An old alligator

All day he lay sunning

Elevator etiquette is thus laid down
by a Boston paper: "Only in private
residences Is it 'good form' for gentle
men to remove their hats In an elevator
In the presence of ladles. In hotels and
business buildings there is no more ob
ligation for men to bare their heads
than in a street car or railroad train."
The fallen woman who advised a "so

around the factories and try and have
the girls' wages raised instead of try

and luminous truth. In nine cases out
of ten such Nice is the direct result of
poverty.
The estimate of tiie cost of the Nica
ragua canal by th?? lust party of gov
ernment commissioners to look over the
route is SllO.boO.MiO. An Increase of
$40,JW,OM over the earlier estimate
suggests the need of caution '.n consid
ering the project. The country will de
mand a more positive assurance as to
the cost than Is yet In s'jrht.
The total value of ail farm property

was about 1 per cent less than that

The London Daily News presumes
that the powers have accepted a Mus
sulman instead of a Christian as 11 gh
Commissioner for carrying out the re
forms In the administration of Arme
nia demanded by them, and adds: "If
so it will be a severe disappointment
to Armenia's best friends." It might
have added it would be a disappoint
ment to the whole civilized world. If
a Turk Is to be at the head of the scheme
there will l- no reforms, there will be
more massacres like the horrible butch
eries now going on at Treblzond, AdiU
and Anatolia, where hundreds of Chris
tians have been murdered pending the
promulgation of the scheme by the Sulv
lime Porte. All there is to an agree
ment Is the manner in which It Is car
ried out. How the Sultan, with a Turk
ish High Commissioner, would carry
It out Is shown in the statements of the
Turkish papers that he has already be
gun to introduce reforms in Anatolia
by increasing and reorganizing the
gendarmerie and "police force, wbi.-h
only means more soldiers, more niur
ders and more taxation. It Is incredible
that the great lowers wlih h have con
trol of Turkey should allow these mas
sacres to continue anil permit them
selves to be deceived over and over
again by the unspeakable Turk.
It will gratify Christian people every
where to learu that at last the Kuro
pean powers have forced the Sultan to
take steps which may fairly be expect
ed to prevent a recurrence of the Arm-1-nlan
ma-ssacres. No one will misinter
pret tiie motives actuating the Turkish
authorities. The porte is no nearer to
civilized practices than It has ever
been. 1 he fact is, of course, that the
comb'.ued coercion of six European
powers has been too much for the Turk,
ami be hits acceded to the demands of
civilization simply from the impulse of
self-preservation. The extent of his
unwilling acquiescence is measured by
the fact that he has not only assented
to the entire program laid down by the
European powers, but has agreed to ac
cept the Installation of a Christian to
put the new system in operation. In
view of this triumph for humanity It
dox-s not seem too much to bie that at
last a means has been found of making
the unspeakable Turk obey the dictates
of nineteenth century clviiizat.om Here-
tofore the Sultan has promised lavishly
and broken his promises with simiiar
extravagance. The system perfected
by the European powers does not seem
to admit of much promise breaking
without Instant and very wholesome
retribution for It This time he may
try to break his promises If be likes
and his underlings in power may seek
to inflict other outrages on the Arme-
nians. but the forces of Christian Eu
rope stand ready to balk further mis-
deeds.
Southern Hospitality.
A discourse on Southern hospitality
would be upon an old text; but as most
old texts are the especially good ones.
It would be a pity quite to drop them.
It has been predicted that with the
abolition of slavery and the consequent
difficulty In securing household assist
ance, there will be a decline of the old
famed hospitality; that it will not out
live this generation. Were the hearti
ness of this virtue confined to eutlug,
drinking and housing, we might fear
that with increased household labor
might be decreased cordiality of enter
tainment but there ia a further mani
festation than the mere attention to ap
petite. It's the being welcome to what
they have, rather the attention to what
they have, which especially marks the
warmth of the Southern manner; we
hope It la long that we shall know and
remember this beautiful virtue. Wom

At 2 o'clock the ilrft body of tie
afternoon's find w;i taken out of the
ruitis. Friends of Ihe miming formed
a circle about the enrched figure of a
girl, from which one foot was missing,
but there was no one to speak her
name. A silver watch was secured,
with gold chain and charm, also a dres-s
p.n with garnet Benin?. A lew mo
ments later a gentleman entered and
identified the articles as those of li s
daughter, Emma Lichtenburg.
A few minutes before 3 o'clock th"
ghastly find of the day was made. It
was the trunk of a woman. The body
was bloody, the arms and feet bumf d
off. The head was seen at some little
distance from the trunk, completely
severed by a falling timber. It was
bard work getting out these, awful re
mains, for they were pinned down by
timbers and the men had to saw away
the wood bit by bit. Fred Weidbusch
looked only at the red undershirt and
corset and declared it was one of his
two daughters, Annie or Lizzie, he
could not tell which one, as they
dressed alike. ' When th other one is

miles with turn, double scull, for the
world's chant pionsl ip and a urne ot

Bubear and Barry, and the America's
flyers, Teemer and Rogers. Both crews
were in the pink of condition, and the
course, with a gentle south breeze blow
ing over it, was all the sportsmen could
desire. The start was made in txcel
lent style, Teemer and Rogers taking
water slight! r ahead. Bubear and
Rarry followed and a
few ..weeping
strokes sent them ahead of the Anieri

to gain on them and bo'h crews
rounded the mile and a half ilag
together. Down the home stietcli they
were neck and neck. At the three
quarter stake tbe Englishmen had
forged ahead about a half boat's length.
The Americans again exerted them
selves and as they neared the last quar

of a mile of the home line. At this
