Result of the Conference Held by Foreign Diplomats at Constantinople. Constantinople, Oct. 4.—The result of the conference held by the foreign dip lomats here to consider the situation arising from the rioting on Monday and Tuesday was that the dragomans of the several embassies and legations were di rected to protest to the foreign minister against the excess of the police and equally against the barbarity of the Musselmen mob In regard to the arrested and wounded Armenians, several of whom were beaten to death with bludge ons, while others were cruelly mutilated. The dragomans were also directed to call the porte's serious attention to the whole affair and to beg the foreign min isters to Bee that measures were adopted to prevent foreigners from suffering and to restore order. The Hon. A. W. Terrell, the minister of the United States, made a special request that measures be adopted for the safety of the missionaries in the Koumkapou quarter. His representations had the de sired elTect. The city is quiet. It is evident that the governor has taken every precau tion to prevent any further disorder and to quell any rioting should it occur in spite of the measures adopted to pre vent it. Armenian refugees, fearing that they are marked for massacre, still crowd the churches, evidently hoping to find sanct uary there. The police have not carried out their threat to storm the Armenian patriarch ate if the refugees seeking safety there did not surrender. The Armenian college at Galata has been closed, owing to the threats of Moiiqpimedan theological stu dents to atfack It. A deputation of forty Armenians vis ited the British embassy in order to ap peal to Sir Phillip Currie, the British am bassador. Upon being Informed that he had gone to Therapia the deputation withdrew, expressing on Intention to visit him at that place. It Is learned from a reliable source that more than 1000 Armenians have been ar rested and cast into prison on the charge of having been actively concerned in the rioting or having instigated the trouble. Although there have been no further overt acts of disorder, there is a deep seated feeling of unrest and anxiety ev erywhere displayed. One significant fact Is that the Turks are purchasing revolv ers and cartridges. A denier in fire armti here says that he has refused to sell re volvers to at least fifty would-be pur chasers. During the rioting on Tuesday crowds of Mohammedans took advantage of the great excltemnt to loot many Armenian shops and offices. Their spoil is reported to have been quite valuable. The U. S. Gov’t Reports show Royal Baking Powder superior to all others. Sash and Door Factory Burned. Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-=The sash and door factory of Rufus R. Thomas, Nine teenth street and Washington avenue, was totally destroyed by tire today. The loss is $150,000. The flames spread to a row of dwelling houses on the rear of League street, and also Ignited a stable owned by Henry Coleman, causing an additional loss of $5000. The plant of the Continental Brewing company was also slightly damaged. Fire Marshal Thomp son made an investigation with a view of ascertaining the origin, and his efforts prove that the fire was of incendiary ori gin. William Edwards, the watchman at the factory, stated that he had made his rounds through the factory a few moments before a policeman had dis covered the flames, and that there was no sign of a fire. It Is thought that the flames were started by a discharged em ploye and for this man the police are now hunting. _ Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria General Mahone’a Condition.

LADY FALLS INTO A WELL Seventy-Five Feet Deep and Lives -New Gold Discoveries in Cleburne County. Anniston, Oct. 4.—(Special. Wohn Scott, a young white man employed in the machine shops of the Anniston Pipe and Foundry company as a machinist helper, came to a horrible end this morn ing. He had gone up a ladder to oil some overhead machinery, when a por tion of his clothing caught on a set screw of a rapidly revolving shaft. The un fortunate man immediately called to the men beneath him to have- the engine stopped, but it could not be done in time to save him. The shaft carried him with it in its rapid revolutions, whirled and wound him around and around, beat him violently against the heavy frame work and machinery near and where the engine was finally stopped that which a few seconds before was a healthy, buoy ant, hopeful young man was a lifeless, bloody, misshapen mass of flesh and bones. The jugular vein had seemingly been bursted or cut, and it also seemed as if every bone in his body had been broken. Mr. Scott was a new comer to Anniston, and had been In the employ of the Anniston Pipe and Foundry com pany only a short while. He had a wife and one child. Miss Hattie Reynolds of Choccolocco, this county, had a singular experience and a miraculous escape from death yes terday afternoon. She was drawing a bucket of water, when she accidentally let the handle of the windless slip from her hand, and it struck her on the elbow. So great was the pain and so sudden the