police and that makes the work of run ming down these murderous bands almost impossible. Abroad the police are looked upon as part of the tyrannical govern ment and that is what the immigrants came to the land of liberty to escape.
 The police have made hundreds of ar rests for Black Hand outrages in the last two years, but secured few convictions. Witnesses are afraid to testify. How many men are paying weekly blackmail rather than live in constant terror of as- sassination by the Black Hand will never be known.
 Sicilys murderous oath-bound band of criminals Is called the Mafia. Naples produced a secret organization whose members were sworn to commit murder when their governing council decided on the death of a man. Both orders have been transplanted to New York. Neopol- itan criminals constitute the Camorra; ; the Sicilians who live by crime make up the membership of the Mafa. When there is a clash between members of the two societies there is but one outcome-mur- der.
 The cut-throats from Sicily who have joined the Camorra. here are blackmailers and assassins. There are three grades in the society. First comes the ruling power known as the Camorrista; then the ex- ecutioners, and third the youths who are beine. trained in crime. The men who are elected to the grade of executioners hope some day to rise to be Camorrista, and at council meetings when some person is sentenced to death one of them usually steps forward and asks the privilege of committing the murder. He brides him. self on his daring.

and the metropolitan district, afford a problem which the international con gress held in Rome nine years ago con fessed its inability to deal with effec- lively. This congress was called for the purpose of devising some joint scheme on the part of civilized nations for combating the evil. Nothing was accomplished owing to the fear on the part of the governments of Italy France, England and the United States of restricting political liberty in any manner. Not long afterward, an an- archist who had lived within twenty miles of the city hall in New York, murdered King Humbert by way of punishment for having accorded the hos pitality of his capital to congress organized with view to the suppress sion of the Reds.
 The most practical suggestion for tn e suppression of the anarchists was put forward by Prince Bismarck at the time of the assassination of President Carnot He said that anarchy in Eu- rope and America should be treated as was thuggery in India, not as polit- ical creed but as a cult of crime. Bts- marck insisted that 1t was hopeless to dream of suppressing the anarchists so long as the various governments were debarred from arresting and pun ishing men and women for merely be- longing to the movement and were com pelled to wait until they had perpe- trated some outrage before being brought to justice.
 Bismarck argued that anarchism is an association formed with the ayowed object of outrage and murder; that there is nothing political about it ex- cept it's cloak; that 4e Is entirely crimi- nal, and that membership in the or ganization should be punished in the same way as if it were an ordinary felonious conspiracy. His ideas were not adopted only few months ago 300 anarchists met in hall in Forsyth street on the fifth anniversary of Pres ident McKinleys assassination and lauded Czolgosz as martyr. Then they abused the police and cried, Long live anarchy" and the police cleared the hall and were jeered and hooted by crowd of several thousand persons in the street.

NEW YORK THEATRICAL LETTER

K EW YORK, August S.-(speclal)-
 NJ The actors are coming back 10 town, and soon the Rialto will be crowded with greater and lesser lights of the stage. The calls have gone forth and every stage in the city is occupied by companies rehearsing for the coming season. Not only are all the stages in use, but large halls have been rented for the purpose of getting companies into shape, and there is much hustle and hur- ry in spite of the midsummer heat.
 Owing to the continuation of prosperity throughout the land. managers predict most successful season. There will be elaborate productions. cheap productions and classical and sensational productions. but all expect to do a record business. Every year the number of theatres is increasing, and 1t would surprise the uninitiated to know how many thousands of men depend on the stage for a living. It is a big army, and a hard working one, for nowadays managers demand 'the goods"
 The season in New York will start early Wallacks will ring up the cur tain or. August D. with "The Time, the Place, and the Girl" 1t is said to con tain fun and music and pretty girls. This is a combination that even New York can stand, though the thermometer Is about 90 degrees. Some of the cheap stock companies. or 1 should say stock companies playing at 10, 20 and 20 cents, will start in next Saturday. They cater to good people who cannot afford to spend the summer at Newport or In the mountains, and have 10 remain in town and demand amusement. So even though the season opens early- the stock com panies expect to do good business. The theatres will be cooled with electric fans, and tired mothers can check their babies and enjoy the show.

