Mosley, gave several interesting talks on his native land yesterday. A full country, but the people are kept poor, owing to extortionate taxes. Mr. Mosley sang "Horn, Sweet Home" in the Armenian language, and his lecture at the V. N. C. A. was thrilling to many. The thrilling interest in the Armenian language was evident. The Armenian language was also impressive. The speaker, Mr. Mosley, gave several interesting talks on the Armenian language, including the Armenian language, and the Armenian language.

The same is true of watermelons, which grow to a large size. The people sleep on the roofs or the houses, and leave the country for the city in the winter time, to prevent Turkish raids, and walls ten feet high surrounded the cities. Everybody must be inside the house before 10 o'clock, and the speaker said young people couldn't walk the streets at night, as in the United States. Armenians never taste pork, and Mr. Mooshy amusingly described the first time he saw a pig in this country. Women get fifteen cents a day for their work, but are compelled to work for five cents for the Turkish governors. A carpenter gets twenty-five cents a day, a mason thirty-five cents. The people don't make a good living, and get meat only seldom. Pears, apples, grapes, and other fruits are remarkably cheap. Chickens cost from three to five cents, a suit of clothes from 60, a good hat twenty-five cents. The clothing wears good, and Mr. Mooshy displayed several articles he had brought from his native land. The speaker said the world needed more to do business with God, and then there would be less cries of hard times. Economy was needed, also. "The houses in Armenia are made of burnt brick and mud. The people are generous and hospitable, and the Armenian will share his bread with the poor traveler. In winter little but feeding of stock is done. This season is one for marriages and joyful occasions. The Armenians are not Catholics, some of the differences being that Armenians have no Pope, and do not offer Up wine. They differ from Protestants in making fasts, which they do that poor people may be given the food they would otherwise have been deprived of. Mr. Mooshy spoke of his conversion by an American missionary, and related the happiness in his home on that occasion, his parents and brothers and sisters also being Christians. Around the family hearth they often sang "Home, Sweet Home," and Mr. Mooshy sang it in his own language. He affectionately told of the letter he received from his mother, telling him a few years ago that there was no home, sweet home. The Turks had razed it to the ground. The speaker said he had never met a girl until he was twenty-two years old, and he was as bashful as a kitten. It is the custom to marry young in Armenia, but he was introduced to his first girl by the superintendent of a Sunday school. He denounced the custom which allowed the sultan so many wives. It was the gospel which had made America such a grand country. Turkey was without Sunday schools. Y.M.Q.A.'s or similar organizations, and in the empire were found the priest, the sword, the mosque, and persecutions of the people. Mr. Mooshy related experiences of the Armenian massacres, detailing the frightful horrors that attended the slaughter of his relatives and friends in general, who had espoused Christianity. The tortures used were awful. Children were disemboweled, and their mothers murdered after them on the same spot. Forks were run through the victims' noses, burning brands applied to their feet. Girls as young as ten years of age were dishonored previous to their death. The Turks spared the Armenian Christians no shame, no dishonor, before putting them To death. After further remarks, on this line, Mr. Mooshy said he was going back to Armenia as a missionary this summer, and he asked for the prayers of his auditors for his success. He prayed that the time might come when persecutions to his fellow countrymen would cease, and for relief to them now from starvation. ABOUT PEOPLE. Striving in the City and Wheeling: People Abroad.

School exchange, a "damp," "upon the school work of the city by the flood." The new school, the school, and the school were dismissed on Friday, noon, by the main building at 5 p.m., and in the afternoon there was no school either Thursday or Friday.

The school during the past week has been divided into five classes during the past week than the enrollment has been. This is certainly a grand event and a great deal of education has been made by the officers and teachers of the school. It is certainly a sure sign that there was no mistake made by the board of regents in securing the services of the present efficient and efficient superintendent. This is an age of line and light, a creditable line, and it is apparent to all who that the West Virginia fore-front is the most important on the system.

Chauncey Olcott, the sweet singer and clever comedian, has made the hit of his life in his new play, "Sweet Inniscarra," which is announced for production at the Opera House tonight. He is credited by the press throughout the country with being the cleverest Irish comedian on the stage today. His fine, well-trained tenor voice was never in better trim than at present, and his singing is, as ever, one of the most delightful features of the performance. "Sweet Inniscarra" is a pretty title for a play, and Manager Pltou will produce it with the same cast and scenery used during the five months' run of the play in New York. Higertoll Tomorrow. Speaking of immortality not long ago, upon which subject he touches in his new and brilliant lecture, "Why, I Am an Agnostic," which will be given on Tuesday, at the Opera House, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll says: "They say to me, 'You take away immortality!' I do not. If we are immortal it is a fact in nature, and we are not indebted to priests for it, nor to Bibles for it, and it cannot be destroyed by unbelief. As long as we love we will hope to live, and when the one dies whom we love, we will say, 'Oh, that we could meet again!' and whether we do or not it will not be the work of theology. It will be a fact in nature. I would not for my life destroy one star of human hope, but I want it so that when a poor woman rocks the cradle and sings a lullaby, to the dimpled darling, she will not be compelled to believe that ninety-nine chances in a hundred she is raising a kindling wood for hell." "Joshua Simpkins" will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House the first half of this week. It is a well-written pastoral play, with an interesting plot, the story being a happy blending of sunshine and shadow. The situations are said to be strikingly realistic, with an overflow of fun and amusement. There are seven comedy parts in addition to that of Uncle Josh, which character is really a whole show in itself. A novelty is introduced in the third act in the shape of a realistic saw mill scene. In which a monster circular saw is used. "The Jail Bird," a drama in five acts, will be presented by the American Dramatic Club at the Arena Hall, tomorrow evening. This is an excellent drama with a vivid plot and well- diversified interest, and the cast of characters is as follows: Mathew Morgan, from New York state, who has come to the great city to seek his fortune... Mr. William Bertram, O'Connor, alias "Jenkins," alias "The Parson," Mr. A. Fritts, Davy Jones, a New York detective... Mr. Thomas Cox, Solomon Isaues, a Jewish crook... Mr. Charles Miller, Mr. Denham, a wealthy stockbroker... Mr. George McCaffrey, a Brooklyn broker... Mr. Hoss Bertrand, Jennie Foster, afterwards Matt's wife, Nellie Hannan, Mrs. Uhlleton, whose tongue never tires Miss Jennie Hod... "The Gazer." Donnelly, O'Grard will be the attraction at the Opera House next Saturday, matinee and night. They present to the amusement-seeking public for the first time the popular and successful spectacular opera, "The Gazer," the strongest, funniest, and most nightly matinee. In many days, they have added a new act to the original production and have had made new and special scenery together with most excellent electric effects and have surrounded themselves with a very strong company comprising forty people, together with very elaborate and costly costumes and should meet with that hearty welcome they so richly reserve. If there is the fun in the play that is pictured to us, we know Donnelly & Girard will develop it fully. "The White Slave." Bartley Campbell's remarkable drama, "The White Slave," will be seen at the Grand Opera House on Thursday, Friday and Saturday under the direction of Robert and John Campbell, sons of the author. The production is said to be one of the most elaborate from a scenic standpoint ever seen at popular prices. The company includes several players who appeared in the author's original company at the Fourteenth Street theatre, New York. THE unprecedented sale of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup provokes competition, but the people cling to Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. DIED.
