A false idea of modesty which prevents the acquisition of know- ledge, and the carelessness which pre— vents an application of knowledge are the “most prolific causes of this kind of sickness. Thirty years ago,_know1edge of the prevalence of such disorders in- duced Dr. R. V. Pierce, than as now, chief consulting pli sician of the Invalid’s Hotel and Surgica Institute, at Buffalo, N.

This remedy is called Dr. Pierce‘s Favorite Prescription. That it accomplished the object for which it was intended is dproven by its remark- able and continue success for 30 years.

I The Cretan Insurgents Ignore the 0r- ders of the Admirals. GARRISON DRIVEN T0 SUDA. The “’arships Tried to Help Conipatriots on Shore, but Their Fire “'as Inef- fective—Christians In Full Con- trol Around Khania. Khania, Island of Crete, March 26.— The insurgents made a determined at- tack upon the Turkish fort at Malaxa, outside of Suda, ,today. During the night or very early morning the in- surgent forces were pushed forward until they occupied convenient posi- tions for attack and at about 6 a. m. their artillery opened fire. The pieces of the Christians were served with promptness and precision. The shells fell 'upon the roof of the fort and soon rendered it untenable. Eventually nothing remained to the Turks but extermination or evacuation. The Mussulmans preferred the latter and the garrison left the fort and be- gan a disorderly retreat upon Suda, relying upon the Turkish warships in the bay to save them from the Chris- tians. The warships of the sultan acted promptly, opening a badly judged fire upon the insurgents in order to cover the retreat of the Mussulmans. The Turkish shells fell either too short or far beyond the insurgent forces. The Christians pushed forward steadily, pressing hard upon the rear of the Turks and keeping up a continual skir- mish fire upon the Mussulmans, to whidi thelatter at times replied. The insurgents succeeded in pushing on as far as the village of Tsika‘laria, where they set fire to some Turkish houses. While this fighting was in progress a detachment of Turkish troops, being un- aware of the fact that the garrison'of the fort at Malaxa had evacuated it, made a sortie from Khania with a con- voy of provisions intended for the garri- son. From the route followed by the Turks nothing could be seen of the fighting in progress between Malaxa and Suda, and the Ottoman troops ad- vanced half way up to'the heights upon which the blockhouse of Keratidi is sit- uated. The Turks Stopped. But while the Turks were unaware of the insurgents’ doings, the latter had closely followed the‘movements of the Turkish column escorting the provision and ammunition trains. Near Keratidi the Turks were met by a body of insur- gents, who, from well selected positions, opened a fierce fire, stopping the ad- vancing troops= and the Turkish com- mander took up the best position possi- ble to protect the convoy. As this dis- patch is sent the fighting near Keratidi is still in progress. The Turkish garri- son at Malaxa lost heavily during the retreat from that place. The insurgent force is large and occu- pies all the heights in the vicinity of Khania as far as Perivolia, having cap- tured the last two Turkish fortresses. Only the fleets of the powers prevent the entire success of their cause. « The blockade is in progress all along the Cretan coasts, but has not prevented several small Greek vessels from land- ing ammunition and provisions. The Greek vessel which was accidentally captured by an Austrian gunboat, which put into a harbor owing to the severity of the weather, had on board 60 volunteers and a quantity of ammu- nition. Turkish Views of the Situation. Constantinople, March 26.~—The pol- icy of Great Britain foreshadowed yes- terday has assumed definite shape. The recent massacre of 100 Armenians at Tokat, the danger of further outbreaks in Anatolia, and the action of the porte in semiofiicially pointing out to the Turkish press and provincial officials that the blockade of the island of Crete by the fleets of the powers and the sup- port given to the Turkish forces by the foreign fleets was a' triumph for the policy of the sultan have had their ef- fect in clearly showing that such a pol- icy placed the Christiaus in Armenia in danger of extermination. It is semiof‘ficially stated here that the British admiral in Cretan waters has been notified not to send any war- ships of Great Britain to take part in the proposed blockade of the ports of Greece. At the same time, however, in order, apparently, to avoid an open rupture with the powers, Great Britain. will “acquiesce” in the blockade of the Greek ports. According to the reports in diplomatic circles here, the powers have already been notified to this ef— fect, and the withdrawal of Great Brit- ain from the blockade is the chief sub- ject discussed today 'in court and other circles. France May Follow Suit. There is also a certain amount of un— certainty as to the action of France in the premises, and it is saidthat France will in all probability follow the’exa'm- ple of Great Britain. France, it is ex- plained, could readily take this step without disturbing her accord with Russia and would not risk taking part in the blockade of Greece, without first consulting the chamber of deputies, whose approval of the coercion policy is regarded here as being far from cer- tain. It is stated also that Great Brit- ain has intimated to the powers that if Greece is blockaded steps should also be taken to blockade the principal Turkish ports. ' In regard to the proposed neutral zone on the frontier, it is said that Greece had already made a proposal to the Turkish governmentto this effect prior to Great Britain’s suggesting it to the powers, but that the porte consulted with the embassadors of Russia and Germany, who advised the Turkish government to decline the offer. The Turkish squadron, it is reported, has been ordered to cruise in the Aegean Sea. General Appleton’s House Burned. Peabody, Mass, March 26,—The hand- some summer residence of iYGeneral Francis P. Appleton of Governor “701-. cott’s staff was entirely destroyed by fire, together with valuable furniture and bric-a—brac. The loss will be about $12,000, partially covered by insurance. The Rev.

