March I-Tt v. said to the credit of the women who arranged the program for the national -council, that they have been very Just in allowing each and every organization equal rights and a fair tation. Jew and Gentile, Catholic and i-ruujstani anice nave been given a voice at those meetings. There have been no race, color or creed prejudices drawn. And of course' that is as it should be.

in a body of women which stands not only for the upliftinir and development of one-half but the whole vi Humanity. In all this work Mrs Rachael Post-' Avery has been the power behind the throne. And yet so quiet, and unobtrusive in her manners is she one would never guess that upon her shoulders rested so great a responsibility. Carlyle says that work is the best thing one can get in the. world, and it seems as if the more Mrs Avprv flnrla An.

happier she is. Young, rich and charming when she left school, the world presented to her the same temptation to drink of its cup of frivolities that has prevailed in drowning hsx.nw'tri. of countless hosts of brilliant women. But fortunately she had beea trained by a mother who understood that a definite purpose in life is the individual's salvation.

I could not but remark the interesting and varied types of women sitting side oy sioe on me ptatiorm at Metserott hall this morning, each appreciative of every good ana oeauuiui tnougnt tnat was presented. There was Miss Susan Anthony, whose manners and, methods time has very much softened, but as bright and alert as ever. Beside her In an easy rocKer sat a little colored worn- an with such a sweet voice Mrs Frances E.

W. Harper of Pennsylvania. There was Belva Lockwood, whom one has learned to associate with the mother hubbard. and next her Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross, which has done so much- to ameliorate the condi- tion of the sick and suffering not only in times of war, but in other disasters. Miss Barton expressed her kindly sympathy for the council ideas and announced with great satisfaction that -after six years of untiring effort on her part congress this day passed a law pro moting tne Kea uross rrom Demg maimed or misrepresented.

Beside Miss Barton sat the -stately Countess of Aberdeen, then Mrs Baerely of Michigan, a sweet-faced, motherly looking woman. Including Pres Sewell, who seems more wonderful every time one sees her, this is certainly a most remarkable group of to meet together In our oapi- -ta! i One of the most frequent reasons that is offered against a woman voting is that she cannot fight. And so this morning's session was devoted to the rtisriisminn. "la ThvRicl Force the Basis of Government?" Rev Ida C.

'Why, Elizabeth, suppose you were a voter and another war broke out, what would you dor 'Well, I suppose, Horace, I would do as you did, stay at home and urge everybody else to fight.

ana a Continued from the First Page. This wis seen by a woman In Toronto styling herself Mrs Edith Carmen, who wrote to Mrs Curado stating that 'the husband had been cutting quite a figure in-several Canadian cities, posing as single at first and marrying a charming girl of Toronto. The ceremony, she stated, was performed by the vicar of St Helen's parish. In this and subsequent letters there was mention of the Banker woman, with whom Curado lived and introduced everywhere as his niece. The letters also told of Curado's desertion of his Canadian bride after living with her a few weeks, and his flight to New Orleans in company withthe Banker woman.

Mrs Carmen explained that her interest in the case was because of a close friendship for the deserted wife in Toronto, though the tone of the letters betrayed a good deal of animus and personal curiosity. Another correspondent was Miss A. Glendenning of Harlem, who sized up CMrado as "one of the noblest of men" and expressed intense dislike for the Banker woman and great anxiety to learn if the report of his suicide were true. None of these letters have addresses. Mrs Curado is about 35 years old, good looking, and apparently well educated.

She has a daughter 17 years old, and the earnings of both support the- family in comfort. Their home is a model of neatness. RECOUNTS IN THED MIDDLESEX. Mr Ensign Denied One in Waltham, But Newton and Water-town Go Over Most of Tuesday's Ballots. Charles S.

Ensign was denied a re- count by the Waltham aldermen last evening. Mr Ensign's friends petitioned for a recount, and the petition was signed by 10 legal voters of the city. they being informed by City Clerk Hall that 10 names were enough to have on the document. When the board met last evening a written protest was received from James P. Niles through his counsel.

Gen E. Champlin. Dr Niles" protest was based upon the fact that there were not 10 legal voters from any one ward on the petition. The board referred the matter to City Solicitor Ludden lor an opinion A consultation was held bv the coun sel for both men and city solicitor, and after arguing for nearly an hour the solicitor gave his opinion that no recount could be held, as the petition did ot comply with the law. This opinion was submitted to the board, and Mr Ensign's friends went off.

