TURKEY PAYS INDFMWTY. Principally Based Upon Losses Sustained by American Missionary and Edo cational lostitotlons. By Telegraph to the Monung star. Washington, July lO.The State pep.n i-:at ;s rt-ceivfd the ariuurit 0f the American indemnity claim 8eainst Turkey, $95,000, " through the American legation at Constantinople. As is always the case, the claims in : foe aggregate considerably exceed the amount of the indemnity actually paid but our government has expressed it self satisfied with the payment It assumes full responsibility for the dis tribution, the Turkish government leaving it to the State Department to distribute the money among the claimants at its discretion . and after its own fashion. ' Taese claims are principally based upon losses sustained by American missionary and educational institutions in Turkey, notably those at Harpoot and Ilarash, btu there are a number of individual claims, such for instance a; that of the family of the unfortu nate bicyclist Lenz, the Pittsburg man ffhowas killed by Turkish soldiers while attempting to go around the globe on his wheel. The State Department officials feel tbe greatest satisfaction at the settle ment of these claims. Secretary Hay bad been told by diplomats skilled in oriental diplomacy, and in political conditions of Southern Europe, that he never would be able to collect them. Not only was there extreme difficulty in bringing any pressure to ievc becausefof the remoteness of Tur key, but we had to contend with the jealousy of the great European pow ers, most of whom had claims against Turkey vastly larger in amount than ours, and whose total was beyond the ability of the Turkish government to meet. For more than a decade the American claims have been pending. A HEAD-END COLLISION.

Tariff Reform Demanded and Enactment of Measures to Prevent monopolies. Suppression of Trusts Main tenanceof Monroe Doctrine. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Columbus, O., July 10. The Demo cratic State Convention here to-day, nominated the following ticket: ' Governor, James Kilbourne; Lieu tenant Governor, Anthony Howells; Judge of- 8upreme. Court, Joseph Hidy ; Clerk of Supreme Court, Harry Young; Attorney General, M. B. Mo Carthy; Treasurer of State, B. P. AW shire; Member of Board of Public Works, James B. Holman. The convention had more promi nent men as delegates than any con vention of Democrats of Ohio in many years. The nomination of Colonel Kilbourne was appropriately called one or spontaneous combustion. Howells, Hidy, As hi re and Holman were favorites from the start. Young was sprung as a surprise and nomi nated overvSmoots, who had been such a favorite that others would not previously enter the race for clerk of the Supreme Court. None of the delegates, outside of Cleveland, knew Young and he was named because Cuyahoga wanted him. Cuyahoga could get any thing it .wanted, except the head of the State ticket, after the Johnson amendments were engrafted into the McLean platform and that document as amended was adopted wiiu mucn unanimity. It was currently reported that John son desired the nomination of Monett as attorney general, and that the Mo Lean men wanted Monett defeated. The defeat of Monett was so decisive as to be a feature of the convention. Monett, as attorney general, had brought suits against the Standard Oil Company and other corporations to cancel their charters under the anti trust law. He had sought a third term nomination from the Republi cans on the issue that he should be res tained in that office to Continue these prosecutions. After his defeat for the third nomination in 1899 be supported Bryan in 1900 on the anti trust issue and canvassed Ohio and .other States with Bryan. " The most striking turn of the con vention was on Bryan. Bitter things were said of his leadership in the com mittee on resolutions, where it was in sisted his name should not be men tioned and that there should be no reference to either of the national platforms on which he made his cam paigns. After this plan had been agreed upon, one of the twenty one members of that committee offered a minority report, reaffirming the Kan sas City platform and expressing con fidence in Bryan. He received only' six votes from the 950 delegates on the substitute for the preamble. A few moments after the platform was adopted, one of these six dele gates called attention to the' fact that pictures of other Democrats were dis played in the hall and none of Bryan, as heretofore. He started to carry a small banner with Bryan's picture on it to the platform. The aisles were ordered cleared, but the picture didn't reach its destination. It was trampled under foot and spoiled during tbe wild demonstration when Kilbourne was escorted into the hall. It is generally believed, however, that the marching clubs did not know they were walking over Bryan's picture.- The platform caused much comment to night over what it does not say, as well as over what it does say. Unusual interest is being taken in the selection of the members of the State executive committee by tbe State central committee, since the conven tion concluded its work. The State central committee to-day adjourned until July 20 tb, without selecting its chairman or secretary. It is said none of the candidates for either of these places can secure a majority of the 21 votes and that Colonel Kilbourne will be compelled to co operate with either the McLean men or the Johnson men, who are not talking friendly of each other, to control the executive com mittee. In this connection there are all sorts of rumors about the senator ship for which the convention en dorses no one as the Democratic can didate to succeed Senator Poraker. The names of John R McLean and of Tom L. Johnson are most prominent ly mentioned in this connection. Points in the Platform. The report submitted by the Com mittee on Resolutions contained nearly two thousand words. The Republican administration and the Republican majority of the Gen eral Assembly are denounced. Tariff reform is demanded on the ground that the production of the country far exceeds its power of consumption. The enactment, and rigorous enforcement of measures to prevent monopolies and combinations in restraint of trade and commerce, is demanded, as is also the suppression of all trusts and a return to "industrial freedom." As a means to that end the platform declares that all trust products should be placed on the free list and the. government should exercise a more rigid supervi sionof transportation. Restoration of the merchant marine is favored, with out subsidies, however. On the subject of "imperialism and expansion," the platform says: "Powers granted the Federal gov ernment were not meant to be used to conquer or hold in subjection the people of other countries. The Democratic party opposes any exten sion of tbo national boundaries not meant to carry speedily to all inhabi tants full equal rights with ourselves. If these are unfitted by location, race, or character, to be formed into self governing territories and then incor porated into the Union of States, they should be permitted to work out their own destiny." Maintenance of the Monroe doctrine is demanded; a navy adequate to the protection of American citizens and nmnnytv the 'world over: election of .Senators by direct vote; and the right of labor to combine ror me assertion of its rights and the protection of its interests, It is declared that the bur dens of the unjust and discriminating laws, for which the Republican party is responsible, fall chiefly on those who till the soil or labor at other forms of production. The Democratic party pledges its efforts to relieve them of the burdens which class legis lation has laid upon them. On the subject of "Republican responsi bility" it is declared tbe "Republican party always has upheld class inter ests and cannot be trusted to deal with the evils of its own creation." On "boss rule, etc," the party pledges itself to "rescue our govern ment from the grasp of selfishness and corruption, and restore it to its former fairness, purity and simplicity." "Widespread corruption," the ar ticle declares, "now threatens our free institutions and menaces the destruc tion of public virtue."

