To understand the rholcmCnal rise
OF Greece we must bear in mind that.
though the Greeks had been miseIahly
downtrodden by the Turks for 400 years;
the best hope of the people, borne hy an
unholy tribute far away from their
mothers homes and trained into the
tools Of am inhuman tyranny, and
though, had it not been for the "unto-
ward event at Navarino, the whole
population Of The Morea would have
been exterminated beneath the merciless
tramp Of Turkish hoofs there, never
theless, lived behind the outward show
of slavish dChasCment a heart of sturdy
independence that cherished the patriot
ic memories of ages and seized eagerly
on every chance that might enable il TO
stand before the world i'm the attitude
and character that had given it the
most prominent place in the history of
the human race.
The two years struggle that gave to
Greece the right TO look Europe in the
face, rs noble people determined to
die rather than live the slaves of n
hateful tyranny. at the same time gave
TO Europe the assurance that Greece
was living Greece again, and Christian
conscience and classic memories COM
bined, when once the yoke was broken,
to enable the Greeks 20 show 70 the
world that in spite of the hombshells
of Venice and the sabcrs of Turkey, not
only should Greek mother bear sons
TO grow up free from the rapine of Turk
ish hands, but desolate Athens should
rise to her old position, and, along
with Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aber-
deen, assert its place among famous En-.
rope n cities that combine commercial
enterprise with cultivated intelligence.
IL was this noble patriotic pride that, in
the short sraCo of half century, turned
the little ruined village into a an impos
ing city. Professor John Stuart Black,

All the globes having arrived for the
new electric arc lights. New Castle was
brilliantly lighted last night until II
o'clock as the current was turned on
early in the evening TO test the new
system.
II was a complete success, so fer as
the inexperienced observer could de-
termine The ghts burned steadily
and with remarkable freedom from the
nickering and sputtering that was char
acteristic of the arc lights first intro
duced here by the manufacturing es-
tablishments
Beside the electric lights all the
Welsbach gas lights were burning. and
the town was as bright as the fines
snowy moonlight night. The Welsbacb
lights were thought to be pure and
white, but ley paled into insignfi-
cance under the powerful arc lights
that shown out in all their infant lus-
tire.
Everybody who could get out appear
ed on the streets walking about and
greeting friends on the opposite side OF
the thOrOughfares. At the Jefferson
House corner some boys made rings OF

and keep them burning every nigh

Just what the New Castle Gas Com

monthly bill has never been submitted
to Council since the electric light agi

some older actor to take him aside and
impress him with the enormous diff
culties Of delivering that sentence cor