The Newton aldermen last evening made a recount of the votes cast in the special senatorial election, the 2d Middlesex district, Tuesday. Only the votes polled in wards 1. 3. 4 and 5 were counted, an error in Mr Ensign's nom ination papers having been discovered in the other three wards, uniy one change was made, giving Niles one more vote in precinct 1, ward 4. The vote as corrected stands.

Ensign 1032, Niles 999. The Watertown selectmen made a recount, last evening, of the-votes cast in the town in the special election, Tuesday. No ballots were thrown out. and the vote was left as announced Tuesday Ensign 686, Niles 443. WILL NOT RECOGNIZE UNION.

Board of Conciliation Attempts to Make a Settlement with Chick Brothers, but the Firm Win Not Do It. HAVERHILL, March 1 The status of the strike was slightly changed, today by an attempt to make' a settlement With Chick Bros. A committee of the board of conciliation called at the fac tory, but was told that the firm would confer with its old employes individual ly, but under no consideration would the union or a committee from the board be recognized as such. Meetings of the old employes were neld later, wnen it was votea, witn three dissenting votes out of 250, not to return to work under such conditions. This probably will end all efforts for a settlement with the firms who have opened free factories, and the tight will go XOUK MOBJC STRIKES.

Dr King was recalled and testified that arsenical poisoning is sometimes accompanied by convulsions. John F. Robinson opened for the defense in a very eloquent appeal.

After laying particular stress upon the principle of criminal law -that legal presumption of innocence should be regarded by the jury as a matter of evidence to tne Denent 01 tne party accused, Mr Robinson took up the question of motive, -and said that no such crime as this was ever committed by a person without a well-established mo tive. He argued that Mrs Cowan could have had no motive. Her husband had very little property, and if he had, how could she reach it by poisoning his only child.

Says llis People nad Long Expected Trouble. Alleges the Porte Aims to Wipe Out Armenia. Declares Hope of Country Rests in Outside Interference. Khachadnov' Zovlgtan, a student' of the Euphrates college, Asia Minor, arrived in America yesterday. He is the first Armenian, to come to this country since the occurrence of the terriDie atrocities perpetrated recently upon his countrymen by the Turks.

His story-was given to' The Globe last night in the presence of a little band of Armenian patriots who had Invited The Globe man to listen to the traveler from the east as he told them how it- fared with their families and kinsmen. Mr Zovigian spoke in Armenian, but Mr Assan Hurand, Bedras- Keljlk, Koran Antrassian and Hoosig Melcone, all graduates of the Euphrates college aad residents of acted as interpreters. The story is as follows: "I left Harpoot on Nov 10. This Is 170 miles from Sasoon, and 700 from Constantinople. By that time the massacres were over and the news had reached our city, but the civilized world did not know of it until Nov 18.

"For some time we had expected that an outbreak would take place. There had been pillaging and murder going on for some time, and the feeling was general among us that something more terrible than anything that had yet taken place would befall vis. We had not for gotten that it was the prime minister of Turkey who said that the way to get rid of the Armenian question was to get rid of the Armenians. "It was in September when we were surprised to see the regular soldiers drawn up in streets of frlarpoot. There were 2000 of them beside the officers.

They had cannon and heavy arms. "We were anxious to know where the troops were going, and we were told that the Kurds had killed some of our countrymen at Sasoon-, and had ransacked the Armenian monastery. To avenge us and protect1 us the Turkish government was sending-these troopB." Mr Zovigian explained that' the Sasoon district was purely an Armenian district, 'and until conquered by the Turks was inhabited wholly by Armenians. The Turks made this place the center of the massacre for two reasons. A blow could be struck at Armenia more decisively there, and by reason of the people being poor and unable to pay the heavy taxes, an excuse could the better be given for beginning hostilities.

"A day or two after the troops left Harpoot," he continued, "news came that troops had also left Bitlis, Sevas, Erzenjan and other cities. We knew that the Turkish government did not call out a great army to put down a few Kurds, and then we feared the worst. "A few "weeks after the troops left Harnoot a Turkish officer called upon an Armenian merchant and told him that there had been a great massacre in Sasoon and that almost 15.000 Armenians had been slain. The merchant was stunned and refused to believe it, but was assured of the awful truth and was told to rejoice, 'for now Armenia was at an end of her troubles. Such a cry will go un to the civilized world that some power will deliver you and you will be iree.

