Pullman, pastor of Second alist Church of Baltlmore, has just a letter from his son, Mr. George man, who at the time of the writ- ing. was at Constantinople as financial agent of Miss Clara Barton, president of the American National Red Cross. Miss Barton's party sailed from New York Jan- *), to visit Armenia. letter of Mr. Pullinan is dated Ayaz vs that the destitution in Armenia is terrible, and the field so great that the efforts so far put forth have accomplished very little. Among other things, the letter contains the follow- ing: “When -ve came to Constantinople we Went to the Pera Palace Hotel, as it was not considere’ safe to go anywhere else. ‘The massacre In Stamboul was too recent to admit of any free moving about the city. The wonderful view from our back windows is beyond description. We are on Para Hill, three or four hundred feet above the water, and no buildings obstruct our view. The beautiful Bosphorus, blue as the vault of heaven, les at our feet, and on its tranquil bosom a thousand sailing and sieam craft, from the picturesque fe- lucca to the frownjng battleship, lie an- shored. At our lel we can trace the windings of the stream for miles toward the Black sea. At our right lies the Golden Horn, a deep, clear stream, separating Stamboul from Galata, or ancient and modern Constantinople, spanned by the famous Pera bridge. Across the Bospho- rus, and nearly opposite our house, fs Sou- tari, in Asia, and back of that town, Stretching away as far as the eye can Teach, are the Snow mountains, with the reen valleys beneath. We can see a large uilding, where Florence Nightingale had @ hospital In the Crimean war, and away off to the left we can catch a glimpse of Mount Olympus. There are many wonder- ful things in and around this great city, with its million inhabitants and two-thirds as many dogs. “Momerte Troy Is only fourteen hours away. Distances here are measured by the time required to journey from point to int. PeOur first expedition, with many thou- sands of dollars’ worth of supplies, started from Marasch and Zeitoun ten days ago. At Alexandretta a caravan of twenty-five camels will take the goods to the destitute Cities. Owing to a deep snow in the moun- tains, it will be a journey of about seven Gays. Dr. Hubbell, with two men and a Turkish guard, will accompany the cara- ¥an. The second relief party, with Mr. Wistar of Philadelphia, teayes today for Alexandretta. Wistar will take the second caravan to Harpout. “I shall remain in Constantinople for the ent, as the financial and diplomatic tuations, which, like the desert sands, @re shifting all the time, require my watch- ful_and constant attention. “There {g no danger in the interior, ex- cept from disease. With the exception of Mrs. Mason, who is suffering from lung fever, all our party are well. We are doing wonderfully well, considering the things said in America against Turkey.” ——s <6 BIRD SHOOTING NEAR TIES. Some Unprotected Game That It its Fun to Get and a Pleasure to Eat. From tho New York Sun. A gool many shooters are puzzled to know how they can get practice for bird shooting near the cities during close sea- sons without paying for practice at the traps. ‘There are several kinds of birds which fly in such a matner as to require skill in the killing, ard are not protected by law at any time. Of course, a small-gauge gun is best for such practice, as it takes more skill to kill with it than with a big gun, and the more skill required the better the practice. The kingfisher is a rapidly darting flyer, rather shy, and hard to kill. With a 28- gauge gun a shooter's ability would be well tested. The English sparrow, if put up badly seared, will give considerable sport, and the man who can get three with two shots out of a small flying flock may regard him- self as a good shot. Of course, a man wouldn't aim at the center of the flock and pull. He aims at particular birds, and, if he misses the ones aimed at, he calls the shot a miss. Red-winged and crow black- birds fly rapidly, when their nests are not rear by. They are not protected, and may be fpund in partly wooded pastures. Some sportsmen may object to this as be- ing useless slaughter, and it would be if the birds were thrown away, but the sportsman would not throw them away. He would dress them all, except the king- fisher, which taste fishy, and the potple they make would be followed by another be- fcre long. The English sparrows make a fine stew, as the flesh is always hard and sweet. see Yes; Call Them Wheelways. From the Youth's Companion. There is need of a good word for desig- mating a road from place to place exclu- sively for bicycles. Bicycle path is the term commonly used. There are several reasons why this is not a suitable term. In the fivst place, the word path proba- bly Is derived from the Greek verb patein (to waik), and means a footway. Secondly, the expression 13 too lorg; it has four syl- lables. Thirdly, it is clumsy; it has two accents. Fourthly, it is not euphonic. Instead of bicycle path, the Companion respectfully suggests wheelway. This word is analogovs tn its formation to driveway. The word has not been used in any other sense except by one or two writers incor- rectly to designate those parts of a wagon road in which the wheels run. ‘Way means the entire road, and not some part of {t. Wheelway is better than wheel road for the same reason that driveway is better than drive road. It suggests reor: mn fore utility. ae |FIRST IN WAR Men Who Came First to the Defense of the Union. REVISITING THE FEDERAL CTY Received Today at the White House