CiviIization,s Disgrace.

Enthusiastic crowds of people assem-
bled in Liverpool ut an early hour Thurs
day morning in the vicinity of Hengler's
circus, all anxious to push into the build
ing and hear the eagerly anticipated ad-
dress which William Il. Gladstone had
announced his willingness to make be-
fore the meeting called by the Reform
Club to protest against the recent massa-
cres Of Armenians at Constantinople and
elsewhere in Turkey.
After the usual formalities Of opening
such meeting had been concluded, the
first resolution proposed by Conserva-
tive and seconded by Liberal was put.
1t read: "That this meeting desires to
express its Indignation at and adherence
of the cruel treatment to which the
Armenians are being subjected by their
Turkish rulers and of the massacres
which have recently occurred at Constan-
tinople which are disgrace to the civili-
zation of the nineteenth century" This
resolution was adopted by acclamation.
An Ovation to the Speaker.
When Mr.. Gladstone rose to speak he
looked well and hearty for man Of his
years of hard work. He bowed repeated
ly in response to the outburst of cheer
ing which greeted him. When he was
able to make himself heard Mr.. Glad
stone, after n few preliminary remarks,
moved the following resolution, which
was received with thunders of applause,
during which every person present was
upon his or her feet wildly waving hats,
handkerchiefs, sticks or umbrellas:
THAT this meeting trusts that her Ma
jesty's ministers, realizing to the fullest
extent the terrible condition in which
their fellow Christians are placed, will
do everything possible to obtain for them
full security and protection; and this

death. but as he had turned State witness
his sentence was commuted, first to penal
servitude for life and subsequently to ten
years Imprisonment. Chairman Mullett,
another Ipvincible, received ten years.
Life sentences of penal servitude were
meted out to Joe Mullett, Laurence Han
lon and Fitzharris.

in 1882. He was one of those who organ
lied the Invncibles in Dublin and ever
since the revelations consequent on the
Phoenix Park assassinations the authori-
ties had been endeavoring to capture him.
The killing of Lord Cavendish and Mr..
Burke was cold-blooded crime. 1t was
essentially political, as not one of those
counseling or participating in the murders
had the slightest private wrong against
either of the victims. The details were
carefully planned by the Invincibles and
the place selected for the assassination
was Phoenix Park, where Mr.. Burke had
his official residence. 1t has been said
that the intention of the Invincibes was
only to kill Mr.. Burke, but this has been
controverted and the counter assertion
made that Lord Cavendish had also been
marked out for death. Whatever be the
right or wrong of this, the plan of the
conspirators was well laid.
On the afternoon of the fatal day, May
g. car driven by Myles Kavanagh and
carrying four men-Joe Brady. Tim Kel-
ly, Pat Delany and Tom Caffrey-drove
into Phoenix Park. Folio wing the car
was a cab driven by James Fitzharris
and in which were seated Dan Curley,
Michael Pagan and Joe Hanlon. These
latter were armed with revolvers and
their duty was to assist the others should
there be any need of it, In plain view of
the viceroyal lodge the two parties halted
to await the coming of their victim or vic
tins. Not one of either party knew Mr..
Burke by sight and Lord Cavendish had
only arrived in Ireland that day, to be
present at the formal entry of tho new
viceroy of Ireland, Lord Spencer, so that
he, too, was unknown to the conspirators.
This. however, the latter had provided for.
A short distance from them were two
men, James Carey and Joseph Smith
Smith knew Burke, and his part in the
tragedy was to point out Burke to Carey,
whereupon the latter was to signal the
conspirators.

lEADviLLE IN TERROR.
Rioting Strikers Make an Attack on
the Coronado Mine.


