 It is stated that Archbishop Lope. has communicated from the Catho- lie church all the Masonic fraternity in Sonora. In Fl Sol of last Saturday is a very spirited article upon the subject.

Armenians Killed by Thousands.

There will never be any trustworthy
report OF the number of Armenians
killed during the thirty-six hours of
the massacre of Constnntinople. Some
of the officials seem to have two sets
of records-both equally wrong. One
report was prepared for the Sultan's
eyes. In the hope of commentator
for zeal in REFRESHING rebellion, actual
and possible, it places the total of
Armenian dead at more than eight
thousand. The other report was made
out for consumption in Europe, in the
hope of convincing the world that
nothing has occurred worthy of con-
domination. 1t declares the number
of Armenians dead to be eleven hun
bred. The actual fact probably
is that between four Thousand and six
thousand persons were killed from
sheer hate of race, beside any few
scores of actual revolutionists who
may have fallen through their own
folly. OF Turks, military and civil
ian, their own authorities that less
than one hundred and fifty were killed.
Nevertheless, the official documents
declare that the whole of these disor.
ders were the work of Armenians.
So far as the Turkish official utter
ances are concerned, not one particle
of regret or shame or remorse is felt
for the destruction of these thousa nds
of helpless creatures. -Scribner's.

IN FOR A BIG FIGHT.
Western Union Will Compete With
Bell Telephone

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 12-The Western
Union Telegraph Company will become an
active competitor ofthe American Bell Tele-
phone Company, both in the longdistance
telephone business and in the operating Of
local exchanges.
The Western Union has arranged for the
purchase of the plant of the Western Tele-
phone Construction Company in Chicago
and Of long-distance lines controlled by the
Western Telephone Construction Company.
The Western Union has secured franchises
in st. Louis, and proposes putting In an ex-
change with 1000 instruments at the start.
An exchange in Chicago is also in prospect.
Since the formation of the American Bell
Telephone Company, it and the Western
Union have worked under a contract where
by the Western Union agreed to keep out of
the telephone business and the Bell Tele-
phone Company to keep out of the telegraph
business. The contract expired in Novem-
Der. The American Telephone and Tee-
graph Company, which is controlled by the
American Bell, operates and now reaches
1000 points and has 100 900 miles of wire.
The Western Union, alarmed at the posi-
bility of combination between the tele-
phone companies and other telegraph lines,
has decided to become the aggressor. 1t is
to begin at once the erection of long-dis-
lance lines between Chicago and New York.
and will extend these lines to all parts Of
the country and operate local exchanges
in towns where II can obtain the exchanges
now in operation or where rival company
could do a prosperous business

DRIVEN BY ELECTRICITY.
Engine Which Runs Oh New
Haven, Ct, Railroad.

NEW HAVEN, Ct. Jan. l2-The novelty
Of an electric locomotive hauling freight
ears in the streets Of this city was witnessed
for the first time few DAYS ago, when the
Manufacturers Street Railroad Company
was completed. The road runs from Cedar
Hill Junction over a private right OF way
across the meadow along the Mill river,
across Grand avenue the main thoruughiare
to Fair Haven. thence through the premises
of the New Haven rolling mill and across
East Chapel street. near the Yale boat
house. thence on East Chapel street and
James street around two sharp curves OF
seventy-ilve feet radius through River street,
passing the BigelOw Company manufacturers
of boilers, the National Pipe Bending Com
pany, manufacturers Of heaters. and To the
Qunpipiac Brewing Company. The total
length is one and six.tenths miles and each
patron is provided with ample sdings TO re-
ceive the largest freight ears.
The locomotive weighs thirty tons and has
all its weight on four driving wheels forty
four inches in diameter. The power is fur
nished by two axle motors. having an aggre-
gate capacity OF 400-hOrse power mounted
direct without gearing on the aNles. The
truck, which hangs directly from the jour
nal boxes, is made of heavy eye beams and
carries the motors and cab, each upon indie
pendent spiral springs. The cab Is made OF
sheet iron and windows are SO located that
an unobstructcd view Is obtained in all
directions. \ series parallel controller gov
ems the supply OF current which comes
through the overhead trolley from the sta
ton OF the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad
Company. The locomotive was originally
designed for a speed Of thirty miles an hour,
but it is now wound for maximum of
twelve miles. at which rate 1t can easily haul
from ten to fifteen loaded freight cars on a
level. Only four ears in one train are al
lowed by the city and the maximum speed
permitted while on the city streets is seven
miles an hour.

New uses for electricity are constant
ly being discovered. A fish dealer
runs wire up through his counter
and shoves it into a huge block of fish
and then labels it electric fish," Any
one curious enough to touch the fish
with his fingers receives very per-
ceptible shock, which convinces him
that the fish is correctly labeled.
Recently local dealer in pickles,
who has dozen varieties ON display
in pans set on top of the different
casks, had a wire run along with a
little branch of copper wire running
into each pan. This charged the
pickles so that any one putting fin
ger in the pan to sample one received
smart shock. Just whether this was
intended to keep people from sampl-
ing the pickles or as a joke on those
who intended to do SO, is not known,
but after putting u finger near one
pan, no one attempted TO touch an
other. If one took up the pan or put
his hand on the pickles he receives no
noticeable shock, but the sensitive
end of finger put near a pickle re-
ceived rather unpleasant jar-Port-

The Story of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several gener.
ations has furnished moro distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. R. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College:
while DR.. DiXi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including a new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb.
scess at hip-joint, etc., etc.
At the early age of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over.
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve.
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be.
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of c;mple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew il
whenever needed in the early DAYS of
its history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where tho necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods
The result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory OF
Common Sense.
