We Have NO "Excelleneiss. ,

from the Clnclnnau enquirer.
"His sxcellency," or "Your Excel
leney," as applied to the governor of
q state or to the president of the Unit
ed Statts,i term still in too common
use. 1t is incorrect, improper, vulgar,
and q mark of ignorance. THERE'S no
law or cemmendable custom to justify
it, and 1t Is in absolute discord with
the spirit of our institutions. Many
people sre mistaken as to what is re-
quired Of them In addressing person
holding the dignified office of presi-
dent or governor. Those having great
favors to ask, such as the pardon of
friends from the penitentiary, are apt
to adopt the obsequious style of begin
ming their petitions to governor for
example; but the governor who allows
his fancy to be tickled by being ad.
dressed as "Your Excellency" isn't fl,
to be on the board of governors of a
fishing club.

PARIS, January 1S.--The rumor
that war has broken out In Gresce
in current upon the bourses of this
city, Vienna and Berlin. Nothing,
however, has been received direct
from Athens in this city.
The latest Bourse rumors include
the report of the abdication Of the
King of Greece, Georgios l. The
reports are not confirmed.
KING GEORGE, OF GREECE.

out in Greece.
The Greek Consul here has heard
nothing of the insurrection which

But dispatch which was received

Elliott L. McNama.

From the Montgomery Clty standard.
Elliott & McNama, of Laddonia,
live stock traders known to many
of our people, ,are reported financially
"busted. The firm of Bently &
McIntire, of near Martinsburg, is
said to be heavily involved by their
failure. A large number of the
people in Wellsville and vicinity
are heavy losers, many poor people
having sold them their corn, on
which they depended for their sus'
tenance until the next crop, who
will receive nothing. The Mar
tinsburg Bank, it is reported, also
lost some, but managed to save
most OF their claim. A number
near Laddonia, the home of Nc.
Mama, are also said to be heavy
losers.

Justice to tie Merchants.

FROM the Sedalih Democrat.
In Mexico they are going to tax
''traveling merchants" and "bank'
rupp' concerns which run into the
town to get the cream of the trade
for O. short time and then skip out,
$25 per day for the privilege of do
ing business. This is simple justice
to the merchants who pay taxes,
share the public burdens and stay
with the community in dull seasons

Among the shipments of pure bred
poultry from Mexico last week
Chas. E. Storr ships a $40 trio B
B Red Games to Texas, also one B
B r Game cock to Belton, Texas,
value $40. Thoroughbred poultry
is always in demand at good prices,
and as it costs no more to raise pure
stock than "dunghills," it is won,
der that great number of poultry
raisers do not breed pure stock of
some variety, if for no other reason
than that a flock of one variety, all
uniform in size, shape and color are
more attractive than where mixed
lots are kept. Even at market a
coop of fowls all uniform in color,
etc. will invariably command higher
prices than a coop of "mongrels."
We would like to see more interest
manifested in this industry and hope
to see more thoroughbred" poultry
raisers in this county in the near fu-
ture.

RELIEF FOR POOR HAWAIIANS.
George Fairehild Will Make a Per-
sOnal Canvass for Funds.
An Idea That VIII Meet with Favor.
Hawaiian Ladies' Meet and Form
a Relief Society.

George Fairchild, the manager
Of the Makee Sugar Company, has
interested himself in behalf OF
of native Hawaiians and will make
a personal canvass today for funds
to relieve the distress among the
natives. He will go among bust
ness men and ask them to pledge
themselves for any amount they
may see fit to give. The money
thus subscribed will not be col
lected at once but will be called in
as it is required. His idea is to
have a finance committee appoint
ed, consisting of three or four bust
ness men, who will see that the
money is expended in a proper
manner.
The manner of relieving the dis
tress will be left with a number of
ladies, among whom are Mrs. ]. O..
Carter, Mrs. S. G. Allen and Mrs.
Fred. Macfarlane.
Mr.. Fairchild stated yesterday
that the natives were suffering for
food and raiment; many of them
were afraid that their clothes would
be taken from them as a sanitary
precaution and were hiding their
effects. He wants to be in a posi-
ton to tell the Hawaiians that if
any of their clothes are burned or
destroyed, the relief committee
will provide others free of charge.
The list will be headed with
Colonel Spalding's name for 800.
Mr.. Fairchild's idea is a good one
and no doubt, people who can
afford will subscribe generously.
A relief committee was formed
yesterday with Mrs. E. NJ. Naku-
ina as secretary. The following
are members Kapiolani, Mrs. F.
S. Pratt, Mrs. H. A. Widemann,
Mrs. S. G. Allen, Mrs. S. X. Hutch
ison, and Mrs. James Campbell.
Mrs. Fred. Macfarlane, Mrs. Beck
ley, Mrs. E. NJ. Nakuina, Mrs. G.
Arnold, Mrs. L. Aud and Mrs.
Haalelea compose the board of di-
rectors.
This committee will furnish food
to the poor and will be grateful for
donations of either money or pro-
visions.
