Greeks Resolve to MAKE IA Last Stand at
the Pass of Thermopylae.
ATHENS, April 27.-The Greek gov
ernment has decided that if the Greeks
are defeated at Pharsalos, the army is
to retire to Thermopylae and make a
final stand.
Gen. Smolenslli has been appointed
as chief of the staff of the Greek army
in Thessaly and all the officers of
Crown Prince ConstantineS staff have
been recalled. Among the arrivals
from Volo is ex-Minister Ralli, leader
of the largest opposition group in the
boule. He has been at the scene of
the war and was at Larissa last Friday
evening, He has published his views
in the Athens newspapers and has al
ready succeeded in concentrating upon
himself the attention of the public.
Same believe he is preparing to play
the role of Greek Gambetta. He un-
sparingly denounces Constantine's
staff, which he holds responsible for
all that has happened. He denies that
there was any real battle at Matt; says
the Greek troops were never defeated
at that point, and attributes the sud
den decision to abandon Tyrnavos and
Larissa to the cowardice and incapacity
of the general staff.

ANOTHER SHORT CROP.

Reports from Six States Show Poor Pros
poets for Winter Wheat.
TOLEDO, o., April &C. A. King &
Co.'S report on winter wheat, just is
sued, is compiled from 4, 165 replies of
grain dealers and millers, covering
every county in the six principal win
ter wheat states. 1t says:
Winter wheat will be another short
crop. There was more winter-killed
than usual. Condition averages about
the same as two weeks ago. Season is
two to three weeks later than year
ago, when it was trife early. Very
few romplain of insect damage.
Illinois looks the worst. Prospect
there now is for only quarter of an
average crop. About half there say it
will be total failure. Two-thirds of
the acreage sown was winter-killed.
Indiana promises only triie over
half crop. Condition slightly worse
than two weeks ago.
Missouri looks bad. 1t promises less
than two-thirds of an average. About
a third of the acreage is being plowed
up.
Ohio has the best outlook. 1t now
promises nearly an average crop About
10 per cent. of the acreage was winter
killed.
Michigan looks now like nearly an
average crop, but needs growing
weather. Some acreage has been win
ter-killed.
Kansas has fair prospect now, and
has improved trifle this month. About
a fifth of the acreage was winter-killed.

The Famine I'm 1ndin.

In an article on the Famine in In.
dia," in the North American Review,
Sir Edwin Arnold states that 1150OO,.
600 of people in that vast country de.
pend on the rainfall upon 126, ,50O,O ,OOO
acres which falls upon the whole dur.
ing two seasons in the year. If it fails,
there is failure of crops over the en-.
tire area. In this country no drought
covers the entire country; there ii
does. Equally interesting to us is the
further statement that all the, good
ground has been taken up in India-a
fact which should silence the fears OF
wheat growers that India has many
millions of uncultivated wheat lands.
Besides, the customs of the people pre-
vent larger and better cultivation. The
farmer uses pointed stick as plow
as did his ancestors 5000 years ago,
and tills only as much land as can be
easily reached from his village resi-
dence, morning and evening, by his
slow-moving cattle.

Canada May Settle the Manitoba School
Question by Battle of Ballots.
MONTREAL, April 27.-A sensation
has been created in political circles
here, owing to the reported adverse
decision of Mgr. Merry Del Val, the
papal delegate to Canada, on the gov
ernment's settlement of the Manitoba
school question. 1t is stated on good
authority that Israel Tarte, minister of
public works, is strongly in favor Of an
immediate dissolution of parliament
and an appeal to the people to indorse
the agreement entered into with the
Manitoba authorities. The minister
argues that with hostile decision
from the pope's representative it is
only natural to suppose that Quebec
province would not support the gov
ernment so strongly as is the case to-
day. On the other hand Mr.. Tarte
believes the French Canadian premier
would obtain an overwhelming major
ity from the English speaking prov
inces, and thus give the school question
its quietus.

Dunkard Preacher Relates q Strange Story
Abducted and Taken to Convict
Camp.
QUAKERTowN, Pa, April 27-Rev.
Jonas H. Price, the Dunkard preacher
of this place who disappeared in jan
uary, has returned to tell a strange
story. In the few months his hair has
turned gray, and he has aged ten
years. His hands are calloused and his
face bronzed because of exposure to the
sun. Price says he was kidnapped on a
train between Philadelphia and Ridley
Park, January. He says that he was
taken to a Georgia convict camp and
worked for two months in the phos-
phate mines. A keeper finally gave
him $40 and helped him to escape to
Charleston, S. G., whence he made his
way home. Men who had contracted
to furnish labor, he says, kidnapped him.
The mans physical appearance seems
to bear out his incredible story.

ABDMoRE, 1. T., April 26.-As re-

by a mob Of masked white men, not a
colored man remains in the town. The
federal grand jury, which was called
together by Judge Kilgore to investi-
gate the outrages, examined small
army of witnesses, but reported that it
was impossible to identify any of the
raiders. When it became known that
no indictments had been returned, the
colored people hastily quit the town.
The murder of white man by a ne
gro was the preliminary cause of the

Prosperity.

The prosperity prophets are over

flying. Many Of these reports of re-

prove to be false. Here is an exam
pie: Immediately after the final pas
sage Of the tariff Jill, the Associated
Press sent ont a flaming statement
that the Avery Plow Co., Of Louis.
vile, Kentucky, after a three years
shutdown had opened up on full
time in all departments, and that
one of the Avery Company's men
said Mckinley did it. This, oil
couree, was known TO be a political
fabrication without any foundation
in fact. Following this came a gen.
eral denial from the Avery Com
pany stating that they had not shut
down at all, except as they do evergy
year for a week or two taking &C.
count of stock and making repairs.
In addition to this, Stanley Crabb
Company's manager for Texas, pub
fishes a card to the s,me effect in
the Dallas Morning News. Needless
to say. Mr.. Crabb knows what he is
talking about when he says nothing
unusual has taken place this summer
in respect to the Avery Pillow Com
pany, and the factory has been run
ming all The time" Whether it was
a covert attempt to injnre the Avery
Company, or merely a sample Of the
work Of the political liar, such false.
