The International Postal Congress,
which meets at Washington in May,
will probably consider the adoption
of special stamp having uniform val
.ue in all the countries of the Postal
Union. Such a stamp could be used in
payment for small orders of goods.
It would so greatly facilitate interna-
tional exchanges that the argument
seems all in it's favor; but journal
devoted to COLLECTORS gives amusing
evidence of the extent to which "hob-
by may influence ones views on such
a question. "The stamp would be a
convenience in several ways" it is ad-
mitted, ''yet it is to be hoped that in
the interests of philately it may not be
adopted

respondent of the Telegraph says: II
had an interview to-day with M.
Ralli who told me that the report sent
by the ministers Of war and the in
terror from Pharsalos was in most re-

they had wired him that the front
line of the army was in battle array
and tie Turkish attack imminent All
preparations possible had been made
for heroic defense, and the spirit of the
army was better than before, owing to
the change in the supreme command.

BY direction of Congress and the
President the Secretary of the Navy
has placed a warship at the command
of the Christian Herald Bible House,

Ten thousand people are dying there
every day of starvation. It is likely
that their cries for bread will be lib
orally responded to by the farmers of
the west and south. Every community
should be able to send a carload of the
corn that is now going to waste for

posing to contribute should write to the

An association recently organized in
one of the suburbs of Dayton, O., has
an idea which might be proftably
adopted in many smaller towns. The
association, according to Garden and
Forest, has been formed for the pur-.
pose of beautifying the streets, the un-
improved property, and the public
grounds by proper planting, by pro-
noting general interest in gardening,
and by systematic efforts to abate nui-
sances and to control the location of
houses so far as possible. Lectures are
given, with views. to show how house
surroundings can be made attractive,
and the newspaper reports say that this
part of Dayton has shown marked i'm
provement in its appearance. Prizes
are offered by the association for the
best example of planting in individual
grounds, together with the condition Of
roadways, CUTTERS, curbs, sidewalks,
and general appearance of the houses.
Prizes are also offered to boys for the
best vegetable gardens, as well as prizes
open to boys and girls for the best kept
back yards, whether planted with flow
ers, shrubbery, climbers, or grass. Pho
tographs are to be taken of the exam
ined gardens, with particular sections
and decorations of the streets entered
in competition, and neat pamphlet
has been published containing views OF
the prize-winning grounds last year,
and also embodying good advice about
trees, shrubs, and climbers, with the
methods of planting and caring for
them.

q London, May a The Times prints
the following dispatch from its Volo
correspondent: When I arrived at
Volestino yesterday afternoon I had
just seen the Turkish infantry advanc-
ing in two columns, intending to cut
the railway. The Greeks, 1000 strong,
under Gen. Smo1enski, by whose side
l watched the encounter in the rear
of the Eighth regiment under Col.
Gannikosta, gradually advanced one
battalion to hold the railway, the 9TH
er to support the artillery. which had
mounted guns on the right center. The
Turks were evidently about 1900
strong. Their cavalry reconnoitered
the wood where the Greeks were con-
cealed, but the batteries remained
silent until g. and at that time the
tlre fell short Of being effective, though
the Greek practice was the best /
have noticed. The Turks ran away
from the shells, but continued to ad-
vance in good order. Our right was
really never engaged, and the railway
station was defended by only a small
force, with two Krupp guns. Toward
the end the large Turkish center was
seen to advance in the distance, but
sunset at 6:45 caused temporary ces-

Returning on horseback in the dark
ness to Volo, I was captured by the
Greek outposts, thanks to the failure
OF headquarters to issue regular
passes. L was treated with much civ
ility, but was detained until late
hour. Having met reinforcements on
the way to Velestino, went out again
to-day, when the Greeks brought up
nearly the whole Pharsalos force.
Save in the shape of struggles during
the night the Greeks have been sue
cessful, holding their ground. The
Turks mounted battery on hill fac
Ing the Greek left, approached the
end Of the wood and burned small
village. Nearly all the fighting to-day
has been on the extreme right in the
direction Of Lake Karla and the east
ern Volo road. Whoever gains this
road commands Volo and could cut off
retreat here. The trains are still run
to VelestinO, the officials displaying
great GOODNESS and courage In one
case a railway director is working a
locomotive. More decisive fighting is
expected tomorrow. AS yet the Greek
losses have not been heavy. The Red
Gross society, formerly much in evil
dence, is now conspicuous by its alb
