ing the Salonika army. says in part:
Il have the honor to inform you
respectfully that the object of the
army corps in marching on Constanti-
nople is merely for the reestablish-
ment of the constitution, which is
sacred to all true Ottomans. and the
legal punishment of the cursed au-
thors OF the sanguinary disorders, by
the reaction of which humanity has
always suffered.
"Be certain, excellency, that the
lives and property of foreigners, the
honored guests of our dear father
land, will be safeguarded, and that
tranquility and security will be as
sured the entire population.
The tension in Constantinople over
the situation is still very great. The
people of the capital are more con-
cerned with the advance of the Sa-
lonika troops than they are with the
massacres reported from various
quarters.

RETAIL BAKERS SUFFERING
ON ACCOUNT OF WHEAT RISE
Especial to The Sentinel. ]


New York, Apr. 20.-The inability
of certain of the iobbers to resist the
temptation to take profits on supplies
purchased months ago is condemned
by the mill agents as poor business
policy under existing circumstances.
When the flour was held for mere
ly speculative purposes their criti-
cism does not hold; but when 1t was
intended for active consuming re-
quirements it is a better proposition,
they say, to mold on to IL, as it can
not be replaced at the prices they are
accepting.
These jobbers, however, say they
are entitled to their own opinions as
to the future course of the market,
and are firm in the belief that they
had better take their profits while
they can, as they profess to foresee
disaster for the Patten deal and a
consequent tumbling of prices. So
far, however, their arguments are
supported only by theories, while
sellers are backed by an actual con-
dition. namely, a steadily advancing
market for flour. with no one to say
that the crest of the wave has ar
rived.
The actual sufferer up to the pres
ent is the retail baker. For weeks
the cost OF his material has been
growing dearer, but he has not been
able to advance the price of bread,
chiefly because of public sentiment
but IL is apparent that he has now.

brave enough to advance his price

face to face with that great mystery that
we call death.
The funeral rite is a natural sacrament
which has been observed, in some form, by
all people, from the earliest period of the
world s history, and we are assembled here
today, in accordance with an impulse, as
universal as the human race, to perform
the last earthly duty towards him who now
lies in the stiffness of death before us. In
the presence of death how beliefs and dog
mas wither and decay In every heart
there grows the sacred flower of eternal
hope. Immortality is a word that hope
has been whispering to love through all
the ages past.
Ignorant, anxious humanity have ever
stood upon the brink of the open grave and
peered into its darksome gloom, but it has
had to content itself with what consolation,
faith and hope and love could give.
For this faith and love and hope we are
not indebted to any priesthood or any
church or any book. 1t is born OF human
affection. and has ebbed and flowed in the
human heart all down the ages and is still
found where love kisses the lips OF death.

were not only impressed on our mind that
Sunday afternoon, but we thought 1T
strange that a Unitarian minister should
come to the platform and invite Prof.
Underwood to come to his church and lee
ture that evening, which he did. But the
Sunday following, the clergy of Quincy
made an effort to discredit Prof. Under
wood, but we were convinced they failed to
cover the trail of their worm of "miser-
able superstition.
Mr.. Underwood had showed up too
plainly their useless work to the cause of
humanity Up to that time, we had the
idea that those who "professed religion"
or in other words, those who "embraced
superstition," would be less likely to do
dishonest act than those who made no such
profession.
It was not long before we had occasion
to do little investigating for ourselves in
that line

How the protecting wings of religious
