GRECIAN WOMAN TO BE DE-
PORTED,

Even though il may mean her
forced entrance into the harem Of a
wicked pasha" in Damascus, Marie
Hebelia, Grecian woman OF wondrous
beauty, must be deported, according
to the ruling Of the immigration board
in New York. With her must return,
also, Antonio Jshara, her Christian
brother"
Jahara, according to the woman's
story, brought her TO this country Ia
escape the wiles OF pasha, who fell
in love with her when he saw her
dance in the palace Of Pasha Oura, in
whose harem she was the unwilling
fayorite until the death Of her master
gave her the opportunity OF escape,
aided by Jahara.
Marie and Antonio are, according
to their view, religious brother and
sister, both having adopted the Chris
tIan religion. They have been friends,
purely platonic, both insist, since she
found him worker in Pashs
Oura's garden and made known
to him her desire to fee from
the harem life. Jahara was ex'
PEELED for showing and interest in the
girl, but seven years later, after Oura
had died, Marie remembered him and
sent him word and be planned her
escape and furnished her the disguise
in which she went aboard ship.
Jahara left wife ia Damascus 10
bring Marie to her cousin 10 this coun,
try, Tut both declared that the wife was
willing party TO the escape, as all
are Christians. He planned to return
as soon as he got Marie safely 10 this
country. He was greatly depressed at
the outcome OF their exploit, but Marie
was able to alternate smiles with her
tears, and show her flashing white
teeth. The smiles vanished, however,
when she thought Of the fate OF falling
into the hands OF the bad pasba, y
who saw her dance in the palace Of
Pasha Oura.

Moulton's testimony was:
Il think it was on June 3, 1873,

Remsen street. He said to me If Mr..
TiIton published bis letter OF apology
| L might as well 90 out OF life; it is USE

Mr.. Beecher there is something better
for you to do than that. / think that

confess your crime; they will forgive
you. He said, No, l can't do that
for the sake OF the woman who has
given me her love, for my children, for
my family, for the church, for my in,
fluences throughout the world. That
can never do. / will die before l will

There is no thing left for me and

which shall take and sink rapidly off
as il going to sleep, without a struggle.
Mr.. Beecher was very much excited
be told me with tears streaming down
his face of what he had suffered; thai
he had suffered the tortures OF the
damned; that he was obliged to- go home
aud wear cheerful smile; that when he
appeared in his church he must appear
at his best; that the slightest indication
OF weakness was a confession on hi:
part, so that really | was the only per
son to whom he could unburden his

declares that it is imperatively neces-
sary that immediate steps should be
taken to organize a proper reserve
consisting OF not less than three hun
dred thousand men, from which The
regular and militia organizations can
promptly be filled to war strength with
instructed men, and from which new
organizations can be formed. General
Wood. it will be remembered, was an
obscure physician when the Spanish

organized q regimento Of rough riders,
he becoming colonel and the latter lieu
tenant colonel thereof Both knew SO
little about military tactics that but for
a negro regiment their troops would
have been anuihilated at the battle oil
San Juan. When Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came president, he, over the heads OF
hundreds Of experienced and efficient
officers, appointed DR.. Wood TO posi-
ton in the army, which, through IA
voritlsm aud rapid promotion, soon
placed him al its head. And no"
this made-to-order soldier, who never
set a squadron in Inc field. says there
must be an army Of 100000 men ioi

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

St. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-Fearing
active aggression on The part Of Turkey

ton of troops in the province OF Kars,
in the trans Caucasian district, adioin-
ing Turkey.
Although the cause OF trouble be-
tween Turkey and Russia is likely to
be Russia's ACKNOWLEDGMENT 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 won
back by the Turks. 1t was taken again
in 1866, and again Turkey won it back.
Again Russia seized it in 1877, and il
was finally ceded TO the car in 1878.
The capital OF the province is Kars, q
strongly fortified town, and place Of
great stragetic importance to Russia.
Realizing this fact Russia is rushing
