GREEK WOMEN ARE THANKFUL
They Express Their Gratitude for the
Help Given Them by Ameri-
can Sisters.

It seems so long since brave little
Greece defied the powers of Europe and
undertook to combat single-handed
with the Turk that the American wom-
en-, who have had many things on their
minds since then, have almost forgot
ten the part they took in the affair. But
the Greek women have not forgotten it,
and their American representative,
Scion J. Vlasto, recently returned from
Athens to New York with the commits
sion of conveying their thanks to those
who helped them last year.
II cannot find language strong
enough" Mr.. Vlasto said, ''to express
the feeling of the Greek women for the
Americans. During the war the queen
publicly expressed her gratitude at the
meeting of the Union of Greek Women;
and the president and everyone con-
nected with the union begs me to con-
vey their message Of thanks to those
who so generously helped them"
Since the close. of the war the Greek
women have continued their organiza-
ton and are finding plenty to do in
caring for widows and orphans and for
Thessalian refugees. They recently ex-
ported a quantity of Greek goods to
London to be sold for the benefit of the
refugees at the Greek bureau of indus
tries, of which the princess of Wales is
patroness. At the suggestion of the
king they have also started a fund for
the widows and orphans of the war,
and his majesty has handed over. to
them for this purpose $4,000 from the
funds that have been sent to him from
different foreign countries for philan-
thropic uses. Everyone from the king
down to his humblest subject fully rec
ognizes the value of the work the wom-
en- did during the war, and Mr.. Vlasto is
Of the opinion that it was more and
better than that Of the men. Y.

equity" Bennett, a white boy aged 20
years, and who recently escaped from the
chain-gang, was in police court yesterday
charged with stealing three overcoats, two
of which belonged to Mr.. I. a. Solomons4
Considerable stealing had been going on
of late and the police seemed to know who
was doing it, Chief McDermott was aware
of the thief and every time a report came
to the barracks, he would tell the detec-
tives to watch out for Guilty Bennett.
1t is always the same story" said the
chief in speaking Of the lads arrest.
when these fellows break from prison
and come here, just as soon as reports be-
gin to come in, we know who is doing the
work, The professional gang can be
known by the fact they are Old, experience
ed, and people never can catch them, nor
give us any clue. A young thief not
well up in his work, is generally caught
in the ACT, or soon will be. But the pro-
fessionals know how to keep out of the
way They rob and the only thing that
can be reported to us Is what they take.
L nave noticed that one of the profession
ais can escape from the chain-gang and
when stealing begins ana nobody seems
able to tell weather the thief is white or
black, we know right away the escape is
in Savannah, and then the detectives start
for him.
There was little trouble catching Ben

I'm Eight Tears-An Electrical In
epectOr Recommendations De-
partment Wants a Fire Boat.
Fire Chief Mcguire made his annual re-
port to the fire commission yesterday, and
in connection with the commissions re-
port. it will likely reach the Mayor to-
morrow.
Chief Mcguire goes into details in the
report which is a voluminous document
and is considered one Of the most COM
plete filed by the department for years
Much time has been devoted by the chief
to preparing the report. Among the feat
ures in which he seems to have departed
from the time-worn path, is the practice
of devoting about two-thirds of the report
to recommendation as what should be
changed The only places he touches on
these matters is in recommending the APP
pointment Of an electrical inspector and
intimating that the hremen deserve an
Increase of salary.
There are seventy men in the department
who are regularly paid, and ten volunteers
who are members of hose company No. l,
on Waldburg street. In the year just past
one of these resigned, two died, and eleven
were dismissed for cause. The service in
cludes the best men obtainable. who are
thoroughly examined as to their physical
qualifications, as wen as on subjects re-
-l.-- fl.,t or1TT
be expected to possess as fremen.
That part of the report relating to the
expenses of the department shows con-
servative adninist ration Of affairs and an
accounting for every dollar spent. in
round numbers the money spent during
the year was S65 al 20. This includes
petty cash expenditure for such incidentals
as We're needed from time TO time, all
the expenses incident TO keeping up the
fire alarm system. IL also includes So
$3.50, devoted &c Improvements in the de,
partment, among which was the purchase
of a combination hose and chemical wag-
on, new hook ana ladder truck for en-
CINE company No. 1, eight additional
horses, two compound gongs and indicl-
tors for Nos i and , engine houses and
all additional fire alarm boxes placed over
the city during the year. There is now
in the department forty-two horses and
14,500 feet Of hose The chief recommends
the purchase of 200 additional feet of hose
TO take the place of the same amount on
which the guarantee has expired. The
value of all equipment, the report shows,
Is $l60,74l.2O
The fire loss for the year. which forms
the most important item of the report,
Is far less than that of former years, and
places Chief Maguire's record above that
OF any other chief in the South. The
percentage of loss was very low, and the
pride of the department feels in view OF
the fact that the reports of the past ten
years do not touch it. is certainly pardon
able. The following is a comparative
statement of the losses since 1889:

A scandal involving two officers
IN the Ninth Regiment of New
York, in camp at Chickamauga,
has come to light. 1t is charged
by a former captain in the reg
lment that fraudulent enlistments
have been made, and that at least
two OF the non-commissioned Off
GERS stood their physical examina-
ton by proxy; that is, two sound
men were dressed in their uni
forms, gave their names and went
before the surgeon, who. passed
them. The matter has been
brought 80 the attention of the
authorities, and an investigation
will be held.

CUBAN SOLDIERS.

The following estimate Of the
Cuban soldier from the Chicago
Chronicle is truthful and accu-
rate:
They would certainly make a
mess of administering the affairs
of province. As a matter of
fact, the Cuban patriot is now an
admitted failure. He is lazy, he
is shiftless, he is cruel and the
weight of testimony appears to in
dictate that he is cowardly. He
won't fight except from behind a
tree, and he has no particular
stomach for it even under those
circumstances. What on earth
we are to do with him after the
Spaniards have been chased out of
Cuba is a question that may we'll
give the administration sleepless
nights. To turn the island over
to a gang of thieving cut throats
will be to incur the just resent
ment of the civilized world.
