GREECE HAS A HARD TIME.
but In Spite Of All Her Troubles She
Keeps Up Her Spirit.

Friends OF Greece tho world over have
long been watching with "a painful sympa-
thy the fortunes of the little kingdom.
What with earthquakos-and shocks arc
more frequent than showers by actual
count - fat money, now worth hardly
more than half its face; staggering debt
of $40 per capita and political instability,
her situation has seemed well nigh hope
less.
And but for those ardent spirits whose
love OF Greece Is above all yicissitude-im-
mortal as the Inspirations Of her ancient
glory--poor Greece might sit in sackcloth
today, "a nation without friend.
But 1t would be a serious blunder TO
take tho Greeks for moribund people
Their historical career attests IA capacity TO
endure and recuperative vitality without

The visitor at Athens may pass In 15

or may be 40 centuries young Her elder
sons followed Agamemnon TO Troy; her
younger brood are building as If the town
had been staked out yesterday.
Other cities count as many centuries,
but they are dead. Athens is alive all
through and all over-the same Athens
that Cecrops ruled when Moses was writ
ing down the law on Sinai.
Here is n people with a continuous his

The Greek alone of all the Aryan stock has
maintained his ground, his blood and his

to carry him an undiluted Greek through

BEASTS AS MIND READERS.
Survival of the Lost Sixth Sense Common
to Animals and Men.

to Animals and Men.
"Do you think animals communicate

lion tanner.
"They put their heads close together and
seem 10 have "a sort of sign language
They express such simple thoughts as m
tired, Get out Of the way Stand back,

walton among each other.
"The language of animals seems quite
plain To me, " continued the famous lion
tanner earnestly "Men have u considera-
bio ability 10 communicate facial express
sion and gesture, but school themselves TO
repress these natural expressions of rage,
fear or friendship and say by oral language
what their wisdom dictates, often quite the
opposite of what they feel.
Animals on the other hand, are too
simple 10 make believe, and this gift,
which men misuse, is their regular mode
of communication. Notice how quickly a
dog scents rage or sorrow in his master s
face We can't see the expression of "a lions
face except of rage, but his companions
can.
II have also thought that animals have
the gift of thought reading instead Of pow
er 10 speak. Did you ever see one animal
fail TO understand another? 1 never saw
such an instance. The range Of their
thoughts Is limited. do not think they
can read mems thoughts except very i'm
perfectly, because they are so extensive
and complex beyond their comprehension.
am inclined TO think that what we call
mind reading is mere survival here and
there of the lost sixth sense which was
probably common To primitive man, and
which animals POSSESS to this day. kan.

The Man He Slashed Refuses to Prose-

The case of Francisco Moro wGs called
in the Police Court yesterday. Morro
had fight with another Mexican named
Charles Marion some nights ago, in an
alley in the southwestern part of the city,
and slashed him so badly with razor
that he has been ever since confined to a
cot in the Receiving Hospital. When
MORO WAS arrested he claimed that Mar
ron attacked him with club, and he
used the razor in self defense.
When the case was called yesterday 1t
was found that no complaint had been
filed against MORO, and the announce
ment was made that Marion refused to
make any. Under the circumstances
Judge Davis dismissed the charge.
Marion told some OF the attaches at the
police station that the friends of Moro
had offered him $50, home and good
treatment if he would not prosecute
MORO. He was taken from the Receiv-
ing Hospital yesterday by some Mexi-
cans. II is stated that the tendOns of one
hand are severed, and it will be crippled,

A THOUGHT
FOR REFLECTION.

If there is any one fact which we
would like to emphasize more than
all others, it is the importance-the
very great importance-of our Cloth
ing Department.
Clothing is something that people
have to buy every year. What
everyone wants is to get durable
clothing, stylish clothing, clothing
that fits, and, above all, clothing
that is right in price. How few get
such
In that very fact lies our chance.
We can and do sell just such cloth
ing as people want, and at as low
and lower prices than they can get
elsewhere.

