PEOPLE ALMOST DESTITUTE The pitiable condition of the survivors of the Armenlan massacres and the alleged efforts of the Turkish authorities to retard the work of relief, are described in a com- munication just received here from an American gentleman now at the scene of the Sassoun massacre. The letter is dated August 1, and, after referring to the distri- bution of relief funds, which has been in- trusted to American missionaries, says, in part: Missionaries Disheartened. “The missionaries are now here, but the opposition of the Turkish government is 80 great that they can make but little pro- gress. They are much disheartened; but, of course, if they can have a fairly free hand, they will be more than glad to continue the work. The needs cannot be exaggerated. The people are completely prostrated. Two villages, samples of the thirty- that were destroyed, are now marked by crumb- ling walls, the roofs being so completely Gestroyed by the incendiary soldiers that not a chip remains to show they ever had roofs. The mass of the survivors of the Massacre were scattered about among the villages of the surrounding region and sup- ported by those scarcely better off than themselves. Two months ago most of the survivors were induced to return to their old homes, sow their fields with a kind of millet that matures in a few weeks and seek to establish themselves before the winter. Many have only a few boughs to cover a corner of their former homes, and furnish- ings are bare; a little hay to sleep on, with Possibly some filthy rags to throw over them, in place of abundant carpets. Almost Destitute of Clothes. “Hardly a child has more than the rem- nant of a tattered shirt to cover him, and many of the adults are not many degrees better off. Food is very scant, and working tools are lacking. In short, they are utter- ly prostrate, and must be put on their own feet by supplying them with everything, till they can begin the upward road toward the old prosperity. There are already more than 5,000 people to be thus cared for. England has already sent £1,000, and the Armenians themselves have raised two or three times this amount, but it will all be sufficient to do the work only very im- perfectly. Still, with sure prospects of re- form, and present protection, they would go at the great task before them with cheerfulness and hope. But alas! these conditions do not yet obtain, nor do we know that they will. The history of the Turkish rellef coamion is entirely char- acteristic of the national character. Character of Turkish Rellef. “When, despite the jherculean efforts to Prevent the world ‘from hearing of tha deeds of last fall, they saw that the world was aroused over it, dnd that there was a disposition to render atd, the sultan decid- ed to assume the role-of gracious benefac- tor, and announced. a gift of £2,000 to his beloved subjects. Only 400 of this Was sent in money, the rest In the form of due bills on the ftittre taxes of these provinces. A commission was organized to distribute this fund,, the salary of its members amounting’ to nearly {2 a day. The people were told that they could get this fund on eondition of signing a paper saying it was mot the soldiers who had injured them, but only they had had a little brush ‘with the Kurds, expressing their great thankfuinéss to ‘thelr sover- eign for his beanie and handing in their tax lists. It is hardly strange that no overwhelming fetling of gratitude swelled their hearts. when, in place of returning them the property: stolen, which it could easily do, the government, forsooth, offers a paltry dollar apiece, under the sweet name of charity! At first the peopla spurned the help entirely, but with the n odification that only a plain receipt should be required, they were persuaded to accept. Obstactesx in the Way of Distribution. “The English ambassador obta‘ned a prom. ise that all assistance should be afforded to the distribution of the English funds, end the American missionaries were re- quested to come and superintend, but the three weeks they have spent on the ground have seen almost nothing accomplished, be- cause the government has thrown obsta- cle after obstacle in the way, demanding that all distribution must be through its hands, forbidding the missionaries to do anything about building, the most imporz- ant thing. They were even forbidden to talk to the people about them. But this moment comes a letter from the consul, saying he has strong orders to ceme up himself and push the thing right through, and we hope a better day is dawning. Extent of the Outrages. “The first estimates of the slain were ex- aggerated,-as no one could get into the region, and the survivors were scattered in different directions. Probably not more than 4,000 really