PANAMA IMPOSES TAX

Its Purpose to Endeavor to Check
Spread of Yellow Fever.

The United States Consul at Colon.
Panama, has notified the State Depart
ment of tax the government has i'm
posed on vessels entering the ports OF
Panama and Colon, for the purpose OF
raising money to enforce quarantine, and
carry out sanitary provisions TO check
the spread OF yellow fever. A tax OF 10O
pesos is to be imposed on every yes
sci OF more than ZOO tons burden arriv-
ing at the two ports named.

yellow fever is rather common at
Panama. on the west coast said Cen

over TO Colon and Aspinwall, on the east
coast. The latest report we have from
there covers the period between June

Debauches in Empty Houses.
Vacant houses for rent are subjected
to much abuse. These are mostly fre-
quented by tramps and young men. Of
ten large quantity of intoxicants is
taken in by these. and upon becoming
inebriated they smash windows and any
thing else they can find that is break

"One instance is cited by the
police where an old lady's house
was robbed of its furniture She
went away to visit relative,
leaving the furnished house intact. Sew
eral men. while in a state of intoxica-
tion, broke into it and carried away
pieces of furniture. such as rocking
chairs and other other small pieces. Un-
til they had sold enough to enable them
TO hire an express wagon. When they
had raised enough money to accomplish
their purpose. they instructed the driver
The Washington times., 1903-08-23

to go to the house in question to take
away some furniture for them. This the
expressmen did. The culprits carried
the furniture out of the house
by the back way to where the wagon was
stationed. and loaded the vehicle with

drove to a second hand store, where the
spoils were sold.
Whole Crowd Arrested.
''The men then bought more intoxi-
eating liquors and returned to the mouse,
where they slept off the effects. They
remained two days. About O'Clock on
the afternoon of the second day patrol
wagon quietly drove TO the rear of the
house. A squad of policemen alighted,
raided the place and caught five men,
who were subsequently punished by
the law. This happened in Washington
this spring"
Numerous other cases have been
brought TO the attention of the real es-
tate agents and police of vacant houses
entered and property destroyed. The
predominant mania OF many who break
into unoccupied houses seems to be that
of cutting the copper lining out OF bath
tubs. In most cases Of this kind where
the intruders have been caught they
proved to be boys.

Tuesday, that date will be a memorable
one in the history OF the local councils
Of the Knights OF Columbus. On that
day they will give their annual excursion
TO River View. and II promises TO be the
most successful ever given by this order
The chief feature Of interest In connec-
tion with the outing is the fact that all
the orphans OF ST. Joseph's and st. Vim
cents Asylums have been invited to
participate in the fun. and the knights
propose to treat them royalty while on
the boats and at the View. 4 special
committee will care for the little ones,
see that everything is provided for their
comfort and pleasure, and send them
safely home On the O'Clock boat. This
committee will also take care of any
other children who may happen to go
down unescorted and send them home In
safety.

cessful in the history of the order. Mr..

preparations for the excursion, and much
OF this success is due his executive abil-
ity- The other members of the general

DR.. Edward Koch and his physicians
in charge at the Koch Lung Cure have
made lifetime study of these diseases.
They charge nothing for consultation

method of killing the germs OF the dis

throws the healing oily vapors into the
lungs. and not by the old way of taking
medicine into the stomach; and il has
met with the most wonderful success.
They have cured hundreds of patients
