The Yale Expositor. JL A. Menziis, PublUher. TALE, MICH Falsehood may have its hour, but it has no future. Never say die until you are dead, and then it is n use, bo let it alone. There Is such a thing as having great influence without having great talent. .One of the hardest lessons to learn la that we are made out of the same kind of clay as other folks. When it comes to remembering things he is trying to forget, every man's memo" s phenomenal. It is impossible to discourage the man who has learned in whatsoever condition he finds himself therewith to be content. Miss Mush, who is lecturing in the east on the best method of shoe-lacing, is perhaps stringing her sisters with mealy-mouthed talk. The telegraph Informs us that all Londoners are gratified at the appoint ment of their fellow citizen, Henry White, to be secretary f the Ameri can embassy. When Mrs. Philpot was drawn as a luror In Chicago the other day she sail she would rather not serve. Ti the new woman to be depended upon when she is already evading the duties of a good citizen? Widow Weed, who wishes to be con sul, is rich. While we have so many worthy widowers who are not rich, Jt would scarcely be good policy for Mr McKinley to be sending our rich wid ows out of the country, to be won, perhaps, by foreigners, A favorite place for osculatory ex ploits with the Topeka belles and beaux is on top of the dome of the State House. On this airy summit, 230 feet above the earth, It is the delight of the amorous swain to take his sweetheart and far away from the maddIngcrowd's ignoble strife kiss Tier to his heart's content, with none to mo lest or make him afraid. Tho ribald small boy and the derisive young man, although armed with powerful field glasses, are as If they were not. All criminologists agree that indi rect suggestion is one of the surest ways of inciting to crime; and an emi nent French writer has published a ; volume on the "Contagion of Murder, in which he traces cases of homicidal mania induced by pictures of assassi nation. The regular reader of many .modern newspapers might Imagine that tho world is much worse than it used to be. This would be a mistake. The difference Is not only that the newspa pers exaggerate, and sometimes Invent details of crime, but that the facilities for collecting news are so much bet ter than formrrlv thai everything is reported. There is no part of the news-1 papers of the .day which can be morej profitably skipped than the detailed i narratives ox crime; ana newspapers which make a specialty of the evil there is in the world should not be tak en into any home. As Instancing the antagonistic atti tude of Austria to all American arti cles, Consul-General Max Judd, at VI , enna, calls the attention of the State Department to an intended tariff vt tas ' uTe preventing further importation of glucoso into Austria-Hungary. All producers of glucose in Austria have formed a trust. The market price of syrup has been made by them 21 florins ($8.44) pr 100 kilograms (220.46 pounds). This price has enabled Am erican porducers to sell their syrup, which is even better In Quality, at a lower figure. The trust, seeing them selves undersold, have now urged the government to assist them, and have succeeded in the effort. The duty on glucose or syrup has been six florins in gold (J2.99) on 100 kilograms (220.46 pounds). A new tariff, to go into effect January 1, has now been published, making the duty IS florins in gold ($7.23). "This rate," says the consul general, is on glucose from all coun tries, but it is aimed only against the United States, for it la only with syrup from our country that the syrup trust (home producers) cannot compete. American syrup is sold, landed In Ham burg, per 100 kilograms at 1Z.S9 marks ($2.97). The Import duty for Aus tria being also six, florins in gold ($2.99) and freight from Hamburg to Austria amounting to about one florin, makes the entire cost of 100 kilograms . of American syrup Landed in Austria about $6.40 against tho trust price of eyrup of 21 florins ($8.44). This new duty will. at once shut us out from further sale of syrup. It has been this way with other articles for which Americans found a foreign market. If it was not a tariff measure, some other obstacles have crippled their efforts to maintain the trade." Prof. Thomas Chamberlln has Just declared in a lecture that science fur nishes no positive proof of a here after, and that, on the other hand, it docs cot disprove the idea of a future life. We shall, therefore, b undr the necessity of looking in some other direction than science for what we are to know of our future.

