1t has occurred to me, that no fnconsid-

Is due to that great company Of past

the tangle resulting from the transfer OF
sewer receipts by the last council.

The great interest in Greece aroused
by the plucky position the little country
now occupies has served to call atten.
ton to the fact that Greece has no
minister in Washington. There was a
Greek minister in Washington a few
years ago, and there is little mystery
connected with his early departure
for home on "leave of absence" which
has never expired. Some say that the
Greek government concluded that it
could not afford to keep minister and
legation in Washington and quietly
withdrew by the "leave. of-absence
route, but the story most believed in
Washington is that the Minister, who
adhered to the Greek costume at all
times. left in a dudgeon because be was
followed around the streets by hood
lums and idlers and comments made
upon his appearance.
