clearly reached his ears: "EnriQue-dsad-"

the sandy road. Manuel sxerted all his

FAST DAY PROCLAMATION
REV. DIR. NEWMAN SMYTH REFUSES
TO READ IT.

Good Friday Sanctioned by Higher Au-
thority Than the Stnte-Once u Day of
Mourning Now Public Holiday-Re-
ligious Services VIII be Held In United
Church.
A custom, which dates back to a time
when the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary, was departed from
yesterday morning by the Rev. DR..
Smyth of Center church when he omit
ted to read the Fast Day proclamation
of Governor Cooke, appointing April
16, Good Friday, as day Of fasting
and prayer.
DR.. Smyth said in reference to the
subject:
II would acknowledge as in duty
bound the receipt of proclamation
from the governor Of this state ap-
pointing, in accordance with custom,
Friday as day of fasting and prayer,
but to many devout minds Good FRI
day is hallowed by a higher sanctity
than any civil authority can impart.
and the Fast Day custom, which was
a genuine habit of mourning with our
fathers. has become an occasion rather
of public holiday. Instead of reading
the proclamation, prefer to give
notice that religious services will be
held on the morning Of Good Friday at
II o'clock in the United church. The
Rev. Mr.. Mutch Will preach.

NATIONAL MUNIolP4L AEAGUE.


Philadelphia, April 11-Clinton Rog-
ers Woodruff, secretary of the National
Municipal league, has prepared the pro-
gram for the conference to be held In
Louisville on May 5, 6 and 7. The pur-
pose of the conference will be to show
the actual municipal conditions of a
number of American cities; what has
been accomplished, and to discuss some
of the more important phases of the
problem of city government and it's ad-
ministration in this country.
Mayor Edwin d. McGuinness of Prov
idence will speak for his city, Richard
Freud for San Francisco, Professor
George l.. Fox for New Haven, Conn.,,
and A. G. Cassatt, Esq, of Cincinnati,
on the municipal conditions of Ohio cit
les.
Other addresses will be made and pa
pers will be read on municipal affairs
by prominent men representing cities
in all parts of the United States. 1t is
also expected that several papers will
be read by eminent members of the
Glasgow (Scotland) council.

the Turks opposed the attack with ar
tillery. The Greek losses were twenty
eight killed and twenty-seven wounded.
The Turkish losses are said to have
been much greater. 1t is rumored that
yet another attack was made ON the
Turks at the rear of Mount Olympus,
where the Greeks succeeded in planting
q flag.
Stringent orders have been issued
against irregulars firing and the penalty
of death will be imposed for any infrac-
ton. The general impression here Is
that war will be proclaimed tomorrow
monday or Tuesday,. The position or
affairs is now extremely critical. Al
though the Turkish army has not yet
assumed the offensive, orders to that
effect from the sultan are expected at
any moment. All classes of the troops
are full of war enthusiasm.
Some details are at hand at last as
to the skirmish near Gravena. On
Thursday morning 1900 Euzohoi, uni
formed and commanded by Greek oili-
GERS, crossed the frontier near Baltl-
mon and advanced to point near
Grevena. Here they met detachment
of the Fifteenth Chasseurs. on picket
duty in the woods, and hemmed them
in After two hours of sharp fighting
the Sixth Battalion of Chasseurs came
to the rescue under the command Of
Islam Pasha and drove to Euozonoi
back to the frontier The insurgents
lost $50 killed.
"At the same time the Greek artillery
was firing upon Turkish block house
and the firing continued until midnight
yesterday, the combatants retaining
their respective positions. 1t is not
known how many Turks were killed,
but it is said the number is small

FOUND 4 WOMAN,S HEAD.
The Chastity Discovery Made by Number
of Boys.

Mount Vernon, ILL.,. April 11.-Boys
passing through some woodland five
miles northwest of the city to-day
found a womans head lying near the
public road leading from Mount Ver-
non to Richview. They reported their
discovery, and a party was organized
to search for the body. 1t was found
two hundred yards from the spot where
the head lay, with the flesh stripped
from the bones, both the trunk and
head being so badly decomposed as to
render recognition impossible.
The testimony at the inquest to-day
went to prove that the body was that
of a woman who was in that locality
early last November. She refused to
divulge her name, but said her home
was in Carrni, Ill, and that she was
going to St. Louis. The theory is that
another Pearl Bryan murder has been
committed.
1t is said a suspected party left the
country about the date of teh woman S
disappearance.
