Mr..
Ed Drew, both residents of DeLamar.
Mr.. Drew is a popular employee of the
DeLamar company and has been res
ident here for the past five years, and
the bride, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Roberts, the former also a miner
here.
Rev. H. L. Fitch was the officiating
clergyman. A large number of invited
guests were preeent.
An elegant luncheon and refresh
ments were provided and the party was
made merry one, finally, for more
room, repairing to the school house
and spending some hours dancing.
The list of presents received by the
bride was such a long one that we have
been compelled to defer its publication
until next week.
The young and happy couple have
the best wishes of a host of friends.
The groom recently purchased the res
idence of Mr.. M. Downs and the pair
will at once begin housekeeping.

Mr.. W. w Fisk, a gentleman who
comes here with the reputation of an
experienced miner, arrived here last
week, to take charge of the Henrietta
property and he proposes to take the
water out of the shaft and at once pro-
coed to make further developments
upon the mine. This property has now
lain idle for eight years, work having
been stopped on it in the spring of 1888,
when they were putting hundred dollar
ore on the dump. The Henrietta mine
and mill belong to the Proustite Com
pany of Boston. The record Of its
management has by no means been
creditable one. People here who know
the property have faith that with proper
management it would prove immensely
valuable We hope ithas at last fallen
into competent hands.

A load of eight of just the jolliest
ladies of Silver City, Wednesday even
ing, attempted to surprise the Della
mar Daughters of Rebekah, by swoop-
ing down upon them unawares, but
some one called the alarm on them and
when they arrived the DeLamar ladies
were prepared to receive them. From
all reports the meeting Of the Lodge
that evening was most pleasant one
and wound up with grand midnight
luncheon. The visitors were Mesdames
John and Fred Brunzell, Fred Crete,
Moe, Greenig, Townsend and Heidel-
berger and Miss Julia Allen.

INSPIRED BY TURKS.

CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. 81
There is no longer any doubt that the
massacres were organized by the Turk
ish authorities and it has been as
certained that orders were only given
to the Bashi- BaZoukS to cease killing
the Armenians after the bloody work
had been going on for thirty hours
1t is also a fact that hundreds of
Turks were brought over from the
Asiatic side of the Bosphorus in order
to take part in the massacres and
many Armenians were put in boats
which were then run out to sea. Their
fate is unknown, but there is not the
slightest doubt but that they have been
drowned.
Although it may be true that the at.
tack on the Ottoman bank originated
with the Armenian revolutionary COM
mittee, it is admitted on all sides that
the nassacres which followed were
not justified and that from 5000 to
1000 people lost their lives in the
streets of this city or in those of the
suburbs during the past week. The
Armenians also intended attacking the
palace. the branch office of the Credit
Lyonnaise and other places, their
avowed object being to force the
powers to intervene in the Armenian
question.
dispatch received from Philip
popolis says that aserious conf1ist oc-
Cured last week on the Turkish and
Bulgarian frontier. 1t seems to have
been an outpost affair. Twelve Turks
were killed or wounded and five Bull
garianS were wounded As a result
further and much more dangerous
complications are anticipated. People
in position to judge the situation ac-
curately believe that the sultan has
once more approached dangerously
near to the point of forcing upon the
powers the necessity of Remembering
the Turkish empire. The joint note
of the ambassadors of the powers ask
ing the Turkish government to sup
press the disorders in this vicinity was
received like the similar notes of the
powers regarding the massacres in
Armenia. Even the hint that the sui
tan is endangering the Turkish empire
by permitting continuance of the
state of anarchy which has prevailed
is not looked upon as likely to have
more thar passing effect upon the
sultan.

A UNIoUE ORGANIZATION.

If the Anglo-Saxon has one trait
that is more forceful than another, one
that distinguishes him from men Of all
other races. 1t is his impulse to orga-
nize 1t is an instinct with him. He
carries 1t with him wherever he
goes. Set half hundred of
him down on a desert island and
within twenty-four hours there would
be town organization formed Out
in the mining camps, beyond the juris-
diction of law. he forms his vigilance
committees and overawes violence. The
pioneers form a school district among
the earliest of their efforts If he goes
into business he is still an organizer,
and gathers about him fellows with
brains or capital or both Sometimes.
especially in business, he is the victim
of his creation, overorganizes and goes
to smash
SO, 1t was but natural that, when
peace broke the army up and scat
tered the boys over the country. thew
should Immediately begin to form
to maintain their distinctive charac-
ter as soldiers amid the fast-growing
crop of youngsters and the deluge of
immigration that was pouring in on us
from abroad. There was also a natural
motive to preserve the associations of
the camp and file, and with it the Iaud-
able one of being helpful to former
comrades with whom things were GO
ing wrong in the hustle and hustle of
HE In this the Grand Army had it's
origin, and in this it maintains it's ex-
istence
But among all the organizations of
men 1t is unique in many features. 1t
is clrcumscribed in it's membership and
growth. It cannot continue existence
by the infusion of fresh blood, and it's
end is within the compass of a decade
or two at the furthest It's ranks are
beginning to thin, and no recruiting Of
ficer can forward fresh recruits to fill
the vacancies. Each year a battalion
is mustered out and, as the years pass,
the muster-out will be regiments and
brigades. Admission to it cannot be
bought at any price, and still the
price of admission is one that few men
would care today to pay. The title to
membership was dearly bought, the
price paid for it at it's cheapest was a,
dear one. 1t was the gift of years of
service at the period of life when the
years are the most valuable 1t was
the endurance during that service of
fatigue, hardship and danger. 1t was
the constant exposure of health. limb
and life itself to loss. 1t meant hun
ger and thirst often, and poor fare al
ways. 1t meant constitutions under
mined, health impaired and life cur
tailed. This is the price these men
who are with US paid for the right to
wear the blue and don the badges and
buttons of their order, and this forms
their title to membership in the Grand
Army. It is the price of sacrifice that
patriots make for country.

Among the prominent G. A. R. members,
as we'll as statesmen of national reputation,

When asked regarding the political situa-
ton of his state. Gen. Alger said:
'Pingree will surely be elected governor.
There is not much in the story about his be-
ing a free silver man. He is Republican
in every sense of the word. The story went
out to the effect some time ago that he was
in favor of free silver. but there isn't any
thing in it. Regarding national politics, my
Judgment is that this silver craze is subsid-
ing. I don't like to call it craze: it is a
sort of epidemic. Upon mature elaboration
it will disappear. | do not believe the voters
