BRIGANDAGE IN GREECE.
One Of the Depl rable Results of
 the Turkish War
Increase of Lawlessness on the Frontier-Rich Merchants Held for Ransom by
 Bandits.
rCopy right, 1ss7.1

One of the most lamentable conse- quenees of the disastrous appeal to arms recently made by Greece is the sudden outcropping of lawlessness and brigandage in the north, due to the unsettled condition there. It is re- ported from Athens that several rich merchants from Thessalan towns, who fled to the mountains to escape the Turks, are held for ransom by bandits. If they had stuck to their shops and trusted to the moderation of the Turks they would have been all right, but they could hardly escape being "rattled" when the entire province was stamped ed by panic fright.
 The increase of lawlessness is pre- cisely what might have been predicted by one knowing the habits of the peo- pie. Brigandage is in the blood along the frontier, and it has never been all together suppressed It is true that in Greece, as in Italy, there have been few recent attacks upon travellers. It was in 1870 that brigands made daring raid upon tourists about six miles from
 
 murdered an Italian and three English men because of somel difficulty about the ransom. Nothing of consequence has been attempted against travellers since. Tourists usually go in parties and armed. They are invariably accom- panied by horse-boys and generally by an armed dragoman, so that small band of road agents might hesitate about attacking them. A more power fu1 incentive to letting travellers alone, however, is the fact that raid upon foreigners always causes a sensation and leads to more strenuous attempts to break up the business. It is safer in Thessaly, as in Sicily, to prey upon natives, about whose misfortunes the outside world cares little.
 A consul of the United States once got into serious difficulty by reporting
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-07-18

Greece, which permitted it. These un- disciplined bands were made up of men of reckless character, who from the very first could not be restrained from taking to pillage, with warfare as a secondary consideration. Supplied with rifles and plenty of cartridges, many of them will not go home until their ann intuition is gone, and meanwhile things are pretty lively. The field correspond ents of the English newspapers were fired upon more than once during the short campaign by these gentry.
 Indeed, a more convincing lesson than Greece is receiving upon the wisdom of counting the cost could hardly be inn agined. Even if her authority in Thes- saly is fully upheld by the powers, it will be some time before she can wholly arrest the consequences of irregular warfare.

lures in the gallery in Athens. Odys. seus was brigand, who had been de. puted by Ali Pasha to put down the bandits; he did it by enrolling them under his own banner The late Capt. Trelawney-an English associate of By ron-who married Odysseus' daughter, described the bandits fortress in terms that might be used to-day in speaking of some of the mountain stfongholds to which rich merchants may have been taken.
 Tn one of the precipices of Mt. Par nassus," he says, there is a cavern, at an elevation of 1000 feet above the plain. This cavern Odysseus had, with great ingenuity, managed to ascend and convert into a place of safety for his family and effects during the war. The only access to it was by ladders bolted to the rock. The first ladder, 45 or 50 feet in length, was placed against the face of the rock and steadied by braces; a second, resting on a project ing crag, crossed the first; and a third, | lighter and shorter, stood on it's heel on natural shelf in the fractured stone. 1 This third ladder led to trap door, the bolts and bars of which being removed, you entered vaulted guardroom, pierced with lancet holes for musketry. This opened on a broad terrace, 80 feet in length, screened by a substantial parapet wall. breast high, with em- brasures mounted with cannon" With in were storerooms and magazines, and never-faiIing cold spring tricl1ling down from sources among the eternal snows.
 Doubtless none of the modern brig ands have quite such complete and commodious quarters as this redoubt- able freebooter, but they still rely upon withdrawal to inaccessible hooks of the mountains where they are supplied with food by .the tributary toilers of the plain. Modern cannon could batter down any of their defenses, but modern cannon can neither shoot around cor ners nor be taken up rough mountain sides without some trouble. It is easier to let the banditti alone or catch them by artifce.
 In the present lawless state of the oc- cupied province, young men in whose hands guns have been placed are join ing the bandits in considerable num- bers. There isn't much else that they can do. The practice of waging war by ''irregulars," too, is reacting against

 New Lining for Carpets.

