Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shun’ned by
Their Fellow-Man.
‘ Srnmormrm, Mo.
GENTLEMEN: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman‘s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an~
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

Elassona, April' 20.—Evening.¥The
Turkish forces, as this dispatch is be-
ing forwarded, are holding their posi-
tions in the Milouna pass. During the
severe fighting which began last even-
ing and. in which three Greek officers
KING GEORGE OF. GREECE.
of high rank and the Turkish oflicer
Hafiz Pasha were killed, Greeks and
Turks alike fought and behaved in the
most admirable manner.
Turkish reports just received say that
the whole of the Milouna pass is now in
possession of the Turks, who carried
two Greek blockhouses at the point of
the bayonet. It is believed that the
battle which will be fought tomorrow
will be of a decisive character.
A dispatch received from the front
says that the Turks, besides occupying
the whole extent of the Milouna pass,
have also taken all the commanding
heights from Neckche to Papalyvava
as well as all the defiles.
The Turkish losses thus far are re-
ported to be slight—30 killed and 50
wounded. A press correspondent says
he counted 100 Greek corpses on the hill
opposite the Turkish position.
Kenan Bey has returned from Katya,
where the fighting continued when he
left there. The Turkish loss at that
place was 200. Kenan Bey says he
counted nearly 1,000 dead Greeks.
The town of Elassona is deserted by
its inhabitants, who have fled north-
ward and toward Salonika, fearing that
the fighting between the Turks and
Greeks will extend to this place.
The Imperial Ottoman bank-of Cou-
stantinople has offered the government
to establish at Elassona and maintain
at its own expense 3. hospital for the
wounded.
Adjournment of the Assembly.
Athens, April 20.—-At the second sit-
ting of the legislative assembly last
evening, when Prime Minister Delyan-
nis announced amid great cheering,
“Turkey declares war on us, and we ac-
cept it,” the house voted the various
measures proposed by the government
and then adjourned sine die. The sitting
lasted until 2 o'clock this mbrning.
The Greek minister for foreign affairs
has sent a reply to the note which As-
‘ sim Bey, the retiring Turkish minister,
handed to M. Skouzes.
note was as follows:
“In consequence of the aggressive at-
titude of Greece, diplomatic relations
between the king of the Hellenes and
his imperial majesty, the sultan of Tur-
key, and their respective governments
are hereby broken off.
“The Greek minister at Constantino-
ple and the Greek consuls have been or-
dered to' quit Turkish territory. For
the same .reason the Turkish consuls in
Greece have been recalled to Constan-
tinople. Within a fortnight from the
date of this announcement all Greek
subjects must leave Turkish territory.
Ottoman subjects now in Greek terri-
tory have been invited to leave within
the same period.”
M. Skouzes, in his answer, says:
“In wishing to make Greece responsi-
ble for the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions, the imperial government appears
to lose sight of the fact that Greece, far
from proceeding to acts of hostility
against Turkey, has had to suffer dur-
ing the last few days from repeated acts
of aggression upon the part of the Turk—
ish army- at several points on the fron-
tier. Owing to the conflict at the
Prophet Elias on March 28, the royal
government drew the attention of the
imperial government to the attitude of
the Turkish troops, but instead of yield-
ing to the spirit of moderation dictat-
ing this step the imperial government
appeared disposed to precipitate events.
Thus, on Friday the Turkish army,
without provocation, attempted to ob-
tain possession of Analipsls, which was
mutually agreed to be neutral territory.
It'was only owing to the resistance of
the Greeks that this attempt to-violate
neutral territory failed.
“The royal government cannot let
pass in silence the fact that before it
was officially notified of the rupture of
diplomatic relations, and while ,the
king’s minister at Constantinople was
only notified at an advanced hour of
the night, >the forts at Prevesa. ’opened
The Turkish
fire at 5 o'clock in the morning on the
Hellenic position at Actium and sank
the Greek, steamer Macedonia.
“In face of-these .factsf'showing there
is little foundation for the assertion of
the sublime porte, to the effect .that
Greece committed acts of hostility, the
responsibility for the consequences can
in no way rest with the king’s govern-
ment.” -
Fought All Sunday. ‘
Athens; ‘April 20.—Dispatches from
Tyrnavo, northwest of Larissa, say that
the fighting in the vicinity of Reveni
and Bughazi lasted throughout Sunday.
