Fugitive Armenians De.
tanned at New York.
Liable To Deportation, Which Might
Mean Death to Them, and Ger
[ tainly Imprisonm of the
{ Unfortunate Mems Family Slain
Before His Eyes by Kurds.

New York, Jan. 27.-Two Armenians,
whose families have been slaughtered
in Turkey by the Kurds, are now pris
oners on Ellis island without the neces
sary amount of money to secure their
admission to this country. They came
on the Gun arder Servia, which arrived
Jan. 20. Their tale of injustice and
sutferings rs piteous, and they plead
for admission on the ground that they
are not paupers and that deporta tion
means to them, perhaps, the loss OF
life, and certainly imprisonment. The
men are Peter Der Cara bedian and d.
n. Ghacherdoorian. The first is un-
married and 22 years old. The latter
is now widower and is 80 years old.
Both were residents of Harpoot near
Alexandretta, Turkey, until four
months ago, when they stole away at
midnight and after many hardships
reached Smyrna.
Children Slain; Wife Kidnapped.
Ghacherdoorian was in bed with his
family when he was aroused by the
fierce yells of the Kurd soldiers and
the sound of shots. Before his eyes his
three little children were torn from
their mothers arms and slain. Then
the wife was seized by brutal hands
and carried away the while crying to
the helpless husband to rescue her
from the fate that the Armenian
woman fears more than death. She
was never seen again by the husband.
Daylight came, and Ghacherdoorian
remained in a cellar all day. At night
he and Garabedian stole away. All
night they walked and the next day
they hid again. And so they travelled
until they reached Smyrna, where they
found friends whom they could trust.
From Smyrna they went to Marseilles
and from there they took the steamer
to Liverpool. There they sailed on
the Servia for America. But as they
had no money Dr. Senner, the commits
sioner of immigration at this port, was
compelled to detain them. The Arme-
nian Relief association of this city has
become interested in the case and
every effort will be made to have the
two fugitives liberated.

DUAL BRAIN ACTION.
An Insane Patient Who Was Som etiia es
Welsh and Sometimes EngItsh.

A curious case of dual brain action is
described in Brain. An insane patient
varied considerably in his mental con-
dition. In one state he was subject to
chronic mania. spoke English, was fair
ly intelligent, and was right-handed;
in another state he was subject to de-
mentia, was almost unintelligible, but
what could be understood was Welsh,
and he was then left-haDded. In his
English intervals he remembered clear
~ what had happened in previous Eng
lish periods, but his memory was a
blank to what occurred during the
Welsh stages. He preferred to write
with his right hand, but il asked TO do
so, would write with his left hand, and
then the writing was from right to left.
Mr.. Bruce, who observed the case, In
fers from it that the cerebral hemis-
pheres are capable of individual mental
action, that the one mentally active at
any time can control the motor tunc-
tons, and that the patient lives two
separate existences during the two
stages through which he passes, the
mental impressions in each existence
being recorded In one cerebral hemis-
phere only.

An Unsophisticatcd Young Lady Learns

A little knowledge is by no means a
dangerous thing, when it comes to bust
ness matters. Even a small amount
there might save one from a mistake
like the following, described by the De
troit Tribune:
Il want TO send hundred dollars to
friend in Chicago, said handsomely
dressed young lady to the paying teller
of one of the city banks week or two
ago; II want to buy a draft"
Her roll of tens was quickly ex-
changed for a Chicago draft, and she
tripped out of the bank Two days
afterward she returned and said she
had concluded not to send the draft,
and would like to have the money re-
turned.
VERY well" said the teller, where
is your draft?"
''Oh! 1 tore it UP. didn't suppose
that made any difference"
ut makes hundred dollars differ
ence," replied the teller, unless you
can return the draft, or get your father
to give the bank bond for the amount"
81 wouldn't have him know about
this for anything In the world" she re-
piled; but that seemed to be the only
alternative, and she departed in an ex-
tremely unhappy frame of mind. In
two hours she returned with the torn
pieces of the draft pasted together.
They had been thrown into a crate
where, fortunately, no fire had been
kindled. She recovered her money, and
with IT she got useful bit of informa-
ton about the value of drafts.