and the Capitol. PENNSYLVANIA’S PATRIOTS The First Defenders are again in Wash- ington. The hundred or more gallant men who hastened to this city from Pennsyl- vania at the announcement of danger thirty-five years ago rolled irto the 6th street depot on schedule time last evening, and the reception awaiting them was en- thusiastic and hearty. The roception com- mittee, together with Congressmen Galusha. A. Grow, T. M. Mahon, J. H. Hicks, W. A. Stone, I. P. Wanger, Chas. N. Brumm, E. F. Acheson and C. J. Erdman, and also Messrs. Charles F. Garrett, J. J. McDon- ald, Norman H. Cole, W. F. McCay, A. H. Potts, H. B. McKeen, S. E. Allen, G. J. Bridahan, T. F. Lewis, W. E. Bickford, S. H. Simpson, C. E. Harris, J. H. Barnsby and W. R. Householder, stood on the depot platform and ihe arrivals knew they were more than welcome. The Sccend Regiment Band was in the depot and it played an appropriate air as the Defenders alghted from the train. The visitors were then escorted to the rear of the military escort. Without delay the parade started and proceeded westward on Pennsylvania avenue to Willard’s Hotel, Ringgold’s Band of Reading, Pa., which accompanied the visitors, took the head of the line and started off with “Marching Through Georgia.” Then followed Lieut. Col. M. E. Urell and stxff, in the rear of whom was Maj. Burton R. Ross at the head of the first battslion, D. C. N. G. Next in line was the Second Regiment Band. The fourth, fifth and sixth battalions of the National Guard, a representation from the cngineer corps, the Old Guard, the Hen- derson Drum Corps, the Union Veteran Legion, the Metropolitan Rifles and the visitors appeared in line in the order nam- ed. On reaching the hotel the Defenders passed In review and on ass2mbling in the lobby it was announced that the civic re- ception arranged for last night had been postponed until this evening, when Com- missiorer Ross is to deliver an address of welcome. It was further stated that the President and Speaker Reed would both receive the Defenders this morning. In view of the fatigue resulting from the busy day spent by the old-timers in Baltimore the majority of them sought repose last evening at an early hour. The Defenders feasted and were feted at Baltimore yesterday. A dinner was tender- ed them in Dushane Post Hall, in whic 300 persons participated, including many notables. The freedom of the city was ex- tended to them, and for six hours the en- tertainment afforded was all that could be desired. Welcomed by the President. By special arrangement made by the local committee with Private Secretary Thurber; President Clevelund received the visiting “First Defenders’ from Pennsylvania this morning instead of tomorrow, as had been crigitally planned. The change was made in order that the visitors might spend to- morrow at Mt. Vernon The reception teck place in the east room at 10 o'clock, and wag confined to the veterans who had responded so promptly to the first call for troops for the defense of the capital. They were accompanied by the local rception committee and their own band, which played patriotic airs as they entered and left the building. They arranged themselves around the room in a semi-circle, and applauded the President when he appared. Judge F. P. Dewees, representing the citizens’ committee of re- ception, made a short address to the Pres- ident in behalf of the old soldiers, telling the noble part they had played’ in the struggle for the preservation of the Union, He said that the 130 men who were with him constituted nearly all the survivors of that noble band of 530 soldiers who were the first to respond to the President's call for troops at the very outbreak of the war. One of the principal objects of their visit to Washington at this time, on the thirty-fifth anniversary of their first visit, he said, was to pay their re- spects to the President of the United States, as well as to attest their allegiance to the country they helped to save. In reply, President Cleveland said he was very glad of the opportunity to welcome veterans with a record so worthy as theirs and to felicitate them on being able to leave the memory of such a record to pos- terity. There were duties in time of peace, he said, as well as in time of war, and the country could confidently expect men with a record such as theirs had been to do their duty equally well in time of peace. In closing he said he would be pleased to take each of them by the hand. The “defenders” were then individually introduced to the President, and each re- ceived a cordial greeting. Upon leaving the White House the visitors repaired to the Capitol. Speaker Reed received them in the lobby back of the Speaker's desk. They were in- troduced by Mr. Brumm, and the Speaker shook hands with each in turn. They. then marched into the hall of the House with the “first flag of the war” at their head. There they were greeted with cheers by all the members present on both sides of the House, the ex-confederate Congressmen joining in the ovation. The defenders then dispersed, and a majority of them visited Fort Myer this afternoon for the purpose of witnessing the weekly exhibition drill by the sixth cay- alry. No special program has been mapped out for this evening, but tomorrow a visit is to be made to Mount Vernon, Marshall Hall and Fort -Washington, leaving the city at 10 o'clock and returning about 2:30 o'clock. The departure for Harrisburg will be made about 4 o’clock tomorrow after- noon. The officers of the Defenders a Presi- dent, H. B. Eisenbise of Lewistown; vice presidents, A. H.