The Greeks captured two Turkish posts,
one of which was retaken later by the
Turks. The fighting was of a. desperate
character, hand to hand, and the Greeks
are reported to have advanced into the
Damazi plain and to have occupied
Viglia, which commands it, after cap-
turing a battery of Turkish artillery.
A second engagement took place at
Gritzovali "where the Turks, according
to the last reports received, were at-
tempting to recapture that post from
, the Greeks.
Colonel Manos, at the head of 25,000
Greek troops, has Crossed the river
Arakphos on the frontier of Epirus and
is now entering that part of south A1-
bania, after having driven back the
Turkish advance posts.
The bombardment of Prevesa was re-
sumed at daybreak. The landing force
has not yet attacked the place.
A dispatch from the Greek headquar-
ters at Larissa this afternoon says that
three important positions were occupied
near Menexa today by the Greek troops.
Prince Nicholas of Greece, the third
son of King George, has been ordered
to the front in command of a. battery of
artillery. ‘
Later in the day confirmation was re-
ceived of the report that a. large Greek
force had crossed the river Arakphos.
Preparing to Land at Preveza.
Island of Corfu, April 20.——The Greek
troops, as this dispatch is sent, are ad-
vancing on Fillipiada, northwest of
Arta.
A detachment of 800 Greek troops is
in readiness to land at Preveza, the
Turkish fortified position north of the
entrance of the gulf of Arta, whose bat-
teries yesterday fired upon and sank
the Greek steamer Macedonia. Bom-
bardment of Preveza was at once or-
dered by the Greek government. The
Turkish forts there have been almost
completely destroyed by the bombard-
ment of the Greek fleet. Many of the
forts have been reduced to ashes.
The News Confirmed.
Rome, April 20.—A dispatch to The
Messagero from Arta says that the re-
maining Turkish fort at Preveza has
been destroyed by the fire of the Greek
warships, and that the position of the
Turks is untenable. Four thousand
Greeks, the dispatch says, have been
landed for the purpose of occupying
Preveza. . ,
A second dispatch to the same paper
announces that 2,000 Albanians who
started into Greece with the expressed
intention of reaching Larissa have re-
crossed the frontier and are now ravag-
ing Epirus.
Turkish Navy Is Idle.
Constantinople, April 20.—The Turk-
ish fleet will remain in the Dardanelles
so long as the fighting continues. _It
will not be sent away to do battle with
the Greek war vessels or attempt to
.ravage the coast of Greece.
It is understood here that the agents
of Greece are actively at work in Mac-
edonia, using every effort to incite the
Macedonians to war. This news is not
calculated to lessen the bitterness of
feeling on the part of the upholders of
the crescent. ' But then it is at such‘a.
pitch now that it is not possible to in-
tensify it.
Turkey’s Queer Plight.
Berlin, April 20.—-No secret is made in
diplomatic circles here that Turkey will
not be allowed to occupy Greek terri-
tory. Germany will be the first to put
a stop to such a state of affairs. The
other nations of Europe will be hardly
less zealous in checking the armies of
the sultan should they attempt to move
upon Athens. This simplifies the situa-
tion greatly and limits the operations of
the Turks substantially to the capture
of Larissa,Trikhala and Phanari. When
these places have been taken, the war
will be practically over, and the powers
will then assume command and deter-
mine what the results are to be.
The consensus of opinion here that
finds expression is rather complimentary
to the restraint which the sultan has
exercised over his armies. It is admit-
ted that no first class power would have
accepted such striking acts of provoca-
tion with no greater retaliation. Nev-
ertheless,in Turkey’s case it is admitted
that that nation's moderation has as its
basis the positive knowledge that to a.
great extent her hands are tied. She is
well aware that no matter what victo-
ries her armies shall gain they will .not
be permitted to enjoy their fruits. In
consequence no particular weight is at-
tached to her expressed willingness to
call back her troops in case the Greeks
withdraw from Crete and the Turkish;
frontier. She is credited simply with
saying that she will not take what she
knows she will not be permitted to re-
tain.
