Capture of
Atzerot.

George A. Atzerot, sometimes known
as Port Tobacco and one of Booths
accomplices. who was arrested yester-
county, Md, by Capt. Townsends COM
pany of the LIST Delaware Cavalry, ar
rived here last night in a special car
attached to the regular 10 O'Clock
train. The authorities here having been
informed by telegraph of the arrest of
Atzerot, Col. Ingraham, Col. Ludding-
ton and Marshal Murray of New York,
with a strong military force were in at
tendance at the railroad station. and i'm
mediately upon the arrival of the train
a guard was placed at every door of
the passenger cars to prevent the pas
sengers from leaving the cars until the
of safety. This precaution was taken
to avoid any tumult by the fact of his
arrival being divulged. Atzerot was
then taken quietly from the train and
placed in an omnibus, which had been
seized by the military authorities for
the purpose, and driven rapidly to
safe place of confinement. AS soon as
the passengers were allowed to leave
the train and it became known that the
prisoner had arrived here the news
snread rapidly, and In very short
time an immense crowd of persons had
assembled at Col. Ingraham's Office in
there, but In this they were disappoint-
ed. While on the way Atzerot main
famed a sullen silence and endeavored
~ assume an air Of indifference. He
was well dressed and appears to have
made no efforts to conceal his identity
He has thoroughly bad face and re-
pulsive manner.

No Aspirations for
Constantinople.

journals had pretended that he wished
to wave before the people the chimera
of the Greek flag floating over Con-
stantinople. He had also said to the
people that Greece should enter Con-
stantinople without any pretention of
establishing itself there, for fine dreams
are superfiuous when they are unreal
liable. The field Of compensations was
sufficiently large without aspiring to
the domination Of the Bosporus.
Subsequently an intimate friend of
NJ. Venizelos completed the Information
obtained by the correspondent of the
Corriere.
From the commencement Of the war
the triple entente had twice requested
Greece to send soldiers to aid her ally,
Serbia Bulgaria's attitude prevent
ed it. When the attack on the Darda-
nelles was undertaken the triple en-
tente, unwilling to expose themselves
to third refusal, requested their Of
icials at Athens to learn il the king
was disposed to interfere.
The council of the crown was con-
voked and NJ. Venizelos exposed his
program: Furnish $4,000 men to the
allies against Turkey; In exchange M
Venizelos would obtain the vilayet of
that If Greece furnished 5000 it would
not be possible to defend the frontier
against a Turco-Bulgar attack. NJ
Venizelos reduced the number to $4,000
men. plus the entire Greek fleet and a
naval base.
That proposition was not acceptable.
The presence of Greeks among the
troops entering Constantinople would
displease Russia. NJ. Venizelos replied
there was nothing to fear on that score
if Greece was with France and Eng
land. He was then asked If compensa-
tons would be guaranteed in Asia Mi
nor. NJ. Venizelos recalled that recent
ly on two occasions he had employed
all the forces Of the kingdom without
compensation and that twice he OBJ
tanned more than he desired.
Then it was objected anew that II he
obtained the vilayet of Smyrna it would
be impossible to defend it against the
Turks. To this NJ. Venezelos replied
that IL the allies were victorious Greece
would not be alone in Asia Minor; she
would be neighbor to Russia and Italy,
with whom Greece should always act
in accord, for the three would have
equal interests in aiding one another
against the Turk.

carrier just as are the fly and the mos
quito. Besides this, Mr.. Penney in sup
port of his bill points to the harm the
rat does to everybody and everything
with which he comes in contact. The rat
robs the granary as well as the grain in
the field, and starts fires-well. every
one knows the innumerable sins of
which the rat is guilty. Government re.
ports show that the rat caused $4,000.
900 in damage in the United States last
year.
The newspapers all over Michigan
have rallied to the Penney BILL all being
a unit in declaring there is not single
reason that can be advanced why the
pest should be allowed to exist. that is,
all except the township clerks who will
be compelled to take the toll of the
dead.
Michigan was prone to laugh when
Mr.. Penney first introduced his rat bill.
but the newspaper propaganda soon
brought about change In sentiment and
awakened the public to the seriousness
of the rat menace. when these facts were
brought to their attention:
Rats are about the most expensive and
the most unnecessary pest in civilization.
There's hardly any kind Of creature
we wouldn't be better on without.
Rats consume yearly millions upon
chandise: many buildings are destroyed
by fre on account of them; the number
OF rats in any community is limited only
by the food supply and the nesting OPP
portunities.
Dreadful diseases are due to rats.
The bubonic plague is first and fore
most q rat disease. Rats are subject to
leprosy and cancer; and they harbor
many parasites which they may convey
to humankind.
Especially there IL trichinosis-a par.

The rats become infected by eating

And then human beings become In
