In the opinion of all engineers a sea
level canal across the isthmus of Pana-
ma is the most desirable, although it
would be the most expensive. The
greatest objection to 1t is the length of
time required for its construction,
which Is estimated at 20 years. 1t is
believed that with the work already
done a canal with locks across Panama
could be completed in six OF seven
years. Ten years Is the time fixed for
the Nicaragua route. The reason that
the sea level canal at Panama would
take so long time is that the space is
limited and 1t would be possible TO
work only small number of men and
eXcavators. The heavy digging is all
at the watersheds, within the limits of
a few miles.

CHOICE MISCELLANY


A very singular state of things now
exists in the town of Bristol, Tenn,
by reason of an act passed at the last
session of congress fixing the boundary
line between Tennessee and Virginia.
The line runs along the middle of the
main street of Bristol, and as there is
II railway in the street the passengers
on the south side Of the car are riding
In Tennessee and those on the north
side In Virginia.
If an offender against the laws Of
Virginia be sitting on the south side of
car, an officer from Virginia may sit
opposite to him, within arms reach,
and yet dare not touch him unless he
has duly issued requisition papers.
But there Is more serious phase of
the matter than that. If headstrong
youth and an equally headstrong maid
en-, both under the legal age and living
in Virginia take a notion to be mar
ried, they can have the ceremony per-
formed on the south side Of car,
while on the north side there Is law
prohibiting 1t. SO they have only to
move from one side of a car TO the
other. Tennessee permits the marriage
of minors, but Virginia does not.
However, the same state of things
would exist If the boundary line ran
outside the town limits in field, for
Virginia law would rule on one side of
the line and Tennessee law on the
other. The oddly about the present
arrangement is that the line runs aleng
the middle Of street on which there is
q railway

The statement shows that In addi-
tion to the specific appropriations made
contracts are authorized to be entered
into for public works requiring future
appropriations by congress in the ag-
gregate sum of $4,224,640. These con-
tracts include $1,3S4640 for perma-

facilities at certain navy yards, $2,-
B41,500 for public buildings previously
authorized, to be constructed In various
cities, and for certain lighthouse ten

Not the Proper Hour.
About nine-tenths of the cranks who
are allowed to enter the city of Wash
ington sooner or later make their way
to the treasury department. They seem
to have spite against the place be-
cause there is an immense quantity of
money within the walls Of the great
white marble building. Secretary Gage
has become SO expert In handling them
that he would make first rate warden
OF an insane asylum when he lets go of
his place in the cabinet. The other
day one Of these cranks secured an
audience with the secretary after tell
ing an impressive story to the clerk in
the outer office.
"Mr. Secretary" he said briskly as
he approached Mr.. Cages desk, Il
won't detain you but a minute. Just
please sign your name to this"
What Is it?" asked Mr.. Gage, reach
ing for the piece Of paper which the
crank had taken from his pocket.
"A check for $135,000," answered
the crank.
THE government does not allow me
to sign personal checks during office
hours" replied the secretary. "Come
in after o'clock"
THANK you, SIR" answered the
crank as he reached for his hat. He
did not know that after that hour he
would be compelled to state his busi-
ness at the outside door of the treasury
building.
Postmaster Smith May Resign.
Postmaster General Smith has given
up the lease of the house he has occu-
pied in this city since he entered Presi-
dent MeKlnley's cabinet three years
ago, and the gossips have 1t that he in
tends within the year to resign his
portfolio and go back to journalism.
Before the reelection of Mr.. Mckinley
Mr.. Smith expressed desire to leave
the cabinet, but was prevailed on by
the president to remain. While he has
denied emphatlcally his intention to
leave official life Immediately, he has
always intimated to friends that he
wished to give up his portfolio just as
soon as the president could find 1t con
venient to replace him. On the return

The Question of Manufactures.

