Some Boston Words.

Americans mostly know low much
they owe to Boston in the way Of exam
pies Of propriety of behavior and the use
of good grammar. Few, however, are
aware Of what Boston has done for tho
English language in the way OF actually
enriching it with new words. Mr.. c.
w. Ernst instances a number OF these
il The New England Magazine.
We find from his paper that the word
Commonwealth as applied to q coun-
try and its government was a coinage Of
the Massachusetts, colony in 1884. Aft.
erward Cromwell himself borrowed the
word for Great Britain.
Tho word town" as applied to n
neighborhood or township is also a Bos-
ton idea. So is rum" meaning an in
tcxicating drink distilled from mo.
lasses. This was first made in Bos-
ton in 1868. Boston also borrowed
from Gloucester. Mass, and brought into
common use the word "%schooner, not
meaning a large beer glass, but n coast
ing vessel. There, too, is "coasting,"
sliding down hill rapidly, now applied
to bicycles more often ever than as orig
inally to speeding down hill upon a sled
over q snow track. Boston likewise in
vented Der. " to designate boards,
planks and woods prepared for the mar
kct. Caucus" is one of her word coins
too.
Finally VIC come to Boston's most
widespread and illustrious linguistic in
vention-''papor money" In Boston
paper money was first issued and first
named July .. 1862. 2o4 years ago.

Paris has now GOO hcrseless vehicles
In daily use. They are mostly utilized
for delivery wagons. London is going
in for them with IA vim too. A city or.
dinance limits their speed in the streets
of London to 12 miles an hour fer light
carriages and 8 miles an hour for wag-
ons that weigh rs much as two tons.
This is the reading of the law, and from
its wording one may jadge that heavy
hauling motor wagons are already in
use in London streets, which is not tia
case in any American city. England has
now 10 factories that ara manuta. turing
motor wagons. They are propelled to Il
large extent by electricity. Tao United
States is behind either Trance or Great
Britain in adopting horseless vehicles.

Great crowds Joined the soldiers in hur-
raining for war and pr%oclaiming loyalty
to Greece. to King George and to the
government.
The decree summoning the remainder
Of the reserves is held back at the last
moment. The troops already on the
frontier are deemed sufficient for the
present: and more than this, 1t is be-
lieved that the presence OF foreign men,
of-war neal the Piraeus indicates that
the blockade will commence tomorrow,
thus severing communication with the
frontier by sea. The members of the
press at Athens have Joined in a dis
patch to Admiral Canevaro, command

surprise that the lives for foreign cor

EUROPE

lLOHuOu MARCH i.--Llttle else Is Cdlk-
ed about in London, in Great Britain or
on the continent than the Eastern crisis,
and the possibility OF a war between
Greece and Turkey, which may involve
the great powers Of Europe.
The officials of the foreign office here
were busy throughout Saturday night
and all day Sunday in exchanging tele-
| grams with Constantinople and other
capitals.
The French newspapers this morning
are almost unanimous in anticipating
that the Greek reply to the identical
notes OF the powers will not be a formal
refusal to abide by their decision, as
since yesterday the tone of the COM
municatiOns received from Greece by NJ.
Ranotaux, the French minister OF for
eign affairs, have been more distinctive
ly pacific. Il solution being limited at on
the basis of mutual concessions.
The semi-official Fremdenblatt OF
Vienna points out this morning that il
Is by no means certain that If Greece
provokes war with Turkey that Servia
and Bulgaria will assist her, as they
might find means and concessions from
the sultan to make a peaceful conques,
by wrestling from Greece the ecclesiasti-
cal provinces.
The Fremdenblatt reiterates that the
powers will mol capitulate TO Greece. nc
matter what pressure is brought to bear
upon them and that no one OF them will
withdraw from the threatened coercion
Of Greece.
This view of the Integrity OF the con-
cert OF the powers is supported by Con-
stantinople, which hat per-
sistent pressure is being exercised by the
ambassadors Of the powers on the Turk
ish government.
The communique addressed by the
ambassadors to the porte on Friday wae
in the form OF a memorandum, supple
menting the collective note Of Tuesday
last, and pointing out that, as the prin-
ciple of the proposed autonomy OF
Crete implied u progressive reduction OF
the Turkish forces inland, the Turkish
troops in the interior should therefore
be concentrated in the owns.
The reply Of the Turkish government,
to this collective o t is expected to be
delivered today and the representative
Of the Associated Press at Constantine
pie learns that it will stale in substance
that the porte, in taking cognizanoe OF
1t. declares to the powers Its resolve Ia
maintain the integrity Of the Ottoman
empire and accepts in principle the e.
istrRtion for the island Of Crete: but the
porte reserves the right to discuss the
precise definition OF Autonomy"

London. March S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Athens at midnight says
some Of the members of the foreign le-
cations and other foreign residents have
already left the city and 1t is reported
that several Of the legations have advis-
ed all foreigners to leave Greece. This
has caused a painful feeling on the part
Of the Greek public, which regards 1t as
an unjustifled step, as the foreigners
have been treated with all respect and
have at no time been in any danger
whatever. Moreover, a majority Of the
foreign residents are known to favor the
Greek cause.
Certainly the aspect Of the city is very
war-like, but, considering the excited
state of the public mind. the people are
behaving with moderation and exhibit
ing marked salf-cootrol.

