WASHINGTON, April u = The
Turkish legation has received from the
sublime porte. under yesterdays date,
the following cablegram:
ut has been falsely stated that the
missionaries would be expelled. The
Imperial government has not taken and
does not Intend to take any general
measure OF expulsion of missionaries
and Catholic priests. Those among
them who attend peacefully to their
business are not, and will not be. dis
tnrbed. But, surely, 1t cannot be the
same for those who BY their attitude
try to disturb the order and tranquility
OF the country and place themselves In
opcn hostility TO the laws and regula-
tions in force In the empire. The i'm
perinl government, watchful OF the
maintenance OF public security, has the
duty 10 send them away from Its terri
tory, and in so doing nvuils Itself OF a
right which in all Justice nobody could
contest"

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 13.-7Judge
J.H. D. Stevens, Of st. Louis, chairman
Of the national executive committee Of
the A. P. A, passed through Cincinnati
tonight on his way to Boston.
Regarding the fight that the q. ?. A.
is making against Mckinley, Judge
Stevens said:
att Is true that the A. P. A. will not
give to Major Mckinley its support,
either for the nomination or for the
election In November. should he be
nominated. His record is such that no
A, p, A. member who Is true 10 his
principles and who has not been weaned
away from the association by promises
OF an office, can support It. Mr.; Nc
Klnley has never recognized this or
ganization."
Judge Stevens then enumerates vart-
Gus grievances against MCKINLEY.
among them the neglect Of mcktniey,s 8
managers to grant an A. p. A. commit
tee an audience in Washington on the
25th to the S0th OF last March and the
fact that Mckinley himself left unan-
swered telegrams sent by the commit
tee to him. On the other hand MeAin-
ley's rivals granted the committee an
audience on the first offer, whereas NC
Kinley and his managerss refused re-
quests for an audience, though the OPP
portunity was given for two consecu-
tive weeks by committees in Washing-
ton and New York. Judge Stevens
says Hon. W. A. Linton Is the A. 2. A.
candidate In conclusion he says:
you may say for US that we are
against Mckinley to the last. We
shall support only a positive selt-as-
sertive man who Is no straddler on any
issue and is a man Of more than one
idea. From the knowledge possess Of
our strength know tnat the A: 2. a.

AT A WIDOWS WEDDING.
Etiquette Which Governs This Highly
Momentous Event.

Etiquette Which Governs This Highly
Momentous Event.
Etiquette governing the wedding of a
widow has been recently reorganized and
temporarily, at least, is finding high
vogue among certain great ladies who
are making second matrimonial ven
lures. The widows engagement ring
Is now peridot, which in reality is an
Indian chrysolite, and a deep leaf-green
in color. The peridot ring is set about
with diamonds, and when 1t arrives the
lady gives her first engagement ring to
her eldest daughter and her wedding
ring to her eldest son.
One week before the wedding state
ly luncheon is given to the nearest and
dearest of the old friends of the bride to
be. After the engagements announce
ment she appears at no public func-
tions. AT the altar her dress may be Of
any subdued shade of satin. To make
up for the absence of veil and orange
blossoms, profusions of white lace trim
the skirt and waist of the bridal gown
en- secondes noces. Even the bonnet is
of white lace and the bouquet is prefer
ably of white orchids. And up the aisle
the lady goes, hand in hand with her
youngest child, no matter whether it is
boy Or girl. The little one wears an
elaborate white costume, holds the
brides bouquet, and precedes the newly
married pair to the church door. Where
there is large family of children and
desire on the Widows part for a trifle
more display than is usually accorded
on such occasions, all of her daughters,
in light gowns and bearing big
bouquets, support their mother to the
altar.
An informal little breakfast now fol-
lows the ceremony. Such breakfast
is scarcely more than light, simple
luncheon, served from the buffet, t,wound
up by wedding cake and toasting
posset, but the bride of a second mar
riage does not distribute cake nor her
bouquet among her friends. Her car,
riage horses do not wear favors, either,
though shoes and ice can be freely scat
tered in her wake: and, to the comfort
and economy of her friends, she does not
expect anything elaborate in the way
of wedding giftS.-N. Y. Sun.

The dealers in upholstery hardware
are frequently asked for some scheme
to steady a picture on wall, especially
small pictures. A housemaid with a
duster is everlastingly setting askew
small pictures, and the average room,
after dusting, looks sadly awry. All
sorts of picture hooks have been in
vented which are supposed to so grip
the picture cord that it will always
hold the picture evenly on the wall.
Then, again, corner clamps have been
brought out, one for each corner of the
picture, the clamps being driven into
the wall-but everything of that sort
has some objection. The simplest and
most infallible way of holding picture
immovable is by making small gimlet
hole in the extreme lower point of the
inside of the frame, where it touches
the wall, and at this point drive a small
brad into the wall, leaving about half
an inch protruding. The hole In the
frame caps this brad like a socket, and
the ordinary dusting of the pictures
does not move 1t in the least.-Chicago
Tribune.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Washington is noted for the beauty
of the trees which line her sidewalks,
and the reason lies in the fact that for
many years past she has made the care
of them municipal duty.
Boston has solved the tramp prob
lem by requiring the "Weary Willies"
to work for everything they receive at
the Wayfarers' lodge, and indignant
men of leisure are boycotting the place.
The latest fashionable ailment in
New York is ammonia colds" Accord
ing to the doctors who do business with
the 400" they are caused by overindul-
gence in artificial ice rinl1s. The "shop-
ping face" the "golf straddle" and the
"bicycle hump" are not in 1t with this
latest affliction.
Mini Novgorod, in Russia, was al
most obliterated by fire in 1864. All the
buildings and bazars In which were
held the annual fair of merchants from
all parts of Europe and Asia were blot
ted out, and that year most of the trad
ing was done in tents or temporary
structures.
Of every 1000 clergymen between
the ages Of As and 65 only 1898 die an
nually, but of every 1000 doctors be-
tween the ages of As and 65 no fewer
than 2s.O3, 1t Is said, die every year.
Some statisticians attribute the high
rate of mortality among medical men
to the harassing nature of their duties.
Last June James Bridgeford lost
his fine SIS gold watch while plowing
on his farm near Kelso, Wash. He
hunted the land over at different times,
drawing harrows and even forking most
Of it over, but never could find the
watch. The other day George Mcclellan
came through the field and picked the
watch up.
"A Frenchman named Viuon has In
vented a novel method of sealing cham

M. Villon accomplishes this by covering
the cork and part of the neck with a
thin layer Of copper electrically de-

On a fair morn O. May,
stoop to touch you softly as pass
Along the common way.
Thinking Of one blue-sky and white-cloud
day
When, free from vexing care,
] pulled and curled your stems In childish
play.
And wove them in my hair;
Or breathed across your phantom seed
sphere there
With wonder and delight
To see you, spirlt-like, rise In the air
And vanish out Of sight;
Believing while watched your shining
flight,
The breeding, blessed Power,
Mysterious and silent as the light,
Would bring you back, a flower.
All, sweet child-trust that bides through
sun and shower.
In wisdom all unskilled;
After long storms will come fateful hour
When 1t shall be fulfilled.
Hopes winged seeds, through all the years
unchilled,
Bloom in the wayside grass,
strangely thrilled
We bless 1t as we pass.
