TURKEY DENIES THE STATEMENT
Missionaries VIII Not BE Expelled IL
They Behave Themselves.

Washington. April 12.-The Turkish le-
CATION has received from thee sublime
uorte under yesterdays date the follow
ing oablcgram:
1T has been falsely stated that the mis-
sionaries would be expelled. The imper-
ial government has not taken and does
not intend to take any general measure
of expulsion of missionaries and Catholic
priests. Those among them who att md
peacefully to their business are not and
will not be disturbed But, surely, ii can
not be the same for those who by their
attitude try to disturb the order and
tranquility of the country ard place them
selves in open hostility to the laws and
regulations in force in the empire. The
imperial government watchful of the
maintenance of public security, has the
duty to send them away from its territory
and in so doing. it avails itself of right
which in all justice nobody could con
test"

Easily Made by s. J. Wefers In
O:O9 As.
He Also Makes the 22O Yard
Dash in 21 Is Seconds.

New York, June 1.-The intercolleg-
late athletic games of this year will be
memorable for many years to come to
athletes the world over
There was a wedding out in the trial
contests, and with the track and in
field in frst-class condition, the break
ing Of intercollegiate and other records
were looked for. The most sanguine Of
those interested never hoped to see
such a record-smashing performance as
that made by s. j. Wefers of George
town in the 220-yard dash This Won
derful sprinter not only broke the in
tercollegiate record, but he succeeded
in making a worlds record of OBJ 1-5,
which for the distance beats all pro-
fessional and amateur performances
He won the 100-yard dash easily in
O.O9 4-5, equalling his own, which is the
world S record easily.
-Four intercollegiate records were bro
ken, namely, the 100 and 22O-yard dash
es, the high jump and half mile run.
The mile walk was productive of avery
exciting finish between Thrau of Yale
and Fetterman of Pennsylvania, which
Thrau won. hard pressed, by two yards.
Stewart of Pennsylvania protested the
pole vault and the question viii be in
vestigated, but it viii not have any eff
feet ON the result of the championship,
as Yale has more than enough points
to spare in case of an adverse decision.

entrance with grand flourish The house

Immediately took up the strain, and in ten

Arc they drunk or am I nad9'' cried
Sarah to the other actors as she olutched
apprehensively at her clothes. For q full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah, muttering things below her breath,
rushed like a fury down to the foOtlights.
In the front row the actress had spotted
one man who was not taking part in the

Pointing at him, the actress exclaimed
sternly: You seem to be the only sensi-

While she was still in pinatores the child's
precocity in a musical way was the subject
Of comment and her recitations were con-
sidered little less than marvellous. Her
parents reluctantly came to the conclusion
that the stage would have to be the pro
fession of their daughter, and at the age
of - Gwendoline North made her profess
sionaI debut with Henry COsta's Juvenile
Opera company in Dieppe, France. She
scored an emphatic success and was re-en-
gagged bv the manager over and over
again. She remained in Franco for sew
eral years, returning 20 England in 1890
to accept position as prima donna So
prano of a large comic opera company
which made an extended tour of England,
Scotland and Wales This experience
added largely to her fame, and thereafter
her services were constantly in demand by
responsible managers
Since that time she has had a varied
professional experience, having played
many parts in comic opera, burlesque,
pantomime and the drama. Among her
most conspicuous successes were her per
fornances OF the title role in ''The Gypsy
Queen at the Lyoeum theater, Edin-
burgh; the COmtessa de la Biague in
Morocco Bound and as Dorothy Ban
tam in Dorothy" In July, 1895, Miss
North came to this country and signed for
a season with q burlasquo company and
made such an excellent impression that
her prospective starring tour resulted. On
Oct. of that year she was married to
Master Martin, a vaudeville artist She
is of fine physique and has most attract
i've face. She possesses a good soprano
voice and is an excellent pianist and an
accomplished linguist.
