The warships of the European powers, which have been sent to Crete to overawe the Greeks, opened fire on the insurgents in Crete last Saturday, and checked their attempts to take the town of Canea. The people of Crete have voted in favor of union with Greecs, and they are heartily sick of Turkish rule. Crete has over 2O0,0 orthodox Greeks and but about 10000 Mohammedans, which Is the sim- plest yet most powerful argument for the union Of the island with Greece rather than with Turkey. It Is a shame that the powers will not let the people of Crete settle their own affairs in their own way,
 and that Turkey Is upheld in its brutali- ties and vicious civilization because there Ia danger of great war should Crete be severed from Turkey. In this struggle American sympathy, as the author of the resolutions passed by the senate on Sat urday, Is with the Cretans and Greeks. The London Daily News says the powers have decided to liberate Crete from d. rect Turkish rule. An Athens dispatch says 1t Is stated there upon good author ity that the Greek government rejects the proposals of the powers to establish au- tonomy in Crete, and proposes to perse- we're in the policy adopted by King George.

Dissection and vivIsection in public schools have been prohibited by the Wash ington Legislature. And very properly 1; for while the former, and possibly the latter, is necessary to the thorough equip ment of the medical practitioner, such illustrative teaching Is not called for in tho public school, where the pupils can learn all that Is needed that they should know of anatomy from text books and manufactured models. It Is worse than unnecessary in the public schools 1t can not but feed the morbid tendencies which are almost sure to be found somewhere among the scholars. The people of Mat. teawan, N. Y., therefore, have good reasons for feeling indignant at the dis. section of a kitten by female teacher in one of the public schools at that place and we do not see that the explanation of the principal of the school Is calculated to allaythe Indignation. He says the kitten was ohloroformed in a wash boiler in the school basement, and that the dlssector carried the carcass to the laboratory, where the members of the graduating class had assembled. "She then put the csrcass on the operating table, and, scalp or in hand, proceeded with the first oper- ation of dissection that has ever been performed in the Matteawan public sohools." It should not only be the first, but the last notwithstanding, as the principal save, the dissection was perform - cd In accordance with syllabus prescribed by the state regents providing for opera nons of the kind in public schools for the benefit of the classes in physIology.- Boston 7rGnsoripe s

The contrast fin the condition of the county between the time of Lincoln's first Inauguration, and that of President elect Mckinley Is said to be vividly pOI- trayed In an article by stephen Fiske for the March Ladies' Home Journal. There were grave fears that Lincoln would be assassinated as he rode in the inaugural procession to the Capitol, and every possible precaution was taken for his safe ty. Special officers and detectives in cltizens'clothes were stationed In nu mbers among the crowds that lined the side walks, and sharpshooters occupied posi- tions of vantage on housetops, etc., along the route of parade. The military escort of the Presldent-elect was heavily armed, ready to promptly meet any hostile de- monstratlons, and the crowds were kept distance from the Presidents carriage SO far that they could not distinguish MT. Lincoln from Mir. Buchanan, who rode be- side him. The police were instructed to arrest all persons making opprobrlous threats against Mir. Lincoln, or utterlng dlsloyal sentiments. The tension was great and the whole country was in a state of suppressed excitement

Judge Shumway of New Haven Monday decided against the claim of defendant in the divorce suit brought by Mrs Radcliffe Hicks that Mir. Hicks Is not a resi- dent of this state. In his memorandum the judge says: ''It Is not intended by the decision to relieve the plaintiff of any burden to prove the facts necessary to give him jurisdiction in this court. The defendant seeks by this motion to deprive the plaintiff of hearing In this state. He has failed to prove the facts alleged to the effect that the defendant had not con- tinuously resided in the state for three years prior to the date of this complaint" I" In reference to the claim that there was no actual service of the complaint on the defendant, Judge Shumway says: "lt seems that this writ passed into the hands of the confidential clerk of the defendant aud was within one day delivered to the defendant's counsel in Bridgeport" Now that the plea to the jurisdiction of the court has been disposed of, the question of allmony pending the trial of the suit will be considered.

Tho somewhat famous case against P. W. Turner of Turnerville was nolled in the United States court Tuesday at New Haven. Turner was postmaster In the town named and was busted by President Cleveland.
