The Slaughter Tint Came with the
End of the JnnIzaries.
On the 18th day of June, 1925, the
capital assembled, overturned their
camp kettles (the signal of revolt) and
advanced upon the seraglio. With his
own hand the sultan unfurled the
sacred "sanjak sheriff" and called upon
the true believers to rally round their
disChah and caliph, and the jealous
Mussulman citizens rushed from all

were raked with grape and solid shot

ants. The artillery, supported by the
marines and the bostangi, pressed for
ward and compelled them to retreat to
their barracks. where they offered des-
perate resistance to the assault
From every street cannon thundered
on the walls without intermission, the
building was soon in flames the walls
torn and battered down by grapeshot,
and the janiznries, overwhelmed by
ruins, shot and flames, perished in their
burning and blood stained barracks
For two days the gates Of the city re-
mained closed, and with relentless vigor
every corner was searched for such
janizaries as had escaped the general
massacre, and when found they were
hastily executed. Nearly 10000 jani-
zaries were destroyed on this memora-
BILE day, and many thousands were aft
erward put to death in the various
cities of the empire, and thus not one
of the number under arms was left to
tell the tale Self Culture.

Exports in February last were the
largest of any previous year except 1898
and this not in volume but in value,
prices Being lower on some leading
articles last month. The quantity of
wheat exported in February 1899, was
nearly 100000, against 1000, 900
bushels in the corresponding p1on h Of
1898, while the value Is given at 81, 1885,
500. against So, ,434,02s The exports Of
wheat 10 the eight months ended Febru.
ary, 1899, amounted to los, ,s07, $50,
against lO1, ,425, ,562 bushels last year,
while the value is but $8l, ,l73, ,049,
against s93, ,9S2, ,5B6 in the corresponding
months OF last year. While the wheat
producers are not obtaining as sAtisfsc-
tory prices for their products as they
did at this time last year, the cotton
growers are more fortunate. The Febru-
ary exports Of cotton, which amounted
TO 2S3 412 ,706 pounds, were valued at
s17 1926, 4B3, while $685., 800 pounds
exported In February OF last year were
valued at but $21, ,76l, ,l67, the average
export price last year being below 6
cents per pound, while this year 1t is
considerably above cents.
Except wheat our export trade Is
more satisfactory than year ago, and
exports of provisions in 1899, is larger
than In the corresponding months of
the three previous years, and manufac-
tures are an improvement over year

drS perry and CARPET firm of SchmucSer &c
Weber aud laUsr empl yed by The
Miller Comp pany, lies dead in a ST. Paul,
Mimi, n orgue, the victim Of his own
villa suicide. Information received
Monday morning by Marshal Reed from
Chief Of Police NJ. NJ. Goss Of st. Paul,
and the subsequent investigations pur-
sued 10y the marshal ana local reporters,
leaves little doubt that the dead man In
st. Paul, around whom a veil Of mystery
has hurg since his death, March 8, is
none other than Tom Weber.
While Marshal Reed was attending
court in the mayors office this morning
he received by mall letter containing
the description of man who committed
suicide in st. Paul. March 8. The
communication was from the st, Paul
chief Of police, aud besides description
of the dead man and his apparel, con'
tained clipping from the st. Paul Globe
of the 18th inst. Accompanying the
letter was q large photograph Of the
deceased, taken rs he lay In the morgue
The letter stated that a man had beer
found 10 the streets of st. Paul in 9
dy ing condition and died without max
ing a statement This occurred Wednes
day evening March 8. The letter re
austed that the description be furnishe:

Buokius s. Sons bs interviewed in Iegart
tn shoes found on the body. The shoet
were cf the Hanan make, and the st
Paul authorities took the number, 1856
Al, $40, and sent 1t to the Hanar
factories In Newark, N. j. A reply from
them stated that the shoes We're in 1
consignment to L. V. Bockius & Sons
Canton, Ohio. So thus the flrst clue wa
discovered.
The description of tie man was a
follows: "The suicide was man 80 o.
35 years Of age, dark complexion, with
weeks growth of dark beird which wa
thinly grown. Height feet 10 luches

said to have rem Dberei as wearing the
sort Of heard shown in the picture.
Marshal Reed next c,lled on Mr..
schmucker at ths Miller Co. where he is
employed. Mr.. Schumacher at once said
that she rememtered the scar on Mr..
weber's right hani, The wound having
severed the lead rs Of tie thumb and

W. e. Homer, the clOthier at the corner
Of Market and TuscarAwas streets, the
Canton dellerIn Stein Bloch clott ing,
said that tue description of the over
coat found on the body Of the st. Paul
suicide coiEcided precisely with a gar
ment he sold Tom wener. He also noted
a strong resemblance in the picture to
his customer.
With these facs a News-Democrat
reporter called at the residence Of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles II. Schmidt, 1897 East
Fourth streets, parents Of Mrs. Weber,
with hom she, with her two months old
b apy boy, is now living. Mrs. Weber had
not hesrd of the sad news, and it was
LIT TO her father to break the intelligence.
Mr.. Schmidt, in answer to inquiries,
said that his son-in-law had left the city
four weeks ago, with the intention OF
seeking employment In Cincinnati.
George Schmidt, son, is assistant
superintendent of mails in the Cincinnati
postofllce, and he was notified to meet
Mr.. Weber and assist him In getting
something to do. After week had

no word came to the anxious wife.
Jacob Weber, brother, employed at
the Berger works, was seen by Marshal
Reed. When shown the photograph he

his gravest fears. He left his work aud
