The Cretan Unrising.

Is the touble between the Christian
Greeks aud the Moslem Greeks in the ISL
and of Crete going TO be the staying
point of great European war, which The
powers of Europe have been trying to
prevent so long? No one can predict with
any degree Of certainty what is going to
be the outcome of the expedition of Prince
George of Greece with his fleet Of tor.
pedo boats TO Crete for the avowed pur-
pose of preventing Turkey from landing
any troops there. The porte has said to
the powers Of Europe that he has no in
tention Of landing troops in Crete, but il
is generally believed that it is his intea-
ton to do So especially if it becomes evil
dent that. II unhindered. the Christian
Greeks will get control Of the island.
Greece would like to have a war with
Turkey. believing that the powers Of Eu-
rope would be forced TO take part in the
conflict, and would be compelled by public
sentiment 10 favor her rather than TUr-
key. The Christian Cretans say they are
fighting for annexation of Crete to Greece.
They have raised the flag Of annexation.
1t may be the hope OF Greece that if she
should get into a war with Turkey, ard
the powers of Europe should interfere
and put a stop to It, she would be left
in possession of Crete. In that event
Prince George might become the governor
of the Cretans.
Just how the powers Of Europe stand
in respect TO this purpose of Greece not
to permit Turkey TO land troops in Crete
is unknown. Il is charged that Great
Britain is secretly encouraging Greece.
Il is also limited that Prince George wound
not have undertakes the torpedo boat OK
petition If he did not have assurances of
the sympathy of Russia.
As Il matter of fact. however, neither
Great Britain, nor Russia has given any
lEdicauon of her policy in respect to the
matter. The only tning that is certain is
ttat Greece proposes to prevent the land
ing of Turkish troops in Crete. Should
she set into conflict with Turkey tie
whole of Europe might be drawn into the
war thus started. 1t would be a great
war; and might result in great changes in
tlc map of Europe.

into the street directly in front oil pass

to avoid running over him, when the beast
fell down, and in two minutes there was
a solid block Of omnibuses, cabs, bicycles
and delivery cars, filling the street for
over an hour.
DIR. Radcliffe Hall makes the following
interesting calculation on the amount of
air a human being of the average. size
will consume in one minute when IN
state OF repose, and also when in the dit-
ferent degrees of activity. When at rest
we consume 500 cubic inches of air per
minute; if we walk at the rate of one mile
we use 500: two miles, 1000; three miles
an hour, 1,600; four miles an hour, 900 If
we start out and run six miles an hour,
we will consume $40 cubic inches of air
during every minute of that time.
THE Washington Posts bit of chat
regarding the biography of Representa-
tive Crisp has brought out the fact that
there are two very close rivals for the
honor of having the briefest biography in
the Record. Representative Joel Heat
wole's biography is actually only a few
letters longer than that of Mr.. Crisp, ana
Representative Winfield S. Kerr of Ohio
Is a close third. Each of these gentle
men occupy less than five lines in the
Congressional Record. The longest biog-
raphy in the Record is that of Senator
John McAuleX Palmer. which occupies
fifty-four lines. but Senator Palmer has
been in public life fifty-four years. ana
the briefest recital of all the offices which
he has held could not be done in less
space, Certainly one limo TO a year OF
public service must be considered very
modest.

How Gen. Anger Paid a Debt.

The following story of Gen. Alger is
told by the Washington correspondent of
the ST. Louis Glohe-Democrat Alger was
a lad without a cent, and with only. the
one coat on his back when he went to a
lowed to do the chores and attend school.
The doctor had no need of boy, but AL
gers earnestness won his interest, and
he took him and give him the opportunity
for an education. Many years afterward,
when Alger had more hundreds of thou
sands than the superannuated physician
had dollars, the millionaire went to his
benefactor who was in straits, and told
him he wanted to pay that debt.
You don't owe me anything" said the
doctor.
Il owe you my education" argued the
rich man.
"BoshY' returned the doctor, ''you owe
that 10 yourself"

expense, and l want to make it good

Social Card Playing.

The crusade of an Atlanta minister
against card playing by ladies' who have
whist and euchre parties, has aroused con-
siderable interest. The attack of the
preacher, vigorously made, has been as
vigorously met, and the discussion bids
fair to last for some time yet. The line
OF argument against social card playing
by ladies' TO the extent to which 1t is car
ried on is that the practice is moro or
/ less dcmoralizing. that it fosters taste
for gambling, that it distracts attention
/ from domestic and other duties that it
occupies time which might be profitably
employed otherwise, that it sets a bad ex-
ample to the rising generation, and other
similar details. On the other hand, 1t is
argued in defense of the custom that card
playing is a perfectly innocent amuse-
ment. which affords a number of pure
and incorruptbe women the opportunity
for passing spare time in pleasant social
intercourse. The small prizes for which
tho games are played are never among
ladies the incentive to play. They are
merely mementoes of the occasion with
which the hostess desires to compliment
her guests. In so far as gambling Is con-
cerned, it is warmly urged that the rattle
at the church fair is more open to the
charge of being a gambling game than the
average game of euchre or whist at
ladies' card party. Social card playing
can, of course. be perverted. But so can
a thousand other acceptable and accept
ed pastimes and customs.
The question is, of course two-sided
one, and there are many strong arguments
to be advanced on each side. Whether or
not discussion will settle the matter is
problematical with the probabilities on the
negative side. Nevertheless, an inter-
change of opinions with regard to it is
timely and should prove of especial in
terest to people of this City. For it is
fact that social card playing is in great
favor here. II is INDUCED in by many
ladies of the best society who would GER
tainly resent any suggestion of being to
neglect their domestic affairs by it.
1t may be questioned. however, IL card
parties are not carried to excess; If too
much time is not given to them, and TO af-
ternoon teas, which are also very popular.
These parties and teas are attended by la
dies exclusively. Wives attend card par
ties at the homes of friends; husbands so
down town ito the club" Thus the
round of social visits by families of friends
and the meeting of men and women, hus-
bands and wives. at social parties are in
terfered with. The sexes are drawn apart,
the women to play whist with other wo-
men in the drawing room and the men to
play poker with other men somewhere else.
Husbands and wives drift apart socially,
to a certain degree. The charms of the
home circle is weakened, through the di
vergence of associations and amusements.

SUDDENLY RETURNS.
A Man Supposed to De Dead Appear
at His Homo.

N mah supposed TO he Dcau Appears

James Baird suddenly and mysteri-
ously disappeared from his home in
Lyons August IA last. On the 23d a
body was found at Cunning, Chicago.
the description of which caught his
wife's attention. As quickly as possible
she went there. The body had been
buried, but she invoked the aid of the
police and it was located and disin-
TERED. The features were too much de-
composed to be definitely identified, but
the beard, mustache and hair seemed the
same, and identification was completed
by scar on one, shoulder. Owing to its
condition the body had to be reinterred
on the spot.
The wife returned home and the hus-
band was mourned as dead until now he
has suddenly reappeared at his home,
vouchsafing no explanation beyond the
statement that he had been at work
bridge building in Montana. The case
