Says the Germans Did“It. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Perhaps the good people of Washington are not aware to whom they are indebted for the rapidly approaching and perma- nent political retirement of the Hon. Chump Clark, who now, by an inscrutable dispensation of Providence, misrepresents the good and mostly intelligent people of the ninth Missouri district in the House of Representatives. Pike county does not make the ninth. district alone. There are other counties in it, among them flourish- ing St. Charles, in which reside a large number of intelligent and thrifty citizens who were born in Germany, but who earned American citizenship by saving Missouri to the Unicn under Lyons, Blair, Sigel, Schurz, Osterhaus, Hassendenbel, Neuman, Koerner, Hecker, ete. During the last political campaign Mr. Clark struck among many liquid things the rather solid town of St. Charles and pro- ceeded to ‘e a speech while in a condi- tion that makes men generally babble in- stead of talk. In this speech Mr. Clark, inadvertently, no doubt, proceeded to in- sult the Germans of St. Charles and other counties in a manner a little too strong for the most phlegimatic Teuton among his hearers. One of the hearers happened to be the editor of the St. Charles Democrat, a German paper hitherto most stalwart democratic. In the issue of the paper fol- lowing Chump's oration (heaven save the mark) the aforesaid editor proceeded to dissect Mr. Clark in a style both forcible and effective, and went on to state that the St. Charles Democrat was done with the democratic party as long as that party nominated certain phenomenal asses, whom the editor named by Christian and by surnames. Every other German paper in Missouri, regardless of prior political affiliations, took up the matter, and if Mr. Champ Clark received a German vote on the 6th of November last that vote must have been cast by a German unable to read and residing in Pike county. Thanks to universal education and to free public libraries there are few, if any, of such Germans, If there are every one of them has emigrated long ago to the arcs vil- lage of the Hon.

He escaped with slight injuries, WERE BURNED ALIVE Almost Incredible Reports of Turk« ish Cruelty, REPORT OF AN AMERICANIN ARMENIA Children Placed in a Row and Shot Down. THOUSANDS SACRIFICED BOSTON, December 13.—The following is an extract from a letter received in this city from an American gentleman residing in Erzeroum, which is in the province of Sassoun, where the recent Turkish atroci« ties against Christian Armenians are re- ported to have occurred. For obvious rea- sons the names of the writer and recipient are withheld: “Last year the Talvorig Armenians re- sisted the attack of the neighboring Kurds, and this year the Turkish government sent detachments of regular soldiers to put down the Armenians. They were assisted by the Kurdish Hamedish. The Armenians were attacked in their mountain fastnesses, and, reduced by the failure of supplies and munition, they were finally unable to resist longer. About a core of villages were obliter- ated and many people slaughtered. A nw ber of young Armenians were bound, cov- ~ ered with brush and burned alive. Others pleaded for mercy, but were shot down cn the spot, while others were dispaiched with the sword and bayonet. About one hundred women were shut up in a church, Many were outraged to death and the re- mainder dispatched with the sword. Anoth- er lot of women were captured as spoils of war. “Two stories are told as to their disposal. One is that they were carried to Mosier harems, and enother that they were slavghtered on refusing to go. Chiliren were placed in line apparently to see how many could be killed with one bullet. Many children were beheaded. Inmates of burn- ing houses were driven back into the flames at the point of bayonets as they tried to escape. “Estimates vary from 3,000 to 8,000 as to the number massacred. Some estimates place the number even twice as high. The massacres happened in August and Sep- tember, and were perpetrated by soldiery under officers of high rank. This gives the affair a most serious aspect. A Christian dces not enjoy the respect given to street dogs, and if this massacre is passed over it will simply be a declaration of the doom of Armenian Christianit, —_— > GRAND LODGE OF TEMPLARS,. Transacted at the Meeting Last Night. The annual session of the District of Co- lumbia Grand Lodge of Good Templars was resumed last evening in the hall of Columbia Lodge, in Society Temple. After approving the journal of the previous ses- sion a report was received from a commit- tee appointed at the last annual session to codify the laws of the Grand Lodge. The only section of the report of public interest was that changing the