The Hunchakist society, or rather that faction of it which has been engaged in blackmailing wealthy Armenian mer- chants in New York, has escaped public attention until recently because such was the terror it inspired that the victims were afraid to complain to the authorities.
 The society was started in 1886 in Athens and was composed of Armenian patriots who planned a revolution to free their country from the Turkish yoke. During it's early years the Hunchaklst-whioh means bell-raised money by contributions from Armenian sympathizers, bought and supplied arms to the young men Of the country who hoped to rise In revolution and i'm every respect followed the conven- tional course of a patriotic society.
 After the first Armenian massacres there appeared in Constantinople one Alexan Arzuian, who had been a rev olutionist and who became particuiariy successful in raising money among wealthy Armenians for the relief of the widows and orphans in the home country. He was something of terrorist that IS he used other methods than straight argu- ments and coaxing in his collecting tours.
 Arzuian married a French woman, and in 1S96 1t was charged that he and certain others of the central committee hao en- deavored to betray the Hunchakist into the hands of the Turkish government.
 A terrific row broke out In the coun- c;ls of the Hunchakist. It was charged that Arzuian was traitor. He and his partisans were expelled formally, but they continued the branches of the organization. which they controlled and the Huncha- kist was split into two factions In lsoo Arzuian came to America, and in l9o2 the central committee, then with headquarters in Cairo, consented to receive him and his followers back into the fold. The breach was healed, apparently.
 The very next year, however, Arzuian and his partisans were expelled again, and the central committee issued circu- lar denouncing them as traitors and blaekmailers The central committee said thev had collected money for which they had given no account. and that they not only employed threats to enforce contri- buttons, but that they had resorteo to as sassination.
 With in a few months the president or inc Hunchakist, Sagatel Sagooni, was as sassInated in London with two of his friends. and Arzuian came to America 10 live. .,.. Al :.

BLACKMAIL AND MURDER

New York, August S.-Like other great cities Americas metropolis is paying the penalty of it's phenomenal growth-it has become the home of numerous bands of criminals which have their origin in the old world Old world feuds and vendettas, poli- tical and ecclesiastical plots, all are here in New York. forming problem which has so far baffied the police force. For years London was the head quarters for international criminals. but of late years they have been gradually immigrating to the land of liberty.
 The band of which one hears the most is the Black Hand" It lives at present solely for blackmail though it was probably originally organized for some other purpose as is the case with most of the bands of similar character. The Black Hand" writes it's intended victim letter demanding money on penalty of death. If the money is not forth coming, in many instances, the threat is carried out. It is doubtful if the Black Hand" has a real or ganization though undoubtedly it did have in the beginning. Taking ad- vantage of the reign of terror created by the instgators of the practice, every criminal bent on blackmail uses the Black Hand" as a cloak.
 Among other imported evils are the red flag of the anarchist. the Chinese High binder, the stiletto of the Mafa and the Hunchakist Armeian society. The Hunchakist was organized to over throw Turkish rule in Armenia. Soon blackmailers got control of the organ ization and the respectable members of the band quit and organized the new Hunchakist. Meantime the blackmall- CTS under the leadership of priest, have continued operations in the so- ciety's name. For two years they have terrorized the rich Armenians of this city, They demanded vast sums osten- sibly for the cause of the revolutionists and in many instances their demands were met No one believes for a mo- ment that the money thus obtained has been used to overthrow Turkish rule in Armenia It has gone into the pockets of the priest and his fellow conspirators.
 Two years ago letters sent from this country and mailed in Constantinople reached several millionaire Armenians here. Of each the blackmailers demand ed S250O0. A few days later the priest visited each of the recipients and asked the letters had been received. Yes. the
 .ters had been received. Well, what are you going to do?' asked oe priest.

A reign of terror has existed in the. Armenian colony since the murder. Scores of Armenian merchants have fled the city, leaving their affairs in the hands of clerks. Those that remained have been constantly guarded by private detectives. Every Armenian in the city knows the Hunchakist and what it means. They know the chief of the cut-throat band and the fanatcal dupes that carry out his murderous plots but for days not one could be found that would give the police any information. They feared for their lives. All referred to the priest as that man.
 "Well, what is his name?'' the police would ask.
 You know his name; you know whom we mean; we cannot tell you more."
 At last an Armenian, who has become a prominent lawyer here, gathered several of his countrymen together, got them to promise to prosecute the priest for at tempted extortion and his arrest followed

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through in life that 1t is pity there is So much needless suffering from backache, headache, dizziness. lam guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- bIe. They have 90 much indoor work to do, so much lifting. bending and stooping: they are bound by custom to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry If you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing-down pains, headache. dizzy spells. faintness and lack amoi- ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the came way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Are my Kidneys veli' The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is a brick dust sediment. or a stringy settling In tho urine; if passages are too frequent and copious. or scanty and painful. 1t is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.

 'This Is rum go. What do you make of 1t, Mir. Isaacstein?" he said.
 The query restored Isaacstein's wits. After all, here was the law speaking. It would have been the widest folly for man of his position to dabble in this mysterious transaction.
 With great effort he forced himself to speak.
 Lock him up instantly. This matter must be fully inquired into. And do be careful of that parcel, constable. Where do you take him? To the Bride we'll station? I will follow you in a cab in i've minutes"
 So Philip. handcuffed, was marched down the stairs past the grati1ed on1ce boy aud out into the street.
 As for Isaacstein. he required bran dy, and not little, before he felt able to follow.
