\ Clara Mnrria Story.

Clara Morris related this story in Nc. Clure's Magazine of her production of "Miss Multon:'
 '"The play had twice failed in Paris, which was, to say the least, discourag- ing. But after brief reflection I con- cluded would risk it, and then, just by way of encouragement, MT.

 Always lacking in self confidence, these words made my heart sink, but the ever ready jest came bravely to the fore to hide my hurt from the public eye, and at the next rehearsal I shook my head mournfully and remarked to the little man: 'Bad-bad!

One of sandovv's Tricks.

One day in a London tobacconist's shop Sandow, the strong man, was handed some change, and in the middle of it he saw something that looked like bad shilling. He pushed it back across the counter. 'I think that one Is bad," he said.
 Nonsense" said the shopkeeper, with an incredulous air. He took up the shilling and tried it in the little brass coin tester that was screwed to the side of the counter. Then he ten dered it again. Its quite good" he said. Il can't bend it''
 Sandow smiled and took it between his finger and thumb. You can't bend it! May try" he asked.
 Certainly" said the man, with a grin.
 The strong man pressed the tip of his forefinger toward the tip of his thumb and the spurious coin bent like tissue paper.
 Well" said the tobacconist dunn. founded, .'it looks like a wrong 'un after all! Perhaps you will accept an. otherY'

Features Of the Days Dealings in All

New York March 19.-It is not often
that the stock market witnesses such a
series of spectacular and sensational

and in rather dull market at that. The
usual favorites amongst the industrials
had a larger share in the trading, botl
Amalgamated Copper and Sugar occupy
ing fairly prominent places. But it was
amongst the stocks which are traded IN
only at intervals of weeks, as rule, that
the speculation was fierce and the price
movement violent. The rise of Ji2 in
General Electric and of 3 in WestinS-
house were due to rumors of consolida-
ton, but both of these reacted sharply.
American Ice rebounded 23s. Late-in the
day st. Louis & San Francisco spran5
into activity and strength with an adj
vance of nearly points. due to published
reports that the company contemplated
an extension to the Pacific coast. There
was some late strength also IN Atchison.
Several stocks lost strength. The bond
market was rather dull and Irregular, To-

PEACE is Returning,
Boston Longshoremen's Troubles Rapid
Iy Being Smoothed Over.

Boston, March 19.-The grievances of
the longshoremen against the Metro
politan Steamship Line, which have
thus far been the chief stumbling block
in the way of a complete settlement of
the big strike, have been greatly
lessened, today, according to reports
made at very largely attended meet
ing of Longshoremen's Union, 3O2, to-
night.
That company has now offered to
take back so of the strikers at once
and others as fast as vacancies occur,
the men to be paid the same wages as
before the strike. There are eight
weighers, however, whom the company
refuses to reinstate, but the union Off
Gals are hopeful that this point may be
safely adjusted.
That Cow Crane is not slackening

Citation between the strikers and their
employers is shown by the announce
ment, today, that he had called to bis

half of the Governor when the latter is
interrupted by the pressure Of official
business.

A TERRIBLE JOURNEY.
Further Particulars of Walters Trip
Across Samar Island.

Washington, March 19.-The navy de-
partment has made public another re-
port from Major Waller recOunting in
detail the stirring events of his tragic
effort to cross the island of Samar.
He started with so men, Dec. 26. The
rivers were much swollen. Trails were
picked up, only to be lost again, and
the rain came down in torrents. The
route crossed and recrossed river ev-
cry few minutes and the men began to
develop water sores and chafes.
On Dec. 80, reduced rations were is
sued. No sign of human habitation
had been seen, except lonely fishing
shack. The men were suffering from
sores, from cuts and from fostering
bites of leeches. They could get no fire
and ate raw bacon.
Starting down the river, word came
to Waller that many men could not
keep up, so he decided to forge ahead
for relief with Is of the strongest men,
leaving Capt. Porter in command of
the main body.
Waller came upon clearing, where
he found shack and some growing
vegetables. The lenses of his field glass

potatoes were cooked. There was only
enough bacon to fry the potatoes. Two
natives were captured and pressed into
service as guides. Finally the Spanish
trail was found. but simultaneously a
large boat was discovered and the start
was made for Basey.
At Basey Waller was taken sick with
fever. He says the expedition was of
no value, except to show that the
mountains can be penetrated and that
there are no insurgents there. Con-
Guiding, Major Waller says he was the
only one of his party able to move,

THE Beers THANKS
Due First to Dutch, Then Irish and
Then the Germans.

