The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-01-31

The most beautiful spot in Muskegon is in
separately associated with the name of Hack
ley, and in all Western Michigan there is not
name better known, and among the studious
and those interested in deeds of philanthropy,
this name is known and admired Chas. III.
Hackley has been in the lumber business con-
tinuously since 1856 and in that time has
amassed a fortune, which gives him rating
among the wealthy men of the nation. Bat
with wealth there did not come that tightening
of the purse-strings which is generally q
marked characteristic of wealthy men.
There is no prettier spot in the State than
Hackley Park in square surrounded and
pierced by stone walls, emphasizing with their
whiteness the green of faultlessly kept lawns,
its browning pride towering soldiers monu-
ment on the top of which stands bronze figure
pointing ever in remembrance of the heroes
who died that the nation might live. Sur
rounding this park are the magnificent Hack
ley Public Library-a poem in granitc-with
its 10000 volumes, and the equally stately
Hackley school, like beehive with its 600
children. Other elegant buildings testify like
wise to the liberality and munifcence of this
man who has pulled wealth out Of the. forests
of Michigan.
1t is no wonder then that the name of Chas.
III. Hackley is known at home and abroad.
His munifcence to Muskegon alone represents
an outlay of nearly half a million. For the
past twenty years he has been constant suf-
ferer from neuralgia and rheumatism, also
numbness of the lower limbs, so much
so that il has seriously interfered with his
pleasure in life. For some time past his
friends have noticed that he has seemed TO
grow young again, and to have recovered the
health which he had in youth.
To correspondent of the Press, Mr.. Hack
ley explained the secret of his transformation
and to his friends who have known how he
suffered, It is indeed a transformation. 81

APPEAL FROM THE TRANSvAAL.
Americans There Ask Uncle Sam to Look
After Their Rights.

Americans Inere ASK OnCle sam 10 LOOK
After Their Rights.
LONDON, Jan. pa dispatch to The
Times from Pretoria, dated Saturday,
says: A meeting of the American resi-
dents here was held today, and it was de-
cded to telegraph to Secretary of State
Olney that in view of the arrests of Amer
lean citizens and the fact chat their prop
srty was jeopardized he be requested that
Rdiplomatic agent might be sent to ar
range matters with view to any exigen-
cies that might arise.
At the same time it was to be represent
ed that Americans hers, while preserving
friendly attitude toward the Transvaal
government, desired that their grievances
should be redressed They had embarked
considerable capital and had devoted en-
ergy and talent to develop the country.
They had agitated constitutionally for
their rights, and though some had taken
up arms to show their determination not
a shot had been fired. They therefore
urged that attention should be paid to
their complaints.

THE BLACK PIT OF GHELLEGUzAN.
Facts About That Butchery still Wrapped
in Obscurity.

in Obscurity.
For IA similar reason the details of the
GhelleguZan massacre, where it was said
that great pit was filled with corpses,
are still wrapped in obscurity. Consul
Hampson, who made tour OF the viii
lagos, puts the number of victims at
twenty to sixty to the village. Shipley
therefore thinks it fair TO estimate forty
dead for each of the twentythree villages
destroyed. He was unable to gather any
evidence as TO the truth of the alleged
massacre at the convent of Surpmerapa,
but he thinks that all such stories were
enormously exaggerated If not absolutely
invented.
He says that the story of the torture Of
the priest Ohannes at Ghelleguzan seems
to have some foundation, but the alleged
fiaying Of the Armenian Shero by Colonel
Tewfx is extremely doubtful. Without
desiring to appear partial to the Armeni-
ans Shipley emphasizes that they were ex-
posed to the rapacity of government Of
fcials and to the exactions Of the Kurds,
who would have burned their houses and
stolen their cattle unless they had paid
their demands. 1t is easy to understand,
Shipley continues, that the Armenians
COulu uOb pay bdAes anu bdUlSIy Une huruss
and as the government did nothing to
keep the Kurds in order one cannot be
surprised that the Armenians were dis.
contented
Consul Hampson also attaches a report
Of the inadequacy Of and the obstacles to
the distribution OF relief. Among the Of
fetal dispatches is ono from G.. M Hall
ward, the British vice consul at Van,
written in November, 1894, which
describes horrible butchery by the
Kurds at Sassoun, when men were burnt
alive, Ghelleguzan priest was tossed on
bayonets, and sixty girls were driven to
q church and the soldiers then ordered to
dispose Of them as they liked and then TO
massacre them. Shipley doubts this story.
The editorials in the morning papers
upon the Armenian Blue Book mostly
comment on the fact that they only pict.
ure the overture to long tale of massa-
ere, and that the careful report of the del
egates has justified every denunciation
yet published of the sultan.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29-At the meeting Of
the Western Passenger association held
here for the purpose of considering re-
quests for an extension of time en- tickets
to the q. A. X. encampment at st. Paul,
and rates below those already granted for
the knights Of Pythias at Minneapolis,
both requests were denied. Some of the
roads were willing to make the extension
on the Grand Army tickets, but the gen.
eral feeling was against it and the matter
was decided In the negative.
In the matter of the knights OF Pythias
the refusal to meet the 1-cent rate made
by the 500 line was unanimous. Ii the
encampment Is taken TO Buffalo or any
other point east 1t will not be granted any
better terms, and possibly not AS good as
those offered by the western roads. The
meeting had positive assurances from the
Joint Traffic association that II either the
encampment or the meeting of the Knights
was held in their territory no better rates
would be made than have already been
made by the western lines.
Commander Walker said, after he had
been informed that the association would
not grant the desired extension on tickets:
We'll, that simply lets Sc. Paul out of it.
That is all there is to that The entire
matter will now be rc-opened, and anoth.
er city be selected for the encampment"
When informed that the roads in the
Joint Traffic association had declared that
they would not grant terms more favora-
BILE than those already made by western
lines. Commander Walker replied: "Then
there will be no g. A. r.. encampment;
we must have thirty-day tickots, or we
will not have an encampment."

BIG VESSEL AGROUND.
American Liner st. Paul Hard Fast in the

Sand.
LONG BRANCH, n. j., Jan. 27-Presi-
dent &. A. Griscom and all the other rep
resentatives of the International Naviga-
ton company popularity known as the
American line, have taken a decidedly
more hopeful view of the situation of the
stranded steamer ST. Paul, which went
ashore hard and fast off this place Satur-
day morning in fog.
OF course when the st. Paul was
sighted immediate efforts were made to
get aboard of her by the life-savers. There
was no trouble In this, by the breaches
buoy, though boats could not be launched
through the surf. The passengers how
ever, were all taken of by tug boats and
went ON to New York, leaving only the
captain and crew aboard.
The big vessel is surrounded by wrecking
tugs who are taking every opportunity
to get her of, and she had been dragged
by the tugs and lifted by the surf into a
better position, but when the last pull
was taken at her last evening she was
stuck as fast as If she had grown there.
