There are many people today going
through life's labors. handicapped by poor
health. who try to comfort themselves by
the hackneyed expression. "Oh, I'm
merely out of Sorts and deluding them

Here is where they make the common
yet fatal error of waiting for disease to
pass OFF,. Did you ever notice that when
1t does pass OFF, it generally takes the
sufferer along with it?

The BOARD OF PARDONS
1t Was an Unlucky Day For
ConvictS.
NOT A SINGLE APPLICATION
FOR CLEMENCY GRANTED.
Attorney M. Marcellus Nelson Makes
an Ingenious Plea-Applications
For Rehearings Denied.

1t was a bad day for penitentiary
convicts. Every application for exec
utive clemency under consideration by
the board of pardons was denied, and
the applications for rehearing shared
no better. A few were postponed until
the next meeting of the board.
ATTORNEY NELSON.
NJ. Marcellus Nelson, the erstwhile
attorney who was convicted in this city
for stealing a lady's watch and SEN
fenced to serve Z term OF four years In
the penitentiary, sent in a lengthy APP
plication for an absolute pardon. Mel
son has been confined in the prison hos
pital for some time, suffering from a
chronic stomach trouble. He believes
he has undergone sufficient mental and
physical suffering and only desires to
be given a chance to atone 10 wife and
child fo- the sorrows caused, and en-
deaYor honestly to build upon the
shattered ruins of the past better and
happier future. He closes his petition
in the following words:
Mercy is the same thing as justice,
only 1t is more just. Justice sees only
the sin; mercy sees the sinner. To JUS
tice the sin appears in a sort Of mex
orable isolation; to mercy the sinner
appears surrounded by innocent beings
he has q father, mother, a wife or
child, who are condemned with him,
who undergo his penalty For him IS
Imprisonment; Tor them, want and mis-
cry. Have they merited punishment?
No. Do they endure it? Yes. Mercy,
then, finds justice injustice. It inter
poses and it pardons. forgiveness is
the sublime rectifcation which the jus
tee of heaven makes of the justice of
earth"
Nelson's eloquence was all in vain.
The petition was denied particularly as
Judge Howat stated Nelson had been
indicted time and again, and that there
was little hope of his leading a better
life

The hope which a period Of auletness
has afforded that negotiations for peace
between Turkey and Greece would pro-
coed satisfactorily is not Yet realized. /;
seems TO be conceded that Of the four con-
ditions made by Turkey the only one
agreed upon is he amount OF the indem-
nifty. Turkey seems 10 have abandoned
her demand for abolition Of the capitula-
tons ard fer control o. The navy. but is
unwilling 20 forego all claim as 20 terri
tory. Just how much Turkey will insist
upon is not made pubil, but the powers
expressed unwIilingness 70 assent to more
than the retention of the two towns on
the south side OF the old boundary. These
are not important places IN themselves
but they would afford Turkey a foothold
or the Thessaly side of the mountains.
This concession was made TO Turkeys
pride. 1t would not amount to much as
an acquisition of territory. but II would
enable the Turkish army to take up d
much more advantageous position and
place IL where il could be more readily
handled in case of renewal of hostilities.
This plan is in keeping with the deelara-
ton of the powers that neither belligerent
should profit in territory by victory Il
was In Turkeys interest as much as in
that of Greece. because the avowed pur-
pose of the latter was conveyed in King
Georges statement that the future OF
Greece lay 10 the north. This implied an
intention 10 occupy Epirus. and make the
boundary more of direct line east and
west instead of leaving, as 1t now does.
an extensive fragment of land jutting
down into Greece on the western side.
The dispatch says the relations OF the
powers are very much strained and there
is no doubt there will be considerable
trouble in readjusting the terms so as TO
overcome Turkeys objection without max
ing too much of a moral concession. The
sudden changes in the attitude Of the sub
lime porte do not admit of any conclusion
that what it demands today ii may not
yield tomorrow. A show of determination
on the part OF the powers might induce
Turkey 10 recede. and there will be little
left 10 dispute about.
The first battle was fought at Milouni on
April 10, and the actual war did not last
more than ten days. The diplomatic con-
test mas taken much more time. and it
may be prolonged indefinitely If Turkey
remains stubborn. The tSoubles in India
and the fomenting of religious fanaticism
among the Mussulmans of Persia may be
q part of Turkeys plan to enforce her de-
mands through a religious war.

MORE SHAME TO HUMANITY.

When the present shah OF Persia sue
ceeded his murdered brother about year
ago it was felt that the liberal policy.
which the government was following,
might not be continued. The late shah
had visited Europe and encouraged Euro
pean methods ia his government. The
present shah, although very intelligent
man ~ his race. is much more orthodox,
both N politics and religion. He seems
disposed however. not only to uphold
more zealously the Moslem creed, but to
revert to the bArharlsm which has made
the name Of the Turk execrated through
out Christendom.
The animosity OF the Persian government
Is directed just now against the Jews and
It IS reported from Tehersn that a plan
has been formed for the expulsion OF
