STORY OF EARLY
DAYS In NEVADA
How a Prisoner Sentenced to
be Hanged Was Guarded.
(SALT LAKE HERALD

L was early IN the settlement
of Nevada said the old prospect
or, and where | was staying then
they had just organized a county.
Naturally, they had to have a Jail,
SO they created the sheriff's cabin
into Jail. by having a lock put
on the door. For a long time there
were no prisoners. but at length a
man named Sullivan killed an
other man in the town. Sullivan
was arrested and ordered commit
ted for trial. He was an acquaint-
anoe of the sheriff and the two
men lived there in the sheriff's
cabin in peace and amity. They
slept in the same bunk and tn g
key to the door hung on a nail in
side. They loafed around together
uptown all day and at night the
one who went home first would
take the key. If the sheriff was
in a card game-and he generally
was-he would give the key to the
prisoner and tell him to go home
and lock himself in. The prisoner
made no attempt to escape, al
though it will be seen that he had
every opportunity. At length his
trial came on and he was sentenced
to be hanged. The sentence made
no change in the habits of the
sheriff and the prisoner. The lat
ter continued to be his own jailor
two-thirds of the time and enjoyed
life to the utmost while awaiting
his execution a few weeks distant.
The county attorney finally caused
trouble, however. He was young
and ambitious and complained to
the district judge. The latter call
ed the sheriff up and told him TO
take better care of the prisoner.
The sheriff returned to the "jail,"
where he found the prisoner calm
ly smoking before the fire Throw
ing his revolver and belt on the
bed the sheriff exclaimed: I'm
goin' to resign as sheriff right to-
nightr' whats the matter. Jack?"
inquired Sullivan. why, this
Judge says I'm to keep you lock-
ed up here all the time and have
some Teller stay to watch you day
and night until you're hung and
not let you out of here at all. [
told the jackass you was a friend
of mine and would show up for
the hanging all right enough with
out bein' locked up, but he told
me to do what lie said or quit, and
I'm going to resign. | wont have
no suspicion or insult like that
thrown on no friend of mine p"
Sullivan did his utmost to soothe
the sheriff and finally the latter
retired, leaving the key IN the
nail as usual. During the night
the sheriff was awakened by a
shot and found the prisoner lying
dead on the cabin floor with the
sheriff's pistol in his hand. On
the table was the following note:
Friend Jack-This was only a
question Of a few days with me
anyway, so what's the odds? You
won't need to resign now. Many
thanks for kindness shown. Say
goodbye to all the boys for me.
Better do as the judge says and
lock up all the others il you get
any more. Everybody don't think
az much of you as [ do.

duty of the United States in the prem
ises was clear. In strict accordance
with the principles laid down by Sec
retaries Cass and Seward, the United
States gave notice that it would per-
NIT the landing Of no cxpeditionary
force, the arrival of which would mean
chaos and destruction along the line of
the railroad and of the proposed canal
and an interruption of transit as an
inevitable consequence. The de facto
government of Panama was recog-
niZed.
Under such circumstances the gov
eminent Of the United States would
have been guilty of folly and weak
ness, amounting in their sum to a crime
against the nation had it acted other
wise than it did when the revolution of
Nov. last took place in Panama. This
great enterprise of building the inter
oceanic canal cannot be held up to
crafty the whims or out of respect to
the governmental impotence or to the
even more sinister and evil politica
pecu]iarities of people who, though
they dwell afar Off, yet, against the
wish Of the actual dwelers ON the 18th
mus, assert an unreal supremacy over
the territory. The possession of a ter
ritory fraught with such peculiar ca
pacities as the isthmus in question car
ries with it obligations to mankind
| The course of events has shown that
this canal cannot be built by private
enterprise or by any other nation than
our own therefore it must be built by
the United States
New Treaty with Panama
Every effort has been made by the
government of the United States to per
suade Colombia to follow course
which was essentially not only to our
| interests and to the interests Of the
world, but to the interests of Colon
J bia itself. These efforts have failed
and Colombia, by her persistence In re-
pulsng the advances that have been
made, has forced us for the sake of
our own honor and of the interest and
well being not merely of our own peo-
pie, but Of the people of the isthmus of
| Panama and the people of the civilized
countries of the world, to take decisive
steps to bring to an end a condition of
affairs which had become intolerable
The new republic Of Panama immedi-
ately offered to negotiate treaty with
US. This treaty | herewith submit
BY It our interests are better safeguard
ed than in the treaty with Colombia
which was ratified by the senate at its
last session. 1t is better in its terms
than the treaties offered TO us by the
republics of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
At last the right to begin this great
undertaking is made available Pan
anna has done her part. All that re-
mains Is for the American congress to
do Its part, and forthwith this republic
will enter upon the execution of q
project colossal in its size and of well
nigh incalculable possibilities for the
good of this country and the nations OF
mankind.

Effective Decoration for the Table
@reaths Tor Cue %ts.
The hostess who was kind enough to
ask me to dinner in Honolulu had chos-
en- scarlet carnations for her table. and
never remember seeing anything more
effective. A big silver bowl in the CEN
ter was full of them, while a wreath
OF them went around the base Of the
stand and four more stretched frem
the handles of the bowl to the silver
candelabra in each corner Of the table.
In addition to this, each hors d'oeuvre
plate had the same scarlet wreath
round 1t, which each lady united and
hung round her neck, where it Law like
a soft, feathery boa. Some of the men
even did the same, but these were
Americans; the Englishmen, ayerse to
collaboration, presented theirs to the
ladies they had taken down.
The wreaths have to be made in a
particular way, and in the Hawaiian
Islands the work Of making IN tia leis
las they are called there) has become q
trade among the natives, who sir at
the corner of the street and sell, tha,r
sweet wares to the foreigners who
flock from far and near to see the nara.

The garlands are threaded.on a riaoo

the calyx of the carnation is ent,ralv

have always been allowed to walk here
and"
81 shall indeed be sorry If our rude
ness and inhospitality should drive you
away" laughed the stranger. Il beg
you will always, both for yourself and
friends, consider you are entitled to
free right of way over any and every
part of my possessions"
Winifred thanked him and would have
turned away, but he fingered; and there
was such a charm to her in the presence
of this refined, aristocratic looking man,
that she felt no inclination to break rude"
ly away from him.
''You are Mr.. Hastings, then" she said,
interrogatively.
Eyes," he replied. II have come back
at last to enjoy the delights Of home af-
ter my long absence"
at must be very pleasant to see 80

timidly; sit must give one such broad
views Of things and people, and stamp
out ones petty, intolerant thoughts a~t
narrow prejudices.'
Mr.. Hastings was surprised by this
last remark Of his companions, but he
was far too well bred to allow his
thoughts to appear. He remarked quietly:
"You seem to have considered these
things more than young ladies are apt
to do"
II must be going" she uttered, hastily;
sit is getting late"
He turned to accompany her, but she
bowed with an air of decision, saying:
my path leads away from HAZEL

shat my presence tonight will not tend
to brighten you away from these woods
for the future. May rely on your max

She thanked him again, and, bowling,
turned away. He Stood hat in band, be-
fore her as he might have done to
princess; and as she went on her way
home, he gazed after her slight, graceful
form with a look of tender admiration
such as might have befitted a man who
watched the woman he loved.