New York, March 19.-Messrs. VOL
marans and Vessels, the BOer ENJOYS,
will sail, tomorrow morning, for
France. Mr.. Wolmarans said, tonight,
in the course of an interview:
Since we have been in this country
it has been said that our alliance with
the Irish has hurt our cause. On the
eve of our return we must deny that
statement and declare that the alliance
has been profitable to us both on the
battlefield and by the fight which is be-
ing waged for us by the Irish members
in the English House of Parliament.
First we have to thank the Dutch,
next the Irish. and then the Germans.
We also know that the people of the
United States are with us heart and
soul and we believe that a few words
of sympathy from the United States
Senate and House of Representatives
would go Il great ways in helping us
with the nations of the old world"

GOLDEN BROWN.
The Color Sought in Coffee.

When person has been shown that
change in food or drink can make

Coffee is killer" for many people,
and, OF course, when left off, the user
will probably regain a degree of health
without any outside help, but when
Postum Food Coffee is used the return
to health is much more rapid, for
Postum is distinct and well defined
health builder with delicious coffee
flavor and a beautiful deep brown color
that changes to golden brown when
cream is added.
A Chicago man, Peter G. Hoist, at
315 Englewood Ave, writes, Reading
in the paper the other day something
about Postum Cereal, it awoke in me a
reminiscent vein.
About five years ago, when 1 was
a miserable dyspeptic, l first heard of
Postum Cereal Coffee and put it to a
careful test.

chronic dyspepsia and all the medi-
cines / had tried were in vain. One by

tics, but / had my first taste with only
hot water in it and a little sugar. The
second cup followed the first and a
third followed the second. l took my
departure munching some of the dry
grains of Postum as l was determined
to investigate its effects thoroughly.
THAT day l had no dinner and ex-
perienced no distressing sensations, on
the contrary felt as though my appe-
tite had been appeased.

CANAL REPORTS.
Continued from page ~

ly upholds the title of the new Panama
Co, as will be seen from the follow
ing extract which constitutes its open
ing paragraph:
THE title of the new Panama co. 10
its concessions and other property APP
pears from the facts and documents
which have been laid before the sub
committee, clear and free from any
complications. For a transfer or It's
concessions to the United States, the
consent of Colombia is requisite, but
this consent has been given by the gov
ernment of that country as fully as 1t
can now be given. In the case OF pur-
chase of the canal by the United States
definite concessions and definite rights
must be obtained by treaty between
this country and Colombia, and such a
treaty would necessarily involve a con-
sent to the sale by the company OF its
rights and property on the isthmus to
the United States. Such treaty Co
lombia has shown and declared it's
readiness to make. On every other
point the right of the new Panama Co.
to transfer it's property to the United
States is perfectly clear. Every link
in the chain of it's title and every step
in the course by which it became in a
position to sell it's property, free and
clear. is plain and satisfactory"
The report then reviews the entire
origin and history of the Panama Canal
Co. and finds that the affairs of the
old company were disposed of by a
French court in a straightford way
when that company became insolvent
and that the court had perfect right
not only to appoint liquidator or re-
ceiver, but to confer upon him, as was
done. power ito grant or contribute to
any new company, all or part of the
corporate assets"
The various objections to the new
company's title are then considered
and replied to. The following explana-
ton is made of the reasons why the
new company should desire to SELL
Under the title thus acquired the
new company took up the work and
continued it until a large part of its
capital had been expended. 1t would
become necessary to raise funds for the
completion of the canal from the pub
lie. BY this time, however, a new dam
ger menaced it in the announced inten-
tlOn OI the OHlteu states 10 DullQ an
isthmian canal. Investors could be in
duced to furnish money only by the
prospect of a profitable return. But if
the canal must compete with one built
and owned by a government, which
could and would disregard all question
of profit, the chance of a profitable re-
turn was gone. 1t would not pay to
complete the canal, and, therefore,
money could not be raised to COM
plcte it.
'.As an engineering proposition the
canal was perfectly feasible and was
attractive, as a commercial proposition
the certainty of the competition of the
United States made it impossible ex-
cept under the auspices of govern
ments which might, for public reasons,
acquire the canal. For the second time
it became necessary to consider the
means of saving something from this
property which must be wholly lost if
the canal were not completed. Since
the company could not raise the money
to complete the canal, the only practi-
cable course was to sell the property"
