indianapolis News.)

There Is little to comfort a Christian
in the condition of things in the far East
The Armenians are from all accounts
still being murdered and starved by the
Turks. The people of Crete are fighting
for their liberty, and against Turkish
misrule. Macedonia is in the throes OF
civil war, and there, also, Turkish SOL
diers are at their bloody business. There
is no doubt Of the facts, and no one
tries to belittle their enormity But
Europe continues inactive. The situa-
ton has not materially changed since
the Armenian horrors first drew atten-
ton to the state Of affairs in that region.
The powers merely watch one another,
fearful to take step, no matter how
great the pressure becomes. Meanwhile,
the Sultan must enjoy the discontinue
of the Christian people who protest, and
valnly, against the atrocities perpe-
trated by his soldiers. The Saturday
Review speaks of this situation as liter
ally too shameful for words" From it
we reproduce this paragraph, taken
from German newspaper, whose words
are said to be official:
eve share the opinion of the powers
that a European war would be greater
evil than the continued oppression for
some years of the Cretans, and we
should regard any European statesman
who was willing to risk the bones of a
single soldier in the cause of the Cretans
as blind fool or a depraved criminal"
This is certainly blunt, and it cannot
encourage hope that the situation, so far
as Germany is concerned, is likely to
change. 1t is to be feared that the ex-
tract expresses the real feeling Of the
other powers

A CANNIBAL TREE,
1t Completely Destroys the Bodies
i'm a Cemetery.

Forty years ago a honey locust, i'm
ported from Europe, was planted in
the cemetery at Orrington Me. 1t grew
and thrived, as the agent who sold it
said it would, and for a time it's fra
grant flowers and beautiful foliage were
the admiration of the town people, Then
the sexton complained that the locust
was sending its roots all over the Gene
terry, thereby increasing his labors when
digging grave.
For severa, years the locusts contin-
ued to spread until the trees grew all
over the cemetery and ingress was diff
cult. Efforts to kill the trees were
fruitless, and cutting them down only
made them grow the more. Finally II
was decided to remove the bodies and
this was done. The town paid the ex-
pense of moving those whose relatives
had moved away and could not attend
to it,
Strangely enough many of the graves
contained no bones or traces of the
bodies that had been buried. 1t was
supposed that the roots of the locust
trees broke open the collins and alb
sorbed the bodies, turning them through
the mysterious alchemy of nature into
flowers that scented the air. Now what
was once cemetery is tangled mass
of shrubbery into which a rabbit can
scarcely force it's way.

Entertainment OF Emperors and Princes
Is Expensive.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
The Earl OF Lansdale Is known TO have
spent close upon a million dolalrs in con-
nection with the four days visit which
Emperor William paid him al Iowther
castle last autumn. They say that Lady
ELL" Beresford paid $4,000 OF her Ham
mersly dollars 10 entertain the prince
from Saturday TO Monday at Deepdene,
while. according 10 all accounts. the re-
cent stay OF the Prince OF Wales at
Highclere castle with young Lord and
Lady CarnarvOn must have cost in the
neighborhood OF a million Of dollars, II
not more.
Not only was the grand old place re-
furnished al immense expense from cell
lar to garret. the apartments destined
for the prince being even pansled and
tapestried anew. but there were even ad-
d!tional stables and accommoda lions for
the servants built for the occasion, the
number OF horses and carriages being
likewise largely increased. Then, too,
Lord Carnarvon had taken the precau-
ton 10 stock his coverts with some 1900
artificially reared pheasants. purchased
at a heavy cost from the Great Hamp-
snire game farm. which makes a spe-
cIalty OF pheasant breeding.
On the three days that the prince and
his party were able to get out after the
birds during his stay at HiGhclere he
and his party succeeded in slaughtsring
no less than 1900 birds, and Lad not the
heavy rain kept the guests indoors dur
ing the remainder OF the princes visit
it is probable that the size Of the bag
would have been doubled.
In spite OF the bad weather the prince
cannot have been bored, so varied were
the indoor amusements. Lord Carnar-
Won had engaged the services Of the lead
ing and professional billiard players TO
exhibit their skill at the tables. Then
there were Indian Juggl-rs, English con-
jurers. songstressCs Of the Yyette Gull
bert type from Paris, a dramatic troupe
from London and the famous Gottlieb
band to discourse sweet music, Lord Car
narvon having no private string band Of
his own, as have Lord Lonsdale and
several other British mobiles.
Special trains carried the guests 10 and
from London as well as to the agricul-
tural show in the neighboring town,
while the wants Of the inner man were
attended TO by no less than nin= addi-
tional frst-class chefs from Paris, Lon
don and Vienna, engaged. In addition to
Lord Carnarvon's own private staf Of
four chefs, his cuisine being famed as
one Of the most perfectly organized in
London.
Throughout the princes stay the menu
was daintily submitted to him for his
approval, in compliance with the rules
Of etiquette. Though not a gourmand,
he IS, nevertheless, a gourmet, and as
such prefers small, choice dinners to Ella
borste banquets. In fact, there is moth
ing ne abhors to such all extent as a
dinner of many courses, and he declines
TO remain any longer at table than an
hour. He is waited on by his own serv-
ant, who stands behind his chair, and
who takes the dishes from the other
servants. But it Is not true that he
carries about with him his own wines to
private HOUSES. This IS a precautlon
which he only adopts in the case Of pub

SPAIN AND ONIONS.

When American refuses to partake Of
its sueculent onion Spain is attacked in
a vital point without formal adoption
as the vegetable symbol Of the peninsular
Kingdom this gifted plan; has for many
centuries been practically identified with
It. II seems TO lack the romance OF the
rose OF England and the lily OF France
and the sturdiness OF the thistle OF Scot
land. but it is close to the leek OF Wales
or the sunflower Of Kansas for practical
utility.
Back in the reign OF Charles ]. of Eng
land the Spanish ambassador TO the court
Of ST. James is found complaining that
the hands OF the English ladies, which
he was accustomed TO bow over and
@ kiss. lacked the adorabl, odor OF the
dsrk-eysd beauties OF his native land.
Historians are agreed that this delicate
scent was none other than that OF the
onion, which the pious sehora consumed
in such quantities that it perfumed her
entire system. In Don Quixote" onions
abound. as they do in GIL Bias" and
'Asmodeus." All the picturesque novels,
indeed. thread the silver-coated bulbs
along their narrative. as they may yet
be seen in strings decorating the ceiling
of an old-fashioned farmhouse. Coming
down to the seventies OF our own century,
John Hay records in ''Castilian Days"
that the onion is TO the Spaniard what
rice IS 10 the Chinese Our lberian eats
onions, talks onions-ir a double sense
and thinks onions-not so bad habit Of
thought. either. for the orion. an it
please you. hath a biting wit"
During the bitter tirne when the
naughty dons kept tie Dutch so busy
taking Holland II was remarked that
their favorite victual reflected itself in
their habit of being. Like its glossy
blade, they were tall. erect and spare;
like its flavor, they we've given to acer-
bity; they had its penetration, and. like
1t again, they caused the tears OF thous-
ands to flow down cheeks long arid.
The same oniony character crops out
TO this day. The analogy is close be-
tween the fiery nation breaking out. not
sporadically but dinuslvely. within the
last fortnight and the permeatlon Of
modern apartment building with reminis-
cent tunes whenever one OF the inha5lt-
ing families sees fit to smother its even
ing steak.
II, then. the American nation desires
TO offer deadly insult TO Spain It might
better stop burning red and yellow flags
and efigies OF little boy kings. and,
stabbing in a vital part, go on to boycott
the onion.
