A Chicago woman, highly esteemed, wonderfully honored, returning home from a tour of Luroi-, announces that In her opinion there is little foundation for the reports of atrocities perpetrated ujiou the Armenian by the Turks. She did not. however, visit Armenia, but acquired her information at Constantinople. Po sibly In this fact is to be found reason to doubt the justice of her conclusions.

The Connecticut Legislature is dis cussing the best means for protecting and developing tbe oyster product of that State. The importance of the sub ject becomes clear when It Is consider ed that there are 70,0 ") acres devoted to oyster raising on the sound front, valued at $4.0H0.ui0 and that the prod uct of the plant brings in over $1,000, 000 annually. Gen Lew Wallace in flying to the de fense of the Turk shows a generosity almost unprofessional Tbe legal in stinct and training that impels an attor ney to engage in criminal practice us ually requires the stimulation of a fee, tmd so far as known Gen.

A Brooklyn man has raised a novel question in the courts.