". A. Maurain, manufactures of Providence, R. l., has invented new lining for carpets. Strips of paper a yard long are fed into novel kind of loom, automatically through tubular guide, which folds them lengthwise. A firm elastic weft of an inch thick is formed and securely bound by warp threads. Another machine gums and stitches on the paper selvage.

cases of Sicilian brigandage to our state department. The account was published in the consular reports, and the7e was trouble at once. The consul had to leave Sicily, but brigandage stayed. It is there yet, as it is and all ways has been in Thessaly.
 The proximity of Thessaly to the border is one reason why bandits have continued to thrive there, while in the Peloponnesus they have ceased opera tions entirely. It is so easy to slip across the frontier and return laden with booty from town on the other side, and perhaps prisoner or two, that both Turks and Greeks have con tinued the practice; and this is one req son for the bitterness displayed by the Turkish Albanians against their blood brethren the Greek Albanians in the recent war.
 Medieval ways of looking at things still prevail in Greece. Men often carry guns when they go abroad, in the wilder parts. The courier with whom 1 travelled in Greece last February car IlNO d SlCill AlIlIC asked him why he did not use a re- volver instead, but he said he was afraid to handle one, though he had served his time in the army. Towns are placed for defense against attack, not for convenience, exactly as they were 2,000 years ago. One of the largest villages in southern Greece is Dhivri, which lies away up among the snowy hills, so hidden from the main road through the valley that dur ing the war of liberation two or three thousand Greeks hid there and were never found by the enemy. Convents are like forts. I stopped one night at the great convent of the Megaspelaeon, which is perched 1,200 feet above the valley, built into cave in the face of a sheer cliff. This strong point was never captured by the Turks in 1824-27. The monks tucked their long gowns in- to their boots, and with consecrated cannon sent, Ibrahim Pasha's troops flying down the valley. The monastery of Meteora, in Thessaly, is holding out now in similar fashion against the Turkish invasion of 1897, rolling rocks down on them il the good old-fashioned way. Prior Kallistratos Papageorgios of the Megaspelaeon told me, while he showed the firmans of many a dead and gone sultan, that the monks were really better off under Turkish rule; but blood is thicker than water.
 It is just as easy for party of brig ands to find a cave and fortify It as for a body of monks. The war of liLb- eration was fought in large P by ex- ! tbrri;ssasiisa.sss brr i;5s,sasiisa.sss, who by snccess< na- tional heroes and now Nc-

The Westminster Gazette says that an epitaph as curious in its way as any of the quaint and ingenious gravestone inscriptions recorded of late occurs on a tombstone in the cemetery of sub urb of Paris. The husband died first, and beneath the record of his name was placed at his request the line: "I am anxiously awaiting you, July 30, 1927. 7 When his widow died, 40 years after, the following line completed her in- scription: Here I am.

TENNEssEE's NEW SENATOR.
Thomas b. Turley of Memphis Ac-
cepts the Appointments.

