 ernment will declare martial law and
 by virtue of vested constitutional au-
 thority. when public order is disturbed,
 will approve by decree the ratification of the canal treaty as signed, or if the
 government of the United States pre- fers will call extra session of the con-
 gress-with new and friendly members next May to approve the treaty. (An eminent Colombian) has the perfect confidence of vice president, he says, and if it became necessary will go to the isthmus or send representative there to adjust matters along above lines to the satisfaction of the people there'
 This dispatch is noteworthy from two standpcints. Its offer of immediately guaranteeing the treaty to us is in sharp contrast with the positive and #ccntemptuous refusal of the congress which has just closed It's sessions to consider favorably such a. treaty It shows that the government which made the treaty really had absolute control over the situation, but did not choose to exercise this control. The dispatch fur ther calls on us to restore order and se-4 cure Colombian supremacy in the isth- mus from which the Colombian govern ment has just by its action decided to bar us by preventing the construction of the canal.
 IMPORTANCE OF UNDISTURBED TRANSIT.
 The control, in the interest of the commerce and traffic of the whole civil-l ized world, of the means of undisturb- ed transit across the Tsthnus of Pan- anna has become of transcendent ir1- sportanee to the United States We have repeatedly exercised this control by intervening in the course of domes- tic dissension and by protecting the territory from foreign invasion Tn 1853 Mir. Everett assured the Peruvian minister that we should not hesitate to maintain the neutrality of the isth- mus in the case of war between Peru and Colombia. In 1864 Colombia, which has always bee nvigilant to avail itself of it's privileges conferred by the treaty, expressed it's expectation that, in the event of war between Peru and Spain, the United States would carry into ef- feet the guarantee of neutrality. There have been few administrations of the state department in which this treaty has not, either by the one side or the other, been used as a basis of more or

PHILADELPHIA'S FLY-KILLER.
Gathers Thousands Into n Room and
Extcrminntes Them with
Persian Powder.

Philadelphia has employed a man to
kill flies. He Is an expert in the
slaughter Of these pests and has no
compunctions concerning their exter-
mination. In common with the head
of the Philadelphia health department,
he believes that flies have no value
as scavengers, but that, like rats and
mosquitoes, they are active enemies Of
the human race, spreading a variety
Of dirt diseases ana making epidemics
possible, says the New York Evening
World.
He regards the hole-in-a-piece-of-
Observation-Disclosures trap
as a weak and ineffective device; fly
papers are to his mind expensive and
valueless, dishes Of fly poison worse
than useless, screens merely defen-
sive appliance. His method is to make
a chamber attractive to flies, gather
thousands there, burn a handful Of
Persian powder in the chamber and ex-
terminate his guests.
The undertaking seems a task for
Hercules, but its profit promises to be
great.

GRAND MARSHAL DONE FOR.
Figure That May BE Displaced by
Motor Vehicles I'm This
HOrseIess Age.

"When power-driven vehicles shall
have superseded horse-drawn vehicles
entirely, as no doubt, In the not far dis
tant future, they will have DONE" said
Mr.. Gozzleton. according to the New
York Sun, what will become OF the
grand marsh Il? Will anything be de-
vised that will enable him to shine with
anything like his present glory?
"Now, with broad, bright-colored
sash worn diagonally across his manly
bosom, and with dahlia-like rosette
pinned upon his breast, he rides grandly
at the head of the procession mounted
on a horse. What would procession
be without a grand marshal, and what
would a marshal be without horse
And what will he do when there are no
horses?
His prospect now is dim. indeed; but
let us hope that, when the horseless
age shall actually have come, some
means will be found to preserve the
glamour and the glory Of the grand
marshal"

A Short Peach Urop.
The Warm, Dry April and the Cold Wet Iunt
Responsible.

