Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1896-01-17

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.--The Press this
morning prints a letter from Clara Barton
on the Armenia question. She states
that the first appeal for the Red Cross 50
ciety to act came from the missionary
besrds Of Connstantinople. To this con-
ditions were made that the request come
from the people Of the entire country and
that sufficient money should be realized.
The first was complied with and the ma
ational committee guaranteed sufficient
sfunds. The internafionar committee Of
Geneva official heads OF all the Red Cross
treaty nations having no objection, prepar-
ations for sailing were made. The Amer
lean Red Cross society had no part in rails
ing the money, it's only mission being to
Distribute. Then came the objection from
the Turkish government. Miss Barton de-
clares that that government is not antag-
onistie to the Red Gross as such; but OBJ
iects to the distribution Of foreign relief
on entirely different grounds, neither in
Its power nor that Of the society to control.
She adds that any statement that the Red
Cross Is aggressive and intends to act in
spite 1.-the prohibition is entirely incor-
rect and unfounded

Cullom on Armenia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--Senator Cullom,
who is a member Of the senate committee
on foreign relations and chairman Of the
uubcommittee on Armenian affairs, says
that he did not see what action the
United States could take In the matter Of
the exclusion of the Red Cross from Tur-
key. Any government, he says, has the
right to exclude any or all persons from Its
territory. 1t is a right which all nations
reserve the United States as well az 9TH
ers. Neither by legislation nor executive
order could the United States compel Tur-
key 10 admit the Red Cross society.
Senator Cullom says that there is little
that congress can do in the matter Of Ar
menian outrages except to express in EN-
phatic terms its horror of the outrages per-
petrated and direct the secretary Of state TO
communicate the action to the Turkish
government. Senator Cullom has had no
conference with Secretary Olney on this
subject.
Miss Rebecca Krakorian, Rn"Armenian,
called on Senator Culiom and made a
statement Of the conditions existing there.
She claimed that this government should
stop the slaughter Of Armenians The
missionaries who have been sent to Ar
menia, she argued, have taught the people
ChfiBtianity and thereby made their pupils
the subjects Of Turkish hatred.

weekly, for which large sum of money
has already been subscribed by wealthy
advocates of Populistic doctrines.
While strongly championing the elec-
tor of Bryan the paper will vigorously
OBJECT to Watson's being relegated to the
position of tail to the Democratic kite.
That is, some of those interested in the
venture so assert, while others are
slightly dubious, and do not know
whether they are willing to throw a
bonn bsh hell upon the chance of fusion or
not.
The idea of such an organ was evolved
about three weeks ago, when California
journalist, well known also in the legal
profession, approached certain mem bers
of the Populist State Executive Com nit
tee and proposed the plan to them. If it
met with favor in their eyes, he stated, he
would be perfectly willing to undertake
the management of the paper.
After good deal of powwowing in the
Peoples party wigwam the idea was
finally declared to be feasible.
The paper will be published under the
management of the State Executive Com
mittee.
The field has already been canyassed,
and as a purely business venture it is
deemed success. Every Populist will be
asked to use his best efforts TO forward
the interests of the paper.
The first issue will come from the press
September II. At least, the paper will be
issued on that date if nothing unIoward
occurs to mar the harmonious action of
the gray bearded chiefs of the wigwam
Populus.
Hon. ]. TAYLOR Rogers yesterday admit
ted that such q weekly is to be issued He
said it is not to be considered as a news
paper, but simply as political weekly,
devoted to the interests of the People s
party in this State.
ut will be a bright, breezy paper of
about the size of the Argonant," be added,
''and will probably be edited by Populists
OF high standing in the community. The
m management will be under a California
Journalist, who has also a copious knowl-
edge of the law.
THE first issue will be on September II.
When mention this date it must be un.
derstood that the statement is not IRON
clad. Something may occur in the
interim to warrant a change
DIR. George w. Daywalt also admitted
the important facts of the case.
i'We have long felt the need" he said,
.'of paper that will speak forth the true
Democracy of Jefferson, the exalted Re-
publicanism OF Lincoln, and will appeal to
The patriotism of all parties to get the
administration of government back 10 the
fundamental truths OF political economy"
But there is bare poss. bility that the
weekly may yet fail to cast its sparkling
rays o'er the multitude and set up a
rivalry to the shining orb of day. E. 8.

