pc taken under this edict are marched

down by soldiers. The reports of pris-
oners captured by Weyler are only the

"The former practice of the Spanish
authorities of shooting prisoners in
MORO castle and throwing the bodies
into the water for sharks, has been
stopped, because not long ago several
bodies drifted into the bay of Havana.
The authorities explained to inquiring
citizens that the men had probably
drowned. Bullet holes in the head,
however, disproved this. The people
would welcome anything to hasten the
end, not only on account of the loss of
property and life, but on account of the
massacres.'' -

What Happened to Family from Drink
ing Impregnated Water.

What Happened to Family from Drink
ing Impregnated Water.
A remarkable story comes from the
upper Yakima country, Washington.
Two years ago Peter Stromshadt To-
Gated on a piece of land near what is
now known as Borax Springs, his fami-
ly consisting of his wife and two chill
dren. A few days after his settlement
Stromshadt discovered spring close
to the shack he had built, the water of
which was strongly impregnated with
iron, but not unpalatabble. Stromstadt
dug and deepened the spring, and since
July, 1898, the family has used the
water for all domestic purposes.
One night recently a heavy electric
storm passed over the cascades. ac-
companied by vivid displays of light
ming. The following day Mrs. Strom-
stadt, while kindling fire in the stove,
found it almost impossible to separate
the stove litter from her hand. Her
husband, hearing her scream, ran to
her assistance, when, to his surprise,
he found that he, too, experienced great
difficulty in detaching any article of
iron with which his hands came in con-
tact.
Breakfast was finally prepared and
the family sat down to the meal. The
children, girls of five or seven years,
respectively, drank their milk from tin
cups. and upon raising the cups to their
mouths found themselves unable to
detach the cups FROM their lips. Strorn-
stadt, who is an intelligent immigrant
from Sweden, was nonplussed, and,
while unable to account for the won
derful occurrence, nevertheless laughed
at his wife's excited declarations that
the family was bewitched.
A member of the Portland. Ore,
academy of science, to whom the cir
cumstance was related, says that the
Stromstadt family has become satu-
rated with iron, which was rendered
magnetic by the passage of electricity
from the clouds to the earth during the
recent electric storm. Stromstadt him
self takes the matter pllilosophicalIy
and aside from the Inconvenience of
having his head decorated with a
fringe of knives, forks and teaspoons
which arc attached to him, is inclipe6

FACE IN ARMENIA.
ArmenIan's Election as Patriarch
Good Omen.


CoNsrANT1NoPLE, Nov. I9.-Monsig-
more Maghaki Ormanian's election as
the new Armenian patriarch is an excel
lent sign of peace in the future. An i'm
perial trade will probably be issued to-
morrow, approving the election, and the
next day the new patriarch will enter
upon his functions. He has already de-
cided that religious councils shall take
immediate steps to examine the rules of
organic law, which will doubtless be
modified.
According to their religion, the Arme-
mans belong to the Armenian Gregorian
church, which in the year 500 separated
from the Greek church at the council of
Chalcedon. They have likewise separ-
ated from the United Catholic church,
and they now recognize as their highest
religious authority the patriarch of
Etchmianzin in Russia, who bears the
title of Catholics of Sis (Kiliken). The
patriarch of Constantinople occupies a
most important position, as he is recog-
nized as the representative of the Ar
menian nation and church at the sub
lime porte. He is chosen from a body
of 140 mem bers OF the national assem- bly,,
who cit at Constantinople, and this
election must be confirmed by the sui
tan. The inner affairs of the the nation
are settled by two councils.
The former Gregorian patriach, Izmir-
lian, resigned in August, 1896, in conse-
quence of Ground robbin," signed by
the Armenians at the sublime porte
among whom the opinion had gained
ground that fair share of "blood guilt
ness'' should have been laid at the door
of one without whose connivance Ar
menian intrigues would have been i'm
possible. The political importance of
this event consisted in the fact that the
sultan always persistently refused to re4
ceive Izmirliap.
The Herald's correspondent in Con-
stantinople wrote at the time:
"Now that this obstacle to any possi-
BILE reconciliation has been removed, the
prospect of satisfactory settlement of
! the Armenian question is confidently
/ looked for ward to on all sides, but the
sultan's sine qua non is the frank recog-
milton of the the resignation of the revo-
lutionary character of the late move
ment and submission @
Monsignore Bartolomos, late G-egori-
an bishop of Brusa, was chosen to Iocum
tenens of the Armenian patriachate on
the resignation of Monsignore Izmirlan.
The sultan was highly pleased at the
choice at the time. and assured him that
he would always continue to manifest
his good will and solicitude toward his
Armenian subjects who remained faith
iul to the throne.
Monsignore Bartolomos thanked the
sultan, saying:

Fall will usher in a velvet season.
Velvet frocks, velvet coats and velvet
skirts will be worn by all who can pos
sibly afford them,
Ia fabrics fer evening wear the
clipging stuffs bid fair to have this sea-
son for their own. Crepe de chine is
to be worn not only by "buds," but
by women of all ages.
Cashmere comes back again with a
flourish of trumpets. 1t is woven with
q silk woof, and is exapisitely soft and
shimmering. 1t will be used extern
sively for indoor gowns.
A new material, which has the shim-
mering effect most sought for at pres
ent, is moire velours. Goffered oriental
satin, crinkled silks and silk crepes, all
of them soft and "drapery" like, are
to be extensively worn.
Green, bottle green, hunters green
and even olive green is to be one of the
two faVorite colors this year. 1t shares
the honors with plum color, which is
an evolution from the eminence and

cHAPERoNAGE DESIRABLE
Chaperon May Not Be an Elderly Person
or Married One.

Chaperon May Not Be an Elderly Person
or a Married One.
1t is not regarded as possible to leave
out the mother or married friend, whose
presence imposes no restraint, and who,
by her tact and address and ready sym
pathy, makes o theater party, or a
dance, or any little meeting of girls and
their friends among boys and men,
pass off successfully.
A chaperon need not be a withered old
parsonage who frowns upon amuse-
ment. She would certainly be out of
place if this were her character. She
need not be a tired mother whe feels
herself martyr to her children and
their comrades.
There are mothers who are not tired,
whose health is excellent, whose spir-
it's are not jaded, and who do not wish
to be omitted when the roll call of pleas
ure-seekers is called. But any youth
ful married lady may appropriately
act as chaperon to a group of young
people, as may dignified spinster, still
charming and elegant, though past her
own early youth. And girls father
may chaperon her and prove most de-
lightful when acting in that capacity.
1t is not desirable that picnic parties
and rowing parties and parties for rid
Ing and driving should consist exclusive
ly of the young. Older people joining
them will make them safer and there
fore happier. Accidents sometimes
happen to the best-equipped parties,
and at such times q woman ef expe-
rience and presence OF mind knows pre-
cisely what to do and to say, and where
otherwise there would be awkwardness
she relieves the situation.
Do not be so selfish as to drag the
weary and overworked mother into So
ciety against her will, but let some lady
whom everybody likes and admires act
in the mothers place.-Harper's Round
Table,

SUSAN HATED A COWARD.

