MISS CLAUDIA STUART, Pri DER THE ORGAN'S SPELL. ‘The Strange Effect of Church Music on a Young Weman of Evanston. From the Chicago Chrontele. Church musie has a strange effect upon the sensibilities of Miss Bessie Ayres of Evanston. During the service at the First Congregational Church in that suburb Miss Ayres was completely hypnotized by the strains of the organ, and she finally went into a hypnotic trance, from which she was resuscitated with the greatest difficulty. The usual notices had been given out, and then Dr. Loba made the usual matter-of- fact announcement: “The morning collec tion will now be taken.” Scott Wheeler, who was presiding at the organ, at once started into a particularly powerful selee- tion from one of Dudley Buck's composi- tions. As soon as the strains of the organ were beard those sitting near Miss Ayres noticed that she half rose in her seat as if to change her position. Then she seemed to think better of {t, and sat down again. In a moment those in the same pew noticed that her fingers were twitching nervously and that her face had become so red as fo be nearly purple. It was evident that something was wrong. ‘A kindly disposed lady sitting in the pew bebind asked Miss Ayres tf she could give her any assistance. She turned to reply to the well-meant inquiry, but ne words came ficm her Itps. She seemed to be making a desperate struggle with some emotion, and her whole body was row twitching, as if she were the victim of St. Vitus’ dance. Suddenly the blood left Miss Ayres’ face as it had come, and left her as pale as death itself. She made an attempt to rise, wavered, tried to catch herself on the pew in front, and fell headlong into the alsle with a jar which startled every one on that side of tae church. She was carried out of the audience room te the open air, where, it was thought, she would at once recover, but she was still as insensible as when first picked up. After a few moments of vigorous work she slow- ly began to revive, much to the relief of her nutses. The usual question of “Where am I?” was asked by Miss Ayres as soon as she recovered conscioveness sufficiently to become aware of what was going on about her. “I have not the first memory,” she went on, “of anything that happened after I heard the first strains of the voluntary.” Dr. Loba, the pastor of the church, when questioned about the occurrence, said: “Miss Ayres has for a long time been suf- fering with brain trouble, but that does not affect her unless she hears the strains of a church organ. For a long time she stay- ef away from church on this account, for her spell today was but a repetition ef for- Mer experiences. There appears to be something uncongenial, or else too con- genial, between her pecullar nervous tem- perament and the sound of an organ, and she can never hear that class of music without feeling the effects of it.” FOR OVER-INDULGENCE Take Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. It preserves and renews the vitality, strengthens the nerves and stimulates the stomach to healthy action. ANACOSTEA. Judge I. G. Kimball of the Police: Court, Washington, lectured Sunday night at the Minnesota Avenue Presbyterian Church, under the auspices of the temperance com- mittee of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor. A conference was held last night in the hall over Mr. Thomas Gray’s store between | the lecked out drivers of the Anacostia railway company, sonre of the citizens of several of the neembers of the Street Rail- @sposed to weaken to stand firm, and Reve that President Griswold will eventual- . ly yleld Bis present position, and take his former employes back into his service. Speeches were made by Messrs. W. C. Var Hoy, R. D. Buckley and others. The leading address was by Mr. Van Hoy, who maintained that the revenues of the ratl- way company are being so much affected by the coaches that Mr. Griswold will be ferced, for the protection of his own inter- ests and those of his stockholders, to again give his old men work and at the rate af pay asked by them, $1.50 per day. Mr. Michael Casey of the executive board of the Street Railway Assembly, who was Present, said that it was the intention of the managers of the coach line to increase the facilities of the enterprise, and that the boxes for the collection of nickles or coins of larger denomination have been taken out of the vehicles. ‘The question between Mr. Griswold and his former drivers, backed by the railway assembly, seems to have resolved itself in- to one of endurance. The members of the latter freely admit that it is their tntention to run the coaches so long as the funds are ferthcoming to do so, and President Gris wold has on several occasions told a Star reporter that he will not, under any cir- cumstances, take his old men back, or pay, a different rate of wages from the present. It is also asserted by officials of the com- pany that the traffic of the road is as good as it was at this time last year. ——e GAYPHERSBURG.

