Just seen the Turkish infantry advanc-
ing in two columns, intending to cut
the railway. The Greeks. $1,000 strong,
under Gen. Smolenski, by whose side

of the Eighth regiment. under Col.

battalion to hold the railway. the 9TH
er to support the artillery which had
mounted guns on the right center. The
Turks We're evidently about 1000
strong. Their cavalry reconnoitercd
the wood where the Greeks We're con-
cealed. but the batteries remained
silent until s.. and at that time the
fire fell short of being effective, though
the Greek practice was the best
have noticed. The Turks ran away
from the shells, but continued to adj
vance in good order. Our right was
leally never engaged. and the railway
station was defended by only a small
force, with two Krupp guns. Toward
the end the large Turkish center was
seen to advance in the distance, but
sunset at 6:45 caused Il temporary ces-
sation. Trains are running to Pharsa-
los now. and | managed to get through.

hour. Having met reinforcemcnts on

to-day, when the Greeks brought up
nearly the whole Pharsalos force.
Save in the shape of struggles during
the night the Greeks have been sue
cessful, holding their ground. The
Turks mounted a battery on Il hill fac
ing the Greek left, approached the
end Of the wood and burned n small

The International Postal Congress,
which meets at Washington in May,
will probably consider the adoption
of a special stamp having uniform val
ue in all the countries of the Postal
Union. Such a stamp could be used in
payment for small orders of goods.
1t would so greatly facilitate interna-
tional exchanges that the argument
seems all in it's favor; but a journal
devoted to collectors" gives amusing
evidence of the extent to which a "hob-
by" may influence ones views on such
a question. The stamp would be a
convenience in several ways" it is adj
mitted, "yet it is to be hoped that in
the interests of philately it may not be
adopted"

An association recently organized in
me of the suburbs of Dayton, o., has
an idea which might be proitably
adopted in many smaller towns. The
association, according to Garden and
Forest, has been formed for the pur-
pose of identifying the streets, the I'M
improved property, and the public
grounds by proper planting, by pro-
noting a general interest in gardening,
and by systematic efforts to abate nui-
sances and to control the location Of
houses so far as possible. Lectures are
given, with views. to show how house
surroundings can be made attractive.
and the newspaper reports say that this
part.of Dayton has shown marked i'm
provement in its appearance. Prizes
are offered by the association for the
best example of planting in individual
grounds, together with the condition Of
roadways, cutters, curbs. sidewalks.
and general appearance of the houses.
Prizes are also offered to boys for the
best vegetable gardens, as well as prizes
open to boys and girls for the best kept
back yards, whether planted with flow
ers, shrubbery, climbers, or grass. Pho
tographs are to be taken of the exam
fined gardens, with particular sections
and decorations Of the streets entered
in competition, and a neat pamphlet
has been published containing views Of
the prize-winning grounds last year,
and also embodying good advice about
trees. shrubs, and climbers, with the
methods Of planting and caring for
hem.

BY direction of Congress and the
President the Secretary of the Navy
has placed a warship at the command
of the Christian Herald Bible House,
New York, for the purpose of trans
porting any corn that generous farm
ers of this country may donate to their
starving heather brothers in India.
Ten thousand people are dying there
every day of starvation. 1t is likely
that their cries for bread will be lib
orally responded to by the farmers of
the west and south. Every community
should be able to send a carload of the
corr that is now going to waste for
want Of a market. Committees pro-
posing to contribute should write to the
Christian Herald. Wheat and other
unperishable products will be taken.

turned to North Dakota after gradua-

to wash and iron and bake bread, all
of which he was teaching to his rela-

Conflicting Reports Regarding the
Diplomatic Attitude of Turkey.

Athens, May 5. Col. T%osamedos.
minister of war. and NJ. Theotokis.
minister Of the interior. are said to be
favorably impressed with the situation
At P%harsalos, both as respects the po-
sitions of the troops and the plan OF
defense. RuInors conflict materially
as to the diplomatic attitude of Tur-
key. According to n report Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish commander in
Thessaly, has asked an armistice OF
five days; according to another, an
armistice exists by the tacit acquies-
cence of both commanders; while a
third story describes Edhem Pasha as
only awaiting reinforcements for an
attack upon Pharsalos to be followed
by an attack upon volo. 1t is also
said to be probable that Admiral
Tamatello is preparing to prevent a
possible attempt of the Turks to seize
Nolo by the coast roads.

if the Greeks meant business in
Epirus. To capture so strong a place
by the means adopted was quite i'm
possible and now the opportunity Is
