Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-11-14

The successful revolt of the state of
Panama against the government of
Colombia and the setting up of an in
dependent republic on the isthmus
adds another interesting page to the
history of the Panama canal. The
cause of the revolution may be sum
med up as being the result of the ac-
ton of the Colombian senate in reject
ing the Hay-Herran treaty. The 18TH
mians are solidly in favor of the con-
struction by the United States of the
canal. and it had been prophesied that
Panama would secede if the treaty
were rejected. Now it appears that
Panama may not be the only state
which is to be lost to Colombia in the
event of the revolutionists being able
to maintain n stable government.
1t is said that the states of Bolivar,
Cauca and Magdalena are also dissat-
isfied with the Bogota government and
that it would take little to make them
join the new republic.
In the movement to organize q sepa-
rate government Liberals and Conserv-
atives, who have fought each other for
a quarter of a century, were united and
worked together. While there has ex-
listed for many years among the inhab-
itants of Panama a spirit of independ-
ence, political differences have hereto
fore prevented the people from acting
together But the last blow struck at
their welfare, the defeat of the canal
treaty, which is said to have been ac-
tuated by the jealousy of the interior
departments of their more fortunately
situated neighbors on the coast, decided
them to sink their differences and
stand together.
The new republic of Panama has an
area of 31,571 square miles and a popu-

her, but all Of her young life having
been spent with Il lot of rough miners,
and having in her charge Il father
who is almost always in his cups, she
has seen the seamy side of life before
she has tasted of its joys. Yet with
il all, she is most lovable and she is
adored by all who are about her. Some
of the characters which are repre-
scented in the play might be said to be
Overdrawn by the modern theater-
goer but when 40 miner sees the
play, he goes into ecstasies of delight,
for before him on the stage he sees
the living prototype of the men he
knew in the California mountains
when he was gold mad and suffering
all kinds Of privations that he might
become possessed of his share of the
wealth hidden under the turf and in
the rough quartz.

workmen who tried to retake it.
After the train had been kept going
continuously from Belle Meade, where
it was captured, to Trenton Junction, a
distance of about thirty-five miles,
three constables and three policemen,
summoned by telegraph, defeated the
tramps in a hand to hand fight and
took three prisoners. The other nine
escaped.
The train was a regular freight from
Bound Brook to Trenton, stopping at
all stations to take on the produce of
the Jersey market gardeners for the
Trenton and Philadelphia markets.

Yeats. at her own Dun Elmer Press in
Dublin.
His first volume of poems, THE Wan
behring's of Ossian." published in 1889,
was based, as the title suggests, on the
Ossianic legends and won him recogni-
ton as a poet of strength and versatile
ity. This volume was followed three
years later by the play The Countess

Other works of Mr.. Yeats are "a
Book of Irish Verse" The Secret
Rose wind Among the Reeds" "The

years in an art school. but left art for
literature at the age of twenty-one. He
suggested and took part in the founda-

climbed into the engine cab and FIVE
more into the cabOOse, where were the
conductor and three other members of
the train crew. The remainder of the
tramp squad climbed on top of the
cars or into them. Few of the cars
were locked because of the stops made
at such short distances for taking on
freight
Along the tracks on the way to Tren-
ton Junction the train had to pass at
least five gangs of workingmen. On
approaching any of these gangs of
workmen the engineer. risked the blow
of the cudgels and slowed the train.
while other members of the crew
shouted Justify:
Help us! Tramps have captured the
train
At no time did any Of the gangs of
workmen refuse to attempt to recap
ture the train from the tramps, but ev-
cry attempt proved futile. Watermel-
ons burst over the heads of the attack
ing parties; potatoes and hard apples
struck them in their eyes and on their
noses.
AS the train halted at the junction
the police rushed aboard. The tramps
made a desperate fight against arrest.
Two constables and policeman were
knocked unconscious. The clubs of the
policemen and constable cut long CASH

one, for the action of the piece takes
place away up in the Sierras, when
the state of California was overrun
with treasure hunters from all parts
of the world, who were delving for
the hidden metal. 1t was a time when
men and women were judged by what
they did and not by the words that
they uttered. The most popular man
in the entire state was Judge Lynch
and many of the so-called trials of
the day were but farces. In adapting
the play from the novel. the drama
fist has been very happy in retaining
the delightful atmosphere which the
author Of the story surrounded his
characters. The situations and the
climaNes are most dramatic. and yet
the seriousness of the play is relieved
by an abundance Of bright and spark
ling comedy. The central figure of the
play-M'liss-is bit of feminity

his daughter. The old man thrusts
her into the night because he does
not believe her story of secret mar

Talented Dorothy Menpes.

Miss Dorothy Menpes, youngest
daughter OF Mortimer Menpes, the
well-known artist, combines cleverness
with an energy that is surprising, for
though still in her teens, she has al
ready written five books, and has a
sixth in preparation, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. They are all de-
lightfully illustrated by her father,
who is collaborating with her on a
book dealing with India. Father and
daughter were totable visitors to the
Delhi durbar, by the way. In addition
to literature Miss Dorothy Menpes
goes in for enameling, and designs
rings, clasps and necklaces, which she
carries out herself by the aid of fur
mace. She is in appearance the very
antithesis of what we call Strong
minded, being very pretty, with
masses of hair, and possessing an
absolutely unaffected manner. From
birth her surroundings have been arts
tic, and she has travelled all over the
world. The camaraderie between
father and daughter is as delightful as
it is comparatively rare in these days
of restless femininity.

Game of Sylphs.

For active young folks the game of
sylphs is the latest form of amuse-
ment. It is in reality electric bat
tledore and shuttlecock. The two
players hold a wand each, these wands
having been electrified by friction.
The shuttlecock is represented by a
butterfly made of collodion. The but
terfy is thrown into the air, and one
or other player approaches the tip of
his wand to the so-called sylph; the
electrified wands repel the butterfly,
which skins away as the wand draws
near. In this way the butterfly is
sent flying hither and thither without
being touched. A very good game,
with proper rules, is made from this
idea.
