Only a Matter of Dress

Mrs. Phelps Stokes, in illustra-
ton of the really superficial and
slight difference that exists be-
tween aristocratic and pleteian
people, repeated at a socialist
meeting in New York a CONVEX
sation between a little girl and
her mother.
THE little girl" said Mrs.
Phelps Stokes, belonged to one
of New York's rich PATRON fami-
lies, and one day she said to her
mother, thoughtfully;
will | wear my prettiest Paris
frocks when l get to heaven?"
'.Oh, no, my dear!' the mother
answered.
why not?"
Because Paris frocks are not
worn in heaven
The little girl frowned.
How, then, will they know
up there, she said, that | belong
to the best society?",

Foreigners Flee 10 consuIates.

Constantinople, April 10. ~ Three
French warships are hurrying to Mer-
sina, where the situation is desperate.
Foreigners and many Christians have
taken refuge In the consulates. The
local troops and the governor are do
ing their best to protect the town, but
there is great fear that 1t cannot hold
out much longer against the invasion
Of the Moslems, who are sweeping
down In large numbers.
The American vice consul at Mersi-
ma, John Debbas, has been unable to
proceed to Adana owing to the inter
ruption of communications.
A British warship is proceeding TO
Alexandretta, which is threatened by
the Moslems. Several Armenian farms
in that neighborhood have been de-
stroyed. Alarm is felt at Kharput be-
cause Of serious depredations by the
Kurds in the surrounding villages, al
though the town itself has not been
the scene of any particular disorder.
The tension in Constantinople over
the situation is still very great, al

poets Of peaceful solution Of the
trouble. The people of the capital are
more concerned with the advance Of
the Saloniki troops than they are with
the massacres that are reported from
various quarters.
Several of the members of the par
liamentary deputation, which proceed
ed to Tchatalje to reassure the Salonl-
XII troops, have returned here. They
report that the troops demand the
safe conduct and protection Of the
Saloniki deputies who fled from the
capital and the punishment of the
ringleaders Of the rising on Tuesday
last as an example to prevent the re-
currence Of such events.
The council Of ministers took the de.
mands of the troops under considera-
tlon. The first of these seems to be
easy of solution, provided the deputies
agree to return. phe second demand,
however, involving the punishment Of
the rlngleaders, VIII be difficult TO
meet and might cause trouble.
Constantinople is now tranquil the
city having q normal aspect, although
the public is exceedingly nervous and
apprehensive The garrison appears
to be under better discipline. and the
troops have taken the oath on the
Koran to remain quiet and obey their
officers.
The artillery, which came into the
capital from Hadeinkoi and which
made preparations to return there, de-
cided to remain in Constantinople.
The salonikl troops Immediately in
stalled themselves at HademLoi on the
departure Of the artillery and an
nouneed their determination not to re-
linquish their position.

Measures Passed by the Leg

We're Turned Down.

CREDIT ON REPUBLICANS

Trenton, April 19:-Although the
1880. New Jersey legislature enact
ed several measures of great impor-
tance to the people of the state at
large, it's record must be charged up
with the fact that it failed to pass a
number of equally important bills
that were before 1t for consideration.
One of the most important bills
throttled by the republicans in the
senate was House $50 by Mr. Vre-
denburgh, of Monmouth county; to
tax the rolling stock used in inter
state commerce over all the railroads
in this state, such as western meat
and fruit refrigerator cars, parlor
cars and the like. The railroad COM
panies fought this more bitterly than
any measure which has been aimed
at them in several years. 1t is
known that one company begged a
big western meat concern to send
agents to the capitol to help beat the
bill. The reply that came back was
that he proposition was no concern
of the car owners because 1t such
rolling stock were taxed the owners
would look to the railroad companies
here to pay the tax. That served to
aggravate the situation with the re-
suit that the bill was successfully
lobbied to death In the senate.
Public Utilities Bill.
The Public Utilities Commission
bill was another measure smothered
to death in committee by the senate.
This was the Martin bill with strin-
gent provisions which passed the
house after notable fight in which
at first 1t was defeated, but Martin,
by strenuous effort, got reconsidera-
tion and had it passed. Then the
republican senators at a conference
decided 1t should not be reported In
the upper branch and it never was
reported there. The bill abolished
the State Railroad Commission and
gave the new commission power to
fix rates for any public utility SER
vice after a hearing, with an appeal
to the courts. 1t also gave the COM
mission power to demand adequate
service from all public utility cor
porations. Although this was not
passed a bill was passed extending
the powers of the State Railroad
Commission and making its orders
effective.

