No Lack OF Union Among the Powers.
LONDON, March 1.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Times denies that
there is any lack of union among the
powers, although he says it is impos.
sible to dissuade the populace from be-
lieving that there is no union among
them. There is confident expectation
among the Greeks that their country
will emerge triumphant from the con.
fusion.

General Lord WO1seley

The story Of Lord Wolseley's life,
is full of the dramatic. During Eng
lands second war with Burmah, in
1852, he was only an ensign. In lead
ing a storming party, both he and q
brother officer were shot down as they
entered the enemy's works. One bled
to death in five minutes, and Wolseley
was only saved almost by a miracle
after months Of terrible suffering.
The Crimean war, in 1854, found him
ready for duty. but he got terribly
knocked to pieces there. During the
siege Of Sebastopol fate was strangely
against him. He was slightly wounded
on April 10 and on June z; but on
August 80, while at work in the
trenches, he was knocked over by q
solid shot striking near him. killing
those about him and rending him al
most lifeless. He was picked up TOR
dead, and hardly recognizable from
the number Of wounds on his face.
His body was as if filled with the
contents of a shotgun. The surgeons
regarded him as beyond hope, but he
took a different view Of it, n after
suffering for many weeks he recovered.
For a long time he lived in a dark
cave, total blindness being threatened
from the effects Of his wounds. While
this dire calamity was hanging over
him, the fall Of Sebastopol was
announced. In wounds Lord Wolseley
always had any amount Of a luck.

Death Of . or... Phi,.n.hrop,.r.

We regret to announce the death Of

place last night at Englefield House
near Reading. He was born in 1911.
and educated at the Ca~rterhouse and
st. Johns College. Cambridge. In
1897 be was called to the bar at
Lincoln's Inn. OF no man could it
be so literally affirmed that his left

dating back to 81. He was simply

field School, within a mile Of his house,
has lost one Of it's truest friends. whose
name was q household word with
every boy.
Mr.. Benyon's loss to the National
Society will be simply irreparable, for
he not only subscribed largely-having
implicit faith in his lifelong friend the
Dean Of st. Paul's, the Treasurer-but
he kept many individual church schools
throushout the country from succumb-
ing. He gave first at home, but he
never let charity stop there. Many
foreign missions benefited by his purse
and by his warm recommendation Of
them to friends, n he not only gave
large sums anonymously. but special
gifts to individuals and parishes. Of
which the handsome pulpit of st. Ag-
mes. Remington, may be named as an
example. Bishop Wilberforce used to
say that he had a layman in Berks
and Bucks-Mr. Benyon and Mr.. ]. g.
Hubbard-to both of whom st. Luke's
description Of st. Barnabas applied.
Courteous, sympathetis, a man of-vari-
ed tastes and sympathies, Mr. Benyon
was one of the best examples Of a
cultured layman of the Victorian era.
He married Mary, second daughter of

Paper Mills to Combine,

1t looks as though a combination of
some OF the largest paper mills will soon
be made, says Boston dispatch to the
Springfield Republican of Monday. A few
days ago a special car took number of
prominent paper mill men to Boston to
look over the Olcott Balls company's big
plant. 1t is proposed to unite under the
same management all the large mills in the
country which make news paper. 1t is
said that the price of this paper has fallen
so low of late as to leave little or no mar
gin. By combining it is intended to hold
the present prices on news paper, although
the promoters of the combine have no
expectations Of being able to raise the
price. No attention will be paid to small
concerns, only the largest mills in the
country being included in the trust The
combination will include the following
large mills: Niagara Falls paper COM
pany, Glens Falls paper mill company,
Ticonderoga pulp and paper company,
Hudson River pulp ard paper company,
Turner's Falls paper company, Fall Noun
tain paper company, Olcott Falls company,
