from visiting Morocco City. They sent
word that the matters at issue could be

that Mr.. Gummere would not be welcome

But Mr. Gummere had his instructions,
and notified the Minister Of Foreign Al

Then came the action of the Grand Nizier
and the Minister Of Foreign Affairs which
has given offence to the United States
They threatened that if Mr.. Gummere
started for Morocco City the capital would
be moved to some other place and would

They said that if Mr.. Gummere managed
to reach Morocco city he would have the
trouble of a journey for nothing for the
Sultan. the Grand Vizier, the Minister or
Foreign Affairs, and everybody in author
ity would have departed.
Naturally Mr.. Gummere was angry.
He reported to the State Department
what the Grand Nizier and the Minister
OF Foreign Affairs had said, and after
considerable deIiberation it was decided
to send instructions to him TO demand an
. apology. Mr.. Gummere will notify the
Sultan, the Grand NiZler, ana the MINIS
ter Of Foreign Affairs that he is coming
and that they must wait for him. If they
stay and apologize for threatening not
to stay. the incident will be closed in a
manner satisfactory to the United States.
The Government officials are not prepar-
ed to say what viii follow in the event
they do not wait for Mr.. Gummere.
The specific reason given by the De

apology is that the Grand Vizier

Many of the suggestions come from

large, tin-lined baskets, in which the
soiled dishes may be packet In the
dining room or buffers pantry. An
other hint is that the work Of kitch-

The French kitchens are models In
this respect, and the apartment kitch-
ems Of the city copy them. The aver
age basement kitchen is too large; at
least It's working center should be
confined to a much more restricted
place. Cover the tables with zinc, as
they are then much more easily
cleaned and afford a smooth surface
for work; see that the kitchen table
is sufficiently high. that the cook need

BUSY WOMAN ON THE BOwERY.

In the midst Of the noisy revelry OF
the Bowery, woman sat in front of
a saloon in the light Of an electric
lamp, knitting, the other night. Jeer-

and women passed and repassed, but
the placid expression Of her face did
not change, says the New York Press.
Half-drunken sailors with tawdily
dressed girls lurched against her, but
she did not drop stitch. Blear-eyed
men loafed in the doorway and hun
cry and sodden creatures pursued
their ways Of wickedness or misfor-
tune, but the woman remained serene
of countenance, and her work grew
under her busy fingers. She might
haye been in country village for all
the effect that the notorious Bowery
produced on her.

The percentage of foreigners in va
rious states is the subject Of frequent
comment, and often the cause of
gloomy forebodings in regard to the
future Of the country. 1t is rather
surprisingt find that among the very
large alien population Of New York
and New Jersey the ratio Of illiteracy
is comparatively small. In both states
the number of foreign-born but
naturalized citizens who cannot read
and write is less than seven per cent.
Even among those who have taken
out only their first papers'-and this
they can do as soon as they land in
the United States-the number of H.
literates is only about twelve per cent.
The ability to read and write is no
guarantee that man will be good
citizen, but it is at least presump-
ton that he will be better one than
the man who cannot.
