CHRISTMAS ..-o W. TEnHo.-
How She Positively Knew That lie Loved
Her. ....

Her.
Ard il came to pass, says the Balu-
more News. that the mech-eyed youth
looked upon the glorious girl while her
checks were red and he spake unto her,
saying: "Fairest creature uEon Garth,
wilt thou be my beauteous BRIDE"
And the glorious girl made swift an
swer. saying: Not, o Reginald! not
until you have given me positive proof
that you love me-" ... H..
And the face of the glorious girl was
even as tie wild lily OF the untrodden
forest for coyness, but >her voice was
like unto the tax collectors for firmness.
And the meck-eyed youth looked him
far away into the hcnceforth, for great
fear was with him, and in his wailing
woe ne Was fain to end it all. a..
And IL came to pass that in that dark
est moment a great light dawned upon
him and he spake unto the glorious
girl. saying: Lest, peradvcntuIe. thou
misundcrstandst me, again do say, be
my beauteous bride. AS for proof that
] love thee, fair one. let me draw your at
tention to the fact that Christmas is
scarce two weeks bence-dost want more
proof"
And straightway the glorious girl
nestled close TO his more or less manly
breast, and even as she nestled. she
spake, saying: Thou art indeed brave.
Most men would have waited till after
Christmas; but you-ouch! You
mustn't muss my hair. dear"

era Ut a later date they were also
called Muscoy:tcs. from Moscow, their
leading city. The state was founded
by Ruric, sG2 a. ID. Russia was a
duchy until 1857, when it became the
grand ducby % vladimir, remaining

UNEXPECTED obstacle was put in his way
by an order transferring him to Mare ISL
and. The time was all but up for him to
leave for the coast when Charles Moore OF
Brooklyn, an old friend of Secretary Long,
persuaded the Secretary to rescind his or
der.
OF this revocation Peary has received
notice. and although no arrangements have
yet been made for the necessary leave of
absence for the carrying out of his plans,
measures for their accom- plishment will
soon be taken.
The glory of the American flag, whose
prestige in the far north has been sur
passed by the Norwegian flag after an
ascendency of dozen years, was factor
in Secretary Longs decision. Peary
should get started for the north on his
preliminary journey before the end of
June. He will, however, be unable to say
on what date he can start until the de-
sired leave of absence Is granted. Ac.
cording to Peary's plan the preliminary
trip will be made solely for the purpose of
arranging to colonize the Esquimaux of
Whale Sound to meet him at a fixed
point iE the summer of 1898 with supplies.
In that summer the expedition Will itself
start out.

so far show that they are acting according
to well-laid plans and under the direction
of leaders who understand something of
military strategy. The first strike across

NEW CREVASSES IN THELEVEES
REPORTED HOURLY.
Many Negroes Have Been Drowned.
Thousands of Horses and Cattle
Lost In the Torrents.

NEW ORLEANS La, April 17,-This
afternoon the crevasse in the Biggs levee
was 1900 feet wide, and pouring hourly
800, 600 600 cubic feet of water over the
lands along the Tensas' banks The Bggs
levee is 5000 feet long, and most of it is so
weak that the break is expected soon to
measure mile in width, causing a great
loss to property.
In Madison and other parishes of North
Louisiana the amount of damage done to
big cotton plantations in Tensas and Con-
cordia is yet problematical. Ii the break
increases it will food those parishes, be-
sides inficting severe loss in the low-
lands of Catahoula and Franklin.
The crevasse caused fall in the river at
Vicksburg and ell neighboring points,
and will check the rise below for few
davs. but will only do harm by keeping
t food up much longer than was ex-
pected.
All the water going through the Bisgs
crevasse will find its way into the Red
River through the Ouachita, and most of
it will return ultimately to the Missis-
sippi in the next few weeks. causing a
prolonged strain to the levees south of the
Red River. A portion of the levee will &c
down. The river is swellen 1T ChafaIaya,
endangering all the sugar country near
that stream.
The town of Delta Is almost entirely
under water. 1t will be completely so by
morning. President Maxwell of the
Tensas levee ielegraphs to-day that other
levees might be saved.
Lieutenant-Governor Snyder says the
Biggs crevasse will overflow most of the
Tensas district. As the fool will con-
tinue very late this year, far beyond the
planting season. it means ttat no crop
will be made in Tensas this year.
At New Orleans in some places the
water is nearly to the top of the Ievee.

Declaration Of Hostilities by the
Porte Quickly Followed by
Fierce Fighting.

LARISSA, GREECE. April 1s.-4 A. M
Fierce fighting between the two armies
has been in progress several hours. Under
cover of the darkness large detachments
OF Turkish troops were thrown forward
against the Greek forces at Mount Anal
ipsis. The Greeks are well fortified and
their resistance has been stubborn.
Repeated assaults by large bodies of
Turkish troops were repulsed with heavy
loss, and the Greeks have not abandoned
any of their positions
The firing began in an effort of the Tur-
kish commander to occupy a strategic po-
sition several miles in advance of the
Turkish strongholds. 1t is said the Turks
retired after several assaults had been
made.
A battle is now raging along the whole
OF the Thessalian frontier. To-day's
general engagement was precipitated by

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17.-Sec-

Minister at Constantinopie. The Secre-
tary said that while the message was in
department cipher and could not be fully

The Secretary said hostilities between
Turkey and Greece would not affect the
United States. He had before him pub

trade of the United States and The two
countries involved was too small to cause
any embarrassment to the United States.
The annual commerce of the United

TURKS THE AGGRESSORS,
Greeks in Position to Declare
They are Only Fighting on
the Defensive.

LONDON, Eng, April 1s.-Though the
recalling of the Turkish Minister from
Athens, the dismissal OF the Greek Minis
ter from Constantinople, and the ordering
OF Edhem Pasha to assume the offensive,
are all preliminary to a declaration of war
1t does not appear that such a declaration
has been formally made, but there is
not the slightest doubt it will be as soon
as the Sultan can affix his signature.
1t has been contend ed in various quarters
that the raid by the Greek irregulars into
Macedonia was made for the sole purpose
of forcing the Porte TO declare war. Tech
nically, Turkey would be the aggressor,
and the Greeks will be in position to de-
clare that they are only fighting in defense
