Frederic c. Penfield, formerly United States diplomatic agent and consul general to Egypt, asks WHY NOT the question in the Feb | OWN TT? ruary number of The North American Re tvlew: Why not own the Panama | isthmus?" Comparing the practicable | ity of the Nicaragua and Panama canal | routes, respectively, he conludes that every circumstance favors the accep- tance by the United States of the op- portunity recently offered it to pur-
 chase the rights of the French com pany in the partly constructed Panama canal. But MT. Penfield contends ab solute ownership of the soil should be q prerequisite to our building a canal; we should have untrammelled control

 field pleads that 1t is as necessary for us to control the country through
 which our canal is to run as it is for England to control Egypt. He adds:

England has ever since controlled the canal, and her shares have now a market value of f20, ,000. 900. It will be recalled that nearly every public man in Great Britain. Disraeli included. opposed the building by the French of the Suez canal, pooh- -poc.1ing the suggestion that it was demanded by commerce. or that 1t could ever be made to pay.

GERMAN MONKS IN ITALY.

In 1890 a German Franciscan triar. Father Bernard Joseph Dobbing, was elected bishop of the ancient united sees of Sutri and Nepi. The story of his coming thither is a remarkable one. It was in the time of the Kulturkamph in Germany that a certain number of Franciscans. driven out of their own country. took refuge in Italy. and pur- chased. a few miles out of Rome. an abandoned old sanctuary. Sant Ella

For some time past travellers on the Central have been besieged by vendors at way stations. who offered them rare idols. vases and curiously marked antiqui- ties. and on investigation it proved that. while these articles were un- doubtedly genuine, the National Mu- scum at the City of Mexico did not contain specimens from that neighbor- hood or of the same design. The mat ter is being investigated by the au- thorities, and if established as a fact what is now conjecture. a new field of antiquities will be added to the many known ones in this republic. It is now thought that these relics are from one of the lost tribes of Toltecas."

opened they demanded the body of Wood
ward. Tailor Schuchs refused to surrend-
er him, Several men caught him, where
upon a member of his family. fearing the
mob would do him violence, gave them the
key.
Woodward pleaded for his life, but he
was taken to a pecan tree 800 yards from
the jail and hanged. The negro was about
. years of age and had stolen some cot
ton from Calvitt. On February nth he
confessed the theft and promised Calvitt
TO make restitution If the latter would go
to his (Woodward's house.) Calvitt did
so. but when the negro emerged from his
house he had winchester rifle in his
hands and opened fire, one ball entering
Calvitt's left breast, which resulted in his
death on February 20. Calvitt returned
Woodwards fire but without effect. Cal
witt was q years of age, and left widow,

men in the mob, none of whom were rec
ognized.

MERGERS TRUSTEES
SPRING SENSATION
PROPOSE TO "LoAN" GRAY FUND
TO POOR BOYS INSTEAD OF
GIVING IT TO THEM.

MACON, March 19.--Mercer university s
trustees have sprung a sensation in Jones
county by proposing to change the method
of using the Gray fund. Heretofore the
income from the fund has been given to
boys who wanted to go through college,
but who had not enough money to pay
their way. Now the trustees propose to
quit giving the money. but they say that
hereafter they will lend it, and allow the
young men who receive its benefits to
pay 1t back in after years, very much
after the fashion If the Joe Brown fund
at the State university.
But a number of Jones county's lead
ing citizens believe the trustees have no
right to make this change. They insist
that it is not within the power of the
trustees. The will has been produced and
it will be published by the trustees for
the benefit Of those who differ with them.
Mr.. Gray was a wealthy farmer who
died and left his property TO the college,
prescribing that the principal which
amounts to ABOUT $4,000, should not be
diminished, but that the income from 1t
should be used for educating in Mercer
such young white men in Jones county as
are pecuniarily unable to pay their own
way, and If no applications are received
from Jones county. young men from any
part of the state might become the bene-
ficiaries. And it was left in the hands Of
the trustees to invest the fund as they
might see fit Now the question is wheth-
er this provision Of the will enables the
trustees to use the, income as they see
fit They were made the sole judges of
who were entitled TO the benefits, with
the Limitation that only pecuniarily
1poor" bows should be allowed to use 1t.
No references is madeto .gift,' or loan.

DEBTS MAY MAKE NUGENT
A LIFE PRISONER

LOUISVILLE. March 19.-Life imprison-
ment for debt is in prospect for w. T..
Nugent. a member of the bankrupt dry
goods firm of z. II. Nugent & Co, unless
he can produce sl4.400, which he and his
friends say Is not in his possession.
When the house, which was one OF the
oldest in the city, failed two years ago.
it was charged that before the assignment
was made, w. T. Nugent, son OF the pro-
prietor, had disposed of a. large part Of
the stock to other houses for 81, 400. This
money did not figure in the assignment.
but Nugent asserted that It. had been
spent in payment of his fathers debts.
He, however, produced no receipts
At the instance of creditors. the son was
tried in the federal court. Judge Evans
ruled that he must pay over the money
or go to jail for contempt Of court until
he did. Attorneys for Nugent got him out
on s., 900 bond pending an appeal. The cir
cult court Of appeals reversed Judge
Evans decision, but the supreme court OF
the United States sustained him. Nugent
then made a plea for a new hearing which
is now denied.
The argument for the defendant was
that to put him in Jail means virtually
imprisonment for debt.

ALL GREEN WAS STUNNED
BY ENGLISHMEN MONDAY

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE wearing
of the green was not so popular as usual
in London today. says the London cores
pendent of the Tribune.
The pro-Boer demonstration in the
house of commons, when the news of Lord
Methuen's capture was announced. has
been taken greatly TO heart by English
men. They have been almost as much
Inundated by the Irish reception of the
disaster as by the disaster itself. One
Irish nationalist has written to The Times
disassociating himself from the demon
STATIONS, but he is not an Irish Lacquer,
and his anti-Boerism is almost certain TO
cost him his seat at the next election. A
great majority of the Irish people are
strongly opposed to the Boer war and
would gladly see it ended by an ackwnol-
edgment of the independence of the South
African republics. :
Speaking at a nationalist meeting at
Glasgow last night John Dillon, NJ. P,
called for cheers for DeLarey and the au-
dience responded heartily. English radi-
Gals fail to understand this attitude. They
cannot see that what annoys England
pleases Ireland.

Of an alleged exodus of the people from
Dawson City and of alleged business panic
in the city in the heart of the Yukon
district. United States Consul Saylor has

ment:
There is absolutely no truth whatever
in the rumors published. This office has

who have left for lower river points, and
the number who have gone this winter
is about the same as in previous years.
The statement that a business panic pre-

nifty. have the utmost confidence in the fu-

Nearly all the household goods and per-

reached them before the fire broke. the

and attempted to start down after them.
The makeshift rope gave way, however,
and he sustained broken ankle. Firemen
rescued him.
The total loss was 100000.
