Armenian

Nc observe that another minister has been preaching concerning the growing wiekedness of the times. When person begins to conclude the world is not so good as 1t used to be, it is a sign of one thing only-that he is grow ing old. It is q sign that the preach CT has no faith at all ill his own religion. What such man wants is to shake himself up. go out and work by the day awhile at ehopping wood or some other active physical labor, or take a course in dieting, athletics and bieyeling-anything to get out of his old ruts of thought. A hustling, lively journey would be good for him, one that shook him up and let the voice of the world into his ears. Then he would find there are as much generosity and gentleness, as much purity, heroism and high endeavor as there ever were. It may be that certain conventional views of conduct and propriety are not the same as they were when he was young, but what of that? Fashions of dress are not the same as they were. Oh, mol Let him shake himself up and look about him, and he will find that he it is who is deteriorating, not the world.

Armenian Propagandists.

A flood of light is thrown on the real cause of the Armenian massacres in one of Dr. Hepworth's s Herald letters. The cause of this horrible theological killing is not religious at all, but political, as has been the case in every instance of q so called religious war in either Europe or Asia from the time of the crusades to the present day. Here is the bare truth: For many years England has been ostentatiously pitying the perse- cuted Armenian Christians in the Turk s dominions. Armenians are scattered all over Asia Minor. But they are in the minority everywhere. In Kurdistan, for instance, there are 50,000 Armenians, civilians all. In Kurdistan there are, on the other hand, 5000, 900 Kurds, many of them drilled soldiers, thoroughly armed, desperate fighters and the best cavalrymen ill the Turkish army. This is about the proportion of Turk and Ar menian generally
 Nevertheless England continues to express in words and wind her sym pathy for the oppressed Armenians. No doubt they are oppressed. "In London, in Paris and in Berlin, D says Dr Tepworth, there are certain Ar menian hetheds ;" At this safe dis tanee Armenian propagandists stir up their countrymen at home to revolt. The propagandists get their living and q good one by it. They lead the revolt ing people to believe that England will lay hold if they begin the rebellion and help them get free of the Turk. That England never does. never will do, but still the safe Armenians in Europe stir up the Armenians in Asia Minor to shoot and knife Turkish officials. The result is that Turkish soldiers fall upon the rebels and put them and their fam flies to death without mercy.
 Here is an interview with captive Armenian:
 Tt was not possible for you, said my friend. "even in your blindest moments to suppose you could be successful"
 "We never dreamed of success, !" was the re ply.
 But by your folly you have caused hun dreds of innocent people to be murdered in cold blood. {"
 'sWe could do the same thing over again, was the response.
 And whytH
 Because though we are not strong in our selves we arc strong in the sympathy of Eu- rope. What we cannot do Europe can do and we believe will do if her sympathy is sutfi- eiently enlisted. In way the sacrifice of the Armenian populaee to the savage fury of the Turks Is the shortest road we can take. If we can make Europe fight our battles for us, we shall achieve success

Dignity of Man.


 It Is ill the moral and spiritual natpre Chat the dignity of man appears to DOS sess an advantage of his kinship with divinity based upon his immortal na- ture. This links him to the chain of endless being Possessed of God S own nature man has power to grasp the in. tangible and see the invisible. .-Dr. Kerr Boyoe Tupper, Baptist, Chicago.
 Question of Character.
 So far as man is concerned the devils presence and temptations are to result in the development of character. Man decides the question of character. If God had made it impossible to sin. there could have been no character. Man at his best would have been q ma. chine. Neither virtue nor heroism wonld have been possible.-Dr J. R. West. wood, Methodist, Philadelphia.
 Actual Christian Life.
 Literary and dramatic Christianity will never be truly descriptive of the actual Christian life because there is SC much of it that is beyond the power of human portraiture. The human ole. ments may be given with reasonable ac. curacy, but what makes the Christian life Christian is the infusion of the di. vine, and that is beyond the power oi man to reveal except by suggestion. = Dr. A.

STARK SAW A SHADOW.
1t Caused the Police an Anxious Half
Hour Just the Same.

