directed the work of her agents from

Turkish capital she met Izmiriian, the
urtgorian Armenian patr arch, since re-
sig;itd, Mgr. A zarian, the Armenian Catholic
patriarch, but was not presented to the
Su tan.
Sir Phillip Currie, the British ambassa-
dor, and All Of the ministers called upon
Miss Barton, who. is held in the highest
esteem in Turkey. Miss Barton has re-
eeived the decnrauon OF an Armenian order,
founded in the twelfth century, but has
not heard of the decoration conferred upon
her by the sultan. An Interesting scene
occurred at Buda Pesth, where Miss Bar
ton stopped on her way back to London.
A hundred Turks who are employed at
the exhibition now la progress in Bula
Pesth, learning that AiR baEton was in
the city, sought her out and crowded about
her and kissed her hand and raised it to
their f0reheads. Though endeayortu4 to
make her stay IN London very quiet, Miss
Barton Is receiving q great deal Of atten,