TRE CRIME GF THE CENTURY. | Festimeny of a Cunstantineple Cor respomdest as to Armenian Outrages. The folowing letter has been received In Boston from a reliable cerrespondent In Constantinople: “The Turks have induced some of the subsidized European papers to speak of these crimes as Armenian outbreaks, etc... but the ambassadors have full reports, | which they eught to publish, that Pefute all | this, and show conclusively that the sui- tan, within a day er two after he signed the reform scheme, ordered the Armenians to be massacred im order that there shouli be ne question of an Armenian majority in any of the previnces. The people flew on the spoil, and se did not execute the sul- tan’s wish to the full. But the loas of life has been awful. Moreover, there seems no way of preventing more of the same sort. “It is the most awful crime of ‘he cen- tury, beeause it is so persistently falsitied by its authors. “Everywhere the story Is the same—a de- liberate preparation. And then a story sent to Eur»pe thet the Armenians attacked the inoffensive Turks and were reduced to or- der after a few had been killed. “Worse thmes are in store for us. Europe is divided in counsel, and the Turks, finding that nothing Is done for this. crime, will go on to extramities, The highest Mosiem court has declared that the sultan cannot lawfully be restrained in the exercise of his will, since he is the representative cf God for the whole earth. “From 15,000 to 20,000 people have been cruelly slaughtered during the Iast month, and in consequence no less than 100, per- sons heretofore dependent on them for their daily food are now in want. The coming winter will witness a vast amount cf suf- fering. It is net alone at Szssoun, but all over the land, where these occurrences have taken place.” +0 THE SULTAN’S FAMILY. It is Large, and There Are Frequent Changes in Its Personnel. From the Chicazo Recowl. A gentleman who has lived in Constanti- rople says: “The harem of the present sultan is a mu- seum of living pictures, a fine collection of every nationality, a regular fair of the fair sex. He has over 600 wives and concubines, besiles a mumber of female servants and playmates. All are intrusted to the eare of the aga, the chief eunuch (in the book of Esther he is termed the Heiga). The only legitimate wife is she who marries him first. Those who come afterward are merely con- cubines and favorites. The advantages and superiority of the first wife le only in the fact that her children are recognized as fit for the throne, otherwise she ig subjected to the regular harem discipline, like the rest. More often than not the sultan pays greater attention to one of his favorites than to her. But those favors are as changeable as the weather. Today it is Zauleika, tomorrow it is Fatima, The harem gets every year an ad- ditional living ornament, donated by the nation, through a strange religious custom. “Ramadan ts the perlod of the year corre- sponding to the Christian Lent, and during that month the Moslem abstains from food, @rinking, and even from smoking, devoting himself to fasting and religious exercises. At ‘the end of Ramadan the Moslem world celebrates the three days’ feast known as the ‘Kurban Beiram’ (the sacrifice of Abra- ham). The first night of that great feast an illumination takes place and the nation donates to the sultan a gift as a token of loyalty—a tribute in the shape of a hand- some virgin. So it goes on year after year. “The harem life would be regarded by western women as very monotonous, but to these orientals, who are brought up from irfaney in its seclusion and isolation, it has plenty of variety. There is plenty of music and dancing, sweet candies, cakes and pies, arothatic coffee to sip, and fine stories to listen to, Besides, there prevails an ambi- tion among the inmates. which keeps them all the time in a certain activity; the ambl- tion to ‘appear handsomer than their rivals. What becomes of these houris? They also serve a state purpose. The sultan, in his generosity when he decorates a high official as a token of recognition for his services, cften adds a living picture from the royal harem.” PECULIAR CHINESE PARENTS. What They Are Apt te Do im the Case of Siekly Female Children. Frem Blackwood'’s Magazine. It is a disagreeable fact that Chinese pa- rents are in the habit in certain circum- stances of abandoning female infants to death by starvation, and it is one that an apologist for China would like to pass over in silence. On the other hand, nothing is gained by exaggeration, and as far as my most limited experience allows me to speak, it is enormous exaggeration to