Funny uses of the English language
a traveller In Europe secs constantly.
says the New York Tribune. A good
deal has been heard of late about rob-
berries on Italian railways, and now the
companies warn travellers by the fol-
lowing notice: Putting valuables in
to boxes will be considered an abusive
and Illegal fact" To this is added:
1T is defended to throw jugs out of
the window" and "To avoid any dis
graceful occurrence. it is forbidden to
put the head out of the window" In
this last there is a slight confusion
over the use of "disgrazia," an acct
dent. The following notice is to be
read outside well known establish
ment near Bingen: "Pompous jardin
of restoration. Rhin wines of the very
best positions j sell on demand" In
the bedrooms of hotel in Genoa in
structions to visitors are printed in sew
eral languages. The English version
runs: Ring once for the chamber
maid, twice for the waiter, three times
for the jack-anapes." This is appro-
priately followed by "FIit him briskly
on the head!". which appears in French
in the less violent form of "Poussez
legerement lie bouton." With Jack
anapes" the translator seems to have
got hold of "faquin," with its mean
ing of rascal, puppy; but, though de-
rived from 1t, it is hardly the equivalent
of "facchino." porter.

HOar's Absentmindness.

Senator Hoar's absent-minded exploit
last week of securing the passage by
the Senate of a measure that had al
ready become a law recalls the story
of the senator which is sometimes told
in these parts, says the Springfield
Republican. He was at a private din
ner attended by a number of public
men and citizens. One of the guests
had just finished an anecdote, and the
laugh had scarcely subsidized when Mr..
Hoar started in, saying that reminded
him of something, and told over again
the same story that the company had
just listened to. Mr.. Hoars telling was
naturally a great success. For every
one realized at once that he had been
thinking of other matters, when the
story was being told the first time,
but had caught barely enough of the
thing to be reminded of the anecdote
as it lay in the recesses of his own
mind. 1t should be added that little
foibles like this have only endeared
Mr.. Hoar to the people of Massachu-
sets.

THE CANAL ROUTE FIXED.

The signing of the treaty with Co
lombia is regarded as settling the
question as to the building of an in
ter-oceanic canal connecting the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, and also the
question of the route of the canal.
The United States will soon come into
possession Of the property of the Pan
anna Canal Company and, in all prob
ability, will be at work on the Panama
canal within a very few months.
The announcement of the signing of
the treaty with Colombia came rather
suddenly. Until few days ago it was
the understanding that Colombia was
holding out for terms to which the
United States would not agree. In
fact, there were reports that the
President was considering the advis-
ability of asking Congress for an APP
preparation to make a survey of the
San Bias route. 1t seems, however,
that Columbia Unexpectedly decided
to make very great concessions, and
the United States increased, in all
probability, the attractiveness of their
offer. So the negotiators of the two
countries reached an agreement.
The United States are to pay Co
lombia lump sum of s1O.OOOOOO in
gold, and, after nine years, an an
nual rental of $25O,000. Colombia
wanted $65O,000 year at the begin
ing of the negotiations. To that sum
the United States would not agree.
Another point that had kept the nego-
tiators apart was the duration of the
concession. The United States wanted
a perpetual lease of the land imme-
diately adjacent to the canal. They
did not get that exactly, but they got
what amounts to about that. They got
a lease for 100 years, and at the end
of that period they are to have a lease
for another 100 years, and so on as
long as they want the concession.
There is no doubt that the Senate
will ratify the treaty, and it is re-
garded as certain that 1t will be ap-
proved by the Colombian government.
1t is probable that the contract with
the Panama Canal Company will be
closed at once-the contract by which
all the right and title which that
company has to the Panama canal will
pass to the United States on the pay
ment of SAC, 100000.
Just how long it will be before work
will be begun on the canal cannot of
course be stated with any degree of
certainty, but there is no reason to
doubt that it will be begun as soon as
possession of the canal property is OBJ
tanned. 1t Is understood that one of
the reasons that influenced the State
Department to hurry up the negotia-
tions with Colombia is the growing
conviction that the time is not distant
when the United States will have
trouble over the question of maintain
ing the Monroe doctrine, in which
event the canal would be of vital i'm
portance to them. Outside of that mat
ter, however, the canal will be of vast
benefit to this country from a COM
mercial point of view. That it will
be of great benefit to the commerce of
the world is of course admitted. The
building of the canal will, in all prob
ability, be the great work of this CEN
fury.

