WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. Is
Minister Leishman cabled the state de-
partment and he called at Turkish for
eign office again last night and pre-
scented American demands for immed-
late investigation Of the assassination
OF vice Consul Magellssn at Beireut
The minister Of foreign affairs while
denying all knowledge Of matters.
promised the Turkish government to
take immediate steps to find out and
punish the guilty. Leischman states
that the Macedonian conditions are
growing constantly more acute, and
the situation is extremely grave. In a
cablegram to Leischman last night re-
garding the report Of the American
board Of missions that an attempt has
been made to burn the Euphrates col
lege buildings at Harpoot, Acting Sec
rotary Loomis instructed him to de-
mand the Turkish government to take
immediate steps for the protection Of
the lives OF all Americans there.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 2S.--
President Roosevelt received tele-
gram today from the state department
transmitting him a cabled communica-
ton from the Turkish foreign offce,
disclaiming the responsibility for the
murder Of Consul Magellssen and ex.
pressed his regret that it should have
occurred. Secretary Hay arrived here
today to meet an engagement with the
president made prior to the receipt OF
the news Of Magellssen's assassina
tion. The president and secretary
considered the matter in all It's
phases.
Information at hand Is yet indefinite
but 1t is expected that the details from
an official source will be soon forth
coming.

Varied Industries building, and could

times the sum that was paid for the

Magnitude is, of course, not the high

some other qualities it does not signify
much. But it is not necessarily to be
treated with contempt. There are some
things besides fortunes that depend for

Is oeous aspect or rne question wnicn
should not De overlooked. Eiiezer, tine
servant. was the chief man in Abra-
hams household. In how many Amer
lean hous eholds. think you, is the cook
the principal functionary, upon whose
skin and proficiency the physical, apd
to a very large extent also the moral
condition of the family depends? There
.are. l will venture to affirm, hundreds
Of thousands Of homes in our large
cities. to say nothing Of as many more
III the towns and villages, whore the
detection or incapacity Of the cook or
lousebeeper would mean confusion
md misery. A good, honest, intelligent
cook is a conseryator of health and
happiness. Brillat Savarin once said
t.at he who invented Il now sauce was
q bouefactor to mankind. So the cook
who brightens your table with a well
ordered dinner and whose culinary
skill gives zest to appetite is a bene-
fuctor to the home. There are chefs,
m.nly Of them. who by rc1son'of thep
skill command salaries reaching no IN
10 the thousands of dollars. Ghey un-
Cerstand the chemistry of the kitchens;
thoy have made study of dietetics,
and their experience is quite as valu-
able to their employers as that of the
skilled physician. There is abundant
scope for ambition in the kitchen.
Advantage cf Domestic Service.
Another advantage offered by do
nestle service is that its surroundings
are purer The royal domestic is sub
jected to less temptations than are her
sisters who are earuinS their livelihood
in other walks of life. Queen Victoria
in Windsor castle for over fifty years
refused knowingly TO give audience TO
ans man or woman of impure and
wicked life a royal servant girl, il
she enters Il Christian home, can, as
queen. choose her own associates. She
cnn 20 with good people if she will.
The choice rests with her and with her
alone.
This statement is not always true In
reference 10 women who have 10 work
for their living outside of the four
walls of a home. Without they are
often compelled, even against their
wills. to inhale the yitiating atmos-
phere of sin They are often com
Delled to see sights which their eyes
ought never to behold and to hear say
incs which ought never to be heard
and 10 stand shoulder to shoulder with
moral lcpers. whose sins, if not con-
taeious. by too much association may
become fatally infectious. g Here. for
instance. is a young girl just arrived
from the country. She decides to enter
factory and become a day wage
Garner That factory has scores OF
girls whom she would never dare in
troduce to her old Christian mother.
THAT young girl within four weeks
service in that factory has seen and
heard more wickedness than she has
ever known before. Then this young
girl goes from her factory to her board-
ing house. Upon her small salary she
cannot afford to pay a very big board
Milford chronicle., 1903-07-31

gill The result IS that she lives in a
boarding house near her daily work.
Ihat boarding house in all probability
has young girls in it whose lives are
not what tEey ought to be. Seeing sin
by day and necessarily scoirg and
hearing about sin by night has hard
euins influence upon the young girl
soul. OF course, the Divine Protector
can and win preserve that young coun-
try girl true and pure and noble if She
keeps clinging TO tie omnipC,ont arm,
but without that supcrhuman aid the
moral tendency for the female worker
in the factory is downward. The life
there is in some respects the same as
that upon the theatrical stage, about
which noted actor once wrote, 'Ihe
saddest fact about my profession is
that the constant sccins Of what one
ought not to see has tendency to
blunt the moral scnsitiveness and blind
ones eyes to his moral duty and to
right"
Then consider the besetting tempta-
tons ready to greet the young girl who
applies for a position us clerk in Il
large downtown store. Parents, it is
high time that you fully realize there
are among the owners of large down
I town dry goods stores some who DO not
| expect their clerks to live upon their
salaries. There are hundreds and thou
sands of those young girls whose cost
| " dress proves that they are not living
npon their weekly wages. Everywhere
in those downtown stores sin stands
around with outstretched arms crying.
Come! Come and wear fine clothes!
I Come and be respected as you cannot
be in the kitchen or the nursery! Come
and have ycur nights to yourself.
I Come and see the brightest part of city
| life through the undimmed eyes Of
/ youth" And the young girls from the
country. by the hundreds and thou
sands are turning their backs upon the
refined employment of a domestic life
and iinging themselves into the whirl-
ing, brain destroying, heart crushing
maelstrom of temptation, where so
many have been destroyed forever.
The royal domestic should be among
the most honored of all women. Ii
| largely depends on her readiness to
perform her duties and her efficiency in
her service whether or no this country
is to be nation Of homes. God set
teth the solitary in families" or as you
could read it in the Bible margin, "God
setteth the solitary in a house" What
does that mean? Simply this: Every
ideal unit Of society should be a home.
What is an ideal home? A father and
a mother for the heads of the table,
children for the nursery, servants to
help provide for the domestic wants.
While the husband is off to business
the wife must be doing her work in the
house. But there is a limit to wife's
physical and mental capacities No av-
erage mother can perform her domestic
work without help. She cannot be
nurse and dressmaker and cook and
chambermaid and waitress and mar
keter all in one. She must have female
assistance. She must have a servant
or servants to aid her, or else she must
give up housekeeping. As a strange
and unaccounfable prejudice has gone
