TRAFFIC WILL
 NOT BE ST0ppED

Taken altogether these dispatches were regarded by the officials here as indicat- Ing a lack of purpose on the parts of the Liberals to interfere with transit across the isthmus. It was felt that the brief Interruptions caused by the taking up of the rail and the cutting of telegraphic wires was nothing more than a temporary device to prevent the government from hurrying endorsements by rail to Colon. The officials find support for this belief In the fact that communication was re- opened across the isthmus the moment Colon was captured.
 Still, as a result of the consultation of today, it was resolved not to take any changes of an infringement of the treaty rights of the United States Therefore, Secretary Hill cabled Consul General Gud- ger to notify all parties who are en- gagged in molesting or interfering with free transit across the isthmus that such interference must cease. He was also directed to consult freely with Captain Perry, the commander of the United States battleship Iowa, now lying at Panama. Then Captain Perry was ca- bled by Secretary Long to land marines if necessary for the prot of free transit across the isthmus in accordance with the treaty rights and obligations of the United States. At the same time Captain Perry was enjoined to avoid bloodshed if possible.

GOOD SENSE IN KNOXVILLE.

| The Knoxville (Tennessee) Chamber I the notions that used to be popular in | the South and have done much to hin- der the progress of that region. It says that southerners must recognize the fact that it is just as honorable to develop a coal mine as it is to be a
 member of congress; that it is just as important to construct and operate a cotton or woolen mill as it Is to be an American senator; that it is just as
 high to con~truct a railroad and lay
 open the riches of new section as it is
 to hold judicial position. We need
 says the Chamber, in the South skilled
 workmen in all industrial departments.
 We need more chemists, civil, mechan-
 ical and mining engineers; bridge
 builders. millwrights, road-makers, har-
 Dor and dock makers, iron and steel
 workers, ship-builders, weavers of cot
 ton and wool, pattern makers, min-
 eralogists, skilled stone cutters wood- workers, casting and forging designers,
 glass-workers, electrical experts. and the various other branches of the in- dustrial arts To secure this supply of educated labor it is argued, labor must be elevated in general estimation, and that would follow the introduction of industrial training in the schools. Then more money must be spent in the schools. Tennessee gave only 1,751 ,O47 for the schools in 1900 as compared with the nearly s14, 100000 in Massachu- setts, which State has only one-third more people than Tennessee, and it kept its schools open only ninety-six days, as compared with the 1sS days in Mass achusetts.
 This Is proper talk, and if proper ac- tion follows it much good will be done The time has gone by when southern CTS can afford to despise manual labor or the industrial arts.

ONE WAT TO DO IT.

l That is an interesting move which ] has been made at Accomac, Virginia,
 where, it is reported some ministers at secret session have conferred the de- gree of Doctor of Divinity on one of | their number and declare that they have as much right to do so as the in- stitutions of learning. They hold, fur- thermore, that every minister of good
 standing should have a degree con-
 ferred upon him by his fellows.
 Perhaps this performance isn't really as preposterous as it will seem to some
 Of course a degree should be reward
 of merit. Sometimes it is. And of
 course those who confer degrees should
 merit. Sometimes they are. Perhaps
 the Accomac minister who got his de-
 gree in the way related above is a man of merit, and perhaps those who gave it
 to him know and appreciate his merit.
 Degrees and titles in this country are sometimes conferred even less formally
 than in the way the Accomac minis ters did it. There are many Professors, Generals, Colonels, Captains, Judges, Doctors and Honorables going around in this country whose titles have come to them without much formality, and some of the titles are worn with style and dignity. We don't exactlyAsee why it should tickle an Accomac minister to be called Doctor of Divinity. nor do we see why it should tickle other men to be called other things. But it does, and this being the case we are in favor of such an application of degrees and titles as will suit those who will be tickled with them. And after they have been applied those who haven't wanted them can form an exclusive society and congratulate themselves on not being like the other folks.

E. HATES znowBH1DG

In the death of E. Hayes Trowbridge New Haven loses one of her most prominent and worthy citizens. He was man of solid character and up- right life. His business ability was great and his use of it uncommonly successful He was an influential par
 ticipator in many large business enter prises. He was gifted with common
 sense, and was quick to discern
 shams. Though not conspicuous in political movements, he was deeply in-
 terested in all that concerned the wei fare of his country, his State and his city, and his vote and his influence
 could be depended on for the support of sound and patriotic public policies. Dignified in appearance, quiet in man. ner and in speech, friendly and courteous, he went about among his fellow men with careful consideration for their rights and feelings and with good will toward all. He was devoted to the church of his fathers, was a lib- eral giver to good causes and needy people. and he did his duty steadily and strongly in all the relations of life. He will be long missed and mourned by those who were accustomed to rely on his sound judgment, his integrity and his good will.

