Miss Krftoffan's Appeal.
The last speaker was. Miss Krikorian, who
was introduced by DR.. Newman as a prod
uct Of the Christian schools established
in Armenia. She wore native dress which
included a head covering that draped down
in long folds about her body, exposing
orly her face to view. She was received
with attention, and spoke as one whose
friends had been massacred, which was the
case. Her address was read from manu-
script and was beautifully worded.
by this holy proceeding. IL you would
not add another star to your national
flag" she said, ''be sure You will add an-
other brightest and best star to your heav-
emily crown" This she said after an ap-
peal for the United States to take an ac-
tive part in surpressng the unspeakable
horrors and massacres going on in Ar
menia. She said:
This could be accomplished by the
United States through friendly memorials
to the European powers. but principally
to Russia, who now stands in the way OF
England's intervention.
'.As the United States can have no per-
scpal or national interest in the orient in
the nature of possessions or dominion, she
can, without suspicion Of any Interior de-
signs, intervene in this manner. She can
act for herself, and Turkey fears her. Be
ing a neutral power, she is unhampered by
the complications which render the Eu-
ropean powers inert while the terrible de-
struction goes or"
Miss Krikorian explained the manner in
which men and children are butchered by
the Turks. and the women outraged and
carried eff to live life worse than death
in the harems Of the Turks. The lust of
the Turks, she said, really an i'm
portant incentive 10 them to permit the
horrors of the massacres in order to obtain
the Armenian women for their harems.

A Great Meeting at the First Con-

ELOQUENT APPEALS FOR HUMANITY
Speeches by Justice Harlan, Rev.
Dn. TaImage and Stafford.
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN


A manly appeal for humanity was made
IN behalf Of the Armenians at the First
Congregational Church last evening. The
meeting represented all that is American.
ana the protest against Armenian outrages
was positive. It was not confined to those
embracing any one religion. There were
Protestants Of all denominations present as
well as a goodiy number of those embrac-
irg the Catholic faith. There were MEM
bers of the Hebrew race, who subscribe to
the Jewish religion, and many people who
were unidentified with any religious organi-
zation. II was not even a meeting wholly
Of white people. There were colored men
there, and this heterogeneous mass Of hu-
manity crowding the church to its utmost
limits Joined constantly In approving ap-
plause when the speakers Of the evening
appealed for fair play to the helpless Ar
nenians.

FOR SOUND CURRENCY.

and the propagation Of the party creed.
1.-The two old parties are to blame for
the present proportions Of the silver move
ment. II they had met the issue when
first proposed with the courage the great
parties should possess. the whole question
would long ago have been disposed of.
But conventions of both parties have so
often been filled with office holders and
office seekers that real sentiments have
been stif1ed and issues not squarely met.
There are now in the United States
senate fifteen senators who have been vot-
ing for free silver when in fact at heart
and from honest conviction they are for
sound money. By their cowardice the
senate is put in the false attitude of favor
ing the free silver heresy. The average
citizen respects the views Of that body, and
these towards. who have been afraid to
vote their real belief in the matter, have
aided largely in the propagation Of the free
silver craze. The great parties ought to
have the courage Of their convictions and
up and meet them like men. with decisive
action. That would remove the seeming
necessity or excuse for men in official po-
sition to act the coward and lend aid to
the propagation Of error and false faith.
I've have an active, earnest working Or
ganization already In forty-one states, and
propose to make an energetic campaign
and preserve the faith we profess. Our
standardbearers are men Of courage and
sound convictions, who will have a power
full personal influence in the battle. We
propose to wage the war all along the line
Of battle, defending the platform We wrote
and urging its claims as the true exposition
of the real Democracy.

WATSON TO TEXANS.
Crowd Mt Dnllas-Begs Voters
to Stand by Him.


