This calculation is made up from the
lists prepared by the priests and other

Not less than 10000 persisted in the
towns and villages of the province.
This figure is based upon the full in

"The surviving Armenians of the
entire province are largely women and
children. They amount to about 25,-
600 sonls, and are today without
homes, shoes, clothing and bread. A
most pitiable and most wretched multi

streets of Adana like a lost people.
They throng the big factory yards,
where dole of flour is given out by
the relief committee. Crowds OF
broken hearted women and children
are coming in from the country t.

Paris. Aug. 5.-A sudden official an
nouncemcnt that Il public beheading
would take place at 1870 o'clock this
morning in the Boulevard fronting the
Sante prison created a sensation in
Paris. which had not seen an eXecu-
tion in fifteen years.
Immediately immense crowds gath
cred at the scene, but were kept back
from the guillotine by heavy details
of police and municipal guards.
The victim was Jean Duchemin
aged twenty-three, a butcher. In 1908
he stabbed his mother, and this not
resulting in her death quick enough
he finished her by strangulatiOn. The
motive for the crime was robbery.
AS the trembling wretch stepped out
Of the wagon it was seen that accord
ing to the law dealing with matricdes
and parricides, he was barefooted, and
his head was covered with trans
parent black yelling, while a cape of
crude material but half concealed his
naked chest.
Before the onlookers had time to eX-
press their wonderment at this strange
garb, which gave one the impression
that It was n woman and not man,
the flowing yelling fell from the head,
the cape from the shoulders and the
victim was seized and thrown under
the knife. In flash all was over.
