The Gar Takes n Hand in the Conflict and

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 10. - When
Turkey, sustained by Germany, was in
sisting upon the annexation of Thes-
sally and an indemnity of $50, 900, 900 as
the price of peace with Greece, and
thereby endangering not only the
peace of the Balkans, but that of all
Europe, Russia brought down heavily
her mailed hand and atone strong dip
lomatic stroke scattered complica-
tions to the winds. This happened
quietly but effectively Monday after
noon. The sultan saw that within a
few hours he would have 4 sure-enough
army hammering away at his gates,
and he tumbled over more than
one pyramid of skulls in his
haste to comply.
1t is officially stated that Germany
has instructed her ambassador at Con-
stantinople to request the porte to
grant a fortnfght's armistice, which,
1t is understood, was signed at seven
o'clock yesterday evening. Orders
have been sent to the Greek com
mander in Epirus to cease fighting, in
view of the armiStice.

Business Failure.

A great number of men are uEsuccess-
full in business on account of some habit
or habits that rob them OF the vitality
necessarily to conduct a business as it
should be.
The man who is nervous and irritable
cannot plan with clear brain and work
out his plans. While his competitor with
a healthy body and clear head will be
found in the front ranks of the procession
while his debilitated neighbor has to drop
out. Some men can stand hurtful habits
better than others, but when one finds
that he is ailing each day, let him remedy
the trouble, for that is the sure road to
happiness and business success.
"New Life, Nerve and Brain Food" is
what he should get and take at once. 1t

David B. Hill said yesterday:
The discord In the democratic party Is like .
row between man and wife. in which argument
only intensifes and widens the breach Tho
gold standard democrats must be brought
back into the party by all means They
should be welcomed back, whether they are
regarded in the light OF returning prodigals
or as new converts. Cancellation and amity
are necessary. Do yon believe that the
a. 900 votes cast for Palmer in this state repre-
sented the gold democracy? No, indeed AT
least 100. 900 other democrats stayed away from
the polls or voted for Mckinley The demo-
cratic party in New York is strong, but It cannot
stand the loss OF I42 900 voters They must be got
back. Some common ground must be found.
and am hopeful that the needed issue will ap-
pear ct the right time. Judging from what ex-
President Cleveland said at the Reform club
dinner. he is still for war and dissension. do
not agree with Mr.. Cleveland on this point
This is not country that tolerates feuds-
Nothing is so disastrous to the health OF a great
party as for one man to become imbued with
the idea that his party must punish his per-
sonal enemies