shock that she sat down on the well curb and. fainting, fell backward Into the well, which was 75 feet deep. The cold water iL-tivw i iu aim mit* managed lu m*cp from d owning until assistance came an 1 she W-R drawn out, little worse for her fall and ducking. Mr. R. E. Merrill of Heflin informs the State Herald correspondent that dis coveries of new and rich veins of gold continue to be made In Cleburne county, Near Arbacoochee, on section 7, a shaft f was sunk Wednesday, about 100 feet southeast of the one containing the rich vein of gold discovered a few months since, to a depth of 42 feet. The same vein was struck, but the gold was found in much greater quantities. In fact, the rocks are said to be sticking to the gold Instead of the gold sticking to the rocks. Other rich veins have been found and more gold mining is being done now in the Cleburne fields than at any time be fore In fifty years. Messrs. Will Trapp and Frank Jeffers of this city, who are attending Oxford college, jumped off of a fast moving elec tric car in Oxford a day or two since, fell and were painfully bruised up. The friends here of Hon. Hillary A. Herbert, secretary of the navy, will en deavor to get him to deliver in Anniston an address on the financial question be fore he returns to Washington. The busines done by the Anniston post office for the month of September was greater than that done In any of the three years previous, and continues to show a gratifying Increase in volume. Miss Mary C. Whetstone has returned to her home in Birmingham, after a visit to relatives and friends here. Capt. and Mrs. S. F. Nunnelee of Selma, who have been spending the past two months In East Tennessee, passed through Anniston today en route home. GRAND OPENING pf Millinery Monday and Tuesday, October 7 and 8. MISS McCROSSIN, 1928 2d Avenue. 10-3-6t TISHOMINGO THE PLACE Selected by Dan Stuart for the Big Prise Fight. Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 4.—The doubts and confusion to the sports of the na tion that came with the decision of the last legisluature was no doubt of con fusion to Dan Stuart of Dallas, the ac tive agent of the Florida Athletic club. He foresaw possible trouble in Texas, and he has been negotiating with the civ ilized tribes of the Indian territory for a location at which to puli off the Cor bett-Fitzsimmons fight. Last night with B. F. Yoakum, general manager of the Santa Ee in Texas and to Purcell in the Indian territory, and other interested railway and club officials, be went to Tishomingo, the capital of the Chicka saw nation, to arrange for the big fight at Ardmore. Their hopes for succese are of the most flattering nature, and it is highly probable that the point will be selected. The Santa Fe, Its officials claim, handle all the spectators who may wish to witness the contest and will make all needful arrangements. The officials say the great trouble would be In sidetracking trains, but they could In a very few days lay ten miles or more of sidetrack at Ardmore, and this would hold all the cars that would be hauled in there. The Rock Island Katy officials are also earnestly at work to locate the battleground on their lines In the ter ritory. All the Interested officials and Florida Athletic club men will meet in Dallas in a day or so to settle the mat ter. A slimly attended mass meeting was held here tonight, ai which resolutions were passed commending Governor Cul berson for calling the special session and thanking the legislature for prohibit ing prize fighting in Texas. Similar meetings have been held at various other plaees In this part of Texas. A Good Time Ahead. New Orleans, Oct. 4.—The excursion of the Louisiana Press association will leave New Orleans on October 19 at 11 a. m. over the Louisville and Nashville rail road, arriving In Atlanta on the follow ing morning. They will remain five days in Atlanta, seeing the great exposition, thence they will go to Chattanooga and Chlckamauga park, where they will re main one day. They will go from there to Nashville and spend one day, having what is prom ised as a “grand old Tennessee time” by the officials of the Tennessee centennial. Returning, the excursion will reach New Orleans on the evening of the 27th or 28th of October. Will Nurse the Lepers. Evansville, Ind., Oct. 4.—Miss Mary Carr, operating nurse at Pt. Mary's Catholic hospital, this city, has decided to go to the Leper colony in Louisiana and nurse the unfortunates there. She is a woman of great experience In surgi cal and medical cases. Which Court Shall It Be P Chicago. Oct. 4.—Whether the tobacco trust case shall be tried in the state or federal courts was the question argued before Judge Showaiter today. Most of the time was spent in quoting authori ties* . . EPISCOPAL CONVENTION, GOVERNOR CULBERSON EULOGIZED The Foreign Mission Question Absorbed all the Time cf the Two Houses Sit ting Together. Minneapolis, Oct. 4.