CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield. (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: SIT is decided by the
Court of Appeals of New York state
that no society has exclusive right ia
the title of Colonial Danes, but any
body of women may use it. This was
in the suit of the Colonial Danes OF
America against two other organiza-
tons using that principal title with
variations. AS point of fair play and
good taste, the societies that have bor-
rowed the designation have perhaps
something lacking"
The Baltimore Herald Dem.) says:
THE Administration in Washington
has cleverly postponed the actual
crisis, which with Castro is undoubt-
eddy not going into court, but paying
the costs. Yet IL is probable that, with
arbitration assured, Secretary Hay and
the President perceive the more than
possible complications connected with
the actual collection. The mere fact
that Germany already holds a recog-
nized verdict of money due is signif-
cant. The aim and origin of the en-
tire movement was not to obtain a
judgment OF Venezuelan indebtedness
but to collect the money. This vital
point The Hague court cannot infiu.
eDce, and the real test may well come
after the verdict is rendered"
The Houston (Tex.) Post CDem.)

The deadly practical joke numbers
another victim. Fireman Harmon was
an honor man of the New York city
department. He had served many long
years and performed numerous deeds
of daring. The time for his retirement
on pension was not far in the future.
On Christmas Fireman Harmon yield
ed to temptation took too much strong
drink. He might have been repri-
manded for it. but there was not the
slightest possibility that he would
have been discharged from the serv-
ice. Some of his fool friends, however,
thought it would be a capital joke to
brighten Harmon, so when he had
awakened from his little spree they
told him that ii had been decided by
the authorities that he was to be dis
missed in disgrace, that his claim Cor
a pension would be nullified and that
there was no possible future for him
in the department. This so worked
on the poor fellows mind that he went
off and drank carbolic acid and died.

How He Proposed,

He wished TO propos" to the girl of

he thought OF the old romantic style:
"By my halidoin, fair one, would
fain take thee for my bride. Say thou
wilt lie mine and ere the sun gilds the
turrets of yonder castle the friar shall
unite US in holy bonds"
In the face OF the prevalent rage for
dramas Of the olden style, this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an eminent
ly modern young man, however. he
thought again and determined To test
the theatrical mode.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 The presi

sage simply Of transmittal, the supple
mental report Of the Isthmian Cana
Commission, in which it is unanimously
recommended that the offer OF the new
Panama Canal Company, to sell all the
rights, property and unfinished work to
the United States for t4O. .OOO, 900, be &C.
cepted. The report gives detailed fg-
ures on the assets and liabilities OF the
Panama Company.
Summing up these items, the total
value of property is found to be: Ex
ovation done, $27,474 ,033; Panama
railroad stock at par, $6, ,ss6 800; maps,
rawlings and records, 81, 600 600 total,

The last item 10 intended to cover any
buildings, machinery, railroad stations,
additional excavation TO date OF pur-
chase, and other assets which may be
of value to the United States and not
included in the other items.

Panama route would be l34 & miles
