ssTurkey Has Declared War, and Greece Ac-
cepts It."

ATHENS, April 18, p. ma late spe-
cial sitting of the legislative assembly
was held to-day. The public galleries
were crowded. NJ. Delyannis, the pre-
mier, announced that the Turkish gov
elnment had to-day notified Greece of
the rupture of diplomatic relations on
the ground of the aggressive action of
the Greeks. In a cool but deliberate
speech he reviewed the recent events to
show, on the contrary, that Turkey
had been the aggressor; that her troops
had attacked the Greeks and attempted
to occupy neutral positions, and that
her batteries at Prevesa had sunk the
Greek ship Macedonia. Turkey"
said NJ. Delyannis, declares war
against us. We accept it"
This statement was received with
prolonged cheers from the galleries
and the floor of the chamber.
The premier then read dispatches re-
citing the events which had happened
on the frontier, and with reference to
the reported capture of Menexa, he
said that the batteries at that impor-
tant position had been brought into
action, but he knew nothing as to its
alleged capture.
He added that the Turks, after re-
peated attempts to force passage at
Reveni, which commands the road to
Larissa, had been driven back.
The leader of the opposition, amid
renewed cheers from all parts of the
chamber and from the galleries, elo
quently indcrsed the patriotic declar-
ationS of N. Delyannis.

ATHENS, April 1S.-The cabinet has

An Au-Night Battle and Victory for the


FooT OF MILoUNI PASS, April Is, 10 a..
ma fierce battle ragged in the pass
all night long. The Greeks, who en-
tered the pass and were descending to-
ward the valley, encountered four
battalions of Turks, who drove them
back and, at the point of the bayonet,
rescued the force garrisoning the Turk
ish bloclzhouse, which the Greeks had
encircled before entering the pass.
Neshad Pasha, commanding the fifth
division, occupied Mount Harnia with
a great force, while Hairi Pasha, COM
manding the sixth division, prepared
to enter the Tchaishan pass and Haidar
Pasha, with the fourth division, occu-
pied the Milouna pass.
Before dawn Edhem Pasha rode out
to direct the disposition of the divi-
sions. A general engagement ensued.
The battle still continues along the
entire pass, over 10000 men being en-
gagged. The combat turns on the pos
session of the Greek blockhouse, which
was most obstinately defended. Sew
eral vigorous attacks were made by
the Turks without success, but finally,
about nine o'clock, by magnificent
dash, they took the blockhouse at the
point of the bayonet.

CONsTANTINoPLE, April IS. - The

a state Of war exists and has ordered
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish command
er-in-chief, to take the offensive.
A detailed circular sent this evening
to the Turkish representatives abroad
recalls the weeks invasions and states
that the newest incursion was partici-
pated in by the Greek troops, which.
therefore, esta blisbed war. The cir
cular expresses the hope that the pow
ers, in spirit of justice, will agree
that the entire responsibility for the
war falls on Greece. Turkey has no
idea of conquest, and, as fresh proof
of pacific sentiments, offers to retire
the Turkish troops from the frontier if
Greece will retire hers from the from
tier and from Crete.

Herman Paul Schultz was indicted
by the Grand Jury late last Thurs
day, for the murder of his wife near
Shohola some time ago. This case
has excited considerable newspaper
comment, and some undeserved
structures on certain of our officials.
The matter has been proceeded in as
speedily as was possible, and the ac-
cused man will probably face a jury
of his peers in Pike County at our
next March term of Court. Mean
while public opinion should be sus-

OBITUARY.
ASA W. NISSAN.

Asa w hAHSAms
Asa w. Nissan died at the home
of his parents on Broad street Chris
mas day of a complication of dis
eases. He began complaining seri
ously some two months ago and
since then his decline has been
rapid. His age was twenty five
years and he was young man we'll
esteemed in this community, and
among his youthful companions.
He was the son of John and Mar
jcry (Van Akin Nissan who sur
vive him and have the deepest sym
pathy in their affection He is also
survived by two brothers, John and
Lucian, and three sisters, Kate, wife
of William McGowen, Lizzie, wife
of Lafe baltimore, of Milford, and
Grace, wife of Clovis Loreaux, of
Flatbrook, Long Island. He was a
member of Van Denmark Hose Com
pany and the funeral was attended
by the members of the fire depart
ment in body.
The funeral service was held Sun
day at the M. E. Church. The pail
bearers were w. F. Chol, Clarence
Angle, Frank Fuller, Fred Beck,
Frank Rudolph and David Cudde-
back. The floral offerings were
beautiful and numerous covering
the handsome oak casket in which
the body was enclosed.
The discourse at the church by
Rev. w. R. Neff was a pointed ad
dress to the living, and his words
were a solemn warning to those who
are not walking the path of moral
rectitude, and should leave a deep
and lasting impression on their
minds.

