not a songster.
Yesterday morning, to the infinite sur
prise of Miss Potter and the nurses, the
knocking bird began to sing. 1t whistledl
and piped and trilled and Its shrill and
beautiful tones echoed thruout the cor
ridors of the hospital. The nurses and
doctors remarked that Miss Potter's pet.
had found its voice at last and all felt
the bird some amusement for the suffer-
Ing little patient. But the tones lasted.
only few hours. The bird suddenly
dropped in its cage and ceased its music.
The song ended as life went from the.
girl who owned the singer.
Since last December Jennie Potter had
occupied room in st. Luke's hospital.
She came here from Chicago, full of life,5
vigor and ambition, and was a success
the instant she appeared. Her splendid.
powers as an elocutionist brought her
fame, friends and money, and for
months she was the rage.
Then, one day her friends were told
that the girl from the west was stricken
with cancer and that her case was hope
less. She was taken to the hospital and.
told that she must die. 1t was hard
blow, but she bore 1t we'll and became
)reconciled. Her old friends did not for
get her and her room in the hospital has
ben gay all the time with flowers and
other things that were TO brighten up
the fast feeting days OF the unfortunate

Promised.

Washington, April 1S.-There Is mr.
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between the United States and
Turkey are in a critical state, due to the
sultan's bad faith. He promised to pay
the indemnity claims Of the American
missionaries for the destruction Of eight
buildings Of the Euphrates college at
Harpoot and several buildings belong
ing to the American missionaries at Ma
rash during the Armenian massacres Of
1895.

announced he presented his resignation,
but the president, regarding the services
of Mr.. Straus as Indispensable. definite
IL extended his leave. subject to the call
of the secretary of state, whenever cir
cunstances may necessitate his return.

was first made, that promise still re-

the sultan's promise is not definitely

may result in Secretary Hay sending
the Turkish minister at Washington his
passports. The question involved be-
no.

tional law, but upon the sultan's broken

withheld
When DR.. Angel resigned in 1898 the
relations between the TWO countries
were critical by reason of the inaction
of the Turkish government and its re-
ffusal 70 entertain the indemnity claims.
The Turkish government, shortly before
the departure Of DR.. Angel, sent reply
denying all liability for the buildings
and property destroyed. A similar res
ply was sent to the ambassadors Of
England, France and Italy, having like
claims MIR. Strauss. when he reached
sGcnstantinople in 1895, took UP the ques-
ton anew basing his argument upon
the well-recognied principles OF inter-
national law, with the result that in an
audience with the sultan. Dec. S, 1893,
the sultan promised to pay the claims.
The sultan also stated that he had Civ
Ten permission for the reconstruction OF
the destroyed buildings. Neither of these
promises has been kept. tho Mr.. Straus

accomplish 70 bring the sultan's atten-
ton to the seriousness OF the situation.

THRIFT.

The following from the Baltimore
Sun is well worth reproducing:
The general rule to be followed
by all who would learn to be thrifty
is to save something, however
small, from the pay of each week
or month. That means in the first
place, the wholesome principle of
living within ones income, and in
the second place, a gain in capital
to be used in meeting reverses of
fortune, or if these be escaped, in
building up a competence. The
habit of saving however, is the i'm
portant outcome OF thrift. One
need not be stingy or mean in order
to be thrifty. AS a matter of fact,
thrifty people live quite as we'll as
their extravagant neighbors, The
only difference between them is the
thrifty family avoids waste by
learning small economies, while the
extravagant family develops taste
beyond the means for their gratif
cation.
The thrifty family wants less and
gets what it wants, the extrava-
giant family is always discontented,
There is nothing more important to
the welfare and happiness of the
poor man than habits of thrift and
they can easily be acquired without
much sacrifice if ones tastes and
needs as to keep expenditures with
in the income, whatever that may

Ed Sims Aeeidentally Kills a Negro.

Saturday, at Neame. La, Mr.. Ed
Sins, son of Mr.. Henry Sins of this
city, accidentally shot and killed a
negro, in the meat market of the
Central Coal & Coke Co., which he
was running there. Evidence at
the coroner's inquest showed that
young Sins and the negro were get
ting ready to go out and slaughter
cattle, when, in loading a Win,
chester rifle which was very easy on
trigger, it was accidentally dis.
charged and striking the negro in
the head, resulted in instant death,
Jury exhonorated Mr. Sins.
With his many friends here, the
Texarkanian is glad to know that
no blame attaches to Mr. Sins in
the accidental killing. We knew OF
the affair Saturday, but awaited
facts before publishing about it.

Be a Man.

When a young man stands on the
corner with a group of loafers aud
makes remarks about the character
of the young ladies passing by, we
wonder if he has sisters at home,
asks the editor of the Cameron OBJ
server. Yes, we question his love
for the mother who gave him birth.
Truly, he does not understand that
he may in a careless way say that
which will cause many hearts to
ache for years. "Unuttered
thoughts may sometimes fall back
dead; even God himself cannot kill
them when they're said" Yet how
many times is-some loving sister or
daughter slandered by foulmouth
whelp, who has not the principle of
contemplate cur. Boys, when
you are lightly jesting about the
character of some poor girl, do you
stop to think that some one else
may be talking just so about your
sister, if you do not respect theirs?
Stop to think that some one may be
oiling the tongue of SANDER to use
in poisoning the minds of the peo-
pie against you. Let us say IN all
tenderness and kindness-be a man.

Beware offs Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron.
chitis, which are the most danger,
Gus and fatal diseases, have for
their first indication a persistent
cough, and if properly treated as
soon as this cough appears, are
easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has proven wonderfully
successful, and gained its wide rep.
utation and extensive sale by its
success in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not bene-
fetal it will not cost you a cent.
