ONE FREE MAN.

During a fiVe-year sojourn in Ger
many | saw only one Englsh-speaking
foreigner who was able to behave as
he pleased and not be subject to re-
peated annoyances from active or re-
serve officers. He was an Australian.
He swung into town with the air of
sole owner of the whole Neckar val
lev. He was six feet tall and of ro-
bust build, and wore no braces. AS he
strode up and down the Anlage
among officers, students, and profes-
sors, he had a free athletic way of
hitching his trousers occasionally and
of letting his body roll. Although the
best tempered man in the world ac-
cording to American or English stand
ards, he might we'll have been tagged
with red for the information of any
body who would seek to bully him. He
had, in fact, the primitive American
notion that it was better to fight, no
matter how, than to run, and his man
ner betrayed his style of thought. One
of the first times he went to Haeber-
lein's he and two officers reached a
billiard table at the same time, but he
took possession of the balls and made
the preliminary shots with his English
friend The officers stood by hesitat-
ing whether to make a scene or not,
and the Englishman remarked ironi-
cally, but in subdued tones, that the
Australian might better look out that
the officer did not unsheath.
IF any -- man ries to run me
through, I'll break him in two so
---- quick that the - bully will
never know what struck his
body, him"
The Australian was the most fluent
man with unprintable English that had
visited Heidelberg for many years, and
the two officers could not fail to under
stand the fact, for English profanity is
a Volapuk that everybody on the con-
tinent understands; yet there was no
trouble. When the spring fair came

Nashville, Tenn, June 3.-(Special)-
The Governor and party began the day
by visit to Governor Taylor at the capt.
tol here. They were most cordially re-
ceived and escorted over the building. In
the afternoon the party seated in tally
no coach visited the famous Belle-mead
stock farm about six miles from the city,
and they were hospitable entertained by
General w. II. Jackson, the owner who
is warm personal friend of Major
Hayes. General Jackson called upon
Major Hayes Immediately upon arrival
of the party in Nashville and extended
the invitation to visit the farm. Several
members of Governor Taylor's staff ac-
companied the party and the drive was
perhaps one of the finest to be found in
America. The party was met by Gem

The Georgia Offices.

For weeks Georgia newspapers have
been giving a great deal of attention to
the applicants for the federal Offices in
this state. They have published states
made up by local republican bosses. and
also numerous and lengthy dispatches
from Washington containing the opinion
of Mr.. Buck and others as to who will
be the fortunate applicants. They have
been giving more attention to this class
of news than 1t is worth, especially as no.
body knows who will get the offices, and
as the chances are that there will be no
appointments made for several months.
The statement has been published, as
coming from the President, that no at
tention will be given to appointments un-
til after the end of the extra session of
congress. The extra session will last I'M
til June, and it may be until August No
body can predict with any degree of GER
tainty how long congress will be in pass
ing a tariff bill. 1t might be well, there
fore. for the office seekers to cease for
awhile worrying over their prospects for
being taken care of.
There are no small places to fill, except
fourth class postmasterships. All such
offices have been placed within the civil
service rules, and the number of impor-
taut offices is very small There is no
probability that the civil service law will
be changed. Mr.. Mckinley is much in
favor of that law as Mr.. Cleveland is. He
is much more likely to extend it's opera
tons than to recommend that it be limi-
ted in its application. The few offices
that Georgia republicans will get do not
justify the startling head lines which the
papers are putting on news items relating
to those offices.

-Saverio Altamura, one Of the last of
the Neapoitan romantic school of paint
ers, has just died. He was a poet and an
author as well. He took part in the rev.
olution of 1913 and was exiled from Ma
pies until the Bourbons were driven out.

The Cream Wnr Cloud.