Washington is not satisfied with the
extent of Its manufactures and is agi-
tating the public with the expectation
of securing organized effort to attract
to this city men and capital to be en-
ployed In a variety of manufactured
products. The standing of the city in
the census as a manufacturer is not
low, being something like twenty-sev-
enth, but this figure is Elusive, and the
expectation is to induce manufacturers
that will take advantage of the yet uA-
developed water power of the Potomac,
the convenient coal and iron fields, the
five trunk lines of railway offering con
ditions not enjoyed by many cities that
have greater manufacturing lmpor-
tance. The men who have discussed
the subject are very plainly not salts
fed to see the city increasing in popu-
lation while the proportion of the pop
ulatlon that derives income from the
government to support the whole num-
ber Is constantly increasing

Enterprise is one of the virtues OF

has been at times almest of a sensa-

1t has always been Mr.. Stones ambi-
tion to conduct himself with some
discovery that would not only be a
source Of profit TO himself, but the
means of accomplishing good to others.
With this end in view it is not strange
that Mr.. Stone in his profession, should
have been led to think seriously CON
corning the use of cod liver oil. He,
like hundreds of other druggists, has
sold vast quantities OF this valuable
but nauSeating remedy.

not fool the patients stomach. Even
when the oil had been made tasteless
by being administered in capsules or
other forms. the stomach would rebel
and promptly eject 1t.
Right at this stage of the game Mr..
Stone learned of an important dis
covery made by two eminent French
chemists whose secret has been bought
by a large Boston house. With char
acteriStic enterprise Mr.. Stone con-
nected himself with them, and sue
ceedcd in making arrangements with
them to directly handle the new dis
c0very.
Thank goodness. we now have at
last. right here in town, preparation
that contains all the curative princi-
pes which have given the Gods liver
its great reputation as Il remedy for
wasting diseases. Now these sought
for principles are in a concentrated
form free from the nauSeating, greasy
matter that CharacteriAeS cod liver OH
as we have known it. This extract Is
put UP in most palatable and delici-
Gus form, so that it can be taken by
any one with the most delicate and
sensitive stomach. 1t Is positively free
from any Objectionable odor; taste, or
any OF the other disagreeable features
that have always attended cod liver
oil.
Mr.. stone will gladly tell any one
who will call on him, all about the dis
covery. He is so pleased in regard to
the matter that he wants every one to
know about it. Above all he wishes
it TO be positively understood that this
new preparation is not patent medt-
cine. He will tell you everything in it
and explain to you how scholars have
devoted their lives and capitalists
their money, in procuring this product
to which has been given the name of
Vinol- Wine Of Cod Liver Oil.
We think right here it would be a
good plan for any one who is unfortun-
ate as to feel it necessary for their
health To take cod liver oil, to hear
what Mr.. Stone has TO say on the sub
iect. What he will tell you will cost
nothing. What you learn You can
safely assert will prove OF the greatest
value to you.

The Opelousas courier., 1901-05-25
IL to |.

The last of the series of three
games of base ball between the
Eunice and Opelousas teams was
played at Haas Race Track, this
city, last Sunday, resulting in Il
victory for the home team by Il
score of y to l. The first of the
three games was played in Opel
ousas on Sunday April q, and
was won by our boys, the score
being 16 to IL; and the second
game was played at Eunice the
following Sunday, the Eunice
team winning by Il score of II to s..
1t will thus be seen that two Of
the three games were won by the
OpeIousas team, and that in the
three games Opelousas made Il
total of 36 tallies, Eunice making
"a tallies.
Sundays game was intensely in
terestlng from start to finish, the
Eanicians making Il splendid
fight, but our boys were too much
for them. Considerable betting
was done and, Of course, Opelou-
sas captured the coin. "A large
crowd witnessed the game, quite
a number from both Eunice and
Washington being present.
Our boys played a professional
game Sunday. They surprised
everyone. They have Il right to
feel proud Of Sundays game.
A second game was played the
same day between the Washington
team and the High School team.
At the end of the eighth inning,
with score of II to 8 in their
favor, the Washington team left
the diamond, and the game was
decided in favor Of Opelousas.
