Er31-- :. .,.ouItuu, WIDOW Of Francis
D. Moulton, died Thursday at Wake
field, R. l., in the seventy-first year OF
her age. She looked as if she might
be so when she testified in Theodore
Tilton's suit against Henry Ward
Beecher in Brooklyn in February,
1875. Her testimony was almost as
sensational as that OF her husband, who
was known in the case as the mutual
friend" Both were witnesses for the
plaintiff, Tilton. A part of Mrs.
Moulton's testimony was:
I think it was on June 3, 1873,
Mr.. Beecher came to our house at 4e
Remsen street. He said to me if Mr..
Tilton published his letter OF apology
I might as we'll 90 out OF life; it is use.
less trying to live it down I said
Mr.. Beecher there is something better
for you to do than that. / think tha
would be q very cowardly thing for you
to do. Go down to your church anc
confess your crime; they will forgive
you.' He said, No, / can't do tina
for the sake of the woman who ba!
given me her love, for my children, fo
my family, for the church, for my in
fuances throughout the world. That
can never do. I will die before l vii
confess it, Ny position in life is tina
OF spiritual and moral teacher. II
can no longer hold that position, the1
there is no thing left for me and
Ehaye resolved to take my life. I have
apowder at homo on my library table
which shall take and sink rapidly off
as if going to sleep, without struggle.
Mr.. Beecher was very much excited
he told me with tears streaming dowr
his face of what he had suffered; tina
he had suffered the tortures Of tht
damned; that he was obliged to 60 home
and wear cheerful smile; that when ht
appeared in his church he must appeal
at his best; that the slightest indication
Of weakness was confession on hi:
part, so that really I was the only per
son to whom he could unburden hi
hearts trouble and act his natura
self"
On the witness stand Mr.. Beeche
denied this story.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
War Likely to Result from Russia's En-
croachmentS in Persia.


St. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-Fearing
active aggression on the part OF Turkey
the car has ordered heavy mobiliza-
ton Of troops in the province OF Kars,
in the TRANSIT Caucasian district, adjoin-
ing Turkey.
Although the cause of trouble be-
tween Turkey and Russia is likely to
be Russia's ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in Persia,
it is known that Turkey is extremely
anxious to win back the Kars province,
which has been seized from tho sultan
three times by the car.
The Young Turks officers, it is said
here, believe that big war, with vic
tory for Turkish arms, would add great
prestige to their party, as we'll as give
them chances for military renown.
For this reason they seen determined
tn press war upon some one, and the
cars advisers believe Russia has been
selected asthe most suitable opponent
Kars province was taken from Turkey
bv the Russians first in 1926 and wor
back by the Turks. It was taken again
in 1856, and again Turkey won it back
Again Russia seized it in 1877, and il
was finally coded to the car in 1878
The capital o. the province is Kars, q
strongly fortified town, and place o.
great stragetic importance to Russia
Realizing this fact Russia is rushing
troops there to protect the city, whici
is connected by railroad with Tiflis.
The population OF the province i:
one-half Mohammcdans and onc-fourtt
Armenians. The province, when it be
longed to Turkey, was part OF Turkish
Armenia.
