An atrocity identically similar to
that of many lately committed in Ar
menia, was perpe-
The Black Hand. trated in New York
City but a few
days ago, where tenement house con-
tanning at least $50 persons was de-
liberately fired by members Of the
''Black Hand" the doors locked upon
the helpless inmates in order to burn
them alive. Mothers threw their
babies out of upper-story windows
and through the efforts of police and

ones escaped unframed, but several
fell to the pavement and were killed
In all about nine persons were muir
dered and a great number injured.
The "call from Armenia is one that
the civilized world must heed, but
meantime there exists and seems to
thrive a body of criminals engaged in
every sort Of viciousness right here
at home. All the larger cities have
been permeated with the minions of
the Black Hand and it's inevitable
imitators. Many pooh-pooh the idea
that there is any such society but
whether or not it exists, certain it is
that crimes of the most revolving
character are on the increase. If the
government were half as eager to put
maximum tariff upon foreign
criminals as it is upon the "products
of the pauper labor of Europe" there
might he some control of that class
of immigration which comes to
America as larger field for it's pecu-
liar iniquities.
On the effort to check immigration,
the Macon Telegraph has this to say:
"Senator Overman, Of North Caro-
lima, has introduced a bill to increase
the capitation tax upon immigrants
from 81 to $12 In support Of his bill.
the Senator points to the dreadful
fact that within the last ten years
more than 100000 immigrants ar
rived in this country, Of whom $780,
900 returned to the lands Of their
nativity, taking back with them about
81, 900, 100000 1t is calculated that
if the head tax were thus increased
it would annually yield 100000
more revenue to the government
paid, according to Mr.. Overman, by
the great steamship companies as a
just penalty for their promotion of
unwelcome immigration.
"The fact cited by Mr.. Overman is
not as dreadful as he imagines if
dreadful at all. If third Of the
immigrants Of the past ten years re-
turned to Europe with their earnings,
they left behind them the fruit of
their labors, and they spent the
money brought over with them while
they were here. The immigrants of
the last fiscal year alone brought into
this country no less than $18,0OO,O0O.
IF the steamship companies have
sinned and ought to be punished, it is
not for bringing able-bodied and will

from Asia Minor.
The new Sultan and his ministry are
apparently doing their best to restore
tranquility. Many courtmartials have
been held, and a number implicated
in the revolution against the constitu-
tionalists, have been summarily exc
cuted. 1t is interesting, considering
the complications Of the situation in
the near East, to note that Oscar
Straus is to be sent as United States
Minister to Constantinople, where he
has previously served in that capacity
and where it is hoped his work may
be valuable.

Inere is something wonderfully
fascinating in the bold proposal of
Prof VIM. III. Picker
Mars, Ahoy ing, director of the
Harvard Observatory,
to signal the planet Mars at time
in the not distant future, when that
planet shall have approached point
nearer than it has heretofore been to
the earth, or is likely to be again in
centuries. Prof. Pickering believes
this can be done by flashing signals,
by means of enormous mirrors placed
on the great stretches Of prairie in
Texas, and the City Of Houston has
no less boldly come forward with the
offer to raise the necessary ten or
wore millions to complete the equip
ment. It is believed that in case
Mars is inhabited, its greater age will
necessarily mean that its people have
reached as high an order as those Of
earth and that some answering sign
could he expected. "What's the
use?" inquiries the "practical' man.
None, maybe, so far as selling soap or
rendering lard is concerned, but of
such incalculable benefit to the intel
lectual progress Of the race as to
take away ones very breath to think
of. Imagine the narrowness and big
otry of little two-by-four creeds going
down before the certainty that this
tiny universal speck We call the world
were only mere manifestation of
myriad forms Of life and that theol-
ogy hadn't sounded the depth and
measured the bounds, after ALL And
congratulations to humanity for it's
daring and scientific zeal, in thinking
of the scheme seriously enough to sub
scribe to it, and labor for it.
