Mister, won't yer give us CT liftg
 The speaker was boy of 10, with an expression of weariness on his face. The one spoken to was youth of about 22, with shade of mus,ache. The object referred to was bag about three feet high, which seemed to be filled with some heavy material.
 Certainly. my boy," replied the youth. "I'll help you on with it. !"
 True to his word, he grabbed the bag around the center and proceeded to lift it on to the boys shoulder. Suddenly unearthly yells and shrieks came from within, and the object whatever it was, began 10 kick with such force that the youth dropped the bag and proceeded to hold his hands to his stomach as if in great pain. r3
 The boy and several bystanders were shaking with laughter. A moment later the top of the bag opened, and a lad of run.
 "Fooledi' yelled all the boys at the youth us they scampered after the youngster.
 That is what they call the "bag game" It is something new, and l.. originated on tho east side, but who in. vented it no one knows. The idea sim ply is to get ferocious youngster to en. ter the bag and then have some unsus- picious person lift 1t. The yells and shrieks and kicks will not fail to upset his mental and perhaps physical equilib. rum, and the youngsters will have a great laugh as result. - New York Herald.

GRECO O-TURKISH WAR
THE FIGHTING BEGINS ON THE MAC
 EDONlAN FRONTIER.

Turks Force the Milouna Pass and Cross
 the Mountains Into Thessaly-Greeks
 Capture Damasi, an Important Turkish
 Town-Grecian Fleet Takes Prevesa.
 The strained relations between Greece and Turkey, resulting from the Cretan imbroglio. have at last eliminated In actual and active hostilities.
 On Saturday last the Turkish coun- cil of ministers at Constantinople, after a protracted conference with the sul- tan, declared war against Greece, alleg- ing as casus belli that the Greeks had invaded the Ottoman empire on the Macedonian frontier.
 For a week or more irregular bands of Greeks, equipped and directed by the Ethnike hetairia, or Panhellenic league, had made frequent incursions Into Mac edonia, but for these raids the Greek government disclaimed any responsibil- ity, and the assertion of the porte that officers and soldiers of the Greek army were connected with these expeditions was positively denied in Athens.
 The formal notice of Turkeys hostile declaration was received in Athens on Sunday, when the legislative assembly was specially convened. and amid the widest excitement and enthusiasm Premier Delyannis announced on be- half of King George and the govern ment that the Greeks accepted the Ot- toman gage of battle, declaring. howev- CT, that they were not the aggressors.
 Almost simultaneously with the dec- laration of war fighting began all along the frontier and has since continued.
 Edhem Pasha, the commander at the Turkish headquarters at Elassona, be- gan at once a movement of his forces toward Milouna pass, in the mountains which separate Turkish from Greek ter ritory, and where the principal roads leading from Macedonia into Thessaly converge and cross the mountains. Here Edhem Pasha encountered force of Greeks, about half as many as his own troops. The Greeks heroically fought to defend the pass. but by sheer force of numbers were at last compelled to give way. and the Turks swarmed through the mountain defile to the Thessalian plains, and are now pro- ceeding toward the Greek headquarters. at Larissa, though their advance Is stubbornly resisted by the Hellenes. who are receiving re-enforcements and may be able to check further move ment In this direction. It is stated that 10000 soldiers were killed at Milouna pass, the Turks losing three officers of high rank
 Crown Prince Constantin, whose headquarters are at Larissa, has taken personal command of the troops in the field. and King George has started for the frontier.
 While losing at one vulnerable point, hat of Milouna pass, the Greeks appear to have more than held their own elsewhere along the frontier, making frequent incursions into Macedonia and capturing and holding several advanta- geous positions.
 Contemporaneous with the fighting on the frontier, a Greek fleet has been operating in the bay of Arta, lombard ing the Turkish fortified city of Pre- vesa. destroying the Notifications and siler~ing the Turkish guns. which had been firing on the vessels lying off Ac- tium. just across the bay from Prevesa on Greek territory.

 Washington, April Ie.-The senate spent its time yesterday on the Indian appropriation bill. but did not complete 1t. The debate brought out an ener- getic speech by MT. Vest of Missouri. protesting against the abandonment of sectarian Indian schools. He highly eulogized the work of the jesuits among the Indians and said their Indian schools were the only ones accomplish ing any good. After a contest the com mittee amendment opening the Uncom- pahgre Indian reservation in Utah to public entry was agreed to. The reser- walton is said to contain some of the richest deposits of asphalt in existence. The senate adjourned over to Monday.
 Washington, April 20.-The senate has passed the Indian appropriation bill. It is substantially the same as 1t passed the house and can occasion lit- tie division save on the amendment opening the Uncompahgre Indian res- ervation.

CAPTURE OF KELLEY.
MURDERER OF sTlcKNeY CAUGHT
 IN MONTREAL.

