The Starving Armenians

(race M. Kimball, M. D. a missionary in Van-Armenia, writes: "Iti quite safe to say that frotn Constantino pie to Persia, f rom theCaucasus to Mesopotamia, nine-te.nths of the Christian inhab. itants of every city and village are reduced to dependance on outside aid for daily bread." In view of the fact that the Turkish government will not allow the orphans, (who wander about like dogs, sleeping and eating where they can) to be removed, provisión must De made for them where they are. Places of refuge called "Orphanage Shelters" are being establislied, in charge of a body of experienced men and vvomen missionaries and British consuls, who will distribute the relief in the wisest possible vray. In response to an appeal from Francés E. Willard and Lady Henry Somerset, whose hearts are deeply stirred with sympathy for these sufferers, the Woman's Cnristian Temperance Union, of this city, is planning for a public meoticg to be held Sunday, January 17, at 3 P. M., in the Presbyterian church, at which time a collection will be taken for this object. Two or three cents daily will feed one person, and one dollar will go a long way ; so come with dimes if yau cannot give dollars; come with nickels, if you cannot give dimes. Among the speakers are Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, E. F. Mills, and, it is hoped, President Angelí.
