That's, that shoulders and music did
their work most effectively. The music
lans of the orchestra declared they could
not attend to the score un1er the cir

it impossible to play save in toe more
feverish tempo. The green lsmpshades
under their noses were not at all suf-

those shoulders. This was at the dress

Apropos Of the biography OF the late
Lord Tennyson by his son Hallam. the
present bearer of the title, and which
has created Q furore in the literary
world, am reminded Of an amusing
story anent the laureate told by james
T. Fields. and which does not appear in
the present memoir. Tennyson, who
was large man. was very bizarre in his
dress. ana always affected q cape coat
and huge wide-awake hat. He went
up to Oxford on bright May morning
in 1862 to receive his doctors degree,
which the university had just conferred
upon him. Although he had become
famous, he had 'p6esed his life in such
retirement that he was not known to the
English public. and the greatest curl
osity was felt to see the man who had
written Maud" I'm Memoriam,' and
particularly the MAY Queen" which
then was the most popular OF his earlier
works. The great university hall was
crowded with stut ents and visitors to
the topmost galleries. Suddenly hush
fell ON the vast assemblage and whis
per was heard everywhere: "Tennyson
-Tennyson." There he stood in the
doorway, his tall figure swaying from
side to side, his cape coat unbuttoned,
and with pair Of white gloves that he
had only half drawn on. go that the IN
filled finger-ends stood out on his hands.
The silence was profound and almost
painful as each one OF the assemblage
gazed their fill ON the really great man.
Suddenly from one Of the topmost seats
little piping voice afterward discover
ed to be that Of freshman-ca called out:
did your mother call you early. AL

The effect may be imagined. Tenny-
son retired amid the uproarious lauzhte
which greeted this sally, and was with
difficulty induced to return and receiv.
in public the degree that hal been
conferred upon him.

from Vienna saying that the condition of
the King of Greece is precarious.
FROM GREEK SOURCES.
why Crown Prince Constantine Evac-
mated PhersnIn.


ATHENS, May 6.-General Smolenski is
retreating slowly and in orderly fashion to
Almyro, and Volo has been almost COM
pletely evacuated. The forces under Prince
constantine reached Domokos unmolested,
ana nave not been attacked to-day. 1t ap-
pears that the great massng of Turkish
troops and their movements led to a sus-
plclon that an attempt was being projected
to surround Phersala. A council of war
was held in the Greek camp and it was de-
clded to retire to Domokos which was
reached this morning at dawn. The Greeks
promptly occupied strong positions on the
mountain range overlooking Domokos. Dur
ing Wednesday night the Turks continued
TO execute movements with view of out
thanking Phersala, and only discovered at
daybreak this morning that the Greek army
had retired. The retreat began at O'Clock
this morning and the occupation of the
new position at Domokos was finished at
TO- The Greeks buried their dead and con-
veyed lightweight wounded, including five
officers, to Lamia. General Smolenski wired
to Athens for instructions, and the govern
ment advised him to retreat. He remained
at Velestino all night and was attacked by
the Turks at o'clock the next morning
Hard hghting continued until late in the
afternoon, when the fire ceased and Gen
eral SmolensN retired to Almyros, where
he took up new positions.
A collective note will be handed to the
Greek and Turkish governments this
CThursday) evening or tomorrow calling
upon them to cease hostilities on the dis
tinct assurance that the powers will under
take the final solution of pending difficult
ties.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, whose schoon-
er was detained by the Greek fleet on the
assumption that papers found on board of
her after his interviews with the Turks
were of a compromising character, arrived
tonight. He was met at Piraeus by M.
Ralli, the premier, who conducted him to
the British legation and requested Mr..
Egerton, the British minister, not to allow
him to leave the legation before quitting
Athens, in order to prevent u demonstra-
tion.
1t has been decided to send Colonel
Vassos to Thessaly, and Colonel Stratos,
with new general staff, will replace Col.
Manos in Epirus. Major Constantinides
will be sent to Domokos.
Two transport vessels have been sent to
Volo to remove the few remaining nhabit-
ants. The ammunition, stores and food sup
plies have already been taken to Stylis.
1t is rumored that the few wounded Greek
soldiers who were left at Phersala have
been butchered by the Turks.

AN AIR SHIP THAT SAILS
PROF. BARNARD STARTS FROM THE
NASHVILLE EXPOSITION,
Scars AIOft for an Hour and n HaIf
and AIights in a Village Fif-
teen Miles Away.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, May 6.-To-day at
the Tennessee Centennial Exposition
grounds Prof. Arthur Barnard, physical in
structor of the Y. NJ. c. A. of Nashville,
began a journey in an air ship constructed
by himself. The officials of the exposition
and the people attending the exposition wit
messed the ascent OF the aerial Voyager.
The ship moved off in perfect order and
passed out of sight in few minutes. Prof.
Barnard promised to sail against the wind
after arising into the air. The air ship will
be continued in use at the exposition. 1t
is forty-six feet long and twenty in diam
eter.
Mr. Barnard, who returned with his air
ship tonight, says that he has perfected =
machine which will fly under ordinary con-
ditions. He said tonight that it was not
perfect nor could it be perfectly controlled,
but he believed that he could perfect it SO
that its course could be controlled. After
disappearing from view this morning the
ship circled around the navigator hoping
to meet with a favorable current. At last
the ship began to sail to the west, and Mr..
Barnard says as far as Watkins village
fifteen miles west of the city, turned and
when four miles from Nashville, the gas
in the balloon attachment began to give
out He then sought a safe place to de-
scend and came down easily. Whlle alott
a sudden gust broke one of the spans of the
ship. No other damage was done. The
time he was aloft was one and hall hours.
He was returning along the line of the out
ward fight when he was forced to land.
