HAS FAITH IN ABDUL.
Ex-Minister Terrell Thinks the Sultau
Is an Honest Man.

AUSTIN, Tex. April 26.-When asked to-
day for an expression as to the merits OF
the United States claim against Turkey
for indemnity for the burning of missions
airy property during the Armenian troubles,
ex-United States Minister A. w. Terrell.
now residing in this city, gave out the fol-
lowing interview: Z
~ entirely agree with Gen. Lew wallace
in his estimate OF the Sultan of Turkey.
There is much ignorance about the nature
of our claim against Turkey. We claim
indemnity for the burning OF missionary
property at Harpoot and Marash. places
then dominated by Kurds and a fanatical
populace and remote at the time from cons
sular protection. Missionaries claim that
the burning was done with the aid or cons
nivance Of Turkish soldiers. The Porte has
insisted that IL was done by Kurds and by
an ungovernable mob. Our claim is sus<
tanned by circumstances resting on mis-
sionary evidence; the denials OF the Turks
is sustained by Official reports by Turkish
officers and pashas. and the issue of fact
has not been settled by an impartial tribu-
nal. The burning was done during the Ar
menian massacres, and the Kurds have
been the enemies of the Armenians from
the time of Xenophon.
Turkey. by TIE treaty Of Berlin. Is un-
der a quasi protectorate OF the six great
European powers. The claims Of Russia
and several other powers for indemnity on
account of spoliations are far greater than
ours, and IL would seem that while those
powers refrain from enforcing their de-
mands we should hesitate long before dis
turbing the peace OF Europe by resortin9

MRS. GOULD AND THE DREssMAKER.
She Is AppIauded by Other Women as
a Person Of Courage.

New York Evening Sun.
Every woman who has ever employed a
must rejoice with Mrs. Howard
Gould. What women have to put up with
at the hands of their dressmakers is hardly
to be believed by men. Certainly, men have
no perplexities comparable. At the same
time it is hard for any court to decide such
question as this of Mrs. Gould's. 1t is es-
should fit. But what, in the eye of the law,
constitutes a fit? Neither Coke nor Black
stone has a word to say upon the subject;
no precedent In any court has been estab-
lished upon the matter. Fit, as applied to
clothes, is as elusive and as not-to-be-de-
fined as the religious principles of many
PERSONS. What constitutes the morality or
immortality OF a play or a book is easier to
decide. Like most things in this world. fit
is largely a matter of taste, and nobody
yet has ever found any rule for tina be-
yond the established right of each TO ex-
ercise his taste as he chooses. What suits

that patron no redress, is not always likely

that's the way you ordered it. You wanted
ii made with double revers and an extra
broad waistcoat, and, made that way, you
can't expect II to fit. No bodice having
double revers and an extra broad waistcoat
was ever known to fit" II doesn't do the
slightest good for the victim TO insist that
what she ordered were but details, and de-
tails of and that the fit of the
foundation bodice is a matter for which
the dressmaker Is alone responsible. If ali
the women whose lives are made miserable
by perpetual friction with their dressmak-
ers were TO bring their cases to court
magistrates wouldn't nave time to con-
slider any other kind of cases. Mrs. Gould
is to be congratulated upon her pluck in
facing the situation so determinedly. h
prayers of every woman not a dressmaker
were with her. Her victory establishes a
precedent which, il is TO be hoped, will
mean a better state of things for the flu
ture.

A Priceless Volume.

About four years ago a London
blacksmith noticed on a secondhand
bookstall a very old book priced at
two cents. He bought it, and, after
attempting to read it, threw it aside
and soon forgot it. One of his dodgers
happening to see the book recently,
and, noticing that it was dated 1850,
asked permission to show it to the
British Museum authorities. day
or two later the blacksmith was re
quested to call, and the Secretary, to
his surprise, asked him what he would
take for the book. In some slight
confusion the man said, What will
you give?" "Will $3.50 suit you?" was
the answer of the Secretary. The
blacksmith was so dumbfounded that
the Secretary thought he was ridicul-
ing his offer, and therefore immediate
ly increased to $500, which was at
once accepted. Sooner than have lost
the book, however, which was the
first book that Gutenberg ever print
ed and, therefore almost priceless,
the Museum authorities would have
paid almost any sum tha' had been
asked.
