APPEALS TO THE POWERS.
Late Notes on the Cretan Situation
Greece Interferes.

Constantinople, Feb. 12.-The porte
has communicated by telegraph with
the powers asking their support in the
Crete, and the ambassadors are confer
ring upon the question of exerting
concerted pressure upon Greece to
compel the recall of the Greek feet
from Cretan waters.
Athens, Feb. ia feeling of the
greatest excitement prevails here. The
newspapers have issued midnight edi-
lions containing a report that the vail
IF Smyrna has chartered steamer for
the purpose of transporting troops to
Crete and this in face of the assur-
ances given to the powers by the porte
that Turkey would not send reinforce
ments to the island. The city is alive
at this hour and the principal streets
are filled with Greeks who demand that
landing of further troops in Crete. It
is believed here that orders to that eff
feet have already been given to Prince
George, and there is no doubt he will
carry out his instructions, in which
case war with Turkey would probably
result, unless diplomacy or superior
force should be employed to divert
Greece from her determination to pro-
tect the Cretan Christians, and also,
perhaps, to bring about the long sought
for annexation of the island.
London, Feb. I'm. Hanoteaux, the
French minister, has initiated propos-
ais that the powers blockade Crete and
that they also occupy Canea, Retimo
and the other centers of disorder, pend
ing settlement of the dispute that will
be satisfactory to the Cretans. Active
negotiations on these proposals are
now proceeding.

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TiSM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that z. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to NO purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried =. p. P. He says he is we'll and
will swear that there r no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
nc matter how chronic OF how old the
eases are, that p. p. P. will not make
a total cure Of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, p. p. P, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by p. p. P, Lippman's Great Remedy.
Ladies, take p. p. p. and rid your
face Of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

81. An application for increase was rejected.

Il GOOD THING
For Women to Remember.

That i'm addressing Mrs. Pinkham they are
communicating with wOman-a woman whose
experience in treating woman's ills is greater
than that Of any living physician-male or fe-
male.
A woman can talk freely to woman when it
is revolving to relate her private troubles to =
man-besides, a man does not understand
simply because he is man.
MANY women su fer in silence and drift along
from bad to worse, knowing full we'll that they
should have immediate assistance. but natural
modesty impels them to shrink from exposing
themselves 10 the questions and probable eX-
aminations Of even their family physician. 1t
is unnecessary. Without money or price you
can consult q woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greater than any local ply
stefan living
The following invitation is freely offered !;
accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of female
weakness invited to freely communicate
with Mrs. Pinkbam at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened. read and answered by
women only thus has been established tho
eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women Of America which has never been
broken and has induced moro than 100. 600
sufferers to write her for vice during the last
four months Out Of the vast volume Of ex-
perience which she has to draw from, it is more
than possible that she has gained the very
knowledge that will help your case. She asks
nothing in return except your good will, and
her ad vice has relieved thousands. Surely, any
woman, rich poor. is very foolish if she does
not take ad vantage of this generous offer of as.

Veterans Opinions of the Pension
Question.

Many comrades write The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE what they think about pensions. Below
are given some of the views expressed.
A. d. s., Canton, ILL.,. thinks there has been
for long time unjust discr mination in the
granting of pensions. He objects to Congress
passing private bills giving large pensions to
officers widows while the widows of privates
get such small sum.
Again, he says, many privates' widows under
the old law receive pension of S12 month
and equally deserving widows under the law OF
1890 receive only s. per month. Nov, Why"
he asks, does not Congress correct this Unequal
ity existing between privates' widows under
the old and new law. aud give every widow Sl2
a month? Why does the Pension Bureau re-
quirs soldier whose claim has been rejected
under mmissioner Lochren on the ground
that there was no pensiouable rating, when
there was pensionable rating of not less than
six. eighteenths or one-haf the rating under
the act of Juno q, $780, to make out q
declaration for pension instead of reopening
claim and allowing soldier to prove up? Why
is it that soldiers who vera Uni Justly dropped
from the pension rolls under Lochren not
restored, more especially when they can show
that they were dropped without proof Of fraud
or process of law? Why are not soldiers given
title in fee simple to 160 acres of land when
they settle upon it, and not required to live
upon it five years less army service deducted,
or the Same time as any other person less mill
tSry service deducted?"
