.ARMEN|A'S PLEA FOR AID,
The United States Evangelical
Alliance Recites the Woes
of the People.
Intervention Not Asked For, But the
Exercise of Moral Power by
the Nations.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 90. = The
Evangelical Alliance for the United States
has issued an appeal to the people of this
country in behalf of the sufferers by the
recent Turkish lnassacres in Armenia.
The document also contains an appeal
from the missionaries. 1t states:
'iAn appeal of the most solemn and
impressive character has just been re-
ceived, signed by the entire force of the
American missionaries at Harpoot, in the
Turkish empire. imploring sympathy and
moral influence in behalf of the prosecuted
Armenian Christians in that empire. The
Alliance would be untrue to its constitu-
ton and its history if it did not give earn
est heed to this memorial. 1t has taken
immediate measures to secure favorable
action from the Sultan of Turkey by the
Government of the United States and by
the various branches of the Alliance
throughout the world.
'In addition to these efforts, the Alliance
herewith spreads before the people of this
country the document received from the
Christian missionaries at Harpoot.
Does the Christian world know that
this has been and is clearly defined re-
ligious crusade? 1t is part of the Moslem
creed that men of all other creeds are in
ferior, and the Christian races in this
country have always been treated as such !;
and now that the Armenians have sought
for some equality of rights, for greater free
dom from oppression and injustice and for
the protection OF person and property, the
Turks have sought to crush them.
1--WE do not ask for intervention but for
the exercise of such moral power by the
nations as shall free the poor Christians
from this intolerable yoke. We are con-
fdent that if the representatives of the
Christian governments in Constantinople
were to unite against any further attempt
to renounce the faith which their fathers
have held in the midst of persecution and
oppression from the days of the apostles
to the present time with persistence al
most as marvellous as that of the Jews,
such protest would be effectual."

w Is there anything
more olesome,
more beautiful, more completely pleasing
than a won1anly woman? Such woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and

story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and aniability.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty Or amusement. Life is all one dead
monotonous gloom to her On her face
is written the story of weakness and pain.
The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths of woinanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting physician on
such matters. A natural feeling of mod
esty makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"1ocal applications on which most
doctors insist.
Much more often than not, this is un-
necessary. 1t should not be submitted
to except as last resort.

Four Women Numbered Among

Victims.
MuT1LAT1oN OF THE DEAF.
Their Faces Covered With Grass,
Which Is Then Ignited-Rifles
Sent to the Police.

CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, March o.
A late dispatch from Buluwayo, the prin-
cipal town of Matabeleand, said that it
was feared an attack would be made on
that place tonight by the native rebels. A
disp atch received to-day from Buluwayo,
said that thus far twenty whites have
been killed by the natives.
Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of
Cape Colony and High Commissioner in
South Africa, has cabled Colonial Secre-
tary Cham berlain in London that Captain
Nicholson telegraphs from Buluwayo that
he has $50 rifles and plenty of ammuni-
ton. Captain Nicholson believes that the
revolt will not spread.
The only detachments of the native
police who are known to have certainly
deserted are thirty, who shot Commits
sioner Bently. Another thirty were very
restless and were disarmed, after which
they deserted.
Several of the white settlers, who were
missing and who were supposed to have
been massacred by the natives, have ar
rived at Buluwayo.
Governor Robinson has furnished a
mounted escort to convey 500 rifles be-
longing to the British South African Com
pany from Mafeking, on the Transvaal
border, to Buluwayo.
Among the victims of the Matabeles was
family consisting of husband and wife,
three grown daughters and three sons.
Commissary Bently and other persons
massacred were horribly mutilated. After
death their faces were covered with dried
grass, which was then set on fire, render
ing the features OF the victims unrecog-
nizable.

about three miles from Camilla he saw
a goat standing on the track. The goat
saw the engine bearing down upon him,
but lowering his head and bracing him
self he def1antly refused to move. OF
course there was a collision between the
engine and the goat The goat landed on
top of the pilot without a scratch, and
from his perch calmly viewed the scenery
as the train sped along. When the engine
stopped at Camilla the goat jumped
down and ran off without showing the
slightest sign of injury as result of the
collision. We did not learn if the engine

AN AMERICAN SOCIAL BOYCOTT.
A Romance That Illustrates the Strange
Condition of Our society.

