THE CNSpEAkADLE MUSSULMAN.

The slaughter IN Crete by Mussulmen
of three hundred Christians and sixty
seven British subjects, few DAYS ago,
should convince the European powers
that in toleratins the Turks they are
nursing viper, and that the time has
come when further liberation would be
crime as. unspeakable as the unspeak-
able Nussnlman. Spanish atrocities in
Cuba, though trifing compared with
the crimes committed by the Turks
upon Christians, were deemed a sufli-
cient excuse for Interference on the
part of our government to put an end
To them, and prevent their recurrence.
In doing so it has cost us much blood
and treasure, but the Spanish West In
dies have been purged of the Castilan
cuttnroats and the honor of America
vindicated. The action Of our govern
ment in the case Of Cuba and Porto
Rico should prove a precedent for Eu-
ropcan governments to 90 by, if they
had 10 ether excuse. But there are
many things to justly the chastisement
Of the Turks and the destruction of the
Turkish empire. The history of Turk
ish rule IN Europe, to say nothing Of
Asia, is stained with crimes against hu-
mainly. The blood Of millions OF Chris
tans cries for vengeance against the
Turk, and those who are being crushed
beneath his barbarous heel sigh for re-
lief. How long Will Europe continue
to tolerate Turkish barbarism

Central American orchids is beautiful

were the immense Towering trees in

Of the most beautiful pictures Of Costa

tire length, in fact, covering the trees,
which stand from eight to ten feet high.
This feathery mass of blossoms soon
becomes coffee beans of bright red

which interested me greatly was the
blossom of the banana tree, which

The war on the field having been
concluded, it is now in full swing in
the Spanish parliament, where some
people are, like many of our own jour
nails and public men, trying to blast the
regulations of brave men.

Great Britain during the last Demo

Admiral Cervera will leave for his

Charity Which is no Charity.

"Going bllndly into charitable work,
for the simple sake of being charitable,
works far more injury than good"
writes Edward Box in the September
Ladies' Home Journal. Too many
there are of such charities which seek
to apply the help at the wrong end. No
practical results ensuc from such work !;
on tie other hand, antagonism is ar
oused, and positive injury Is effected.
4 weilintentioned charity is useless
except where it is intelligently directed
and COMPREHENSIVE applied. Mere
organization counts for nothing. Con-
ditions must first be studied. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the needy often
refuse the charities offered them. 1t is
not that they are unappreciativc. But
they do resent, and justly so, the char
ity which is no charity at all, the char
ity which is misapplied, which shows
its ignorance of their true needs, and
which, we'll intentioned though il be,
emphasizes their lot III lie instead of
alternating it,

TALES OF OLD TIMERS.
Some of the Games That Make Billiard
History Varied.


Very different was the game played
last night for the billiard champion
ship between Ives and Schaefer from
the billiard contests Of thirty years
ago. Old-timers who watched the
beautiful intricacies Of the eighteen
inch balk line game recalled the old
time championship billiard matches,
which were played on tables with pock-
cts, after the English style CT to-day,
when men moved Their cues over a
green field twelve feet long and six
feet wide, and when pushing" and
'Crotching" were allowed. Perhaps
Dudley kavanagh is entitled to the dis
tinction Of being called the first cham
pion Of America at billiards-he is lv-
ing yet. by the way, In Newark. N. J.
The men with whom Kavanagh used
to play were most of them known in
Chicago-John Deery, Mike" Foley.
billy" Goldthwaite, John Seereiter and
others. In the tournament his best
run was 203 Excitement ran high a.:
all the big billiard matches in those
days. Men used to bet heavily on the
payers, anu lQe contests were mostly
on their merits. Tie old Chicago bill
Hard fans" remember the first cham
pionship game ever played in Chicago
between McDevitt and Melvin Foster
in 1868, which was won by McDeritt
That year Gray Tom" Gallagher first
came into prominence The three ball
game on a carom table was not played
until well into the '7Gs Jake"
Schaefer played a match in 1872 with
Byers Of Indiana. II was a straight
rail game. Schaefer won with a high
run Of SO. 1t was five years later that
Schaefer won the big national tourna-
ment, defeating every enc of his seven
opponents-Slosson, Sexton Daily, Ru-
dolph, Gallagher, Heiser and GARNER.
From that day he has had but thre Q
formidable rivals-Vignaux. Slosson
and Ives. Frank c. Ives of Painted.
Mich, in 1888 was beaten by Carte,
Cation, Mouds and Maggioli in a tour
nament on even terms. But in 1891
he won the second-class championship
Of America, defeating Eugene Carter.
From that time he has rapidly devel-
0ped and is now looked upon by many
rs superior in some respects to any liy-
ing player.

TIE FALL OF hUARTOIM.

General Kitchener and Slatin Pasha
accomplished few DAYS ago what might
have been accomplished in 1855 by
General Gordon, or in 1854 by General
Woiselcy, had it been that the Conser-
NatiYe party was IN power IL England
at that time. BY the weak and vacilat-
ing policy of the late Mr.. Gladstone
England lost all the advantages gained
on the Nile by the victories of Stewart,
Wilson, Enller, Wood, Graham, and
Beresford They marched up the Nile
and then marched down agair, aband-
oning an empire won at great cost in
blood and treasure, TO the hordes of
the Mahdi, who for oyer ten years have
held undisputed sway as far north as
Nadv lIalfl. Under Lord %alisburv's
rule, however, energetic action WAS de-
clded upon against the Dcrvishcs, with
the result that to-day the Nile country
TO as far south as khartoom and ada
cent territory is in the hands of the
English and the power Of the Dervishes
has been broken. Thus an immense
civilization, with the prospect that in
the near future the whole Nile country
will be under the control Of England
and Egypt.
The Soudan is territory on both
branches Of the Upper Nile, and ex-
tends about goo miles east and west
and the same distance north and south,
reaching TO the south of Uganda, the
country of the sources Of the Nile. Until
lSS3 II belonged to Egypt and was ruled
by governors appointed by the khe-
dive. In that year the Mussulman
prophet-El Mahdi--appearcd pro-
claiming a holy war, and established
his sway by defeating the Egyptian
army OF Hicks Pasha. General Gordon
was then sent to try peaceful methods
to bring the Nahdi back under the rule
Of the Egyptian government, but was
murdered in khartoum. This was four
teen years ago. England, however,
never lost sight of the importance of
possessing the >oudan country as the
key 10 the heart of Africa, and the
expedition was equipped couple of
years ago under Sir Herbert Kitchener
that, on FRIDAY last, met and DESTROYED
the army of khaliia Addullah at ON
durham, new city opposite the ruins
of hhartoum.
The advance OF the British forces UP
the Nile was one of the greatest mill
tary achievements of the age. The in
vading army WAS composed of picked
men, was equipped with the most eff
fective weapons, and was provided with
every necessary even to fresh water
carried along by means OF wells and
pipes, while a fleet of gunboats advanced
up the river III support of the land
forces. Its progress WIS slow bu. its
power was inyinCiblc Every struggle
ended i'll the route of the barbarians,
though always fighting against heavy
odds. The victory Of the English forces
while it viii not lee looked upon in 4
broad anG friendly spirit by some ma
tions, is particularly pleasing to the
American nation. 1t means the spread
Of the English language and customs,
end the enlargement of the trade and
the Widening OF the civi!izing influences
Of the Notwithstanding people After
all, there Is no tongue like the English
tongue, which is destined TO possess
