Singing ditties as they come.

Crowned is one merry maid
With coronal of poppy;
Nature has with beauty played,
To make faultless copy.
Laughter gathers in her eve,
Her every movement bushes;
Harkl she mocks a lovers sigh
With songs in birdlike gushes.
Cupid, should ne pass her way,
For lack of strength must tarry;
She will steal his bow away
And bid the rogue go marry.

Statements of an Eminent Authority on a

MICHIGAN FOR MCKINLEY.

The Favorite Son Game Reacting in
His Favor.
The report comes from Michigan on ex-
ceptionally good authority that the delega-
ticn from that state to the republican ma
tional convention will be solid for Nc
kinley, and that they will probably go
there Under instructions from the state
convention. One Of the big republican
leaders of that state, who is not committed
to the Ohio candidate and has been under
stood to be favorably disposed toward an
other candidate, communicates the in
formation, after careful investigation of
the situation, that 1T will be almost i'm
possible for any one but Mckinley to get
any one of the delegates. Representative
Corliss is working to get his delegates
from Detroit for Reed, but the announce
ment that he intended to do this was fol-
lowed at once by the organization Of Nc
klnley clubs and the Inauguration of a
very active Mckinley movement in the
two districts mentioned.
The same informant expresses the opin-
ion that the favorite son game has ueen
so far overplayed that it seems to be re-
acting in McKil,ley's favor in some sec
tions. The situation in Nebraska is point
ted out as an example. 1t is stated that
there might have been a division in the
delegation from that state, but that the
declaration of Manderson's candidacy was
so obviously blow aimed at Mckinley
that 1t has excited a strong feeling which
will result in the delegation being in
structed for Mckinley

BOSTON, Mass, February 24.-Following

wife Of an Armenian pastor in Marash.

to Christians in America"
Describing the attack at Marash the
writer SAYS:
Our merciless assailants on the morning
Of that fatal day came upon us like wild
beasts In the place of the good morning
or friendly lips. We heard the shots Of
guns and ravolveIs. Their how do you
90. this morning. was the dread sound Of
axes breaking in the doors. They battered
upon our boxes and closets and took away
or destroyed everything We had in the
world. A fire could not have made a
cleaner sweep. We saved our lives by flee
ing to the house of a Moslem neighbor:
but at evening he drove us out into the
street, and many were slain in the street
by bullet or knife or AK
Several of our friends were stabbed to
death and cut to pieces; some were slain
with one blow of the AK upon the head:
some had their throats cut, as if they had
been sheep in the butchers hands Nv be-
loved brother was shot with two bullets
through the body and then stabbed in the
heart" continues the writer.
My sisters husband was seized by a
murderer. Here is your portion and with
the word he fired a bullet frcm his revolver
irto the poor fellow breast. The victim
fell dead. hut to this day We have not been
able to find his body amid the burnt frag-
ments of his house. Our hornes looked like
the dens of wild beasts. for the fragments
of dead bodies lay everywhere
My husband mad to fee away ana leave

seven days We saw nothing of him. and we
nearly died of hunger and cold. There were
no friends to whose doors / could go and

food for my little ones? Where clothing?
Where bed? Bedding to keep them from

Would that this year, covered with the

Disbelief fn a Departure From the
Salvation Army Ranks.
CHICAGO. February 24.-Those who at
tended the services of the Salvation Army
at the Princess Rink yesterday afternoon
expecting to hear any manifestations OF
interest in the resignation Of Commander
Bailington Booth and the consequences that
might follow went away disappointed.
Everything was as serene among the Chris
tian soldiers as though there had never
been such a thing as a threatened split in
the ranks of the army.
Il have heard scarcely any expression OF
opinion on this subject" Staff Captain
Brown said in reply to a question as to
what effect was being exerted upon the
members Of the army by Commander
Booths resignation. 1T Is needless TO deny
that they are interested, but the fact is
that few really know that the commander
has resigned. They feel that something of
Importance has taken place in New York.
but their loyalty TO the army and their con-
fidence that nothing can affect its future
usefulness is SO great that they are satis-
fled to wait until the whole truth comes
out. There is no thought of secession from
the parent body. You can depend on that.
1t has been and still is the boast of the SAL
walton Army that 1T is all under one flag
and one head. That spirit has grown
stronger and stronger every year since the
army was organized and will make such
movement impossible, even should COM
mander Ballington' Booth lead an attempt
to divide the American army from the other
armies. He has already given evidence OF
his intense loyalty and devotion to the
cause, so there is no use making conjec-
tures.'
'Brigadier General Fielding is expected
back from New York tomorrow. ana he will
probably bring with him important official
Information concerning the changes in tho
army.

LOSSES OF DISTILLED SPIRITS
A Circular Issued by the COmmi.
sfoner of Internal Revenue

A Circular Issued by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue
The commissioner of internal revenue has
issued circular in regard to excessive
losses of distilled spirits in bonded ware
houses, in which he says:
AS the question of excessive leakage de-
pends largely on the circumstances under
which the loss occurs, no fixed rule can be
established in such cases. Any loss which
equals or exceeds fifty per cent of the
original contents of the cask or package,
will, however. be regarded as excessive,
and collectors will, in all such cases, i'm
mediately collect the tax due on the orig
inal contents of such cask or package, less
only the allowance authorized by law
"A smaller loss than that above specified
Will also be regarded as excessive where
the spirits have remained in warehouse
during comparatively short period of time
or where the condition of the warehouse. or
the cooperage of the packages in the ware
mouse, is such as indicates a want Of proper
care on the part of the distiller in prevent
ing unnecessary loss or vantage; or where
tne loss Is of such extent as will materially
Affect the tax security afforded by the lien
imposed by section 3251, Revised Statutes

You have always been an honorable and

glorious news to see one newspaper at

squarely against the foremost criminal aud
traducer of our age. False statements in

Congress that the people of the Pacific

people want the government to let the law
take Its natural course and foreclose.
Fourteen hundred thousand inhabitants of
