TURKS ARE AT IT AGAIN
Armenian Villages Burned and In
habitants Massacred in Sassoun.
Turkey Has Takcn Advantage OF
Russia's PfcOccupation I'm the
Far East to Have killing.

Paris, May 14.-An official dispatch
to the foreign office from Constantine
pie confirms the reports that Turkish
troops have burned villages through
out the Sassoun district of Armenia,
killing the Inhabitants The French
ambassador, M. Constans, has joined
with the Russian and British anbassa-
dors in sending copsuls to Erzeroum,
in the hope Of limiting the destruction
and bloodshed However, the official
advices, although Di:ef, indicate that
the work of exterminating the Ar
menians occupying, the mountainous
district of Sassodn is practically ac-
complished. The Turkish methods .ap-
pear to have been, much the same as
those adopted during the Armenian
massacres. The official reports do not
give exact details as to the number OF
towns burned and people killed, but
they show that the action of the Turks
has been sweeping. The French au-
thorities were advised some time ago
that Turkey was taking advantage Of
Russians preoccupation in the far
east and intended to adopt decisive
course toward the rebellious Arme-
mans. The information then showed
that the Turks would begin the work
Of suppression about April Is. In or
der to prevent this the powers made an
energetic protest. This delayed Tur-
keys action, which, however, has now
been executed with the same severity
as at first contemplated.

A Warning to Southern Girls.

The most stupendous and auda-
cious scheme which the world ever
witnessed is being organized and op-
Grated at this time to lure young
girls from the towns Of this and
other States into the dens of iniquity
in st. Louis. The matter has come
to light through the abortive at.
tempts of some of the agents of the
syndicate engaged in this traffic Of
iniquity, and the most determined
efforts to stop the practice are being
set on foot by the people of the city
of st. Louis, as well as those Of other
cities and towns where the syndicate
hopes to recruit its victims. The
plan of the syndicate is to procure
young women from the working
classes to come to st. Louis under
promise OF employment during the
Worlds Fair season, and then to
meet them at the depot in st. Louis
and conduct them to some brothel,
where their feet are set in the ways
Of ruin and their lives are hopelessly
wrecked before they can be reached
by any possible assistance.

PNEUMONIA IN NEW YORK
A Let-Up In New Cases Reported
A Campaign of Education on
the Terrible ScOurSe.

New York, May 14.-For the first
time since January officials of the
health department have been able TO
report a let up in new cases of pneu-
monia. There have been in Greater
New York more than 200 deaths each
week in this year--double the aver
age of the preceding year-the greatest
number reported being 81 for the
week ending March 5.
A campaign of education will at
once be put under way in the hope of
preventing recurrence of the scourge.
Recognition of pneumonia as a conta
gious disease is regarded as a step in
that direction, and next winter meas
ures will be undertaken at the outset
to prevent its gaining such foot
hold.

He HAD TACKLED

Anyone Could Interfere, Jumped

Drowned.

Buffalo, N. X, May 14.--A man be.
lieved to have been a New York stock
broker named Smell, jumped from
Cleveland and Buffalo steamer when
the vessel was about three hours out
from Cleveland Thursday evening. A
travelling man, who refused to give
his name, tells the following story OF
the suicide:
Told His story to n Drummer.
Il was sitting in the buffet about
10 o'clock when short, heavy, red.
faced man entered. We got into con.
versation and he told me his name
was Smell. He said among other
things that he was financially involved
to the extent of s165000, and that he
was going to kill himself because of
his trouble, He threatened three times
to take his life, and talked to him
and urged him not to do anything rash,
Threw Himself Overheard.
Il believed the man intended to kill
himself, however, so when we left the
buffet called the attention of couple
of deck hands to him. A minute or
two later | heard one of them cry
out that he had gone overheard. The
captain at once ordered life boat
lowered, and the steamer was brought
to a stop as quickly as possible"
Smell took no berth on the boat. He
went up to Cleveland on the same ves
sci from Buffalo Wednesday night.
The night patrols saw him around at
all hours on that trip so it is believed
he had no berth on that trip.
Never Intended to Reach Buffalo.
In the buffet Smell made the state.
ment that he had not taken state.
room or berth because he never in
tended to reach Buffalo. He told the
travelling man with whom he talked
that his financial trouble came
through dealings in cotton.
"The New York papers had long
story about my trouble few days
ago. said Smell 81 went up against
1t hard and the bad luck has broken
my nerve. Pm going to kill myself"
The body of the drowned man was

