The surrender was preâ€" seded> by a ficree bombardment lasting without cessation for two nights. Every available gun, inâ€" €luding a number of heavy Howitzâ€" ®rs, lent by the Servian artillery, was brought to bear by the Greeks on the forts defending the beleagâ€" uered city. No fewer than 30,000 shells were fired by the Greek guns during the first day‘s cannonade. Gradually the Turkish batteries at Bizani, Manoliar, Sakai, and elseâ€" where were silenced under the susâ€" tained fire of projectiles. The Greek commanders by a feint led the Turks to believe that their atâ€" tack would be made from the right, and as soon as the attention of the defenders had been distracted the Greeks hurled large bodies of inâ€" fantry on to the Turkish left. The Ottoman troops, utterly surprised, fell back in disorder. BRITISH STEAMER WRSICKED. . _ . 1lof The family remedy for Coughs and Cn::’, EXPLORERS‘ TRAGIC END Lieut.

The Gréeks pushed their forward movement during the afterâ€" noon, and occupied the Turkish batteries in Sakni and Elas Hills, capturing all the guns and one hundred and ten _ artillerymen. Then the Greek battalions gradualâ€" ly deployed on to the plain in ffgn‘t of the city itself, and the Turkish flight became general despite all the efforts of the Ottoman officers to rally their men. Whole detachâ€" ments succumbed to the panic and joined in a mad race into the city with the Greek troops in hot purâ€" suit almost to the walls. With all the defending batteries in the hands of the Greeks, and the Hellenic soldiers at the gates of Janina, Essaed Pasha, the Turkish commander, at 6 o‘clock on Thursâ€" day morning sent messengers under a flag of truce toâ€" Crown Prince Constantine of Greece, announcing the surrender of the city and all the troops under his command.

THE NEWS IN A PARAGRAPH UAPPENINXGS FROM ALL OYVED THE GLOBZ IN A NUTSHIBLL United States, d that Gustavyo â€" mutilated before Mr. James was discussing the cost of living, and it was an attentive group of %0 city men ho was addressing. . They were vitally interestod, because, as Mr. Jamos pointed out, the present conditions have reached such a pass that for the classes of the community on fixed salarâ€" ies, and this means the great body of teachere, clergymen, clerks and all other forms of unorganized workers, relief must come #0on. Mr. James made a eomment that was surprising to many of his audieuce in conpection with the opening up of Westâ€" ern Canada. He demonstrated that as far as the cost of living in this country is concerned, the new population in the West is doing nothing to ameliorate conditions. While they are producers in one sense of the word, the stuff they are producingâ€" wheat, oats, flaxâ€"ies practically all for exâ€" port, so that as a matter of fact the inâ€" creased population is simply adding to the consuming population of the country. On the other hand, the rural population of Eastern Canada during the last ten years had declined by about 47,000 people, while the city or urban population of the country had increased by no less than 1,250,000. In these figures, Mr. James thought, lay one of the chief causes for the great advance in the cost of living in Canada. The consumers had increased, the producers had declined in number. It was inevitable that the law of supply and demand should rule. Mr. James followed this up with the startling declaration that in his opinion it would be better for the Government, instead of spending thirty, forty or fifty million dollars for railâ€" ways to open up new area in the Northâ€" west, to tam a similar amount and spend it on good roads in old Ontario and the other settled portions of Eastern Canada. In this connection Mr. James pointed out that Canada, geverally regarded as an agricultural country, is a large imâ€" porter of food stuffs. British Columbia, for example, imports $16,000,000 worth of table products annually, and little New Brunswick, anothor agricultural province, imports $4,000,000 worth. _ "I want to tell you," he said emphatiâ€" cally, "that the farmer ie not getting too much." In illustration he quoted the fact that a bag of Â¥otaloeu which costs 906., $1.00 or $1.25 in Toronto, yields to the farâ€" mer who grows them, probably in Carleâ€" ton (County, New Brunswick, not more than 30c., and the milk which eells in Toronto for 10¢. a quart yields the farmer probably only 41â€"2c¢. a quart. . TORONTO CORRESPONDENCGE The Farmer and the Publicâ€"The Tubercuâ€" losis Cureâ€"Suffragettes Visit Washâ€" ingtonâ€"Toronto‘s Big Show. City people, not infrequently, are beard to declare that farmers are getting rich, that the present high cost of living must be resulting in a situation in which the farming community as a whole is simply rolling in wealth, This view was puncâ€" tured by Dr. C. C. James, former Deputy Minister of Agriculture for the Province of Ontario and now Advisory Expert for the Dominion Department of Agriculture, in his address to the Canadian Club. _ "The farmer who {om 412%c. a quart is not getting too much," he eaid, "but the city man who pays 106. a quart is paying too much." Mr. James maintained that the system of distribution was all wrong, though, he said, there was no use calling the middle man hard names, because he was simply working under conditions as they oxist and earning an honest ]iviu‘_. Mr. James outlined what it wae proposed to do with the $10,000,000 now being grantâ€" ed by the Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture for the increase of agricultural knowledge and training, the purpose beâ€" ing to teach the farmers how to increase the amount of their produce.

