Political Meetings.

The republican meeting Tuesday
evening was largely attended, but
marred by an intensely dirty anecdote.
A. A. Doub, A. M. Hancock and G. A.
Pearre were the speakers.
Mr.. Murphy, l. N. p. Kelly and
James A. Wright spoke at the demo-
cratic (O meeting Thursday evening.
Mr. Murphy madea very good speech.
But when Nj. Kelly numbered the
JOURNAL felt sure he was about to
open a recruiting office for the knights
of Labor. He said "I'm No Politician,
but we in Baltimore think it best for
you to vote for Hurst" or words to
that effect. Next came the "silver-
tongued' Wright for nearly an hour.
In that time he clammed more mis-
statement, sophistry and inhuman
language than a Frosthurg audience
ever before heard. Mr.. Wright's name
is James A. But when he goes home
he should drop the good old James,
part his name in the middle, and here
after write it j. Always Wrong. AT
10 o'clock d. F. McMullen. with man
ifest joy, announced that it was all
over. And so what was everything
except democratic meeting adjourn
ed. Music kindly omitted.
The prohibitioniSts will hold mass
meeting this evening III one of the halls.
Fine speaking promised.

WHO TO SERVE FIRST.

A question of considerable contrO-
yersy at present it, who should be
served first at the dinner" In these
days when fads and fancies abound
to such IN alarming degree regarding
tableware, the knowledge Of the use of
the various forks, spoons and other
table accessories has become almost an
art. and the observance at one dinner
does not carry a novice successfully
through the next. Etiquette forbids
one guest waiting for another to be
served, so ne must not stand upon the
order Of his eating, but eat at once,
and, if perchance he use his ice cream
fork in disposing Of the salad, sooner
or later confusion is his. This diff
Guilty is obviated by serving the host
eSs first. While it does not smack Of
true politeness for the hostess to eat
while guests are waiting to be served,
it paves the way for the uninftiated in
the intricacies Of table belongings and
their usage. This conventionality is
usually waived to do honor to the
guest of distinction for whom the Gin
her is given.

OUR DUTY TO GREECE.

In common with all civilized people
we owe an incalculable debt to old
Greece. To the living Greece we can
make some return in a generous ma
tiOna1 sympathy. And we can lend a
hand in his distress. We can buy mis-
silks, finer than Penelope ever spun.
We can order his marbles, for DrOsi-
nos and BrCutos have revived the
traditions of classical sculpture and
Parian and Pertelic breathe again.
We can travel in Greece and get a
larger yield Of felicity on a given out
lay than in any other country in the
world. And we can go in for the
Olympic games next year, sure of a
royal welcome and laurel crowns. We
can give, too, an unstinted support to
our schools at Athens. Then we might
send a minister to Greece without re-
quiring him to straddle the Balkans
and represent us at rival, if not hos
tile. courts. He must be ShreWd dip
lomat who shall gracefully carry
Panhellenism on one shoulder and
PansliviSm on the other But we
should first take off our tax on Greek
urrants-the one eve lamb Of Greek
revenue. Then we shall have a better
right to chide the Turk for his blood

UNCLE SAM ROBBED.
Great Case of Under-ValuatioE De-
tected in New York.

New York, April pa disclosure
IN a great case of differentiation at
the custom house is causing collector
of the port, James @. Kilbreth. much
annoyance. The amount of under
yalua ton is said to be 100000. The
matter briefly stated is that O. l..
Sypher, importer of antique furniture,
has been importing goods at greatly
under-valued rates. 1t was brought to
the notice of the customs authorities
through a discharged employee of the
firm, L. II. Todd. The firm, Todd de-
clares, was continually importing low
ing cups, trays, in fact all kinds of sill
yer as old silver, and paying duty on
old silver. These goods were worth
ten times more than the valuation.
Special Deputy Dudley Phelps, who
is Investigating the matter, says the
official upon whom the opprobrium is
cast is said to be Eugene Honeywell.
He is said to have been in collision
with the firm. He has been in the de-
partment for fifteen years. While the
case is a serious one, Phelps is in
clined to think that the charges against
Honeywell will prove to be nothing
more than negligence. Sypher was to
have sailed for Europe today, but Col.
Phelps is authority for the statement
that he will not depart.

The extraordinary part was that the

the British consul with my report. and
he thought proper to take charge OF
him to England in a British man-of-

said:
''He must have brought the augur

The trust made arrangements for the
control of both prices and output, and
began operations with vim by order

good faith, the money to be forfeited
if any of the concerns rules are
broken.
The rules provide that the secretary
Of the trust shall be permitted to eX-

is the income that comes to the occu-

WHEAT GOING UP.
Shorts Frightened by the Sudden Rise
in the Market

Chicago, April 19.-EXcited shorts
are scared by the increasing exports
and diminishing receipts which drove
the price Of May wheat up one cent.
Corn followed reluctantly, gaining a
quarter Of a cent. Oats closed un-
changed for May. The most sensa-
tional feature OF the Cay was Il report
on exchange that all the big houses in
trade had promptly called the Part
ridge ten per cent. margins on all Of
his short trades. The same story gave
it out that the houses got the said
margins very promptly and more than
they asked for. 1t is supposed that
the calling of the margins was more
to brighten the big shorts into cover
ing than because of any reason of any
sense of insecurity.
