ARTISTIC inaugural Invitations

The invitations for the inaugural
ceremonies are splendid specimens of
the engravers' art. They are printed ON
fine card board, folded with flap for
enclosure in the envelope, and at the
top is the coat of arms of pennsylvania

follows:

Uncle Dave" to March As of Yore
Uncle Dave Lane, as they call
the Republican City Chairman in Phil.
adelphia, is the Nestor among political
leaders in the Quaker City and the
dean of the Republican organization.
Uncle Dave is always on parade
when the cohorts gather to show their
political strength or their manly
pulehritude. Hence, it is perfectly in
accord with affairs that "Uncle Dave"
is to be at the head of one of the big
political clubs that will come here next
Tuesday to mach in the procession when
the new Governor is inaugurated. Time
was when the political Nestor was
dapper young man and paraded with
the "White Hats of the McManus
faction of Philadelphia Republicans as
opposed to the "Black Hats mar
shalled by William R. Leeds, but time
has taught him that harmony is best
and he takes no factional sides, march
ing with one on this day and with the
other on another day. Time was, also,
when "Uncle Dawes sharp. pointed
moustache and needle.tipped goatee
were black as jet, but to-day, while
they are shaped as of old, they are
white and worn with striking effect.
1t would be difficult to say how many
inaugural professions have been graced
by the venerable Philadelphian. but the
sight of him in Harrisburg is familiar
one, and he will be welcome as "the
flowers that bloom in the spring" being
himself veritable daisy.

ARMENIANS IN TURKEY
ALMOST DIFFERENTIATED
Only 100000 Left of the I 200, 900
Inhabitants at Beginning
of War.

Tiiis, Transcautasia, Oct 10 Cvia Pet
rograd and London. Oct. H-)-The esti-
mate is made by the Armenian news
paper Mshak that, of the LOO. 900 Armen-
ian inhabitants of Turkey before the war,
there remain not more than 100000. This
residue, the Mshak says, may disappear
before the end of the war on account Of
the Turkish policy of determination.
The figures are based on the estimate
OF the Armenian Patriarch at Constanti-
nople that $4,000 Armenians have been
killed or enslaved by the Turks, in adj
dition to which 100000 Armenians are be-
lieved to have fed to Russia

ian conference be held at Etchmiadzin.

of Armenia, under the direction of the
head of the Armenian church, for the
consideration of the future of the Armen-

ditions could be established Armenian