fell at the time; the others died of want, but the tales of beastly lust and fiendish outrage that here come to our ears exceed all we had dreamed of. and can never be allowed to soil the page of the clean historian.” —_——_+2+_ CRAWFISH INSIDE A FROG. A Case of Jonah, in Which the Whale Got the Worst of It. From the New York World. “There was as bad a case of cruelty at our hcuse recently as that of the Central Park sard wasp and the locust described in the Werld last Sunday,” said the manager of one of the largest apartment houses of the city the other day. ‘The manager has a fad for pets from the sea. He keeps his pets in a small fish pond in the court of the house. He came across scme large bullfrogs in the market one day and took them to the fish pund. One old fellow thrived there. He got so that he would sit on the edge and catch in his great mouth pieces of beef tossed to him. ‘This old frog was big and fat and com- fortable when a few young crawfish made their advent in the pond. The fat frog Picked out the one he thought jutctest, dived after him, swallowed him at a gulp and took his accustemed place, a sunny spot on the edge of th pond. “He looked very “comfortable at first,” said the manager, “but soon 1 noticed the old fellow was getting nervous. He shifted about on his seat, blinked his eyes very hard, scratched hishead with his toe and looked surprised. Then he opened his big mouth and retched and retched, but with no results. I left hjnf-making a heroic ef- fort to look pleasant “Next day the big;frog was still more restless. He kept gtowing worse and worse, got morose, took to bellowing until.peaple in tke house would to the windows in the court to see what jhe trouble was. “I saw the old fellow was going to dle, so I killed him. I ripped him open and out wriggled the crawfish, chipper as you please. The frog’s ¢arcass was hollow. All his works were inside ¢he crawfish.” ——__+e+—. What Nations Eat. From the Lonisville Courier-Journal. A statistician compiles the following fig- ures, showing the cost of nourishment for the various nations: The average English- man consumes $250 worth of food a year; Germans and Austrians, $216 worth; Frenchmen, $212; Italians, $110, and the Russians, only $96 worth of eatables per year. In the consumption of meat the Eng- lish-speaking nations are also in the lead, with 128 pounds of mect a year per capita of the population, the Frenchmen using 9% pounds: Austrians, 7; Germans, 72; Italians, 52, and Russians, 50 pounds of meat per year. The consumption of bread, hewever, is reversed, being compared to that of meat. The English use 419 pounds a year; the Frenchmen, 595; the Austrians, 905; Germans, 620; Spanish, 640; Italians, 660, and the Russians, 725 pounds of bread per year.

Rakemann were married last night at the Church of the Reformation in the presence of a very large gathering of reli tives and friends. Garlands of asparass end a profusion of white blossoms, amid a setting of palms, made a bower of the chancel and an artistic background for the grouping of the bridal party. The ushers, Mr. Carl Rakemann, Mr. Arthur Suther- land, Mr. Carl Graff and Mr. Carl Brock, were kept busy seating the guests until the arrival of the bride and her attendants. They preceded the-bridal procession up the aisle. The groomsmen and_ bridesmaids were Mr. Edward Droop and Miss Marie Antoinette Rakemann, Mr. H. K.

At the chancel the groom and his best man, Mr. Frederick Irland cf Detroit, awaited the bride. Rey. Dr. 0. K. Koones performed the ceremony. The bride’s gown was very elegant. It was of white silk, and the high bodice had a yoke of shirred chiffon and a bertka cf duchess lace. A butterfly bow of duchess lace fustened her tulle veil, and the shower bouquet she carried was of lilies of the valley, roses and pink orchids. The brides- maids and maid of honor were dressed alike, in white brocaded silk, trimmed with Ince and ribbon, and ‘they carried shower bouquets of pink roses. The music during the ceremony was a feature, Mr. John Por- ter Lawrence performing on the organ ard rendering a wedding march composed by Mr. Rakemann for the event. The reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Brock afterward at Congressional Hotel was a brilliant event. The drawing rooms were fragrant with flowers and the scene a most festive one. In the middle of the well-appointed supper table was the tall wedding cake, with a chime of bells gver it. The brice'’s gifts filled two rooms and every possible wish seemed to be gratified in the collection of beavtiful articles. When the bride appeared later in her traveling Gress the couple were given the merriest send-off. Mr. and Mrs. Rakemann have gcne north, and will do the White moun- tain wegion for their honeymoon.