What is to be the outcome of the Gre
tan revolt against Turkish rule? No man
can answer that question. The six great
powers of Europe have ordered Greece to
withdraw her troops from Crete. They
gave her six days from the date of the
order to comply with 1t, and announced
that in the event Of her refusal they
would use force to compel compliance.
Greece has refused to comply with the
order. The withdrawal of her troops from
Crete. she declares, would be followed by
the greatest massacre of modern times.
What course will the great powers take?
They must either back down or exc
cute their threat to use force. But If the
great powers should send their fleets to
blockade the Piraeas and attack the
Greek fleet or the Greek force in Crete,
would public opinion in Europe sustain
them? We do not think it would. In
England and France and Italy there
would be such an outburst of Indignation
that the ministries would have to change
their policy or resign. Christian people
in those countries would not tolerate a
policy in support of the Turks since no
step was taken in defense of the Arme-
MAN Christians when thousands of them
We're being masascred in Armenia by

If Greece remains firm, and the indi-
cations are that she will, there will be
troublous times in Europe very soon.

why OIney Was Absent.

Those who are always on the lookout
for sensations were quite certain on
Thursday, when Secretary Olney did not
appear at the inaugural ceremonies at the
capitol with other members Of the cabinet,
that there had been a rupture of the
friendly relations between him and the
President. They Immediately invented a
reason of the alleged rupture. declaring
that II related to Cuban matters. At
once they set afloat the story that Mr..
Oiney. in making up the record of the cor
respondence relating to the Ruiz and SEQ
veil cases for the use of the Senate, had
severely criticised Consul General Lee for
demanding warships, and that Mr.. Cleve-
land disappearing of the attack upon Gen.
Lee had refused to permit that part of the
record to go to the Senate, and that Sec
rotary Olney had Immediately resigned.
That was quite story, and made a SEN
sational newspaper item. 1t would have
been important II 1t had been true, but
according to our dispatches yesterday, it
wasn't true. The absence of Mr.. Olney
was due to the failure of the committee
of arrangements to provide seats for the
cabinet. 1t seems that all the members of
the cabinet had decided not to attend the
ceremonies at the capitol, because they
thought they had been treated dscour-
teously by the committee of arrangements.
When Mr.. Mckinley was at the white
house in the morning, waiting for Mr..
Cleveland to accompany him to the capt
toll, he noticed the absence of the cabinet,
and being informed the cause of it he re-
quested Mr.. Sherman, the chairman of the
committee of arrangements, TO have the
necessary seats in the Senate chamber
provided for the cabinet. All the members
Of the cabinet except Mr.. Olney were noti-
fed that arrangements had been made for
the accommodation of the cabinet Mr..
Olney was not notified because It was not
known where he was. AS a matter OF
fact he was at the state department, at
tending to an important diplomatic mat
ter. It appears. therefore, that his alb
sence from the Inauguration ceremonies
was not due TO rupture OF his relations
with Mr.. Cleveland but to neglect on the
part of the committee having charge OF
the inauguration arrangements. What
a pity 1t is that the desire for sensations
leads to the invention of so many false
hoodsl

Modern Conveniencea.

Modern conveniences' are decisions
and snares," said prominent West Phil
adelphian to the Philadelphia Record. "A
certain real estate agent claimed that the
houses he had for rent near Forty-ninth
street and Chester avenue were fun of
such conveniences, Upon his recommen-
dation my friend George Uroe moved into
one of these houses. Things moved along
smoothly the first few days, and the fam
lily arranged to have a few intimate
friends spend Sunday with them. An ex-
ira dinner had been prepared, and all
seemed WELL and when Mrs. Uroe ordered
dinner served. Now, the kitchen was in
the basement, so, after all the necessary
articles were ready, they were placed on
the dumb waiter and the machinery start
when there was whirring noise and
sudden stoppage. All attempts TO either
raise or lower the waiter were frutless,
so Mr.. Uroe, who thought he located the
point OF stoppage as being behind a panel
in the stairway, decided to chop IL out.
After working half an hour Mr.. Uroe
found that the envied dinner was just be-
yond reach. II being Sunday all of the
stores were closeda and as the Uroes
knew none of the rieighbors, things look
ed desperate. Some one suggested that
all hands go to a hotel for the day, and
this idea was carried out. On Monday,
after counting the hotel expenses of the
crowd. the carpenters charge for replace
ing the panel and the cost of the lost
dinner Mr. Uroe made a call on the
agent, and the house is again for rent.
