COnstantinOple herself may come
into the very center of the disturb
ance that now reigns in Crete. There
are nearly n quarter of a million of
Greeks in that city. and they will put
up a good fight should a general mas
sacre of the race be attempted by the
Turks, such as would be certain in
case of a general war. The Greeks in
the Turkish navy Outnumber the ma

might be a fight upon deck that would
be a literal carrying of the war into
Africa. Greece is the most resOlute

and that is not to yield Crete except

in return. The outcome of all that has
been attempted there only has served
to bring into diScredit all the efforts

of Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill, in speak
ink of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with Ia grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pena could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DIR. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. Or.

therefore che one whose capacity
should be enlarged. 1t is understood
that the subcommittee will recon-
mend its enlargement so as to pro-
vide accommodations for 500 more
patients. 400 of whom will be white
and the rest colOred. This recon-
mendatiOn should be adopted by the
whole committee and passed by the

that enlargement. The place of the