A FORTUNE FOR A FEE
Attorney w. q. q. Hart Re.
ceiyes $4oo, 1000 From the
Blythe Estate
Sued for Money Advanced by w. F.
Goad When the Litig alton Was
in Progress

W. II. II. Hart has received fee of
100000 from Florence Blythe-H Hinckley
for his services in her behalf in the litiga-
tion over the estate of Thomas Blythe At
least that is what w. f. Goad claims in a
complaint filed in the County Clerks of
fee yesterday. 1t seems that Hart bor-
rowed 10000 from Goad some time ago,
giving as security for the money an agre e.
ment to pay Goad the $4,000 and interest
out of the first money he received for SER
vices as attorney in the Blythe litigation
then pending.
Hart had an agreement with James G..
Perry, guardian of Florence Blythe, by
the terms of which Hart was to receive
1219 per cent of the estate in case his client
won. Subsequently another agreement
under date of February 90 1896, was made
by the terms OF which Hart's 1216 per cent
of the estate was to be allowed to remain
with the major part, and he was to receive
one eighth of the income from month to
month.
The value of a one-eighth interest in the
estate is S400, 900 and Goad claims that by
reason of the agreement Hart has received
compensation for his services and, there
fore, sues for the $40 900 due. An order
for sale OF the property is asked and such
other relief as the court may deem equit-
able.
At the same time that the complaint
was filed in the County Clerks office, At
torney Goad had writ OF lis pendeus
recorded covering Attorney Hart's interest
in the Blythe estate. The writ enumerat
all of the Blythe properties in this CITY
and the country real estate as well. This
will have the effect of preventing a settle.
ment of the estate until the litigation is
settled or bond sufficient to cover the
amount in dispute is forthcoming.

Happy the woman suffragist who can
get holiday"
The faces at the rooms of the Suffrage
leaders in the Parrott building are tired
but happy. Miss Hav says there are so
many things happening to encourage
them that they haven't had the blues for
a week.
They are to have one of the prettiest
booths in the Mechanics Pavilion. The
exhibit will be one of decorated china, the
work done by members of the different
clubs convincing proof that the ladies
can do something besides wanting to vote.
The famous lemonade set, which gives a
rather dissipated look to the cozy office,
will of course be there in all its glory.
Miss Anthony, who can bake the best
bread in Rochester, will put some biscuit
in as her exhibit if she can find time. The
leaders will take turns in presiding over
the booth and entertaining visitors. The
booth will be prettiy decorated and the
ladies hope to win the prize tor decorated
china.
At the State Fair in Sacramento the
suffragists have room. They applied
toe late to be given a booth, but the room
will probably do even better, as it can De
utilized when receptions are held.

the meet is not definitely settled but an
endeavor will be made not to have it con-
flict with the regular fall tourna ment.
This meeting will proba bly, give one of the
Hardy brothers an opportunity to meet
Neel. who was a fellow clubman of the
Hardys when they were all developing in
to skiIlfuI players several years ago in

WASHINGToN'S ADIEU.
Its Centennial Will Be Celebrated by
the Sons of the American
Revolution.

Next Thursday will be the one hundred
of Paris, whereby the United Colonies
were acknowledged to be sovereign and in
dependent States 1t is an occasion which is
each year appropriately honored by the So
ciety of Sons of the American Revolution
throughout the entire Union, and while
the coming anniversary will not be so ex-
tensively observed by the California soci-
ETY. as usual, there will be an important
stated meeting held in the rooms of the
society in Pioneer Hall that evening.
On this occasion, in addition to the
proper observance of historical matters,
there will be voted for admission to men,
bership a large number of applicants,
among whom are Thomas Allen Perkins,
Eugene de Kav Townsend, Edward Olney,
Hart Hyatt North, Charles A. Sumner,
George Whitney Reed, William Heneage
Finch, George R. Presson, Leonard Stock
well Clark, Bethnel M. Newcomb, William
Gilman Badger and Captain James Will
liams.
One reason why the coming anniversary
of the treaty of peace will receive less than
usual attention, is owing to the fact that
the California society is making extensive
preparations for observing the one hun
dredth anniversary of Washington's fare
well address TO the people, which will
take place Saturday evening, September
10. The occasion will be made brilliant
by addresses delivered by Hon. Horace
Davis. E. P. Cole, Colonel John s. Mosby
and other eloquent speakers. Judge E. w.
McKinstry, president of the society, will
be chairman, and at the banquet, which
will be at the California Hotel, there will
be assembled several hundred of the
brightest talent in San Francisco, embrac-
ing medicine, the clergy. the law, journal
ism and every other profession.

