Armenia.

DR.. S. M. Hagopan has given us the
following poem which was written by
Archbishop Nur Bey De Lusignon, who
was descendent Of the last dynasty of
Armenian kings. He studied in Venice
and became an archbishop and was
elected Patriarch of Constantinople, but
declined to serve. He was an eloquent
preacher as well as distinguished poet,
author and linguist. He died at Con-
stantinople in 1892, poisoned, it was
commonly believed, by the Turkish gov
eminent for political reasons. This is
translated from the Armenian by Miss
Alice Stone Blackwell of Boston, Mass.
II a sceptre of diamond, glttering crown,
Were mine at thy feet / would lay them both
down,
Queen of queens, o Armenia.
If a mantle of purple were given to me-
mantle for kings, would wrap it round
Poor Armenia, my mother
If the fire OF my youth with its sinews of
Could return, would offer its rapture and
zeal
All to thee, my Armenia!
Had life time of ages been granted to me,
had given it gladly and freely to thee,
my life, my Armenia!
Were offered the love of a maid lily-fair,
| would choose thee alone for my joy and
my care,
My one love, my Armenia
Were given crown Of rich pearls, should
prize
Far more than their beauty, one tear from
thine eyes,
o my weeping Armenia
Were offered proud Europe, to take or re.
fuse,
Thee alone, with thy griefs on thy head
would choose
For my country Armenia
Might choose from the world where my
dwelling should be,
would say, still thy rivers are Eden to me
My beloved Armenia
Were given a seraphs celestial Tyre,
/ would sing with my soul, to its chords o
pure fire,
Thy dear name, my Armenia.

physician who can scientifically do SO
without making mistake.

has no equal in the world" The Boston
Traveller says, There is no experiment in

is to tell any one his disease, without
asking a question, he is not likely to
doctor his patients for the wrong dis
ease" The New York Tribune says
CDR. K. c. Flower Of Boston is the high
est authority on chronic disease and en-
joys the largest practice of any living
physician"

SANTA FE CROSS BILL.
New Complication which VIII De-
lay the Expected Reorganization.

CHICAGO. Feb. A cross bill was filed
III the United States circuit court today that
may delay the completion of the reorganiza-
ton Of the Santa Fe railway. The bill raises
questions Of the ownership of the line from
Chicago to Kansas City, denying the claims
of the bonds now held by the Union Trust
company and under which foreclosure pro-
ceedings are now pending in pursuance of
the general plan of reorganization. The COM
plainants are William Church Osborn, Fred
erick Sturges, Edward Sturges. Thomas Ber-
klebork and the trustees of the estates of
Edward Sturges. Henry C. Sturges and Will
lam H. Osborn. all Eastern parties. These
parties claim to own 62S bonds of the denom-
ination Of 1000 each of the issue of Jan. l.
1877, and assert that they the only out
standing bonds of that Issue. On the other
hand. the reorganization, or new, company,
which recently purchased the road at sale,
claims to be the owner OF "A. 721 bonds of the
same issue. and which were pledged as Sc
curity to the Union Trust company for the
general mortgage of Oct. Is, 1889.
Incidental to the issue of the bonds in
question the compliments charge that the
old corporation. had concealed considerable
property to evade paying creditors and al
lege that among such: concealed property