compelling US to pay their price for
bonds or else let our money lie idle in
the treasury. Under this last Act we
have, with the consent of the Trustees,
bought largely Of the street and levee
bonds, and now hold all but $50, 500 of the
total issue outstanding Of these two classes
of bonds.
The statement that the commission
holds securities-bonds and coupons that
have once been paid for the purpose of
collecting upon them again is so far off
that 1t kills itself-needs no considera-
ton. But unless some one shall wonder
how such statement could be made
without some semblance of truth. l will
say that the commission in all their
holdings of the city's securities, now
amounting 10 some 81, $50 900, has not the
value of dollar that has ever been paid
by the city In the sense that he would
have it understood, viz; that the city
will have to pay the same debt twice
over.
Now about refunding. The opinion Of
the commission upon refundlng mas
nothing to do with the operation, but as
Taxpayer" has undertaken to state the
refunding proposition, l wish to present
this side Of the case. If we refund the
| entire debt it will amount to Qess amount
nov in fund.- about 5000, 900. But reject
ing the long term bonds, say $780, 1t
is presumed that the bonds will be
readily taken at AZ per cent, possibly at
4. We shall issue forty-year bonds for
this last amount, $4,000 payable each
year with interest at per cent, or SIG, 900
interest the first year. $500 interest the
second year, and SO on until at the end OF
forty years the debt is extinguished. We
put 800, 900 nO1t-intereSt- bearing debt to
work earning interest at this rate for some
one else, resulting in the final payment to
our outside friends of some $325, 900 in
interest and reduce our rate OF taxation l
per cent. viii it be better for us to en-
dure the per cent. for five years more
and have no debt than to reduce it per
cent. and leave debt of $350,0OO at per
cent. interest running for thirty five years
longer?
This is the shortest space in which 1
can state the case. There are other con-
siderations that are suggested and that
have some weight, but no theories about
what we might do or what would happen
if our taxes were l per cent. lower should
dim our eyes to the obligations that are
| certain. II we refund as above, under
the most favorable considerations we
shall in 1900 owe S350, 600 at 4 per cent. {;
shall have to pay in 1898 $l24. 300 of the
old bonds, with interest each year up 70
| that time of $l2, 252; in 1903 pay S79,903,
bearing interest from 1888 at & per cent.
or "a, 74O year.

the present and devote his singular abil-
ity to the solution of present difficulties,

parent. SPARROW SMITH.

Trite Truths Regarding Love, Cour

Trite Truths Regarding Love, Court
ship and Marriage.
Rev. E. r. Ollie of San Francisco lee
ing at the Central M. E. Church on
"Love, Courtship and Marriage"
Marriage, the speaker said, is serious
matter. It is divine institution and old
as the race. Every family should have
at it's head man and woman. God
gave man woman on the ground that it
was not good for him to be alone. Not to
have a wife, DR.. Ollie said, is almost as
unnatural as to have more than one wife.
In speaking of love, he said that SUBJ
iect NAV be found in romance and drama.
Love is everywhere. He said be believed
in long courtship. The trouble with a
great many marriages, he said, Is brought
about by people getting married too
Quickly. Half the marriages broken by
divorce are annulled within hve years
from the date of the ceremony. The
sneaker said the divorce courts and the
present marriage laws are responsible for
q large number of unhappy unions. They
are not strict enough in their dealings ana
requirements in such an important mat
ter as marriage.
A mistake in marriage is the most
hurtful. 1t destroys the future happiness
of HUSBAND ana WIG. MdILloSos Ao Sslus
is like galvanic battery You can take
hold of it, but it will make you dance be-
fore you can let go. Young people enter
into marriage thoughtlessly. couple
before getting married should have con-
fidence in each other; they should know
each others tastes.
Woman is the savior Of the social
order. Many men of coarse mold have
been lifted up and refined by women. A
man should not have toy wife, one who
is too fragile and delicate. so much 30
that unless she is kept in glass case she
will crumble to pieces if you touch her:
She should be good housekeeper, ana
not person who wants to live above the
practical life. A great many couples In
love before they get married think they
will live above practical life. but after
the marriage runs along awhile they come
down to practical life. and some come down
quite aways. Home is woman,s nrst
empire; home is her sphere. The nus,
bands should relieve the wives OF meniai
tasks, and the wife should be on the same
intellectual plane as her husband. A
pure soul within will always radiate, and
such a woman will make an ideal help
meet.
God loves beauty. said DR.. Ollie, but
q man should not marry woman for her
