the center of all loving thought and care.
Almost eightyfour years was the span
of her life: begun.within sound of the At
lantic's waves in Plymouth county, Mass
achusetts, closing where the light of the
setting sun shone through the Golden
Gate upon her Oakland home. More than
four,,score years of healthful, energetic,
active life: then came long days, stretch
ing into months and years of pain, help
lessness and hopeless inactivity. Even to
the end she rejoiced in every hope and
sorrowed with every fear of the church
members, and many times fresh courage or
renewed hope has gone out from her sick
room to energiZe some weary OF disheart-
ened worker. Slight ailments and trivial
griefs were forgotten in the atmosphere
selfish ease were rebuked by her suffering
and slipped out of her presence ashamed.
Dear "Grandma Perkins. - how we shall
miss you'll We miss you sadly, but even
now we lift our hearts to our Father in
gratitude that so sweet a presence has
been among us, that life so beautiful has
been lived in part where we could see. The
lessons of patience, cheerfulness and faith
learned at your bedside shall not be for
gotten Cherished in our hearts and prac-
ticed in our lives they shall be memorial
between us until we Ibid you good morn
ing" when we, too, enter the new life.

LONDON, April 1S.-Grim, terrible war.
with all it's attendant horrors, its bloody
carnage. its fearful strife. is raging from
the wave washed fort of Prevesa to the
slopes of Mount Olympus.
A note stating that war has been de.
clared was sent by the sublime porte to
the ministers in Constantinople today.
The red flame of battle is casting its
baleful, ruddy glare along the frontier
which divides Greece from Turkey.
Among the mountains the roar of can
non is reverberating. The shrieks of the
wounded and the means of the dying
are drowned in the triumphant cries of
the victors.
Fanatical Moslems, infamed with the
lust of blood, became impatient at the
firing at long range. They dashed mad
ly at their Hellenic opponents and drove
them back at the point of the bayonet.
Victorious at Milouna Pass for mo.
ment. the Turks we're driven back at
other points along the frontier.
Bullets and Not Diplomacy.
Diplomatic relations were severed be.
tween the two countries today. Prince
Mavrocordato. the Greek minister. was
recalled from Constantinople. It'll said
Assim Bey, the Turkish minister, left
Athens without his passports.
The two countries are now at each
others throats, fighting for life. The
shrek of shell, the roar of cannon, the
fash of rife and the whistle of bullet
have overridden the forcing of diplo-
macy.
Edhem Pasha, the leader of the Turk
ish forces on the frontier. notified his
government yesterday that Turkish ter
ritory had been invaded by the Greeks
and that he had retaliated.
Turkey sent message to Greece that
in consequence of this diplomatic rela-
tions would have to be severed. Greece
took this as declaration of war and &C.
cepted it.

RELIEF FOR
YUKON MINERS,
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Hit, Chairman Of the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee answered some of the
criticisms which had been advanced.
The admitted evil of the present, he
said, was pelagic sealing, which evil
resulted in the killing of 10000 seals
annually. And yet the gentleman from
North Dakota (Johnson) proposed to
meet this evil of partial slaughter by
an absolute slaughter of the entire seal
herd. Was this a humane proposition
from a Government which was urging
humanity on other nations?
Hit referred to the barbarity of the
practice of killing the defenseless seal
pups.
This brought a query from Living
ston CD of Georgia: "As Chairman of
the Foreign Affairs Committee, you
have in your possession resolution re-
specting the poor and defenseless peo-
pie of Cuba. What do you intend do
ing about that? Are not the Cubans
as much entitled to your care as the
seal pups?"
Hit turned the question by saying 1t
was not asked with view of getting a
serious answer.
After further debate the bill was
passed-yeas 14S, nays IS.
An hour was spent on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, without accomplishing anything.
The bankruptcy bill was reported by
the Judiciary Committee, and an ex-
tension of time granted in which the
minority may file its report.
AT 5 o'clock the House adjourned.

AN ACTOR AssAssINATED.
VIM. Teyriss Stabbed as He Was
Entering a Theater.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-William Teyriss
the Well-known actor. was assassinated
tonight, being stabbed with a knife as
he was entering the stage door of the
Adelphi Theater
MI. Teyriss has been playing in Lon
don in the English version of William
6iliett's American drama Secret Ser
VICE TeyrlSS' assailant is supposed to
De a former super. The murderer
ruShed at the actor as he was stepping
across the pavement from his cab and
stabbed him just below the heart. As
the actor fell his murderer was seized
by people who We're outside the theater,
and doctors We're called from the hos
pltal, but Teyriss expired in fifteen min
utes.
The assassin had the appearance of
foreigner and wore a long cloak.
FERRIS fell shouting: MY God, he's
stabbed me. Don't let him escape"
The assassin withdrew the dagger and
made second plunge at his victim, but
ne was seized by the spectators, of
whom there is always a crowd about the
stage entrance to witness the arrival of
the actors.
Mr.. ferris was placed on the landing
of the stairway just inside the theater,
where he lay, groaning loudly. Once
or twice he attempted to speak, bur it
was impossible. He quickly succumbed,
while surrounded by the theaIer sIah.
The murderer was taken TO the Bow
street police station, followed by an
angry mob. His name was given as
Archer. 1t is said that he had been a
super" at the Adelphi Theater several
years ago. and for some DAYS ne has
haunted the theater. The motive of the
crime is not yet known.
A large audience had already assem-
bled for the evening performance, and
the manager came to the footlights and
announced that as Mr.. Terris had met
with an accident, no performance would
be given tonight.
1t appears that the assassin last even
ing asked the keeper of the stage en-
trance as to the whereabouts of MIR.
TerriS, and his behavior was then SO
obnoxious that Harry Nichols, one of
the principal colleagues of Mr.. Terris,
was obliged to demonstrate and to order
him to leave the premises.
The scenes along the Strand at the
hour when the theater closed tonight
were remarkable. BY that time the spe-
cial editions of the evening papers were
out, the newsboys were shouting around
the theater exits that Mr.. Terris had
been murdered. At first The people re-
fused to place any credance IN the re-
port, but when they found that it was
true, horror and Indignation We're tx
pressed.