"Thus far" exclaimed Miss Mary Hay,
chairman of the State Central Committee,
''our work has been of a preparatory
nature. To be sure there have been talks
and skirmishes, but we were only testing
our weapons, so to speak. The fight will
commence on the 10 h of September, and
can assure you that it will be kept up
until the very day of the election. Then
we will be able to rest on our laurels.
"We are taking measures to render our
coming rally a great event in the political
history of this State. Californians seem
to love music, so we shall have little of
San Francisco's best, which | know is far
ahead of that heard in many larger cities.
As for speakers each political party will
contribute it's best orator for the occasion.
while we women will do what we can.
Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw are well
known for their eloquence by this time, so
we will have q new attraction in Mrs.
Carrie Chapman-Catt, whose oratorlcal
powers have called forth innumerable
plaud1tS from Eastern audiences
Mrs. Gait can almost be called Cali
fornian, as she mas passed many years of
her life in this State. She is one of the
most charming women ever met and has
a way of gaining the sympathies of her
hearers which is truly magnetic. Her
debut before San Francisco audience is
sure TO be brilliantly successful one, and
we count on her as one of the big guns of
the campaign.

any one who is used to dealing with this
class of Chinese knows that the children
would instantly be spirited away if legal
steps were taken.
Judge Coffey may give us letters OF
guardianship for the two little children
found at 231z Ross alley, but have very
little hope that they will ever be produced
in court
Mrs. Hull believes that there will be no
difficulty in proving that the alleged
mother OF the children is not the mother
at all. "She is a woman who has been IN
the habit of buying and selling little slave
girls for the last fifteen years. We have
two girls in the home now whom she i'm
ported from China and who escaped from

ANOTHER STORE ADDED
Joe Poheim, the Wel1-Known Tailor,
Opens Another Hands ONE Place
on Market Street

on Market Street
There is not better known merchant
tailor on the coast than joe Poheim. For
many years past he has been supplying
his legions of customers stylish, perfect
fitting clothing made 10 order at low,
and in many cases, lower prices than
clothing of equal grade can be had for
ready made. During these years he has
built ups splendid reputation and con-
stantly increasing business and in order
to accommodate his rapidly growing trade
Mr.. Poheim has found it necessary to open
another store at 846 Market street, Just
opposite Fourth.
This makes four stores that he has in
operation in this City--one at the corner
of Montgomery and Bush stree is, another
at 724 Market street and a third at lilo
and 1112 Market st rect
Mr.. Poheim attributes his success TO the
fact that he Always deals squarely with
all his customers. His stock is an immense
one, of varied grades and patterns, and in
cludes every fabric used IN the manufac-
ture of mems clothing. In fit he is with
out superior, as he employs none but
high-class cutters.
The best OF workmen are employed and
every garment is most carefully finished.
The best of trimmings and Innings are
used and the finished garments equal in
every respect those turned out by the
swellest tailors in the lana.
There is only one difference. 1t Is the
price. Poheim's clothing, while equal to
the best costs only about one-half what
others charge. For instance, $40 will buy
good suit, SIS an excellent one, $40 one
that is thoroughbred, while S25 will buy
suit that most other places ask $40 or $50
for. Mr.. Poheim challenges com parison
with any other tailors in the land and
says that in the all-important essentials of
fabrics, fit, finish and trimmings he is far
and away in the lead of all competitors
On this question he is willing that any OF
his longtime customers shall be the
iudge-contident that they will uphold all
his claims of superiority for his made-to-
order clothing.
