Washington, January 7..—An of
fici il telegram hps bopn received at
thi Turkish Legation in tins city
dated at Constantinople.
Certain newspapers
tainod lately that the number of
Armenians in Turkey reaches many
millions, and that they are badly
treated. Both assertions are abso-
Ju ely false.
•According to the most reliable
statistics the Armenians, living in
Turkey are a little over 900,000.
of whom 200,000 are established
in Constantinople itself.
Those of the Armenians wh<
reside in the provinces are distrjt*-
ut • 1 all over the country, so/tha'
nov here do they constitute tin
majority of the population. Th<
fact, acknowlsdged even by Tur
key’s de tractors, that the Ottoman
Aritieniißs havs I schools*-and a
literature, not only proves that
they, are.net exposed to *v xaticus
treatment, but that on the con
trary, the Turkish Government
favors their institutions, wishes
th tn to preserve their language
ai d nationality, and has secured
tl ■ ir well-being,

MISS YAW
Will Urdonbtedly Piay in Rome to
a big House
Rome enjoys the distinctions of
being a mnsie loving city, and to
this distinction is du« the coming
of Miss Yaw.
It was with grant difficulty that
Kfifle Yaw was induced to come to
Rome, she is only appearing in
the largwcities but she was assur-.
ed that Rome, 'would turn out a
large audience to hear her if she
would agree to come.
• A letter received frem the man
ager of Miss Yaw'■ Company,states
that she sang iu New Orleans three
nights last week and that the re
ceipts for sale of ticket the first
night, was $1058,09.
This indicates the extent of her
reputation in the cities where she
is known to lie the wonderful sing
er she undoubtedly isl.
•Did she appear i» Atlanta or
Chattanooga only, and not in
Rome, there would lie a large num
ber of Roman music lovers go to
hear her, but that expense is saved
to us, we can hear her in Rome and
at the usual price of admission.
When Romans once understand
that they may witness the appear
ance of a true artist they are al
ways sure to take advantage of the
opportunity.
Wo have the assurance that Mis
Yaw and her support, are not only
artjsts, but are superior to any
now before the public and being
tiius assured, we urge our people
to take advantage of the efforts of
the management of the opera
house in bringing to Rome such at
tractions as Miss Yaw and her
Company, and show thoir appro
ciatjpn by giving Miss Yaw a
croiyded house-
Should Patti come to Rome we
doubt if the Opera House could
hold the purchasers of tickets to
Ijear her, mj matter at what fabu
-1 jus.price the tickets were offered,
jS’ow.pomeM a siuger whosa voice
ti r. Skeptics will say that to claim
for her a voice surpassing Patti’s
voice is absorb, Does such a one
think that with Patti great won
derful voices will cease to be? Miss
Yaws claims one vouched for by
the best- known Muflicians, this is
her firflt yflar before the public
aud it is only a question of a short
time when she will be known the
world over as th* greatest singer
e rer heard
Don’t miss Vhifl chance of heav
ing, this wonder of the nineteenth