A, O. U. w.

Omaha, Neb., March 7.-Charges OF
malfeasance and misteasance in office
have been made against Supreme Grand
Master j. G. Tate OF the Ancient Order
of United WOrkmen, and il is said to
be likely that he will be deposed from
Office at the meeting OF the supreme
lodge, which meets in Omaha sometime
in May. The lodge at Shelton. Neb.,
with which Mr.. Tate is affiliated. is re-
sponsible for these charges. No sooner
had they been made than the grand
master revoked the charter. This ac-
lion created the most intense i%ndignH-
ton and a mass convention called at
Hastings, Neb., last week, at which 40
lodges were represented, scored the
grand master for the arbitrary action.
The charges state that Mr.. Tate has
made trips to Chicago and Denver on
purely personal business and his OK
penses were later paid out OF money
belonging to the order. 1t is also alleg-
ed that the grand master travels on a
pass secured through favors extended
to the order, and charges railroad fare
to the lodge. A letter alleging that he
had moi beer duly particular about his
company when off duty in Chicago, adds
fuel to the flames.
Grand Master Tate has issued an ad-
dress to the officers and members Of this
jurisdiction, announcing his action in
appointing J. H. Erford, grand fore
man, to the chair Of grand master dur
ing his unavoidable absence from the
state. owing to matters OF importance
in connection with his Office as supreme
grand master workman. 1t was the
original intention. it Is said, OF Mr..
Tate to resign, but the Shelton affair
having grown from a mole hill into a
mountain, he feels somewhat interested
in protecting what he claims to be an
honest administration OF affairs.

WILL RETURN TO FIGHT.

Chicago. March I'm the little Greek
church on the North Side 500 trained
soldiers of the Grecian army reserves
this afternoon swore to return at the
call Of their king to fight for their ma
tive land.
The right hands Of the tall men in the
audience shot up in the air when Father
P~hiambolis. the pastor Of the church,
proposed the oath, and their smaller
neighbors waved their arms wildly in
the air, as they promised before AL
mighty God to defend the flag and the
soil OF Greece from the touch of the enc
my: to obey the commands OF the king
and his captains in all things; to die
rather than give before the face of the
enemy, and to hold themselves in In,
stant readiness to embark for the Pira-
Gus. when transports should be provid-
ed to carry them to the city OF the
king
Before the oath was given the priest
explained t the excited men the appeal
which King George sent to the Greeks
in America, calling upon them to rally
to their coIntry's mid.
The priest advised his people to ar
range their affairs and be in readiness
TO go as soon as final orders should
come.
The work OF enrolment continued
during the remainder of the afternoon
and evening all over the city, under the
direction OF the five Greek societies, and
it is expected that a force of 1.5OO or e.
600 will be reported in a day or Two.

Athens, March THE answer o.
Greece to the identical notes OF the pow
ers was discussed at a meeting Of the
cabinet and approved by King George
today. 1t is understood that the reply
is a refusal to withdraw the Greek flee
and troops from Crete on the GROUND
that the recall would be a signal for pill
age, incendiarism and murder. The
complete text Of the note will not be
known until it is presented to the am
bassadors of the powers tomorrow.
Though the exact character Of the
Greek reply to the powers is not yet
made known, it is understood that in
addition to the ground of refusal to
comply because of the fear of pillage,
incendiarism and murder in Crete, the
note points out that the Cretans, who
alone should be regarded as entitled to
determine their fate, have declared their
unalterable resolution to be annexed to
Greece as the only solution that will
finally pacify the island.
1t is stated that in view OF The contem-
plated negative reply Of Greece to the
powers, King George has sent orders to
Colonel Vassos, commanding the Greek
forces in Crete, to hold all the places
now occupied by him. The king is still
here and The date OF the departure Of the
crown prince for the frontier has not
been fixed. Every effort is being made
to concentrate the Greek troops on the
Turkish frontier before the threatened
blockade of the Greek coast can be eff
fecled.
In diplomatic circles it is said hat
the Greek answer may lead to negotia.
tons based upon a proposal for CO.
operation which has been presented by
France.
SITUATION GRAVE.
The situation of affairs here remains
grave, although there are a few signs
here and there. since yesterday. that
yet possible. This is more particularly
80 in the case OF Greece. 1t is believed
the government is sincere in not desir.
ing / start any contlagration which
may spread far and wide. The gravity
of the situation is recognized on all
sides and all those interested seem
willing to arrive at a peaceful settlement
Of the difficulties If possible.
Greece is displaying undiminished
firmness in her intention to carry out Al
all costs the programs which she has
mapped III for herself in regard toCereI
while at the same time supporting the
pacific intentions OF her advisers.
1t is stated that Prince M~aurocardate
the Greek minister at Constantinople
has addressed a note to the Turkish gov.
eminent proposing to recall the Greek
troops from The frontiers of Macedonia
and Albania. if the Turkish troops neal
The Greek frontier are simultaneously
withdrawn. The porte, however, has
not shown any haste to accede to this
proposal.