MOUNTAIN WIRELESS TELE- AT, X YYrrv

According to "The Electrician" diff.
 ficulty has for some time past been ex. perienced in maintaining communities
 ton with the observatory on the Zug-
 spitze Mountain, 5000 metres high (9,s4t
 feeD on the Austrian frontier of Ba-
 varia, throughout the year. Last Sep
 tember the Bavarian Postal Telegraph
 Administration put the matter into the
 hands of the Allgemeine Elektricitats Gesellschaft, who have now solved the difficulty by establishing a wireless telegraph installation between the ob- servatory and the postoffice of Eibsee. on the Slaby-Arco system. The differ ence in altitude between the summit of the mountain and the Eibsee postoffice IS 2.oO0 metres. In designing the ap- paratus such 8 wave length was chosen, so that deflection from the surfaces of rocks, etc, on the mountain should as- sist rather than impede the transmits sion of the signals. Another difficulty which has been overcome is that of the power supplied to the apparatus. The transport of heavy batteries, etc, to the top of the mountain would have been extremely difficult, and therefore the company has designed the apparatus so that it should require minimum of power, and the dry cells which are em- ployed with 1t have proved sufficient. Instead of the wire which has been used in many recent Slaby- -Arco experiments. ordinary steel rope has been employed, and this has been fixed in a slanting

MONDAY. DECEMBER ms

James o. Akers and Margaret Lucy kept Mr. and Mrs. Marsh awake, and the husband and wife, after discussing the inconvenience which they were made to suffer, filed a bill in the district court praying for an injunction on the ground that the croquet players were committing nuisance. The district court in granting this prayer rendered decision which practically prohibited games of croquet where it was neces- sary to use artificial light. The cro- quet enthusiasts appealed to the Su- preme court of the district The ques- ton was most earnestly considered by. the able jurists composing that body and a second decision was forthcoming to the effect that croquet was croquet until 10 o'clock at night, but after that hour it was a nuisance and should be suppressed. MT Akers and Miss Lucy, however, were dissatisfied with this de- cision and the case was carried to the Court of Appeals, which, after review ing the decisions of the other two courts, decided that croquet could be played legally in Washington all night long if the participants in the game so desired.
 Why anybody should want to play croquet all night doth not appear, but perhaps 1t is well enough to allow those who do to play They might be doing worse.

these young men usually have little
 money, they almost invariably choose
 the cehaper one, ,and this to save money. Thus do they come in contact with men whom it is not most desirable for them to know, and they will fail to make ac-
 quaintances who would prove useful.
 An incident under my own observation
 twenty years ago may be related. A few miles from town lived a we'll to do,
 easy going farmer whose wife was orig inally an observing city woman They
 had two sons, eighteen and sixteen years old. The elder son went to town
 one afternoon, and stress of weather detained him over night. Next day his mother asked him. At what hotel did you stop?' He named one of the cheap ones and said he did it to save money.
 She replied: That is not the way to save money, but the best way to lose it in the end, and more with it." His eyes, ears and mouth were wide open for an explanation; then she proceeded to tell him about as have written above, add ing: Now, hereafter when you are to go to town take money enough with you to pay your entertainment at the best hotel for day in case of an emer- gency; and if you haven't it, come to me and I will supply you" The young man did as told and became quite a fa- vorite with the landlord and many of the regular guests and boarders At the age of about twenty-t two an officer of the Interior Department. Washington, who was spending his vacation in the North, at this hotel. became acquainted with the young man, and, like him, asked: How would you like clerkshlp in the government land office in Mon tana?" The young man replied: First rate, if my parents would approve"

 It seems to be rule common to both

The Waiter and the Tin,

| Beside your chair, expectantly, The smooth-faced waiter stands; | Whichever way you look you see The holoWs of his hands: You wonder if he merely hopes, Or if he'll make demands. He brushes off crumb or two And shoves along q plate, And then he stands just back of you And you can feel him wait; Your heart Is filled alternately With pity and with hate. Oh If he'd only go away
 You'd bolt your steak and fee; At last you hope he's left, and look
 Behind you stealthlly- He thinks there's something that you want
 And rushes up to see. He pours your coffee in the cup
 And fixes things anew; He lightly takes the sugar up
 And, looking down at you, gN Asks very, very humbly If 4I.
 You'll have one lump or two. You eat as slowly as you can
 And read the blll of fare, i1 . And long to see some other man
 Come in and take chair, t'l And, humping on the table, call
 Your waiter over there But people come and people go
 Anu Sllll He heepS HIS pluNe, He goes to get the finger-bowl
 As if he ran n race, And, having set It down, he stands
 And looks you in the face, You try to sneak around and get
 Your overcoat, but he Is there before, and holds 1t up
 You don it sheeplshly, And turn and get your check to learn How much your bill will be. He takes your hat down from the hook. And brings your stick, and then He hurries to the desk and soon
 Comes rushing back again. Your change consists of quarters and
 Some nlckels and ten. Where are your resolutions now?
 There's something In the curve Of palm and fingers that. somehow, They only have who serve Outside you blame yourself because You didn't have the nerve.

ALL-NIGHT CROOUET.

Some people in Washington, D. G.. are pleased because decree has been handed down by the Court of Appeals of the district to the effect that they can play croquet all night if they want to. It is too hot to play croquet during the daytime in Washington in July, so some devotees of the game indulged in the pastime after the sun had gone down.
