BACCHANTE BEHINDWATER
Objections to the Famous Statue
Cleverly Dodged in Boston.

Boston, Nov. 19-MacMonnies' famous
figure Of Bacchante was placed on pub
lie exhibition today in the large court of
the public library building.
The trustees Of the library succeeded
in inducing the art commission to re-
consider its final decision as to rejecting
the statue, and on Sunday the figure
was placed in position for it's mem bers
to look at. All this week the famous
work will be seen by those who care to
look, and soon after that the art com
mission viii finally decide on its ac-
ceptance.
The figure up to its waist is now hid
den behind a spray of water from the
fountain The water viii continue to
bathe Bacchante as long as she remains
on exhibition.

THE BOGUS MESSIAH.
Walking on the Water Was Hardly to
His Taste After All.


His Taste After All.
About half a century ago a queer reli-
gious imposter invaded the southeastern
part Of Ohio and for several months Great
ed a great deal of excitement throughout
that section Several well to do farmers
gave all their earthly possessions to the
new messiah, and he soon became the cen
ter Of quite large colony of deluded fol-
lowers.
Ono moonlight night in June the mes
siah was sitting in the veranda of his Ohio
heaven smoking pipe, for he considered
it not beneath his dignity to enjoy the
pleasures of this life as he went along
shrewd, hard headed old farmer who lived
q mile or two down the road came shufhing
up the walk, and. respectfully dofhng his
straw hat, said, g. Good evsnin, mister. .
Il salute you, brother, - responded the
messiah without rising from his seat or
eeasing to send the tobacco smoke upward.
"You'u excuse me, mister, - continued
the old man, 50 but my folks have taken
quite an interest in you, and my wife IS
dead set on standin right by you through
thick and thin
..Amenp' calculated the messiah.
"Now, see here, +" added the farmer.
I'm a good deal worried about this thing,
and want you to give it to me straight"
Yea, verify, brother, that viii I do, .
replied the smoker.
WELL now aDOuG al uu1B 4B
it true that you can perform miracles
turn water into wine, heal the sick, walk
on the water and do such things as thats''
Yea, verify
'sYou ain It jokins''
"Nay, brother"
"And you can really do it-no mistake
about it9''
May"
''Well," remarked the farmer, ''I'm
mighty glad of that You'll have the
greatest chance Of your lifetime to convert
a whole crowd of scoffers tonight. A lot
of the boys are gettin together now, and
they'll be up here in a few minutes. If
you're dead sure that you can walk on the
water, you can convert the whole gang,
for they're goin to take you down to Bas-
com s mill pond to see you do it. But, OF
course, if you have any doubts about it,
you know, they won't be here yet for about
a quarter Of an hour.
The caller bowed and went away. The
smoking suddenly ceased, and the messiah
disappeared about as suddenly his last
puff Two years later he was heard from
in Pennsylvania, but he never revisited
Ohio. The mystery of his sudden depar-
ture was unsOlved for many years, but one
old Buckeye farmer always ohuokled when
ever the subject was mentioned. Chicago

CITIZENS OF ARMENIAN BIRTH.
They Arc Protected as Much as Possible
In Turkey.


In Turkey.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-The Presi-
dent to-day sept to tho Senate reply
to the Sanare resolution relative to the
rights of United States cisizans Of
Armenian birth and whether they arc
allowed to visit Turkey and passports
are recognized. In o letter to the Pres
ident the Secretary OF State nays that
the papers Of recens years show that
the Turkish government claims the
rights so exclude from the Ottoman ter
risory such nsturalized citizens.
The right is claimed az o prerogative
OF sovereignty. Its enforcement has
not been opposed, nor has remonstrance
been made save in case Of arrest or
punitive proceedings on the ground Of
their having become citizsns of the
United States without imperial permits
sion. Passports OF such people are re-.
cognized, but the recognition does not
prevent the exercise OF the right of ex-
clusion or expulsion,
Tue Secretary says that although no
treaty of naturalization exists between
the United States and Turkey -egulat-
ing this point, no instance has yet been
pressed by the Turkish government In
assertion OF right to treat the indi-
vidual as Turkish subject or to punish
him for the alleged offense of becoming
a citizen OF foreign state without per-
mission.
The second branch OF tho Senate in
quiry asked whether families of natur-
allied citizena are permitted to leave
Turkey and como to the United States,
and upon this point the Secretary says
that the naturalization laws cannot
operate by indirection cor by executive
Interpretation to make citizen OF q
person who has never been wishin tho
jurisdiction of the United States.
The Turkish governn, ent las on Gov
oral occaeione permitted the emigration
of such families but it has also asserted
that discretionary power In the premises
of and refused4such emigration. The
good Offices OF the United States minis
ter have been uniformly cxerted On all
occasions to assist tho emigration of
such persons.
Tho resolution further inquiries
whether naturalized citizens Of the
United States, OF American birth, have
tho same rights and protect in that
country az have nnturalized citizens Of
Great Britain, France, Germany Or
Russia. As to this the privilege clsimed
by the Government OF tho United States
for such citizens by naturalization, in
the country of origin. is greater than
that claimed by any one of the four
governments named.
The United States minister at Con.
stantinople has heretofore reported that
naturalizsd Armenians or other Turkish
subjects Of Great Britain, France, Gar
many or Russia, returning to the empire
OF Turkey, are not claimed by their
adopted governments IS citizens, nor
protected as such. except upon proof
that their change Of allegiance has been
permitted or is recognized by the gov
eminent of Turkey.