ST. PAUL AGAIN AFLOAT.
Big Liner Suffers No Injury From
Her Accident.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The steamer st. Paul,
of the International Navigation companys
line, which went ashore on the sand bar off
Long Branch week ago last Saturday, was
pulled off the bar at $3.50 this morning. The
four wrecking tugs of the Merritt and Chap
man wrecking companies succeeded with the
Paul from the bar. Fifty minutes later the
vessel passed the Atlantic highlands, bound
for New York, under her own steam.
The conditions this morning were favorable
for releasing the stranded vessel for the wind
was blowing with considerable force The sea
was good, and the position of the st. Paul
was such that she was able to aid herself
considerably by her propellers. When the
after o'clock the big hawsers strained and
creaked. There was a pause for moment
and then the big liner was seen to glide very
slowly but very surely seward; the big black
hull moved eastward, and in a moment or
two was in deep water. AS she passed through
the Narrows the passengers on the North
German steamer Lain crowded on her decks
and cheered for her safe entry into port.
"Hail Columbia and kept on until she was
moored at the pier of the American line COM
pany where she was greeted joyously.
Capt. Jamison refused to talk. The vice
president of the company, A. c. Griscom,
however, made the following statement: 1.-The
ship, so far as we know, or rather, SO far
we can see, has not sustained the slightest
injury. We feel very proud of the ship dur
ing her adverse trials. and are now willing
to run her to Southampton. We will have
our men inspect the ship externally and inter-
nally. and. in addition to that. she will be
examined by the proper authorities who will
probably be more able to tell whether or not
the American line or its ships are capable
of carrying mails and passengers from this
country TO England safely"
The officials of the company are authority
for saying that the st. Paul will probably sail
for Southampton in about two weeks. as ad-
vertised. They also state that complete

WILL NEVER REACH PORT.
Steamer Wild Flower, Loaded With
Oil, Said to Have BIoxvn Tn

NEW YORK. Feb. Capt Anderson. of
the tank Steamship Phosphor, which got into
port today from Shields. went to the office
OF the Mutual Towing company in the Pro
duce Exchange, during the afternoon, and
told story that perhaps accounts for the
n non in England OF the British tank
p n,ra ROVER, which left Philadelphia for
E fS. france, on Dec IL last. The Wild
Flower has never been heard of since. The
Vessel yes had 800 900 gallons of petroleum in
her tanks, and left Philadelphia in company
with the Phosphor. For twenty-three days
the Phosphor struggled on her way to CO.
penhasen. From there she went to Shields.
a ana 1ust before Capt. Anderson sailed from
convinced him that the Wild Flower had
made made her last voyage. 1t was this: The
steamship Loeb Elive from New York Dec

on Jan; s. that about 80 miles west-southwest
from the coast of Ireland, on JAM 6. the crew
saw saw sudden I71 glare in the sky. As far as
the eye could see to the westward the sky
was vivid red for a moment and then il
died out slowly. until in half hour the sea s
rim was lost again in the darkness.
A few seconds after the first fiare-up A
dull roar. like the discharge of a heavy gun.
made the Loeb Elive vibrate and rock The
crew were amazed at what they then thought
was one of natures pranks.
When Capt. Anderson found that the Wild
Flower had not yet made port he came to
the conclusion that it was that vessel that
the Irish coast, and the captain of the Loeb
Elive was also convinced that the fiare-up
was the explosion of the 1000 gallons of
oil in the Wild Flowers tanks.
Capt Anderson says the Wild Flower
would have been just about where the skip
per of the Loeb Elive saw the glare on Jan.
6. as the twenty-three days storm would
have detained her and blown her out of her
course somewhat. There were twenty-nine
men on the missing vessel when she went
out OF the Delaware eapes. Her skipper was
Capt. Stanwell. He had a wife and little
daughter. who are now in London. Many OF
the crew were Americans who shipped in
Philadelphia.

Brownies" will be given at the Metro

''The Brownies will continue for the
remainder of the week, and the present
theatrical season Is likely to offer no
more worthy entertainment for the
patronage of both young and old.
The enormous laughing success,
"Charley's Aunt" comes to the Metro
politan the week commencing Sunday
night. The piece is described as mirth-
provoking from beginning to end. The
fun is of the most rollicking descrip-
ton, but never at any moment Dor
ders on vulgarity.
Joseph Hart, Miss Carrie De Mari
and a very good company will furnish
successful engagement at the Grand

Old Boy" which is Mr.. Harris latest
article, is remarkably clever comedy,
and has met with much favor by those
who have seen it. The matinee today
will be largely ATTENDED.
An additional attraction with Sousa
and his forces will be the st. Paul ap-
pearance with this organization Of Miss
Myrta French, soprano, and Miss Cur
