ErrinE Minister Sees the Girl He

Loved for One Brief Moment.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE Lord saves! He

Uttered with fervence, these words rang
from the lips of a young woman at Saliva
tion Army nesting in Willard hall last Tueo-
day noon. AS she spoke her eyes wandered
over the little sea of heads bowling in prayer.
At the sound of her voice one of the heads
turned involuntarily toward her. A man with
e pallid face started as though to rise. The
eyes OF the two met for moment and there
was a flash of recognition. Then the man
recovered control Of himself He resumed
his seat and through to the end Of the serv
ice sat with bowed head and shamefaced
mien. Few in the audience saw the little
scene. The two were the principals in the
notorious Overman- Brown church trial in San
Francisco, Rev. Charles o. Brown and Miss
Matte 0verman.
At the close of the trial Miss Oyerman
went among the Christian workers and
Joined the army. Henceforth she will be
known as Sister Martha. 1t was while on
her way to Washington, d. c.. where she
goes to assist Mrs. Emily Waller Barrett
in rescue work, that Sister Martha hap
pened into Willard hall. When the meeting
was over she went out and went straight
to the Anchorage mission, there to address
an audience OF young women. Rev. Mr..
Brown, when the meeting was over, went
his own way and that brief glance during
the services was their only meeting What
the clergyman was doing in Chicago no one
seems to know. Shortly after the trial he
left San Francisco and drifted east to be
lost sight OF until his dramatic meeting
with the woman whose name was once
linked with his own.
DR.. Brown, formerly of San Francisco,
but now residing in this city, gave the
following statement to the Associated press

TURKEY DEMANDS AN APOLOGY.
sultan Calls Cleveland TO Account for
Unfricndly Uttcrnnccs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-A special from
Washington to the World, says: President
Cleveland has been called to account by the
sultan of Turkey. An emphatic protest was
made yesterday by the Turkish government
against the language used in the president s
message to congress respecting the maesa-
cres OF Armenians and the general conduct
OF the government toward the Christians In
the empire. The situation Is said to threaten
the rupture OF the diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Turkey. Mus
tapha Bey, the Turkish minister. It is
rumored at the State department, has inti-
mated that II some amends are not made by
the president he will be obliged to ask for
his papers and will return to Constantinople.
The deep displeasure OF the sultan was made
known to Secretary olney on Thursday by
Mustapha Bey In accordance with cable
gram received by him on Wednesday from his
home government. The interview between
the minister and secretary OF state is de-
scribed as exceedingly interesting and some
what exciting. Mustapha Bey began by
stating that his government had instructed
him to make an emphatic protest against
the harsh and unjust language used by the
president In his public utterances concern
ing a power with which the United States
sustained friendly diplomatic relations"
This was accusing President Cleveland Of
a diplomatic dscourtesy. but the minister
made 1t still more serious by stating the
sultan regarded President Cleveands mes
sage as the argument Of an advocate in that
he presented only one side of the case al
though he possessed complete information
regarding the ether. or Turkish side, which
had been officially communicated to him.
The minister also called attention to var-
Gus grievances that his government enter
tains against citizens of the United States.
He said that they had libeled the sultan
and abused the Turkish government and had
been allowed to do so unreprmanded by the
president, although some of them were pub
lie officials. Complaints were also made
against American missionaries in Turkey,
who were charged with melting the Ar
menians against the Turkish government and
with aiding them in or concealing the manu-
facture of dynamite bombs in Christian
churches 1t is said that Mustapha Bey pre-
sented what the Turkish government regards
as proof made and that they are now on file
in the department. Among those accused are
DR.. Cyrus Hallin, the well known Congrega-
t'cnal minister. and Drs. Dwight and Wash
burn OF Roberts college in Constantinople

At a late hour last night Manager
Ports, of the Pine Bluff Athletic
Association, was quietly moving
about the city calling ON his friends
and giving them Tip" that there
would be great sport at the asssocia-
tion's arena at II O'Clock that night,
and asking them to be present. The
GRAPHIC reporter was of the number.
and at the appointed time he re-
paired 10 the associations room
and found present nearly one
hundred admirers of pngilistic
sport
1t was announced that there
would be two bouts, the first 3
friendly three-round go between
Joe Drew and Ryan, OF Chicago.
Both men entered the ring about
the same time and were given a
warm reception. The customary
preleminaries We're gone through
with and the sparring begun. 1t
was pretty work, and while it was
apparent to all that Ryan was the
quicker with his "mits," it could
also be seen that his blows had no
effect on the little "pine knot
Drew. AT the close of the bout
honors between the two men We're
about even.
The Ego" of the evening was that
between Billy Layton and Casey, of
Chicago. Casey entered the ring
first and announced that the con-
test had been arranged for the
purpose of letting the people see
that he could box, and then if
possible to arrange 1t match with
Layton.
Both men stripped and appeared
pretty evenly matched as to weight,
but to the observant eye 1t was at
once evident that Layton was far
superior to his opponent, both in
science, muscle and endurance The
fight began and while Casey did
some pretty work it was at once
seen that he was in no condition
and that Layton simply played
with him as cat would a mouse,
and simply punched him at will,
and for fun took several severe
blows from Casey to show that the
latter could not hurt him. The
third and last round was a "hot"
one, at least Casey thought SO, for
he was about winded when the
gong sounded and saved him from
goih out.
Everyone present say that the
two "'goes" were the most spirited
and scientific ever seen here.
An effort is being made to arrange
a match between Billy O'Donnell
and Ryan. Layton is to fight Frank
White, of Denver on the 29th, and
as Tip" from the GHAPHIc he is
a sure winner.