NOT A FARMING COUNTRY.
Gov. Brady's Reports, Says IN Alas

in Metals Only.

when people read that Alaska Is
capable of great agricultural develop

ment for rubbish and nonsense" said
Mr.. H. Bratnober, at the Arlington,
according to the Washington Post.
Alaska is one of the richest parts
of creation in the precious metals. and
that is all 1t Is fit for. The Lord
never intended it for a farming coun-
try, but Gov. Brady has for years, in
the indulgence of a hobby, been send
ing out reports of the wonderful
farming possibilities of the territory,
simply because he manages to reap

few of the hardest vegetables can
be produced in some special spot that
gets an unusual degree of sunshine,
but this Is about the limit.

were heartsick over their failure. 1t
is a shame to send out such delusivs

DRESS MATERIALS FOR SPRING
kight-WeiEht Yelling and Mohair,
to BE Followed by DimitEes, ORE
candies and Bafistcs.

AS regards the spring dress goods,
there are three materials which will lead
above all others. They are veilings,
weeds and mohairs. When an elabo-
ate costume is desired the lightweight
yelling smost in demand, says American
Queen. For less dressy occasions the
mohairs Will rule, while for tsilor-made
gowns and walking skirts, the Scotch
tweed has first place. The veilings this
spring will comprise only monotones in
the plain weayes; in mohairs solid col
ors will also be most sought for, though
neat effects in mohair suitings will also
be popular. In the tweeds there are
tinations to select from.
In the summer dress goods all sorts of
nuslin and light silks will be in vogue.
The new dimities, organizes and bstistes
are exquisitely pretty in color and design.
The colors are, generally speaking,
bright. A lovely clear green, a rose pink
and a delicate mauve are seen in stripes
and figures. The designs of some of
the batistes are not unlike those of old
fashioned linen lawns. Organizes seem
to run to large flowers in allover effects,
and the dimities to Dresden patterns.
An attractive dimity has a clear white
ground, over which a double stripe of
bright green is traced. The three-inch
space between the stripes is filed with
tiny dots Of black, rather far apart. A
cheerful puff dimity has small polka dots
of black over its surface. A beautiful
organdie has a black ground with a
smashing design of huge roses and leaves
in pastel tones of pink, red and green.
Silks Of soft construction, such as
peau de sole, peau de cygne, Standings,
natural and dyed, and soft-finish tat
fetas will undoubtedly rule. These silks
in plain and pin-dotted effects, hairline
checks, as we'll as small patterns in shep-
nerd plaids, will be made up into shirt
waists for spring wear.
Foulards will still be worn. The fact
is that for real use in the summer, wheth-
er it be a torrid or a humid one, there is
nothing more satisfactory to the wearer
than forl2rd.
Black and white, blue and white, and
brown and white are the leading favor
ties in the silk shirt waist suits. In
foulard the combinations continue to be
black and white, white and blue and
blue and white. The latter is mostly Of
the dark-blue shade, though some of
the lighter colorings on the order OF
robin's-egg blue are also being ordered.
This robin's-egg blue is also a favorite
color in linen, while all-white, cham
payne, pale green, dark brown and blue
will be in equal favor.

planned.
COINED the union!" she cried.
"Yes; had to do it; so we'll have to
spend this money in a hurry, if we don't
want to get the worst of it."
"Why?" she persisted.
ooh, I'll be on strikes of one kind OF
another most OF the time now" he said,
land when I'm not striking I'll be pay
ing strike benefits. The money is bound
to go, and l want to be in a position to
get as much out of the union as anyone.
If I have money in the bank, there will
be no strike benefit for me when I'm
ordered to quit work. You don't need
IT, they'll say, for you've got money.
We can only afford to make payments
to those who haven't any You see.
there's a penalty to put thrift and a
premium on shiftlessness. The man
who saves has to pay himself for time
lost at the order of the union, and the
man who doesn't save gets the help.
In a year from low our money will be
gone, anyhow, SO we might as we'll spend
it while we can get some personal adj
vantage out of It, and then come in on
ever terms with the othersfor the strike
benefits. It's the fellow who hasn't any
thing, and never expects to have any
thing who gets the advantage. Take the
money, Maggie, before it gets beyond
reach. You helped to save it, and the
union will only help us spend 1t, II you
don't do 1t first"
