A party of twenty-six Washington
Greeks will leave this city tonight fol
New York, from where they will sal
within few days to join the Grecian
army in the war against Turkey. In
Guided in the party are a number OF
Greeks who have become American citi-
zens, but who are answering the call to
arms and will fight for their native land.
Some of these American Greeks are men,
bers of the District National Guard. and
have for several months been learning
the art of war according to American
tactics
At the present time none but the young
Greeks are desired as volunteers, al
though it is stated that. should the ne
cessity arise, the older men domiciled in
the United States, who are reservists,
will be called back to aid in the struggle
against the armies of the sultan.
Members of the Party.
In the party which will leave tonight
are the following:
HI. Sambus, G. Calanois. B. Malenitis,
A BrOkOs, A. Cremidas, NJ. Anastos, A.

every case the returning Hellenes declare
that at the close Of the war they will re-
turn to America. Many of them leave
established businesses in Washington and
other cities of the United States and are
making actual sacrifices by returning to
Greece.

A Shave in China.

The greatest treat, which only give
on special occasions, is a midday shave
in public! In the early morning a
Chinese inn is very dark, and at night
bed soon claims one. I select a table
at the street front (the whole front is
formed of movable doors, which are
entirely taken away during the day.,
and, provided with the necessaries,
commence operations. Fifty or sixty
people stand around in ranks, the in
nermost circles consisting Of children
and the outer rings of men, and moth
ers with their babies. Not word is
uttered, all eyes are fixed on the shay
ing brush as the soap is lathered on
the face, and then on the razor as the
stubble falls. The Chinese never shave
themselves, and possibly to see a man
handling razor on himself may sug-
gest that he Is about to commit "hara-
kiri" in their village.-Dr. Louis Byrde
in Sunday at Home.

WONDERFUL SURGICAL OPER ALTON PLANNED AT ATLANT.
AFTER EXECUTION OF WIFE SLAYER CLAY.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. a.
Within few minutes after Rob
ert l.. Clay takes his farewell look
at earthly things and drops at the
end of the hangman's rope, John
Cashin, blind for years, hopes to
see.
Clay lies in the death cell,
awaiting execution for the muir
der of his wife. His eyes are as
good as man could wish for, al
though his lawyers and friends
say they are the eyes of mad
man. But the law has decreed
that, mad or sane, they must close
SO far as their use by Clay is con-
cerned.
On a street corner not far away
John Cashin sells papers. Re-
Gently his customers have noticed
new light in his face. He has
never seen the people who buy
his papers and drop their pennies
in a cup near him, but soon he
hopes to see them. And not only
the living beings around him, but
the sunshine, the trees and flow
ers, the blind man hopes to see.
How? Through. the eyes of the
murderer, Robert l.. Clay!
Until lately Cashin never ex-
pected to be able to see again.
But one day a friend read to him
of the sentencing of Clay. A sud-
den wave of thought swept over
the blind. man. He had heard OF
wonderful operations performed
by surgeons, of bones and organs
transplanted, and he saw with
[sightless eyes a wonderful opera
ton. He,-hurried to the office of
DR.. ]. NJ Ellis.
Doctor" the blind man said,
"when they hang Clay, why
couldn't get his eyes?''
DR.. Ellis was astonished. "What
do you mean?" he asked.
II mean that when Clay dies
his eyes be taken out and be put
in place of mine"
DR.. Ellis was finally persuaded
to favor the strange request. He
decided if the optic nerves of the
blind man were still serviceable
after so many years Of disuse, a
formed. A preliminary examina-
tion of the opic nerve Is being
made by DR.. Phinizy Calhoun, a
noted oculst.
When Clay's body falls through
the trap door of the gallows, his
eyes will be removed before the
body is taken from the death
chamber. They will be placed In
warm saline solution and rushed
to a hospital. where Cashin will