"The officer did not conceal his horror and loathing at the awful news which he brought, and he is known to be a sincere and upright man. "The news of the massacre snrcart like wind among the people of Harpoot, but many refused to believe it until confirmed. It did not lack for confirmation long, as there came another from the plains, and told the same dreadful tale, but more horrible still. This last man Is a sort of expressman, who has many horses and caravans. He was pressed into the service of.

the Turks, and com pelled to carry their baggage. tie said the first troops to arrive at Sasoon were those from Bitlis. They were" commanded by Tahsin Pasha, governor general of Bitlis. The troops were commanded by the officers to change their uniforms, and dress in the garb of the Kurds, that they might be taken for Kurdish soldiers. "Soon after the arrival of the troops from Bitlis, those of other cities came.

Tahsin Pasha was assisted in the command of the troops by Zeki Pasha, the military governor of Erzenjan. The first town attacked was that of Sasoon the biggest in the Sasoon district the inhabitants fied to the mountains, and many escaped death. "When the Turks saw the people of the mountains were more than a match for them, they left them, and came down to the plain. Then took place the atrocities Which have already been reported. The butchery would not have ceased until all were, killed had not Providence at last interferred.

Cholera attacKed tne uurKisn soldiers, and so quickly did the plague spread that had to desist from their murderous task to cope with a foe almost as deadly as themselves." Mr Zovigian says that not one-fifth of the mail sent to the Armenians ever reaches them. The letters are opened by the authorities and frequently kept or destroyed. It is a common thing to receive an empty Tne contents were detained at Constantinople. He says business is at a standstill am oner the Armenian merchan ta. nnrl everybody Is waiting to see what the civiuzea powers win do to help them in their sore distress.

He says that more than 100 Armenians wno started ror Armenia rrom America, and many of whom are naturaiicori American citizens, are in Egypt being itiuiwu iu xneir own country. No passport is given to an Armenian to go to America under any circumstances. Mr Zovierian had cuity in reacning America. Me obtained, through influence with a high dignitary a passport to Constantinople. Then he had an audience with the patriarch, the ecclesiastical dignitary or the Armenians.

George Royal Pulsifer has been chosen by the directors general manager of the Massachusetts title insurance company, to succeed A. A. Rand, who resigned a f.days because he felt the board of directors was hostile to him. Mr Pulsifer is one of the most successful of the younger lawyers who practice in Boston. He Is the son of the late Royal Pulsifer, at one time proprietor of the Boston Herald.

The young man was graduated from Harvard college in 1888 and from the law school of the university soon afterward. He has had a great deal of business experience, is an excellent lawyer.

Heavy Sentences for Arson. NEW YORK, March 1-Judge Mar-tine in the court of general sessions today imposed sentence on Max H. Grauer, the insurance adjuster, and Mrs Ida both convicted of arson.

McLaughlin- or The Boston Maine railroad com- pany has won the hearts of Lynn peo-, pie by erecting the new station. Next to the union station, it is considered by both officers and patrons of the road as the best on the entire Boston Maine system. It is not one building alone which Is provided to replace the structure built in 1847 and made a ruin In the great fire of 18S9. but two, affording admirable accommodation on both sides of the line. In addition a vast amount of work has been done in preparing station grounds and approaches, involving the construction of a fortress of granite retaining, walls, great areas of granolithic platform and block, pavement, and a com plete change in the Central sq land' acape.

Monday next the business of the road will be transacted in the new station buildings. The transfer will be made Sunday, and the remaining part of the old station, which now obstructs the completion of the east side conveni ences, will be at once removed. A The appearance of the group of new structures gives the impression of per fect harmony of design, with something imposing in the big square tower, with its pyramidal cap, the long stretch Of platform awnings and the massive re- talning walls. When everything is completed a- cleaned up the beauties of architectural design employed will appear to greater advantage, and as it is now the station is sreatly admired. An ugly feature in the scene is the ponderous wooden bridge which carries Silsbee st over the tracks, but this is to give place later on to a wider bridge, of an appearance more, in harmony-with its surroundings.

Buff brick and brownstone are the materials of construction in the station. The masonry work is extended through to the finishing of the interiors and is of a high standard throughout. The brownstone trimmings are worked up into elaborate effects, and carving has been employed wherever- it would appear to advantage. All is solid construction. The Interiors are floored in marble, and the main waiting room has only the trusses of the the sheathed celling and the door and window fittings in wood.
