YALTA SCENE OF MURDER.
Armenian Insane From Losses at Rus
sian Watering Place.

The south Russian watering places
are full of Caucasian mobiles and rich
Armenian landowners, who are invet-
crate gamblers. Yalta, in the Crimea,
near which Is the cars summer pal
ace, has perhaps more luxuriously APP
pointed gambling places than any
other place Of its size. Recently a
sensational tragedy was enacted there.
In the ''millionaires' gambling club
an Armenian named Aivasow lost in
one night 100000 at cards. He Dor
rowed $4,000 more and lost again.
In a paroXysm of rage he seized his
neighbor by the throat, shouting,
"Your money"
A tremendous uproar followed, and
the couple rolled over and over, each
trying TO strangle the other. Finally
Aivasow pulled a dagger out Of the
others belt and plunged 1t into his ad-
versary's neck. The victim was dead
in a few minutes. but Aivasow con-
tinued to stab the inanimate body
until his fellow gamblers bound him
tight with ropes. 1t was found he
had gone stark mad.

APPLE CURE FOR "SOUSES."
Chicago w. c. T. v. Finds Substitute
For Alcoholic Desires.

The W. G. L. L. of Chicago is going
to fight drink with apples. 1t has dis
covered that the agent which caused
the fall Of the human race may now
degenerate it.
Dr. Samuel Bailey Of Mount AYR,
Ia, has been experimenting on the
anti-booze qualities of apples. He has
cured hundreds Of drinkers by feeding
them apples when they wanted to
drink. The women are sending out
thousands of leaflets which read.
The use Of apples as an article OF
diet will very much diminish, decrease
and ultimately abate the appetite for
alcoholic stiIluidnts.
THAT this is fact could be proved
in many instances if a little care. eau
ton and vigilance be taken tQ investi-
gate conditions. As Il rule. the habit
ual user of alcoholic stimulants is
rarely consumer Of apples. There
seems TO be peculiar combination in
apples that allays the irritation or so
called appetite produced by the use of
liquor"

OLD TURKS FOUND GRAFT
IN REDUCTION OF CENSUS.
Governors Cut Taxes Paid to Sultan
on Per Capita Basis.

The new Young Turk government
has found out some very remarkable
things in its work Of reformation. One
of them is that there are far more
Turks than are accounted for In the
official statistics.
The latest reference books, which are
based on Turkish official figures, give
the population of European Turkey as
6,130,200 but the census which Is now
being taken indicates that these fig
ures are far 200 small. The discrepan-
cies in the country vilayets, especially
In Albania, are amazing
The city of Djakova, for instance,
which is'down for q 600 inhabitants,
now appears TO have not less than So,
coo, and the population Of the vilayet
of Kossowa Is more than twice as
great as il has been given. 1t may be
taken for certain that Turkey in Eu-
rope instead of 100000, has really
100000 inhabitants or maybe more.
The difference is easily explained,
Taking Djakoya as an example, the
corrupt old governors only paid into
the imperial treasury the taxes on d.
600 people, the number they certified
as "onicial," and they coolly pocketed
the taxes on the remaining 10000.
This sort Of graft went on under Alb
dull Hamid for years and incidentally
explains Turkeys everlasting financial
troubles. The next Ottoman budget
may be a surprise to the world at
larpn.

CRICKETS CHINA'S "PUGS."
GIadiators Train on Honey and Fight
TO Death


A Chinese diplomat paced in robes Of
lemon colored brocade the board walk
at Atlantic City.
you would be interested to see" he
said, "a Chinese cricket fight. 1t is an
Institution with us, like bull6ghting in
Spain or baseball here. The crickets
are trained like little Jack JohnsOns.
Their diet is honey and boiled chest
nuts. With prods and shoyes they are
kept on the iump-eXercised-long
hours daily If they get sick they are
fed with mosquitoes, great stimu-
liant
The cricket pit is low tub placed
on table. The crickets are carefully
weighed in-for there are heavy and
middle and welter classes-and they
are dropped into the ring. They rush
on one another with loud .chirrups.
They fight TO a finish. Sometimes the
fight lasts five minutes, sometimes an
hour. Its end is always the same-the
death Of one Of the contestants"
The diplomat smiled.
"Now, If your prizefights," he said,
"only ended in that way. then there
could be no talk of dope. phoney bust
ness and corruption. could there?'
