MIR. BaSmnjian'S Lecture

.'Ai' - Lecture
Rev. MIR. Basmajian, an Ar
mnnian, who came 70 this country
about thirteen years ago that he
might become nuturulized citizen
to return home and preach the
Gospe! to his people under the
protection Of the American FLAG,
preached two very interesting
sermons here last Sunday to large
congregations, and lectured in the
court house monday night, illus
trating his lecture with magic
lantern pictures, on the customs,
manners and sufferings of the Ar
menlans. His talks are all inter-
esting, and with magic lantern
pictures of scenes. etc. from his
native land he makes his lectures
very entertaining. Armenia, said
Mr.. b., Is about rs large as the
two Carolinas, is under the con-
troI Of Russia, Turkey and Persia,
and has a population of three and
n half million The Armenians are
scattered over the earth, about
Is, 600 being in America, and here
as at home, he stated, they are
peaceable and Iaw-abiding people.
Their word is taken everywhere
except in the courts of Turkey
where, said the speaker, a calf's
testimony stands higher. Arr
menia claims the honor of having
been the site of the Garden of
Eden, beng traversed b., the
Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Noah's Ark aligh.ed in Armenia
on Mt. Arrarat, of which the Ar
menians are very proud. AS to
religious customs, the people are
great church -gocrs, though there
are no seats or windows in the
churches. The people sit on the
church floor, the women in the
galleries, and listen to singing and
scripture reading for five consecu-
tive hours, though they do not
understand what is being read,
the Bible being in classic Armen.
ian while the common people
speak modern Armenian. Hats
are retained on the head while
shoes are left at the church door,
and as there are thousands of at
tendants, exchanges are often
made in footwear involuntarily.
In the course of his remarks
Mr.. Basmaj Jan took occasion to
compliment the United States,
saying that had his country been
situated near here the atrocities of
the Turks would have been
stopped. The lecture was inter
spersed with singing in Arme-
nian and English.

| Everything is in readiness for the big
event at Music hall Tuesday evening
The National Ethiopian Amusement
company direct from Madison Square
Garden will be in town on that date
at the big hall, and the show and the
fun will be much bigger than the hall.
The judges for all the different events,
including the cake walk, have been
chosen, but for various reasons their
names will be kept secret for few
days No entertainment of this mag
nitude has ever been seen outside of
New York city and all those who attend
can feel assured that this will be the
big event of a life time There will be
more varieties of dancing, singing, and
walking than have ever before been
concentrated in one entertainment. The
jubilee will be another big feature and
at the present day coon songs are all
the rage in the parlors of the ultra
fashionable set, as well as among the
street urchins, who are always first at
grasping at the popular melodies. To
realize the MAGNITUDE of this entertain
ment just imagine fifty dusky enter
tainers of both sexes, each trying to
out do the other in their various ambi-
tons as cake walkers, singers and dane
ers, all working for the splendid prizes
to be offered. In order to give the local
walkers a chance to show their talent,
the management has decided to give a
special walk in which all the local ex-
perts can show their cleverness at their
fascinating form of amusement. Elk
ira prizes will be offered for these COM
petitors.

NOT VERY ELEGANT.
Worked Like a Cows Cud.

A gentleman in Northampton, Mass,
who requests that his name be kept
from print, had curious experience
with coffee drinking. He states that
when he was accustomed to the use IF
coffee he would, after every meal, belch
up gas and more or less coffee would
come with it. A part of it would run
back down his throat, and, as he says
Initiating in a way the manner Of a
COW chewing cud. He deprecates the
inelegant Illustration, but knows Of no
other way to explain the condition.
He says further that he was puzzled
for a very long time to account Cor
sallow complexion and bilious condition,
with a heavy, dull miserable feeling af-
ter the meals, and no medicines or
treatment would remove the difficulty.
"a friend warned me that coffee was
the cause of my trouble, but l could
not bring myself to believe this, until
after a time l made the experiment Of
leaving off coffee altogether and took
UP Postum Food Coffee.
ITO my surprise, the ills all quickly
stole away and l am now healthy and
in prime condition. 1 know what | am
talking about when l say that With
some people coffee causes belching CT
gas and some most disgusting and dis
agreeable features. 1t also causes
headaches. constipation, blotches and
jaundice, with a general upsetting and
breaking down of the nervous system, if
persisted in. I know also that these
troubles will disappear when coffee is
given up and Postum Cereal Food Cot
fee used in its place"
The name of this gentleman will be
furnished by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, Battle Greek, Mich, upon appli-
cation.