Beirut, Syria, April 19.-The massa-
ere by Turks OF Armenian Christians
at Adana and Tarsus continues un-
checked.
Street fighting has been going on at
Adana for three days, and more than
1000 persons have been killed. The
city has been practically destroyed by
fire. Another thousand persons have
been massaered at Tarsus and Alexan-
dretta.

Wylie, is among the wounded, having
been shot through the arm.
At Tarsua there was less loss of life.
The Armenian quarter however, was
destroyed. -Four thousand refugees
are housed IN the American mission.
The need of relief is urgent, for short
ly the fugitives win soon be on the

The larm Saturday night was sent in

made considerable smoke, the blaze was
extinguished before the fremen ar
rived.

HAMS is
PLACED ON TRIAL
Some Sensational
Testimony Is
Expected.
THE WITNESS

Special bg United Press Wire.
Flushing, N. Y, April 19:-Cap-
tain Peter G. Hams was placed on
trial this morning for the murder of
William E. Annis at the Bayside
Yacht Club last August A long
drawn out legal battle is expected as
the court announced the Jury would
be locked up after the sessions.
Hams was brought into the court
handcuffed to Sheriff Harvey. He
looked worried. A weakly reddish
beard has grown since he has been
in jail, accentuating his poor physi-
cal condition.
Major Hams, his brother, and Col.
Hams, his father, accompanied him.
The defendant evidently took no
interest in the proceedings. A reg
ular panel Of forty-eight and spec
ial panel of 150 talesmen were pres
ent. Prosecutor Dewitt announced
he would dispense with expert alien
lists and medical experts as Witness
es. He said If Mrs. Claudia Hains
is needed she will be on hand.
Attorney Hirsch. for. the defense,
made formal motion for dismissal
of the indictment, which was denied
by the court and the examination of
talesmen was begun.
Ten policemen are on duty. The
court room crowd, however. is small
The questions of the defense to
the talesmen plainly indicated the
insanity theory of the defense. Eu-
gene H. L. Young, of Long Island
City, conducted the examination Of
talesmen for the defense.
More than ffty witnesses are to be
called by the defense to prove that
Captain Hams was irrational between
May 81, the date Of his return from
the Philippines and of his discovery
of his wife's alleged infdelity, and
Aug. 10, the date of the shooting.
Among these are men prominent In
business and official life, and four
physicians who, at the instance Of the
Hams family, had the captain under
observation during that period.
The keepers of the penitentiary
where Captain Hams has been con-
fined for eight months say that he is
subject to periodical fits Of desponden-
cy and melancholia and has been con-
suited very little of late.
General Hains declared that his son
was dying and that, no matter what
the issue of the case, the captain could
not be expected to live more than two
months. He said:
His condition is hopeless. He lnows
nothing of the trial or OF the fate of
Annis. He knows that he is still an
officer of the United States army, but
he does not appreciate why It is that
he is not with his regiment.
"Only today he wished me to send
word to his colonel that he was being
detained against bis win, but would
report for duty tomorrow"

ed in catching hold, but as the appa-
ratus was going full speed, he was un-
able to get aboard. AS result he was
dragged almost to Madison avenue be-
fore L. B. Moore, who had a grip on
Dedricksen s coat, could pull him up to
the running board. Bystanders were
Mortified and fully expected to see the
fireman thrown to the pavement or
mangled beneath the wheels.
Samuel Williams, watchman at the
plant of the New Jersey Briquetting
Company, discovered that small shed
in the yard was on fire shortly before
8 o clock yesterday morning and turned
in an alarm from box 70, at Smith and
Front streets. The departemnt quickly
responded and, with chemicals, extin-
guished the blaze. The shed, which was
about six feet square and contained a
hydrant and 200 feet of hose, was to-
tai loss as the fremen had to tear 1t
down. The origin of the FIRE is UNI
known.
