MRS. STORER'S GLAZE.
Wife of the Ambassador Discovers
New Effects in Copper.

Cincinnati, April 3O.-NIrs. Bellamy
StOrer has again achieved something
new in the world of art. For five years
Mrs. Storer has been experimenting at
her home here and in Washington with
new glazes for pottery.
Last year she showed in the art mu-
scum a case of marvelOuSly beautiful
effects, leaning largely toward silver,
which was their chief component. She
also sent some strong, vivid effects of
color to the Paris Salon.
During the past year Mrs. Storer has
been working in copper, and the Won
derful new glaze is the result Of her la
Dor.
In producing the final result she has
done experiments that no commercial
firm could undertake because of their
enormously, have been used in her ex-
periments, but copper finally achieved
the desired result.
It is purely original and entirely Mrs.
StOrer's own invention, and bears no
resemblance to the famous lockwood
pottery.
Mrs. Storer has a gas kiln at her
home here and has another in Wash
ingtOn, and works necessarily at her
experiments. Her love for pottery
amounts to a passion with her, and she
may be said to almost devote her life
to its Development To produce new
glazes is now the thought of every ar
fist interested in pottery, and this lat
est achievement of Mrs. StOrer's will
doubtless add to her fame.
The new glaze is a dull effect of color
somewhat leaning to the iridescent, with
CuriOuSiy notified effects. There are
beautiful spots of color, and it has a
texture almost like fur. This latter
quality is a most remarkable one and
makes one marvel as he strokes it. Mrs.
Storer has taken common chemical
things of beauty. They glow and
change like the sky.

Athens, April 3O.-The Greeks have

London, April 3O.-The Athens CORES

The Turkish army or its advance

A dispatch from the Times from Nolo,

THE Turks tried to cut the railway
to VelistinO. The Greeks fought brave
ly, losing three officers killed and many
wounded but were finally repulsed.
'Panics continue here without secca-

there is no military and apparently no
civil authority. The telegraph office

REV. MIR. BIBB ON WHISKY.
Missouri Preacher Says if Whisky

Mexico, Mo, April 3O.-The saloons,
four in number, of the city asked the
council to reduce their license, which is
81, 800 each a year, but the council has
refused to grant the request. The sa-
loon men claim that business is so very
dull that they can't make it pay if the
license remains where it is, and of
course they think the town can't get
along without them.

While he contends strenuously for So

tory conditions of the liquor traffic, and
that a dispensation of free liquor would
be far preferable, morally, socially and
politically. He would have liquor ia
ken out of the hands of saloon keepers
and put into the hands of the people,
making the individual man responsible
for his conduct.
It would kill the traffic by destroying
the profits of the business, claiming
that no man could afford to handle

Missoula, Dec Mike Gilroy, sup
posed to be from Butte, is lying at the
hospital here terribly cut and bruised
but not liable to die unless some com
plication sets in. Gilroy may thank his
guardian angel that he is not in the
morgue instead of the hospital, as he
had an experience this afternoon that
ought. according to all proba abilities, 10

He was a passenger on the westbound
train and had in his pocket u ticket
from Butte To Missoua. He told one
of his fellow passengers. ii is said. that
he was going to Stevensville to settle
his taxes. but no one in Stevensyille
knows him and he is not able to tell
anything about himself tonight. He
was sociable, the passengers in the
smoking car say, and near Bearmouth
he asked man near him for a drink.
The man handed him a flask containing
half pint of whiskey and told him to
keep it all The proposition was ac-
cepted and Gilfoy kept ii. He put ii at
once where no one could take it away
from him. He drank it at a single
drink and smiled as if it was water.
He soon felt the effects of 1t and be-
came boisterous. Once when Conductor

to seat. Glfoy sat still for a while,
but, three miles the other side of Bon
ner, tried to leave the ear again. The
newsboy grappled with him and tried
to force him To sit down, but Gilfoy
was too strong for him and, just as the
passengers were starting to take
hand in the fight, Gilfoy broke away
and got to the door.
He jumped out and apparently start
ed to cross the platform to the next car.
His left hand grasped the handrail, and
he swung around on one foot till he
lost his balance and fell to the ground
He struck on his side and turned over
two or three times and then flew into
the air, landing about 100 feet from
where he struck first. The train was
stopped at once and backed to where
the man lay. The conductor and some
of the passengers lifted the unconscious
man to the baggage car in which ne
was brought to Missoula. When he
was taken from the train here, he
seemed almost dead, and il did not look
as il he would pull through. He was at
once removed To the Northern Pacific
hospital, where an examination showed
that he had escaped any serious injury
and was in no danger of death. He
was placed in charge of. the county Off
Gals. as he is not a railroad man. The
surgeons think that he will pull
through with good care.
