An Inconsistent Theorfst.

From the Detroit Free Press
Down with monopoly exclaimed the
grocery man Indignantly. That's my SEN
timent every time, and don't care who
hears it!'
There Is no doubt that the trusts are
exercising q tremendous power in the bus
inees of this country" replied the man who
had come in to get a package Of smoking
tobacco.
ut Is a shame and a disgrace They are
forcing down prices SO that 1t Is almost i'm
possible for the small dealer to make q
living. It makes my blood boil to think OF
the way in which they stamp out compe-
titionr'
How do they 60 about it?''
why, SIR. II they find that somebody's
goods are being sold instead of theirs. they
will cut the price Of their commodity SO as
to bring IL lower than the other FIRMS and
20 leave him no ground to stand on! That's
where the dealers profit goes. Take. sor
Instance. that package Of tobacco. ! used
to get Is cents for that"
How much do you want for It now?"
Ten cents"
Ten cents! That's a. much a. Bobson
charges. He has the reputation Of being
the dearest man In tho neighborhood. too"
Does Bobson only charge 10 cents?"
That's ALL"
Are you sure?'
"Ppsitive."
"All right. You take It along for cents.
When the day comes that can't underseil
Bobson. I'm ready to 80 out Of business"

HATS OFF IN THIS CHURCH.
The Experiment so Satisfactory Thu
They Predict Great Results.

The Experiment So Satisfactory That
They Predict Great Results.
There Is nothing slow about the good
women Of Indianapolis, and the men out
that way can't accuse them of doing things
by halves. They not OILY remove their
hats in theaters and other places of public
amusement, but have put their veto on the
church hat.
1t all came about in this way: In the
First Baptist Church of that city there is
an organization called the Woman's Circle.
1t has a membership Of 125. including many
prominent society women. At recent
meeting Mrs. D. M. Parry suggested that
II would be an excellent idea for the men,
bers of the circle to remove their hats in
church. and that all the women In the con-
elega alton would be sure to follow their good
example. The suggestion took like the
measles in a free school, and Mrs. Parry
hastily put 1t in the shape Of a resolution.
Mrs. Arthur Jordan. president OF the circle.
was enthusiastic over the idea, and spoke
in favor Of the resolution. which was adopt
ed unanimously. The women decided that
every member should remove her hat the
following Sunday, and the congregation
" ere amazed when they saw 1t done. The
men in the congregation were SO enthusi-
astic concerning the stand taken by the
circle that the ladies OF all the other
churches In that city are said to be talking
about following the example Of their Bap-
list SISTERS, ana many predict tnat inc
movement will spread to other cities
When Mrs. Parry was asked about the
result of her work, according to the Chica-
20 Times-Herald, she SAID:
IT offered the resolution in the circle that
led to taking OF hats and bonnets last
Sunday. and think we all have reason to
be proud of the result. I do not think the
church ought to be behind the times in any
good thing, and now when there 10 q move-
mept to prevent hat wearing In theaters
and other public places OF amusement I
think 1t IL high time for the church to take
action, too. There are two sides to this hat
question; one affects the weather and the
other those about her. Ny attention was
first called to the matter by the manifest

The Cost Of straws.


From the ST. Louis Republic.
1.-The straws through which we imbibe
mint juleps and other supposedly cooling
decoctions in summer cost the saloon
men about as much as do their free
lunches" said a red-faced man who sat at
a table in the s.. Nicholas cafe slowly sip
ping a 1ulep through q couple Of straws.
Il just found this out the other day, and I
have felt sorry for the saloon men ever
since, because every fellow who uses q
straw feels that 1t ID his duty to destroy
II with his drink. The saloon men get their
supply Of straws from the big glass houses.
and most Of these establishments keen :
regular force OF hands employed All
through the summer season cutting and
preparing the straws for use. Usually
somebody has to be sent to the country 10
select the straw from the farmer, and
then II has to be handled with great cara
In getting II to the city. This. OF courss,
10 an Item OF expense which must b made
out Of the saloon men. The straws have
to be OF the uniform length OF about tan
inches. and II there are flaws In them they
are Of no use whatever. % that the work
OF preparing them q very particular.''

