He If working for God's kingdom , and ] < i to take Ihe pbca usurped by a thousand petty rulers.

"Our wise frleiJ , Dr. Holge , one ? te erllpd the contrast bclwcen the conduct of J CPUS' nml tiex ) ! > petty rulers as the contrast be tween religion and religiosity. Ua \ so good a wcrd that It will stay ; for Indeed we needed R word for Ihlo fussy , narrow' , cxasperollng hab'l ' which only degrades men's estimate of religion. For we have begun lo hear men npeak with a sneer of religious people , ao If the word meant that they were petty and narrow. It Is a good thing It we can define people who deserve the definition , at people who show much religiosity and have llttlo religion. TAKE HUSK TOR CORN. "We are not untissl to similar contrasts where the same word expresses two forma of character , one of uhlch we praise , and the other we despise. Thus , we extol the posi tion of a good man of business ; we praise him because he Is a good man of business ; we approve the Industry of Iho btt'-y bee Bul , on Iho olher hand , lo ray a man or a woman la a busy body U lo condemn cither. For we mean thai where a perron prelends only lo a qunllly which is csllmablo , Ihe pre tense degrades him. Just so It ! that when people pretend to a friendship for religion , while they show only an Interest In Its outside ritual , we deride their pre- tcnj ? . These are the people of religiosity , who are not people of religion. ' "The danger coij."s f-3m .1 rutlous livv of liuman nature.

A\ omen Mint it ml llnckcil to I'leeex One TliotiMtttil Mil III mill HOIIMUH mill 1'roiierly Iliirneit. , The tunsrncro of the Armenians by the Turks has been of such an atrocious char acter as to be almost beyond belief and there U apparently a wide-spread Idea that many of the reports bearing on the sub ject have been greatly exaggerated. A letler wrlltcn by Hev. L. O. Leo has just been re- clvcd by his brother , Charles II. Lee , of th'o ' city , bearing on the ntitsjacre of Ar menian Christiana at Mnrnsh on November 13. Mr. Lo has written several letters to his friends In this country , but the Turks have kepi such sharp walch over the cor respondence of American missionaries that It ha been Impossible to give anything llko n complete account previous to the writing of the pic'ent letter. Mr. Lee , who Is at the head of Iho Mnrnsh Academy and Theo logical school , wrllts under date of Novem ber 29 as follows : For some time preceding our visitation of November 13 wo had disturbances In the city , which In Iho end summed up about fifty deaths. There were ugly rumors In the air for a few days preceding the final catas- Iropho and Christians had lemalned closely nt home and none of their shops weto opened. On the motnlng of the final day we noticed filing on a dlstanl hill in Iho cly ( , bill considered Ihls some local oul- brc.tk. Soon , however , soldiers begun firing Ihlo iwo houses which formed a part of the wall In which Mr. MacCallum ( Mr. Lee's nssk'tatU ' ) and I reside. Their Inmates fled Into our premises and the soldiers proceeded lo loot the two houses and the mob fol lowed , smashing doors , windows and everj- thlng else that would break. Meantime Ihe llnng broke oul almosl slmullaneously all over Ihe city , a place of 30,000 population , of whom 10,000 arc Christians Soldlcts had bscn slalloned In every place and proceeded lo execulo the lerrlble order , which had come from Constantinople , to kill all malet among the Christian1' . Toward noon we saw soldiers approaching our grounds onJ congiatulated ourselves lhat at last the gov ernor had sent us a guard , slnco he had re peatedly assured us that he would protect us. Not long after thew soldiers nrjlved v\e saw lhat they had entered the grounds of our theological seminary , Just across the street , and , discovering two students con cealed there , they flted upon them , wounding one BO that he died that night , while the olher was shot through Ihe body and llmba In four dlfferenl places , besides a severe cul on his head. LOOTED THE BUILDINGS. The scldlers then robbed the academy boarding houhc In the temlnary grounds , tak ing off the bedding and clothing of the students und the year's provls'oiia ' In sltlo Ihere. We afterward found the dead body of a neighbor , who had hidden there , lying on his face and stripped of all his clothing. The next step was to loot the seminary of bedding , clothing and anything ele that could be of any use to them. The local gov'- ' crnor had assured us thit the barracks not far from us were our permanent guard , when we taw relay after relay from these very barracks come and join In the plundering. About 3 o'clock In the afternoon we noticed four or flve soldiers enter the seminary and not long after smoke began Issuing from the building and we saw Ihe same work which had slirtcd conflagrations In thro ! : oilier Christian quarters was lo be our ex perience * There now seemed to be nothing left but to await our fate. A few minutes laler two moslelns were on oui ground and wo underslcod that our time had surely come , but we were mistaken. It appears that the sight of Ihe seminary in flames had at last aroused someone lo give us a llltlo Ihoucht and the knocking on Ihe gate was the arrival of a trustworthy captain and thirly soldiers for our protection. Wo had previously sent to both Ihe American and English legations in Constanlinople , indicating lhal we were In peril and they had promplly telegraphed us that the highest Turkish authorities In Ihe capllol had cent orders to our governor lhat he would be held slrlctly responsible for our safety. The criminal neglect of thai day , after ho had assured us lhal the bir- racks would adequately care for us , very darkly suggests that ho was quite wilting to leave us to any chance fate thai might befall us. ONE THOUSAND MASSACRED. Wo cannot ycl gel Irustworthy figures aa lo Iho olber number masracreJ , bul It will be surprising If It does not reach 1,000. We undeistand that the oiiglnal order from the capita ! was lo slay evcty man In this body of 10,000 Armenians. This was thwarled by many friendly Moslem neighbors , who concealed no tnnall number of those who escaped. Others hid and were overlooked In Iho general excitement. Sllll further , the plundering in which these Bashl-Bazooks en gaged , hindered Ihe full execution of the order. With exceptions , women escaped , al though In the regions of conflagrations many perished In Iho flames ralhcr than come forth lo bo shot or hacked in pieces. Tvvo Armenian churches wore burned , but the three Proteslanl churches remain. Ono of them was gutted and throe times the- mob camelo fire the third church , but was pre vented by a Moslem neighbor , as a conflagra tion would endanger his own hovire , A leacher , who was lemporarlly caring for Ihe first church , was slruck tdqwn , while the paslcra of Iho two other churches are In pilsan. Nearly all of those whom wehave , caned upon as ! leaders are gone. Thousands of houses were looted and many people brought to poverty who wcro previously comfortable. Some purchased Immunity from death and plunder by paying enoimoua iums lo the soldiery and thus were finan cially ruined. There Is one wall of gtlcf ascending to heaven over husbands , brothers and POMS lhal are no more. At this time of : ho year all the people who can afford It lay n their yeai'y store of ptovlslons , and now , with wlntDl * unon ihi m nliil i > \ irv imrmpn * taken Quay , and all bedding , the- condition of thoufJiulo Is most pitiable. Without large contributions from Christian lands there is nothing but further death by starvation , Theie la a crowd of cnllcis at our doors day after day , relating their trrilMe Ios.W3 qrul experiences. Wo had tend of iiuaraure * , anJ hat Is horrifying enough , but to be In the nldst of one , Is quite another thing. NATURE OF THE TORTURES.

