We must say that we admire the
spunk Of the Greeks. In George, the
king, we are not 80 much surprised,
for he comes of good old Danish stock.
He would not be the son Of King
Christian of that doughty Norseland
had he acted other than he has done.
The Greeks ere on the right side of
the fence, 1t would be poor humani-
tartan who could side with the six
powers in their espousal OF the Turks.
Their prostestations Of honor at the
Armenian massacres are given the lie
by their present conduct. For the al
legged sake Of keeping the European
concert in pitch they are willing to let
the Turkish wolves run wild over the
island of Crete. We have no sympathy
for this political folly. It is selfish and
craven. II the balance Of power is TO
be maintained by such methods its end
is not far off, for no political system
founded upon inhumanity can last
Greece is plucky and we admire her
pluck. Here's to her unqualified sue

1t is with pardonable pleasure that we
refer at this time to the wonderful Jump
into popular favor that THE EVENING
TRIBUNE has taken in the past three
months under the present management.
1t might be of interest to state that daily
average of 1000 votes were cast in the school
teachers contest, which closed Friday last.
The daily circulation of THE EVENING
TRIBUNE at the present time is 1000 more
than 1t was three months ago, when the
papsr was issued for the first time under
thelp resent management.
Its rapid strides in circulation is quite
unprecedented in the newspaper history of
Pawtucket. Having all the elements of
value The EVENING TRIBUNE is gain
ing ground in all directions every day.
When you get ready to say something
about your business, keep in mind the fact
hat the TRIBUNE reaches tho people ad-
vertisers wish to reach.

shown into O waiting room, giving plenty
of evidence Of the rude occupants Of the

stool and the ministers walked up and

The Gunboat Princeton Launched.

Camden, N. j., June THE United
States composite screw gunboat Prince
ton has been successfully launched
from the yards at Kaignan's point.
Miss Margaret Updike, the daughter of
Major Updike, of Princeton, christened
the vessel, breaking the bottle of wine
over the prov as the craft glided grace
fully down the ways.
The Princeton is one of feet of six
