ing it is added, TO ms subserviency to the
palace authorities. Mgr. Bartolomeos was
formerly archbishop of Brusa and was
chosen locum tenens of the Armenian pa
triarch, Matthe Izmirlian when the latter
resigned early in August last. Bartolo-
meos was the Turkish governments can
ddate for patriarch at the election in De-

pathy, and when he was made lOcum ten
ems and was received in audience by the
Sultan he made address of the most
servile description which aroused the in
dgnation of the Armenians and the con-
tempt OF the Turks themselves.

Butte, Mont, July 22.-A new story
has come to light concerning Rev.

er, who preached a sermon IN h't.e
| and also disposed of the clothing OF
| one of his victims at the same time,
and who is well known in Minnesota
and Northwest Wisconsin, where he
had wives. If the story is true Her
mans is wanted in Sweden for the
poisoning of his whole congregation.
Out of about forty persons VINO were
( poisoned about fourteen died from the
effects of it. There now seems to ne
but little doubt that Hermans Is one
of the monsters of the century. n ne
is still at large. A Swedish lady in
Chicago. who saw Hermans' picture
after the exposure in Salt Lake,
thought she recognized something ia
miliar about the face. and finally on
looking over some old pictures. she
came across the same face in a group
Of Swedish clergynen. The most start
ling part of the discovery was that
the preacher was wanted for muruef-
ing fourteen persons in sweden ne
had been pastor of a church where the
lady lived and lad given poison to the
church COMMITMENTS. The preacher
disappeared and his identity was lost
until the lady claims she has dlscov-
cred him in Hermans, who affected
Butte people so favorably by the fer
vor of his preaching. After he disap-
peared from his Swedish congregation
it was found that he had an object i'll
his tiendisn work. 1t was found that
he had been playing fast and loose
with the female members of his flock
and he feared exposure, so concluded
to kill his congregation off and make
q uCW start.

scab and ticks is a preparation of pure
nicotine prepared from tobacco. Own
ers of sheep generally are using it in
stead of lime, sulphur and arsenic and
seem unanimous in believing that
sheep ticks and scab will soon be to-
tally exterminated. Nicotine is a dead

for dipping does not affect animals. In
this respect it differs from the mineral
poisons. The Scabcura Dip Co. OF Chi
