TURKS EXPATRIATED.
Naturalized Americans Barred From
the Empire

1t is now practically impossible for for
ner Turkish subjects to regain entrance
into Turkey, according to dispatch from
the United States minister at CONSTANT
nople made public by the State Depart
ment yesterday
Since the attempt made on the life of the
sultan last summer. Mr.. Leishman states
in his dispatch, the severity of the enforce
ment of the order against the readmission
of former Turkish subjects has steadily in
creased, as Turkish officials believe Ar
men!an revolutionists and their sympatfdz-
ers were responsible for the attempted as
sassination. Consequently all Turkish sub
jects who have announced their allegiance to
any other power are looked upon with sus-
pcion and cannot obtain temporary per-
mission to revisit Turkey.

chlnaman Paid for a Wedding Outfit
and a Watch "Vou No Keep Your

The wiles OF a woman cost H. S. Chang,
proprietor Of the Chinese laundry on FL
hot street, a large sum of money Monday
and Tuesday. The woman was Mrs.
Frank Tenney Of Puuney. and through her
visit to Brattleboro she became richer by
a watch, hat and blue silk gown. Chang
is richer in experience Eliminating the
details of how they became acquainted, to
shorten the story, Chang bought the wom-
an practically a wedding outfit and late
Tuesday afternoon he called on Justice
w. S. Newton for a marriage license,
leaving Mrs. Tenney at his place of bus
mess. On his return he found his rooms
deserted and straighrway he fastened to
the railroad station. Seated in car on
the $50 train which was nearly ready to
start was his inamorata complacently
surveying her new possessions. Like a
whirlwind Chang dashed into the car.
you no keep you promise" said he, and
with this he snatched the watch from her
and started for the car door Several
travellers who did not understand the sit
uation stopped Chang, while the woman
expressed her Indignation in highly COL
ored language. The train started before
the couple had adjusted their differences
and Chang was obliged TO ride to Dunn
merston. The travelling men were so in
sistent that he gave back the watch to
Uhe woman.
This was not Mrs. Tenney's first eXper-
fence in Brattleboro. on May 49, 1905, she
landed several blows on Policeman Ellis
C. Worden's jaw at the railroad station.
She was swearing so picturesquely and
was IN such a condition that the officer
put her aboard the train. and Immediately
she smashed a window. cutting her hand,
Then the officer took her OF the train
and in this operation she knocked off his
chapeau and punched him in the face.
She was carried to the Brooks House,
where a physician gave her drug after
she had sent n few blood-curdling yells
ringing down the corridors. She left at
5 o'clock the next morning.

LOCK YOUTH IN "A PIG Sly
French Peasant Takes Unusual and
Revolving Method Of Caring
for Idiot Son. q.

London.-From ST. Nazaire comes
news of an almost incredible atrocity
committed by farmer In the neigh
borhood on the person Of one Of his
sons, who Is now % years Of age. The
unfortunate man is said to have been
put into an empty pig sty on Christ
mas day and kept there until this
present date In state of the most
revolving filth. The meager fare al
lowed him was passed through an
aperture and he was bound and hand
cuffed all the time. Once a day the
wretched victim was taken out for an
hours exercise, being led, still man
acled, by rope, as if he were some
savage brute. It is added that when
the gendarnies visited the farmer he
related these miserable facts with an
air Of the utmost unconcern, explain
ing that the unhappy wretch was idi-
otto and that as he required careful
supervision he had thought this the
simplest course to adopt The rest
of the family sat by and listened with
extraordinary indifference, not appear
ing to realize the enormity of this
sequestration. The judicial authori-
ties at st. Nazaire are going to pay
a visit to the premises and in the
meanwhile sharp watch is being kept
on this extraordinary family. s +

DIG UP HISTORIC CANNON.
Famous Gun Was Thrown Overheard
from British Ship During the
Revolution. p.

Palermo, N. J.-There has just been
dug up here and removed to Ocean City
a cannon with revolutionary his
tory. For more than a century it had
done duty as fender on the Marshall
property, on what is known as the
Cannon and Shore road, where it had
been placed by Uriah Smith, an early
settler of the county, and who owned
the property at that time. While the
cannon had long been famous in that
section, little was known of it's history,
and H. L. Stafford, of this place,
looked it up. T.
From BARRIERS history of Cape May
county he learned that the cannon was
one of the IL thrown overheard from
the British brigantine Delight, which
went ashore in fog on Peck's Beach,
on June @, 1779 The local militia took
possession of the vessel and sent it's
crew under guard to Philadelphia. The
cannon, cast of to tighten the ship in
an effort to get off the beach, was
found by Smith and placed at the
corner of his land for fender.
