PANAMA CANAL THE MOST
FEASIBLE OF ALL PLANS,
Dlnctor General says Il Would Cost a
1hird Less Than tho Proposed
NIcaraguan Ditch.

NEW YORK. Nov. ga. HutIn, direc-
por general " the now Panama Canni
Company, has como over from Paris to
sex what this government thinks about
the water route between the Atlantic and
the Pacific.
lie protests thNt there is no Intention
on the part of the French company 10
sell the canal. aud says that II has only
one purpose In view and THAI ls to cut
tho big ditch at once.
Whom asked u tho published reports
that this company wanted TO sell out TO
the government were true, Mr. Hutln
said;
Absolutely no, Selling out Is the last
thing we should think Of We want to
cut the canal and we are ready to do Il;
what is more. we are doing II. We have
kept 1900 TO 1900 men constantly employed
IN digging the canal and force OF 5000
IL now at work on tho ditch,
"What has been accompllshedG Much
We have actually dug IS miles OF the total
OF i6, OF thcle vessels are now navlgat-
lng 70 miles on the Atlantic and six
miles on the Pacific side.
Tho canals depth Is Is feet through
In some places: silt has made bars that
would have to he removed and can be
removed easily, our company, which Is
tho successor by purchase OF the De
Lesseps company, has its assets, reckon
Ing az such the machinery and accom-
pllshcd work, at least y5,0OO,00O. These
assets have been appraised at $4,000. .OOO
We have gone far enough to learn that
tho Panama canal Is entirely practicable
and is the shortest cheapest and best
water route between the two oceans.
"There were formerly thought 20 be two
insuperable charlottesville Charges river
and the Culcbra cut, Both OF these
difficulties have disappeared before en-
glneering science The Charges river can
DO readily mastered, and the cut through
the Culebra mountains, which was once
Thought hnpractioable because of the
sliding earth that filled the ditch as fast
as It could be dug, has turned out to be
comparatively simple problem, II has
been found that there is a rock substra-
tum through which the canal may be
cut, so that II cannot be disturbed by
sliding earth.
IAN International technical commission
has recently examined tho route OF our
canal and will, think pronounce 1t en-.
ltlrely feasible, on that commission Gen.

When the history OF Paines celery

Indians as Runners

General Crook is quoted by Edward
S. Ellis as having seen an Apache lope
for 1, 500 feet up the side Of mountain
without showing the first sign of ia
tigue, there being no perceptibIe in
crease of respiration. Captain H. L.
Scott of the Seventh cavalry has related
some astonishing feats performed by the
Chiracahua Apaches forming Troop L
of his regiment. He tells how nine of
these Indians, after a hard days work,
by way of recreation, pursued a coyote
for two hours captured the nimble
brute and brought it into camp; how,
on another occasion, the scouts gave
chase to a deer, ran it down some nine
miles from camp and fetched it in alive.
Hence see no good reason for doubt
ing the word of an old timer | met in
the Rocky mountains, who told me that,
in the days before the Atlantic and Pa
cific railroad was built the Pima In
dians Of Arizona would recover settlers
stray horses along the overland trail
by walking them down in the course of
two or three days. After this one may
begin to believe that Lying Jim"
Beckwourth whose remarkable adven-
lures early i'll this century are preserved
in book form, was much maligned
man, and that he spoke no more than
the truth when he said he had known
instances of Indian runners ACCOMPLISH
ing upward of 10 miles in one day.

The man who always wants some
thing for nothing made a discovery last
week in Diamond street restaurant. A
waiter upset glass ON the marble top
ped lunch counter, breaking the edge of
the glass. The waiter carelessly tossed
it under the counter and got another
with smooth edge for the customer he
was serving.
"What do you do with glasses thus
slightly damaged?' asked the customer
of the restaurant proprietor, relating
the circumstance.
"Oh, we give them away; have to
get rid of them; can't endanger the lips
of customers by serving them in nicked
glasses. But why are you Interested"
"Why, thought if you would give
me few of the old glasses my wife
might use them for jellies.
"Give me your address and I'll send
you some," volunteered the restaurant
keeper.
The man with a longing for articles
without price went away gleefully, cal
culating mentally on how much he had
saved on jelly glasses. Two days later,
when he went home from business, he
found Is barrels in his back yard. His
wife said she supposed he had sent them,
and she paid the man 81. for deliver
ing them. When opened, the barrels
were found to contain broken glassware
and china of all sorts None of it could
be used, not even for jelly glasses An
ash hauler charged SO for taking away
the rubbish. The man who wants things
for nothing has Withdrawn his patron

A CRITICAL time.
During the Battle
of Santiago.
SICK OR WE'LL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of
Santiago de Cuba were all
Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts
in Getting Ammunition and
RatiOns to the Front Saved
the Day.
p. E. BUTLER, of pack-train No. writ
ing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23d,
says: 1--WE all had diarrhBa In more or
less violent form, and when we landed we
had no time to see doctor, for 1t was a
case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrh@a Rem
edy, we were able to keep at work and
keep our health; in fact, / sincerely be-
lieve that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect saviour of our army,
for IL the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of
getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagan train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in a supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and know In four cases 1t
absolutely saved life."

manufacturers of this medicine, the Cham