Judge Padg ham then took the case from tho jury and sentenced Holmes to pay a fine of 41, (KM). This was paid and Holmes was ct free. At Holmes first trial he was convict ed and sentenced to prison for life. A new trial was ordered by the supreme court on a -writ of rror. His aged father has spent his fortune to fAve the boy. The result of the trial causes much dissatisfaction at Grand Rapids Burglar at Agrlcaltral College. Shortly after 11 p. in. tho vault iu the secretary's otlice, at the Agricult ural college, was blown open. The burglars tuad rich haul, securing 8?,000 in cash tielonglng to the college. $100 which the 1oardiug clubs had on deposit, and 20 in postofiice money, the college postofUce beiug located in the library building. The large amount of college money on hand is due to the fact that the new term opened but a feiv days ago, and stu dents have beeu paying their tuition. The explosion awakened many of the college population, and the rob lery was discovered soon after it took place, but the burglars escaped. Oreana Connty Teara Scorched. The village of New Kra.

Hand of Hrlganda Cross the Frontier of Macedonia Turkish Troops Will Muta Forward lu Fore to Repel the Attack llritlsh Ship for Malta. Athens. April 12. Dispatches re ceived here from Larlssa give details of the invasion of Macedonia by a force of irregular Greek troops. Three thousand men. It is an nounced, crossed the frontier Wednes day, the day after the celebration of the anniversary of the declaration of Greek Independence In 1821. Tuesday, the day of the celebration, was looKeu upon as likely to be the day the Greeks would select for opening hos tilities; but Tuesday lu Greece is con sidered an unlucky day upon which to embark upon any undertaking or ira portance, and so the crossing of the frontier was postponed until Wednes day. The Greeks' expeditionary force is commanded by ex-officers and ex-non- ccmmlssloned officers of the regular army of Greece and Includes the band of Italian volunteers commanded by CoL Cinriani. The so-called Insurgents are all well armed and have been equipped at the expense of the Ethnike Hetalra. the famous and powerful Greek secret society, which has been the root and branch of the present crisis, practically controlling the coun try. The Greek flags were solumnly in trusted to the charge of the insurgents and good arrangements have been made for forwarding food and other supplies to the expeditionary force. The news of the Invasion has caused the most Intense excitement here. A dispatch from Arta, dated at 11 o'clock last night, announces that Admiral Kriesis has assumed command of the Greek squadron in the Gulf of Ambra- cla. hoisting his flag on board the Iron clad Spezia. He has had an import ant conference with Admiral Manos. The telegraph line between here'and Janlna. the headquarters of the Turk ish army stationed there to meet a pos sible advance of the Greeks from Ar ta. has been cut. but service continues via Monsatarl. The Greek Irregulars crossed the frontier in the night time and surprised and burned four Turk ish outpost stations. The Turkish troops are advancing toward the point of attack from Dlska- t ta. Isipilo and Metzovo. The villagers of Isipilo say they have heard the firing of big guns and sup pose that the Turks are engaged with the Greeks. Edhem Pasha again promptly wired to Constantinople for instructions Ita-DDears that Greece a few days ago warned the Turkish authorities that insurgent bands would probably at tempt to cross the frontier and that the authorities could not stop them. but it Is believed hero that so large a body of Insurgents could not have ad vanced Into Turkish territory with out the knowledge of the Greek gov ernment. MAY 1NVADK UREF.CK. TorkUh Soldlera Facer to Make an Advance. Elassona, April 12. Edhem Pasha, the commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, has received orders from Con stantinople to cross the frontier of Greece with his forces should it be proved that Greek regular troops are among the Invaders. The Turkish troops continue advancing against the invaders, who will shortly find them selves between three fires. Turk Hold War Council. London. April 12. A dispatch to the Times from Elassona says that at 10 o'clock last night a Turkish council of war was in session and it was consid ered probable that the Turks would immediately take the offensive.