One Hundred and Two Degrees in the Shade A Hot Scorching Wind Re lief Came at Nlfht. ' By Telegraph to tbe Morning star. Chicago, July 10. Not since the establishment of the Weather Bureau has this city experienced such terri fic, beat as affected it to day. One hundred and two in the shade in the office of the Weather Bureau was the high record, the highest previous mark being July 16th, 1887, when it reached 99.8. One hundred and two in the shade was, however, the easiest part of the day. The wind blew with force from the west and southwest and a hotter, more stifling air, was never felt in this city before. So hot did it become during the afternoon as the wind drove the hot air into windows and doorways that all through the business section of the city tenants of offices slammed down their windows to keep out the air. At the theatres where matinees were in pro gress, men were stationed at the front doors to keep,. them closed as much as possible. The air was so dry, how ever, that its effects were not as disas trous as would have been the case had greater humidity prevailed. To night the wind changed to the northeast and the mercury went down 20 degrees within an hour. Eight prostrations were reported. No deaths. VIOLIN AND SONG.

But buy it I did and carried it home, where I bragged of my bargain all the rest of the day. It wouldn't run more than half the time, and finally . I turned it over to my little sister to play with.

"From the way the young man Jump ed you would have' thought that he was a part of the alarm and always acted that way when the alarm was sprung.

