Domokos, May 18. Headquarters of
the Greek army. (Dolayed in transmis
sion, j The battlejbetween tho Turks and
Greeks which began here at noon today,
Monday, was by far the lierceat of the
war. Tho Turks in front ot Domokos
advanced their infantry in oxtended
order, maintaining a constant attack
upon tho Greek trenches. Tho musketry
rattle has been incessant during the laBt
24 hours, but the Turks huvo not appro
ciably advanced. The Ottoman bat
teries in position are hnrdly less than
100, outnumbering ours 2 to 1. Burning
villnges show that tho enemy is already
all around our right.
Crown Prince Constantino is watching
the battle from tho heights between 'the
Acropolis and tho old fort, upon each of
which places siego guns have been
mounted. The reverberations ot thoir
""ports in the hills is terrific. Nothing
'"ore panoramic can bo imagined than
toe fight, extending fully six milos along
tlio open plain, with Mount Pindus and
t,ltJ frontier hills sharply outlined
against the nl:v.
Uio actual Greek los co far has been
6a!l in consequence of the strength of
tlicir portions and the number of their
entrenchments. The Turks, who wero
Wuch exposed, must have lost heavily.

Sax Fjiaxctsco, May IS. The Chron

Senator Aldrich in a conversation with
Senator Perkins said that the citrjis
fruits and Zante currant schedules are
indefensible and opposition to them on
tho floor is certain. This is taken to in
dicate that there will bo a hot struggle
to defeat i protection to California pro
ducts. I'oth senators are ready to take
up the struggle, however, and express
the hope that there will be no trouble in
keeping in the bill the best features of
the fruit tarill'.
The hardest fight will be on Znnte cur
rants, on which tho rate is highest in
tho bill, considered from an ad valorem
basis, being 03 per cent, but it is ex
pected that by showing inaccurate clas
sification in former bill to secure a re
tention ot tlie nguree.

The Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths ol
all of our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat nnd
digest food, without subsequently gutter
ing pain and distiess, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons,
because their food does them no good,
thov have devoted much study and
thought to the subject, and the result is
this discovery of their Digestive Cordial.

The Weatfield (Ind.) News prints tho
following in regard to an old resident of

"Old liarnoss thrown away? Not

"Nearly all the cust-oiT harness is
consumed in making dhcnp boots. Peo
ple will Jinve cheap bootfl, and the boot
manufacturers find that for making" a.
fcrviceahl? article ata low iig;uie there's
nothing to beat old haencss. Then
again, whip-thongs and bootlaces are
f.lso mailt from old horse-trapping's.
"In the liist place, the greater part of
U is bought up by big nuuiru store
dealers, v. ho collect it frar.i tho hairiest'
n.alcers and from army sales of etrn
(hiuutd rooda, ak o from railway com
patiie:.' !-..les, the average buying' price
being' twopence per pound. Theso
dealers have it taken to their vare
luuses, where it is sorted Into different
qualities and prices ranging' from one
k tiny to sixpence n pound. It is Ihen
.sold to wmaller dealers of tht? saiuo
l.ind, who in turn distribute it to the
boot manufacture!? and otlwra.
' Now, if it wasn't, for the eitorniou
quantity of old hn'nos: Ubcd by boot
manufacturers, a worklngraan would
not be able to purchase1 a pair of new
boots for a few sliillings. No boot
maker could afford to sell a pair of
men's: boots made entirely of new
leather for three and sixpt net ; yet hun
dreds of pairs aro hold at thi.s price,
every v. eck in our great towns, ami, us
long a horses are worked iu harness,

"Old saddles are mostly used for mak
ing' the inner hole of a boot, as they
are generally composed of the best
h ather, anil, besides being more durable,
v. ill not ctaek or perish. The most
profitable t-addle to cut up is u iridiiig"
saddle.' You see, they .contain a tre
ir.: ndous quantity of good, sound,
leather; and then they are frequently
Ihrowii aside more because they are
dingy than anything else. Undoubted
ly a hunting- saddle makes the fluest
boots; but military riding saddles are ,
usually made of the very best leather.
"The 'reina' used lor driving a horbo
form an important item in the con
struction of cheap boot being split by
machinery and laid under the tole.
Then the blinkers' and 'traces are
never very much worn, especially when
they come from rich people. Some cots

posure to the weather.
"The demand for old spts of military
harness is much renter than the sup

well cleaned and always- hep:, iu .rood
