Greeks in New York City.

OF the 1000 Greeks who form the
Hellenic colony in New York City
fewer than 200 are women, and only
small proportion of these are pure
Greek in blood. The Greeks who
come to America are, with few excep-
tions, shepherds or farmers, with now
and then sailor. The former take
to the pushcart life at once. The new
conner is taken care of on his landing
by friends from his own locality. 1t
is the boast of the Greeks that none of
their nationality has ever applied to
the city for aid. No matter how poor
they be, no matter how their savings
may have been absorbed by repeated
arrests for violating city ordinances,
they will find some way to help
brother in need.

in square lapels at each side of the

fitted Innings that close in centre

Youthful Pessimist.

serves among her treasures the COM

ness of the boys life may be conjec-
tured from his words.
The subject given was "Anticipa-

Dictionaries were diligently con-
suited, and the general vote placed

anticipation is when You think
about things beforehand. If it's hav-
ing your teeth out, that isn't much
fun; and if it's Sunday school picnics,
you can't help worrying about the
weather.
Retaliation is when the things
you've thought about beforehand hap
pen. Having your teeth out is little
worse than thinking about il. Sunday
school picnics would be nice if it didn t
rain, but when it rains they put them
off; and then the day they have them,
generally you can't go.

A Crucial Test.

Courage, mani"
As he spoke, Hatterson slapped his
friend Plankington on the shoulder,
and tried thereby to instill some
spirit into that detected individual.
''My dear fellow" he said, "you
must brace up. I know how hard it
is, but in supreme moment like this,
if we but make the effort, it is sur
pri ing how many resources we can
call up that hitherto have remained
latent. You are about 10 undergo

tale, surely you will not now fall"
A look OF grim determination came
over the other mans face. He stood
up straight once more, and his eyes
flashed fire.
"Old man." he said, 81 thank you.
You have given me courage. I'll do
it, no matter how much suffer-" and
he strobe away in the direction of his
own house, prepared to help receive
the guests at his wife's first afternoon

And little leaven of prayer,
A little bit of sunshine gold
Dissolved in morning air.

ship on the death. last year, Of the
old Malietoa. Somoan kings. in ac-
cordance with their old-time customs,
are elected by the people. There
seems to be no doubt Of the truth of
the German contention that Mataafa
received a large majority Of the votes.
The general act Of Berlin. however,
makes the decision of the chief JUS
tice on the question Of the selection
of the king final, beyond any further
appeal. Chief Justice Chambers,
after a long hearing of the case, found
Mataafa ineligible under the act Of
Berlin, and gave his judgement there
fore in favor Of the younger candidate.
The followers of Mataafa, still abetted
by the German consul, Rose, the
German president Of the municipal
council Of Apis. and all the German
element of the foreign population, re-
fused to accept the judgment of the
court, made war upon the alarmed
followers Of the young Malietoa. and
installed Mataafa as king. This, Of
course, was a revolutionary proceed
ing. On account Of the strength Of
the followers of Mataafa there vas
nothing to do for a time but to accept
the arrangement as a provisional one
until there was a sufficient physical
force to sustain the chief justice.
The United States sent the warship
Philadelphia, under command of,,Ad-
miral Albert Kautz, who arrived on
March 6, and at once laid a calm but
exceedingly firm hand upon the stu
alton. He issued a proclamation, re-
stored the authority of the chief JUS
tice, enthroned Malietoa, and joined
the English in vigorously defending
the situation when the followers Of
Mataafa took to the war-path.
Marines and sailors were landed from
the Philadelphia and the English
ships, and the Englishmen and the
Americans fought side by side against
large bodies OF natives. There was
an ugly rumor that Mataaia was o.
tanning arms and ammunition from the
German warship. 1t is best not to
believe this until there is unmistaka-
bic proof. Unfortunately, on April
4th a party of British and Americans
numbering l05 was ambushed on a
German plantation with the alleged
active aid of the German planter by
about 800 natives. In the fierce fight
that followed several sailors and
officers, some being American and
some English, were killed. This
event at first stirred up a dangerous
ly angry feeling against Germany.
But the conclusion was soon reached
that it would be well to wait for all
the facts.-Rcricw of ReuieWs.

GladeVille College.

WISE, Va, May 6.-The Board of
Directors of Gladeyille College met
at Wise, Va, on April 25th, aud
proceeded to the election of a faculty
for next session.
Prof. G. Y. Chapman was re-elect-
ed President. He has been in charge
of the school for seven years; and his
reelection is quite a compliment to
him, and e%vinces the confidence of
the directors in his management of
the school.
Miss Leila E. Beatty, who has had
charge of the intermediate grades in
the college for six years, received a
like fiattering compliment, in being
reelected for the seventh year.
Mrs. T.. q. Hutchinson, nee Miss
Greear, having severed her connec-
ton with the college, Mrs. Mamie
Kilgore, wife Of Rev. G. w. Kilgore,
was elected to succeed her in charge
of the primary grades.
Mrs. Charles Kilgore, nee Miss
Sheppe, having declined a reelection
as music teacher, that position is now
open for applicants; and the board
will be glad to correspond with any
thoroughly competent person, with
regard to the place. a person who
could give lessons in art as well as
music, teaching both thoroughly,
could do very well here. The music
class under certain conditions, largely
of the teachers own making, would
alone pay a very good salary; but
the two combined would undoubtedly
pay well. The remaining teachers
will be elected at a later meeting.
Steps were taken looking to the
acquisition of from three to five acres
ofland adjoining the college property,
as an addition to the campus; which,
if successful, will give the school
ample grounds for games of all kinds,
including base ball.
The Directors are mani(esting great
interest in their school, and will spare
no effort to increase its facilities in
every possible way.
The commencement exercises for
the current session will begin with
sermon by Rev. j. B. Craft, of Rye
Cove, Va, on Sunday, May Dist.
Monday and Tuesday, both day and
night, the students will entertain the
public; and on Tuesday, DR.. Nat L.
Dulaney, Of Bristol, will deliver his
famous lecture on "Mirth and
Melody" The address before the
literary societies will be delivered
Monday by Hon. James S. Browning,
of Pocahontas, Va.
An interesting occasion is expect
ed, and all who feel an interest in
education are invited to attend.
Yours truly,