Dallas. Tex. Sept. Thomas E. Wat
son, Of Georgia, vice presidential nominee
of the Populist party. addressed Labor
day audience of 5000 people at the fair
grounds to-day. He arrived last night
direct from Georgia, accompanied by Ma
tional Committeeman Reed, who is manag-
ing his tour.
Watson speaks at Bonham, Tex, to-
morrow, and goes from there to Kansas
Watson pleaded with the people to stand
to the contrac. made between laborers and
farmers in st. Louis in 1889 and the Peo-
pies party, which represents that con-
tract. Mckinley and Hobart represent
the enemies of labor and Sewall represents
the same thing he said. 'Sewall is Just
the opposite of Bryan in everything
He then asked that Sewall be pulled down
and Watson substituted.
At the state convention of Texas Ponu-
lists, 1t was currently reported that deal
was made whereby the state offices should
carried for Mckinley. without making di
rect reference to this. Watson assaiIed II
by saving: Have no Mckinley; his cleo

and that he will accept. Bryan can't

me as his running mate. If he does not,
the ticket will never be elected. Sewaii
brings the party no votes; he drives them
away. The gold element of the Demo-
cratic party are trying to tie Bryan's
the reforms you want. Will you let them
do it? If 1 should get off the ticket in
stead of Sewall. i would kill the Peoples
party and 1 would stamp myself as a
coward and a traitor. won't get off;

may run over me but you will have to

He said the present fight was the South
and West against the East labor against
monopolies. Sewall was national bank
er, railroad king and leaf in hand of
capital. He made an allusion to Sewalrs
sons stump speeches in interest of Re-
pnblicans, and said that when his son did
that, he would get under the bed.
His last appeal was for Texas to stand
by Bryan and Watson and let Mckinley
and Sewall alone. He was cheered repeat
edly.

STRUGGLED WITH A BURGLAR
G. F. COOMBER RECEIVES THREE
SLIGHT BULLET WOUNDS.
Awakened by the Noise Made by the
Thief, Who Was Engaged in Rob-
bing His House and Crap
pied With Him.

G. F. Coomber, of Gates & Coomber. the
brick manufacturers, was shot three times
by a burglar at his home, 2l11 Park ave-
nue., yesterday morning at 2:30 o'clock. All
of the wounds are slight.
Mr.. Coomber was awakened by a noise
the man made and got up from his bed
to investigate. There seemed to be no one
about, SO he started to go back to his bed.
In doing so he ran against the burglar,
with whom he instantly grappled. The
two men scuffied in the dark for minute
or two and then the burglar, finding he
could not loose himself from Mr.. Coom-
ber's firm grasp, fired three shots in sue
cession from his revolver.
The first bullet struck Mr.. Coomber's
left foot, ploughed furrow in it and en-
tered the floor. The second lodged in his
right leg just above the knee. The third
grazed his left side. burning his night
shirt. and entering the window casing be-
ltind him. 1t is probable that the last
time the burglar, in his desperation. aimed
his; revolver at Mr. Coomber's heart. The
shots were fired rapidly, one right after
the other. Then breaking Mr.. Coomber's
into the darkness. by way of the front
door, which he had left ajar. Mr.. Coon
ber's son, B. F. Coomber, was aroused by
the shooting and came running to his
fathers assistance He made his way inn
mediately to telephone and called for
DR.. ]. NJ. Singleton, who came and dressed
Mr.. Coomber's wounds.
The man took few valuables away with
him. All the Coombers missed are watch
and a chain. two breastpins and few
small trinkets. He got into the house by
the front door, which he opened by means
either of skeleton key or pair of
tweezers. He is described by Mr. Coomber
as being man of medium height, weigh
ing 140 or 150 pounds He wore a stubby
beard. Mr.. Coomber wrestled with him
pluckily until he fired the third shot; He
was visited by the police yesterday and
inspected. Detectives Snead and O'Brien
were detailed on the case later in the morn
ing
For several nights burglaries have been
quite frequent in the neighborhood in
which Mr.. Coomber lives. Last week DR..
S. c. DeLaps house. at 22l9 Brooklyn ave
nue., was entered by a man whom he might
easily have shot, he went about his unlaw-
full work SO boldly. The doctor thought
him member of the family and did not
shoot: He reported the matter to the po-
Ace. but says they have not made an in
vestigation. Since then numerous robberies
have taken place. The burglar or burg
lars seem to have a key which fits front
doors of all the houses in the neighborhood.