EFFECTIVE REPROOFS. Payson Tucker Mad a Quick Eye and Pointed Methods. Two incidents in the railroad life of Payson Tucker are told that well il lustrate what a worker he was and his attention to the details of business. Several years ago he was up on the mountain division of the Maine Cen tral road and looked over the grounds of one of the stations. Nothing more than the usual conversation passed, and he returned to his car and went back to Portland. Nearly a year pass ed before he had occasion to call at the station again, and then he stepped eff the ear and asked pleasantly: "Do you have all the help you want here?" "Yes, sir; all that we need." "Quite sure you have enough?" "Yes, sir: There is not much to be done at so small a station." "Well, I feared you were rushed to death and could not find time to re move that pile of old bricks I saw toe last time I was here." With that the general manager of the road stooped over the pile of bricks and, without removing his kid gloves, cont&nd the work until the last one was neavly piled up. .A,t -another time a break had been comae it ted at one of the stations on the back road, and the next day after the notice of the break had been wired to Portland Mr. Tucker chanced to pass that way. After looking things over, Mr. Tucker asked what had been lost, and the agent quickly ran over the amount of money and tickets stolen. "That all?" asked Mr. Tucker, when the agent had concluded. "Yes, -sir; nothing else." , , "That so?" said Mr. Tucker, taking in the untidy appearance of the room and station at a glance. "I feared some one had stolen your broom. Terhap:? you have not missed it. .1 will send you one." Presque Isle (Me.) Star Herald. THE SOLDIER'S PAROLE. What In Meant by It and How It Ia Arranged. - Parole, it must be understood, is a purely voluntary compact. The captor is not obliged to offer to parole his prisoner, and the prisoner is not oblig ed and cannot be compelled to give his parole. If he does so, he will probably be re leased on pledging his word not to nerve during the existing war. If he refuses, he will remain captive until the war Is over or until he can make his escape. The usual parole pledge extends only to active service against the enemy. A prisoner released on parole is not breaking his contract if he drills, re cruits, queHs civil commotions or fights other enemies. A soldier taken prisoner has no au thority to pledge himself never to serve against a particular enemy. He can not throw off thus lightly the duty he owes his sovereign or country, and if he makes any pledge it must be con fined to a limited time. Moreover, If a prisoner should make a pledge not approved by his own gov ernment he is bound to return and sur render himself to the enemy. ' In the British army a soldier can only give his parole through a com missioned officer. Even a noncommis sioned officer or an officer of inferior rank cannot give parole either for him self or for his men without permission from his commanding officer. The United states authorities, by the way, give greater liberty of parole than is the case with the British army. A captured prisoner who has violated his parole may be punished with death.

"Every L..-;r?ss : an of ;t .n.imon sense knowm, v.betfc: r he c'.-. i;..--:-s- to '. acknov. L dgo it or net. that the f. Uer away he giL; ia the i-ieniii0' from Lis commercial associations during the day; so that his business associates or thoughts cf Jt or thorn cannot get at him, the healthier he is, tbe wiser life he leads in short, the better off he is in every respect and the abler for the duties of tli? morrow," writes Edward Bok in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Now, what does he get in the c.ty In the evening, even if he lives a care fully rogulatrd life? There Is no mode of life he can possibly follow which is In any way recuperative to his mental or physical being. He has never been out of hearing of the noises of the city or out of tbe range of Its lights. Every night he has slept in the polluted air of tbe city and in the morning has looked out on the gray sidewalks which he sees all day long. What does such a man know of the exhilarating, refresh ing and blood quickening experience of opening the shutters of his chamber window upon a landscape of space and sunshine? And, what is far worse, what do his wife and children know of such a blessing? "Yet he deludes himself into the be lief that he must live in the city, so as to be 'in touch with things.' If you ask him what those 'things' are, you invariably discover that they are of a business nature, either strictly busi ness or some social convention which he feels has a bearing on his business. But it is always business, business! low, a man lining undei' this pressure rarely does his best work, altliough he" fully believes that he is doing it But he cannot be giving out, the best, be cause he-does not allow the best to get within him." Glorloua News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes: "Four bot tles of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which bad caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her bead and face, and the best doctors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent." This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is the best blood puri fier known. It's the supreme remedy for 'eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion, builds up the strength. Only SO cents. Sold by B. B. Bellamy, druggist.