' 1. He \Vill Be at the Tit-rid of an Athletic ' Club In New York City. ' San Francisco, March 26,—Bob Fitz- simmons has found “an angel” in the person of a New York broker who pro- poses to establish the “retired cham- pion” as- instructor in a new athletic club in Gotham. Martin Julian said: "For months we have had plans under consideration, for the execution hinged chiefly on the result of the fight at Carson. The building we pr0pose to occupy is a five story structure in the business center of New York and occu- pies a whole block, though a small one. There is associated with us a certain rich broker of New York who is fond of sports, and besides him only the owner of the building, Fitzsimmons and my- self knew of our plans. We propose to give instructions in all sorts of athletic sports to the best claSS of yOung men. The place will be fitted up -very hand- somely with all of the luxuries and con- veniences of a first class club. It will be our purpose to have from time to time such contests and exhibitions of athletic skill as may be interesting to the members of the club, and We shall offer such inducements in the way of purses as will secure for us the best attractions to be had. Nothing, howev- er, will be doue that will in any way conflict with the law. By fall the building will be ready for use. Fencing, rowing, riding, boxing and every other kind of athletic sport will be taught. There will be magnificent baths and luxurious clubrooms. “We will stay here for a short time before starting cast. Arrangements have been made to give an exhibition in each of the principal cities between here and New York. Of course Fitzsim- mons will be the chief instructor in the club.” Grant May Go to Austria. New York. March 2G.—Commissioner Grant of the police board found in his mail today a letter from a senator con- gratulating him on his receival of his “old place.” As Colonel Grant was once minister to Austria and a Washington dispatch today says that he is to be named minister to Austria by President McKinley this letter of congratulation would seem to come as a confirmation of the commissioner’s coming appoint- ment. Hunters Probably Drowned. Saginaw, Mich, March 26.—VV. L. Ireland, Bert Eldred and Chester Slight of Chesaning started cu a hunting and fishing expedition in a boat dowri the Shiawassee river, expecting to float to Saginaw. The rivers are all overflowed and 'the men, ncw' having been heard from, it is believed that all were drowned. “’heat and Rye Killed. Appleton, “35., March 26.—Farmers report that practically all of the winter wheat and rye of Outagamie county has been killed during the last winter by a lack of snow to protect the grain during the cold months. At least three- quss- ers of the entire wheat and rye ore}. of the county has been destroyed. Connery Is Vicar General. Bt""£alo, March 26.—Rev. Father Mi- chael Connery, rector of St. Columbkill’s church of Buffalo, has been appointed vicar general of this diocese by Bishop James E. Quigley. His appointment is announced in today’s issue of The Cath- olic Union and Times, the official organ of the diocese. . This Cuts Ice.