JACK DENISE LET
ORDERS GO AND
SAVED SIX LIVES

which the tail of the train had
just disappeared, Jack Denise, a
brakeman, heard the train slow
down and stop. He waited and
listened. 1t did not start again.
Denise had orders. They didn't
call him into the tunnel and it Is
an offense which may cost train
man his job to break orders. He
hesitated but moment. Then
tying his handkerchief about his
nose, he seized his lantern and
darted into the black death bore.
He plodded right through to
the engines, the gas and smoke
penetrating through his handker-
chief down onto his lungs, where
1t hit and stung like acid.
He crawled into the cab of the
rear engine where the three men
lay In a heap. Gathering them one
by one into his arms he carried
them to the cab Of the first en-
gine. The same he did with those
in engine No. 2.
AhOh uc uIoh0 OIuSIS aga
He pulled open the throttle of
the head engine and shot ahead
towards daylight and fresh air.
Six men lay about leaning fam
tastically against the wall of the
cab, their faces blackened with
the smoke, their eyes closed, a
look of agony on every counten-
ance.
Half way to the eastern end,
Denise saw the lights of rescue
party coming in. He pulled
down. A lantern swinging in
the blackness, said, Go ahead. I"
Denise and his engine thunder
ed by and the man in the cab saw
Larry O'Toole, a conductor, and
a following of half score of rail-
road officials and Italians. This
party went on to the stalled train
in search Of more men and
brought out the cars.
Denise reached the east portal.
He was weak and almost suffocat-
ed. He saw but dimly and his
nanu, nearly palsied, grasped the
lever, gave it a pull, and the en-
gine stopped. Denise fell from
the engineers seat headIong
among the men whom he had
brought to safety.
Kind hands bore the seven men
from the cab. Those who knew
how to induce artificial respira-
tion taught other and the work Of
bringing the men back to life be-
gan. One by one they opened
their eyes. Denise was the last
to regain consciousness, and when
his eyes opened he saw standing
about him those whom he had
saved.
One at a time they grasped his
hand. There were tears In the
eyes of most Of that party ON the
mountain.
Denise didn't lose his Job. Of
ficials say of the rescue that It
was an act Of finest. bravery,

SALESMAN ROBBED
In A HOTEL

While dressing in his room at
the Donnelly hotel this morning,
w. S. Shain, travelling representa-
tive of an Oakland wholesale

night thief had entered his room
and carefully cleaned his pockets
of border book, checks and money.
"A chain of peculiar circum-
stances led Detective Milone 10

tell B. Esplund, to be the thief.
Esplund was searched at the
station. In his pockets were
found key, which turned out to
bel that of Shain's room, and a
$50 gold piece. A revolver was
taken from his hip pocket. Deep

When Miss Vida Bean, a school

other articles taken from bureau

A great train -crawled up the
grade, pulled by three giant en-
gines, and poked its nose into
Stampede tunnel. 1t was an eX-
ira freight bound east.
To go through Stampede tunnel
at any time is not the most pleas
ant experience for the trainmen.
But conditions yesterday made it
positively dangerous. There was
no wind to clear the great bore of
gas and smoke.
For a mile and half through
the pitchy blaekness, the three en-
gines toiled, filling the ears of the
firemen and engineers with deaf
ening roars and their eyes and
noses with smoke.
Suddenly there was a shrek,
then a whistling that died gradu-
ally away, and the train came to
standstill. An air brake had
broken.
A brakeman, his lantern pierre
ing a tiny hole through the black
ness, leaped down from the rear
engine and darted back along the
string of cars. He found the
break i'm the thin hose that is the
life artery of the train, and pIac-
Ing his lantern down between the
rails began the task of mending
the puncture.
The three engines belched their
smoke into the tunel. The air be-
came thicker. the blackness dark
er, and the deadening gases were
forced down low along the floor
of the great hole. They caught
at the brakeman's lungs and he
sprawled face downward beside
his lantern.
In the engines they were wait
ing for his signal to 20 ahead.
They We're suffering,t too, the gas
biting at their lungs. The signal
did not come.
One of the firemen, suspecting
the truth, swung down from the
cab and hurried back to where
the brakeman lay as IL dead. Lift
ing the form to his shoulders he
Hried It forward to the engine,
iied to. the engineer for assist
m ece, and together they landed it
on the flsor of the cab.
Then the fireman toppled over.
While trying to bring him back to
consciousness, the engineer, too,
overcome by gas, fell prostrate
across the bodies of the other
two. The same thing happened
In the other engines.
