.lNOTH Err NOTE 10 TURKEY.
United States Insists Upon n Prompt
Settlement

Constantinople, Tuesday, May 22.-
The United States legation having
vainly waited four weeks for a reply
to the note of April "a regarding the
American indemnity claims, Lloyd c,
Griscom, United States charge DAT
faires, yesterday handed to Tewfik Pa
sha, minister of foreign affairs, a new
note, couched in more precise terms,
and insisting upon prompt settlement.
The note produced great impression,
as the porte thought that the matter
had been postponed, if not abandoned.
1t is believed that the United States
will not wait so long this time for an
answer, Americas indulgence thus far
not having made satisfactory impress
ison upon the porte.

The police wagon, with two officers,

Washington May 23.-Beyond the
statement that the department Is still
earnestly prosecuting the indemnity
claims against the Turkish government
the officials of the state department de-
cline to indicate the character of the
last instructions sent to Griscom in
relation to these claims Therefore it
is to be assumed that the Constantine
pie dispatch accurately sets out the
character of the communication. 1t is
certainly not an ultimatum but is be-
lieved to be as strong in it's represen-
tations as a diplomatic note could be
made without actually becoming an ui-
timatum. 1t is probable that before
taking this step the president might
call upon congress, the war making
power for an indication of it's wish in
the matter, so as to ensure full sup
port in the execution of any policy
which he may feel called upon to
adopt The fact that this last note to
Mr.. Griscom was cabled the very day
that Ahmed Pasha landed In New York
reputedly clothed with some mission in
connection with these missionary
claims has given rise to a belief here
that the United States government will
not give its sanction to any such COM
promise of the claims as has been sug-
geSted.

Peculiar Oaths.

In Assam, the Nagas in taking an
oath proceed as follows: Two men
take hold of a dog by the head and
feet, then with a single blow it is cut in
twain with chopper, this being en-
blematic of the fate in store for the
false swearer.
Similarly chorplng off cocks head
Is said to be the most solemn way of
getting Chinaman to swear truly.
Judging, however, from witnesses in
the police courts, there appear to be
several ways of taking an oath in
China. One is by witness breaking
q saucer and declaring that if he did
not speak the truth his soul would be
broken like the saucer; while another
is blowing out lighted candle, his
soul being blown away like the light
if he failed to speak the truth.
Many of the jungle tribes of India
swear upon tigers skin, as they
believe that then false witness is sure
to become food for tigers. Some
Hindus think it better to be sworn
while standing on lizards skin, and
invite the scaliness. of that reptile to
come upon them if they forswear
themselves; others take he oath over
an anthill, with the imprecation that if
they swear falsely they may be reduc-
ed to powder.

VANITY OF INSANE WOMEN.
They Have a Remarkable Liking fm
Bright Colors.


It is curious fact that many in
sane women are possessed with an in
satiable vanity and mania for @@make.
up" says the Lone don Express.
Sometimes the only way ookeep
the peace with such patients is to al
low them a certain freedom 10 the
use Of cosmetics.
A wave Of unmanageableness often
passes over the women's side of an
asylum if the material of a new uni
form dress deserves the title of
dowdy. o.
Many insane women will tear
somber brown gown to shreds. But
if it is pretty blue or a smart red
they preserve it carefully against
spots and dust.
The effect that dress has on the
insane is so well known that the
lunacy commissioners make special
comments in their official reports to
the lord chancellor on the colors and
material of the gowns supplied to
women in the various asylums.
Very clever devices to obtain cos
metics are resorted to by patients in
fected with the mania Of vanity who
have been accustomed to artificial
aids to beauty.
They soak paper in water and use
the tinted result as cheek reddener.
Or they put the red covers of books
borrowed from the asylum library in
a basin of boiling water and bottle
the carmine fluid for future face use.
Fresh flowers of reddish tinge are
crushed and used Oh faded cheeks
and wrinkled skins
One former beauty. now in an asy-
lum, is perfectly immovable so long
as she is allowed to wear curly false
fringe and to use a modified amount
Of rouge and powder. If these are
taken away she becomes suicidal and
refuses to eat.
Another notable example is that of
an old woman with gray hair who be-
comes homicidal when she is deprived
of beautiful golden wig suited to a
girl of II. The experiment was tried
once, but so much violence resulted
that the commissioner recommended
that she should be allowed to retain
her headdress.
Before admission to the asylum
she had poisoned three persons. But
the wig and plenty of pink powder
keep her peaceable and cohteuted.

Passed Away.

DIED-At her home in Hutchinson.
Kans., at 800 a. M, Sunday, Deem
Der 9th, 1900. Blanche Kelley. wife Of
VIM. Kelley. Deceased was the daugh
ter of Captain c. Norton, of Hoisington.
and sister to Mrs. Ed. S. Marx of this
city, Mrs. ]. ]. Chapel of Pueblo,
Colo, and Frank and Morrell Norton
of Verbeck, this county. Concerning
her death the Hutchinson Daily News
of the nth inst. says:
The death of Mrs. William Kelley &C.
Cured at her home at No. 2z9 Avenue
B. east. yesterday morning at about
o'clock. She had been in poor health
for the past few years and sank rapidly
during the two weeks preceding her
death, from heart trouble. Mrs. Kelley
was SO years of age and was the wife
of William Kelley of the milling firm of
Kelley 6 Carr. She came here about
three years ago with her husband from
Great Bend, which was her girlhood
home and where she was married to
Mr.. Kelley. Her maiden name was
Blanche Norton. Mrs. Kelley's life
was an example of true Christian
womanhood. Her devotion as wife
and mother especially impressed her
intimate acquaintance, and her char
acter was one which shed good in
fluence upon all who knew her. She
possessed completeness of self control,
steadfastness of purpose. an even
ness of disposition which is rarely met
with.
Before coming to Hutchinson, Mrs.
Kelley was member of the Congre.
gational church at Great Bend. Her
church was not represented here and
she united with the Presbyterians, be-
coming member of the First Presby-
terrain church. She was deeply devoted
to the religion of Christ and was an
earnest worker in the church.
Mrs. Kelley leaves husband and
two young sons to whom her loss will
be irreparable. The kindest sympathy
that can flow from human hearts goes
out to them from their friend who bow
with them in submission before the will
of The Omnipotent. Theirs IS the
greatest loss and the deepest sorrow
that can befall happy household. but
although death has caused an absence
in the home, there is an infuence,4eft
which will ever be enthroned in the
hearts of those who are left behind,
heavenly presence which will ever
comfort and guide. Il AI'
The funeral will be held this evening
at 80 O'Clock from the home on Ave.
nue. b. east. The services will be con-