Splendid Opportunities for American Manufacturers. Washington, April 12. Many oppor tunities for American manufacturers to Bell machinery and other wares in Chi na are pointed out from time to time by the United States consuls in their reports to the state department. These are signs of the great indus trial revolution that has overtaken the celestial empire as a result of its awakening by the Japanese war. A mining company Is taking out 2, 000 tons of coal daily, and as extensive enlargements of the plant are to be made, there is a splendid opportunity for American manufacturers of mining machinery to place their goods. Mr. Read, our consul, gives notice that as the result of several big fires, tho Tien Tsln authorities are consider ing the question of procuring fire en gines for the British concession and American price lists might be of serv ice. For tha Transvaal War. London, April 12. There are indica tions that the British preparations ngalnst the Trausvaal multiply In many directions.

The Senators started In to pla circus the first thing. The desk of Senator Thompson, of ayne, was elaborately decorated with flowers and as he took his seat he was applauded presumably for his part in lielpiug to elect Mavor Maybury, or Detroit, anu thus turn down Gov. Pingree. I hen a resolution was seut to the clerk a desk praying that-'the anniversary of the spring election be a perpetual holiday to be known as Maybury day. An other resolution requested the ptvsi dent of the Senate to recognize Mr. Thompson's "acute uttack of joyous exuberance contracted on account or the late election In the city of Detroit, and appoint him chairman of the com inlttee if the whole for the afternoon session, and then excuse him from act ive duty for the remainder of the week." The Senate resembled a coun try school room during recess as Mr. Thompson was Installed in the chair aud then they settled down a little and agreed to a bill to allow the catch ing of chubs and minnows with nets in lies Cheneaux channel. During the day the Senate passed the following bills: Providing that applicants do not have to study two years in an attor ney's office to become eligible to admis sion to the bai : providing a salary of $300 for the treasurer of the board of control of the home for feeble-minded The House spent almost the tnt'ueda in committee of the whole and agreed to several measures, among the most Important being the Green inheritance tax bill which provides a tax of 5 per cent upon the market value or all prop erty, personal, and real, over Sj.UOO in amount, bequeathed by will, whether bv resident or non-resident of the state, or transferred in contemplation of death, except in cases where the oronertv eoes to father, mother, lius band. wife, child, brother, sister, wire or widow of a son or husband of n daughter, in which case no tax is as sessed upon the Inheritance. The pro bate ludsre is made arbiter in u 11 cases The House passed the following: Au thorizing the tillage of Sand lleach to Issue bonds for water works; empow ering judges of probate in certain cases to license executors, adminis trators and guardians to borrow money bv mortgaging or pledging the estates of deceased persons for the pur pose of paying debts, legacies, making repairs to or completing buildings; pro viding for the appointment of guard ians for persons who are naoituai drunkards bv the use of liuuor. narcot ics or noxious drugs, and permitting superintendents of the poor, supervis ors oa aldermen to make complaints of such to the probate judge: providing that in bigamy eases husband and wife can testify without consent of each other. There was a three hours' fight in the House over the Molster anti-convict labor bill and it was defeated, by till after the enacting clause being struck out. The. title was tabled, however. and the bill may come up airaln. Tho bill provided that all prison- labor con tracts be annulled; that the prisoners J be employed in the manufacture of j ItrilCli; U-U III Hie ij ,inv.vuti....-, that only hand and root maciunery oe used by prisoners and that prisoners sentenced for less than lite might ue used in working on roads at the re ouest of the boards of supervisors I countersigned by the governor, no f more than 20 convicts to be employed I by any one county. At times the fight was sensational. Heps. Moore and Atkinson arraigned the wardens of the various state institutions severely for lobbying against the measure. Bills '. passed by the Hou& were only of local importance. The Senate took favor able action on the following bills: For the bonding of Sand Beach for a water works plant; changing the name of the Michigan mining school to "Michigan College of Mines," and fixing the tui tion at 510 per year for Michigan stu dents and $25 per year for non-residents; amending the village Incorpora ; tlon