dow a Rustic Swain in New Jersey Put
His Rival to Flight.
At the Lander farm, near Bound
Brook, N. j., gay actor from New
York, who called himself Janeway
Jennings, took board for the summer.
He paid arduous court to Miss Sue
Lander, the farmers attractive daugh-
ter, and succeeded in cutting out her
beau" Joshua Lenkert, farmland.
This angered the young man, and he
resolved to make an effort to discom-
fit his rival.
81 may be only a gawky farmer" p"
Joshua said to friend, land 1 don't
dress like that play actor fellow, but
he'll feel sorry he ever came here"
Joshua even went SO far as to purchase
a new suit of clothes at Bound Brook
store, but, although he arrayed him
self in these and new derby hat, Miss
Lander failed to smile upon him as of
old.
While Joshua was milking the cows
Jennings proposed to Susan that she
take a ride with him.
"We"n go over to New Brunswick" D."
he said, land get some good ice cream.
Bound Brook cream isn't good enough
for pretty girl like you"
Lenkert heard the remark and flushed
with anger, but said nothing. After
jennings had harnessed one of Ian
der's horses to a buggy aud driven
away Joshua carried his milk pail to
the house, put a pistol in his pocket,
hurried back to the barn, led out a
horse, sprang on its bare back and
started in pursuit. After a half hours
gallop Joshua came in sight of the
buggy. The vehicle was near New
Brunswick. The hood was down, and
Joshua could not see the occupants of
the buggy. Pressing his horse for
ward until he was able to look in the
buggy, Joshua saw a sight that in
furiated him. Susan's head was on
Jennings shoulder.
Drawing his revolver, Lenkert leaned
over his horse and sent three bullets
through the buggy top.
The actor leaped from the buggy and
fed. Susan sat silent until Joshua
had returned the pistol to his pocket.
Then, with a glance in the direction
the actor had taken, she said:
81 hate coward! Joshua, will you
forgive me?"
Joshua was all forgiveness. Tying
his horse to the back of the buggy the
farmland took the actors place be-
side Susan, and they returned to the
farmhouse. Jennings returned to the
farm, packed his trunk and left for
New York.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

CAR RUN ONCE A MONTH.
Novel street Railway System gRat War
rensburg (Mo.) Boasts OF.

Novel street Railway system gRat War
rensburg (AIo) Boasts or.
In the town of Warrensburg, Mo-, is
street railway system and nearly
three miles of track over which a
street car makes a trip once each month
and not oftener. The road was built
five years ago by NJ, Fairchild Dowd
and Frank Wood, boom=time pro-
moters, and was part of their scheme
to make great summer resort of
Electric Springs. They built big
hotel at the springs and a street car
line TO and through the principal streets
of Warrensburg. Then the collapse
came.
The franchise granted to the street
railway by the town council required
that cars run over the line each month.
So to hold the franchise, an old and
rickety bob-tailed car is run out of the
barn once mapth, and mules are at
tached to 1t to draw 1t over the line,
and then it is put up in the barn to rest
another month.
The roadbed of the line has been so
disturbed by frosts and rains that the
rails are twisted and bent, and the car
jumps the track in going a short dis
tance o great many times. Sometimes
it takes two days to make the round
trip. When the car makes its regular
monthly round the people turn out to
zee it and banter each other about it.
1t is considered rich joke TO induce
travelling salesman or any other
stranger to board the car.-N. Y. Tele.

TOMATO BISOUE.-BOil a mint c

TOMATO BIsQUE.-Boil a pint of
canned tomatoes until soft; then
rub gently through sieve, retain
ing the hard parts, if any. Thicken
a quart of boiling milk with two
teaspoonfuls of cornstarch wet with
cold milk, and cook five minutes.
Add piece of butter the size of a
large egg, cut in bits, teaspoonful
of salt and a little white pepper.
When the milk boils, add the
strained tomato, and serve with hot
toasted crackers.
BAKED BEANs.-One pint of
marrow fat beans, soak over night
in plenty of water. In the morn
ing drain the water off, wash the
beans in clear cold water then put
them in an earthen vessel, one of
those best. Add salt, pepper, a
very little ground dry mustard, a
dessert spoonful Of molasses, and
water to cover the beans well.
Use about two pounds of pork,
slightly salted, lay this on top of
the beans. Bake two hours at least,
longer if you have a moderate oven.
BACON SANDWICHES. Thin
slices of the best bacon, broiled or
cooked in the spider until crisp and
well Drowned, make an excellent
sandwich filling for delicate persons
who do not relish fat in any other
form. Lay the slices while hot
between thin slices of we'll baked
white or brown bread. These sand
wiches will be found very appetiz-
ing. Hard boiled eggs grated and
mixed with little olive oil, salt
and pepper are also wholesome and
excellent if spread on thin slices of
bread.
