this tribe. If so, he will never regret

strangeness belongs to another planet.
They will entertain him, place all the
goods of their humble shelters Mt his

OIL him with disfavor.
But 1t Is not the real Kurd, the Kurd
IN the home Of his ancestors, who has
been guilty of countless atrocities
against Christians. 1t is the Kurd who
has degenerated into Turkish soldier.
The type has altered and instead of the
singing and gaudily dressed mountain
Kurd, he is shallow type of fanatic,
whose face denotes that the owner pos
sesses the vices and cruelties of his
rulers. He Is the specimen of the old
time Kurd who may be found In the
vanguard of Turkish soldiery butcher
ing his fellow men. The Sultan of Tur-
key could not have found better class
OF people to carry on the slaughter of
Christians than these Kurds, who have
degenerated from the ways and homes
OF their ancestors.
The whole sum of their character
may be summed up as religious fan
atics and human brutes.

found his entire legacy to be only
about $4,000, and took the money. He
went to Belfast, bought the goods his
friend advised and brought them home
with him. This was A. L. Stewards
first business transaction.
In little wooden tenement at 2S3
Broadway, Chambers and Stewart
founded their great house. The tiny
store was stocked with the purchases
made in Belfast. The dimensions Of
the room were 20x22 feet. The pur-
chases so wisely made were sold at a
tremendous profit, and when young
Stewart saw his money increase so
easily and so rapidly the desire for
more profit, made in the same way, en-
tered his mind and became a part Of
him. The small shop soon blossomed
out into rich colors. The business grew
and a removal was necessary. And af
ter this 1t grew still faster and there
were more removals and many extern
sions, until in time Stewart & Co.
built a great store at the corner of
Broadway and Chambers street, upon
which they expended quarter of
million. Still the business grew and
this store was given up to the firms
wholesale trade after they had built
another great store at Broadway and
Tenth.
Disastrous as it was to many other
concerns, the civil war was of great
benefit to Stewart & Co. Stewart, with
his characteristic foresight, had bought
and bought, and when the Government
found that 1t must buy blankets and
clothing and canvas and other things
of that description, Stewards house
was the only one which could furnish
them. With fine chance to bleed the
country in its time of need. A. Il. Stew
art contented himself with only fair
profit. Before the war he had grown
to be many times a millionaire; after 1t
he was worth $4O,O0O0O0. He made
friends among the high and mighty
men of the nation, and Gen. Grant
upon becoming President wanted him
in his Cabinet as Secretary of the
Treasury. There was law on the
books, however, that no importer could
hold that position, and so Stewart was
ruled out. At the close Of the war he
was the richest man In America, and
wits the head of the most extensive
business establishment in all the world.
He founded homes for workingmea.
and evidently desired to scatter as
much Of his accumulated wealth as he
could in every direction. When he died,
In 1876, he left real estate that was to
be valued away up In the millions.

Pantalets are again to be at the
height Of fashion. Pantalets of pre-

wear rainbow-hued silk petticoats and
thought that an occasional glimpse. ju-

are now being made up as fast as busy
hands can cut, sew and wondrously
bedeck them. In vain they have been
protested against as an incongruity.
To no purpose has 1t been urged that
the revival OF the pantalet means the
renaissance Of the hoopskirt with all
its untold wealth Of circumference, In
deed, almost the entire rehabilitation
OF the feminine form. Nevertheless,
the unwelcome garments are thrusting
themselves into vogue, and the only
reply to objections Is that II the pres
ent styles In underwear do not conform
to the pantalet, new styles must be
adopted, and that speedily. In short,
the pantalet has come to stay, II only
for season.
Observing persons will note that the
bloomer has paved the way. II the
bloomer sensation had not been SO loud
and so enduring the pantalet might
never have been heard from again.

Kur1s) would be swept on the earth by
the Armenians. Like the spreading Of
a prairie fre the inhuman butchery
spread from one end Of the Turkish en-
pIre to the other.
1t will never be known how many
Armenians have been killed since the
general massacres began, but the num-
Der has been estimated conseryatively
al over a quarter of a million.
1t will be interesting at this time,
now that the eyes Of the civilized world
are upon Turkey, to know something
of the Kurdish tribe. This race of peo-
pie inhabit that section Of Turkey near
the Persian frontier, though they are
now to be found in all parts Of the en-
pire. The Persians claim the right to
govern a part of Kurdistan, while the
greater part is supposed to be under the
rule of the Sultan. While these two
powers say they rule them, the Kurds
look with scorn upon any effort of gov
eminent. No one ever saw a Kurd In
his own territory that would acknowl-
edge the sovereignty Of any power be-
sides their own chiefs, whom they
adore.
To see the Kurd In anything which
resembles his original character, the
traveller, II he desires to risk his life,
must seek those ranges which form a
notural barrier between Persia and
Turkey In Asia, extending from Mt.
Ararat to the region of Bagdad. There
the Kurds enjoy the wild freedom
which has been real part Of their ex-
istence from the earliest period Of the
race. 1t may be the good fortune Of

A Com pany of Drunken kurds Stirred
UP the Trouble.
The massacre of Armenians, which
has been carried on In Turkey for over
a year with atrocious brutality, was
begun by the Kurds. 1t has been
stated upon authority that two Kurds,
who had engaged in drunken quarrel
with their companions, were killed in
n small interior town. The comrades,
10 shift the offense from their shout
ders, carried the bodies to an Armen-
ian church. Early the following day
the two dead Kurds were found on the
doorstep of the Christian Church. An
alarm was at once given. The cry
went forth:
1.-The Armenian dogs have killed our
brethren! Let us rise against them"
How well they did the rising the civil
lied world already knows. The pages
Of history have no blacker spots, IL as
black, as the ones that have recorded
the inhuman and brutal murder Of de-
fenseless men, women, and children.
The Kurds have always hated the
Christians. From time immemorial
they have ravaged and murdered the
Armenians, and In nearly every in

large. Now, it is safe to say that the
bloomer will not be heard from for
some time. Women who make point
Of keeping abreast Of the fashions are
already wearing pantalets. In month
they will have become established as
fad. In length the pantalet extends
to the boot top. Its fullness is con-
siderably less than that Of the bloom
er. Thus 1t will be only with very
short gowns, chiefly worn by young
girls and children, that these novel
garments Will be noticeable. The first
young misses to appear with gayly
trimmed pantalet flounces will doubt
less attract some attention, but they
are leading the fashions.

ed. Stewart left none. He was COM
PEELED to leave his business In the
hands of an outsider, who In turn en-
trusted It to his sons. Alexander 7.
Stewart was the greatest man of pure
commerce known to modern history.
His genius for trade and thrift was abb
solute. His passion for It was never
equaled by any trait Of his character
except the passion that had for Its aim
the enlargement Of his trade. He was a
Scotch Irishman, born In Ireland.
Splendidly educated In Trinity College,
Dublin, he came to America with moth
Ing but a great mind and character
Of great strength and infiexibility. At
first he taught little children, and then
he became tutor Of Latin and Greek.
He had met man named Chambers
who knew something about the dry
goods line. They became friends. One
day young Stewart told his friend that
he had fallen into little property and
was about to go home to get 1t. Cham
bers asked him the amount. Stewart
replied that It was $4,000. What would
he do with the money? the friend que
ried. Return to the United States, said
Stewart, invest 1t and live on the In
come. Chambers told him to do no such
thing. "If you go to Belfast" the young
man advised, land invest your money
In insertions and scallop trimmings and
return here you can sell your purchases
for twice the amount" Stewart laugh