From the Chicago Record.
1t DOESN'T always pay to be great man.
Last spring. after the conn letion OF the
event which the veriscope pictures now
celebrating at the Grand Opera House, a
lot of men who had journeyed from the
east to see the physical culture show in
Dan Stuart's arena were on the way back
home. One Of them was rather gay and
festive young telegraph operator who had
been sent out from Chicago. He chose
with Others, to ride in the day coach.
At Granger a number of passengers from
the northwest got en- board, and the young
operator shortly marked a rather good
looking girl for his Irey. The girl seemed
to be delighted to talk TO such nice-ap-
pearing man. and when few minutes af-
ter they had entered upon a conversation
a tall and rawbored mountaineer strobe
past and glared at her she just laughed
back at the angered one. The operator
didn't notice 1t.
The telegrapher was very Interesting
the fighter, and she gasped with delight
at meeting such a celebrity Five times
afterward the mountaineer rassed, and
each time he glowered. By and bye he
stopped.

calf you've got so well 'quainted WITH"
The girl smiled just even u mountain

"Ch-huh. That makes II all right.

And he walked forw ard to the smoking

COMMENCED, Prince George Ibervitch, gov
ernor of Crete, with 30 recently enrolled
Montenegro gendarmes, boarded the Rus
sian man-of-war. The Greek consul also
embarked.
The Turks replied to the fire of the
Christians. 1t is reported that the fight
ing was attended with bloodshed. The
military governor has been removed from
his post. The foreign consuls also en-
barked on board the various vessels lying
off the town of Canea. The Greek consul
at Heraklion went on board the Greek
warship Naurochs Mialuiz. The Chris
tians at Heraklion are also hurrying on
board the ships. Fighting occurred
around Halepa Saturday. After a brisk
fusilade the Turks routed the Christians
and occupied Akroline hills. The French
consul was obliged to quit his country
house at Halepa and returned to his Off
cial residence at Canea.

DARK WAR CLOUD
STORM OF LEAD THREATENED BE-
TWEEN GREECE AND TURKEY.
Greek Warships Show Every Inten-
ton of Driving Out Moham-
medan Rulers.

London, Feb ia dispatch to the
Times from Canea dated last Sunday
night says that the resignation of Prince
George Berovitch as governor of Crete
has already been accepted, and he depart
ed last Sunday afternoon for Trieste. De-
spite the official statements there is rea-
son to believe he left his post without the
sultan's permission. In his letter to the
consuls representing the powers, he only
stated that he had rendered his resigna-
ton.
Although well intentioned, Berovitch
-Pasha has shown a lamentable lack OF
courage during the recent troubles, ac-
cordins TO the correspondent. He prac-
tically abandoned the direction of affairs
at critical moment. 1t is stated in all
fairness that the task imposed upon him
was one of extraordinary difficulty. With
out gen d'armerie, without law courts,
opposed by military subordinates. thwart-
ed in Constantinople and harrassed by
his administrative council, he had no
means to make his authority respected.
According to the dispatch to the Times
from Canea, the Greek consul with his
staff boarded the Greek ironclad Hydra,
after placing the refugees at the consul
ate under the protection of the British
consul, who told them to go aboard the
Greek warships. Up to the present time,
however, the refugees remain at the Brit
ish consulate. The closing of the Greek
consular offices seem to indicate a definite
rupture of the relations between Greeks
and Turks. The captain of the Greek
warship off Heraklon has threatened to
lombard the town If the Mohammedans
commit any outrages in that vicinity.
The Russian and French admirals have
received Identical instructions enjoining
upon them the adoption Of energetic
measures. This is probably in accordance
with the proposals which the ambassa-
doris at Constantinople agreed upon,
namely, the joint naval occupation of
Canea, Retmo and Heraklion, the re-
moval of the Greek fleet and the prohibit
ton of the dispatching of the Turkish
reinforcements to Crete.
A telegram from Athens says that the
British and Italian sailors cheered the
Greek troops as they were starting for
Crete.
dispatch to the Daily Mail from Rome
says that the Greek minister there as
serts that the troops which left Athens
had express and unconditional orders to
occupy Crete.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Ber-
lin says Greece has purchased 100000
rifles from a factory IN Belgium.

