REJECTED BY COLOMBIA
Panama Canal Treaty Fails ON the Sover-
eighty Question-MOney Cuts
No Figure.

Washington, Aug. ia telegram
from BosOt;i, the capital Of Colombia.
says that the Panama canal treaty
has been unanimously rejected by tie
Colombian senate. 1t is said here that
it was the enTUachment on Colombia
scverei2 nty resulting from the treaty
that was Objectionable. This informal
tioI4 WAS contained in a dispatch re-
ceivtd later by DR.. Herran the Co
loubi4n charge from Foreign Minis
ter Ric0S, at BOgOta. This dispatch
showed that in it's present form the
treaty WAS absolutely unacceptable to
the senate, for the reason above stated.
An intere sting feature Of the whole
debate III the Colombian senate and in
the committees report favOring the
treaty is said to be the entire absence
of reference to the question Of indemni-
ty offered by the United States for the
right Of way. 1t has been printed in
this country, as if absolutely true, that
the money question was nearly the
whole thing in Colombia.

The Word 0RaCCfng.o

The word "ragging' is more common
in England than in this country, even
if the custom is not. An English paper
asserts that rag" is not a slang word,
but is a real old verb, also to be found
in use among Icelanders, meaning to
banter or irritate. In Lincolnshire and
doubtless other counties to provoke a
boy is called getting his rag out"
"Bullyrag' is an elaboration of the ele-
mentary term, and here also the mean
ing is clear. A ragamuffin originally
meant kind of demon.

When the great writer Carlyle was
engaged to Miss Welsh the latter in

lyle should live with both of them and
share the advantage of an established
house and income. But Carlyle an

as if they were one and that he would
never have any right enjoyment Of his

master of a house the first use he

Keep the Breed You Like.
The best cow for each one of us is
| the cow we like best to handle and be
around, says Dairy and Creamery.
| There is such thing as Incompatible
| ty of temper between the man and his
COWS oftentimes, and this fact often
marks the line between success and
| failure. The man who loves his cows
and cares for them as a man will who
has this affection for his stock will most
assuredly receive better returns for his
labor than the one who simply tOlerates
his dairy. The man who takes pride
in the Guernsey or the Jersey or the
Durham should turn his attention to
his favorite breed.
Selecting n Good Cow.
When a breeder purchases cows for
foundation stock he will always de-
mand three pointS-individuality per-
Torrance and pedigree-says e. II. Sib-
ley in American Cultivator. Cows with
f1eshy udders or small udders or poor
fore udders or small teats are to be
avoided. as are those also that have
short and heavy bull-like necks. The
model udder reaches we'll forward in
graceful curve and extends high up be-
hind. Many beginners make the mis-
take of supposing that those animals
are of a superior type that are dainty
and delicate and lacking in size. AS a
matter of fact, slender, graceful ami
mails are likely to be efficient in vigor
and to prove disappointing.
The performance of an animal is one
CT the best gauges of her value. The
average man cannot afford to buy world
heaters, but he will do we'll to pay the
additional price which is asked for su-
perior as compared with inferior per-
formers. The record of the animal to a
large extent fixes the value.
The Leading Jersey Bull.
The bull Of the Jersey breed that
leads all others in the number of tested
daughters is Exile of ST. Lambert.
Ninety-four Of these have made records
of over fourteen pounds of butter
week. He is said to have been bull
Of great vigor and vitality and retain
ed his vigor up to the very day he died
at thirteen years of age. This bull had
for a dam Allie of st. Lambert, with
record of twentySiX pounds twelve
ounces of butter in seven days, and
test of over thirty pounds per week.

That statement from the Union

explaining any thing. 1t is stated
that no intention is held to place
the responsibility on the shoulders
of the customer and at the same
time it says the company does not
want to be responsible tor what it
can't help. The customer does not
want to agree to relieve them from
responsibility for not helping things
which shey can help. The danger
from the use of gas is a great one
and it is rapidly becoming greater.
At the same time the need OF greater
and more extraordinary precautions
to prevent damage from its use must
be taken by the company. If the
contracts don't amount to any thing
and do not relieve the company OF
responsibility why does the company
insist so strenuously on their being

Resolutions Of Respect.

The following resolutions were adopted
by the Local Board OF Health, at a special
meeting held in Rockville, October 18th,
1903:
Whereas, the Board of County Commits
sioners OF Montgomery county, sitting as
the Local Board OF Health for said county,
has lust learned with deep regret of the
death Of DR.. Edward K. Stonestreet, health
officer of said county and Secretary OF this
Board, and it seems meet and proper that
the members of this Board should put upon
record some testimonial to the efficient ser
vices of this deceased official. Therefore be
it.
Resolved, That the services OF Dr. Stone
street, not only to this Board, but TO the
people OF this county, we're Of great and en-
during value.
He was, in all things, the courteous gen.
tleman, taking into his public duties the
same kindly, patient spirit which 30 marked
him in his private practice. When the need
arose he was firm and just in the perform
ance OF his duties, and, while avoiding I'M
necessary harshness, always insistent upon
the observance of proper safeguards and pre-.
ventives OF disease and danger.
He brought to the Office ripe experience,
profound professional learning and signal
ability TO cope with the vexing questions 30
often submitted to him.
10 his relations to this Board he was found
wise in counsel, conservative in judgment,
industrious and pains. taking In labor, and
above all absolutely honest, upright and i'm
partial.
Be 10 further
ResOlved, That this minute be spread upon
the records OF this Board, and copy sent
by the Secretary 10 the family OF DIR. Stone
street as an expression of our personal sor-
row at his death, and a token OF our appre
citation OF his character and worth.

A Republican Blunder =.

The Republican party Of Frederick coun
ty made a great mistake in putting up a
candidate against Judge McSherry. They
should have followed the precedent set by
the Democrats several years ago In the case
of Judge Schumacher, and wisely followed
by the Republicans in this city in the case
of Judges Dennis and Wright When an
efficient and impartial judge has served one
term on the bench, 1t should be held a clear
matter Of high public policy to retain his
services, and there should be no opposition
to his reelection simply for the sake of sc
curing a chance for member of the opposite
party to be placed on the bench. This salu-
tary principle has been gaining very strong
hold upon public opinion in Maryland, and
the Republicans of Frederick county put a
drag upon their standing before independent
voters when they went counter to this prin.
ciple by putting up candidate against
Judge McSherry. 1t is impossible, 10 such
cases, to limit the effect upon the particular
office involved. Independent judgment on
party is largely founded upon its attitude on
subjects of this kind, and cannot make mis-.
takes about them with impunity. baltimore