SIR. HOAR's REBUI1E OF THE PRES
IDENT.

Various views are being expressed by
buke of the President. 1t will be re-
called that in the Senate last Wednes-
day he said, in response to a remark
that the President favored a certain
bill, that the President seemed to be
taking almost too much interest In leg
islation, was in fact making himself
too conspicuous in favor of or against
bills before the Senate or House, and
that 1t would be much the wiser course
for him to pursue to wait until meas
ureS came to him before taking
sides for or against them, or if he must
say something about them while pend
ing, to communicate his views in re-
gard to them to Congress in a message.
Papers which are in sympathy with
trusts think the rebuke was deserved,
while other papers are Inclined to think
the Senator went little out of his way
to administer the rebuke. The latter
take the ground that there has been
nothing in the Presidents conduct that
justifles the conclusion that he has
played the part of a lobbyist or has
urged the passage of measures that
wouldn't be for the benefit of the coun-
try. These papers are of course
strong partisans of the Presi-
dents party. 1t is a fact probably that
every President, in recent years, has
taken more or less interest in pending
bills involving party policy, but it may
be that no one of them has been quite
so outspoken in regard to pending
measures as Mr.. Roosevelt. That may
be explained, however, by the fact that

REpTRIIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. oct. 25.-It was new Dowie,
chastened. reserved and apologize. who
addressed the meeting OF the Zion Restc-
ration Host In Madison Square Garden this
afternoon. II was clearly made evident
that Dowie as a mere dispenser Of the
gospel, is unattractive and uninteresting
to a New York audience. The Garden was
half filed. and this was sadly commented
on by the apostle.
When. at the close OF the professional, !,
about loo visitors left the hall. Dowie
arose. He did not display anger or call
the deserters names. as he did last week,
but in tone Of sadness he said:
Il have no wish to detain a single per
son in this auditorium who does not wish
10 remain during the rest OF the service

and 1 shall esteem it favor not merely
to myself. but tc all in this building. II

Dowie then delivered his address. which

the Falling Away; or. The Roman Papacy
and the Denominational Apostasy."
DOwie's remarks were trite and com
monplace. They did not seem TO awaken
any interest in the audience. and he was
not interrupted once.
Even in his discourse Dowie seemed
careful not to give onfense. He quoted
Cardinal Manning on the dogma OF papal
infanibiIity. said all denominations were
decaying and laid this evil at the door OF
Freemasons.
ITO show The extent Of Masonic infiu-
ences." said Dowie. there was a minis

an article for publication about me II was
rather favorable and already in type. But
when he heard me attack the Masons he
went out and rewrote the article into a
long tirade. abusing me-
AT to-night's meeting hundreds OF seats
were unCccupied. An admission by Eli
iah' from the stage was that his early
morning sacrifice Of praise and prayer"
meetings havc not been a success. and he
has decided to breakfast at $50 and have
the first meeting at $50.
IT was then announced by the prophet
that he would hold a brief discourse on
the subject OF good and evil. After listen
ing for about ten minutes. the audience
began to yawn. Noticing the lukewarm
interest displayed. Dowie shouted: I'm
not afraid OF the devil. believe the devil
10 getting old and foolish. Tomorrow
am going to get out my whip and lash
the yellow ours for the lies they've been
telling"
Dowie's anger was aroused by reports
from Boston that Mrs. Dowie had sailed
for England with a treasure chest, con-
tanning securities estimated TO amount TO
q OlOOo0 He said the story was absolute
ly untrue: that Mrs. Dowie had taken
no steel chest with her. and he reviled
the newspapers for publishing the story.
