Successful Diplomacy.

The State Department has received
the amount of the American indemnity
for the claims against Turkey, S95. 600
| through the American legation at Con
Stantinople.
The money was paid by the Turkish
government to Mr.. Leishman, our min
lister at ConStantinople was by him
placed in the Ottoman Imperial bank
and drafts remitted for the amount

ington. AS is always the case, the
claims in the aggregate considera bly,
exceed the amount of indemnity actu-
ally paid. but our government has ex-
pressed itself satisfied with the pay
ment. 1t assumes full responsibility
for the distribution, the Turkish gov
ernment paying down lump sum of
S95, 900 and leaving it to the State De-
partment to distribute it among the
claimants. at its discretion and after
its own fashion. 1t is stated that as
soon as the department officials can
prepare the list it will communicate
directly with the claimants
These claims are principally based
on losses suffered by the American
missionary and educational institu-
tions in Turkey, notably those at Har-
poot and Marash, but there are num-

fortunate Cyclist LEM. the Pittsburg
man who was killed by Turkish SOL
diers while attempting to go around
the globe on his wheel
The State Department officials feel
the greatest satisfaction at the settle
ment of these claims. Secretary Hay
had been told by diplomats skilled in
the ways of Oriental diplomacy and ex-
perienced in the political conditions of
southern Europe. that he never would
be able to collect them. Among other
difficulties the State Department had to
contend with was the jealousy of the
great European powers. most of whom
had claims against Turkey vastly
larger in amount than ours. and whose
total was beyond the ability of the
Turkish government to meet
For more than a decade the Ameri-
can claims have been pending. Minis

went over to collect them. expecting to
be so engaged only a short time, but
he returned unsuccessful, after several
years in Constantinople. Then Minis
ter, Strauss took them up, and when
he resigned he passed them along to
young Mr.. Griscom. The latter only
recently committed his heavy charge
to Mr. Leishman. and while to the lat

lecting the money, it Is said at the
State Department that every one Of

Felt Her Case Was Hope
~. 1ess-Cured by
Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 3Srd st., Minneapolis, Mimi.
as follows:
Il suffered for years with a pain in
the small Of my back and right side.
1t interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and 1 never supposed
that l would be cured. as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately member Of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave 1t
such high praise that decided to try
1t. Although l started in with little
faith, felt SO much better In week
that felt encouraged.
Il took 1t faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more Is the best thing l could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy
that now."-Minnie E. McAllister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found In
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and nc
druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus 1t is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations oi
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without doubt.

Unexplored Lands Near Philadelphia.
There are parts of New Jersey within
a very short distance of Philadelphia,
too, which, strange as it may seem,
are but little more known today than
they were 200 years ago. In fact, there
are portions of the pine Barrens'
which have never known the tread of
a white man. It is this wilderness
that party of naturalists-Mr. Stone
as chief and Messrs. REIN and Cog
gins as assistants, are starting out to
explore. Starting from Medford they
make a circuitous route, camping as
best they can for seven nights, and
returning to Medford with their col
lections. In a certain sense of the
word, this expedition is only prelim-
mary to others of a more extended ma
ture which may follow. Work in this
region must be done by small parties
returning frequently to some base of
supplies, as food is nearly unobtain-
able and transportation of heavy loads
of specimens impossible. The expe-
dition will make observation upon the
soil and water supply and collect all
manner of plants and animals, which
will be turned over to eminent special
lists for identification.

little room in. Rue Servandoni. In
the summer time she had usually
taken the letter into the Jardin du

clothes were too shabby and unat-

tnere was nun-like steadiness in the
gaze of her deep gray eyes that dis

wont to tease unattended girls. For

The dwellers in the north of Europe
have always been remarkable for their
use of the beard. This, of course, is due
to the cold temperature Of those re-

happiness in his new home and new
relations:
"Married, Sunday morning at 10
o'clock, Mrs. M. B. Harris, of this city,
to Mr.. j. II. James, from Columbia,
Tenn. The wedding took place at the
brides beautiful home on East street
and was witnessed by only a few rela-
tives, Rev. L. A. Webb officiating.
While the event was in the nature of a
surprise, it was none the less pleasant
to their many friends, and was the &C.
casion for hearty congratulations and
best wishes from friends, both at home
and abroad. Mr.. James, up to a few
weeks since, was citizen of Columbia,
Tenn, and had been engaged in bust
ness at that place for number of years,
but having disposed of his business in
terests there, will make Henderson his
home. He is a gentleman in every APP

has honored him in accepting him as a
