A Maine farmer has recently learned something about the money question that he will never forget. It happened this way: Not having good opinion of banks he kept his money in the barn. In one bag he had $2OO in gold coin, and in another $2OO in silver coin. The barn burned down, as barns do. For the melt ed gold the farmer received $2OO, while for the melted silver the very best he could do was $12O.

cey NJ. Depew Makes Comment.

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-The American
Board of Foreign Missions today re-
ceived a cablegram from a representa-
tive of the International Relief Com
mittee in Constantinople, stating that
an appeal had been received from Bit
lis, Eastern Turkey, in behalf of 1000
orphans and 500 widows, many of
whom were driven from their homes,
where their husbands, fathers and
brothers were killed.
The cablegram also stated that these
people are wandering about the streets
of Bitlis begging for food and cloth
ing. The missionaries here have re-
quested that aid be sent through the
American Board as soon as possible.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew says he is astounded that so
little interest is taken in the Armen-
ian distress by the people of this city.
He went this afternoon to Hoyt's The
alter, where he was to preside at a sale
of boxes for an entertainment to be
given on December 10th in aid of des-
titute Armenians and found just thir-
teen people in the hall, most of whom
were Armenians. 1T was then decided
to postpone the advance sale of seats
indefinitely. This, too, in spite of the
fact that 1000 invitations had been
sent to prominent people in this city
to attend the sale.

fact, It was smaller than the vote he
was conceded by the other candidates
for the nomination.
For city clerk. the nomination OF Mr..
Watkins was considered certain, and
his managers were not surprised nj
the magnitude OF his majority over
Mr.. Leisure. The same Is true OF
Captain Bennett. Although his only
opponent. Mr.. johnson. made an ac-
tive arvuss II was generally conceded
that Bennett would be nominated and
receive the largest majority OF the lot.

given the other contestant for the
chief OF police nomination. There was

places, the count began after the polls
