Mrs. Warren, the first white child

The promoters Of the Oregon summer
school have formed corporation with
a capital of $4,000, at 81 per share.
The objects Of the association are to ad-
vance the standard and efficiency of
the teachers of the various educational
institutions Of the state Of Oregon.
1t is intended to maintain and con-
duct one or more schools and to provide
lectures and instruction on pedagogics
and the associated sciences.
The total population Of Oregon is
about 378, 900, gain of more than 100
per cent over 1885, and Of IS per cent
over 1890. Between 1880 and 1890
the state increased at the rate of 79. 5S
per cent. Increase has been more
rapid, therefore, between 1885 and
1895, than between 1880 and 1890.
On the other hand, the rate Of increase
, was greater between 1885 and 1890
than between 1890 an 1895. 1t will
never be as large again, because a
greater immigration will bear small
er proportion to the whole. Oregon
gained 294. 65 per cent between 1850
and 1860 because the original popu-
lation was SO small that the immigra.
tion of that era exceeded it. The gain
: of 1S per cent between 1890 and 1895
is just about such as is shown by states
which are growing, but, not receiving
considerable immigration. New York
gained Is per cent between 1880 and
, 1890.

oman's wife, she said: There is moth
ing they can do. They look to God, for
He only can help"
Writing from another inland city,
these same English friends say:
Here one looks to the south, from
the cliffs where we are perched; across
a great upland plain, well watered by
mountain streams and dotted all over
with villages. Most of them were Chris
tian villages, and nearly all have been
burned and destroyed. For days be-
fore the massacre and plumber here at
- the missionaries watched the
flames rising from one village after an
other, as the Kurds and Turks drew
nearer and nearer to this doomed city.
"And what is true of this plain is
true of every plain and hillside in this
part of the country. One does not
know where to begin, and even if one
had millionaire on the relief commit
tee one would hardly know where to
stop.
"Only a short distance from this city
80 women, headed by a noble and very
intelligent woman, well known to the
missionaries, threw themselves into the
river to escape dishonor, and more than
one father played the part of Virginius,
and killed his daughter outright.
"On our journey we passed through
a desolated village by name -. We
passed one large building after another
flor these houses are built like gran
aries or Notifications, very high and
solid, and quite different from those OF
the southern plains), with no sign of
life and all more or less dilapidated.
1T seemed as if we had fallen upon
some recently excavated city of the
past. Of the 100 houses belonging to
this village, the consular report gives
so as having been burned. AS we were
leaving it poor Christian woman sud-
denly appeared from behind building,
where, no doubt, she had hidden on our
approach, and, seeing lady of the par
ty, rushed up to me and took my ex-
tended hand with gesticulations more
eloquent than words. 1t was sad to
leave her, but delay was not possible
at the time. / wonder what her tale
would have been could we have stayed
to listen?
Zone thing is cheering us, even amid
the gloom. 1t is that permission has
been given for those who have, under
fear of death Tor more generally under
fear of the dishonor of wives and daugh-
ters), professed Moslemism, to return
TO the Christian faith, and members are
availing themselves of the privilege.
At -, for example, where there was
not a single professed Christian when
we came through, 100 have now re-
turned to the faith, and so in other
parts"

Horrors That Revolt All Civ

Private letters received by Miss Alice
Stone Blackwell, of Boston, from two
English friends, who have been travel
ing in Armenia, give sad account OF
the general desolation. Writing from
@ large town in the interior, they say:
1--WE received very kind welcome
from the British and French consuls.
The latter was alone here at the time of
the massacre and saved 1900 lives by
opening the consulate buildings to the
Armenians. He also made efforts which
restrained in some degree the tide of
diabolical cruelty and stopped the mas
sacre after three days. His wife and
children were with him in the consulate
and could not be screened from the
most terrible sights and sounds.
eve find things in q terrible state.
There is no mission station nor relief
committee. The two consuls are not
able to grapple with the needed work,
and cannot, of course, do anything
among the women, like the lady mis-
sionaries. The distress is dreadful.
"They say there is not Christian in
the place who has not lost some near
relative, husband or father or brother
or wife, while the sufferings of the poor
abducted women and girls are beyond
words.
1--WE have left a sum of money for the
relief of the utterly destitute women
with whom the city abounds. The wife
of Mr.. IS dragoman and another
Christian woman have undertaken the
investigation of cases for us and will
send their reports to the consul. This
help is, of course, only to carry the
poor creatures through the present dis
tress, and does not deal with the fu-
ture. There is no industry here for
them to turn to, as in some other cities.

The Cow Ate the Ring.

A gold ring that is supposed to have
spent nearly two years in cows stom-
ach was sent the other day to its owner,
a young lady of Homestead, Pa. Two
years ago the young lady was visiting
on a dairy farm near there and while
in the barn picked up kitten and tossed
it in pile of chop and bran. With the
kitten went a gold ring from her finger,
which could not be found, and. was
given up and finally forgotten. Sew,
eral days ago Edward Jones, Suter-
vile butcher, bought a cow from Frank
Hough, the dairyman, and when the
cow was killed the ring, with the
young lady's name engraved on it, was
found in its stomach.

TOOK A WILD RIDE.
Said 70 Be Unparalleled in the His
tory o. tho World.
Gagged Under the Cowcatcher of an En-
CINE william ErrINson Made an
Awful Journey Of Fully
Tbirty-SIx Miles.

This man, William ErriXson, took the
most horrible ride known in all his
tory.
His like does not live in the wide
world
He Travelled for SO miles under the
cowcatoher of an engine, and If he
should live till he is as old as Methu-
selah he will never be able to tell the
terrors of that awful journey.
He is already a hero among the
knights of the road and amarvel to rail
road men. Errixson is only 20 years
old, but he has spent fair share of
that time in tramping from place to
place, travelling by what means he
could, stopping where night overlook
him. His life has been as replete with
incident and adventure as a chapter
out of a dime novel. Beating his way
over hundreds of miles Of territory has
become a second nature to him, and a
trip on brake beam positive luxury.
But ErriXson made himself prophet,
priest and king among the hoboes when
he framed the incredible project of
caging himself up inside cowcatcher
and beating u ride there that should
eclipse all the mad rides of fiction.
1t was thus that he travelled from
Wmnemucca to Wadsworth. He had to
be careful about selecting his locomo-
tive and to find one that had no forward
steam exhaust. A locomotive exhaust
ing steam toward the cowcatcher would
have literally cooked him alive.
ErriXson has some knowledge of To-
comotives, and so was able to pick out
one with only side eXhausts. Inside the
cowcatcher there is only small space,
and he found it necessary to sit upon
timbers which are used for braces for
the frame. Then he was in a half re-
cumbent position, his hands clutchcd
around the cowcatcher bars while the
train was running fast.
Being ahead of tho drivers and ma
chinery, he was jolted terrifically by
what is known as the fall of the To-
connective. Every little depression in
the track permits the dead weight of

Has a Pet RattIesnake.

Fenton B. Briscoe, of 103 North Paca
street, Baltimore, has a rattlesnake
about five feet long which has nine rat
ties. Mr.. Briscoe was spending his va
cation at the home of Mr.. Joseph East
erday, Charlestown, Jefferson county,
W. Va, and while tramping around on
the mountains surrounding the town
he came across the snake, and after a
good deal of trouble and caution he
captured it and brought it home to this
city with him. 1t is quite curiosity to
see the snake kill birds and rats instant
" with it's sting. 1t is beautifully
marked.
