IS IT A GENUINE SUICIDE ?
Or Is This .Han's Disappearance Only
n II ig It I ii 11.
Pittston, May 2. About a month ago,
according to the Gazette, J. E. Cope,
an employe on the Wllkes-Harre and
Eastern railroad, became a member
of Division 05, Brotherhood of Hallway
Conductors, of this place, upon a
transfer from Middletown, N. Y. Con
ductor MathcwEon, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road, who
Is secretary of the Pittston division,
was surprised the other day to receive
a letter from Cope's wife, dated at
Clark's Green, April 21, In which she
applied for assistance and enclosed
the following copy of a letter sent her
by her husband, dated April 20:
"Dear Wife: I will bid you good
bye. When this reaches you I will bo
no more nnd I will never bo found. My
dues was paid up to April CO, 1S97. Ap
ply for policy. You will find It in
trunk. Write to mother. I can't.
Good-bye till we meet In heaven."
Mrs. Cope advised the members of
the Pittston division that sho Is left
with three little children, Is soon to
become a mother, and has no means
of support. The policy to which refer
ence Is made in the above letter pro
vides for $1,000 benefits upon the death
of the nu-mbor, but there being no
positive evidence as yet of Cope hav
ing committed suicide, his wife can
draw nothing from the Order of Hall
way Conductors upon the certificate.
Copo was engaged In his duties as
brakeman up to two weeks ago. He
and his family resided for a time at
Yatesvllle, and recently at Sebastopol.
The family resided at the latter place
until one day early last week, when
Cope suddenly and mysteriously left
home. Later Mrs. Cope received the
letter mentioned above. She informed
her parents of her trouble, and last
Tuesday her father came from Clark's
Green and took his daughter and tho
children to his home, the home In Se
baFtopol being broken up. Tho neigh
bors nt that place do not place cred
ence In the report that Cope has com
mitted suicide.

TROUBLES OF CRETANS.
I'iiiiioiih in Greek ilI)thology as the
Home of tho Miiiotiiiir--Onco a
Country of Small Republics, After
wards the Prey of the Koninuo, tho
Saracens nnd the Turks Kcspcc-tivclv-A
Century of Insurrection.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
The turbulent state of affairs In Crete
recalls the fact that this Island has
been tho scene of perpetual discord and
strife from time Immemorial.
To go back as far as one can, that Is,
to the legendary period of Grecian
mythology, it was flist celebrated, un
der the rule of King Mlnos.ns the home
of Daedalus, who constructed among
tho tortuous nnd rocky Inlets of Its
coast the famous labyrinth In which
the Minotaur was concealed. About
1,000 H. C. the Dorians established sev
eral small republics on the Island mod
eled after the fashion or the Spartans.
The Cretan archers were renowned at
that time for their skill as archers and
were In great request as mercenaries
In foreign armies. In G7 H. C. the popu
lation had greatly decreased and the
Island fell an easy prey to the Homans,
who added It to their colonial posses
sions. Upon the collapse of the Homan
empire and Its subsequent dismember
ment, Crete became a part of the By
zantine empire, until A. D. 823, when It
was taken by the, daracens, who held
It until act. On the conquest of Con
stantinople by the Crusaders the Isl
ahd was allotted to Bonifnce, Marquis
of Montferrnt, who sold It to the Vene
tians In 1201. In the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries it was subjected
to a constant succession of assaults by
tho Genoese and Turks, but these at
tacks were successfully resisted until
the close of the seventeenth century,
when Cnndln, the capital, succumbed
to the Turks after a protracted siege.
For tho next hundred years the Island
was Impoverished by oppression ana
devastated by repeated attempts at in
surrection.' In 1830 it was ceded to the
viceroy of Egypt, but restored to the
porto again in IS II. Insurrection
against the Turkish rule broke out once
more in 185S, but made slow headway
until 1SGG, when tho whole Christian
population rose up In arms against the
Mussulmans. Vigorous fighting took
place In 1SC7 between the Insurgents
and the Turkish troops, under Omer
Pasha, and the hostilities continued for
threo years, notwithstanding frequent
efforts on the part of the great powers
to bring about a settlement of the dif
ficulties. Finally, In February, 1SC9,
the Insurgent leaders surrendered to
the Turkish government, but the de
mands of the Cretan assembly for ex
emption for several years from Imposts,
for the. establishment of banks to de
velop and foster agriculture and other
measures of relief were granted.
Since then the Island, though nomi
nally a Turkish vilayet, has had prac
tical autonomy. It is divided Into five
provinces, which are again sub-divided
Into twenty districts, eacli district
sending four members to the general
assembly elected by the people. Tho
assembly sits forty days in each year
and is presided over by the governor
who is invariably a n'ltive or a Greek
Christian. No tribute is paid to the
Turkish government.
In the insurrection of 1SGC, the Greeks
united by the ties of kinship and relig
ion, strongly sympathized with their
Cretan brethren; tho same spirit is
strongly expressed today, and It Is this
determination to assist the Islanders
in their eftort to shake off the suzer
ainty of Turkey that at the present
moment is endanceriug tho peace of
Europe.
The Island of Crete is 160 mlloa long
nnd averages from 7 to 30 In width. In
the centre a chain of mountains sumo
8,000 feet In height runs tho entire
length, sendlns out spurs north and
soutn. io the south these spins ter
minate in rooky bluffs, which render
tho coast dntiffcrous and inhospitable,
but towards the north the spurs gradu
ally slope lo a. low coast, forming sev
eral tood harbors, of which the prin
cipal are Canea, Hetlmo, Caridla and
Suda, There are no rivers worthy tho
name and but a omnll portion of the
available land Is cultivated, owing, it
is said, largely to the laziness of tho
Inhabitants. Silk, however, of a good
quality. Is exported In ronsiderabla
quantities and It Is tho home of the
famous Kajabulbul, the favorite bird
of the Turks.
Of these 2S0.OO0 Inhabitants, almost
all of whom are of Greek descent,
about one-third arc Mohammodans.and
the other two-thirds, with tho excep
tion of 700 Jews, arc Christians.

