A Pretty Thought to sweet Music.

MIR John Baseler has given happy ex-
pression in music to the poem "lmmor-

in character, and the harmony both classi-
cal and pleasing. The thought expressed
nv Mr.. Calisch's poem, while not en-
tirely new. Ia very beautiful, and the
collaboration of author and composer has
produced a song of decided merit. 1t is

was then learned that he had succumbed
to the destinations of Paris and spent
long period there incognito.
The newspapers published this story
very generally, and the paragraphers
made humorous comments on Hadji
Hassan's long name and his mysterious
disappearance from public view. These
things offended the Minister greatly. He
was also chagrined over the attention at
tracte0 by his peculiar dress and appear
ance. He wrote to the Secretary of State
complaining of these matters and with
drew with his suite, returning to Persia.
The reverence associated with the person
of the Shah is well illustrated in the treaty
of friendship and commerce which Hon.
Carroll Spence, United States Minister,
made with Persia in 1856. In the preamble
the late Shah is described with true orlen-
tai hyperbole in this language: "The Pres
ident of the United States of North
America and his Majesty as exalted
as the planet Saturn, the sovereign to
whom the sun serves az standard; whose
splendor and magnifcence are equal to
that of the Skies the sublime sovereign,
the monarch whose armies are as numer-
Gus as the stars whose greatness calls to
mind that of 'Jeinshid; whose magniti-
cence equals that of Darius; the heir OF
the crown and throne of the Kayanians |;
the sublime Emperor of all Persia

ing Relief.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 1.-The fol-
lowing report of relief work at Oorfa has
Just been received by the National Arme-
nian Relief Committee:
0ORFA, TURKEY, March %, 1896.-The
hospital which we have opened is in a
house of five rooms that have been newly
built with good carpentry, glass windows,
etc. 1t was completely wrecked, every
room battered and blood-bespattered ard
all the inmates were killed. Our patients
are doing well But only small part OF
those who apply can be received.
From our distributing house over 5000
articles, such as dishes and pieces of cloth
ing, have been given out. Our committee
this week learned of a family of forty
members, belonging to seven brothers,
of which every member was wiped out.
1t is simply terrible to listen to the ac-
counts of the massacres; what must it
have been to witness them?
The faces of the women, with their help
less little ones, tell volumes. Many have
no more tears to shed; are calm, but their
sorrow has a depth which God grant we
may never know. The hardest of all is 10
refuse work for the many women who beg
for it. We can only employ about 300
making cloth In our industrial department.
The number killed here has been given
too few, in the desire of not overstatine.
1t is now clear that 1000 if not 5000 were
killed in Oorfa

HAMMOKD'S FAILING HEALTH

Enaineer

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, May L.
Advices from Pretoria show that the inter-
dict upon the property of the members of
the Johannesburg Reform Committee has
been removed except in the cases of Mir.
Leonard and DR.. Wolff. The health of
John Hays Hammond, the American, who
was sentenced to death, continues to cause
uneasiness.
The Boer Progressist party appears to be
unanimously in favor of leniency toward
the prisoners. They consider that banish-
ment and small fine would be sufficient
punishment.
Judge Gregorowski, who sentenced the
prisoners, was hooted upon his arrival at
Bloemfontain on his return from the
Transvaal.
BLOEMFONTAIN, ORANGE FREE STATE,
May 1.-The Volksraad to-day debated a
motion to modify the extradition treaty
with the British South Africa Company.
1t was contended that the company could
no longer be regarded as a civilized Gov
eminent.
The President advised the abrogation of
all treaties with the company, which he
declared constituted a danger to South
Africa.
The motion was eventually ruled out OF
order and was Withdrawn, it being shown
that the treaty had been concluded with
the British High Commissioner in South
Africa and not with the British South
Africa Com pany.

THREE ATTEMPTS At SUICIDE.
After Quarrel With Her Lover Clara
6urnham Tried in Vain to End
Her Life.

SOMERVILLE, N. j., May L. Clara
Burnham 27years of age, tried to kill her
self for the third time last evening. She
quarreled with her lover on Monday night,
and on Tuesday morning took a dose of
laudanum. Her mother discovered the
fact in time to save her life. When she re-
covered from the effects of the drug she
appeared to be penitent, but on Tuesday
night she secured her father revolver and
shot herself in the breast. The bullet
struck against one of her ribs ana did not
make serious wound.
When her second attempt failed her
parents locked her up in an empty room,
and brother was kept at the entrance of
the door to guard her from escaping. Last
evening she applied a match to her cloth
ing, and in a short time was ablaze. Her
brother opened the door and put out the
flames, but not before she was badly burned.
She is in critical condition, and may not
recover.
Her parents refuse to talk about her at
tempts to end her life, and will not tell the
name of her lover or the canse of the
~ ~ hetween them.