—When the de’e &rato3 to the house of deputies of the lOplscopal church reassembled in Geth semanr church this morning it was with the expectation of resuming: debate upon the new constituion. the pending qu stion at the hour of adjournment last evening being the enactment of the clans» putting in legal effect all legislation enacted by the house, and to which the bishops had failed to demur or omitted to concur within three days This proviso, which does not appear in the new constitution, is mainly intended to prevent the bishops pigeon-holing or indefinitely side traca ing matters emanating from the low’er house to which they might be opposed, but to which, from policy, they might not care to demur. Under the rulss gov erning the general convention, however, the third day of each triennial meeting is set apart for a Joint meeting of the bishops and deputies as board of mis sions. This fact most of the delegates had overlooked until the announcement was made that the bishops were ready to bo usheredd in. In the opening hour a number of resolutions and memorials of deceased members were read and re ferred. Following the action of the house of bishops on yesterday. Rev. Dr. Roberts of New Hampshire submitted a resolution thanking the governor and legislature of Texas for its prompt action in preventing the Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill. Objection to immediate consideration was made by Lay Delegates J. S. Biddle of Philadelphia and George R. Fairbanks of Florida, and under the rules it went on the calendar. This was not satisfac tory to a majority, and when ex-Oov ernor Prince of New Mexico moved that the resolution be taken from the calen dar for Immediate consideration, more than two-thirds voted in the affirmative. Roars of laughter were provoked by the earneset declaration of Delegate Biddle that he did not know what had been done by the Texas governor and legisla ture and had not the remotest idea of what was intended by the resolution Rev. Dr. Frank Page of Texas under i.uur iu t'liiiguicii nun uy untiiy uaiiauu^ how far the preliminaries for the mill had gone when Governor Culberson in terfered. He eulogized the young exec utive for preserving decency and good order in his commonwealth. Delegate Fairbanks again objected that It was an irrevelent subject for such a body to consider and opened the door to grave departures from established prece dent. It was explained by Dr. Roberts that the resolution was submitted in be half of the entire delegation from New Hampshire without consultation with the brethren from Texas, and on being put to a vote it was carried by an overwhelm ing majority. This matter disposed of the bishops were received and the two houses resolved themselves into the board of missions. Bishop Whipple pre sided, and in his opening address re viewed the progress of the mission move ment for half a century. As he resumed his seat he said with emphasis that the apostolic church had something greater to do than the passing of cannons, and this pointed rap at the one absorbing Idea of the revisionists created a momentary buzz, signifying either surprise or ap proval. The remainder of the morning session was occupied with mission mat ters. Money for missions was the all day theme of the two houses of the Episcopal convention sitting together as the gen eral board of sessions. Some of the nar rations were pathetic; others were plead ing, but the majority bfjstled with criti clsfh of the failure of the American church to adequately hold up te hands of Us representatives in other lands. The meetings drew an audience that over flowed the church, and the galleries were! crowded with women from all over the country identified with the woman’s na tional auxiliary. After the adoption of the resolutions commendatory of Governor Culberson and the Texas legislature, two vol uminous printed reports of foreign and domestic missions were presented in be half of the board of managers. It show ed that the gross receipts of the board for the year were, including the balance of last year and a personal loan of $65, 000 from George Bliss. $784,520 and the disbursements $716,278, leaving a balance of $68,551 on hand on September 1. The loan from Mr. Bliss had been returned. The report of the woman's auxiliary showed that it collected $167,642 for the fiscal year, of which $90,823 had been dis bursed without coming into the central The report was referred to committe s and then the missionary bishops were presented In regular order. Bishop Fer guson of Africa protested against the disposition of the people to put the lives Sacrificed and the money contributed in one side of the scale, the number of con verts in the other and then declare that the African work was but an experiment and unsatisfactory at that. The real question was whether the church had done its duty in regard to the foreign missions. Had it fully equipped the African bishops for that work? It had not. Bishop Graves of China was next pre sented. His diocese, he said, had a pop ulation of 60,000,000 souls, ministered to by one bishop and six laymen, while the church of England had six dioceses in the same territory. Bishop McKim of Japan said that in his diocese, with a population of 16,000, 000. there were three dioceses of the church of England and he had united