Newspaper Men Like it,

Newspaper men want the best die
tionary there is. The Standard Die
tionary is in use, we believe, in the
Office Of every English newspaper (and
in some that are not English) on these
Islands; also, in most of the newspaper
offices of the United States, or, in fact,
the world
The Arena says: .'This new work is
the nearest approach to an ideal die
tionary 1t will occupy the
first place among dictionaries of the
English-speaking world for many years
to come"
London Times says: "The merits of
the dictionary are Indispensable
New York Herald: "The most COM
plete and most satisfactory dictionary
yet printed
The Christian Commonwealth, Lon
don: CAS- regards accuracy, there can
be no doubt about its superiority
The Toronto Globe: ct is well
named the Standard"
By paying S1.00 week for 81 weeks
you can obtain one of these valuable
works. The club is now being formed
at Wall, Nichols Company, and it will
pay you to call and see a copy of this
indispensable work that should be in
every household.

NO EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS
ment, and the Greeks Pre- pared for War.

Athens, April 1.-Although there has been no definite occurrence to show that it is the intention of the powers to blockade the coast of Greece, 1t is felt that such a blockade will be shortly es- abolished. Its imminence is causing an increase of activity. The minister of marine is especially busy. All the off, cers of the fleet have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness 10 sail for the coast of Epirus and Thessaly. The energetic preparations that are being made continue to evidence the staunch patriotism of the citizens. Owing ito the lack of goverlm snt transports, merchants are lending a large number of handy coasting steamers to the authorities. These vessels, which are admira bly, suit ed 10 carrying troops and stores, are plying day and night between the Piraeus and the ports on the Greek frontier. So far as essentials are concerned, the troops on the frontier are already pre- pared to take the field.
 There is no evidence of weakness on the part of the king or government M. Delyannis, prime minister, conversing today with some members of the Boule, said: Our efforts have been directed to- wards friendly settlement of the trouble, but pacific solution now ap- pears probable. Events, however, will find us ready"

Jackson, Miss, April 1.-There is noth- ing encouraging in the situation along the river front today, but the unbriddled waters are sfrolicking along in their march to the sea, and the people of the greatest cotton producing valley of the world are fleeing for their lives. Several refugees have arrived in Jackson and re- port that the half has not been tolo, but no pen can describe the desolati the devastation and ruin that is being visited upon the planters in the counties of Bolivar, Washington, Sharkey, Issa- quena and others.
 The wife and children of ex-State Seri- ator James N, Joyne arrived from Greer vile last night, and will remain with her father, ex-Gov. Lowry in this city until the waters subside. Greenville is stili dry, but the waters from the breaks above and below are backing into the city, being within a half mile on the north, and orders have been issued that protection levees be built around the city.
 It is reported today that 300 towns and villages are under water. but that is just 'ln the eye'' of some sensational reporter. The fact of the business is that there are not 300 pos.ofices in all the delta country, much less that of the now inundated. Several villages are, how ever, overflowed. Fortunately the waters travel slowly, and the denizens of the swamps have had ample time to get out

REQUEST OF MR. MCKINLEY
;oI S2red Grant Rendered the Position of fJS ,sistant Secretary of War-Customs g Receipts Show Marked Increase
 ! Other Newsy Gossip.

Washington, D. C., April 1.-The presi- dent has decided to nominate pr. w. W. Thomas, of Portland, Me, for the position of minister to Norway and Swe- den, and so informed a delegation that called on him today in the interest of State Senator Erickson, of Iowa. pr. Thomas was indorsed by Speaker Reed and all the New England republicans in congress. He was twice diplomatic representative of the United States at Stockholm, married a Swedish woman and speaks the language of the country A large number of Swedes in the United States endorsed his candidacy.
 The delegation that called in MT. Erickson's behalf consisted of Repre- sentative Deliver of Iowa; Representa- tive w. A. Stone, of Pennsylvania, and MT. Sonberg, of Pennsylvania. the sec- retary of the Tri-State Swedish League of the United States MT Erickson was endorsed by several thousand Swedes
 It is said that Speaker Reed has en- dorsed but three men for places within the gift of the president, and that he will ask for no more. His signature to an application is considered to be practical ly a request for the appointment, and it
 
 so regard it. Dr. Thomas was ono of the men endorsed. Ex-Representative Aldrich, who wants to go as minister to Belgium, was another, and the third per- son was w. A. Pledger, the colored re- publican politician of Georgia, a candi- date for consul to Kinston Jamaica. Pledger has long been a friend and ad- mirer of Speaker Reed. Representative Aldrich conducted the speakers fight for the presidential nomination last year, and Dr. Thomas was schoolmate of the Maine leader.
 Judge w. R. Day, of Canton, will leave for Cuba within two or three weeks He is now engaged in the municipal cam paign at Canton He will come here about the middle or last of next week and will remain here about ten days in- vestigating the papers in the state de- partment relating. to the death of Dr. Ruiz He will thoroughly look into this, and, after consulting with the president will leave for Havana. His duties there will be strictly legal end will not partake of diplomatic work. He will probably take secretary with him.
 Judge Day, it is understood, goes to Cuba at the urgent personal. request of the president. The president wants a clear and comprehensive statement of the situation in Cuba. The question is one of difficulty for him and calls, as he thinks, for an investigation aside from that possible to the general official chan nels. His faith in General Lee is very General Lee, by virtue of his office, has limitations for usefulness in this special field of inquiry.
 But General Lee can and will assist Judge Day, as in the Ruiz matter Judge Day, with his legal advice, will assist him and from this concert of action the president expects to receive report of much value
