The Greek patriarch issues an official
report that there were 700 persons
killed, including a number of Greeks,
in the recent massacre at Tokat. The
porte, fearing an outbreak here, has
arrested eighty Armenian suspects. 1t
Is stated that the sultan is soliciting an

A Great Genius.

The greatest military engineer of any
age was Sebastian Lepreste Vauban,
born in 1888 and who died in 1907. To
vauban Is due the credit of almost all
the fortresses which to the present day
protect the frontiers and the coasts of
France. D~ring his career as a mill
tary engineer he constructed on new
fines over 900 old fortresses and built
shis.y-three new. He carried on fifty
three sieges, being successful in nearly
every one, and took part in lao battles.

Protestant, according to the wishes OF

Bishop Seymour of the diocese of II

their feet again, so to speak, by say
ing that God has not cursed dancing;
that it rs the poetry of motion, and not

liberal views as to the drama, which he
considers not in itself evil. The young
people will doubtless hasten to agree
