Modern War in Classic Lands.

There will be no modern Homer
perhaps to rehearse in sounding lines
the praises of the Greeks when the
braves meet the Turkish array
beneath the shadow OF famous Mt
Olympus, as they are likely soon to
do.
Nevertheless the story of the battle,
if battle there is to be, close by the
tabled home of the gods of ancient
Greece, ought to find many and
graphic narrators. A notable con.
tingent of newspaper correspondents
is at the front in Thessaly. The
least emotional man in the list can
not fail to be inspired to do his best
by the enthusiasm which animates
the forces of irregulars that have
beaten back the Turk, and now call
upon Macedonia and her sister
regions to rise for the cause OF free
dom and right.
Rudyard Kipling may yet be trans
ferred from Crete to the borderland
where so much OF the interest of the
civilized world is conferred. If so he
ought to find abundant material for
another and magnificent series OF
Tales from the Hills."- Boston
Globe.

Daniel Woolsey Voorhees,, ex
United States senator from Indiana,
died at m. last Saturday at his
home in Washington. He had been
in poor health Tor several years, and
tor two years past had taken little
part in the proceedings OF the senate.
In appearance, VOORHEES, was one OF
the most striking figures in the SEN
ate and was aff,ctionately called the
"Tall sycamore Of the Wabash" by
his devoted followers in the Hoosier
state. As an orator he had few
peers. He commanded magnificent
vocabulary, imbuIng his utterances
with degree OF earnestness and feel
ing that strangely influenced his
auditors.

tomb is to be, the streets are wide
and the sweep is clear. The back