Driven to desperation by starvation,
Leadville's locked-out miners, who have
been threatening the peace for tive
months, attacked the Coronado mine with
dynamite and guns ut 1 o'clock Monday
morning, arousing the city, and throwing
its inhabitants into panic. The miners
were organized recently by the Western
Federation Of Miners, and almost every
mine worker was i'm the union when their
demands were made. The miners ask So
n day for all classes of workmen, includ-
ing surface and underground men. The
employers declared, at the beginning of
the trouble, that they were willing tc
continue paying the wages which had
prevailed in Leadville to that time. Un-
der that scale surface workers were paid
only $3.50, and practically the only change
the union proposes is the advance of the
wages Of this class of men to So. The
mine owners have refused to listen to
any proposition from the employees. They
insist the Governor, the courts and the
newspapers are with the miners, and il
would be impossible for them to manage
their own property II they made any con-
cessions. The mine owners explain that
the sheriff holds the key to the situation,
and he Is In league with the strikers.

act, It does not follow that even for the
sake of the great object in view Great
Britain should transplant Europe into a
state Of war. On the other hand, how
ever, deny that England must abandon
her own right to independent judgment
and allow herself 70 be domineered by
the other powers"
Mr.. Gladstone also said: "We have a
just title to threaten Turkey with coer-
cion that does not in itself mean war, and
think that the first step should be the
recall of our ambassador. And 1t should
be followed by the dismissal of the Turk
ish ambassador from London. Such a
course is frequent and would not give
the right Of complaint to anybody. When
diplomatic relations are suspended, En-
gland should inform the Sultan that she
would consider the means of enforcing
her just and humane demands. do not
believe that Europe will make war TO in
sure the continuance of massacres more
terrible than ever recorded in the dis
NAL, deplorable history Of human crime"

DONGOlA is FALLEN.
British Egyptian Eek pedition in Africa
Occupiea the SfrouuhoId

British Egy ptian Eek pedition in Africa
Occupies the stronghold.
Dongola has fallen, and the nominal
objective point of the British-Egyptian
expedition has been reached. The river
forces of the British Egyptian expedition,
pushing up the Nile from El Hafir, land
ed a force at Dongola and occupied that
place before the dervish forces, retreating
from Eel Hafir, reached that point. Ell
Hafr and Dongola are therefore both in
the hands of the expedition, while the
dervish forces are somewhere between,
seeking n refuge.
Saturday afternoon the long-range fir
ing continued between the dervishes on
the west bank of the Nile, and tie expe-
ditionary force on east side. The Maxim
guns, with their sweeping hail of fire, did
great execution in the dervish ranks,
while the field and horse batteries never
allowed the enemy to do anything with
their batteries. After the gunboats of
the expedition had forced their way past
the forts at Eel Hafr and had proceeded
southwark toward Dongola the dervishes
apparently perceived that Eel Ha6r was
no longer the place for them and they
prepared to depart. They buried as
many of their dead as they had time for.
The rest were prepared with stone
around the neck and thrown into the Nile.
AS soon as the news of the evacuation
of FL Hafir was received the correspond
ent of the Associated Press proceeded to
cross the river and make a survey of the
enemy's late position. 1t was found that
their mud defenses had been built with
great care, but the rifle trenches only
permitted the men a very short and
straight front for protection. Mats were
still strewn along and within the trenches,
and in the straw shelters were the re-
mains of the carcasses of sheep, which
had been killed to supply food TO the de-
tenders. The dead had been buried or
thrown into the river.

GENTRY FIXES A NEW MARK.
He PAGES a Mile Within Half a Second
of Two Minutes.

The worlds pacing record stands at
2:00h, and John X. Gentry is king. At
Rigby Park, Portland, Me-, Thursday. in
the face of the light breeze, he made the
mark that is destined to forever make
his name famous among horsemen. There
was only a fair-sized crowd in attend
ance. for the air was biting cold and a
northwesterly breeze blew up the home
stretch. When Gentry was driven on the
track by w. S. Andrews the crowd ap-
plauded vociferously, for it was known
that Andrews intended TO send his PAGER
for all he was worth, and was bent on
lowering the 2:0112 mark which he made
at Glens Falls, n. Y, Sept. 8, in his race
with Star Pointer. Andrews gave Gen
try two warming-up miles, and when the
sun began to hide itself behind the hills
he came down the track for the word A
running horse was at Gentry's head The

to Starter Culbertson for the word. On
the PAGER sped, the crowd cheering on
hearing the shout GO" Hundreds Of
watches were out for the start, and not
one differed in the time taken.

