Basket Bali.

The last game Of basket ball last Satur-
day night with the Germantown Y. M. G.
A. Reserves resulted in the one-sided score
of 81 to in favor of Germantown. The
Germantown boys put up a good, clean
game and did all the scoring. even the one
point for Co. E being accidentally done by
one of the Germantown defenses.
Company E, although defeated ought to
know more about basket ball than they did
before, as Germantown gave them several
new points on the game.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

Ali the members were present at the
stated meeting of Council last Tuesday
evening. After the minutes of the last
meeting had been approved, Mr.. Best Of
the Finance Committee presented ex-
Treasurer Readings statement of the con-
dition of the School Fund, and of the
Deptford Trust Fund, which was received
and referred back to the Finance Committee
for audit.
He further reported that the Committee
deemed it unwise to issue full tax warrants
from 1873 to '95, until the expert had COM
pleted his work. and they were proved and
verified. The Committee would then ask
that number of poll assessments on the
warrant of 93, on persons who had never
paid any tax, be RENTED, and warrants
issued for only the collectable assessments
as it seemed useless to issue warrants in
such cases. Remittances were ordered of
taxes amounting to $36.71, where assess
ment had been improperly made or the
parties moved away. One of the items
being an assessment to Beulah Jones, who
had never owned or had title to the prop
erty. He then moved that the Finance
Committee issue new warrants to the Col
lector for such taxes as they think can be
collected. Carried

Greece and the Turk.

Since my first visit to Greece, 20 years
ago, have watched the life and progress
of her people, and know few things that
are more encouraging. Despite all the
vexations to which their guardians have
subjected them, and all the obstacles they
have thrown in their way, despite also
their own natural shortcomings they have
shown, in both material and spiritual
things, all the virtues Of q progressive and
civilized people. Their country, left them
desert by the Turks, has become, to a
large extent, productive and beautiful.
The population, now 1900, 600, has dou-
bled in the last 20 years. In 1877 there
were hardly 100 miles of carriage roads,
and only miles of railway in the whole
country. Today there are roads every
where and hundreds of miles of railway.
In 1877 1t was hardly possible for the trav-
eler to find bed outside Athens. Today
there are numerous hotels, with all Euro
pean conveniences, in all the principal cit
les and towns.
But the true test and proof Of Greece s
indomitable spirit of culture is her educa-
tional system. By that she stands or falls
have visited Greek schools throughout
the length and breadth of the land, from
the infant school kept by the peasant in
the open air, against sunny howell wall,
to the arksakeion, or girls academy, and
the noble university, with 1900 students,
which now grace and honor the city of
Athens. Any one who will do the same,
and listen to the records of the sacrifices
made by rich and poor for the sake of edu-
cation and culture, will not doubt for a
moment that Greece is amply able to gov
ern and civilize the lands now marred and
wasted by Turkish misrule. The sums of
money given by rich Greeks for schools
and the hardships undergone by the chill
dren of the poor in remote districts to avail
themselves of these have no parallel any
where save In the United States and Scot.

Who dares assert Of such people that 1t
Is not capable of ruling its ancient patri-
mony-the first home of liberty-better
than the barbarous Turk OF the despotic
Russian? There Is but one just, benef-
cent, and effective solution of the eastern
question, and that Is the restoration Of the
Greek empire to Greece and the placing OF
great civilized power, such as neither
Turkey nor Russia can ever be, as guard
ian of the bridge between Europe and
Asia.-Professor Thomas Davidson in

The vice President and the Senators.

Vice President Hobart has already cap.
tured the senate, and the senate appears to
have already captivated him. If he were
not vice president he would like to be a
senator, and the senators would be glad to
have him actually one of their number.
As vice president he Is an outsider, not be.
ing even allowed to look on in the caucus
of the senators of his own party, although,
Of course, he has the duties of presiding
officer and casting a vote on tie. sup
pose tho vice president might, unofficially
and personally, offer his suggestions by
way of advice to the caucus committee OF
his own party, but 1t would be received
merely as q matter of courtesy and not as
in any way binding.
The vice president likes so much to listen
to the speechmaking that he seldom leaves
the chair, unlike his predecessors, who al.
ways took an hour off for lunch, and fol
the rest of the time were out of the chair
almost as much as they were in it, except
when really interesting or important pro
ceedings were under way. An apple or two
is all the luncheon that Vice President Ro
bart eats, so that he does not go down tc
the restaurant at all, and, unless he is call
ed out of the chamber to see some impor.
tant visitor in his own office back of the
senate, he sits in the chair from the blind
chaplain's prayer at noon until whatever
time adjournment comes.
His frank, simple, pleasant manners re-
semble those of Vice President Stevenson,
although they are northern, while his were
southern, and he bids fair to have as strong
hold upon the affections of the senate as
did Vice President Stevenson, and that is
saying great deal, for he was the mos
popular vice president of our times. .-Bos

that, while he found store open, the pro-
prietor could not sell him thing, as 1t
was after hours and he was afraid Of
boycott.
This announcement caused more or less
wild defamation, especially when Goddard
pulled out q necKtie and quietly remarked
that he took it when the proprietor was2't
looking and would pay him for it in tho
morning. 10 was not until Goddard had
fished out two more, similarly abstracted
from the store, that Becker agreed to at
tend the ball. Then he discovered that he
needed a shave.

his hands behind the chair and went at
him with lawn mower razor. 1t was 20

the scrape, through which Becker yelled
and swore and shed tears, a man from the
next room came In and asked:
"What In thunder are you tearing the

This did not disturb the imperturbable
Yerkes one bit, but it made Becker swear,
plead and threaten all the harder. Never
theless Yerkes held his victim down and
shaved him to finish. Then ho remarked
"I haven't any bay rum, or, in fact, any
thing to put on that countenance, Becker,
but want to say that the face would turn
an edge on q corncutter. If it hadn't
been for the fact that the barber shops
were all closed and there'd been danger of