This does not put out of sight alto-
gether the fact that the fighting men-
aces the peace of Europe. Every effort
will be made to the end that the strug-
gle shall be as short and decisive as
possible. The plains of Thessaly will
beat the mercy of the Turks as soon
as they shall have thoroughly invested
Milouna. _
Although it has been more than
whispered that this pountry and Russia
have not only failed to put pressure on
the porte, but even incited him on, such
a. rumor obtains no real credence.
. London Views on the Situation.
London, April 20.———The news of the
outbreak of hostilities on the Greek
frontier has caused but little excitement
here. The prominent officials and the
Turkish embassy have received no in-
formation beyond the fact that war has
broken out. A correspondent under-
stands that _Turkey has no idea of ter-
ritorial conquest because she is aware
that the powers would not sanction an
advance to Athens. The idea is" that
she will first attempt to capture Larissa
and then march on Trikhala and Pha-
nari. If these also are captured, Tur-
key would be in a position to compel
Greece to comply with the demands of
the powers. The Turkish fleet, however,
is still in the Dardanelles, where it is
likely ‘to remain as long as the Greeks
continue active. . . ' g
It is reported here that the powers, so
far from blockading Grlek. ports, will
I
J
\
even allow Colonel Vassos and his army
to return to Greece if he decides to do
50., In any case, the Greek fleet would
be able to harass Turkey at many
points, besides, in addition, keeping open
the supply of provisions and munitions
for. the Greek army. .
The latest advices from Arta.‘ show
that the rains have been followed by
three days of hot, fine weather, and
the river Arakphos, which alone sepa-
rates the opposing armies, is rapidly
shrinking. The hill roads are improv-
ing in conditions. It is at ’this point
that the severest fighting'rnay be ex-
pected. Another question of‘dominat-
ing influence is whether the Greeks can
bring about an uprising in Macedonia.
and the Sporades islands.
In spite of the fact of its being a hol-
iday heretoday there was great 'activ-
ity at the foreign office, where the full
staff was at work the whole day long.
The Italian, German, Austrian, Swed-
ish, French and Turkish ministers had
a lengthy conference with Sir Thomas
H. Sanderson, the permanent secretary
of the foreign office. The latter in-
formed a representative ,,of the press
that the powers had not yet decided to
interfere in the war between Greece and
Turkey which, he added, should be
sharp and decisive. an» the Greeks have
little chance of ultimately winning.
That Minor Triple Alliance.
St. Petersburg, April 20.—Referring to
the formation of an alliance between
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro,-it is
semiofiicially pointed out today that the
league being formed is not only for
their protection against Turkey and
Austria, but against pan-Hellenic aspi-
rations in‘ the Balkan peninsula. There-
fore, it is added, Greece is unable to
count upon any support from the in
the present conflict and, moreover, xéieir
respective ministers have positively as-
;sured Russia that their governments
Ewill maintain strict neutrality.
‘ The French Policy.
Paris, April 20.—At a cabinet meeting
it was decided not to modify the policy
fairs previously adopted by France. At
the close of the cabinet meetinng. Ha-
notaux, the minister for foreign affairs,
received the Greek minister to France,
M. Delyannis. At the request of the
Greek minister at.Constantinople, Prince
Mavrocordato, the French embassy
there has been authorized to take under
its protection the Greek Catholics in
Turkey. - ‘
Would Gd'Home to Fight.
New York, April _20.—Over the scarlet
banner of Turkey floated the blue and
white bars of the royal standard of
Greece in the Parthenon restaurant in
Roosevelt street today. At the tables
sipping coffee and drawing at the hook-
ahs sat groups of Greeks. _
Newspapers containing accounts of
the clash at arms between the Greeks
and Turks were scattered about. The
portraits of the royal family of Greece
were draped in the Greek flag, inter-
twined with the stars and stripes. Over
it hung a. banner bearing this device:
“Eis ta sunora.” ,
The Greeks were not wrought into a
fever of excitement on reading the in-
scription. Done into English, it means
"To the front!" But with unmoved
countenances they sat and contemplat-
ed the inscription. There were no cries
and gestures, but the men looked deter-
mined and resolute. They had agreed
that as many as could, raise the money
would leave for the seat of war by the
next steamship, and they said no need
for argument. .
Pride of the ancient deeds of Greece
was noticeable in the conversation of
the men, as they traced out the report-
ed movements of the contending armies
on the maps.
