SCHOOL LIFE IN ARMENIA.

Children Have to Work Harder and Do
9o Not Learn as Rapidly.
There are two classes Of schools In
Armenia, private and public. The pri-
vate schools begin at sunrise and end
at sunset. Each child brings piece
of carpet, which he places on the floor,
and upon which he sits oil day until
sunset, when he carries home again his
square rug. The children supply their
own books, consequently the text
books vary from a bible, prayer book
to newspaper, and when q pupil has
learned all in his own textbook he ex-
changes 1t with another student, and
so on.
As rule, says the Boston Herald, at
the end of the four years course the
children leave school scarcely knowing
how to read. This Is not owing to the
lack of intelligence on the children's
part, but the result Of the defective
system In teaching them.
The public schools are substantially
the snme as those In America, with the
exception that the sexes ore taught In
separate buildings, Religious instruc-
tion Is given in the schools, the church
es deeming it unnecessary to support
Sunday schools. As all the children
are of one faith, there is no religious
conflict. The course of study in the
schools is very hard, because Of the
different languages spoken in the sew
cral sections Of the country. Even the
Russian language Is studied. In summer
the private schools are held out Of

lost Messenger Boy In India Discovered
In an AlligatOr's Throat.
-"0f all the inhabitantsof the great
rivers of India the alligator Is the most
formidable" said Capt. L. e. Ballou, Of
London, England, recently, according
to the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
"While was stationed there several
years ago saw a sight the thought Of
which always causes shudder to creep
over me. A lady near where lived
had sent a little native boy with let
ter to friend at some little distance,
with the request to send back a reply.
Being trustworthy little fellow some
surprise was felt when he did not re-
turn after reasonable absence. After
waiting several hours with no sign OF
the messenger, searching party, OF
which was member, was made up to
try to discover his whereabouts. After
securing the country for some time we
came to the river bank and a short dis
lance away saw dead alligator lying
on the shore with it's great jaws ex-
tended to their utmost. On examining
1t to discover the cause Of so strange
an appearance we found to our horror
that 1t had devoured the missing boy,
and had attempted to swallow his head
whole. This, however, 1t was unable
to do, and had been suffocated in the
attempt. The boys head was still Gov
cred by his turban, which, when re-
moved, disclosed the answer to his mis-.
tress letter, which he was faithfully
bringing back. 1t was supposed that
while attempting to swim the river he
had been seized by the alligator, as
these huge reptiles are very clever In
concealing themselves till their victim
is well within reach, and then pounO
ing on their prey"

Indiana Has Been Abandoned - Iowa Is
Counted a Cinch-Ohio and Illinois.

Chicago, Ill, October M.--Reports
received within the last 49, hours from
scores of points in Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin; Mime
sofa and Iowa Indicate the triumphant
election of w. j, Bryan beyond the
slightest possibility of adoubt In all
of these states O careful9poll has been
taken, and, after making radicaldeduc-
tons from the figures ereported, the
majorities are such that no use of mon
ey ON the part of the republican COR
ruptionists can change the result.
The desperate situation of the repub-
lican organization in Michigan is shown
by the fact that their completed poll of
the state shows q majority Of about
1000 for Mckinley, with $4,000 votes
unaccounted for. AS is now thorough
ly understood no poll taken by the re-
publican managers can be depended
upon. The systematic coercion prac-
ticed upon workmen employed by rail
roads and other large companies
compels these men as matter Of self
protection to declare for Mckinley
whenever questioned as to their politi-
cal preference. In fact, they have been
advised to do this by the democratic
organizations. AS result the show
ing made by republican polls are abso-
lutely worthless, except for purposes Of
! comparison. At the lowest estimate
| Michigan will give 25, 900 majority fol
Mr.. Bryan.

Michigan will give %, 900 majority for
Mr.. Bryan.
INDIANA IS CERTAIN. V Is.
Indiana has been practically 'aban-
doned by the republicans. Ex-Gov-
ernor Flower, who has recently COM.
pleted tour of the state, sadly informed
Mr.. Hanna that the state was lost to
the gold standard, and that Mr.. organs
triumph was only question of MAORI
ties. rs s ..4
The republican managers do not con-
ceal their intention of purchasing the
floating vote, but the assured majority
for the democratic party is too great to
be overcome by the "blocks-of-five"
system Or any other method that poll
tical rascality can devise Or acorruption
fund execute. 85 fv
In Iowa 1900 precincts show gain
Of 33 to the precinct, which will give
Mr.. Bryan a majority of not less than
$4,000 in the state. Gold democrats
have been wiped out of existence, and
the Germans are focking by thousands
to the standard of free silver 1t is
significant that the PERCENTAGE of
changes from Harrison to Bryan main
tain the same ratio as indicated in the
Chicago Records test ballot Iowa is
out of the doubtful column, and can be
counted with absolute certainty for free
silver.

feat Mr. Bryan in Ohio, Z said N. V.

own state, his congressional district,
his county, city and ward, Leo
SITUATION In ILLINOIS.
In Illinois, Bryan win come to Cook
county with a majority OF not less than
10000. From present indications he
will carry Cook county bya goodround
majority, in spite of the fact that the
republicans have unlimited money and
propose to use it oorrupting judges of
elections, and in systematic thuggery
at the polls. Every move thus far
made by the local republicans managers
has proved boomerang. MONDAY

bogus labor leaders and gold orators
were abandoned after weeks trial.
Coercion is a failure. The :.tsound

The use of the American flag as an
Advertising medium for the English
gold standard has aroused the hot in.

iicans would take down their flags if
they dared do So. Many of the leading
merchants Of the city have declared for
free silver. The most eminent preach
ers and lawyers are coming out against
McKinleyism, andif the election were
held today both Bryan and Altgeld
would carry Chicago by safe majority.
The situation is improving every hour,