| Condition OF our society,"
1t is indeed very strange condition
| of American society which is illustrate d
| by the recent trouble of Second Lieuten-
ant Lang, Of the second artillery, the
result of which will probably be his re-
tirement from the United States army.
Lieutenant Lang was one of the
brightest men of his class at West
Point. During his college course he
met Miss Mamie Kinkle, who was the
daughter Of an enlisted man, and A very
bright and attractive woman. The two
young people met constantly at the
soldiers Sunday school, and found that
they had many tastes in common, and
just before the cadets graduation West
Point society was shocked by the rumor
that he was engaged to be married to
the daughter of Commissary Sergeant
Kinkle. To people outside of the ex-
elusive circle at W est Point this state
ment presents no appalling future for
the pair, but tie friends of Lang told
him that it meant the ruin of his career
as an officer and social ostracism. The
associates of the young lady also at
tempted to persuade her to change her
purposes, but all such influences failed.
They were married, and have been sub
jected to social boycott ever since that
has proved so trying that the lieutenant
has made repeated attempts to resign
his command and retire.
In June, 1894, he appeared before the
army retiring board and was ordered
back toeduty, as it considered him ply :
ically able to attend to his command,
Last fall he secured six months leave
of absence and with his wife and child
lived at Glenham, and on his return
has made second application for re-
tirement, as the position of the family
has been more disagreeable than before.
1t is said that it is anxiety to begin life
again in new sphere, where Mrs. Lang
will not be constantly reminded that
she is the daughter of private, that
has caused Lang to seek retirement.
Such a romance as this might form a
good ploL for an English novel, for such
nice distinctions of caste are natural to
that country. But in nation whose
great corner stone contains the state
ment that "All men are born free and
equal of which the highest admins
trative may be the son of washerwC-
man, it is a disgusting caricature of
foreign social structure. A community
in the United States discriminates
against an American woman in such a
way as has not been done abroad A
German noble who marries the daugh-
ter of a burgher loses position among
his people; he marries an American
woman, and tn ugh her father is west
ern porB packer, who began life as an
humble butcher, or cattle king who
used to be cowboy, she is accepted as
his equal in Germany. Yet the officers
from West Point. who have received a
free education, contributed oy the tax
from the common people of their coun-
try, must exercise greater discretion.

AN AUTOCRATIC JUDGE.
Claw West of the Pecos' in Texas. Judge
Bean and His Court.

"Talk about your supreme courts and
your autocratic Judges" said sporting
man who had just returned from the
scene OF the big fight, to reporter of
the Philadelphia Record, ''there's a
judge down at Langtry, Tex, where
'Lanky Bob licked Maher, who can
give any Judge in the country cards and
spades and beat him out at that. There
re only half dozen bouses in Langtry,
and one of them is Combination Beer
and Law Shop presided over by Judge
Roy Bean, who is the most autocratIc
and most original judge in all Texas.
AS the name of the town is Langtry. the
judge who reads his papers has quite
appropriately named his place the 'Jer-
sey Lily. His business ign bears this:
Ice Cold Beer & Law West of the Pc
Co.'S The Pecos river is the eastern
boundary of the judges circuit, which
embraces 500 miles of widest Texas.
He was made judge-probably self-ap-
pointed-when he was young man, and
he's 65 now. Nobody would dream of
holding an election to the position.
Judge Beams method of dispening law
is not the sort you read of in books.
Once when Texan pleaded guilty be-
fore him of killing a Chinaman, the
Judge said: There amt tany law in
Texas agin' KILN Chinaman. Prison

man was brought before him for stea'.
ing cow valued at about 81. 'Weu,'
said the judge, you'll pay $3.50 fine or

up! yelled the judge. Come up with
$3.50 or you shall hang The prisoner

New Jersey Skater Rescued by Female
Heroism and Originality.
John Mitchell, well known young
man, broke through the ice while skating
ON Speedwell lake near Morristown, n.
J. The water was deep and cold, and
Mitchell screamed for help as he strug
gled for life. Several young women who
witnessed the accident went TO his as
sistance and by prompt and original
plans began scheme to rescue him.
Several excited young men skated up
intent on brave deeds, full of suggestions,
but devoid of plans. The young women
pushed them out of the way without
ceremony and set about to work out
Mitchell's salvation by their own meth
DDS. Two Of the girls lay down on the
ice and the others held on their dresses
while they reached into the water and
seized the drowning man by the arms.
Considerable vigorous pulling resulted
in bringing Mitchell out upon the stron-
ger ice, where he soon recovered his
breath and went home to thaw out. -
