Turlisi, and Greek Armaments

In point of military strength Greece is
at n disadvantage compared with Turkey,
but other considerations tend to minimize
this difference. Including the first and
OH land amounts to 209,422 men OF all
arms, The nominal total strength of
Turkey is placed at S67, 800 men; but it
is not probable that half that number could
be modified, in view of the bankrupt state
Of the government. Turkey could, how
ever, throw perhaps 200, 900 men in the
field, but here again her ability would
be hampercd by the necessity of march
ing them a long distance, through a
rugged country, with much delay and
hardship, and at excessive expense. This
would he necessary because, unless COW

Turkey could not transport troops to
Greece by sea. The sultan has navy, no

But everything is surmse! The bottom
facts of the situation are not yet public

blow over, although upon the strength of

likely that there is to be a war, the course
OF which might seriously change the map

Eugenie Blair in "EaSt Lynne.

Eugenie Blair in EAST Lynne"
Eugenic Blair and her company returned
to the Academy last night fresh from
successful tour OF the South The opening
bill was East Lynne" that stirring tale
of mans duplcity, woman's inordinate
jealousy and an injured husbands fatal
error, and as usual, Miss Blair was seen
in the dual role OF Lady Isabel and Nine
Vine. In the former role she finds the most
suitable channel for her exceptional abilities
as an emotional actress, and her work
Throughout stamps her as a careful, rains
taking artist, whose chief charm lays in
the portrayal of parts requiring full play
of the stronger passions. In Lady Isabel
her powers are given less scope, but GER
tainly her work deserves the applause
which followed every curtain during the
performance.
As Sir Francis Levison Mr.. Edwin Ferry
gave to excellent advantage his inpersOna-
ton OF the polished and aristocratic tempt
er. Miss Linda Downing, as Barbara Hare,
was at all times refreshing, while the work
of Mrs. Ella Wren, as the spinster, CauIelia
Carlyle, was intensely amusing and won
much applause. The others in the company
are all good. Thursday evening 'Jane Fvr"''
will be the attraction.

the fluctuation OF the whole New York mar

Henry o. Havemeyer has more power
than many king has had; for they would

The death of William P. st. John. or
New York, removes one of the stoutest
champions of free, silver and one of the
most ardentI supporters OF Bryan in the
East. He was an experienced banker. and
as head of an Important financial institu-
ton in New York gave much strength to
the cause in-our commercial metropolis.
He was careful and voluminous writer on
the subject add one of the leading figures
in the campaign of1896 He was the pre-
siding officer OF the silver national conven-
ton at st. Louis and afterward treasurer
of tie Democratid and silver party ma
tional committees He made a brilliant
speech at st. Louis and was very useful
campai en officer. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were
his guests on the occasion of their several
visits to New York and it was generally Y
believed that he would have been Coinptrol-
Ter of the Currency had Bryan been elected.
The gold press dubbed him 'Sinjin' be-
cause OF his short pronunciation or his
name aud the silver leaders deemed him a
martyr to his beliefs, for he retired from
the presidency of the Mercantile Bank
because of his views.

Senators. especially those VIII" walked out

sidering the issuance of a sort Of final ap-
peal or manifesto at the close OF Congress.
This will declare their fealty TO silver and
their unaltcrable conviction that there Is
no hope of anything from Mr. WoiCotts
errand TO Europe, 1t will probably be a
ringing document and have some of Tie

KNIGHTs OLE PYTHIAS.

There was another long session at
Black Prince Lodge on Thursday night.
A great deal Of the time was taken up
in the traneac. on of an unusual
amount Of routine business. and i'm con
sequence. tie work of comforting the
rank Of Knight was not commenced
until late hour; but the large number
OF members and visitors present were
fully repaid for waiting through the
long delay. by the fine manner in which
the work was done.
We were pleased to see among the
visitors. q large number of members Of
Ohio Valley and Baltimore Lodges, and
hone they will come to see us often.
After the initiatory work each of the
candidates -four in number) expressed
his auDreciaticn Of the ceremonies and
the lessons taught. They are now Of
the unanimous opinion that the Order
Of KNIGHTS Of Pythias is a good thing,
and we are proud Ci their membership
therein.
From present indications it looks
very much as if Black Prince Lodge
will repeat the good work Of 1896. APP
plicati0ns for membership continue to
come i'm. and there is no doubt the team
will be kept busy.
There viii be no degree work on next
Thursday. but there viii be some very
important business before the Lodge;
and II is essential to our successful pro-
gress that the members attend regu-
larry.

Silver Wave Castle No. II Knights Of

that are of especial interest to those
members who do not attend very regu-

invitation. Come and see the fun you
are missing. During the year that is
past and gone we have gained in men,
bership and have increased the amount
in the treasury to such an extent that
we claim to be on a solid footing and
are ready and always willing to meet
all our claims. We had no deaths last
year and very little sickness to contend
with. The only drawback we suffered
was on account Of the campaign, and
now that is over we are fast recovering
all our lost ground. We are working
under a dispensation that will admit
new members very reasonably and we
invite all honorable and worthy citi-
zens to investigate our principles and
see if we cannot compare with the best
of the orders i'm the city. We have as
one Of our best features ever known,
and that is a Funeral Benefit Fund;
true. it does not pay a fortune ont at
death. neither do you pay a fortune in
il to keep up your membership, and we
can say without fear Of contradiction
that it is one Of the best in the land.
We extend an invitation to all visiting
Sir Knights TO meet with us on Satur-
day nights at Helmbright's Hall, corner
36th and Jacob streets.
