CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. THE cmhas-

anniversary of the sulmn's accession To
the throne, owing Co the recent massacres
The dragomen of the embassies, while
they went TO the Yildiz kiosk to convey
the good wishes of the ambassadors, were
instructed to leave notes, which, although
they congratulate the sultan upon the
anniversary Of his accession to the throne,
expressed deep regret at the recent out
RACES.
There is no longer any doubt that the
massacres were organized by the Turkish
authorities, and 1t has been ascertained
that orders were only given TO the bashi-
bazouks to cease massacring the Armen-
ians after the bloody work had been GO
ing on for thirty hours. 1t Is also a fact
that hundreds Of Turks were brought over
from the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus in
order TO take part in the masSncres, and
many Armenians were put into boats,
which We're then taken out to sea. Their
fate is unknown, but there is not the
slightest doubt but that they have been
drowned.
Although it may be true that the attack
on the Ottoman bank originated with the
Armenian revolutionary committee, 1t is
admitted on all sides that the massacrcs
which followed were not justified, and
that from 5000 to 1000 people lost their

People in a position to judge the situa-

Hard Times and the State Public

The State Public School received 23:
children during the year from July /
1898, TO July T. 1896. This was an in
| crease of 30 per cent, over the preccd-
ing year The rate Of increase in de-
pendent and neglected children must
| be attributed to the hard times com
peling fathers and mothers 10 part
with their children. During July, 81
children We're sent TO this institution.
This continued increase in the number
of children who become wards of the
state must make thoughtful people con-
slider well the blessings of home, family
and kind friends.
To You, who have plenty and enough
TO spare it would seem as if conscience
would make you ask to aid these little
ones largely boys by taking them to
your homes. 1t is not necessary to
adopt them, but to shield them, pro-
tect them, educate them, in short, Civ
ing to them some of the blessings of
real family, with the love and home
that no institution can secure. Will
you take one on trial and see if he does
not make your home happier?
If some one could help IA bright col

would be considered an especial aid by
those engaged in finding homes for
these children. Any person willing to

was packed to the doors Tuesday even
ing, on the occasion of the address by
the Hon j. G. Burrows. The meeting
was presided over by Hon. A. b. Oar
ragh, who announced that as the train
bearing Mr.. Burrows had not ar
rived the time would be occupied by local
speakers, and introduced j. Lee Potts of
Ithaca. Mr.. Potts, had spoken but a
few minutes, however, when Mr. Bur
rows came. His presence on the ros-
trum was greeted by tremendous ap-
plause, and for over an hour and half
he held the closest attention of the large
audience. His explanations of the
various phases of the vexed question of
finance were clear-cut and forceful, and
that they were understood and appre-
ciated by the audience was evident from
the frequent applause, and many who
had gone to the meeting doubling, were
firmly convinced. by his logic.
Many persons were present from Alma
and Ithaca, and the Ithaca band fur
nished music for the evening.
