to greet the president and wife before
the gaXes were closed. By the time tho
populace began to pass through ail those
assisting had dropped out, and Mrs.
Cleveland bravely stood up alone, shak

Old and young, black and white, were
treated alike and some, afflicted with
"stage fright” after passing Mr. Cleve.
land, became aware of the presence of
the flrst lady of the land only by her
grasping the hand that had Just been
dropped by the president.
There were no Incidents of a sensational
character. The usual crank toiled to
put in an appearance. One old man was
present, however, who appeared to havo
a missive of some sort. He carried a
volumnlous document written In black
and red Ink, but If it was an “address”
he Intended to present, he was prevented
from so doing by the celerity with which
he wus moved through the room. One
patriotic youngster In his father's arms
removed his cap and shouted “hurrah
for Grover," while his father was shak
ing hands with Mrs. Cleveland. A man
asked by Mra Cleveland to sit down and
rest, which he did to the delight ot
himself, until the ceremony was over.
"Grandmother 1 Chapman, aged 85, was
invited behind the lines to rest.
An amusing incident occurred when t
doorkeeper attempted to prevent the pass
age of Secretary Lamont end, earlier In
the day, the entrance to the blue room of
Ool. Wilson, superintendent of public
buildings and grounds in all the glory of
his uniform, was barred by one of his
inferior officers who did not reoognlxo
him.

Boston, Jan. 1.—In consequence
a meeting of the Armenians of Bosto
held in Friendship hall last Saturda;
evening, tbs following cablegram wa
sent today:
“To Hon. Wllllatw B - Gladstone
London: Armenian* of Boaton thanl
you fog your sympathy and aid.”
The Armenians of this city feel thai
the diplomats of Europe wifi never
take an Interest in tho affairs of theli
countrymen unless it la shown that
every act in their favor is keenly ap
preciated, and they take this means
of expressing their sincere gratitude
for the stand taken by Mr. Gladstone
in bis speech last week.
Letter* have been received by wel
known parties in this city from reClablo
sources In Turkey giving still fqrthcr
testimony regarding tho outrages In
eastern Turkey. The following letters
oome frame, city not far from tho scene
ol the outrages. Tho writer is a man
In whom tile highest confidence may
be placed, who has spent more than
a third of a century in that region
und knows the country and peopiU
perfecrjty. This testimony 1s from a
source wnicn 1s entirely independent
of any which has been given before.
Eater account* increase, If possible,
the horrors of what has taken place.
The letter just received is as follows:
'The Armenians, oppressed by Kurds
and Turks, said tney could not pay
taxes to both Kurds and government.
Plundered and oppresbd by the Kurds,
Obey resisted them and there were
•one killed. Then false reports were
sent to Constantlnope that the Arme
nians were in arms in rebellion, and
the Mushtre at Erxlngan were ordered
to exterminate them root and branch.
The order was read before the army
called In boats from ell the chief
cities of eastern Turkey, and said who
ever spares man, woman or child is
disloyal.
“The region was surrounded by sol
diers of the army and 20,000 Kurds also
are sold to have been massed there.
Then they advanced upon the centre,
driving the people like «. flock of sheep,
and continued thus to advance for
days. No quarter was given, no mercy
shown. Men, women, children were
shot ddwn and butchered like sheep.
Probaibly when they were set upon In
thte way some tried to save their fives
and resisted In self-defense, white
those who could fled In all directions,
but the majority were slain. The mo it
probable estimate Is 15,000 killed, 25
vintages plundered, razed and burned.
IVoroen were outraged and then butch
ered. A-priest was taken to the roof
of this church, hacked to pieces and set
on fire. A Oarge number of women and
girls were collected In a* church, kept
for days, violated by the brutaf s ,|-
dters and then murdered, it Is said the
number was so largo that the blood
flowed out of the cnurch door. The
soldiers contended over a beautiful
girl. They wanted to preserve her, but
aha. too. was killed. .Every effort !«
bring made to falsify the facts nnd
pull the wool oyer G 1 * ‘Y?*,
penn governments. But the bloody
tale will flnaCCy be known, the meet
horrible, It seems to me. that the nine
teenth century has nown. As a con
firmation of the report, the other day
several hundred soldiers were return
ing from the seat of war. and one was
hetud to boast that he alone, with bis
own hand, had killed thirty pregnant
women. Some, who serin to have some
shame for their atrocities, say: 'What
could wc do; we wer* under orders.

