UNITED STATES AND TURKEY
How the MOslems Were Brought to
Book Indemnity
Claim.

Several years ago. when Turkish
mobs were numbering Armenians in
Asia Minor, they looted and burned
the buildings of Euphrates college at
Harpoot. There was no one to take
up the cause of the Armenians; but
Euphrates college was an American
institution, established by American
money and carried on by American
missionaries, says Youths Compan-
ion.
The destruction of this property
and of similar property at Marash be-
came the basis for claim for indemn-
ed States Immediately brought
against Turkey, and has been pressing
at intervals ever since. 1t was long
time before the sultan was induced to
admit responsibility, and a longer
time before he was brought to the
point of promising payment. But in
the Turkish scheme of affairs, promise
and performance are often long way
apart.
A few weeks ago the battleship Ken
lucky dropped anchor off Smyrna, and
her commander went to Constanti-
NOBLE to visit the American charge
daffaires. While he was there the
long standing account was settled;
not directly, but under cover of con-
tract for building cruiser in the
United States, the missionary claims
being figured into the contract price.
About this time a new question
arose. The Turkish government re-
fused to give it's exequatur, or official
recognition, to DIR. Norton, whom the
United States had appointed consul at
Harpoot. If it had objected to him as
persona non grata, it's objection must
have sufficed, and a new consul would
have been designated; but its objec-
ton was to recognizing any consul
there. Turkey is bound by treaty to
allow American consulates to be es-
| tablished wherever commerce re-
quires them, but it holds that there is
no commerce at Harpoot 1t is also
bound by treaty to give the United
| States the same treatment as the
"most favored nation;" and as it has
| recognized a British consul at Har.
poot, the American claim for a consul
there rests both on treaty and prece.
dent.
Turkey pursued the same course
when the United States commissioned
consul at Erzeroum, another mis-.
sionary and educational center in
Asia Minor, where large numbers Of
Armenians were massacred. But the
consul went to Erzeroum notwith
standing, and DIR. Norton has gone te
Harpoot.

COALING APPARATUS.
Battleshfp Illinois to Be Equipped
by an Improved Device Invent
ed by Spencer Miller.

Spencer Miller, inventor of a proc
ess for coaling warships under way at
sea in storm or calm, has been ordered
by the navy department to equip the
new battleship Illinois with the ap-
paratus. The collier supplying the
warship will be taken in tow by it
and coal-filled bags will be passed over
cables stretched from the foremost
of the collier to the military mainmast
of the battleship. Winches that will
do all the work of the Illinois, but
which are especially constructed for
operating the coaling apparatus, will
be substituted for the ordinary ones.

VALUABLE HISTORIC RELIC.
NashingtOn's Sword to Be Sold ~
Descendant for the Sake OF .
Pretty Baby.

Miss Virginia Lewis, who has at last
consented to sell the sword of WASH
ington, for which she once refused
$50, 900, was turned from her desire to
keep it by the prattlings of baby, and
that baby is certainly entitled to the
money, if blood counts for anything.
Mrs. Grace Lee Lewis Mann is the
mother of the baby, and the niece OF
Miss Lewis, who set out for Baltimore
little while ago to sell the sword.
Miss Lewis has already negotiated by
mail and in person with the MetroPol-
itan museum of New York, but the
museum disagrees with her in mat
ter of $4,000. She wants 100000 for
the heirloom, and it's offer has not yet
gone above the half of that price, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t certainly has accomplished about
enough for one sword already. 1t at
tended to the settling of some French
men and some Indians in a very neat
manner, and later on it showed the
British trick or two. 1t might have
earned a rest by this time, one would
think, but no. 1t is to bring neat
price that Baby Mann may have what
her mother calls more mice things"
when she grows up.
The line by which Mrs. Mann traces
her connection with George Washing
ton is long one, full of distinguished
people. She is to join the Society of
Colonial DANES. A lot of people
would give their eyes to be able to
squeeze into the Danes by even one
ancestor: two makes you distin-
pushed member. Look at the names
on Mrs. Mann's applications:
On the paternal side she claims lin
cal descent from Hon. John Lewis,
Hon. Augustine Darner, Col. Lawrence
Washington, Col. Augustine Washing
ton, Col. Fielding Lewis. On the ma
ternal side she claims lineal descent
from Gov. Samuel Ogle, Gov. Benjamin
Tasker, William Baden, Col. John
Tayloe, Hon. Henry Corbin.
Any one of these ancestors would
entitle her to become member of the
| Colonial Danes. All of them together
make her tenfold a member, and that
is more than enough for one 17-year-
old woman. But she has the further
audacity to have George Washington
for her great-great-great-g randuncle.
| This comes through the marriage OF
Col. Fielding Lewis and Elizabeth
Washington, the presidents sister.
When Mrs. Mann was baptized the
water with which she was sprinkled
was contained in Washington's punch
bowl. When the baby was baptized a
year ago the same punch bowl made
the trip from Baltimore to serve as q
| font for her.
To this same small Betty Washing
ton Mann is to come the heritage O
the price of the ancestral sword. L
was exhibited at the worlds fair, ant
Miss Lewis was offered $4,000 for it
Later on it went to Tiffany's, and it
owner refused much larger sum TO
it. She has set her valuation at 500,
900 and that price she has determine
shall come to California to the littl
grandniece of the distinguished line
age.

Telegraph Pole. Not Needed.

Consul General Guenther, of Frank

state. says that, according to expert
ments conducted by 8. Jansen on
Mont Blanc, it is not necessary to erect
poles for stringing telephone and tele-
graph wires in snow-covered countries.
If the snow is several inches thick it
,erves as good iasulator, the wires can

with equally favorable results were
made on Mount Aetna.

When Thomas Hart Benton, the noted
Missourian, wrote his famous work, 'Thir.
ty Years in the United States Senate,
which everyone praises and no one reads,
his publishers wrote to him asking how
large first edition should be printed. His
reply was: "Sir: They can ascertain from
the last census how many persons there are
in the United States who can read, sir. y
And that was the only suggestion he would
ever condescend to make. Benton was
massive in body and muscular. No man in
public life was his equal in physical strength,
endurance and courage. In reference to
a quarrel in the senate, he once said: Il
never quarrel, sir; sometimes fight, sir;
and when Benton fights, sir, there is al
ways funeral, sir."-Chicago Chronicle.

SONS OF THF SOUTH.

For the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Sons of the South today arise
And honor your heroic dead,
Who fell under the bonnie blue skies
When every Southern heart was bled.
Scatter the sweet flowers of spring
Over their last long resting place;
Their virtues we will talk and sing,
While lasts one Of the Old South race.
Grand in their prime they went to war,
Not for conquest or thirst for blood,
But scenting danger from afar,
An invading host they withstood.
Their manly breasts opposed the flood,
That on their institutions came;
Nor trembled at the sight of blood,
Nor fingered when their hopes seemed
vain.
Unequal was the great contest,
Interior men would have quailed
Bravely they barred their manly breasts,
Their constitutions were assailed.
They thought their constitutions right,
To their foes they had done no wrong;
They died before invading might,
They live in patriotic song.
The cause for which they bled and died,
In an unsettled state remains;
Shall state rights forever abide,
Or Imperialism reign2
They died but their cause still survives,
Future generations will know
That their rights have been kept alive
By blood which from martyrs did flow.
Sleep on, braves, you died not in vain
Your martyr blood is still the seed
That will spring up in us again,
In our loved country greatest need.
A union of many in one,
"E Pluribus Unumn we love,
But above the many the one,
Can never de6antly move.
