Bishop Jacob Weller, OF SAT- Lake City,
on the 24th inst, recalls to memory
many incidents connected with The long
and eventful career OF an homo ed old
friend. A brief sketch of some OF them

companions who have almost forgotten
that he lived once amongst us.
Bishop Jacob Weller, although born in
Lancaster county, was by adoption a
citizen OF Chester county from the age
OF len years. He was the son OF Joseph
and Rosanna (Siyer) Weller, being the
rem, eight boys and six girls, all OF whom
grew TO man and womanEood HIS
eldest brother, John, like himseli, was a
man OF a large and powerful frame.
John was one OF, II not the first, con-
ductor OF passenger trains on the old
State Railroad, being transferred from
the old Pit,sburg stage line TO the rail-
road on its completion. A man ofrare
integrity and sobrlety in his calling at
that period, who held his position for
many years and until incapacltated by
the lnlirm,ies Of age. The second son,
William, moved with his father to Wayne

they were very successful as farmers.

on to Oregon or California. Soon after
leaving Nauvoo the government called
upon the Mormons Tor 500 volunteers
Tor the Mexican war. Many OF the
young and active men responded to the
call, and for this reason the exodus was
delayed during the summer OF 1886, SO
that by the latter end OF September the
exiles had only crossed the Missouri
near where Omaha now stands. Here
they camped on fiat known as Cutters
Park, and made preparations for the
winter by cutting piarie grass Tor their
stock. The winter proved to be long

receiving ten and one half dollars per
month for the first year, which was con-
Sidefed good wages at that time. He
renamed in Mr.. McClure's employ for
seven years. On Starting out in life Mr..
Weller resolved 10 save his money and
make home for himself. His first year
in the employ of Mr. Mcclure netted
him just 500 in savings, which he loaned
10 Mr.. Mcclure at six per cent. To
this loan he added $500 in The following
six years.
In the year 1880 he married Anna
M5rid Malin, daughter of Elijah and
Catherine Malin OF Chester county.
In 1896. he purchased small farm OF
iolty acres, for which he paid sI,o37, on
which he remained five years, and by
close application to business and
economy added something to his pos
sessions.

Jesus Christ OF Latter-Day Saints, fol-

county on mission service, and Gre ated
very considerable excitement in religious
circles. E. d. Woolley preached at the
West Nantmeal Seminary, and Mr.
Weller attended the seme. Bang much
pleased and ed fed by the discourse, he
at once sought to investigate the doc

to the saving effects of the doctrines Of
that Church, he was baptized by inner

his satisfaction and confidence. Soon
after admission he was ordained Priest
in the Church. In December OF the

families, having ten wagons in all, he

Greece Would Rather Do That
Than to Retire From Crete
Under Threats.
Cretan's Prefer to Be Slain in
Their Own Defense Than
Be MaSsacred.
Recall of Greek Troops Would
Be the Signal for Fresh
Outbreaks.

ATHENS, March GA statement
made by King George in the course of
an interview is probably a. forecast of
the reply Greece will make to the iden.
teal notes of the powers insisting upon
the withdrawal of the Greek fleet and
troops from Crete within the six days
from Don on Monday last, the time
the notes were delivered. His majesty
said
The Greek nation is unable to bear
any longer the strain and excitement
caused by constant revolutions, and
our finances will not permit US to sup
port the refugees who now number H.
900. Nothing will prosper in Greece
until the question is definitely settled.
Autonomy Out of the Question.
The autonomy of Crete is out of the
question because the Cretans reject it
and have lost faith in the promises of
the powers. They prefer to die in theil
own defense rather than be slaughtered
like the Armenlans. The recall of the
Greek troops from Crete would mean
the signal for new massacres on a large
scale owing to the fierce fanaticism of
the Mussulmans who see they have the
support of the great powers, since the
latter covered the Turkish attack OH
the Christians and shelled the victor
ious Cretans who We're fighting for
freedom and at a moment when the
Turks were compelled to retire"
Premier D%elyannie, in an interview,
is reported to nave reiterated hat the
Greek troops would not be withdrawn
from Crete and to have expressed the
fear that national clamor would com.
pei the government to invade Turkey.
Greece, he is quoted as having added,
has not accepted the scheme for the
autonomy of Crete which had been
proposed by the powers.
The premier asked that a plebisite Of
the Cretans be taken and added that
Greece would prefer to disappear from
the map rather than withdraw her
forces from Crete in the face of threats.

Turks, could have been prevented by

SAID to BE in Better Shape for War Than

LONDON, March 6.-The rapid mobil.
ling of the Turkish troops on the
Greek frontier confirms the belief
which prevails among military men
here that Turkey is more ready for war
than Greece. Experts express the
opinion that the Turkish troops being
collected at Salonika could, unless the
powers or the Balkan states interfered,
reach Athens in a fortnight. The
Greek army is admitted to be far below
modern requirements. If the Greek
army reserves are modified it is stated
they will be little better than mobs
armed with obsolete rifles and lacking

the formation and general appearance,
the jaw was nearly four feet in length.

The man with consumption used to be
considered just as good as dead. His doc
tors condemned him to death just as surely
as if he had been convicted of murder
and must die or the scaffold at dawn.
All that has been changed. There is
now no reason for the consurnptive to
despair. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will cure 9S per cent. of all cases
of consumption. That is a startling state
ment, but a true one. Consumption is fed
BY impure blood. 1t is an accumulation
Of impurities in the lungs. If the blood

is nothing to replace the tuberculous mat

Gradually the lungs become free and
clear. the lung lining becomes sound and
healthy, and the disease is conquered.
Then begins the process of flesh building
and soon the hollow cheeks are full, the
step is firm and elastic, and health blooms
in every feature and in every action.