Athens, Feb IA Sunday EVENING"
Prince Nicholas has started for Larissa,
Thessaly, with the Third artillery regi-
ment. 1t is stated the British admiral
commanding the Cretan waters has or
ders to prevent any collision at sea be-
tween the Turks and Greeks. Prince
George arrived at Canea yesterday. He
received visit from the commander of
the foreign men of war. Later he re-
turned to Milo with the fiotIlla.
The foreign ministers at Athens met at
the French legation for the purpose of
considering the situation. It is believed
they decided to address further repre-
sensations to the Greek government,
which, replying to their recent state
ments, declared the government having
full knowledge of the situation had not
hesitated to assume the whole RESPONSE
bility for the measures it had taken.
The reserves of 1893-94 classes have
been called out.
Grecian officers started for Crete VINO
have been rallied at the last moment and
ordered to rsjoin their regiments, have
resigned their commissions and have is
sued a manifesto explaining that they

the freedom of their brethren in Crete.
The report Is current at Canea that the
Turkish authorities, considering that the
resistance to the cause of the Christians
in Crete is hopeless, have requested the
foreign commanders to occupy the town.
The commanders of the men-of-war have
referred the subject to their respective
governments and asked instructions.
A steamer arrived at the island of
Syria last night with 1900 refugees who
left Gambia on the advice Of the COM
monder of a Greek warship and the for
eign consuls there.

PlTTsBURG POST OFFICE BURNED.
Building, Presses and L1nOtypes
IrreparnblY Damaged.

Pittsburg, Feb. 14.-The office of the
Post, on Fifth avenue, was almost totally
destroyed by fire today, causing a loss to
the paper of about $50. 900; well insured.
The loss on the building is not yet known
The only other tenant in the building was
Gleason, the railroad ticket broker, whose
loss was small.
The Commercial Gazette, next door to
the Post, was in imminent danger, bur
good work by the fire department saved
that plant, the only damage being caused
by water. The Commercial presses and
engines are for the time being disabled.
The papers edition tomorrow will be
printed at the Press office.
Both the Post and Commercial were
promptly rendered the use and services of
machines and presses and the offices of
the other papers. The Post will be issued
from the office of the Leader until new
plant can be established. On the fourth
floor was the composing room, where the
linotype machines, 10 in number, were all
so badly damaged that they will have to
be rebuilt. The type and other material
were also complete loss.
The loss on the building, which belonged
to the J. v. Mccullough estate will be
$25, 900; we'll insured.

RUSSIA is MAssING
TROOPS.
Frontiers Reinforced for Fear of
Trouble in the Future.

London. Feb. ia dispatch to the
Times from Brussels asserts that repce-
sentatives of the powers have applied
to Belgium and Holland. asking those
countries to provide an officer capable OF
taking command of the Cretan gen d'ar-
merle
The name of Belgian officer distin-
guished in the Congo campaigns and
Dutch officer have been submitted.
In response to a request from the edi-
tors of the Chronicle, asking him to send
a message of hope to Greece, Mr.. Glad
stone has wired as follows:
II dare not stimulate Greece when we
can not help her, but 1 shall profoundly
rejoice in her success. hope the powers
will recollect they have their own char
acter to redeem.
The Times suggests that the best solu-
ton of the troubles in Crete would be to
give Crete autonomy under the nominal
rule of the sultan, who would receive a
fixed tribute. but who would have no
control over either civil or military ad-
ministration.
A dispatch to the Times from Sebasta-
pol says that the troops have been sent
to Ismalia and achievements have been
dispatched to Kars and other places along
the Russian-Turkish frontier.
The correspondent of the Standard at
Constantinople says that the sultan ex-
presses an unwillingness to proceed to
extreme measures, but If Greece persists
in a provocative attitude, 1t is probable
that the Macedonian army corps will be
ordered to cross the frontier.
Another Constantinople report to the
Standard is to the effect that the entire
Christian population of Crete is under
arms, while the Turkish only hold three
towns. This report asserts that unless re-
Inducements arrive soon the rebellion is
bound to triumph.
