the senate met the bill passed by the
house to carry into effect the Cuban

PLEASED WITH THE TREATY.
Panama Commissioners Call on Sec
retary Hay.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The commits
sion from Panama, accompanied by
the Panama minister, NJ Philippe
Bunau-Varilla, was received at the
state department during the day by
Secretary Hay The secretary first
greeted Dr. Amador and then shook
hands with Mr.. Boyd. the other mem
ber of the commission, and with the
minister.
DR. Amador informed the secretary
that the commissioners had carefully
inspected the Hay Bunau Varilla
treaty and desired to take this oppor-
tunity of expressing their entire salts
faction with its terms. DR.. Amador
assured the secretary that no time
would be lost in its ratification by the
Panama government. He then paid a
tribute to the service which the Pan
ANA minister had performed in so
promptly negotiating the convention.
After these fluctuations the secre.
tary and commissioners discussed the
future of the republic. 1t was pointed
ont by the minister that the junta felt
that it must first accomplish the mis-
sion to which it was called by the
entire people of Panama namely, to
ratify the canal treaty, and that then
1t would turn its attention to the
equally important, though less imme-
date" work, of establishing a more
usual form OF government. The secre-
tary expressed deep interest in the
future Of the new state.
During the afternoon the president
received the commission at the White
House.

times the wearing of a hat was regard
ed as a mark Of rank and distinction.
During the reign Of Charles l. the Pu-
ritans affected a steeple crown and
broad brimmed hat, while the cavaliers
adopted lower crown and broader
brim, ornamented with feathers. In
the early part Of the reign Of Henry
Y. hats became popular, and in the
time Of the wars Of the roses all nen
Of high and low degree with the ex-
ception of 'prentices, who wore caps
wore hats. The cooked hat made its
appearance in the reign Of James H.,
and could be cor-erted into a variety
of shapes. It was known under sew
eral names, as the Brigadier, the Rami
lies, the Regent and the Frederick.
Even to the present day the naval
full dress is incomplete without the
cooked hat, and on the continent many
functionaries, civil as well as military,
continue to wear 1t. Our old militia,
line and field officers used to wear
them Of immense proportions. The
round hat, such as Ben Franklin wore,
was taken to Paris from this country
by the young officers who fought for
our independence under Rochambeau
and Lafayette. 1t met with great IA

Boots and Shoes.

Boots are supposed to have been the
invention Of the Carians. They were
mentioned by Homer, 907 B. c.
Grecian women possessed twenty-five
kinds of footgear, which may be
classed as those which cover all the
foot up to the ankle and those which
simply tied on the top Of the foot with
wide ribbons or straps. The practice
Of shoe and sandal wearing can be
traced back for some thousands of
years and is probably of eastern origin.
Frequent mention is made of the shoe
in the Bible, from the book Of Exodus
to the Acts, and there is mention made
Of a shoe latchet as early as the time
Of Abraham.
