Doctor's pardon for correcting him so

consume an oil painting and live. With
the goat, according to the humorous

The many friends of Martha E. Hol
den, who has contributed so largely to
the newspaper of Chicago over the
well-known signature of "Amber," as
well as the many who have read her
communications, will be pained to learn
that she has passed away after an ill
ness which at the last was brief, though
she bad been a sufferer for a consider
able period. She had worked bard and
bravely to support herself and children
In various avocations before doing reg
ular newspaper work. In which last tha
made a more than local reputation by
her cleverness, nuoonventlonality, and
cheerful optimism, which, now that she
has passed away, appears in a still
stronger light by reason of the suffer
ing she must have endured so long and
with so much courage and patience.
Much Interest will be developed In
the scheme of electric lighting by the
act of the Mayor of Buffalo In signing
the Niagara Falls power franchise, for
it secures the introduction Into that
city of electric power developed at the
falls. The proposed plan will bear uion
the problem of the economic distribu
tion of power produced at a distance
from the point of application. If suc
cessful It may be expected largely to
Increase the use of water power. In
all of the older States of the country
may be found many abandoned mill
sites on streams abandoned because

overbalanced, In cost of transportation,
the difference In cost of production be
tween the use of steam and of water
power. With a demonstration of eco
nomical distribution of electric power
over a wide radius, these abandoned
mill sites will have a new value. Power
developed there will be used by the
manufactories situated miles distant
on the lines of transportation.
Everybody knows that Wilhelm, the
German Emperor, estimates himself at
his full value, and sometimes over
shoots the mark a little; but no one
has ever supposed that be regarded it

By refusing to permit the Bed Cross
Association to distribute the supplies
that Christendom has gathered for the
relief of the Armenians, the Turkish
Sultan has condemned the Armenian
race to death by famine, by cold, and
by the sword. Compared to this lust
outrage against God and nature all
other crimes become venial The Sul
tan deliberately contemplates the mas
sacre of a nation. It is an Insult to the
Intelligence of the world when the Tur
kish Sultan'B agents plead his ability
and willingness to relieve the Armen
ians. By his connivance. If not by his
direct orders, the sword has destroyed
thousands of them, the famine has
slain other thousands, the cold of the
Armenian mountains has killed others,
and the pestilence that follows these
horrors has well nigh completed the
work of destruction. The Sultan nei
ther has been able nor willing to ameli
orate these Infamies of agony, lie
made professions of willingness when
It seemed likely that Euro? would
unite to compel him to keep his pledges
of Armenian reform, butas soon as the
complication of affairs in Africa and
Venezuela made European activity on
behalf of Armenia doubtful, the Sultan
assumed his old attitude of despotism.
With the Venezuelan and African uues
tions out of the way the Armenian Is
sue will regain its international import
ance. Never before has a government
that professed civilization hindered the.
benevolent work of the Bed Cross. Its
philanthropic work was approved by
our own administration in the yellow
fever smitten districts. Russia wel
corned Its agents In a season of fain
iue. Spain and Italy welcomed them
In time of cholera. Turkey alone has
denied to them the exercise of their
benevolent functions.. No special plead
Ing will avail to mitigate the crime of
the Sultan. He has decreed to murder
a race.
WOULD NOT SING WITHOUT PAY
T rouble Which Chora Glrle Brought
Upon the Oncrt Manager.
There Is trouble In the ranks of the
grand opera chorus singers at the
Metropolitan Opera House, New York
City. The decision of the management
to give Sunday night concerts In which
the chorus should take part was f 1
lowed by an order for the chorus girls
to appear upon such occasions. This
provoked some Indignation, which lie
came dire wrath when It was made
known that, while the Italian members
of the chorus would receive $2.50 for
this extra work, the American girls
would not get a cent extra. This dls-
crimination against home talent nearly
provoked a strike, especially as an ap
peal to tlie management secured no re
dress. The American girls were told
that If they did not sing Sunday nights
they would not be permitted to slug
other nights, and their places would be
filled. This threat stopped the threat
eued strike, and the American girls
have accepted the ultimatum with res
ignation. In the meantime the Italian
singers have been viewing the troubles
with much complacency, if not with
actual pleasure.

A novelty In journalistic enterprise
comes from Fpain. It is a weekly illus

The price Is moilest enough in view
of the peculiar advantages which are
offered to subscribers. From an nr

learn that the reader has tint to send

Washington-, March 5. What win
the president do with the Cuban reso
lutions should they erer emerge from
the conference committee aud reach
him r The fact that it was an open se
cret that the president and Secretary
Oiney were disposed to proceed in a
very conservative manner in regard
to Cuban recognition, fully appreciat
ing the many difficulties surrounding
the question, was stated in the United
press dispatches of February 28 last,
and has since been repeated and con
tinued from other sources. It if well
understood in congress that but for a
knowledge of this fact, and a conse
quent indisposition to embarrass the
executive, a joint resolution, instead of
concurrent resolution, would hare
been adopted by both houses. It is
felt by leading members of the house
that the president can be depended
upon to do what Is proper, and that
the action of the two bouses in passing
resolutions favorable to the Cuban in
surgents gives him the indorsement of
Ihoae bodies should be deem it proper
to issue a proclamation of belligerency.
But will be take such a step? That
question was put yesterday by a United
press representative to a number of
prominent republicans and democrats
In the house. The republicans claimed
to bare no knowledge of the execu
tive's intentions and said the only per
on competent to speak with intelligence
upon the subject was Mr. Cleveland
himjelf. The democrat leaders were
equally uncertain. In their opinion
the president will study the situation
carefully, and If be should be satisfied
from the official correspondence that
Weyler proposes to inaugurate a reign
of terror in the island, he will Incline
more strongly to accord the insurgents
belligerent rights than would other
wise be the case. It is not believed
that under anv circumstances be will
act upon the matter for several weeks,
should be do so at all.

Admiral D. O. Farrapnt, America'
oreinost naval commander, reached the
turning point In his career at a very
rly age, according to a statement in
Turning Tolnts In Successful Ca
reers." It Is wel known that Farragut
ntered the navy when a little more
than 9 years old. During the next year
r two the boy got to be about as bad
boy as one of his ege could well be.
In after years, when he reached the
lenlth of rank and fame, he related to
friend this crisis In his career. Raid
the old Admiral:
When I was a little more than 10
rears old my father, Master Comtuan-
cr George Farragut, was sent In a
loop of war to New Orleans to watch
be suppmed movements of Aaron
Burr. I went with him aa a midship
man. I bad some qualities that I
thought made a man of me. I could
swear like a Caribbean pirate, coum
drink as stiff a glass of grog as the
toughest old salt and could smoke like
volcano. I was great at cards, and
was fond of gambling In every shape.
"At the close of dinner one day my
father turned everybody out of the

'David, what do you mean to be?"
'I mean to follow the sea,' I said.
'Follow the sea.1 exclaimed my fatb

"No, father," I replied, 'I will trend

do." ,
'No, David; no boy ever trod the
quarter deck with such principles as
you have and such haiilts a you ex
hibit You will have to change your
whole course of life If you ever be
come a man.'
Then, continued the Admiral, "ray
father left me aud went on deck,
was stunned and mortiflxd at the '
buke. I thought over aud repeated to
myself what be had said, and then 1 re
solved to change my life, ' From tliat

No. 4 now remained silent, and sug