“The valor of Greece will prevail
against the greater armies of the Mo-
hammedans,“ -said Constantine de
Phassoularides, secretary of the Greek
committee, and his hearers nodded in
approval. ‘ '
“Every Greek in the country will go
home to fight for his mother country,”
added George Patterson, “and the
slight advantage that Edhem Pasha.
seems to have will be overcome when
the Greeks rally." ‘
-Even when they began to talk about
the conflict the Greeks did not betray
any emotion. They showed the man-
ners of men who believe in their own
strength and the courage of their fel-
lows._ Their patriotism was not ob-
scured by voluble discussions; it was
apparently of the sort that endures.
Of course the men gathered in the
restaurant to ta k about the war, and
each bit of news was analyzed with a
care characteristic of the thrifty and
cautious Greek. The burden of the ar-
gument was about the relative strength
of the opposing forces and what the fu-
ture will bring forth.
It was said that nearly 1,000 Greeks
have already left this country for the
frontier. There are not more than 600
of the royal reserves left in this coun-
COLONEL VASSOS.
[Commander of the Greek forces in Crete]
try and for various reasons the greater
number of them is unable to return
home, notwithstanding their willing—
ness. .
The fact that the body of 30,000 men,
comprising many of‘the most promi-
nent of Greeks and known as the Na-
tional league, or irregulars, is now
marching double quick to the front was
spoken of with noticeable delight. This
body is under the command of Georges
,Gussio, director general of the Anglo-
EgYPtian bank at Cairo, who was prom-
inent in the revolution of 1878 in Thes-
:‘nr- “3‘ “p“; -..

sal'y. - It was prophesied that the irreg-‘
T H E. E V'E N iN—G uji'A z’ur’ra’
ulars would soon distinguish themselves
in the eyes of the world.
It' was said today that possibly 200
more men would sail on Saturday to
enlist in the armies of Greece. Prepa-
rations are already making among the
prominent Greeks for the formation of
an organization that is intended to ren-
der material aid to the mother country.
Special services will be held in the
orthodox Greek church for the success
of the Christian forces.
The State Department's News.
Washington, April 20. —- The Turkish
.minister, Mustapha Bey, has commu-
nicatcd; with Secretary Sherman on the
status of the Turkish-Grecian conflict.
He officially informed the American
secretary of state today of the termina—
tion of diplomatic relations between
Turkey and Greece and of the attitude
of offense which Turkey had been com- ’
pelled to take by reason of the aggres-
siv'e course of Greece. It was expressly
made known, however, that no declara-
tion of war had been issued. Until this
official step is taken, the hostilities
along the frontier are regarded in the
light of preliminary movements, de-
signed to secure strategic positions, but
knot constituting war as contemplated
by a. formal declaration. Until this dec-
laration is made the United States gov-
ernment is not likely to give ofiicial
recognition to the existing state of af—
fairs by an announcement of neutrality,
or 'such other step as the authorities
may regard as necessary to safeguard
American interests.
The conflict is an absorbing topic in
official and diplomatic quarters here.
It is the strong .belief among diplomats
that the actual collisions which have
begun on the border will compel the
European powers to renew with greater
energy the effort to avert a long and
bloody contest. This movement of the
powers is being awaited with eager in-
terest by those most‘ concerned, as it
is felt to be the key of the final out-
come. Up to the present time, however,
no word has reached oflicials here of
any action by the European concert.
Price of \Vheat Sent Up.
New York, April 20.—-An old time war-
fare was witnessed in the wheat pit on
the New York Produce Exchange today.
The news of the actual beginning of
war between Greece and Turkey gave
a fright to the operators who have been
recently trading on the bear side of the
market.
Bear buying was re-enforced by or-
ders to buy from Europe. The grain
markets there were still closed because
of the Easter holidays. The New York
and Chicago grain market opened at
10:30 o’clock, New York time. Before
then the local operators received the
news from Chicago that on the curb the
price of May wheat had reached 78 cents
a bushel,_as against 783/4 Cents, the offi-
cial close on Saturday, a clean cut ad-
vance of 4% cents. Curb trading here
was affected by the news at Chicago,’
andbids were made for May wheat at
83 cents against 771/2 cents, the official
close at noon on Saturday. The latter
price was not the highest recorded for
Saturday, for on the curb that day the
'price touched 79% cents on the news
from the Chicago market, where the
closing on Saturday is one hour later
than here. ' .
