BAZAAR FOR ST. MARY's.
Begins on December the 5th. Invitation in
RHYME

Tell me not IN accents dreary
That you think bazaars bore,
That of crewel-work you're weary,
And that tea-fghts you abhor.
Cash is needful cash is scanty,
At our efforts do not growl;
If it can't be raised by fair means,
Must it not be got by ''fowl?"
Wives of great ones oft remind them
They could make their wives present,
And departing leave behind them
What to us is quite as pleasant:
Pennies, which perhaps another,
After counting up his store,
Some morose and stingy brother,
Seeing him, adds something more.
Let us then be up and spending,
With purse for next Wednesday,
And our wishes still extending,
Learn to purchase and to pay!
-Wrongfellow.
The bazaar will be held in the parish
rooms of the Church of the Good Shep
herd Let everybody attend. 1t will
open Wednesday, December 5th. Delici-
Gus lunches and beautiful articles of

Constantinople. April 2ss.-The sublime
porte, greatly concerned over the firm
attitude of Col. Hay, the American Sec
.retary of state, has replied to the Amer
lean demand for payment of the 6 900
000) claimed as compensation for
damage to American property during
the Armenian massacres. The sultan
agrees to pay the Americans under the!
same conditions as apply to citizens of
other foreign states who sustained losses
in the same uprisings.
The sultan breads an American naval
demonstration in the Mediterranean,
and his worry over the indemnity COM
plication has had the effect of leading
him to abandon the arbitrary raising Of
customs duties. Whereas the ambassa-
idors hitherto have lodged with his ma
jesly four Intellectual protests, now he
consents to negotiate the matter.
The representatives of the other great
powers here watch the issue of the Tur-
co American difficulty with great snter-
est. for IL the United States succeeds in
getting settlement from this bad
debtor the other powers will demand the
immediate adjustment of their claims.
1t is understood here that the Anne erican
government actually has threatened to
send the Turkish minister, Ali Ferrouh
Bey, his passports unless the matter Is
quickly cleared up.