Insurance Man Stark was passing
the Lehigh Valley ticket Office on
Lackawanna avenue last night at 915
when he saw what he supposed was a
man attempting to open the safe which
is located about midway from the en-
trance door to the rear of the room.
He notified the police and Patroman
Flaherty took UP a station at the front
door while Patrolman Karius slipped
around TO the rear to prevent the in
truder from escaping by that route.
Patrolman McColligan mounted the
roof to see that the bold cracksman
did not escape through the skylight or
chimney. A message was dispatched
after one of the Lehigh Valley officials
that the police might enter the build
ing and pending his arrival a crowd OF
several hundred persons gathered in
front of the building and anxiously
awaited the coming of the key that
would permit the officer to enter the
building.
Finally it arrived and Patrolman
Flaherty with drawn revolver entered
No burglar could be found and it was
finally decided that Stark must have
seen a shadow instead of the real
thing"

JUDGE OUT FOR 1T.
Skelly Has $500 to Be Posted as a
Forfeit Today-A Challenge from
a Philadelphia Man.

Thers is no fake connected with the
announcement made yesterday that
Jim Judge is open to box any welter-
weight in the world, bar none. When
Jack Skelly left here for New York
city yesterday he carried with him a
certified check for $500 which will
probably be deposited with a metro
politan paper today as a forfeit to bind
Judge to a side bet of $1,000 against
Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, or "Myster-
ious" Billy Smith.
There is no madness in Judges pro-
position. He claims to be a welter-
weight and not a special weight boxer.
The welterweight limit is from 14O to
142 pounds, no higher than that, and
Ryan or Smith must meet Judge at
that weight or pose no longer as well
terweights. Skelly, as Judges mana
ger, is out fiat footed to make Judge
the welterwelght champion or see him
defeated at that weight.
Stress is laid on the point that Ryan.
Smith and others of their class. will
not box at or below ZAP pounds, al
though claiming to be welterweight
peers. At that weight, Judges long,
lean, freaky ouild gives him a tremen-
uOuS duNduldSS, tiS he can uldhe II
| without being weakened. The same
can not be said of all the men who
claim TO be welterweights but insist on
weighing from 144 to $50 pounds when
challenged.
If Skelly is unable to do business
with Ryan or Smith he will claim the
welterweight championship for Judge
as long as he is undefeated at lao to
li2 pounds. Later it will be time to
heed some of the challenges like the
following:
Philadelphia, Aug. %, 1898.
Sporting Editor ScrGi ton Tribune.
Sir: I herewith challenge Jimmy Judge,
of Scranton, to box me twenty-round
contest at 1i2 pounds before the Ameri-
can Sporting club of your city. / in

fought number of times since this was
published. 1 have repeatedly challenged
| any man in the world at 40 to 1i5 pounds
! and the offer is still open. Hoping for a
| chance to meet Judge, 1 remain, yours
truly,
Charley johnson, Philadelphia, Pa,
When the foregoing was shown to
Skelly before he left for New York yes
terday he said: 1T is not likely that
Judge will box again in Scranton. If
Johnson and some others want to meet
him at 142 pounds they can be accom-
modated, but not in Scranton and not
without a side bet and not until some
of these high class special weight men
meet Judge at welterweight or forfeit

alton from any source has been re-
ceived here.
Investigation by Tribune reporter
did not reveal any evidence of a
change of plans for the Eleventh. To
all appearances the work of complet-
ing its internal organization and of
fully equipping it will not be halted.
But while this preparation is in pro-
gress, officers of the regiment and 9TH
ers usually well posted in National
guard affairs admit that since the or
ganizng of the provisional regiments
began, no word, officially or otherwise,
has come to them regarding the future
of the regiment or the guard.
GUNS EXPECTED.
There is good reason for the belief
that guns for the Eleventh will be re-
ceived here any day. They are of the
most modern single-shot, Springfield
type. A large force of workmen at
Harrisburg is turning out scores Of
uniforms each day and shipments have
been made to regiments whose COM
| panies sent in their acquisitions early.
This is considered a good indication
that the provisional guard will be
| been no stop in the equipment work
! since peace negotiations began.
A weighty reason for belief that the
| reports concerning the mastering out
| of the Thirteenth are wrong appears
| in the fact that the Thirteenth is one
| of the Pennsylvania regiments at
! tached to a brigade. A number OF
| Pennsylvania regiments doing special
duty in New Jersey and at Fort Wash.

the ones most likely to be mustered

ments are kept in service.