William Jennings Bryan, the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency, spoke
in Baltimore Saturday night to two of
the largest crowds ever present at po-
litical meeting in that city. The first
speech was made in the open air, and con-
servative estimates place the number
who heard 1t at 10000. The second was
held in Music Hall, the largest auditorium
in Baltimore, and the house was packed
until women tainted and many had to be
removed before the speaking could pro-
ceed. Mr.. Bryan reached the platform
about 8 o'clock, and was greeted with a
tremendous cheer from thousands who
gathered there in anticipation of his COM
ing. Just as he barred his head in ac-
knowledgment of the greeting a slight
rain began to fall, which increased 90 n
brisk shower as he proceeded. His voice
was not clear, the strain of the last few
days having evidently told upon it. Pale

secret long after the death of Senator
Fair. Mrs. Craven now claims to be the
lawfully welded wife of the millionaire,
and thus far the evidence she presents in
support of the assertion has withstood all
assaults. In addition to the deeds for a
vast amount of property which she holds,
though counsel for other heirs claim they
are illegal, she asks for her widows share
in the estate of the bonanza king. While
Miss Margaret would inherit nothing di-
rectly from her alleged stepfather, yet as
her mothers heir, she would take a front
rank among American actresses. She Is

fully and steadily as locomotive at high
speed. The first quarter was passed in
29A seconds, and when at the half the
judges gave the time as 59h seconds all
the old horsemen began to look for two

horse applied the whip, and thus by a
great effort succeeded in keeping at the
wheel Of Gentry's sulky. The third
quarter was reeled off in 30A Down the
home-stretch Gentry came like a whirl-
wind. At the turn he got the breeze
right in his teeth. and Andrews shouted
encouragingly at him, while the crowd
fairly howled. Nerved to a supreme eff
fort. Gentry made the last quarter in
even faster time than the third quarter,
doing 1t in 30A seconds, and as he came
under the wire in 2:001a the enthusiasm
of the spectators knew no bounds.

THE WIND HARP.

Across each end of the box and on top
fasten a slat of oak or some other very
hard wood, a quarter of an inch wide.
In one of these stats drive seven fiat
headed tacks equidistant from each
other, and in the other slat fix the same
number of twisting screws, such as are
used on banjos. From these stretch
your strings, which should be all of the
same size and of catgut. The sc" gui-
tar string will be found the best for this
purpose. Now tune all the strings in
unison, and the harp is completed. 1t
is, however, well to add reflector TO
throw out the sound. This Is easily ac-
complished by placing u thin board
above the box, supporting it on sticks
fitting into rests, which are glued in
the corners Of the box. The reflector
also answers as a shield to prevent in
jury to the harp.
Place the harp in current of air, as
upon the sill of a half open widow. The
sound produced by the wind passing
over the strings as it rises and falls is
of drowsy, lulling character and ex-
tremely melodious.-N. Y. Recorder.

Budding womanhood ripens into
marriage hereabouts, in spite of hard

ial solemnity. But the divorce mill
is also grinding at the county seat,
and the ceremonial assumes decorum

are no longer one flesh, and single
bliss again crowns the once happy
pair. Marriage and divorce often
make people happy twice.
G.. w. Howell of Van Camp has
retired from active business. We
have never yet heard him called ''the
old man," but such he is, since he
will be IA years old next September.
He has always been known by the
familiar name of George He was
always a true and safe man, and up
right and honest in his business.
The people always had implicit con-
fidence in him. Thus we speak in
truth for an old man.
Nathan .Driesbach, also of Van
Camp, is uearing his four score wears.
He is generally well and active for a
man of his years. yet looking over
the prospect of the community, a few
years more will note a great change
in the personal of our community.
Rev. Houtz of Orangevill, we may
consistently class as Van Camp cit
izen, from the fact that he is identified
in pastoral relation with the Van
Camp people, and noting the fact
that twenty-seven years ago he came
here when but young man; he now
also takes his place among the vener-
able and gray headed from the frosts
OF many winters. The fact that he is
a citizen among us so long speaks
volumes more of his noble worth thar
words or pen can portray.
