pairs now under way at the county Jail
The house IS being thoroughly renovated
and electric lights are being installed.
Changes are being made in the kitchen
and laundry room will Ire installed in the
basement The repairs on the different
cells Will be completed as soon as pos
sihle and they will be made safe for the
proper confinement of prisoners. An iron
wall is being built along the south end
of the office enclosing the stairs that
lead to the women's department. This is
being done so that the prisoners in that
part of the Jail can be released from their
cells during the day and have an exercise
corridor and still be properly confined.
The judges Tuesday issued an order
to the county treasurer to pay the bill
of expense incurred by the repairs. TO

tax will have to be paid within 60 days
after the order Is issued by the county
treasurer. He has not yet made the order
on the towns.

A Paulist Father on the Open Saloon

The Rev. a. +. Doyle of the Paulist
Fathers of New York city, contributes to
the New York American n singing ar
raignment of the American saloon the
aVowed purpose of which he declares Is
to create and foster a thirst for drink.
The Rev. Mr.. Doyle continues as follows:
by methods known to the business it
deliberately sets out to get people to
drink. 1t makes itself the centre of So
cial life; II cultivates the habit of treat
ing, with the tyranncal compulson to
drink when one does not want to do so.
"Ey the political pull that the saloon
Keeper has and by the office brokerage
he carries on nc holds his slaves within
his grasp by sailed drinks, Of themselves
provocative Of thirst; by a fierce compe-
tltion due to the decentralization Of
drinking places, which brings it about
that there are more saloons than butchers
bakers and grocers put together; and by
multitude Of other ways. with ramifi-
cations in and out of the life of the people,
the saloon develops a craving for alcoholic
drink.

the Macedonian revolutionists. arrived here
last night and was received at the railway
station by thousands Of persons, who
brought laurel wreaths and flowers and ac-
claimed Sarafoff a national hero. The
Macedonian leader presented a picturesque
appearance. His beard was unkempt, his
hair hung in long locks and his features
were weather beaten. After the delivery Of
patriotic speeches a procession was formed
and Sarafoff was borne on the shoulders OF
his admirers to the house Of his parents.
On the way Sarafoff halted In front OF the
cathedral and thanked the crowd for the
reception, declaring that the revolutionists
were not only unconquered, but that their
work was but beginning.
Sarafoff spent nine months In Macedonia.
His life was one Of constant peril and he
slept mostly In the open air. He went to
Monastir with a band Of sixty, of whom
only eight survived. He declines to dis
cuss his future plans. but neither he nor
the other leaders appear to concern them
selves with the proposed reform scheme.

adding new fuel to the insurgent movement.
which is expected to be revived on a larger
scale in the coming spring.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia revolution in
Colombia is not impossible. according to
an opinion expressed in a dispatch received
at the State Department to-day from
United States Minister Beaupre at Bogota
1t was dated Thursday. Nov. II, and at
that time Mr.. Beaupre described the feel
ing in the capital city as panicky.
The minister has delivered to the Colom-
bian government his instructions sent to
him by the State Department on the 9Th
instant, advising him that the United
States has entered into relations with the
government at Panama, and commencing
TO both governments of Colombia and Pan
anna 1.-The peaceful and equitable settlement
of all questions at issue between them"
The Colombian government. according to
Minister Beaupre, was disposed to ask for
an explanation Of the instructions but the
minister informed 1t that he regarded them
pears confused about the instructions sent
to him regarding his leave of absence
probably because of the delay in the re-
ceipt by him of cablegrams regarding the
matter. He has been again informed that
he is at liberty TO leave Bogota whenever
he desires, and il is expected that he will
take early advantage of the opportunity.
Mr.. Bunau Narilla, the minister from
Panama, continued his efforts to-day to
secure recognition of the new government
by the European nations. Twice he saw NJ.
Jusserand, the French amba ssador, in this
behalf and tonight NJ. Bunau Varilla ex-
pressed the opinion that France soon will
accord the recognition desired. The
French government is anxious that the re-
public OF Panama shall guarantee TO the
Panama canal company and the French
citizens interested therein all the rights.

guarantee is desired before any steps look
Ing TO the recognition by France Is given
and tonight M Varilla cabled his govern
ment for authority to make such repre-
sensations. To-day he received a long ca
blegram from Panama expressing thanks
TO the government OF the United States for
its courtesy in offering the privileges Of
United States warships to General Reyes
on his arrival at the lsthmus OF Panama
should he desire 10 go aboard one. General
Reyes and two other Colombian generals
are reported TO have gone to Panama from
Bogota on a peace commission. The cable
gram says the greatest enthusiasm exists
throughout the republic OF Panama over
the reception given 10 its minister here and
10 the recognition of the republic. The adj