An interesting variation in the usual run of submarine cable work will soon be shown in the laying of a cable from the mouth of the Amazon, 1,400 miles up the great river. This novel work will place the large and growing trade of the dim but rich interior in direct communication with Europe, as well as with the immediate shipping ports, and will unquestionably contribute largely to the development of Brazilian commerce. ‘To carry land lines over this vast and little known territory would simply be impos- sible, and, as tnere are practically no rail- roads paralleling the river, the steamboat and the cabie are the great means of com- merce and civilization. There is a hint here, however, that might well be adopted, even in the United States, where, if wires were cabled and carried along the beds of all available streams and rivers, there cer- tainly would not be the interruptions now experienced through the failure of the land lines every time a strong gale blows. In Germany, where military considerations often cause things to be done that would not be done in the mere interest of peace- ful trade,.no small proportion of the tele- graph wires are thus submerged, in order to avoid any break in the service at critical moments. Not Cheap, Major Moses P. Handy relates in the New York Mail and Express the following anecdote, which may well be pondered over by persons with a predilection for poker playing: A Chinese gentleman, staying at one of our big hotels, and finding the time hanging heavily on his hands, asked an American acquaintance to initiate him into the mysteries of the game of poker. Some other men were invited in, and the game was played with a two-dollar limit. The Chinaman was greatly interested, playing boldly and losing philosophically to the extent of about $100. Then he called a halt. When they were settling up the game one of the party, being desirous of breaking the solemn silence, said: “Well, Mr. ——, poker, how do you like him?" ‘The Chinaman shrugged his shoulders and said, with a far-away look in his eyes, “Good game,” and then added quickly and emphatically, “Not cheap.” The general opinion was that he had stated the cage in a nutshell. ———+e+—___ Abstainers From Meat. From the Vegetarian. A vegetarian diet does not mean living on cabbage, turnips, carrots and potatoes, but simply abstaining from the flesh of birds, beasts and fishes. Bread, fruits, nuts, peas, beans and the various grains form a diet unrivaled for the production of health, strength and happiness, while, with the ad- diticn of eggs, milk, butter and cheese, a vast variety of dishes can be prepared suit- able for every constitution or condition of life. Vegetarians having good digestions and clear consciences are always cheerful and happy—ne pessimists among them. THE OHIO IDEA Oomment on the Declarations on the Tariff Question at Springfield, Special Significance Attnched tg the Utterances of Senator Sherman ag Affecting National Affairs, The declarations of Messrs. Sherman, McKinley and Foraker on the tariff ques- tion In the opening of the campaign at Springfield, Ohio, yesterday have excited vor siderable interest here. Special signifi- cance is attached to the utterances of Mr. Sherman, his prominence in national af- fairs causing {t to be assumed that he Ieoks beyond the merely local sentiment in Ohio. It is known that Mr.-Reed does not desire the inauguration of a tariff fight during this Congress, when nothing could be accomplished by it, and it is understood that he is not in sympathy with the propo- sition to make the return to McKinleyism * the issue in the next presidential campaign. He prefers to treat the democratic tariff legislation as a confession of the correct- hess of the protective policy, and to make the Issue a general one of the inefficiency of the democratic administration in ail matters, including the tariff, with the management of foreign and financial af- fairp. The First Challenge. The declarations of Sherman and the others yesterday is looked upon as the first challenge of those who hold different views, those who want the fight to be made on the avestion of the restoration of the McKinley tariff, with the view of fixing that issue. The democrats, who do not want to make @ conter-tion for any further reduction of the tariff at this time. express a perfect willingness to allow the issue to be be- tween the general revision of the tariff with higher duties and letting the existing tariff stand. They declare that if Mr. Sher- man’s utterances are to be accepted as in- dicating the position of the republican party in the presidential contest, the silver question will no longer trouble the demo- crats, and they will all unite in the cry ‘against any further disturbance of the business Interests of the country.” Having done their tinkering, they are ready to stand In opposition to any other tinkering. The Silver Question Out. It Js believed that Reed, Allison and Har- rison will all resist the republican party's being committed to the Ohio idea, and the move at Springfield is looked upon with suspicion. Another significance attached to Mr. Sherman's making the restoration of higher proteciton the main issue is that he has become thoroughly satisfied that the silver men will in no manner con- trol the democratic national convention and that, therefore, the silver question will not make an issue between the can- didates of the two parties. —e—____. Spain Refases the Request. According to a dispatch to the State De- partment from United States Minister Tay- lor, the Spanish government has refused the request of the United States govern- ment that American missionaries be per- mitted to resume their evangelical labors in the Caroline Islands. It is said that the State Department does not regard this action as final, and that Minister Taylor has been instructed to again bring the matter to the attention of the Spanish authorities. ——__2—_______ To Command the Indiana. It is practically settled that Capt. Robley D. Evans, commanding the New York, will be assigned to the command of the new battleship Indiana as soon as that vessel is ready for commission. His successor on the New York has not yet been selected. = — DIED. BURGESS. On Tuesday, September 10, 1895, in- fant daughter of Harry A. and Alice H. Buc- ess. Funeral private. . SPER.