A Nevada Man and His Response to the Bishop, From the San Francisco Post. One of the most pépular men that ever lived in the state of Nevada was Bishop Whittaker of the Episcopalian Church, who is now in Pennsylvania, and many stories are told at his expense. One of the best that I have ever heard is the incident that Make Tarpey, the politician, relates when- ever the good bishop's name is mentioned. “Although I’m a Catholic,” gaid he, “and the bishop an Episcopalian, we always thought a great deal of each other. There was nothing that I would not do for the bishop, so that accounts for the fact that I was driving with him from Pioche to Dry Valley to help him raise money with which to build a new Episcopal chuezh in Pioche. “One of the most peculiar characters in that neighborhood was a man who was generally known by the sobriquet of Billy- be-Damn. He earned it by reason of the surpassing eloquence of his profanity. He could outswear any man in Nevada, and in those days it took better than a raw hand at cussing to do that. Billy was bald-head- ed, and he was firmly convinced that the custom of imprisoning the hair in a hat was responsible for its loss. For that rea- son he usually wore a hat with the crown cut out of it, or no hat at all. “As the bishop and I were driving along he suddenly seized me by the arm, exclaim- ing: “Stop! Hold on a minute!” “I pulled up the horse and saw Billy-be- Damn turming a windlass just below the road. As usual, he had no crown on his hat, and the hot July sun was beating down on his shiny pate In a way that threatened swnstroke at least. “My good man,’ gaid the Mshop, ‘don’t now that this hot sun beating down ur unprotected head will bake your brain? “ ‘You fool, do you suppose if I had any brain I'd be turning this. windlass?" ——__—+e+ The Donnelly License. Another chapter has been added to the celebrated Donnelly cage, Attorney Wilson, representing the protestants against grant- ing a wholesale lice filed a brief with the q¥cise! Board in answer to the one recently by ,Atiarney. Mat- tingly, a brief summary of which was print- ed:at the time in TH! Stary 5 This case, it will bé jfecalled, has been be- fore the public for ajjong time. Donnelly keeps a grocery storetat the corner of Lith and I streets and seeks a wholesale. liquor licensé. “Tt was clainted that he was not entitled tg a Ucense in view wf: the fact that he had no license at the time of the passage vf the new diquor.law, and-that the subse- quent licenses. were: not properly . granted. On the other ind, Donnelly has shown that he had an application pending at the time and this, his attorney claims, is a license within- the meaning of the law. In his brief Attorney. Wilson denies that the cbjection to this licenre is contined to Mr. John W. Thompson, but says the objection comes from “all those*residents on I street who are nearest to ‘dnd most injured by Donnelly’s liquor store, and their sole pur- pose is and has always been to secure the strict and impartial enforcement of the law.” The attorney goes into the history of the case since 188), when, he says, a remenstrance was filed against licensing the place. Touching upon the question of a pending appiteation and its meaning, he says the law does not recognize Hcenses by sufferance or inference. Néither the lan- guage nor the policy of the law would ato Donnelly, has |- justify the assumption that a mere applica- tion for a license should have the same ef- fect as an actual license. a A Load, Not a Cold. From the Indianapolis Journal. “Where’s Bili Clark this morning?” asked the bookkeep«r. i “He sent word to the office this morning that he had a heavy cold,” said the second head bookkeeper. “Oh! When I saw him last night I was almost sure he had a heavy load of some kind, but I did not think it was a cold.” You'll Be Amply Repaid —for the trip you make down town to | buy your Household Supplies of us, We are acknowledged leaders—both Where quality and price are considered.
