Thousands OF CongratuIatory Tele-
grams Arriving at the Palace.

| ATHENS, Feb. 2S.-One of the men

Greece on Saturday has been arrested.
His name is Karditza. and he is a minor
employed in the Mayors office here.
He refused to give the name of his ac-

sympathy to the King. and thousands
of congratulatory kilograms are arriv-
| ing at the palace. The royal family

tanned information that Karditza was
hiding in a house of ilI-repute, which
they caused to be surrounded by the
police. but in the meantime Karditza
| had gone to the Public Prosecutors
office and surrendered himself declar-
ing his innocence. Closely pressed, how
ever, he confessed to be one of the
Kings assailants. He did not express
any regret and declared that if the gun
had not trembled in the hands of his
accomplice the King would have been
killed. karditza refused to furnisheany
further information.
According to the "Astay." 1T has been
decided a a secret meeting Of a certain
club, held outside the city, to aSsas-
sinate the King because he had ac-
cepted the proposition for international
financial control OF the revenues. in or
der to arrange the war loan. This de-
cision, it further appears, was recorded
on the minutes of the club a copy of
which was sent to the King. who paid
no attention to the threat. Later Kar-
ditZa said the plan was to shoot the
Kings coachman and the horses. and
| then to dispatch the King with pistols
which he and his companion were car
rying.
King George has identified a photo
graph Of Karddtza as that of one of his
assailants.
His majesty has received a message
of congratulations from President Nc

GOOD ADVICE FOR THE MErHoD1srs.

GOOD ADVICE FOR THE METHoDIsTs.
About one half of the amount neces-
sary to build q new Methodist church
has been subscribed. While some of the
younger members think the old building
hardly attractive enough to be In keep
ing with modern ideas, yet the older
ones think it hardly advisable to branch
out too strong, until their present &C
commodations are not large enough to
meet their wants. In other words they
say I'LL the old building before talking of
4 new one. AS the society is neither
large nor wealthy, it would seem to be
good policy to be careful not to arrive
at to hasty a conclusion. A new build.
ing would be a great addition to the ap.
pearsnce of our village, but q poor
church, heavily indebted, will scarcely be
productive of much good in the com
muniEy.
