MYSTERY OVER
TRUNK SOLVED
Clarence futile to Sell IT,
Owner Dead.

Louis B. Henry, q prominent
broker residing in New York, has
completed arrangements by which
he will secur the trunk and It's con-
tents now in the possession of Clar-
enc futile, who conducts a second
hand store in Smith street. About a
year & futile, who frequents auc-
ton rooms, entered n of the large
establishments and was the highest
bidder on the trunk now in his pos
session. Upon opening the trunk he
was surprised to find several small
diamonds concealed In tissue paper.
besides several lots of stocks.
The attention OF Lawyer I'll. w.
Kehoe was called to the stock In
question and he In turn wrote to the
concerns upon which the stock was
made out. AT first It was thought
that the stock could be sold fof its
par value, but at the present time
Mr.. Kehoe, who Ia Mr.. Tuttle's legal
advisor, believes that the stocks are
worthless.
Property of a Friend.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Henry CALI
ed on Mr.. futile and explained that
the trunk and its contents were the
| property of his former dear friend
| Frank Taylor" who resided In both
| New York and Cincinnati, and that
If possible he. with q number OF
| other friends, would like to secure
them as memories of the late Mr..
Taylor. Mr.. futile agreed to do
| this.
After much elaboration the New
York broker and Mr.. Tuttle finally
came to terms and at their next
meeting, which will be very soon.
{ the trunk and its contents will be
turned over. Mr.. Tuttie will receive
a certain sum of money, the amount
of which will not be disclosed.
Mystery liz Exp lained.
The mystery of tbs trunk at last
has been solved. Mr.. Taylor was
taken Ill at one of the New York
hospitals shortly after he came from
a western trip. He grew worse and
worse and finally died. His trunks
at that time were at the express
office and It Is the rule of the com
panies to hold the baggage for one
year and then dispose of IL by auc-
ton. This was the method of dis
position of the trunk that Mr., futile
now possesses.

Freedoms With Freedom.

BENJAMIN E. WALSH, the sociologist,
- said of immigration, in a recent lee
ture in Reading:
II would not restrict immigration. It
is true that some immigrants, entering
for the first time free country, abuse
their freedom. But they soon get over
that.
I'VE are all apt to abuse unwonted
freedom. 1 know an Englishman who,
on his arrival in New York, demanded
a glass Of whisky in a palatial bar.
Now in England your whisky is
measured out to you in a small tin
measure. but in our bar the Englishman,
to his astonishment, had the full bottle
set before him. He was given for the
first time the freedom of the bottle.
And though q rich man, he abused
that freedom. He took an enormous
drink. Then he rose and handed the
bartender IL cents.
Hold on, SIR the bartender called
after him. You've forgotten your
change
II thought the drink was IS cents
said the Englishman.
Yes, that is So said the bartender.
but that is the retail price. There's a
reduction when you buy wholesale.

Palestine and Syria, and his colonies are
found as far north as Khartum, where
Lord Kitchener said that the Greeks aid
the chaos of the Soudan. Turkey alone
has four or five million Greeks"
But let me tell you something of the
government of this little country. The
Greeks have a king, but he is merely
fgurehead, and a foreigner. They do not
allow him to have ANYTHING to say about
politics, and King George understands
this and keeps out. It was different with
Otto of Bavaria, who was king before
George. Otto meddled with public ques-
tons and this caused his expulsion. The
Greeks tell me that they believe in a per-
feet equality among themselves. and they
could not have this If they had a Greek
king. Therefore they have chosen a Dane
for the throne.
The chief business of Greece is done in
the parliament. This is different from our
Congress in that there is only one house,
i known as the boule. This has 2s5
1000 inhabitants. The kingdom is divid-
ed into seventy-one districts, and the con-
gressmen are elected by districts. The
elections are usually held upon Sundays,
churches. In Athens the chief voting
place is the cathedral, the ballot boxes
being arranged in a row along one side
OF It, The boxes are SO fixed that only
~. ~ ihom cdH pass through 70 vote at one
time. The box is foot square, with
pipe hole In it's top about big enough to
admit the arm of a man. This runs down
into the middle of the box, where it meets
a partition, which divides the box in half
On one side of the partition go the
affirmative ballots. and on the other the
negative. The ballots are buckshot, and
the voter, having put his hand down into
the pipe. drops his bullet for or against
the candidate as he pleases, without the
possibility Of any one knowing just how
he votes Each voter is given only as
many buckshot as there are candidates,
and the judge sees that he has only a
single ball in his hand when he puts 1t
into the pipe of the box. There are also
other means OF preventing frauds In cleo
tons, and each candidate is usually pres
ent to look out for his rights.
The term of the members Of par
lament is four years and they receive
salaries Of about $500 or $500 per session.
