only enough for his future living
expenses and would devote the re-
remainder to the service of God.

OF the Country Of the Armenian.
Men Are Murdered, Women NAL
treated and Carried to the Harems,
Houses Sacked and Then Burned
and Farm Animals Driven Off.

and Farm Animals Driven Of.
Dispatches from Marash, Asiatic
Turkey, say that most distressin;
account continue to be received thsre
from the countryside of the Arme-
nian villages assailed by bands of
Mohamedans, who, acting on the sup
position that the Armenians were
rising against government. were
quick to strike the first blow.
Men were killed whenever found
within reach of knife or bullet.
Girls were often maltreated, and
some of them were carried off to
become the wives or slaves of rich
men.
Houses were ransacked and then
burned. Farm animals were driven
off and small parties of horsemen
rode through the country cleaning
up the Armenians.
The whole country is ruined by
the destruction of the farms and the
homes of the people, thousands of
whom were killed by the blood-thirs-
ty Turks Everything portable has
been stolen and carried off by the
thleving and murderous Turks.
Families are completely brok-
en- UP, and it is estimated that at
least one hundred thousand people
have been murdered or carried on
into captivity, which is. worse than
death.
No one was spared. Even infants
at the breast were torn to pieces
by the demons, and women were
reserved for a worse fate than death.
Half of the stories of the horrible
butcheries have not reached the
outer world because the Turkish
authorities refuse to let many OF
them pass the telegraph or postotiice.

WANT TO SELL
Meat Condemned by The Green

I'm VIOLATION OF Law
DR.. C. E. Smith, of Greenville, Re-
ports Efforts by Agents Of Swift
Co. to Sell Meats That Had Been
Submerged in Dirty Water for

SuDmerSeN In OlrCy HAter Aor
Two Days.
A dispatch from Greenville to The
State says in a letter to Dr.. c. F.
Williams, State health officer, DR..
C. E. Smith, of Greenville, meat and
milk inspector, states that agents of
Swift & Co. have endeavored to get
him to pass the 10000 pounds of
meat recently condemned there on
account of having been submerged in
filthy water for "a hours. DR.. Smith
absolutely refuses to pass the con-
demned meat. In his letter to DR..
Williams he says:
My idea is that they will keep j
until they think it has blown over
and then try to put it on our market.
All the representative of Swift have
assured me that they are willing to
do just what is right and what |
demand, but | can not believe them,
as they have tried every way to get
me to reconsider and pass the meat,
and when 1 positively refused to do
so they refused to do anything and
now they are criticising the city
health department.
They claim that the meat is all
right and that the city health depart
ment is a set of "boneheads," If you
know what that is. l think the mat
ter has hung fire long enough and
should be disposed of in some man
ner. If we have not the authority
to handle the situation will write
DR.. Melvin at Washington for advice.
| think it would be disgrace to
the city and State if we can not pre-
vent this meat being used for food
purposes.

DR.. Tabor related as an interesting
coincidence that his father, Maj. Ia

last Monday, which was also the 18th

age that his father was when he came
here. Dr. Tabor spoke also of many
changes in the topography of Bryan,
among others that where the Eagle

ings now stand there was ravine
and that the wooden buildings then on
the same site were elevated on posts
so high that horses were hitched I'M

Special to the Bryan Morning Eagle.
London, Jan. 21st.- Lady Paget,
daughter of the late Paran Stevens,
sailed for New York today, accom-
panied by her son Albert and several
friends. Her stay in America will be
extended, as 1t is her first visit to her
native land in a number Of years. She
does not plan to return here until
March, and will therefore be in New
York in the height OF the seasons
social festivities. She will spend some
time in Massachusetts, the native
State of both her mother and father.
New York, Jan. 21.-New York soci-
ETY. is looking forward with keen inter-
est to the visit of Lady Paget, who,
according to a cable dispatch. sailed
from England today for this city.
Already arrangements are being made
for some brilliant social functions to
be given in her honor.
Lady Paget is wonderful woman,
daring, original, talented-a social
success. AS Mary Fiske Stevens
better known as "Minnie"-she was
the leader''of "The Bouncer,' set of
pretty girls of long ago who were
given additional fame by the clever
fpen of the late Lawrence Olyphant.
Her parents belonged to the intellect
ual and cultured as well as to the
very wealthy section of New York
society. Mrs. Paren Stevens had a
saloon to which were welcome all the
clever foreigners whom business or
pleasure brought to New York, and
her young daughter had many oppor-
tunities of seeing members of the
great European world of which she
was soon to become component
part.
The msfriage of Miss Stevens to

.,F6w known as Major General Sir Ar
thur Paget took place just thirty years
ago, and introduced the beautiful
young American girl into the most ex-
elusive circles of English society.
The eldest son of the late General
Lord Alfred Paget, Major General Sir
Arthur Paget's military career has
been exceedingly distinguished. Five
years before his marriage he had re-
ceiysd his baptism of fire in the Ash
antee War, and he has taken part in
every important conflict in which his
country has engaged during the last
thirty-fve years, including the South
African war
Lady Paget at once became very
popular among her husbands people.
The King is godfather of her eldest
chi!a. himself now a distinguished Off
~. and both their maiesties have
always shown the beautiful and clever
American hostess marked favor and
sympathy, the King often being her
guest in London at dinner.
