Report of Massacre of Americans in
 Persia Unfounded.

Boston, Oct 4.-Off1cial report of the safety of American missionaries in the Van district of Persia as we'll as in Bitlis was received today by the American board o1 commissioners for foreign missions, from Ambassad dor Morgenthau at Constantinople through the state department at Washington
 There was @ report that following the retreat of the Turks before the Russians in Persia, a general massa- ere of American missionaries had taken place. This, Ambassador Nor genthau stated, vas not only unfound- ed, but that direct word concerning the safety of missionaries had been received from Miss Myrtle O. Shane of Kansas and A.AAss Grissell M. Me- Laren of Mount Holyoke College, Mass, both of whom are in Bitlis. Miss McLaren, however, is suffering from typhus fever and Miss Shane is attending her.

Greatest Press Agent.
(From the Boston Herald

(FrOm the Boston 6efaiui
 The passing of George Oscar Starr
 the other day at Upper Norw pod,
 England, recalls the worlds pioneer
 press agent, and with him 6s year.
 of a phenomenally busy life, much
 of it spent in beating the big drum
 Starr came from Connecticut and would have died a practicing phy- sician had he not discovered as medical student that people would rather be entertained than doctored-- that, in fact. amusement is one Of the cheapest and best prophylactics Of disease. His thought of the needs of the poor also helped him to q change
 of occupation. Thenceforward. his English biographer tells us, he "iiIed in the strange kaleidoscopic atmos- phere of brass bands, gilded chariots and crazy clowns; of candy stalls, col- ored balloons and cocoanut shies; amid the roaring and grunting and shrielI- ing of the lions, liamas. yaks and monkeys of the big travelling circus" Beginning his new career in yAne Bowery, Starr finally threw in his lot with Barnum, first serving the greatest show on earth" as press agent, then securing the world in its interest for prodigies. And his search, prospering nightly, brought ! forth freaks abundance-dwaffs Circassian ladies, dog-faced boys and bearded women-midgets from the Danube, giants from North China. and from Korea, attached twins.
 But it was as press agent, as ksle
 maker of sensations to be talked
 about and written about, that Starr
 bulked largest in the public eye. He | it was whom the Arabs once "mur- dered" in Asia, and before he reach-
 ed home alive with several sons of the desert" duly in leash, the New York papers had devoted columns to the show and to the tragedy of his taking off. It was Starr who when the greatest was in need of l a boom, set up a woman to be ta- tooed. and for two weeks, day after
 day, kept the chroniclers chrontcffng the operation as it proceeded. The sending of Starr on a mission to In-
 dia for 'an elephant bigger than
 Jumbo" proved fruitless, but for sheer l sensationalism it outdid the sending
 of Stanley to find Livingstone. And | Starr we'll knew how to turn disas-
 ters into successes. When the show
 lost Change, the Chinese giant,
 "Chong" another colossus, was un-
 earthed from the middle kined6m:
 and when Chong suddenly disappear
 ed, never to be seen or heard of again
 the search for him by press and
 police made copy" for the news
 papers of half a continent. It was
 Barnum's custom to say that people
 liked to be humbugged. 1t seems to have been Starr's business to see that
 they had something for their money.
