slender, graceful. he had besides the
air majestic which kings affect, i'm.

illusions, nothing of it remained but
the mouth, and that kept enlarging

distinct recollection of the man and

Greek Emigration Increasing.

Information received by the govern.
ment from various Greek provinces In
dicates that the emigration to America
is increasing. A committee of depu-
ties has been appointed to look into
the matter. and 1t Is probable that
measures will be adopted to restrict
and limit emigration from Greece. re
Is estimated that by the end of the
year the number of those who have
expatriated themselves will reach TO-
900. Hitherto emigration has taken
place principally from the Peloponne-
sus, but it Is now spreading to central
Greece, to Thessaly and the islands.
To the last call for conscripts for the
army In last September not more than
half the usual number responded.
