For Suffering Armenia,

LARGE AND REPRESENTATIVE GATHER ING AT THE TOWN HALL.-AN INTER. EsTING AND ELOQUENT ADDRESS BY H. K, sALUELIAN, A NATIVE ARMENIAN. - GENEROUS RESPONSE ON THE PART OF THE AUDIENCE.
 The meeting at the Town hall on Mon- day night in behalf of the suffering Armenians, called out an audience which nearly filled the hall.
 The speakers stand was draped with
 the national colors, while flags had been arranged above the platform. Seated on
 the platform were H. K. Samuelian, the speaker of tue evening, Rev George T.
 Linsley, Rev o. o. Wright, Rev P. Fox, Rev o. w. Barker, Rev James Taylor, Marcus c. Hawley, Alpheus c, Baker,
 k. F. Hawley, M. c. Rodgers, l.. c.
 Morris, E. L, Johnson, M. J. Houlihan, Henry G. Curtis, NJ. J. Bradley, Sidney Kiibride, Patrick Ready and W. Nj. Rev, holds.
 Rev George I. Linslev was the chair man of the meeting, which opened with the singing Of ''From Greenland's ley Mountains" Mir Linsley in an exceed ingly felicitous address, introduced MT Samuelian, who spoke for about an hour. In hIs opening words he said: "I come from Darkest Armenia which is delug- ed with Christian blood in this very hour. The speaker claimed the problem was not an Armenian one, but question of humanitarianigm. He described the geographical location of Armenia, which comprises a territory as large as New York and Pennsylvania combined. The Armenians originally numbered 20,000.- GOO, but as the result of persecution and slaughter have dwindled to between GOO, 900 and 4,O00, coo. The speaker p sid his compliments to the absurd charges of F. Hopkinson Smith, who claimed the Armenians were anarchists.
 The Armenians are not anarchists, said Mr Samuelian, for five centuries we have been submissive people to an unjust power. The word government should not be used in connection with Turkey, which is a synonym for legalized brigan. dage and organized murder. He spoke of the unjust taxes imposed upon the Armenians, which were sufficient in speaker thought Europe was largely re- sponsible for the state of affairs in Tur- key. His reference to the suferings of the patriotic Cubans elicted applause. In speaking of charity, he said: If charity begins at home, it ought not to stay at home.
 MT Samuelian spoke with the convic- tion of man terribly in earnest, and that he carried the subject home to his hearers was evident by the substantial offering taken.
 Sheriff M. c. Rodgers took charge of this part of the program. The audience was divided into sections, collectors ap- pointed, cards circulated and when the hats were passed, and the money count ed, it was found S107 had been received. This was swelled by later subscriptions to over $125. The meeting closed with the singing of ''America." An interest ing feature of the evening was the dis posal by auction of scrap book, which had been made by number of children for the benefit of the Armenians. It went at $2. 50, Ex Senator Houlihan being l the purchaser.
 c. H. Northrop kindly acted as treasur- CT for the committee, forwarding the money at once to Brown Brothers in 1 New York.
