The famous Panama hats are all made
in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and get their name
because Panama merchants formerly con-
trolled their trade. They are made of the
pita fibre, sort of palm, and are braided
under water by native women of strands
often - and Is feet long, and tine ones ss are
very expensive. 1t often takes two or three
weeks to braid single hat, which sells for
five or six dollars, and lasts forever. A
traveller speaks of one made of single straw
or fibre, as fine as thread and soft as silk.
The woman who made it was engaged four
months in the work, and it was valued at
$3.50.
Il. G. Dennis, the Florida carpet-bagger
who made Hayes president in 1876 by count
ing in POO fraudulent votes at "Archer pre-
cinct No. g." has just died of aelirium tre-
mems, neglected, despised and obscure, after
winning a bet that he could drink two
quarts of whisky in two hours. The men
who were identified with the robbery and
assisted in the mammoth steal of the coun-
try are steadily dropping away in just such
circumstances. With hardly an exception
they have died as disgracefully as they
lived after relapsing into poverty and OBJ
scurity from the evil prominence into which
they forced themselves.

ton (Del.) elections was that the negro vote
held the balance of power. Both parties
made direct appeals to the colored voters,

shifted defeat in the air, and in its Friday
issue printed short bitter article attack

candidate for mayor. 1t did not object to
the fact that ''the points now reached when
the Democratic party of Wilmington stands
hat in hand and pocket in hand, too, beg
ging for negro support or buying it," but
it was thoroughly disgruntled at the pos
sibility of Carnival of vicious and costly
government" by means of that "part of the
negro vote which is wholly ignorant" Thus
is the color line being slowly obliterated.
Said the teacher of an Indian school:
'sThe Indians possess a logical mind. The
negroes do not. The negroes are quick to
see fact, but they do not put one fact and
another together and draw a conclusion
or make comparison. The Indians 90.
For instance, one of my Indian boys the
other day asked me the meaning of miss.
''To miss" 1 told him, is the same as
to fail. You shoot at a bird or mark
and do not hit it, you miss it. You
60 to tailor's for coat and your coat fits
badly, it is miss-ft. You hope to enter
the middle class next year, but you cannot
pass the examinations, and so you miss the
promotion.' His face wore puzzled air,
and he shook his head. Them said |,
there is another meaning of miss. We call
a married lady madam, but an unmarried
lady miss His face frightened !; he smiled
and nodded. 'Ah! 1 see,' said he, she has
missed her man,"

Liberty Statue is being erected, has curl
Gus history, which makes it an appropriate