apolis, Ind.
Gentlemen: While suffering Intense
ly from piles, I became Interacted In
your advertisement In one of our dally
papers and procured n package of your
Pyramid Pile Cure from our druggist.
Contrary to my expectations, tho relief
was Instantaneous. I used two boxen
of the Pile- Cure nnd one of the Pills
nnd am convinced that they arc the
only sure cure for piles on the market.
IJiiavo been a sufferer from piles for
fifteen years and have been confined to
my bed about one-half of tho time,
expecting and wishing for death for tho
pain was so great. I went to tho col
lege hero nnd the doctors- said my
cnse was a new ono to them, the great
pain having brought on a largo rup
ture, which they wanted seven hundred
dollars to cut out. I was very much
afraid that death would result from
tho blood-poisoning which they said
would result from the operation. I feel
as though I can't praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills too
highly, as I am convinced that they
saved my life. Hefore using your curt
I weighed only ninety pounds and now
I v, clgh ono hundred and fifty nnd feel
as well as I ever did In my life. You
are at liberty to use this testimonial
in any manner you may see fit, ns I
wnnt all sufferers from this, terrible
disease to know that there has at
last been compounded a remedy that
will cure piles. Mrs. M. C. Hlnkley.
There Is no need of the danger, pain
nnd expense of a surgical operation for
any form of plies. The Pyramid Pile
Cure docs the work without pain and
Is the safest and best. Hemembcr al
so that the Pyramid Pills are a cer
tain cure for constipation acting with

they proceeded on their fishing voynsc.
They landed at St. Nicholas Mole, llay

visions proceeded the next day. for Capo

wero carried to sea, and for threo days
they drifted. They had no fool niter
tho first day. they declare, and but little
water, Undir those circumstances they
made for tho nearest land, and arrived
at Alligator Hay, Cuba, on February M.
The captain of tho port directed them to
tho Ilnltixl States consul at Guantnnamo,
whero they got some money and wero
advised to go to Santiago de Cuba to
find work. They arrived at that place
on February 23 and asked the captain
of tho poit to direct them to the United
Statc3 consul. Instead he took them to
prison, nftcr searching their boat anl
baggage.
o
Dr. Pulaski R. Hyatt, tho Fritted States
consul, had them n-Ivascd that night and
tock them homo to supper, but aftor sup
per they were arrested again and thrown
into prison. The next day they were
examined before a military court and
told that they would! ha vo to remain In

wero released on parole, and on May 3
were told that they might go. To escape

HIS COM) KEl'I.Y.
Answered u Jnkc lv (Jiving a Precise
Dettnitioii of Humor.
Some evil nonius and a misguided
desire to he agreeable led me into re
lating what I considered an Intensely
funny anecdote to a man I know the
other day, says a writer In the Wash
ington Post. He listened in silence.
His silence, Indeed, lasted so much
longer than tho story did that I ven
tured to repeat tho point you know
there are men you have to do that way
with. Still he did not smile. So I said:
"Why don't you laugh?"
'I am afraid," said he, "that you
don't know what humor is."
"Perhaps, I don't," I admitted.
"What is It?"
And then he said, and claimed to ho
quoting from a German scientist,
whose name, I am glad to say, I have
forgotten, "Humor consists of tho reve
lation or the perception of the surpris
ing or the Incongruous In cases or un
der circumstances when the mind per
ceives u parallel or concurrent possi
bility of expectedness or congrulty"
That is really what he said.

Had times beeu good and money plenty we would not
have one pair of these expensive, real lace curtains on hand
that we bought at the Bankrupt Stock of Kerr, Son & Co.
But money is tight aud imitations have the field, because
they look well at a distance aud cost little money.
Well, the Spring Curtains, including Cluny, Brussels,
and Point Laces, Orientals, Renuaissauce, Marie Antoinette
and other high class curtains have staid with us, We must
sell them; we have no, option in the matter, and for this
week we will sell the highest grade of curtains that ever
came to this city at common quality prices. It's a shame,
but there's no help for it.
