Visitors to Greece are always amazed
at the criminal statistics, particularly
at the number of murders. Ordinary
crimes-dishonesty and the vices that
prevail in other countries-are not
general, but murders occur daily. HON.
icides in the province in which Athens
is located average annually almost one
to 1000 Of the population. The causes
lie mostly in politics. The government
has forbidden the carrying of con-
cealed weapons, but the law is not en-
forced. A pouch or sheath for a knife
and revolver is part of the national
costume, and they are worn openly.

After the turbulent scenes of Friday.
marking the passage of the revised

tied down 10 routine business. An OPP
portunity was found, however for the
two elements in the recent struggle to
give expression to their feelings. This
occurred while the fortificati ton ap-
preparation bill was under considera-
ton. Mr.. Grosvenor (Ohio), one of the
ways and means leaders, said that the
amendment which the opponents of
the ways and means committee had
engrafted upon the Payne bill not only
wiped out the differential on sugar, but
also did away with the countervailing
duty of the Dingley law. Mr. Weeks, Of
Michigan, in reply said: Our motive
was TO kill that bill-that is the plain
English of it, and we believe that it is
killed and that if it ever comes back
from the senate its friends will not be
able to recognize it,"
The fortitication appropriation bill
was passed and the conference report
of the Legislative appropriation bill
agreed to.

into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found In

and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways or re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prosecut-
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder ls
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stun
and cast ii into the river without any
discussion. The latter way Is certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at a low price, ten TO
twenty cents a pound, or with some
prize, as a temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder OF established name ana
reputation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as lust

trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS max

COSMOPOLITAN NEW YoaK CITY
Steady Increase In Percentage of Native
Americans

The cosmopolitan character of the
ted by ALL and has frequently been
commented upon. Considering the con-
slant great inflow of immigration 1t is
impossible that the people could be
otherwise than very mixed. Notwith-
standing that, however. the last CEN
sus shows that there is at same time a
steady increase in the percentage OF
native American population. When
the census of 1890 was taken the prof.
est of a Greater New York was yet un-
der discussion. The total population
of what is now the Greater New York
was then, in round figures, 2,460, 900,
the number of native born inhabitants
being 1920. 900, and of foreign-born in
habitants 10000. The percentage OF
foreign-born inhabitants was $500. BY
the new census figures. just published,
the population of New York city.
born Inhabitants, 2,167,f Up, and iSf=
eign-born inhabitants, 100000. The
foreign-born population OF New York
city has increased $4,000 in ten years.
and the native-born population in the
same period has increased 1000,
nearly twice as much. The percentage
OF foreign-born inhabitants in 1900
was $685., or one and a quarter per
cent less than in 1900 Ten years ago
there were $4,000 Russians in New
York, now there are 10000, a gain OF
lOO,OOO. Ten years ago there were So
700 Italians in New York, and now
there are $4,000. Those Of other ma
uonalities increased during the decade
as follows: Poles, from 5000 to 80, 900;
Hungarians, from. $4,000 to $1,000;
Swedes and Norwegians, from q, 900 to
$4,000; Bohemians, from 5000 to 15,-
900, and Chinese, from $500 to 5000.
Germans now form the largest foreign
born element in the city. The English.
scotch and French again did not in
crease their numbers during the dec
ade, while the proportion of Irish was
actually less in 1900 than in 1890. Dur
