Stranded In Boston.

To a girl without money friends Bos- ton is the most hospitable of our big cities, says Lucy Green in Woman's Home Companion for May She has tried them all and she knows. Miss Green, who is only r years old, landed at the South station, shabbily dressed. with Just $5 in her pocket, lonely and forlorn, she was oheered by the kindness of the station matron. Mrs. Porter, who guided her to Franklin House. Lucy Green has high words of praise for this hotel for work ing girls. It is as far as possible removed from the ordinary working girls home; indeed, has many conveniences, generally lacking in second-class hotels, such drop lights in the bedrooms. and private parlors for the use of the patrons. The food is good, the rooms large, yet the board is only S4 a week.
 From there she went to the Young Women's Christian association to look for work Here she almost lost her breath on being offered a position with the asso- cation itself.
 In the course of her travels, Miss Green went to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. She tells an interesting story. In conclusion she says:
 Tn conclusion I simply wish to say that I honestly believe that 1 look and act very much like the vast majority Of girls seeking work in large cities. l believe that I made no greater appeal to the sympathies of the charitably inclined than other girls do. Therefore l am justified in claiming that what did in all three of these cities any girl possessed of ordinary intelligence and willingness to work can do-fnd immediate work and shelter that will lead to better things. to business and social advancement and to contentment in the Wage-earning field"

OPPOSED TO AMERICANS.
Germans In Hayti Arousing Bitter Hos
 tlity Against Investors.

Port au Prince Correspondence of New
 York World.
 A party of lawyers and engineers, repre- senting American capitalists from New York and Pittsburg arrived in Port au Prince April g. Among them are MT. George S. Graham, lawyer, from Phil adelphia; MT. Hugh Gordon Miller. from New York; MT. James P. Mcdonald, en- gineer and railroad contractor, and staff of practical men. The object of their visit is to investigate and place all the con cesions of the Gonaives and IIinche rail- orad on legal and indisputabia status before the new group of capitalists. who intend to finish the road and take control of it.
 The concession is a valuable one ana was granted in 1905 by. President Nord Alexis, with the object of building rail- road, to be known as the National Rail- road of Haiti, from Gonaives to Hinche by Ennery, St. Michel de PAttalaye and Maissade, with a branch on Gros Morne. The road has guarantee of per cent interest on at sum not exceeding $15, 900 per kilometer to be bfult, or 800 per year per kilometer, and will cross an unde- veloped mining zone known by the Span- iards since the 18th century.
 The arrival of the Americans once more awakened the bitterness of a certain Ger man group of bankers and promoters. who will not admit that Americans dare to come to Haiti and start legal business and enterprises If you meet them in Hamburg and ask them if Haiti is gold field they will invariably reply that 1t is a bad place to go, forgetting to mention that they or their fathers have made mill lions In it by smuggling and lending money at usurious rate to Haitians. If without their knowledge or authorization you dare to come to Port au Prince they try to kill your enterprise by anonymous articles in newspapers or other means The result of this policy is that bitter feeling exists between the Americans and. most of the German colony The party of Mir. Graham, who visited the capital this week, also felt this unloyal policy by un- Justified and anonymous attacks on their Interests.

THOUSANDS DIE
 IN ASIATIC TURKEY
Disturbances Are So Widespread That 1t Is Impossible to Get Accurate
 Details.

Beirut, April 25.-The situation in Asiatic Turkey Is one of extreme gray ity. How many thousands have been massacred cannot even be estimated, because the disturbances have been so widespread that it Is impossible to ob- tain details of the happenings during the past 10 days. The latest estimates of the number killed in the villayeb of Adana reaches approximately 25,000, and thousands have been killed in the towns of other districts. The state of siege which several of the places are undergoing has brought the inhab- itants to the verge of starvation and each day brings its tales of furthe atrocities and the depths of misery and despair to which the savagery of the fanatics has brought the people.
 Several warships are now in these waters, but the disorders are SC. far reaching that the efforts of the powers to restore normal conditions have as yet hardly been felt. The French cruis CT Jules Ferry arrived here today and

as serious as the American legation has indicated.
 A dispatch from the American embassy at Constantinople, dated 1 o'clock to- day, states that after severe fighting the city is in complete control of the consti- tutional forces.
 The dispatch says the dragoman or in terpreter of the American embassy, named Gargu1la, Turk, has been slight ly wounded in the arm. Frederick Moore, the American newspaper man wounded yesterday, is improving No other Amer jeans have been injured.
 The department has been assured by the embassy of the safety of two American women named Webb about whom some inquiries had been made. Trouble is like ly to continue in the provinces, it is said, until order is restored in Constantinople. Recent information is far from reassur- ing from the provinces. At Antioch, Had jin and Deurtyol very serious state of affairs Is reported to have developed, par ticularly at Deurtyol. Assurances are given that the ambassadors are leaving nothing undone in order to get relief to the distressed cities.

 Vice Consul Debbas at Mersna has ad- vised the department that Mersina Is quiet, but that the conditions at Latakia and Eassal are uneasy. The situation at Hadjin is reported worse.
 Consul Nathan at Patras Greece. was cabled orders by the department yester- day to go immediately to Mersina to take charge of the consulate, because of his knowledge of Arabic and modern Greek, which may be of great assistance to Americans there.
 According to further advices from Vice Consul Debbas, strong representations have been made to the local authorities with a view to getting everything pos sble done to relieve the situation.

COUNCILMEN MEET
 IN TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, April 25.-(Special.) 1.-The city council held it's regular meeting Fri day night instead of Thursday night on account of the lack of a quorum. This was the time set to hear objections to the paving of sidewalks ordinance passed for Queen City avenue and Ninth street There were no formal protests filed, however, and no objections made except as to the width of the street abutting the Gulley property on one side and the Werner, Cade and McAlpine property on the other on Queen City avenue.
 A former ordinance passed requiring a four foot curb next the Gulley prop erty was returned unsigned by the mayor, this official stating that conditions were such as to make the passage of the ordi- nance of doubtful propriety. Henry Fitts presented an argument for retaining reasonable curb on the Gulley property, stating, however, that the Gulleys would make no objection to a two-foot curb. provided the telegraph and electric poles on that street be put outside the curb. c. B. Werner, representing the property owners on the other side, insisted on the reduction of the curb and also on put ting the poles on the inside of the curb.
 The council went into executive ses- sion after hearing both sides and after resuming, passed an ordinance fixing the curb line at two feet from the side walks and requiring the poles to be placed on the outside of this. A petition was presented asking that sidewalks on Eff teenth street west of the Mobile and Ohio freight yards be required to be paved, this being signed by large number of citizens of that section, this matter being referred to the street committee.
 The resignation of w F. Fitts Sr., a member of the board of education was presented alid reluctantly accepted by the council s. D. McGee was elected as a member of the board to succeed MT. Fitts. Several minor matters of bus- ness were transacted. after which the council adjourned until the next regular meeting time, the first Thursday in May.