OMAHA , Feb. 1C , 1896To the Editor of The Bee : In your otherwise full and excel lent report of my remarks at the recent dinner of the Society of the Sons of Omaha , two mistakes occurred , v hlcu I ask > ou to osrmlt mo to correct.- One was Unl I Jvcl si'gEesled the oiganlzatlon of the ajc'e'y. ' This 'u what I expressly Intended to dlc- claltn. crd , I think , did expllcllly dfi'lilm All the honor was due'to the young iui ) , und nof to me. The fecond Is where I was made to "score" Ihe president and charge him with being concerned In making our country "Ihe liug'ilng slock of Ihe financial won 1. " This Is ratlcr hard on me. I think th ? fact will be ichdlly recalled when I me lUoi itiftbal I was'kleallng/t when J used lhat Jansingp , not'jvvlth the president'but , with honest cheapimoney agltatorsi and dishonest dema gogues , who were Hying to prove thai "Iwo and'twoi make six , " and that "two quarts make a gallon , " on the- silver question. In discussing the various causes of financial depression I did refer to the Venezuelan war message as one of them , because .the people were not prepared for It as a threat of war , but the Idea that I said or Intl- rraled lhat Ihe presldenl was a party..to the financial wrongs and dangers of the time places me In such an absolutely false and ridiculous position , In my own eyes at least , that I cannot let the mailer pass without this notice and correction. All who know my respect and admiration for Ihe characlcr and courage of the president know thai I regard him In Ihls day of danger to the nallonal honor and credit as the one rock of Glbralter against which the madness of cheap money advocates 1ms beaten In vain in Iho slorm cenlers of Ihe sllvet agitation ; that he has been , and Is , the one great anchor of safety against the certain ruin thai would follow a change of the money standard from that of gold to silver mono metallism.