Producing Milk.

The prime object is to produce the
greatest quantity of milk of the best
quality and at the greatest profit
from any given number of COWS
within year The evidence is
overwhelming, says Professor Al
word, that the COWS should be
managed so as to calve in the
autumn months. For like reasons,
September is the best month, in most
parts of the country, for a heifer to
drop her first calf in order to best
develop as a COW, and this almost re-
gardless of the age of the animal at
first calving. Calves born in the
fall are easier reared and make bet
ter COWS than those born in the
spring or summer-Deckertown In

PETER NELSON.

Mr.. Peter Nelson died suddenly
at his home in Dingman township
last Saturday of heart failure. He
was in good health apparently, ate
his dinner as usual and then COM
planned of not feeling we'll and said
he would lie down for a few mo-
ments, when he fell to the floor and
expired.
He was born in Sweden some
sixty-five years ago. and has re-
sided where he died nearly ten
years. Coming here from New
York. He was a quiet industrious
man and respected by his neighbors.
He leaves surviving a widow and
one daughter, Anna at home, and
two sons, julius and Arthur, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The funeral was held Tuesday
from his late residence and inter-
ment in the cemetery in that town

the State Department has received
through its Consular officers in Cuba
and that the same inference will be
drawn by others is certain.
Very few Senators and Representa-
tives are row in Washington, but
the state of business in both House
and Senate makes 1t likely that most
of them will be on hand when Con-
gress re-assembles. The Loud bill
shutting out books and sample
copies of newspapers from pound
rates in the mail will be the FIRST
business in the House and will be
voted on Jan. 9Th. Then comes
four days for the Pacific Railroad

once taken up in the Senate, but it
is not certain.

The case of H. E. Montross, of
whom we wrote you last week is
progressing favorably at this writ
ing. The attending physician DR..
James N. Miller removed the
bandages to dress the wound on Sat
urday afternoon in the presence of
DR.. Swartwout of Port Jervis, and
they were both pleased to find that
the incisiOn made in the first dress
ing of the wound itself was in a very
good condition indeed. The symp-
toms from the beginning have been
and remain exceptionally good. OF
course there are many possibilities
of a serious nature to be feared vet.
but the fact that there has been no
mental disturbance whatever at any
time, and that the symptoms are
especially good, give rise to a de-
finite hope that Mr. Montross may
recover, and be possessed of all his
faculties in perfectly natural con-
dition.

attached to a plow across his field
suddenly one of the horses and the
plow disappeared into amonster hole
in the ground. The man was sub

depth of 200 feet found the horse
lying on a projecting ledge of rocks.
He descended some so feet further
but did not yet reach the bottom,
which he estimates to be fully 300
feet. The sides are lined with cry

Dog Days.

Pastuer would have done quite a
business in Milford the past week.
Several persons having been bitten
by dogs, which probably were more
or less mad, and those bitten GER
tainly were made so by the rudeness
of the CANNES. Those who had a
dose of dog were Clarence Angle
who was caught by the hand while
attempting to administer medicine
to valuable animal belonging to
Jacob Kleinhans, which had been
poisoned and subsequently died,
Bayord Nichols who was bitten
while petting Mr.. Mitchell's, Don
and Harry Terwilliger while at
tempting familiarities with Col
Lewis dog. 1t is a pretty good idea
to keep hands off dogs with which
you have not the honor of intimate
acquaintance.

We do not wish to interfere with
the pleasure of skaters or the pro-
fits of ice dealers, but in some places
it is forbidden that ice which has
been used for skating shall be cut
and stored for use in summer in
drinking water. 1t is claimed that
disease germs may be thus trans
mitted, as diseased persons may ex-
pectorate On the ice and the germs
would thus perhaps be taken into
the system by drinking the water in
which such ice was dissolved. This
may be remote danger, but there
is little squeamishness in using ice
for domestic purposes which has
been cut from ponds on which pro
miscuous crowds have congregated
for skating.

There are 53SS libraries in the
United States, that of Congress being
the largest.
Estimates from the published
yearly statistics show that of the
S500.O00 spent on twenty of the
leading libraries of this country,
little over $4,000 was devoted to
books, while other expenses con-
sumed $35S.OO0.
In the Mercantile library of New
Y ork it costs IA cents to circulate a
volumn, in the Astor 141& cents are
spent on each volumn, or 27 cents
on each reader, in Columbia Col
lege 21% cents per reader, in the
Library Company of Philadelphia
26 cents per volumn or 1Ocents per
head. Now won't some one show
what it costs the Milford Lyceum to
circulate a book?
