HE STRUCK THE RIGHT CAR.
One Visiting Old Soldier Makes a
Good Joke.

On account of a large number of
strangers in Topeka at present who
have never been in the city before and
know nothing of the streets or loca-
lions, many amusing incidents occur
on the streets daily.
Last night visiting old soldiers hailed
a West Sixth street car at Harrison
street and after a run of about a half
a block boarded the rear platform of
the car which was heavily loaded.
Where does this cOnsarned thing go
to?" he asked between gasps.
This car goes to the insane asy-
Ilm,'' replied a man on the platform
1T does, Ell? Then I guess I'm on
the right car, comrade. I'm just plumb
crazy already"

Admire Bovs &C. Quarters.

When the Admire band arrived in
town and went to Camp Miles yester-
day afternoon they went like all other
delegations do to headquarters to find
out where their quarters were. Tents
had been reserved for them and they
went to them, but they were occupied.
At least they were full of goods. But
a band is of more Importance in trOub
lOus times like these than people, so
the whole of the equipment was set
out in the middle of the street and the
band bows moved in.

They Occurred Throughout the Con-
tinent on May Day.
LONDON, May 1.-Advices received
here from cities and towns throughout
the continent of Europe show that
there have been small socialist and
labor meetings incident TO May day,
but there has been little suspension Of
work in spite of the apprehensions
which have been felt that the day
would be characterized by widespread
labor disturbances. There has been
no disorder whatever except at Vienna
and Bilboa
In Vienna all work was suspended
and meetings of laborers were held in
every quarter of the city, and were
largely ATTENDED. These meetings adop-
ted resolutions in favor OF universal
suffrage AT 2 o'clock in the after
neon enormous crowds proceeded along
the Ringstrasse to the Prai.er, where the
cafes and restaurants were crammed
full of people. The numbers were es-
tirnaIted at 80, 000 people. Notwithstand-
ing this vast concourSe all was quiet
till a dispute arose in the evening be-
tween some Bohemian workmen and
the landlord Of the big Sweboda res
taurant The workmen became infu-
RATED and smashed everything in his
restaurant. A fierce fight ensued with
the mounted police. Numbers of per-
sons, including women and children,
were seriously wounded by sabres, and
the hand of one person was cut off.
Many of the police were also badly in
jured, including three inspectors, by
stones, beer jugs and whatever else
the rioters could lay hold or use as
missiles. The military was summoned
by telephone and two squadrons of
lancers with drawn sabres galloped to
the Prater, followed by four battal-
ions of infantry, who fastened to tine
scene at double quick with fixed bay
onets. Intense excitement was caused
throughout the city by the rioting, and
by vague fears of a widespread out
break. Fifty arrests were made and
ninety persons injured were taken 20
the hospital, while large numbers of
those who were hurt were carried to
their homes by friends. Order was re-
stored to the city by 8 o'clock in the
evening.
AT Bilboa 100 miners from GalIarsa
and Arboleda districts struck and be-
came riotous so that the gen d'armes
were obliged to fire upon them to sup

FEELING OF SURVIVORS.
Statement of the Armenian; Relief
Committee HOrrifying in fhe Ex-
IRENE.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The National
Armenian relief committee has re-
ceived a document from Turkey show
ing the feeling of many of the surviv-
ors of the Armenian massacres. It
says:
1T is now more than five months
that sword, fire. famine and cold have
been doing their fearful work among
us. Not less than 100000 Of our people.
largely men, and from influential and
productive classes, have fallen victims
to the fury of our prosecutors. More
than $4,000 have, under threats Of in
slant death. professed Islam. Thou
sands of otlr sisters and daughters
have been violently carried off to the
harems of the Turks and Kurds.
Not less than 5000 of our principal
men. including many Gregorian priests
and Protestant pastors and teachers,
are Ianguishing in Turkish dungeons,
arrested on utterly baseless charges
and giving no opportunity to vindicate
themselves. A very large part of our
property has been stolen or destroyed,
and all our business is paralyZed so
that the property we still own is large
" worthless"
1t is then shown that though mas
sacre and open plumber have been for
hidden. no Thought of security can be
entertained.
Regarding the future the message
says:
Three possible courses of action are
open to US. First, we can surrender all
that our fathers have chung to during
their many years of oppression and
sufferings; we can abandon our faith
profess Islam and lose ourselves and
our children in the mass of Moslem
masters; or, second, we can go on pa
tiently dragging the chains of our Op
pressors and bearing their insults and
abuses, wasting away our lives and our
strength in ignoble servttude; or. third,
we can seek in other lands new homes
and hope"
After reciting the terrors attending
the first two alternatives the document
says of the third:
"Only two things we need to know:
First, will our sultan permit-,us to emf
CRATE? Second, viii the Christian ma
lions who have been witnesses Of our
sufferings grant US an asylum in their
borders and give US aid in our time of
distress?"
