United States Consul James II.
Madden, of Illinois, is not what may be
termed decorative official His
consulship confines him to Smyrna, in
Asia Minor, and in that ancient town,
in the presence of the Turkish officials,
the American missionaries and a
great crowd, on recent occasion, he
took an axe and smashed in the jail
door and released q number of Amer
lean citiZens confined there.
1t was about this time last year, and
the Turks and Kurds and Druses were
murd ering the Christians in all direc-
tions. They killed thousands of them
in Van and thousands more in Diar-
bsker, and they would have slain their
quota in Smyrna, also, had it not been
for Colonel Madden.
While the storm was still brewing
the Rev. j. II. Wiley and other
American missionaries stationed in
Smyrna, were watched by the Turks,
but having fear of the United States
frigate Marblehead, lying in the har-
Dor, they left the missionaries alone
and confined their attentions to their
neophytes and catachumens Finally
they arrested number of them,
despite the protests of Mr.. Wiley and
his friends. and lodged them in jail.
The missionaries declares that the
catachumens were either American citi-
zens or their children and were under
the protection of the United States
flag.

NEWSPAPERS are soon to be used as
text books in the public schools of
Kansas City, partly as an encourage
ment to teachers and pupils to keep up
an interest in current events, says the
San Antonio Express. 1t is to be hoped
the schools will exercise care and dis
elimination in the selection of news
papers to be so used. Yellow journal
ism should certainly not be considered
in the least. The use of newspapers as
text books in the schools may serve a
double purpose of improving both the
schools aud the newspapers.

them. Nevertheless, time was moving
on, and the Moslems gathered in great

They were simply thirsting for

Wiley, in desperation, 1.-The situation
is horrible. Our minister in Constan-

in the matter. What shall we
do?''

replied the consul, who is a Grand
Army man aud six feet two in his
stocking feet, and, so saying, he went
to the nearest hardware store and pur-
chased an axe for an American dollar.
Throwing the axe over his shoulder he
moved toward the Jail, followed by a
crowd composed of men of all nationa-
l;ties, who wondered what was going to
happen.
