Miss Tunstall was married in 1913 to
Clement Claiborne Clay, who was made
United States Senator in 1853 and who
retired, with his fellows from that august
body when the great storm of 1861 shook
the political welkin.
Mrs. Senator Clay was one OF the most
brilliant of the brilliant women of the
old regime in Washington. 1t Is diff

the fresh vitality of youth was queen
of perhaps twenty years before the war.

meetings will be conducted by Evangelist
Gordon, and will continue for three weeks.

malls of faith by Christians. Each speaker
was allowed a minute in which to give tes-

Christians must yield and trust in God ard
obey him II they hope TO gain salvation.
Christians must bear the responsibility OF
spreading the gospel and not rely upon the
church to DO 1t. Some people, he said. think
that II they give a dollar or two to charity
or go to church once in a while, they are
saved, but they are deceiving themselves
They must give themselves to God, body

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

Eel
Washington. June 1.-The Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry has had occasion to look into
the trade of rugs, and has made some in
teresting discoveries. The annual importa-
ton Of these rugs, the manufacture or
which forms one Of the most important
features in the industry and commerce OF
the Ottoman Empire. exceeds $4,000. and
includes about 5000 pieces.
OF late wears, however. the demand for
Turkish rugs has suffered a marked de-
cline. while Persian rugs have advanced in
popularity.
Il has been found that the decline in the
demand for Turkish rugs is chiefly due to
the marked inferiority OF the wool now en-
ployed in the rug-weaving districts The
best wool comes from the frontier between
Turkey and Persia, and. by some means,
the Persians have gotten control OF nearly
all the wool produced in this region, which
now goes TO the Persian rug-weaving ceu-
ward. The Sultan is lending every encour-
agement to those who have in hand the
construction Of the Bag6ad Railway, in the
hope that the new transportation facilities
