ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.

greeted by the surprise party, who
proceeded to make the evening lively.
They again surprised him when the

War Certain.

London, March War between
Greece and Turkey now appears TO be
q matter of but few hours. Greece
has expressed a determination to
ignore the demands of the powers and
20 begin active military operations
% the frontier at once.
The decision of Greece to defy the
powers is confirmed on all sides. 1t is
generally felt in England that the
dispatch signed by 200 liberal and
Irish national members of the house
of commons, which was sent last eve
mag TO the king of Greece expressing
sympathy with his efforts and the
EFFORTS Of the Greek nation and gov
9Fnment in behalf Of Crete, was a
great mistake and that it will only
miSlead the king and nation into the
belief that Great Britain will not join
the other powers in COercive measures.

ence scented the plagiarism in him,
and sat cold and unappreciative. Ills
lecture was delivered in a very salts
factory manner, but the substance
failed to take with the audience.
After the lecture Mr.. Miller in
quired closely of Secretary Humphrey
for the cause of the lack of applause.
He had tested his ingenuity to arouse
the spirit Of the audience and took
his failure rather at heart. Nj.
Humphreys told him that yelling
ton people had been gradually educa-
ted up until only the best orators and
most profound thinkers could enter
tain them. They had listened to the
charming eloqueuce of Mcintyre and
the sound logic of Con well and a score
of Others, until they had learned to
expect nothing but the very best as
an attraction of the lecture course
Mr.. Humphrey did not make it plain
to him that he was not a 1rst-claSs
attraction, bat Miller caught the
covert classification and during an
expression of regrets he unwittingly
paid some very handsome cOmpli-
mentS to the lecture course patrons.
He stated that if he had been lectur-
ing before Harvard, Yale or any Of
the eastern educational institutions
he would not have expected a warm
reception on that theme, but from
western audience, he always looked
for rOusing receptions. He was
rather bitter at times and thought
the audience wanted something to en-
terrain them rather than instruction.
Mr.. Humphrey assured him that
Wellington people generally managed
to digest the majority of thoughts
advanced by all frst-class lecturers,
and contended that the similarity of
his theme with other lectures deliv-
cred here was responsible for his fail
ure. Mr.. Miller then stated plainly
that lie enyied the man who could
draw applause from Wellington au.

A Missouri exchange gets off this:
"If there is anything that gives
US a longing for eternal restand damp
solitude, it is man who comes to a
town or country, builds up a good
paying business, grows rich from the
resources of prosperous country, and
then squats down on his wealth like a

TURKEY PREPARES FOR WAR.

London, March 5.-The rapid mob
llzlng Of the Turkish troops on the
Greek frontier confirms the belief
which prevails among military men
mere that Turkey is more ready for
war than Greece. Experts express the
opinion that the Turkish troops being
collected at Salonica could, unless the
powers of the Balkan states inter-
fered, reach Athens in a fortnight.
The Greek army is admitted to be far
below modern requirements. If the
creek army reserves are modified, it
is stated that they will be little bet
Ter than mobs armed with obsolete
rifles and lacking IN artillery.

COMMERCE FEELS ALARM.

London, March 5.-The wild and
sudden scare at the closing of the
stock exchange yesterday evening
continues today on the news from
Athens. ConSols for money fell
from 11lg to ITO 1915 and cOnsOls for
the account fell from Ill! to I'LL. In
addition there were lower prices in all
departments and substantial reduc-
tions, Foreign securities were greatly
depressed. The Berlin, Paris and
Vienna stock exchanges opened today
10 panicky condition.
Athens, March ga statement
made by King George in the course OF
30 interview today is probably fore
eaSt of the reply Greece will make to
the Identical notes of the powers, in
3iSting upon the withdrawal of the
Greek fleet and troops from Crete
within the six days from noon on
Monday last, the time the notes were
delivered. His ma. eSty said:
"The Greek nation is unable to bear
any longer The sGTain and excitement
caused by constant Cretan revolutions,
and our finances will not permit us to
support the refugees who now number
about 1900. Nothing will prosper in
Sreece until the question is definitely
settled. The autonomy of Crete is
out of the question, because the Cret-
ans reject it and have lost faith in
the promises of the powers. They
prefer TO die in their own defense
rather than be slaughtered like Ar
menianS.
1.-THE recall of the Greek troops
from Crete would mean the signal for
new maSSacreS on a large scale, owing
20 the fierce fanataciSm of the Mus
SulmanS, who see they have the sup
port of the six great powers, since the
latter covered the Turkish attack on
Christians and Shelled the victorious
CretanS who were fighting for free.
1Om and the cross, and at a moment
when the Turks were compelled to
retire.
Premier Delyannis, in an inter.
view, is reported to have reiterated
that the Greek troops would not be
withdrawn from Crete and to have
expressed the fear that national
clamOr would compel the government
TO invade Turkey.
Greece, he is reported as having
added, had not accepted 1.-THE scheme
for the autonomy of Crete which had
been proposed by the powers.
The premier asked that a plebescite
OF the Cretans be taken, and added
that Greece would prefer to disappear
from the map rather than withdraw
her forces from Crete in the face of
threats.

W. c. Brann, who has become prom
lnent through the medium of Brann's
lconoclast, published at Waco, Tex,
claims to have found the most beau
tiful woman in the world. He refuses
to give her name, but says she is the
daughter of widow living in Illinois.
He found her by instituting contest
by means of photographs, accompan-
led by statements as to color of eyes
and hair, bust and waist measure
ments, etc. Brann offered $500 in
cash some time ago for the rare pleas
ure of looking at the prettiest woman
in the world for only five minutes,
aid he has apparently decided upon
the Illinois maiden after an extensive
search. Here was an opportunity
that WellingtOn's young ladies have
allowed to slip by. The JOURNAL
will wager years subscription that
Brann's choice cannot hold a candle
to Wellington girls when it comes to
a point of personal beauty and refine
ment. Brann should declare his
search unendee and make an investi.
cation of Wellington femininity be-
fore he decides to give up his 500 to
al Illinois girl.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured.

the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con-

an infamed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachan tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumblng sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inflsm-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored TO its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an

he looked Questioningly at the girl.
