NATCHEz, Miss, Oct. 24.-The steam
er T. p. Leathers, loaded with l,7OO
bales OF cotton, 1900 sacks of cotton
seed and lot Of cotton seed oil, sprung
leak and sank three miles above
here. The boat was run against the
bank at Palo Alto point and lies in
IS feet of water Tugs rescued the
passengers and brought them to
Natchez. The cause of the trouble,
according to Capt. Leathers, was
that the steamers decking opened
up near the hull and left in the water
faster than the pumps could handle it.
From present indications the boat will
be total loss but most of the cargo
will be saved. The Lesthers was val

The Remains Of Ex-speaker Crisp Con.

terry, Americus. Ga.
MACON, Ga, Oct. 26.-The remains OF
ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp were in.
TERED in Oak Grove cemetery in Amer
icus Sunday afternoon at twilight.
The funeral train bearing the body
of Georgia's dead statesman left At
lanta at 1880 a. M, arriving at
Americus, his home, at 2 p. m. The
casket placed in special car, un-
der a guard of honor, had full glass
front, so that his familiar face and
form could be viewed by those who
loved and honored him in life and now
rever his memory in death. The
massive casket was enshrined in the
silken folds of United States flag,
while floral tributes of love covered
the walls of the car and were piled in
every available space. In the same
car, In closed apartment, were mem.
bers of the family At stations along
the route people thronged by thou
sands and were permitted to take
a last look at their departed
friend. The remains were accom-
panied by Gov. Atkinson and
staff, delegations from Atlanta and
other cities of the state, members of
the Georgia bar association, Hon. Hoke
Smith. ex-secretary of interior; ex-Sen.
ator Walsh, of Augusta; Congressman
Charles l.. Bartlett and j. c. c. Black,
ex-Congressman Barnes, military es-
cort of commissioned officers of the
Fifth Georgia regiment, and several
hundred citizens, contributed by the
towns wherever the train stopped.
When the train arrived at Americus
the entire population of the city had
gathered at the depot.
The casket was conveyed from the
special car to the hearse, which was
drawn by four black horses, each led
by a sable groom.
The Americus Light Infantry and a
delegation of 40 citizens preceded the
hearse, and the procession started to
the Methodist church. The buildings
along the line of march were draped in
mourning.
At $3.50 p. m. the funeral service be-
gan. Gen. Clement A. Evans delivered
funeral Grafton. At the conclusion
the choir sang "Asleep in Jesus"
The remains were then conveyed to
the cemetery. The procession passed
by the house in which the Crisp family
dwelt years ago. Friends had placed
large arch over the gateway, on
which were these words: "His Old
Home" Arriving at Oak Grove, the
militia stood at present arms. The
remains were carried to the family
lot. A prayer was read by Gen. Evans
and the body Of the dead statesman
was lowered into the grave to sleep be-
meath the sod of Georgia soil, under
southern skies in the city he loved and
the section he served. 1t was deep
twilight when their act of sorrowful
duty was performed, which added to
the gloom of the occasion.

Among recent visitors to Rome was an
American Clergyman named Paxton. He
acoosted an Engllshman at hotel and ex-
planned to him not only the colossal great
ness Of the United States but also the Pc
ouliar distinction Of the Rev. Mr.. Paxton.
He said that some OF the most noted men
in America had been membors OF his con
gregation, and no mentioned some names
Of famous millionaires. The Englishman
remarked that Mr.. Paxton seemed to have
a great attraction for notorious thieves,
and the clergyman smilingly admitted
that some OF those notable men were lit
tic warm. Subsequently tho English
man learned from some other Americans
that all the statements of the Rev. hr.
Paxton about himself were accurate, but
that lie was suspected in America of hay-
ing become worldly. "-Galignani Mes

company. A great deal Of fuel had beer
lost from time to time, so when the culprit
was arrested, the company was so anxious
to make an example Of him that it ON
ployed special counsel and prosecuted the
case vigorously. The evidence against the
old man was convincing. He had been
seen sneaking around the wood pile and
was arrested while carrying off a load.
Il had subppnaed abodt 20 well known
business men to testify TO the previous
good character of the defendant. When
the prosecutions case was closed, put
one on the stand and asked:

and called another. He testified as the

Thirty years ago was living in st.

homo when his master was about to leave
London.
It was reported to me that Jimmie al
ways left my house after breakfast At
first some alarm was felt that he would
stray, but as he invariably returned after
an hours stroll 1 took him to be one Of
those "vagrom" animals who cannot live
without a prowl in the streets and felt
no anxiety. But ascertained that when

something edible with him. I watched
him one or two mornings and sew him

occasion carrying big bone, which 10 had

THE CRY OF ARMENIA
DR.. TALMAeE RELATES THE HORRORS
or The MASSACRE.

The Turk Places No vaiae on the Life Of
q Christiau-Heroie work Of Mission
aries-Duty of the Nations to stop Per-
seeution-C hristendom's Apathy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-It was appro-
pirate that In the presence Of the chief
men Of this nation and other nations DR..
Talmaga should tell the story of Armenian
massacre. What will be The extent or
good Of such discourse none Gun tell.
The text was II Kings xix, 81, "They es-
capped into the land Of Armenia"
In Bible geography this is the first time
that Armenia appears, called then by the
same name as now. Armenia is chiefly
tableland, 1000 feet above the level Of the
sea, and on one of its peaks Noah's ark
landed, with its human family and fauna
that were TO I'LL the earth. That region
was the birthplace of the rivers which fer
tilted the garden Of Eden when Adam
and Eve lived there, their only roof the
crystal skies and their carpet the emerald
Of rich grass. ITS Inhabitants, tho ethnOl-
ogists tell us, are a superior type Of the
Caucasian race. Their religion is founded
on the Bible Their Saviour is our Christ.
Their crime is that they will not become
followers of MOhammed, that Jupiter of
sensuality. To drive them from tho face
of the earth is the ambition Of all Moham-
medans. To accomplish this murder is no
crime and wholesale massacre is a mattor
of enthusiastic appreciation and govern
mental reward.
The prayer sanctioned by highest Mo-
hammodan authority and reoited every
day throughout Turkey and Egypt, while
styling all those not Mohammedans as in
1dels is as follows; 20 Lord of all crea-
lures o Allah, destroy the inndels and
thine enemios, tho enemies Of
the religionl 0 Allah, mako their chill
dren orphans and defilo their bodies
Cause their feet to slip, give them and
their families, their households and their
women, their children and their relatives
by marriage, their brothers and their
friends, their possessions and the race,
their wealth and their lands as booty to
the Moslems, 0 Lord Of all creaturosr'
