Wednesday. The salesman called
at the Westenhaver home ON King
street this morning and offered for
sale.aGbottle of. crystal glue. which
Mrs. Westenhaver had heard of before
and which she bought for twenty
cents. She handed him a 81 bill, but
he said he did not have the change
and asked to he allowed to go over to
the store of Custer and Seibert and
have it changed. Mrs. Westenhaver
consented.
In few minutes the man came out
Of the store with bill in his hand y
acted as if he couldn't get the change
and started in the direction of anoth-
er store. That was the last Mrs. Wes-
tenhaver saw of him until she appeared
against him before Justice Snyder.
Her spirit had been aroused by the
thought that she had BEEN taken IN"
by the scheme of the glue seller and
had Mr.. Westenhaver put the officers
on his track. Officer Burnett and
Fulk caught him selling glue in an
other part of the town and arrested
him.
Mr.. Westenhaver appeared for his
wife against the prisoner and the
prisoner pleaded in his own behalf,
putting up the lame defense that
Custer and Seibert hadn't given
him the right change and he had
taken out another dollar to take it
down town in order to ret it chang

Justice Snyder fined him IS, which
he paid. AS he did so he made the
statement that he was gong to sue

Doctrine and the Golden Rule.

NEW YORK, Nov 20.-The annua
banquet of the New York chamber OF
commerce was held last evening. 1T
was attended by many distinguished
men, not only of this city, but of state
and nation as well. Among the speak
ers were Senator ]. l.. McLaurin of
South Carolina, who spoke on The
Monroe Doctrine of the Nineteenth
Century, Governor Elect Cummins of
Iowa, who took for his theme 1.-THE
Present Prosperity of the Republic, ;"
and Secretary of State Hay. Mr.. Hay
paid a glowing tribute to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. The major portion of
his address was upon the subject of
diplomacy. Among other things he
said:
'Mr. Chairman and gentlemen.
need not dwell upon the mournful and
tragic event by virtue of which | am
here. When the president lay stricken
in Buffalo. though hope beat high in all
our hearts that his life might be spared
for future usefulness to his country, it
was still recognized as improbable that
he should be able to keep the engage
ment he had made to be with you to-
night, and your committee did me the
honor to ask me to come in his place.
This | have sometimes done in his
lifetime, though always with diffidence
and dread but how much more am l
daunted by the duty of appearing be-
fore you when that great man, loved
and revered above all even while liv
ing, has put on the august halo of i'm
mortality Who could worthily come
into your presence as the shadow of
that illustrious shade?
Let me advert but for moment to
one aspect of our recent bereavement
which is especially interesting TO those
engaged, as you are, in relations whose
scope is as wide as the world Never
since history began has there been an
event which so Immediately and so
deeply touched the sensibilities of so
vast portion of the human race. The

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.--A num-
Der Of kilograms have been received at
the state department from the United
States consular officers at Panama and
Colon confirming the report Of the cap
ture of the latter city by the Liberals,
or insurgents. dispatch was received
at the navy department from Lieuten-
ant Commander Henry McCrea. com
mandlng the gunboat Macbias, TO the
same effect.
The news of the situation on the 18TH
mus came to the Colombian legation
here in the following cablegram from
General Argona. acting governor OF
Panama In the absence Of General AL
ban, who is leading the Chorrera ex-
petition:
Colon Is being attacked. Scarcity OF
troops here. Traffic may be interrupt
ed"
While the above dispatch does not
state that the city has fallen, Mr.. Her
ran, the Colombian charge daffaires
at Washington, credits, of course, the
news TO this effect that has come
through diplomatic and naval chan
nels
When asked as 10 what results may
be expected from the capture of the
city, Mr.. Herran said: 1T will depend
entirely upon the success or failure OF
the expedition under General Alban,
which is headed for Chorrera to engage
the insurgents at that point. IL General
Alban is successful, the recapture Of
Colon should be a comparatively easy
matter but If, ON the other hand, the
government expedition should be de-
feated the results undoubtedly would
be disastrous. for the insurgents then
would have, temporarily at least, undis-
pnted sway over the entire isthmus."

SECRETARY HAY.

1t was not from the centers of civiliZa-
ton alone that the voices of sorrow
and sympathy reached us. They came
as well from the utmost limits of the
world, from the most remote islands of
the sea; not only from the courts of
Christendom, but from the temples of
strange gods and the homes of exotic
religions. Never before has the heart
of the world throbbed with a sorrow so
universal. Never before have the king
doms of the earth paid such homage
at the grave of citizen.

of this country mourned him as ii they

in the moment when, with that de-
lightful smile we knew so well, which
seemed like the very sunshine of the
spirit, he was stretching forth a gen

Since the renewal Of activities by
the Colombian Liberals some five or
six months ago on the isthmus an at
tack upon Panama has been expected
at any time After very stubborn
and bloody battle In July of last year
the Liberals almost succeeded in cap
turing the city, and they have recently
frequently threatened to renew the at
tempt.
General Alban, then acting governor
Of Panama and today Mt the head Of
the Chorrera expedition, commanded
the government troops upon the occa-

Liberal Invaders Alight From Evening Train
and After Short but Bloody Engage
ment Make the Project a
Prisoner.

COLON. Nov, 21.-The city of Colon
is in possession of the Liberals.
One hundred and sixty men took
and paid for passage by railroad train
from Las Cascades. They arrived Ill
the town at 8 o'clock in the evening
and attacked the defending force.
After tight that lasted an hour
they took the town project prisoner.
Fourteen men were killed and twenty
two wounded. Traffic In not impeded.
The United States gunboat Machias
has landed force at the railroad sta
ton.
According to the latest news receiv-
ed here from Panama, nothing has vet
been heard In that city concerning the
outcome of General Adams expedi-
ton against the Liberal forces at
Chorrera. 1t is said that information
of the recent happenings at Colon has
been sent to him.
In the meantime the government
troops in Panama, numbering 300 men,
are busily engaged In the construction
of earthworks and barbados at the
railroad bridge going into the city In
anticipation of an early Liberal attack.
Colonel Shaler says that no request
has been made upon him for a special
train to convey government troops to
Colon. Ii such request Is made, It
will be granted, but Colonel Shale-
does not consider 1t likely. The Lib
erals claim to have at least 700 men
in possession of the different railroad
stations on the line between here and
Panama. These men would doubtless
do their utmost to prevent the trans
portation Of government troops to this
point.
Traffic across the isthmus by the
railroad continues uninterrupted. Ma
rines from the Machias are guarding
the railroad station and property here.
