Athens, April Ill (Midnight.) News
has Just reached here that the Greeks
after a desperate battle, captured and
burned Damasi. Viglia is still resist
ing Another division of the Greek
troops, it is reported, tMyersed Reveni
pass and captured three block houses.
This division almost reached Damasi,
where ii will effect a union With the
force that captured the town. Twenty
thousand troops under Gen. Smolenltz
displayed the greatest bravery. Reveni
lies twelve miles northwest OF LariSSa.
Edham Pasha, with a force variously
Is mated from ten TO fourteen thou
sand troops, led seven assaults against
il Tuesday, but all were repused by the
Greeks. Crown Prince Constantine
has telegraphed that the Turks at that
point were completely and finally re-
pulsed. In Athens greater attention
has been paid 10 the operations in the
neighborhood of Reveni than those at
Milouna pass. The theory all along
has been that if the Greeks could es-
tablish themselves at Damasi, their
road would lie open to Elassona. The
exact situation at 1yrnavo is somewhat
in doubt. News from that point is
conflicting, but there is no confirmation
OF the rumor that that place has been
captured by the Turks, What seems
to have happened is that TyrnaVo vas
evacuated in order to send troops for
Mayd to Reveni and then reoccupied by
troops returning from Milouna.

Both houses of the legislature meet
at II a. M. today and it is expected that
all committees will report at this SEES
sion all the bills still in their posses
sion. The closing days of the legisla-
ture are busy ones. Nearly every mem
Der is deeply interested in one or more
bills and he is putting in his best ticks
for them. Senator Burke nearly caused
panic in the upper house Tuesday
evening by moving that all assembly
bills before that body be laid on the ia
Bile, because the lower house accorded
similar treatment to a certain senate
bill Monday evening. Milder counsel
prevailed. however thereby narrowly
averting what might have developed
into a stubborn fight.

Rural Free Delivery

From the Philadelphia Press.
 First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, as shown by his annual report, is fully alive to the needs of the post office service. Rural free delivery as put to the test by the department in twenty-nine states is a success. It can only be advantageously put in opera in the more settled parts of the country but Mir Heath thinks it should become Q permanent feature of the postal administration In this he is unques- tionably right. Had Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker's efforts in this direc- ton been carried forward by the Cleveland administration the rural free delivery might now be in opera. ton over considerable part of the country, without much, if any, addi- tional expense.

4 Second Crop of Tubers.

Topeka Kan.-Potato growers near Wilder. Johnson county. have sent to the state board of agriculture box of voluteer secoud-crop potatoes, grown on their lands this year and now ready to harvest. After gathering their reg ular crop, mainly of the Ono variety, their ground was plowed, and from thls and the seed left in it, they will have about ?, 900 bushels of very fine size, form and quality, grown without the use of any seed that they would miss, without planting and without cultivation. For slze they range in weight from four to six ounces, and in appearance are far above the average potatoes on the market. The second growth potatoes are finer than you could buy on theastreet ordinarily, and the growers getting them as they did, are at no expense whatever except for digging them.

No Pensions to Civil Servants.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Frugality is not frquently character istic of the public employe; that will be admitted. There is too large an ele- ment of spoilsmen and politicians among them A civil pension list would encourage the continuance of extravagant habits that unfit them for their duties from day to day, even leading to premature old age. There are too many prodlgals in Washington. The government is not obliged to in- crease or encourage this class, but rather to discourage it.

cost the society over $40. 600, and the
trustees did not see the wisdom OF paying
high rent for a downtown office when

OF making the necessary alterations.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
One of the Secrets of Her Long Life and
Vitality.

One of the Secrets of Her Long Life and
Vitality.
Ladies who suffer from poor health may
gain valua BILE information by reading of
the astonishing discovery recently made
by the London World.
This journal has lately been investigat-
ing the cause of Queen Victoria's wonder
ful health and strength, and has discov-
cred that it is due to the fact that she
drinks whisky diluted with water. She
does this by the advice of the court phys
icians. The whisky she drinks is obtained
from private distillery and is, OF course,
perfectly pure.
The facts above given prove two things:
nrst, that medical mon universally recog-
nlze that pure whisky sustains the health
and prolongs life; and second, that in
order to do good, the whisky must be
absolutely pure. The leading American
physicians have always indorsed these
views. Its on this account that they have
so strongly recommended Duffys pure
malt whisky to people whose systems
need to be strengthened and built UP.
This is because it is the only incidentally
pure whisky produced in America, and in
this respect it is totally unlike all others.
So true is this that while many temper
ance people denounce WHISTLES in gem
eral. they acknowledge the superior merit
of Duffy's pure malt. There are, however.
many inferior limitations sold by deal
ers and, wnen purchasing, care should
therefore bs taken to see that none of
these is substituted