legislative commit- tee to “the committee on legislation and enforcement of prohibitive laws,” which will hereafter be so known, and will be composed of five members, appointed by, the incoming grand chief templar. Mr. A. H. Frear, chairmen of the finance committee, presented a report, which caused much discussion and consumed much of the time of the session. The grand secretary had asked that permanent headquarters be established for the order at some convenient place in the city. The idea was approved, and was referred to the newly elected executive committee, to be put in operation if there are sufficient funds on hand to do so without embar- rassment to the Grand Lodge. The propo- sition to establish a minimum rate for int- tiation throughout this jurisdiction was, after discussion, referréd to the subordi- nate lodges for approval or disapproval. Copies of the constitution will hereafter be presented to each newly initiated mem- ber of the order immediately on admission to the subordinate lodge. But the portion of the report which pro- voked the most intense interest and heated debate was, as usual, one which touched upon the question of taxation, and, from all accounts, the discussion resembled very much the scenes in the House of Represen- tatives pending the consideration of the late Wilson bill. Of course, the officers wanted the per capita tax to the Grand Lodge increased from seven cents per quarter (the present figure) to ten cents, the argument being made that the in- creased revenue was needed to properly defray the running expenses of the Grand Lodge. But the delegates who were there to de- fend their local membership from the at- tempts to loot their treasuries by the ad- dition of 1 per cent per month to their taxes outnumbered those who urged that pfovision should be made to enable the grand officers tq advance the temperance cause by holding public meetings and b; providing the munitions of war with whic! to push the temperance battle to the gates, &c., and the taxes will not be increased at this time. Grand Secretary Jesse C. Suter called attention to the reports from grand lodges in other jurisdictions and indicated Wisconsin, Maine, Ohio and other states where the tax was several times higher than here and where the money was used to further the best interests of the organ- ization and the cause it represents. It was contended that no one prized a cheap or- ganization and that it would elevate the tone of the order if its expenses were in- creased and the meney properly used to bring the movement more clearly before the people. But the grand lodge will continue to struggle along without the increased per capita. ‘A proposition to pay the expenses of a delegate to represent the juvenile temples in this jurisdiction in the International In- stitute of Juvenile Temples, which meets in Boston next June, was defeated, and the delegate will either walk or pay his own hotel bills and railway fare. Mr. S. W. Rus- sell, the newly elected superintendent of the juveniles in this District, said that the children would be represented even if this had to be done. The grand chief templar had recom- mended that the membership of the sub- ordinate lodges should become more act- ively interested In the work of suppressing the liquor traffic by opposing the granting of licenses, and in every suitable way take an active part in the temperance agitation. This met the approval of the committee on state of the order, and it was adopted as a policy for the future by the Grand Lodge. The legislative committee will also take more aggressive part in the efforts to se- cure temperance legislation and will appear before the committees of Congress and the Commissioners at all proper times and on all suitable occasions, and will supplement the work of the Anti-saloon League of the District. The watchword for the future will be “The Saloon Must Go.” At least, this was the decision of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge adjourned shortly be- fore midnight. Tonight's session will be held at Typographical Temple, on G street. > — The Odd Fellows’ Fair. The fair and bazaar, under the auspices of the I.0.0.F.,for the benefit of the widows and orphans of that body, which ts held at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 7th street, still continues to draw large crowds to witness its many excellent attractions. Last even- ing a contortion turn by Howard and Leigh and musical selections by Bixley con- tributed to the general enjoyment. The room is tastefully decorated and gives evidence of the hard work which has been put upon it. The following is a list of the booths and the ladies presiding over Busin them: Candy table, Mrs. Shackelford; china table, Mrs. J. B. Hammond; flower table, Mrs. T. W.
