CONDITIONS IN ARMENIA
Consul Norton Describes the Destitu-
ton and Apprehension of Massacre

Mr.. Norton United States consul at Har-
put, reports to the State Department in a
dispatch dated August 8, 1904, that he has
visited Bftlis and was then in Moush in
Turkey in Asia. He says that the gov
ernor general of the latter province paid
him a visit on his arrival and offered him
an escort to visit the Sassun mountains if
he desired.
The consul states that the district of
Sassun is tranquil and pacified, and the
strategic points are garrisoned by infantry
detachments and permanent barracks
erected. The survivors of the massacre
are in a destitute condition, but are at
tempting to rebuild their burned villages
with government aid. The consular corps
at Bitlis estimates the number massacred
and dead from exposure and hunger, ete,
at $500 The American colony at Bitlis
appears to be in no present or prospective
danger.
In the Moush district insurgents have
adopted a guerrilla form of warfare, am
buscading troops and bodies of Kurds.
They demand certain reforms which con-
Germ chiefly matters of local administration
and economic questions not involving the
integrity of the empire. A number of VIII
lagos have been plundered and burned,
and many persons killed and maltreated,
and another massacre is daily expected by
the Armenian population. which is in des-
titute circumstances. About $4,000 have
lost everything belonging to them and
are starving, many being i'll and wounded
Small contributions toward their relief
have been received through the Ameri-
can board of commissioners for foreign
missions at Bitlis, but much more is ur-
gently needed the conditions being similar
to those in Macedonia last year.

Some that protest against the cruelty of
cook-fighting have nothing to say against
the wanton slaughter of pigeons in shoot

cocks ready to fight and men longing TO
look on. We are not defending the So
called sport; we recognize the facts. Cock
fighting has been almost universal
amusement Themistocles is said to have
encouraged his soldiers by pointing out to
them the valor of two cocks, who fought,
not for the household gods, not for tombs
of ancestors, but only because the one
would not give way to the other. Phloso-
pliers have sat about the pit, and thereby
pointed morals in academic grooves, al
though Mr.. William Pulleyn never heard
of but one imaginative person who was

is his. and so strange are the ends which
these ck-fghters come to, that he is now

sity' Monarchs and rousta bouts. grave
and elderly persons, as Roger Ascham, and
confirmed sports, all alike find pleasure in
the pit. Did not Beckman consider cock
fighting worthy of chapter in his His
tory of Inventions?" Foot bail and the
cockpit have been favorite amusements of
the English for centuries, and there is
hardly a nation civilized or barbarous that
has not enjoyed the sight of cock battling

A Cigar From King Edward.

From the Liverpool Post
One of King Edwards little human weak
nesses is said to be fondness for Witness
ing a fire.
A writer in the Peoples Friend tells OF
him that, when he was Prince of Wales.
one evening on hearing the rush of fire en-
gines passing, he followed them to see their
operations.
While looking on, he entered into CONVEX
sation with a reporter. who was taking
notes of the occurrence and when about to
return home again he drew out his cigar
case and offered the reporter cigar, which
he willingly accepted. and, tearing out a
leaf from his notebook, proceeded carefully
to roll it up.
On the prince asking the reason for his
doing so, he replied: II may never again
have the honor of receiving a cigar from
your highness, and should like to keep this
one as a souvenir"
The prince observed: you know me,
then / did not think I should be recog-
nized," and, again producing his cigar case,
said: ''Will you have a cigar?"
The reporter, nothing loath, accepted
again the kind invitation, the prince re-
marking as he did so, But to smoke this
time.