.A great shout went up at 10:30 o’clock
when the gong proclaimed the official
beginning of business at the Produce
Exchange. The scene in the pit was an
exciting one.
The brokers yelled their orders to buy
with different prices recorded simulta:
neously at different points in ‘the pit.
The big dial underneath the visitors’
gallery which shows the course of the
active May future spun round from 771/3
cents, where it had rested at the close
on Saturday, to 82% cents, and then,
after hesitating a moment, wentl far-
ther, to 83% cents, or an advance of 5%
cents over Saturday’s official close.
There were further nervous fractional
fluctuations for the next few minutes.
By 10:40 o’clock the price was 837/3 cents,
or 6% cents over Saturday’s official
close and 4% cents over the curb close
of the same day.
The gallery was filled with spectators
to witness the opening. Business on
other parts of the floor was practically
suspended, and the flour and provision
men ceased operations to watch the
wheat dial.

VICTIM or CLEVER summary
A Prominent Toledo Business llIan Gives
$200,000 For W‘orthless Checks.
Toledo, April lit—James H.‘ Ains—
worth, who is one of Toledo’s most
prominent business men, has been m“ade
the victim of what appears to be a
great swindling scheme. A number of
busines men have been drawn into the
affair as indorsers and loaners of mon-
ey. As near as can be learned, a man
approached Ainsworth some time ago
with a‘ view to securing his interest in
the right of way in what is known as
the Toledo and Monroe railway, in
which he had considerable stock.
He represented that he had received a
concession from the Canadian govern-
ment for the organization of a lottery to
be run with the government sanction.
Ainsworth traded for the lottery stock.
Some time afterward two ofihe lot'
tery men, under pretext of needing
money, offered $200,000 worth of their
stock to him. Later a third person came
and wanted to buy Ainsworth‘ stock,
providing $200,000 more could be se-
cured. ‘ .
The bait was taken, and he bought
the stock. Then the bubble burst. At-
torneys and others interested are in
Detroit to devise some method of recov-
ering a part of the ”money.
TORTURED AND EOBBBD.
Masked Men Loot a House In Ohio and
. Get $5,000.
Findlay, 0., April ISL—The Blakesley .
family, living three miles from this
city, were robbed and tortured by 12
masked robbers.
The family consists of Mrs. Rebecca
Blakesley, Eliza Blakesley, a daughter,
and John and Smith Blakesley, sons.
They are the possessors of valuable oil-
fields, and by common report for years
they have boarded money. The bur-
glars broke into the bedroom where all
four people ‘were sleeping, and a. des-
perate fight ensued. Both John and
Smith were beaten into insensibility,
and Mrs. Blakesley and her daughter
were bound hand and fooot. Torches
were applied to their feet to make them
reveal the hiding place of the treasure
without avail.
Some of the robbers meanwhile were
ransack'ing the house and found in, a
bureau drawer $5,000 in bills and three
gold watches. Eliza was the first to re-
lease herself from bondage and Stim-
moned help from the 'city.
John Blakesley is in a critical condi-
tion, and it is feared he will die. Smith’s
head Was cut open, and the'feet of both
women are badly burned.
\Vhy the Princess Did Not Appear.
London, April '19.—A ‘dispatch. from
Paris .to The Times says that the
secret of the withdrawal of the Prin-
cess Chimay from the Folies Bergere is
found in the fact that the friends of
the family had resolved to place her
children in the front row of the thea-'
ter. A crowd of the ian friends of
Prince Chimay had a anged to come
from Charleroi. They were simultane—
ously to raise the cry of “To the mad—
house!“ Some of the Belgian friends
of the prince proposed to provoke a duel
with Rigo. This challenge, the compan-
ion of Princess Chimay of- course need
not. accept. Nevertheless the tragic
side of her adventure, the correspond-
ent of The Times says, may have been
nearer than was generally supposed.
Suspects Discharged.
Waltham, Mass., April 19.—Cornelius ' -
Hardigan and John Briggs were an-
raigned in the district court before
