Europe when this mandate is again
given.
The British foreign Office believes that
Greece will agree 10 this undertaking. as
the disasters which have overtaken her
have demonstrated that Turkey still pos
sesses a formidable fighting machine, a
fact which must have SOLDERING effect
upon the popular demand for war at
Athens. and which will permit the Greek
nation to climb down without disgrace,
After a superb vindication of the per-
sonal courage of the Greek troops, and a
gratifying demonstration of Hellenic
patriotism.
IL the Greeks listen 10 reason and the
arguments which VIII be pressed by
England at Athens, ard by Russia at
Constantinople, il is not improbable that
a decision will be reached by tomorrow
before which il is not supposed here
that Edhem Pasha or Osman Pasha will
have time 10 do more that TO appear at
Pharsala.
The situation is curious and perpleX
ing. Each day there have been actions
carried out with every circumstance OF
war by one organized army against the
other; yet so far as is known here, there
has been no declaration of war. The old
military adage that war often declares
itself, evidently applies in this instance
The Turks have invariably been the ag
gressors, and when the Greeks at va
rious points have gallantly repelled the
enemy and followed up their successes,
orders have been invariably received
compelling them to stop just short of the
complete occupation of the conquered
positions.
These orders in many cases have in
volved the abandonment of the fruits OF
much fighting, with heavy loss, and the
spectacle is repeatedly witnessed of a
victorious force retiring TO it's old posi-
tions. This state of things creates the
utmost astonishment, and gives rise To
very free adverse comment. The Greek
troops can only suppose that political
instead Of military reasons govern the
situation. For three days i'm succession
were the Greek troops drawn up in bat
tie array in front of Tyrnavo and oppo-
site the mouth of Milouna pass, with in
tervals of brief artillery duels, sometimes
with the sputtering fire of sharpshoot-
ers, with a constant marching and coun-
termarching all over the field, itself a
most wearsome exercise, and this kind
OF thing may speedily become demoral-
izing, as II assuredly is most confusing.

This has been put up as a bulletin in

Osman Pasha has been given secret
instructions. A dispatch from Smyrna
says that the Redifs. who were called
out, are intended for the towns Of Smyr-

prevent disturbances by the Greek res

The consuls at Janlna telegraphed the

The American Federation of Labor
and the Laboring Mems Protective
Association in the city of New Orleans
are disturbed at the rapid immigration
of Italians, and have protested to the
authorities at Washington against the
violation of the Immigration law,
which, they say, has been going on for
some time. They charge that Italians
are brought into Louisiana through
the port of New Orleans for the sugar
season only. Contracts, they say, are
made with the italian laborers in Italy,
guaranteeingthem the payment of their
passage to America and return to Italy
and work at seventy-fve cents day

their shaft there and worked without
success until all their money was
spent.
One evening, one of them, at work
at the bottom of the shaft, shouted:
Haul up, boys, the time has come at
last!'' They hauled up, and when il
came to the top they found their COM
rade's lifeless body hanging from the
chain. He had detached the bucket,
tied a moose about his neck, fastened
the moose to the chain, and was hanged
by his dearest friends.
The party had been much liked and
respected by the other miners, who
would readily have subscribed 1000
ounces of gold dust to give them q
fresh start, but ere the dawn of the
next day the whole party had disap'
peared, leaving their claim in the same
state as it lay at the time of the

Emperor Williams elusive speeches
In Russia contained one passage which
has set everybody wondering what he
could have meant, states the New York
Post. He spoke of some mysterious
"disturber of the general peace, )"
against whom or which William was
determined to take a firm stand. He
was not afraid of it. The malign in
huence, or Nation, or whatever it was,
had no chance of succeeding against
his resolute purpose tokeep the peace,
even if he had to kill 100, 900 men to
do it. But which is the wicked, war

loving William, armed to the teeth, had
thus to rebuke? Is it England? Is

ageres, as the housekeeping schools
are called, are conducted on practical
principles. The girls are taught house
keeping in all its branches. They are
sent to market in town, and are ex-
pected to provide dinner for six per-
sons upon limited sum, so that they
are first required to get the Ebest arti-
cles in vegetables and meats for a
small cost. When they return they
are taught to cook the dinner, and af.
ter they become proficient as to mar
keting and cooking they are allowed
to order others and superintend the
cooking. In this way they are gradu-
ally fitted for their duties as future
housekeepers. This is the kind of in
struction that the everyday girl needs
who cannot tell good meat from bad
nor fresh vegetables from stale ones.
The students are also taught how to
set a table, how to mend, how to sew,
and they are required to attend lectures
on hygiene, so that they may under
stand the simple chemical laws that
naturally enough come into the notice
of every housekeeper. They also learn

The story of an unhappy bride-
groom, whose hair grew gray in sim
gle morning, and that the morning of
his marriage, is reported from Iii
grad, in Hungary.
Mitru Popa, born in Teregova, son
of small farmer, and affianced to
daughter of prosperous citizen of
Iigrad, recently started for Zigrad,
there to wed and bring home his bride.
The place can be reached in two hours
by the mountain road. There was,
however, a short out; it led through
the railway tunnel with single line
of rail. Popa laid ear to the ground
and listened. As there was not the
slightest vibration he took courage
and ventured into the dark passage.
Here, the report goes on, he had been
stumbling along as best he could,
when, after ten minutes passed in the
total darkness, and being, as he
Judged, near the centre of the tunnel,
he heard the distant rumbling of an
approaching train.
The noise grew louder behind him,
sad Popa ran; louder still, and Popa
raced. twas via dolorosa with the
small point of daylightfar off amid the
darkness, and if he could win it, then
it meant life, safety and bride, but the
thunder of the train grew ever nearer.
Fortunately the gradient was a steep
one, and the express was called ex-
press by courtesy only, and the race
between the man and death terminated
at the tunnels outlet, the man win
ming by about his own length.
The mercifully sluggish ''schnell'
zug" passed into the daylight as the
bridegroom fell PROSTATE on the bank.
When he had started he had dark
brown hair; when he arrived at the
brides house it was white as the
BRIDES veil. The lady, however, nc
cepted him ON the somewhat dubious
grounds "that the hair would come all
right in time, and that the injury was
covered by insurance.
