grandmother sitting by a sheltered

drop their pennies into her toil-hard-

CARLISLE DINED.
His Health Proposed and Enthusiast
cally Drunk.

New York, Feb. %. - Christopher
Columbus Baldwin, the naval officer of
the port of New York, gave dinner
last night at the Metropolitan club in
honor of the Hon. John G.. Carlisle,
secretary of the treasury. The dinner
was held in what is known as the red
room, and covers were laid for thirty
guests The decorations were in pink
and white. The table at which the
guests were seated was oblong. Mr..
Baldwin presided. On his right sat
Secretary Carlisle and on his left Sena-
tor Villas; directly opposite were seated
Perry Belmont and Frederic r. Cou
dert. 1t was announced that the pro-
ceedings would be perfectly private
and that no speeches would be made.
The only information that could be
obtained as to what took place at the
dinner was that Chairman Baldwin
proposed the health of Secretary Car
Isle when the covers were removed,
and that it was drank with enthusi-
asm. Secretary Carlisle then thanked
those present for the reception given
him. 1t was rumored that invitations
to attend the dinner had been declined
by several prominent New York
bankers. Messrs. Woodward, Flower,
Lanier, Tappan, Mccall and Morgan
were the only prominent bankers pres
ent at last nights dinner.

RELIEF FOR ARMENIA
Description of the Work of DR..
Grace Kimbau at Van.
1900 PERSONS FED IN ONE DAY
More Than 1000 People Employed by
the Industrial Burcau-Untold suffer
ing Relieved-2,SOO Killed and
More Than 10000 Destitute.

New York, Feb. 25.-The following
letter, dated January %, from DR..
Grace kimball, American missionary
at Van, has been received at the Office
of the Christian Herald: LAS soon as
we had the assurance of the first S1O,-
900 from the Christian Herald we pushed
forward the relief with new vigor, and
more commensurately to the present
needs of the people. This involved the
need of larger quarters and we found
very admirably adapted house of
three stories with large halls that will
hold several hundred people and give
convenient Office rooms for the various
epartments-all for the magnificent
sum of $500 month rent. Applicants
for help are required to bring letter
of recommendation from the "district
men of the quarter in which they live,
or from the village ''refugee commit
tee" The demand for work does not
abate and we are adding daily to the
thousand workers in the industrial
bureau at the rate of from ten to
twenty persons, Last weeks pay roll
shows 1910 persons paid in total $445.
The cost of the raw material is slightly
less than the wages 50 that with the
rent and other expenses we may put
the cost of the industrial bureau at
5000 a week. This work furnishes a
living to considerably more than 5000
people"
Distributing 6,O0O Pounds of Bread Daily.
la I,
forging along magnifcently and are
the great famine breakwater to the en-
tire community. There is no other
source of supplies to the people, as the
contributions of the Armenians them
selves were exhausted before the Ar
menian Christmas, and they turned
all their benefciaries over to us. We
are now distributing over 6, 900 pounds
of bread daily, at cost of $3.50 week,
and the demand is constantly increas-
ing. Last Saturday was the Armenian
Christmas, and on the day before 5000
persons were actually provided for
through the different relief depart
ments, and un told suffering relieved" +"
"The Distress Indescribable."
Rev w. Il. Chambers, missionary at
Erzeroum, writes acknowledging re-
ceipt of $1,000 for relief work in that
city and in Erziniian. "In Erzeroum
province over 200 towns and villages
comprising 1000 houses were plum
dered; $500 persons were killed, and
between 10000 and 100000 people left
destitute With the Christian Herald
and other relief moneys, the mission
aries are feeding 1900 persons daily.
/ The distress is indescribable."

AFFAIRS IN NICARAGUA.
Another Uprising Reported as Imminent
in That Country.

Washington, Feb. 25.-According to
news received from San Juan del
Norte, Nicaragua, an uprising is again
imminent in that country. Newspapers
have been suppressed, but reports
brought to San Juan by passengers
from the interior are to the effect that
the city of Leon has declared itself in
favor of Baca against President Zela-
ya, and demands Zelayas resignation.
Zelaya considers himself strong enough
to put down the movement, trusting
for the support of the conservatives
and the friendly government of Hon
duras. He has discharged all citizens
of Leon from his service and demands
of the city the surrender of arms and
full submission. He is endeavoring to
obtain the assistance of ex-President
Zavala of Granada. Great excitement
prevail throughout Nicaragua,
especially as most of the national arms
and ammunition are in Leon. The
latest advices are that Zelaya has de-
clared himself dictator" " and that all
his ministry have left him. At last re-
ports the people of Leon were up in
arms and fight was imminent.

NO DRY DOCK FOR NEWPORT.
Secretary Herbert Says One There Would

Washington, Feb. 22.-Representa-

dressed letter to Secretary Herbert
requesting the views of the navy de-
partment as to the advisability of es-
tablishing dry dock at the Newport,
R. l., naval station. Mr.. Bull has just
received a reply stating that dry
dock at Newport would be very difficult
to defend except by naval force and
until docks are built at a number
of points, much more important to the
general defence of the coast, and the
navy greatly increased, the bureau
does not think it would be wise act
to build dry dock at Newport

were in session four hours yesterday
preparing the naval appropriation
bill While the committee did not
definitely decide as to the number of
battleships or torpedo boats that
should be provided for, it is known
that some of the members insisted
upon. the necessity of six, and that
ii that number could not be agreed
upon at least four should be provided
for. The number of torpedo boats it
was declared, would depend upon tho
decision concerning the construction
of battleships. That is to say, if six
battleships are determined upon the
number of torpedo boats should be les
sened accordingly.
