THE WAR BEGUN.
Greek and Turk Engage in ReIenr

Greek and Turk Engage in ReIent-
less and BLOODY COnnicf.
London, April 19.-War has broken
out between Greece and Turkey. Fierce
battles have been fought at Karya. at
Milouna pass and at Prevesa on the Gulf
of ArtA. The most desperate battle
was fought at Milouna pass, whuere 90
600 men fought more than 80 hours
without food or sleep. Diplomatic re-
lations between the two nations have
been severed. Turkey insists that
Greece has provoked the conflict by
her aggressive attitude on the frontier
of Macedonia, On the other hand.
Greece insists that Turkey has been
the aggreSsor. Crete, which was the
original cause of the conflict, seems
now to be overlooked Unless some of
the great powers intercede there is Ger
tain TO be great loss of human life be-
fore the quarrel is settled. Greek sub
jects in COnstantinople Will probably
remain under the protection &C, Nj. Ter

try would observe strict neutrality.

The Shakers have made a great hit
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be
the most successful remedy for stom-
ach troubles ever introduced. 1t i'm
mediatcly relieves all pain and dis
tress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-called tonics. The
Cordial not only contains food already
digested but IS a digester of other
foods. Food that is not digested does
more harm than good. People who
use the Cordial insure the digestion
of what food they eat and in this way
get the benefit of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the
Shakers have sent druggists for free
distribution contain much interesting
information on the subject of dyspep-
STA. LaXol is not mixture of drugs.
1t is nothing but Castor oil made pal
atable.

plete their work in the fall examina-

county. state and nation; state con-
stitution. county and town govern
ment; the principles and practice Of
common school arithmetic; ability to
read, write and spell aud to use the

New York April 16.--Airs. Eliza beth
+. Tilton. the wife of Henry Ward
Beecher's accsiser, died ON Tuesday last
at her home in Brooklyn. The news of
her death was not made public until
Thursday. Since the famous Beecher
trial sic had lived in strict retirement.
In recent years she had shared her home
with her widowed daughter. Even the
fact of her death was kept secret, and
there are no external signs of mourn

lies. Theodore Tilton. her husband, is
in Paris, where he has lived ever since
the Beechsr trial. For long time Mrs.
Tilton was almost totally blind, but
less than year ago she underwent a
difficult operation and regained her
sight Then about month ago she
suffered paralytic stroke, from which
she was slowly recovering, when in the

The internal revenue receipts fJr
the last fiscal year show an increase Of
about 6 per cent in income from the
tax on beer and similar liquors, while
the increase in the amount realized
from the tax on spirituous liquors IS
slight, less than the increase in popu-
lation. This would seem to indicate
that we are becoming more like the
countries Of continental Europe in re-
gard to the use Of stimulating drinks.

Electric Protection of Safes.

The latest idea for the protection of
money and valuables is to have the
safe which contains them secured in
side cabinet. Where the safe is kent
in vault the vault serves the purposes
of cabinet. In either case an electric
lining is used. consisting of strips of
metal mounted in connection with thin
metal sheets SO arranged that even q
pin thrust through the cabinet and pen
etrating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can the curtain of the cabinet be
raised. until a time lock has disconnect-
ed it from the alarm system. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation it is made of steel and
placed within hood lined in the same
way as the cabinet. ANY attempt at
tampering will cause an alarm to be
sounded, as in the case of the cabinet.
The door is held closed by heavy lag
bolts, the partial removal of any Of
which will give warning signal.
There are several Of these lag bolts, and
before the door can be opened they have
all to be removed, which requires con
siderable length of time.

They 1GAy Have Been Hostile. but They
n6dnit Dare Attack the Coekatoo.
There was trouble and to spare ono
lyn Heights. Tho cause IF it was an in
nocent ccckatoo which had flown away
from home and found its way to the
top of a trse near State street, between
Henry street and Garden place. Where
the strange bird came from there is no.
body to tell.
It was first discovered by the large
and noisy colony Of English sparrows
which inhabits that vicinity. The first
sparrow to see the foreigner lost no
time in communicating the news of its
discovery to its Mates, and in three
minutes no less than 80 sparrows had
assembled to examine the strange visit
or and exchange views about him. They
took places on all sides Of the cockato0
and began a chattering which soon at
tracted attention from all the neighbor-
ing windows. They hoped about from
branch to branch, but never approach
ed nearer than yard to the puzzled
stranger. For time the cockatoo view
ed the conclave about him with sereni-
ty, but the strain became too much for
him, and finally found expression in q
series of the most penetrating screeches,
accompanied by the elevation of his
light green plume, which had previous
~ been partly concealed in his fluffy,
snow white feathers. This demonstra-
ton added threefold to the wonderment
and fright Of the sparrows and in
creased the volume of their chattering
i'll like proportion.
But the unwelcome foreigner soon
found that the chattering was harm
less, and that the saucy sparrOws lack
ed the courage to make an attack. Find
ing himself surrounded on all sides by
the little nuisances, he gradually work
ed his way through one side of the cir
Gle and out on the end of a branch,
where he perched contentedly and view
ed his tormentors with the calmest in
difference. Having found that the in
truder would neither take non give Of
Tense, the sparrowa one by one flew
away, leaving the cOckatoO to take q
nap in peace and quiet.
Meanwhile the cat colony of the back
yards had been aroused by the unusual
activity of the feathered tribe, and
there had been gradual concentration
of the feline forces near the base of the
tree which formed the cockatoos perch.
This meant cat fight as SIZE as preach
ing. and it was not long before the hos
tilities broke out. Then the dogs had
their turn, and the cats disappeared,
but to- the last the cockatoo sat unruff1ed
i'll his feathers in the tree top.-New
