SIGHTS IN OLD PANAMA.
tifuI as Any Depicted in Stored
Romance

Following the English style, dinner
is a full-dress and ceremonious affair.
After dinner comes the promenade
along the Esplanade-a charming walk
around the old battery overlooking the
prison, says the Catholic World. Our
way borders the sea; behind us lies
the city, with its Moorish towers, it's
red-tiled roofs; back of it rises Mount
Ancon; to our left is the little Indian
hamlet of La Boca, at the mouth of the
Rio Grande, and the green hills of the
Andes in the distance; along the hori-
zon oceanward stretches the bay.
What words can describe it?-a study
in color as the rays of the setting sun
turn to crimson, green and gold it's
everchanging waters and throw into
deeper relief the emerald green of its
islands; the stately palmetto trees
that fringe it's banks, the white beach,
and far away the ancient towers of
San Anastasius, sole landmark of the
once beautiful city of Old Panama.
The story of this beautiful city, Old
Panama, reads like one of the ro-
mances from the Arabian Nights that
so delighted our childhood. It's houses
of aromatic wood, hung with costly
tapestries, adorned with painting and
sculptures that a king might envy; its
800 magnificent churches, with their
services of silver and gold, their fres-
Goes of pearls and precious stones; its
pleasure gardens; its broad drive
ways, chief of which was the kings
highway, over which the royal horses
bore the treasures of the mines to
Puerto Bello, and the ships ready to
sail with them to Spain. Into the
midst of this Asiatic splendor came
Morgan and his buccaneers, and this
struggle, one of the most memorable
on our continent, the first of white
against white, led to the destruction
of the flower of Spanish chivalry and
the capture OF Panama. So pass the
glories of the world

Spouse to Invitation. VIII Serve I'm
der President Roosevelt.

Washington, Sept. let was stated
on excellent authority yesterday that
ali members of the cabinet have ac-
cepted the reappointment rendered by
President Roosevelt. The manner in
which the president made the tender
rendered it impossible for the mem
beers of the cabinet to take any other
course, as they already are in the po-
sitions and cannot decline but must
resign their places if they desire to
leave the cabinet. More than this
they all believe in the sincerity of
the president in desiring their serv-
ices and in return they wish to assist
him to the full extent of their powers
to carry out the policies of Former
President Mckinley which Mr.. Roose-
Welt has adopted for his adnlinistra-
ton. Another feature of the rela-
lions of the new president with the
last administration became known to
the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt has been
fully advised and has approved of
the negotiations in progress relative
to the proposed isthmian canal treaty
with England.

VAST FORESTS UNTOUCHED.
Large Tracts of Land in Philippines Cow
cred by Magnificent Trees Untold
Wealth Awaits Pioneers AK.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Through the
courtesy of an army Officer access was
secured to report from Capt. C. P.
Ahern on forestry in the Philippine
islands. It is the first definite and
Gfficil statement as to timber lands
i'm the far eastern possessions of this
country. 1t indicates IN measure
the possibilities of development in the
islands. Samples of 1core than 30
Philippine woods are in the possession
of leading furniture manufacturer
of the United States and they are
known to be making extensive plans
for securing control of large areas of
timber lands. Capt. AheFn says near
1y one-haIf of the area of the Philip
pine islands-2O, 100000 to 10000, 600
zIcres-is covered with virgin forests
In a trip to the southern islands, he
saw tracts where more than 10000
cubic feet of timber per acre was
standing; trees $50 feet high, with
trunks clear of branches for so feet.
There are many millions of cubic
feet of timber in these forests that
should be cut in order to properly
thin out dense growth; for instance
where there are three or four trees
growing on a space required by one,
that one so freed would put on more
good wood each year titan the four
together. There are nearly 500 spec
linens of native trees on tne islands.
