Bliss of New York, secretary of the
Interior, will not discuss the question
of his being a candidate for the mayor
ality of New York. His name Is prom
inently connected with that impor-
tant office and the wish that he would
consent to be a candidate is general.
1t is thought that with him in the lead
all the reputable forces of the city
would unite against Tammany 1t is
not certain that under any circumstan-
ces Mr.. Bliss would accept that office,
and now there is really no prospect of
it as his hands are securely tied in his
present position as secretary of the In
terror. 1t is known that this position
is not to his liking, but it is also un-
derstood that the secretaryship of the
navy is to come to him in a short
time and that this is position that
every way suits him. Greater New
York is not likely to have him for can
didate.

The legislature at Austin is a funny
thing. Never before has It appeared
that one house of state legislature
has so read the riot act to another as
the Texas Senate has done to the
House. The thing is so notorious that
the feeling all over the state is that
the Senate has only stated the case
ced before, but never so openly and
meanly.

Greece having commenced hostnftfes
in defiance of the advice and demand of
the Powers it would hardly do for the
Powers to step in and dictate terms to
Turky for the settlement of the war.
The situation Is farther complicated
by the uneasiness in Bulgaria, the peo-
pie there being with difficulty restrain
ed from rushing to arms in defense of
their old friends the Greeks. Russia
looks on and appears to have no scru-
pies over seeing the complete discern
berment of Greece and the possess
ion of her territory by Turkey. In the
meantime the fighting continues and
both armies are proving their courage
and endurance. Greece is making a
heroic fight against odds that must in
the end carry her under the current.

the bride, Blanche Parker, leaning up
on her fathers arm. Little Ina Palmer
entered last, bearing silver plate with
the ring upon it. Starding before the
minister, Rev. James Kirkland, the
solemn words were spoken which made
these two man and wife for better or
worse, for veal or woe. The ceremony
was impressive. Afterward came the
showers of congratulations and good
wishes.
The brides dress was of beautiful
white silk and she carried lovely

the strains of music played by the
skillful fingers of Mabel Moore, follow
