THE SULTAN S LAST WORD.
The State Department :.‘*urt# a
waiting world that the Hultan of Tur
key Is believed to have been concerned
nt last, but that the American squad
ron under Admiral Jewell, will not
leave Smyrna Immediately. It is said
that tho Hultan has agreed to affix hla
ultimate and conclusive sign-manual
>methlng or other today. The De
partment to constrained to believe that
there will be no further delay thla tlma.
The world will read the agreement or
concession or apology or explanation or
whatever it may be with a great deal
of Interest, for If the Sultan, to use
the expressive phrase, “comes across*
frankly and sincerely this time It will
he the first time he has ever done so.
We shall see what we shall set. As a
diplomatic expert In "breathing the
word of promise to the ear, only to
break It to the bope,“ the Son of Ma
homet has no superior on the face of
the broad earth. And It will require
something more than polite phrases to
mitigate the Indignity, he put upon
Minister Leishman. Ho It Is well that
tht guns of the Jewell squadron should
be kept pointed In the direction of tbs
Turkish coast until "the last word" of
the Hultan shall be known.
Many a time has hla majesty suc
ceeded In estopping the futal advance
of European powers upon him, after
the grossest of outrages ha vs been
committed upon "the Chrlslaln dogs."
and If he shall do so now the world
may regard any compromise os un
fortunate. The desire of all nations
hss long been to tsach "the sick man of
Europe" a lesson, and probably none of
them Is so competent to do It as far
away Uncle Ham. Ills recant action
In allowing Itusstan war ships, locked
by hla guns In the Black Hea to pass
unchallenged through the Bosphorus,
the tea of Marmora and the Dardanel
les, waa aa daring a defiance of the let
ter and spirit of treaties, moral and
otherwise, that has been known In the
anuaJs of International relations. That
he needs discipline Is evident, but that
he knows both his strength and his
weakness to also true.
Tho day of hla reckoning may be de
ferred, but It will come sooner or later.

That using toothpicks In the pres

the positive dictum of the managers
of all these restaurants. They said
that auch conduct by any of their pat
rons was practically unheard ot
"We have toothpicks, of course," said
one, "but there Is not’one call In a
month for them. The class of persons
who dine here know that it Is unspeak
ably offensive to use a toothpick In the
presence of others, particularly at table.
"We have toothpicks In a glass on the
cashier's desk, and often men will take
one os they leave the dining rooms. Of
course they do no{ stand on the steps
and use them/'

"It seems to me they use It because
they feel the smoker's need of some
thing between the teeth after dinner.
It excites the secretion of saliva nnd
promotes digestion, a doctor told me,"
he said.
"In a cosmopolitan place like this
I have been annoyed to see men pick
Ing their teeth nt the tables just as I

knives in their mouths. But we can
not conduct examinations In table
manners before we admit persons to