act by bringing all villages under ' the general tax law relative to the sale and redemption of land lor ueiinqueni taxes. Not being satisGed with knocking out all legislation which directly af fected railroads the legislature is now trying to prevent the construction of electric railways where they will com nete with steam railroads. After hav ing passed five bills which had for their object the authorization of the granting of the right of way for a sys tem of electric road from Detroit, via Port Huron and Lexington, to Bay Citv. with a spur starting from the main line at Elmer and running north east to Sand Beach, the Senate tried to recall thera from the House for the purpose of reconsideration. Senator Thompson, of Wayne, was nt the hot torn of this move and succeeded in hav Ing the resolution recalling them pushed through, i our of the bills had been returned to the Senate before their friends in the House saw their danger and then they induced the House ' to refuse to return the fifth. Senator Thompson had the bills refer red to the railroad committee where they will be smothered. The House killed Donovan's bill providing for locking prisoners In county jails In separate cells. The Lusk-Gordon home rule bill was made the special order of the House for April 15. Bep. Kerr who was re-elected in the Second Sagi naw district at the recent election was sworn in. Bills passed by the House: Amending the law for the prevention of the spread of disease among fruit trees; providing that complain! for truancy may made by meraliers of the. police force in cities: the Grocn inher itance tax bill; amending tho la.v for the organization of Wiiefkiary socie ties so as to prevent the usa of mortu ary, emergency or reserve funds for the maintenance of rooms for so cial purposes: providing for stamp ing fruit package showing Ihe fraction of a bushel which they contain; providing for icgnlntin.; the marking of packages of high explosives. After receiving the report of the special committee the Housj settled down anil did considerable work. Kep. Molster succeeded in securing the pass age of his bill providing for th brand ing of all prison-made goods, umer bills passed by the House: rrolinm.ng the ail u Herat ion of vinegar; providing for police matrons In cities of 10.000 population and over; precluding the uppointment of unyone as administra tor of the estate of a deceased incom petent person who has been tire guard- Ian of the deceased within a year or the demise, unless such administrator be an heir; permitting surtieson bonds In the probate court to appear in oppo sition to the allowance or accounts:. permitting judge of probate to Im prison persons who may ivfuse to tes tify us to property nuppossd to be Illegally concealed; permitting record of court tlecisions as land titles in counties where lands affected by such decisions are located; providing f notification of foreign consuls by , pro bate judge In eases of estates left to residents of foreign countries; inakinir a sale of property forcity taxes conditioned upon the payment of state tax liens; repealing the law whereoy it is provided that the written consent of plank road companies must be se cured before plank road laws are amended; requiring a MpuIar vote in townships before plank road franchises are granted, and making the tax per cent, on gross instead of 5 per ueut, on net receipts. House KaUroad Committee's Report. The work of the special railroad in vestigating committee of the Mich igan house of representatives has been finished and a report rendered embodying the results of the investi gation, covering a period of 45 days. The committee neld but few meytmgs and subpoenaed no witnesses, all the testlmomy being given voluntarily. The report says that whik some abuses have been found In the way of exces sive freight charges, the tendency has been to distribute them around to all shippers ulike. On the whole, freight charges in Michigan are lower than in any other state. The committee de clined to make any deductions as to whether rates are excessive, because of the large amount of labor, skill and time required to make an intelligent study of the question. The cotnmittte makes six recommendations as follows: That railroad companies adopt a system vhereb3" claims against them may more quickly adjusted and paid; that the railroad receiving freight ba made responsible for any loss or damage sus tained before Its delivery at destina tion: that the law to be to amende J as to clearlv deliue what is meant by un lawful discriminations, and fixing a penalty for its violation; that switch ing 1h iiiori! definitely defined, una the changes fixed by law; that a unifona shipping bill be used throughout the state, showing quantity, rate and t-Iasf-: that the principles at the interstate commerce law be applied to traffic ia the state.
