The Turkish Legation at Washington
gave out the following official communi-
cation Monday. "The Imperial govern
ment will not permit any distribution
among his subjects, in his own territory,
by any foreign society or individuals,
however respectable the same may be
[as, for instance, the Red Cross society
of money collected abroad. Such inter
ference no independent government has
ever allowed, especially when the col
1ections are made ON the strength Of
speeches delivered in public meetings by
irreconcilable enemies of the Turkish
race and religion and on the basis oi
false accusations that Turkey repudiates
Besides, the Sublime Porte is mindful oi
the true interest of its subjects, and dis
tinguishing between the real state OF
things and the calumnies and wild ex-
aggerations of interested or fanatical
parties, will, as it has done heretofore,
under its own Legitimate control, allevi-
ate the wants of all Turkish subjects,
living in certain provinces, irrespective
of creed or race"

expectation that it will avail itself of all
possible sources of information, will ap-
ply to the matter all pertinent rules OF
municipal and international law, and
will report to the President the conclu-

delay as may be compatible with the
thorough and impartial consideration of
the subject. Within these broad lines
the Commission is to fix upon its own
course of procedure, and it is understood
that it is to act in entire independence OF
the State Department. Its investigations
are likely to extend over several months.
and it is probable that the country will
not learn much about them until they

DURING 1894 3,3I5 patents relating to
electricity were granted in Great Britain,
the United States and Germany. Of
these I,I3o were British, being ione-

DIR. Jamison and his followers not

course that when England found her
absorption of the gold fields of South
Africa thus blocked by the open de-

cealed opposition of France, Russia and
Italy, the British populace should hotly
proclaim their readiness to meet the world
in arms. The logic of the situation ac-
tually leaves England for the time being
at the mercy of the weak South African
Republic, and it is reasonable to expect
that the shrewd leaders of that Govern
ment will gladly embrace thia opportu-
nifty to escape from British suzeraintv
That will be bitter pill for England to
swallow; but it has been prepared by
Englishmen, and at present the other
great European Powers evidently mean
to see it accepted, however distasteful it
may be.

We, the Members of Buffalo Township

final rest. But recently it was to one
somewhat advanced in years, now to one

Clement S. Easley in his Goth year
surely we who remain should he admonish-
ed of the truth of this, "The young may
die. the old must"
We can truthfully say of the deceased
that he was yonng man who was admir-
ed and respected by all who knew him.
BE was amiable, gentle and obliging in
his disposition; he was dutiful to his pa
rents, respectful to his teachers, pleasant
and agreeable to his associates, kind and
considerate to his brothers and sisters.
He was firmly attached to the church of
his birth and of his choice, firm believer
in its doctrines, but, like his father, liberal
enough in his views to recognize others as
true Christians though differing in name.
His first serious illness manifested itself
when he was a student in Slipperyrock
Normal School. 1t was Of q pulmonary
nature, lingeIng and deceptive, but has
tened at last by spinal meningitis. He bore
his sufferings with true Christion fortitude,
and hoping for restoration of health, yet
with firm reliance in the wisdom and
goodness of Him "Who doeth all things
we'll"
To his afflicted father and mother and to
his sorrowing sisters ald brothers we ex-
tend our deepest and most heartfelt sym
patnies in this the time Of their great afilic-
ton; may they be comforted with this
thought; that what is their loss is his eter-
nal gain.

FOR STATE SENATOR.

The Greenville Independent has this
to say as to the nomination for state
senator:
"Montcalm county will have the
nomination of the next senator from
this district il precedent be followed,
as Ionia county has had the senator
for two successive terms. No person
has as yet announced himself as can
didate for nomination, so far as we
know, although we have heard in an
unofficial way of two or three whose
friends begin TO talk of them in con-
nection with this Office. The name of
DR.. Charles +. Morgan Of Greenville
has peen named as person who would
fill the position with credit To himself.
Doctor Morgan has been mayor of
Greenville and shown ability as pub
lie official. Montcalm county republi-
cans are asked TO consider his name
for nomination.
Ionia county will not ask for the
nomination for state senator and will
support any candidate upon
whom Montcalm Republicans NAV
unite-Ionia Sentinel. The BANNER
could heartily support the nomination
of DR.. Morgan.

"In this case they did, Spudds has

Wandering Needles.

In one of the medical journals sur.
geon recorded some years ago strange
instance of the wanderings of a needle
in lady. The patient called upon him,
stating that the greater portion of an
ordinary sewing needle had broken in
the first joint of her left thumb The
surgeon could plainly feel the needle
point, but after Intellectual attempts at
the extraction of the foreign body he
recommended that nothing further
should be done lest the attempts to re-
move it might result in greater injury
to the joint.
About year afterward, however, the
patient called upon him TO inform him
that day or two previously she had
felt pricking sensation of the right
forefinger, and having broken the skin
she without difficulty extracted the
portion of the lost needle from the point
Of the finger. If all these facts be cor
rect. as reported, the needle travelled
from the left thumb along the arm,
across the chest to the right arm, and
down the latter to the finger where it
was extracted. Chambers Journal

Modern day seers and fortune tellers
will do well to steer clear of Michigan,
the supreme court having, in an opin-
ion laid down rule which makes them
liable to fine and punishment. Last
year Arthur Elmer appeared at Ionia
and advertised extensively his power
to foretell the future. He was liber-
ally patrodized, but after advising a
woman TO leave her husband, saying
that while in a trance he had seen the
latter in the act OF killing her, he was
arrested as disorderly person and con-
victed. This judgment was affirmed
in an opinion in which the Eng
lish statute, which declares that 'every
person pretending or protesting to tell
fortunes shall be deemed rogue and a
vagabond," was approvingly quoted.
The opinion also approves the language
OF the trial judge to the effect that no
person not lunatic could believe the
accused possessed power to foretell the
future.

that it is an excellent thing to, several

is "a dangerous dose, doing some vague

Those who have much to say about
the alleged decentralization OF silver in
1878, and seek to convey the impress
sion to the popular mind that silver
money is not as plentiful as it formerly
was, misrepresent the matter, for it is
fact that official statistics show that
since the date of the so-called demone-

nearly sixty-seven times as much as
had been coined in the entire previous