He Confesses That He Looted the Great
 Falls Bank and Killed the Cashier.
 He Had No Accomplioes-Tells Ills
 Story of the Crime.
 Somersworth. N. H., April 17.-while resisting the entry of two desperate and determined robbers, and during & heroic but futile struggle to protect s150, 900 or more in money and securi- ties which were in the compartments of the open vault of the Great Falls National bank of Somereworth. Cashier Joseph A. Stickney was struck down and brutally murdered near the desk which he had occupied for years. Aft CT killing Stickney, the murderers ram sacked the vault at will, no one being near to modest them. and fled with all the cash 1t contained, with the excep- ton of s5 gold piece. AS near as can be estimated without making a system atic examination of the banks books, about s6, 900 was taken, but 1t Is quite possible that the loss will considerably exceed this sum, as no one but the dead cashier knew the exact amount that was In the institution at the time. The robbers, after knocking Stickney down with a black jack, cut his throat. The most remarkable feature of the rob bery is the fact that sl00.000 in bonds of the United States. which were kept in one of the drawers of the big vault and which the robbers evidently ex- amined hastily. were not taken. nei- ther were any of the negotiable paper and securities of the bank-in fact, nothing Is missing except the cash.

BIli to Regulate the Size of Head Cover
 ing Passed by the Assembly.
 Albany, April 20.-The crusade against the wearing of high hats in the thea ters received a partial victory last night by the passage in the assembly of the measure introduced by Nr. kos- ter to regulate the size of headgear in places of amusement. The blll was a special order in the house on the calen- dars of second and third reading.
 Mir. Greene of New York moved to strike out the enacting clause. He said that while the principle of the bill was good. It's wording was bad, and that the provisions could never be enforced. be- cause 1t would be impossible to learn the names of the offenders so that ac- ton could be begun against them. The motion was voted down by a viva voce vote.
 Mir. Mazet of New York moved to amend by inserting "puffed sleeves" The amendment was lost. and the bill advanced to a third reading. Then a final vote on its passage was taken and 1t was passed-S1 to 47.

Kelley Tells His Story.

Montreal. April H.-It is now quite clear that Joseph Kelley was romano ing in what he told the detectives here when he was arrested. Chief Detective Carpenter called Kelley into his office. and after some conversation he frank ly confessed that all he had said the night before was false. He owned. without being pressed. that he alone, without the aid of an accomplice. killed Mir. Stickney. He said that he had been planning the robbery for some time past. On the Thursday previous to the murder he went to the bank to carry out his plans, but was prevented by
 the presence of a lady. On Friday he
 wrapped up an old overcoat in paper
 with the intention of asking Stickney
 to have the parcel put In the banks

 him what he wanted.
 His reply was to force open the door.
 and Stickney called for help. Kelley hit
 him on the head with jimmy. knock
 ing him insensible. Then" he calm
 ly proceeded. "I drew a razor and cut
 Mir. Stickney's throat" He proceeded
 to ransack the safe, oblivious of the
 horror on the floor, putting all the
 money he could find into a pillow case
 he had brought with him. He carried
 the spells to an orchard. where he hid
 them. returning unconcernedly to his
 boarding house to partake of dinner.
 He paid his landlady s20 out of $40 he owed her. After dinner he placed the
 pillow case containing the money into
 dress suit case and drove to Milton. He threw the razor away in the or chard. He hitched his horse outside the village and took the train for Sam bornville.
 Felt a Trihe Sorry.
 At Sanbornville he says he got off and took another train for Cookshire June ton. Quebec. coming into Montreal Junction on the Halifax express. Aft CT I saw Stickney dead" he broke in here. T felt sorry. but an hour after did not feel nervous about it."
 Near Cookshire he sorted over his
 money, placing the gold in a separate
 pocket from the paper. The silver he left in the dressing case. By the de-
 scription given by Kelley Mir. Carpenter
 concluded he had hidden the dress suit case at Vaudreuil or St. Polycarpe Junction and at once hurried Kelley aboard the early train at $50. He was | not sure of vaudreuil, but quickly rec | ognized St. Polycarpe. After walking along the Canadian Pacific tracks for | a distance of about 500 yards bag con | taining SS10 was found in a covered | culvert, where Kelley had thrown It on | Saturday.
 The dress suit case was found in the | middle of plowed field about l50 yards | from the railway tracks. Kelley stated that after leaving St. Polycarpe fs had | walked to St. Justine de Newton through a pouring rain. and after hav- | ing drinks In a saloon he proceeded to | Berards' hotel. where he remained un- | til the Canadian Pacific express came | along. boarding 1t for Montreal. He claimed that he bought the wo- | mans garb he wore when he reached | Montreal from a woman in St. Justin | for sl5. There Is still some $500 unac- counted for. Kelley stated that he felt

Working Both Ends.

Local papers say that the enterprising hunters near the boundary line have a way of taking advantage of both the Maine and the New Hampshire laws and so get double bounty upon every bear they kill. New Hampshire pays so much for each pair of ears, while Maine keeps tally by the nose. It is not likely that the bear hunters in question are much struck with the arguments of those who urge that there should be uniform lssislstion upon a matter of this kind,

Kdhem Pasha's Advance on Larissa.

London, April 21.-It Is evident from the most trustworthy advices received here that the Turks have forced the principal door of Thessaly and entered the broad plains, where they have the advantage of numbers against the Greeks.
 Dispatches received at the foreign of- flee confirm the advices received by the Turkish ambassador from Constanti- nople that the Turks were victorious in fighting and haNe captured the outlying defenses of Tyrnavo. This place Is the only obstacle in the way of the advance of the Turkish army to Larissa, the headquarters of Crown Prince Constan- tin, which Is not strongly fortified, If indeed 1t Is fortified at all. If Larissa Is taken by the Turks. the whole scheme of the Greek frontier defense of Thes- sally will collapse and only pitched battle on the plains of Thessaly will be left to the Greeks.