johnson City, Tenn, July 19.-Gov. Tay-
lor this evening made the official an
nouncement that he had appointed Hon.
Thomas B. Turley of Memphis United
States senator to succeed the late I. C.
Harris.
The senatorial contest has been a sharp
and warm one. The governor has expe-
rienced considerable difficulty in making
the selection, owing to the fact that the
candidates In the main were his friends.
The governor wired his choice to Mr..
Turley, and received a polite telegram
of acceptance
Thomas B. Turley was born in Memphis,
Tenn, April 5, 1S45. His father was the
late Thomas j. Turley. His mother was
Mrs. Flora c. Turley, a daughter of
William Jattle, one of the earliest set
tiers about Memphis She died a few
years ago. The members of Mr.. Tur-
leys fathers family were Virginians and
his mothers North Carolinians. He at
tended various schools of Memphis till
the breaking out of the late civil war. He
enlisted in the first year of the war in the
Maynard Rifles, Company L, One Hun
dred and Fifty-fourth Tennessee regiment.
He was wounded twice, once at Shiloh and
again at Peach Tree creek in front of At
lanta. He was captured in the battle of
Nashville, and taken to Camp Chase, o.,
where he was held until March, 1865, when
he was exchanged and returned south.
After the war Mr.. TuTley passed two
years al the University of Virginia, where
he was a law student Since 1869 or 1870,
he has been practicng' law in this city.
At present he is a member of the firm of
Turley & Wright. He has never held Of
flee OF any kind.
He was married in 1870 to Miss Irene
Rayner, daughter of the late Eli Rayner
of Shelby county. Five children have been
born to himself and wife, all of whom are
living.
When questioned as to his position on
the tariff bill now before congress- SEN
ator Turley tonight said that he had not
studied the bill technically, but that upon
the question of the tariff he is as near a
free trader as it is possible to be.
Referring to the differences of opinion
which have developed among democrats
in the discussion of the present bill, he
said that he is strictly in accord with
democratic declarations through a long
series of years, and is in favor of a tariff
for revenue only. The senator preferred
not to express an opinion regarding Cuba,
believing the question would not again
demand the attention of the present extra
session of congress.
On the financial question Mr.. Turley IS
strictly in line with the recent Chicago
platform.
The new senator will leave for Washing
ton at the earliest possible moment prob
ably tomorrow night

TILLMAN,s DIsPENsARY BILL.
Efforts on Foot to Get 1t Before the
Lower House.

Washington, July Ex-senator TiHman
and his friends In the South Carolina dele
CATION are perslsting in their efforts to
get the dispensary bill considered In the
House. Representatives Latimer, Talbert
and Elliott appeared before Speaker Reed
this morning to consider the question of
getting special order for the committee
on rules to allow the bill to come up in
the House. Representatives Latimer and
Taqbert favored the rule and Representa-
tive Elliott opposed it. 1t was impossible
to get a quorum of the committee on rules
together, so the hearing was postponed
until tomorrow. Senator Tillman came
over from the Senate and the other mem
bers of the South Carolina delegation were
prepared to attend the meeting and sup
port the bill
Representative Latimer says he does not
see what objection can be raised against
the bill, as it simply provides that the
state of South Carolina shall control its
own liquor laws in accordance with the
wishes of a majority of the people. He
says he would not vote to enforce the dis
pensary law unless 1t meets the approval
of the people of the state. He has no in
terest in that law, except that 1t was
placed upon the statute books by the leg
islature and as long as it remains there
it ought to be enforced. If it should be
repealed tomorrow he would not care.
The pending bill simply authorizes the
state to control the liquor business with

SAN ANTONIO's PRIZE DRILL.
The Morton Cadets of Washington
the FavOritcs in the Betting.

The Morton Cadets of Washington
the FavOFitcs in the Betting.
San Antonio, Tex, July 19.-The weather
was good and the attendance large at the
interstate drill to-day.
The championship contest was opened
by the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, who
drilled this afternoon. They put up
fine drill though the impression is that
they stand but little chance of winning
first prize. The company step was trife
slow, and the file closes were a little
careless. Early in the drill Capt Foy
and the judges held a consultation over
the programme while the company wait
ed. There is much speculation as to the
cause, and a rumor is current that the
captain misinterpreted the programme.
After the Thurston drill the Morton Ca
dets were made the favorites in the bet
ting at 8 to 2.
The Dallas Zouaves followed the Thurs
tons on the field and put up a splendid
drill, though the Neeley Zouaves are still
favorites
The judges to-day decided to hand the
programme to the captain five minutes be-
fore the company's drill, and will not al
low officers or privates OF competing COM
panies to witness the drill of the rival
companies.
