"One peculiar custom in Panama is
that young Spanish lady is never seen
on the streets without chaperon, never
in company with a young man on the
streets or at any public entertainment,
unless a chaperOn is present If a
young man invites young lady to- go
to the theater with him he must provide
a seat in the carriage and ticket for
the chaperon. If a young man desires
to address young lady he usually goes
10 the corner opposite her house and
stands there from perhaps I to o'clock
at night. and if she be pleased with his
attentions she will come out the YER
anda for only a moment. This is kept up
for sometimes month. when the young
man ceases his attentions unless the par
ents invite him to pay the young lady
visit. This visit and all the subsequent
ones must be in the presence of the
mother or chaperon OF the young lady.
During an entire courtship they never

Bloomfield, y. j., Sept S-A naked wild

people so that women and children are
afraid to venture out after dark.

He was seen Monday night by
Frederick R. Pich and James Ellor
but fled when they approached. He has
on two occasions tried to carry off
children. At one of these times the
child was rescued by woman en-

stick, and he released the child and ran.
Last night Mrs. John Edwards. of
Grace Street, was walking along the
avenue on her way to the Bloomfield
Avenue trolley when she heard screams
behind her Turning around she saw
two women bicyclists scorching alone.
They were pursued by the wild man.
When they saw Mrs. Edwards they
Jumped off their wheels and ran to her
side When the wild man saw the tree

The women gave their names as
Nellie and Annie Boyer. They were on
their way to Bellville from their home

PANAMA LIFE.
The Consul General on It's Climate

From the Asheville Citizen.) J

From the Asheville Citizen)
Hon. Henry A. Gudger, of this place,
consul general to Panama, thinks great
many exaggerated things have been said
about the climate of Panama, and he
thinks much depends upon the manner in
which one lives. In speaking of the Gus
toms that prevail among the natives and
the customs which are observed by the
foreign element, he says that those who
observe strictly the laws of health risk
very much less than those who are in
clined simply to have a good time II
has been found from long usage that the
regulations regarding meals and work
during the day must be different from
those which prevail in a colder climate.
The two substantial meals Of the day are
breakfast, from Il TO 12 o'clock in the
morning. of fruits, meats. vegetables,
etc, and dinner from to I. Sometimes
at breakfast soup is served, and always
at dinner. Very often soup is served at
both the beginning and ending of the
meal. The first thing in the morning is
a bath. Then is served coffee" which
is coffee, bread and butter. This is be-
tween and o'clock The working
class, however, have coffee" at 500 SO
as to go to work half al nour later. The
stores. business places and offices are
open, as rule, from to II o'clock. then
closed until about 2 During this interval
II is very warm outdoors, and people
generally stay in their rooms and on the
verandas and take their siestas The
main thing in the tropics is to avoid the
sun during the heat of the day and get
ting wet from frequent rains. A great
many. people who go to the tropics dis
| regard this, go out in the sun, in the
rain, and keep late hours at night, and
| the natural result is fever. 1t Is exceed
ingly dangerous to remain out after II
| o'clock at night. because of the damp
ness and the rising of the miasma from
| the ground.
| The seasons in Panama are Winter and
| Summer. The'latter lasts from January
for four months the remainder being the
| Winter or wet season. The mercury, how
| ever, stands about stationary through
| out the year. the real distinction being
| the dry and wet season.
| Mr. Gudger says the mercury does not
| vary as mucn as 3 degrees. He never
knew it above Sc or below So at midday
in the shade; at night usually between 6;

day and a warm night is more because OF

partiality of the great Chinaman to Rus
sia. eliminating in Great Britain being
deprived of the contract of the Pekin-
Hankow Railroad by giving the Russo
Chinese Bank financial control of the
road.
Ii Hung Chang's dismissal from
power is another proof of the existence
of a new understanding between Great
Britain and Russia as to China. Sir
Claude Macdonald's demand has had its
response; Russia is willing to throw Ii
over. This was foreshadowed in the
Queens speech proroguing Parliament
on August u last. The speech took a
most hopeful view of the relations be-
tween Great Britain and China. and ex-
pressed good wishes for the mainte-
nance of the independence of the En-
peror of China, and the security of his
empire.
Her majesty might have added, "after
Great Britain and Russia get through
with the empire for on the same day
in the House of Commons Mr.. Balfour
disavowed any intention of interfering
with the Pekin- -Hankow Railway con-
tract. the most conspicuous illustration
of that Russian influence in China which
the English accuse Ii Hung Chang OF
representing.
However, Ii Hung Chang is a philos-
opher. Gen. Grant, his firm friend, said
he was one of the four truly great men
he met in his tour of the world-Li, Bea-
consfield, Bismarck, and Gambetta. Ir
1895 he was removed from the office OF
viceroy of the great province of Chibli
although he retained the title of grand
secretary and several other equally
empty.
But his disgrace did not last long
Soon afterward he represented his mast.
er, the Emperor, at the Cars corona,
tion and visited this country on his way
back to China. In this city he was high
ly popular for his democratic ways ant
good nature, and all over the United
States he gained a vast deal of informa
tion by asking questions a little faster
than they could be answered.
Ii was in disgrace again until Angus
last, when 1t was announced that tn,
Empress dowager of China, Tsou Hsi
had openly relieved the Emperor of al
real power; that the ministers took thei
! instructions from her, and that Ii Hun.
| Chang had practically superseded tn,
Tsungli-Yamen, the Chinese foreign
office.
