l' l l x. ‘ , When a young c uple runs away to get married half the world says: “ How Romantic!” the other half says: “ How sillyl.” But you can‘t tell either way until the “ honey-moon " is over. \Vhen this young couple get settled down to the regular hum-drum of life, they’ll manage all right and find solid happiness in any case, if they have good hearts and sound health. All depends on that. . It’s wonderful hownnuch health has to do with married happiness. Sickness taf- fects the temper. .You can’t be happy nor make others happy if you’re ailing. When you find yourself irritable, easily worried, beginning to “run-down” it‘s because your blood is getting or. You need richer blood and more 0 it. Your blood-making organs need to be vitalized by Dr. Pierce’s Colden Medical Discov- ery. It imparts new power to produce an abundance of the healthy, red corpusa cles, and 'ves you a fresh supply of ure, rich lood. It’s a blood-creator; it is for everyone whose blood is impure or in a poor, “ run-down ” condition. It prevents the germs of disease from get- ting a hold on your system. Even after disease is settled on you, it is driven out by the blood-creating properties of the “Discovery.” It is a perfect cure for general and nervous debility, catarrh, . malaria, eczema, ervsipelas, scrofula and every form of bload -disease. It is’nt called a consumption-cure but even cou- sumption,—4which has its roots in the blood—is driven out by‘ the “Golden Medical Discovery” if taken in time. The “Discovery ” is the prescription of one of the most eminent physicians . and medical writers in this country. BROTHER;; IMPROVED sen AND EIN- ERAL WATERS.

Constantinople Does Not Relish the 11125- itation of the Powers About. Coerc- ing Greece—Trouble \Vith Brig- ands—A New Danger. . Constantinople, April 10.—The war preparations throughout the Turkish empire continue to be steadily pressed. A very unfavorable View is taken here of the failure of the powers to coerce Greece. The Turkish war party is bring- ing pressure to bear upon the Turkish government, one of the results of which is the sending by the porte of the cir- culars of the Turkish representatives abroad setting forth Turkey’s growing impatience at the prolongation of the crisis, which is pressing heavily upon an already embarrassed exchequer. The belief prevails here that the pow- ers are losing their hold over the course of events and that the concert of the powers is a failure. A new danger has arisen through the circulation in Constantinople and through the provinces of a pamphlet reciting the alleged Christian atrocities on Mussul- mans in Crete and elsewhere. This is so inilaming the Turks against the Greeks that the Hellenic ministry has drawn the attention of the ports to the matter. The government has promised to take the measures necessary to pre- vent dutbreaks upon the part of the populace. Activity In Greece. Larissa, Greece, April 10.—Notwith- standing the official intelligence re- ceived here yesterday, saying that the powers have arranged to settle the Cre- tan question by a plebiscite of the is— land, there is no stoppage of the war preparations. Troops are being for- warded daily to the frontier, and the advance posts are being strengthened. The transport arrangements are admi- rable, the troops are full of enthusiasm, and they are splendidly equipped. It is rumored here that three bands of insurgents, each numbering about 600 men, have appeared at different points in Macedonia. these bands may, force an outbreak of hostilities. The Greek trading steamer Thessalia, after landing passengers at Volo L 1 Wednesday, was sent to the isle of, Skiathos with an important dispatch to. meet the eastern Greek squadron. Noon—Bands of Greek brigands have entered Turkey at Krania, in the vi- cinity of Grebina. The Turkish troops have been engaged with them and the fight has been proceeding since 5 o’clock this morning. At the Turkish headquarters this news is looked upon as being of the gravest description, in view of the ex- citement here. ' Edhem Pasha has sent orders to have everything in readiness for an advance of the Turkish army in force. It is not kndwn yet whether Greek troops were among the brigands who have entered Turkish. territory. Blockade Plans. London, ApDril 10.—The attorney gen- eral, Sir Richard Webster, replying for the government today relative to the blockade of Greece, said the intentions of the powers could not be announced until a definite decision had been taken. He could not say whether the blockade would be pacific or belligerent. If pa- cific, the blockade would apply to Greek vessels only. In the event of it being belligerent, there was no doubt the usu- al practice would be followed of allo .— ing the vessels of neutral powers al- ready in the blockade-d ports to com- plete their (srgoes within 'a reasonable time and to tall at once. Neutral ves- sels with c goes for blockaded ports, theiattcrne general added, would be liable to be turned back from the date the blockade commences. Russians Bombard Insurgents.- Khania, Is‘and of Crete, April 10.———The Musduimans and others who had sought refuge in the fortress of Kissamo arrIVHd here today on board an Austrian trans- port. The garrison of the place, how- ever, remains there under a contin’uors fusillade from the insurgents, who kill- ed two soldiers today. Later, a Russian gunboat bombarded the insurgents and compelled the latter to retire to the heights in the vicini.y of Kissamo. The New Tariff Bill. Washington, April 10.-—The Republican senators who are acting as a subcom- mittee of the senate committee on finance in the preparation of the tariff bill are inclined in their estimates now to postpone the date of its presentation to the senate a little beyond the limit originally fixed by them. They now ex- press the opinion that it may be two weeks from the present time before it will be in shape to be reported. The Coal Trade. New York, April 10.—The Engineering and Mining Journal will report in its next issue that there is a better move- ment of anthracite coal and that prices realized are firmer, though no higher, than last week. The soft coal market continues slow, the demand being not quite up to what it was. London Praises Captain Malian‘s Book.

New York, April 9.——Surrogate Arnold heard more testimony today in the con- test of the will of William Ivison, who was for many years a book publisher in this city. Mr. Ivison died last May at the Hoff- man House in his 80th year, leaving an estate of $900,000. His will made little provision for any one except his nephew, David B. Ivison of Rutherford, N. J. His brother, Edward Ivison of California; his nephew, John C. Ivison, and a niece, Jane I. Williams, are con- testing the probate of the will, alleging undue influence and mental incapacity. The testimony shows that Mr. Ivison gloated over the prospect that he would soon become a. millionaire. He was often seen hugging and kissing his money and bonds. One of the most important witnesses in the contest is Miss Mary Sheridan, who was employed for some time as a press feeder by Mr. Ivison. Later ,she became his confidential clerk. After the death of Mr. Ivison’s wife Miss Sheridan went to live at the Hoff- man House, occupying rooms adjoining those of her employer. She gave con- siderable testimony concerning the business affairs of Mr. Ivison, but de- nied that she had a list of his bonds. ' She denied that she had threatened to leave Mr. Ivison unless he did things to please her. Mrs. Elizabeth Seeley, a sister-in-law of Mr. Ivison, testified that she visited him ‘at the Hoffman House after the death of his wife, and on one occasion saw Miss Sheridan kneeling beside Mr. Ivison with her arms around his neck while he was lying on a lounge.