with them in forming the Holy church of Christ in Japan. The work of the colored commissioner was presented by Bishop Nelson of Geor gia. He said that his diocese was 90 per cent missionary, and yet the total moneys received last year for the building up of the Jurisdiction only averaged 7% cents a head for the people reached. Bishop Brooke of Oklahoma spoke briefly for the Indians in New Mexico and Arizona. Reports on the mission fields of Mexico and Brazil were made by Bishop Mc Laren, Dr. Forester of Mexico City and others, the fact being mentioned that in Rio de Janeiro copies of the Holy Scrip tures cost from $15 to $20 each. In speaking of the work of the church missions in this country Bishop White of Indiana said that in his diocese, with a population of 3.000,000, only one out of every 500 was a church man. The order of the day was suspended at this point and In an eloquent address Bishop Dudley of Kentucky submitted this resolution: Resolved. That upon the first assem bling of the board of missions since the recent massacre of Armenian Christians this board would place on record its sense ofhorrorat the atrocities which have been perpetrated upon the Armenians and Its sympathy with all those who have Buf fered for the truth’s Rake, as well as its admiration for the courage and stead fastness which they have manifested in the midst of their unspeakable trials. It was adopted by a rising vote. Simi lar action was taken on a resolution sup porting the appeals which have been made to the Christian nations to exercise their full power for the protection of the Armenians and to secure redress for those who have suffered. Still another resolution submitted by Bishop Doane of Albany deploring the Chinese massacre and sending prayerful sympathy to those affected, and calling upon the United States government to IT JS A MISTAKE. It is a mistake to think that life is all a bed of roses. It is a mistake to go through life and neglect the laws of health and liie. It is a mistake at anytime to allow sickness or suffering of a serious na ture to come upon you. It is a mistake not to tike advan tage 01 the best discoveries of sci ence for preventing disease and banishing pain. It is a mistake if anyone has not learned that the best and most sci entific pieparation for accomplish ing teis is Warner’s Safe (Jure. It is a mistake that people who are properly inlormed an l warned do not take advantage of the warn ing and thus insure happiness and prolong ife. extend its strong arm o( protection over the citizens of this country, resident tn China, and secure them treaty rights, was unanimously adopted. When the hour for adjournment ar rived a number of bishops and laity made strong appeals that the session tomorrow be dispensed with in order that both houses might attend the morning mis sionary meeting at the Lyceum theater, at which Ex-Secretary of State Foster is to speak on the conditions In China. Dr. Morgan Dix, as chairman of the deputies, announced, however, that he proposed to call the body together at the regular hour and to proceed with the or der of the day. The bishops and deputies who have 'sen working with the local committee in the interest of the proposed meeting again appealed for an adjourn ment until Monday, but on a vote being taken they were in a decided minority. When the lower house Is called to order In the morning, a motion to adjourn to the Lyceum will again be made. The matter Is being generally discussed among the delegates tonight, and there is a strong sentiment that courtesy to the ex-secretary demands this action. The committee on new dioceses tonight agreed upon a report recommending the division of the See of California and the establishment of the diocese of Los An geles.

No races of Europe show such marked divergence of type as those of Hindostan. There Is always the caste mark, which Is painted every day on the forehead of each devout believer, and which may be a dab of red paint, a circle of ellipse, a slender crescent or a dot of gold. The foreheads of certain holy men are dec orated with white stripes. The mark of the Brahmin which ele vates him above all other castes Is a white thread passing over his right shoulder and which is as much a mark of distinction as the rosette of a Eu ropean order. The turban is another mark which dis tinguishes caste. Among the Mahrattas the turban is shaped like a double-ended canoe, with some resemblance to a cock ed hat adorned by a cockade. This is worn by the nobles. A certain order of Mussulmans near Bombay wear a curiously plaited white turban wound around a skull cap of delicate tint. The village barber and his wife hold a position above that of many castes, owing to their social prominence and the various offices they fill. Hindoos have many different ways of wearing their hair and keep the barber busy. The educated Hindoos laugh at the Idea that Americans and Europeans have no caste. They say we do and that money makes the divisions. Among these Hindoos one may find Journalists, poli ticians, advocates, attorneys and Judges. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