TRY IT, The Exhibition Association is made up of delegates from various bodies of a more or less representative character throughâ€" out the Province. Membership in the Asâ€" sociation carries with it as privileges the right to attend the annual meeting, to take part in the discussion there and to vote in the election for Board of Direcâ€" tors, and to a pass or two for the Exhibiâ€" tion. The Board of Directors, consisting of 16 members, is the inner circle. While the membership of the Association inâ€" cludes a number from outside the city, the Directorehips are pretty well confined to men with Toronto interests. Formerly there was in addition to the Directorate a system of committees through which it was sought to interest the various memâ€" bers of the Association, but this plan has been largely abandoned. The Inmost Circie. s Aa a matter of fact, there is an inner circle within the inner cirole, the inmost circle being the Executive Committee of about five members. This is the real govâ€" erning body of the Exhibition. The annual meeting this year was one of the largest in the history of the A#â€" sociation, filling one of the large rooms at the City Hall. President Kent, a man of few words, presided, and General Manâ€" ager Orr was at his left hand to see that the wheels revolved smoothly. The elecâ€" tion of Directors is always accompanied by a great deal of buttonholing, and, it is said, wireâ€"pulling, and there is generâ€" ally a surprise in store for someone. This year it was for Mr. H. R. Franklavd, a former director who. had some disagreeâ€" ment with the other members of the Board during the year just closed, and who this year went down to defeat. After the voting adjournment was made to a restaurant, where an elaborato luncheon was served. Conditions of Lakes and Rivers at the Present Time,. A despatch from Sarnia says: According to reports received at this port, the ice conditions in the lakes are as follows: In Lake Buâ€" perior there is ice west of Whiteâ€" fish Point and at Duluth for about twentyâ€"five miles off shore. _ The St. Mary‘s River is frozen over enâ€" tirely, while in the Mackenzie Straits the ice «is solid and about two feet thick. In Lake Huron many icefields are floating about, but are not very thick. The 8t. Clair River is frozen solid from Sarnia to the mouth. â€" Lake St. Clair is frozen over about fourteen inches thick. The lower Detroit is filled with ice, while Lake Erie has many floating floes of small thickâ€" ness. Eager Suffragettes. The Toronto @uffragettes who went to Washington have returned well pleased with their expedition. ‘The Buffrageites, as a rule, are very sensitive of ctiticism of their actions, but this hase not preventâ€" ed certain persons of both sexes from asking what was to be gained by euch a Jaunt. ‘The (Qoint. of view of these critics is that the Canadian participation in the Washington parade was as much out of place as would be the participation in an Ottawa parade of Canadian Suffragettes setking to influence the Dominion Parliaâ€" ment, by a contingent of United States women. The Toronto contingent could not help but impress the eye. They wore red bats, long white trailing gowns with a big red «ash bearing the word "Canada," and carried Union Jacks. The dolegation included about a dozen of the most acâ€" tive agitators in Toronto, including Mrs. Flora Macdonald Denison, President of the Canadian Buffrage Association; Dr. Augusta Stoweâ€"Gullen, past president; Dr. Margaret Johnston, Mrs. Campbell Macâ€" Ivor, who alone of Toronto‘s suffragettes believes in militant methods; Mrs. Hecâ€" tor Prenter, the very active Secreurr of the Association; Mrs. L. A. Hamilton, President of the Equal Franchise Leaguo and a very active social worker, and Mrs. E. L. Campbell, Presidont of the Boeaches‘ Progress Club. All of these aro ladies of ripe experience in women‘s movements, and none belongs to the type one would expect to be carried away by any visionâ€" ary project. The enthusiastic Mrs. Hamâ€" ilton proposes to organize a parade in Toronto next. Cabinet Ministers Lend a Hand. â€" The Toronto Exhibition Association has only one meeting a year, but it manages to throw around that gathering some of the glamor of national importance which it secures for the Big Show itself. For example, at the annual meeting this year no less than three Cabinet Ministers were in attendance. There was the Honorable James Duff, who from his position as Minâ€" ister of Agriculture takes a keen interest in all exhibitions, and who is an enthusiâ€" astic member of the Toronto Exhibition Association; then there was the Honorâ€" able W. H. Hearst, whose gpecial interest is New Ontario, which always has a promâ€" inent exhibit at the fair, and the third Minister wase the Honorable Dr. Pyne, Minister of Education, whose interest is elicited on account of the educational feaâ€" tures which the Fair seeks to introduce. Each was called upon to make a speech, and responded with a few brief sentences of a congratulatory nature, delivered in characteristic style, Mr. Duff inclined to be flowery, Mr. Hearst forcible and downâ€" right, and Dr. Pyne the dignified and euave gentleman. 3 In One Glass of Montreal Milk There are 7,668,000,000 Germs. A despatch from Montreal says: In 78 out of every 100 lunch rooms, eating houses and hotels in Montâ€" real the milk supplied diners is far below standard. In most cases the fluid supplied quite patently proclaims its lineage from the town pump, with but little suspicâ€" ion of bovine extraction. In one case 42,600,000 bacteriological orâ€" ganisms were discovered in about twelve drops of "milk" taken from a sample provided in one wellâ€" known restaurant. _ This figures out at 7,668,000,000 bactcria â€" per The family remedy for Coughs and Colds.