Atlairto, Jlut. 1.—(Special.)—As a se
quel to hla career os a high roller, de
faulter and absconder, Mrs Maud All
good King today began proceedings for
total divorce from her husband, John
F. King, the story of whoso defalca
tion appeared In Sunday’s Telegraph,
but which wu suppressed In the local
newspapers toy the Influential friends
and relatives of King's wife.
King was local agent far tha East
Tennessee railroad for several years,
and was considered one of the bertt
men In the service ot the railroad com
pany. He had risen through a number
of years to his responsible position,
and possessed tbe complete confidence
of hie company.
In 1890 he married Ml<« Muud All
good of Trlon, a young lady of splendid
family and having considerable wealth
In her own right Th* marriage wu a
great social event in North Georgia, nnd
when the young couple took up their
reetdence In Atlanta, they kept up with
tbe best In llishlonable circle*.
It appears that his wife's fortune was
the rock upon which King was
wrecked. He voon began to go down on
the toboggan slide, associating with
the very fast set, and in her divorce
bill today Mrs. King says he never
contributed a dollar to the support of
the household.
It was not long before King lost his
»»t!on as agent of tho East Tennes
see, hts wife. It Is alleged, making good
a shortage in hla accounts there. Inter
when he wu employed u soliciting
agent Dor the East Tennessee, It Is
charged that he suooeeded in mulcting
tbe company again to tho tun* or sev
eral thousand dollar*. This hi* wife re
fused to pay up, and after refusing to
live with him longer he skipped out.
Mrs. King thro went to her mother's
home in Won, and had the Mil for
divorce prepared, which wu# filed to
day.
The bill is a recital of tbe facts as
they are given here, the wits alleging
thaft King has not ben sober for a
year; that he neglected and mistreated
her, and that hud she not paid Mm out
of Ids flnaoctaJ troubles be would havi
been ruined long ago.
As Mira Allgood Mr*. King Is known
all over the state. She neks to have her
maiden name restored, and for tha
oustody of her 2-yetr-old child.

THE NEW PENSION LAW,
Thle Appropriation Altogether Insuffi
cient for tbe Disntnda.
Atlsota, Jan. 1.—(Special )—The new
pension taw la a much bigger thing
than It was thought when it was
passed. After tbe ratification by the
people of the proposition to grant n
pension of >G0 per yi«r to all decrepit
and disabled Confederate veterans who
were made unable to earn a living by
any cause, the ltglslature appropriated
>30,000 to carry out th* provision* of tits
taw. It waa thought that this >30,000
would be suffiulent, but the paneton de
partment ha* already discovered that
that sum will not care for half the new
pensluner* entitled to be placed on the
rolls. If all who are on tilted to tho
SJlie’s aid under tire new law are
granted It It «riH take in the neighbor
hood of >76,000, according to tho pres
ent estimate of the department.
Of royrai. o«ay so many as the ap

The Failure of Atlanta's “Fair" Store

tbe failure of th* Whitehall tract dry
goods honsa, knows as the "Fair," which
was shut up by the sheriff a week ago,
upon the foreclosure of mortgages
amounting to 134.000, will prove
heavy loss to the unsecured cred

will be attempted. The aejeta of tbs

Notce of Interest to Both Citizens and
Strangers.
Olllledgeville, Oa.. Jan. 1.—(Special.)
—Tho old Capital CKy Is a pleasant
place, end three are a good many
nice people living here: but a stranger
arriving here after dark will need a 1:in
tern and a guide to find hla way—not
because Its ways are devious and wind
ing, but because It is minus street
lights. There is an alleged electrlo
tight plant here, but it Is run on th*
spasmodic principle. If it oould be
traded off tor Ha value In tallow cau
dles, Mlltcdgcvllle would be the SJlneu
in the deal.
But in Us schools Mlllcdgeville has
something that it can Justly toe proud
or. Tbe Georgia Normal and Industrial
Institute is a model school. It it an
Institution that oil Oorg.a Is proud or.
The Middle Georgia Agricultural and
Military 'College Is also an Institution
that toss earned for itself a reputation.
It is a worthy sucuesaor to the ntales
men who- In the old days gathered
under tho root ot itoe old rapltol. But
if MiUedgavlile had a chance to choose
between It and having tho seat of state
government located here, the school
would iuve to go. Til) removal of the
capita) to Atlanta was a blow that
MlUedgevllle will never forget- Aud
yet she Is poasesecd of resource* which
If utilised would be of more value in
her upbuilding than a dozen state capi
tals. Tbe water power of the Oconee
right at Iter door Is one of ttoo mast
valuable in the South. I was told that
efforts art being made to Interest capi
tal In utilizing It.
I met a couple ot intelligent young
formers while here, and In discussing
their experience tn 1S94, they assured
me that they did not propose to devota
themselves to ttoe growing of cotton, to
the exdusln of all other crop*. One
said he did not Intend to plant any, and
the other mid ho would raise hi* sup
plies. and What ootton be produced
would be n surplus crop. They assured
me that ttoelr view* expressed the sen
timents of h. majority of the f.umcrs
in their section. .
If the Georgia Railway Company
could toe Induced to build a new fifatlon
oil Milledtrcvllle would rise up and
bleat IL The present structure Is n
sorry affair, and an eyesore to tha
average cltlxen.