talk as if Chinese mothers exposed their daughters habitually afid without a second thonght. At any rats, the people of Fair Reply would repudiate the charge with amazement. “He hau kai, tso mak kai fit?” “If she ts a good one why throw away?’ they would ask. Why, indeed, when a girl of ten in good health and fairly bonny will always fetch $100; while each of the next five or six yeers will add 310 to her market value? So remembering that from the aze of five she will be useful to gather bambu husks for fuel, mind the baby, feed the buffalo, and a year or two later eut fern, dix. up pis- tachio nuts and earry water, it will be seen that a healthy female child will be by no means an unprofitable investment. But if the child be sickly, then it is different. The nastly Hitle thing looks so red and helpless and repulsive. If it dies within doors its fractious spirit will remain there, and add another torment to the leeming world of devils that surrounds us. Better for all parties to deport the tiny spirit to some Yonely spot, turn away quickly, and think of something else. Charity might possibly accept some such revulsion of the maternal instinct in explanation, and the anthropolo- gist will remember “nature,” that “holy thing,” and the case of the so aptly cited in this conn = Gee e A Superior Woman. From the Chicago Post. “She is really a very superior woman.” “Indeed! Is she a good speaker?” “Oh, no. I don’t believe she ever made a public speech.”* “Writes, possibly?” “I never heard of it if she does.” “What makes her superior to other wo- men, then?" “She can cook.” 4&4 MEW VARIETY OF HERMIT. Lives Aloge, but is Neither Misan- I thropie Nor Untidy. Fram the Portland Presa. Uncle John Cusack, the hermit of Moose Island, has just solid part of his insular do- main in Moosehead lake, and, te this ex- tent, has abdicated the long seclusion in which he has dwelt for about thirty years. He retains 200 acres, upon which his house and stable stand. Four hundred aeres he has sold to a wealthy woman, said to be a southerner, who will build there her sum- mer residence. It was near the close of the civil war | John Cusack, now # hale and hearty man. of sixty-five years, came from Reedfield, Me. and pitehed his camp upon Moose Island, which subsequently he bought. He was a man of intelligence and some educa- tien, who had studied law. Here he worked for various iumver firms that operated about the head waters of Maine's great rivers in the Moorehead lake region. Ener- | getic, industrious and te, he be- came famovs on the west branch of the Penobscot for his wonderful skill in log riding, a proficiency exercised to great ad- vantage in getting the log drives down the broken waters of that swift and turbulent si tream. In his primitive castle on Moose Island John Cusack lives on terms as patriarchal and friendly with the dumb animals which are his companions as did Robinson Crusoe with his g& In the summer his sleek oxen, sheep and pouitry forage well for themselves over the slopes and fertile meadows of the isiand. In the winter, should it chance that John Cusack desires to go away to remain for several days, he does nut trouble himself to import a man to care ior these creatures. He pitches haif ton of hay down into the middle of the barn oor, scatters corn and grain around where the hens can get to it, opens the barn floor, scatters corn and grain spring for water at pleasure, and away for an indefinite time, with assured contidence that all will be well at home. Despite his secluded and celibate Nfe- Uncle John is a bachelor—he has no aver- sion to human society, but, on the con- trary, enjoys it, and he is especially gal- lant and chivalrous to the fair sex. In the solitude of Moose Esland he doesn’t find much of a field for conversation, but he makes full ainends when he emerges, as he often does, into the settled communities. Then, by the stove of a country store or in a hotel office, he can talk a continuous streak, without pause. for rest or refresh- ment, for six hours at a stretch, and then stop, when ice at last is called, as fresh and colloquia! as a: the beginning.

Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced by this thonght, many eminent physicians have called from time to time upon the Shakers of Mt.

The Shakers willingly told what they had learned, and In return received from thelr visitora: much valuable infarmation about disease, whieh they at once made practical use of.

The result of these consultations was the discovery by the Shakegs of the destred specific, made wholly from herbs, and now known as the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
