buying IL was rich, and they put the price
up 60 $40 or 500 an acre. The agents
kept right on buying until Mr.. Corbin had

Lewis is now with the New York Journal

efforts to islduce ex-President Harrison to
come TO st. Lous and write about tho con-
vention for The Journal.
i "We had already secured John j. In
gals, General Lew Wallace, Henry George
and Murat Halstead," said Mr.. Lewis,
"and IL occurred TO me that it wouldn't &
be bad idea TO add Benjamin Harrison
TO our galaxy of reportorial stars. He
wrote a number of things while in the
White House which showed a talent for
observation and correct relation.
"When mentioned this TO Mr.. Cham
bcrlain, our managing editor, he almost
rad fit, so pleased was he with the sug-
gestlon. Then went in TO Mr.. Hearst with
It. Nothing cxcites him, nor to him is
anything impossible. He looked at me
coldly. Get him., was all Mr.. Hearst
said.
II Immediately telegraphed the ex-presi-
dent at indianapolis, offering him $40, 900
TO attend the convention and write for
The Journal not less than 100 words each
day during its sessions, and also assuring g
him that his matter would go on the first

CAN READ ONLY THE BIBLE.
Old John Bradshaw Says It's the Lords
Command.

Tho Dover (Del. Index contains the fol.
loving: John Bradshaw of Alarydel, a re.
markse.e c0 man, is spending few days
In Dover. u, ,ic 90 years old and was n
slave until he arrived at his twenty first
birthday. He was seen by n Dover scribe
on Wednesday and said he never attended
school In his llfe--did not know the letters
Of the alphabet until about four years ago,
when revelation came 10 him, and the
Lord told him TO read the Bible to every
body.
Although Bradshaw cannot read news
papers or books he is able 20 read the Bible
correctly, rapidly and with ease. The
most remarkable thing about this old
mans gift is his ability to pronounce the
Bible names correctly. He recited the first
five chapters, 2l3 verses of the gospel OF
SO. John with ease. The writer held tho
Bible over the old man, and the feat was
done without an error. He will probably
give n public exhibition In Whatcoat Meth

THE TURKISH ATROCITIES.
How Four Thousand People Were Inhu-
manly piassacred In a Church.


The Baltimore Sun recently published
the following interesting letter from its
correspondent at Alersina, Asia Minor:
A private letter from missionary who
is at present in Oorfa that Is before me as
i write explains what has hitherto been a
nero njoctUYe-namoly, as 20 how the
Turkish soldiers succeeded in burning
these 4 900 victims in the church
This missionary, who has made careful
investigation on the spot, explains that a
gallery extends around three sides of this
church, and from here "A great quantity of
petroleum was poured upon these defense
less men, women and children, who were
jamned together on the floor below. Num-
bers of them had been butchercd before this
was done and the 30 o. 60 who escaped TO
the roof were overtaken and tossed into the
flames.
1t seems that after the petroleum had
been poured down upon them from the
galleries lighted torches were thrown
among them. Is it possible to conceive Of
enything more diabolical?
Among those who thus perished were
eyed men and women, mothers with babies
at their breasts, i'll persons just taken from
their beds and hundreds of boys and girls.
The church building where this occur
red, which has been used for many years
as n place of worship by the Armenians,
has been converted by these murlerous
Turks into Mohammedan mosque, where
prayers are now daily offered to the prophet
Mohammed.

HAD SECRETARY MORTON SCARED.
Threats In San Francisco Caused Him tn
Hire N Bodyguard.


Since bis return to tho capital from the
Pacific coast Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ton has been regaling his Washington
friends with stories of his narrow escape
from assassination by silver cranks in San
Francisco.
But it is safe to say he Is not telling all
the incidents of his visit. including the
employment of bodyguard To protect
him and the employment of n force of de-
tectives TO hunt down the men who sent
him the repeated warnings.
The secretary arrived in San Francisco
May 12, and that night submitted TO a
long interview, in which he denounced sill
yer. The next afternoon he received an
anonymous letter signed "Nativo Son."
containing this warning:
No goldbugs are wanted in California. Get
out of the state CT else have your brains shot
out. Get back TO Washington and remain with
the other traitors--Grover the plutocrat, and
Sherman the minion Of Ghylock. Get away
from here as fast steam viii carry you'll
Our people are starving on the gold standard.
We propose to XIII all such Villains as You
ezd make room for honest men at government.
Get out of California Immediately and go back
to Wall street, you thief, robber, traitor, i'm
postor and villain oombinedi
=. S.-Fair warning
This was followed by similar warnings,
and Morton's stay in the Golden Gate me-
tropolis was cut short. While in California
he was accompanied by a bodyguard of
police at all times, and since his departure
detectives have tried in vain to run down
the writer's of the letters. While Califor-
mans are loath to believe the secretary
was in any danger, he did not view the
threats in that light and soon returned to
Washington. New York World.