The Philadelphia 7tlegyabh says {:
sThe long, dry period ean) In the
spring, followed by deIuges OF cold
rain in June, have been exceedingly
unfavorabe for the growth of peaches,
and now that the season of maturity
is at hand the few peaches on the
trees are wthering and going to decay
before they are ripe. As conse-
quence this prime favorite in our
markets has rarely made SO poor a
showing. Good peaches are very
scarce and very dear, and the best OF
them come 10 US from such distant
orchards that their finest qualities are
lost on the way. 1t is becoming
evident that in this vicinity we have
to make up our minds to do without
our usual supply of peaches, for this
season at least"

WEALTH THROWN AWAY.
Much of value Is Cast Into the Waste
Baskets of n Lnrge City
Every Day.

ports the Republic, there is wealth
enough to make any one man lndepend-

the doubling friend, "Rich for life,"
went on the other. you don't see
how? OF course, you don't. do.
did you ever consider the thousands
and thousands Of waste baskets that
are emptied by the janitors In offices
every night7 Well, suppose you could
get all that paper. Your income every
day would be up In the hundreds Of dol
lars. That is, II you simply sold the
paper to pulp mills.
But suppose you could add to that
tidy income by possessing yourself Of
the stamps that are dropped into the
waste baskets by mistake. There would
be another fine item in your income.
Suppose. then, II your conventional
mind will permit you to stray so far
afeld, that man could buy all the
business secrets that he could find lying
In waste baskets. He would have. as
sure you. such lever that he could pry
solid gold into his bank account
why, man, there is more money 60
ing to waste In the waste baskets in
this town every day than many men
make In a long life OF hard work. I
wish l could buy the privilege of TAX
Ing all the stuff. That's ALL"

NATURE SCULPTURE.
Ragged Outline of California BOwider
Bears striking Likeness to
George Washington.

One of the most remarkable pieces
of nature sculpture in California is the
George Washington rock, about 35
miles northwest of Los Angeles, in the
Santa Susana mountains, says the Sun
set Magazine. Near this rock two
mile tunnel is being bored through the
Santa susanna mountains just outside
Chatsworth Park. A chiseled monu-
ment could hardly bear truer likeness
to George Washington than this chance
picture in the ragged contour of a huge
bowlder. Viewed from one point and
only one, it stands out sharp and dis
tinct against the sky. From all other
points the rock Is shapeless mass.
The image measures full 25 feet from
chin to brow and is close to the top
of the hill In the vicinity have been
found Indian relics ovens, stones con-
tanning Indian writings. arrow heads,
mortars and many traces of settle
ment of aborigines.

Secretary Root is to retire from the
Cabinet, not Immediately but proba.
bly, some time in December. Mr..
Roots retirement will be a serious
loss to President Roosevelt who has
long been opposing it, for in all the
cabinet there are two men on whose
judgment Theodore Roosevelt relies,
but two men who can influence him
for his own good when he has de-
termined upon an injudicious step.
Those men are Hay and Foot and
of the two Root is, in many instances,
the more influential. 1t is generally
believed that Governor Taft will sue
ceed Secretary Root. Though the
operation of the general staff plan,
the direction of the army, which has
heretofore devolved on the Secretary
Of War, has devolved on the staff and
"wlth competent staff OF experienced
army officers thorough incompetent
could do little harm as Secretary Of
Wa'." l quote a prominent naval
officer who was advocating the staff
plan for the navy to make up for the
deficiencies Of Secretary Moody. The
serious problems which are likely TO
arise in the War Department in the
near future will, therefore, concern
the Philippines and 1t is believed that
Taft's familiarity with Philippine con.
litons would make him a valuable
officer of the administration.

Arc CrneI TO Cats.

We could name certain seashore re-
sorts along the Atlantic coast, the
abode through the long summer days OF
healthful recreation, of care free house,
wives and the lightheartedness of para
disc itself, which are the scenes of many
a humble tragedy in the autumn,
writes contributor to Good House
keeping. Here is the plain, unadorned
fact: Many of the cottagers leave
their pet cats to starve. Persons resid-
ing In the vicinity the year round are
witnesses. Sometimes the poor ami
mails are left locked within the cot
tages, when the doors are barred and
windows boarded. More often they
wander the beach, wan ghosts OF their
old selves, picking up scant living from
fish, until cold weather puts an end to
their misery. ...-i........
