It is not safe to bet on what you "feel in your -bones" unless you bet on rheumatism. The Buffalo Times says: "Heliedor Wojciechowski made a motion for a new trial." He should make one for a new name. The fact that the oldest man in the United States is in a poor-house is not encouraging to those who would go be yond the biblical three score and ten. The archbishop of Canterbury will personally deliver into the hands o' Mr. Bayard, on the latter's return to liondon, the log of the Mayflower which the Consistorial Court recently decided to present to the United States. The old canal which was constructed many years ago between Tampico and Tuxpan, Mexico, at great expense, is to be cleared and dredged and opened for traffic. An American company has a concession for operating the enterprise. The canal passes though the country rich in dye woods and native tropical products, which will be taken in boats to Tampico and exported to the United States and Europe.

The wander ing bands of Arabs along the shores of the Jordan have been surprised and horrified at the intrusion of a busy lit tle steamboat upon that historic stream.

Mr. Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, has a bible class in a Washington Sunday school. A former secretary of state, Mr. John W. Foster, also teaches in that school. The highest intellect can find an ex haustless opportunity for acquisition in the word of God, and the largest practical ability can have full scope in expounding the books that are a revelation of the divine will. It is en tirely reasonable to say that the bible is studied by more people and in a wiser way than ever before. Legislation for the restriction of the sale of cigarettes has generally proved ineffective but as a result of a city or dinance recently passed in Chicago, by which retail dealers in cigarettes are obliged to take out a license costing pne xmdxed. .dollars, the. number 6f places where they may be bought has fallen from five thousand to about one hun dred. The margin of profit upon cigar ettes is so small that the smaller deal ers cannot afford to purchase the li cense. This is not an ideal way to combat the cigarette evil, but expe rience seems to prove it the most ef fective yet devised. Through the liberality of the Postal Union, or through some other favoring circumstances, a king in dire want of a postage stamp has been able to com- I municate with a distant manufactur ing concern. King Quansah, of Tan tree, which is somewhere in Africa, wrote to a cordage company in Massa chusetts, inquiring as to the cost of Borne of its wares, and excused himself for neglecting to put on a stamp on the ground that he was in a hurry. Seeing that he is a king, the excuse was ac cepted, but probably the goods will not be forwarded until it is known whether his haste will prevent him from promptly remitting.

A 50 per cent advance on account of the prospects for an unusu ally short crop has occurred within the past few days, and prices are still ris ing. This is the first rise in the market since the dissolution of the big trust Bix months ago.

Athens, May 12.The recall of the forces from Crete has been received with resignation by the public.

Some One Blundered. London, May 12.The Athens cor respondent of the Daily Chronicle says: "The real and only cause of the Greek retreat to Pharsalos was the blunder of one who mistook the retreat of the enemy for a forward movement designed to outflank the Greeks, and therefore ordered a hasty retreat.

The state of ths Turkish army at the mo ment was simply pitiful, and terror reigned at the Yildiz Kiosk." Abandoned by the Greeks.

London, May 12.The Dally Mail's correspondent at Volo says: "From the first day of the war Crown Prince Constantine, In his capacity of chief censor, blocked all the news which the English correspondents sent from the scene of hostilities. This explains the inaccuracy obvious in so many cases. The crown prince, who understands English perfectly, altered the news so as to make it favorable to himself. For instance: I a telegram to a New York newspaper describing the 'cold' recetf tlcai given him at Larissa, the prince changed it to 'enthusiastic' reception. When the correspondents went to him in a body and protested vigorously, he answered evasively. The Greek dis aster was due primarily to Constantine himself. He destroyed the morale of the army by ordering the evacuation of Kurtsiovali and the retreat of the Tyrnavos, and then he ran away in a shameful flight from Larissa, when the disgraceful scene was witnessed of a Greek colonel shrieking with ter ror. All cursed Constantine for de serting them, though there were other reasons for the disasters which fol lowed, such as lack of discipline, the lnsutficiency-of officers and a general maladministration of the non-com batant branches of the service." Unlet at Volo. Larissa. May 12.The Greek fleet has left Volo but the French, Italian and British guardships remain. The town is quiet and has been occupied by the Turkish troops.

Coolness ot the Ship's Officers* Prevents Further Fatalities. New York, May 10.

The dead were thirteen steerage pas sengers and three of the crew, who eueeumbed to a terrible fire which oc f-uired off the Delaware capes. The horror of the story can hardly be told at present. Those who are dead were penned up below decks, and although frantic efforts were made by the of ficers to save them, the fire had' gained such headway betore the danger was discovered that all escape was cut off. The steampr carried in her cargo many bales of cotton, it i*- not certain how the fire originated, but when it was discovered it burst forth with such fury that it was impossible to reach the steerage. Even then the steerage passengers apparently were unmindful of the danger, else the smoke and flames had not reached them. The saloon passengers were first aroused, and in such a manner as to occasion little alarm. When it be ame apparent that the fire had cut off the steerage the captain and hi* men poured great quantities of water down the ventilator and the most frantic efforts were made for the es cape of those penned up. Eight of the steerage passengers made their escape. FAREWELL, TO BAYARD. English "Speed the Parting Guest" With Enthusiasm.
