GEOGRAPHICAL "BREAKs."
Blunders Made by Newspaper Writers
in Locating Places.

From London Tit-Bits.
The Daily Chi onicle a few days ago made
the amusing announcement (on its leader
page) that a certain party of notabilities,
after touring Europe, intended crossing "to
the African coast to spend some time in
Algeciras."
This is as though one should express ones
intention Of crossing to the French coast
in order to spend some time in Margate
Doubtless 1t was the fact Of the famous
conference on Morocco having been held at
Algeciras which led the writer Of the para
graph to suppose that the town was itself
situated in that country. whereas, Of course
1t Is in Spain.
Geographical "howlers" of this descrip-
ton are, however, not altogether uncom-
mon in newspaperdom Did not one Of our
best-known journalists confess the other
day that he penned, upon recent occasion,
leader based on the assumption that
Strasburg is in France?
Then there Is the case of the famous
editor and member Of parliament, not long
since deceased, who wanted to send a por-
ton of the British Mediterranean feet to
cruise in the Caspian; while an equally
well-known colleague Of his was to use his
own expressive phraseology, "fabbergast-
ed" at the discovery that Cape Breton was
an island
The Daily Telegraph once bracketed New
Caledonia with New South Wales as part
and parcel Of the British empire. The same
journal. too. in commenting upon q case
in which Rotterdam was mentioned. re-
ferred to that town as though It were sit
uated somewhere outside England.
Andermatt and Solothurn, both Swiss
towns, were once made into seaports by the
Morning Leader. "Roundabouter" Of the
Evening Standard. In an article on seaside
resorts. wrote week or two back Of the
dullness of ''the coasts Of Kent and Sur
rev. as compared with those of Essex. A
half-penny evening contemporary more IA
nous for sensationalism than for accu-
racy, boldly transferred, about the same
time, the town Of Aspinwall from the At
iantic seaboard to that Of the Pacific, and
few issues later made the equator inter-
sect the Red sea.
Harrogate has over and over again been
bracketed with Margate and Ramsgate as q
seaside watering place in the holiday COL
umns Of certain London journals, and upon
one occasion at least Reigate was similarly
dealt with.

very unique In style and wonderfully fetch

for, the latter being the more attractive
because of the natty little cufr bands which
finish them.

GRoCERs' NATIONAL SOCIETY.
$4,000 Members and All But Two
States Organize1

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 22.-The tenth
annual convention of the National
Association Of Retail Grocers was
opened here today. When the conven-
ton was called to order by President
w. A. Currens, there were $500 dele
gates from all parts of the states pres
ent. After the annual election OF
executive officers and the considera-
ton of the reports there are some
important matters for discussion.
The present convention is considered
most important as 1t is the first one
held since the association declared its
independence of the large manufac-
turers of grocery articles and refused
to accept donations of money.
The reports showed that the asso-
citation is represented by $4,000 gro-
GERS, with every state in the union,
except two, organized. Since the as
ISOLATION has ceased TO be dominated
by manufacturers much good work
has been accomplished, notably the
large decrease in the use of premiums,
the passage of more liberal garnish-
ment laws, agitation in favor of full
weight goods apd the encouragement
OF all trade combinations through the
exercise of moral suasion."
