THE IsTHMIAN OUTLOOK.
It is Thought That There Will Be No
Hostilities

Consul Malmros at Colon reports to the
State Department by cable that the captain
of the French steamer which arrived at
that port yesterday from Cartagena re-
ports that he was informed by an official
at that port that 800 Colombian soldiers
had embarked on the Colombian gunboats
Cartagena and General PinDon and sailed
for the mouth of the Atrato river. The
French captains advice was dated Deeem-
Der 0. and 1t is assumed that these were
the troops that since have abandoned the
projected campaign against Panama.
The French captain further reported that
the governor of Bolivar has rescinded the
decree closing Cartagena and Savanilla to
trade with Colon. The reason he gives eor
his action Is regarded as having an inn
portant bearing on the future relations be-
tween Colombia and Panama, because he
says that Bogota has decreed that the
dispute shall be settled automatically.
This is taken to mean that there will be
no hostilfties. 1t is thought that this con-
clusion is the result of Gen. Reyes In
structions.
A brief cablegram came to the Navy
Department yesterday from Rear Admiral
Glass. the senior naval officer on duty at
the Isthmus Of Panama. 1t Is said the sit
uation of affairs at Panama and at Colon
was unchanged. and that there was nothing
of interest to report to the department.

SIX OVERCOME BY NATURAL GAS
Marion, o., Child Dead and Five Women
Seriously Frustrated on Account
of Leaky Pipe.

Marion, O., Oct. pa series of as
Dhyxiations, resulting in one death and
five serious prostrations, occurred in
this city. Mrs. Ray Schultze found
her 1S-month-old daughter dead in its
crib. She called Mr.. Schultze's moth
er, and the two worked to bring the
child back to life. Shortly after two
neighbors, Mrs NJ. Cramer and Mrs.
J. Price, called. They found the little
girl dead and the mother and grand
mother apparently lifeless.
The two neighbors at once sought to
revive the two women, and were them
selves overcome by natural gas. About
this time the other grandmother Of the
child arrived She also neglected to
open the windows and doors, and was
soon unconscious. When the physician
arrived he found six bodies, all ap-
parently dead. A leaky pipe caused
the trouble.

TAG factor which is overlooked by
those who fear the ascendency Of any
quixo,ic notion is the existence of the
average man. This individual is not q
striking personality, but he holds the
balance of power. Before any extrava-
CANT idea can establish itself it must
convert the average man. He is very
susceptible and takes a suggestion so
readily that it seems to prophesy the
complete overthrow of the existing or
der of things But was ever a CONVEX
sion absolute? The best theologianS
say no. A great deal of the old Adam
is always left over When the average
man takes up with a Quixotic notion,
only so much of it is practically
wrought out as he is able to compre-
bend. The old Adam of common sense
continually asserts itself. The natural
corrective of quixotism is Sancho Pan
zaism. The solemn knight with his
head full Of visionary plans, is follow
ed by squire who is as faithful as
his nature will permit. SanchO has no
theories and makes no demands on the
world. He leaves that sort of thing to
his master He has the fatalism which
belongs to ignorant good nature and
the tolerance which is found in easy
going persons who have neither ideals
nor nerves. He has no illusions, though
he has all the credulity of ignorance

One of Bill Nye's jokes.

When Bill Nye one day happened on
the modest sign of Major Pond, the
lecturer manager, in window of the
Everett House, in New York, he said
to a friend who accompanied him:
Here's the man that incites the lee
turers. Let's go in and see if we can't
induce him to lead a better life" En-
tering, Nye removed his hat and ran
his hand over the hairless eXpanse Of
his head and after staring about for
moment said, This is Major Pond,
I believe" Eyes, sir. What can do
for you?' answered the major. II want

Nye. "Ah, yes" said the major slowly.

TOO FAST FOR SAFETY
DR.. Siemens Thinks 100 Miles an Hour
Until Rail Joints Are Elm
mated.

Berlin, Oct. 26- - The astounding
speed attained ON the Berlin-Z ossen
experimental electric railway has
raised the question lof practicability.
DR.. W. HI. Siemens, who was on the
train, said: Il don't think an attempt
at any hihger speed is desirable No
system yet invented could insure safe
ty.
1T was like $4,000 hammers at work
to us sitting in the car, that was SIM
ply bounding over the joints of the
rails. 1t needs continuous and per-
fectly smooth rails to make such a
speed comfortable or possible. Speed
really is no longer the question to be
considered; it is safety and practical
bility." The speed referred to by Dr.
Siemens was $50 miles an hour.

The Honnoo BIRD.

The hoopoo is essentially a bird of
the desert. A pretty tradition regard
ing the crest upon this birds head
tells that the crest was a gift from
King Solomon in gratitude for shelter
from the midday sun provided by a
fight of hoopoos. The first decoration
was a crown of gold, but as this
brought unwelcome attentions from
fowlers the monarch changed the
crown to a crest of feathers.
The characteristic note of the hoo
poo is produced as follows: The bird
swallows as much air as possible and
then taps its beak upon the ground.
The escaping air produces the ''hoo-
hoo-hoo' which has earned for the
bird it's popular name.-London Mail.

Before he was elected to be the chief

not met for years Mr.. Montague was
a candidate for governor and the other
plain country lawyer with small
incOme.
what can l do for you when I'm
governor?' said the candidate as he
put his arm around his friend. What
can do for you, old boy?"
Just what you have done now
quietly replied the lawyer.
"Why, what's that?" said the other.
Simply put your arm around me
and call me old boy That's all
want" was the reply Of the true friend

Lady Catherine Wyndham, daughter
of the Duke of Somerset, wife Of Mr.
William Wyndham and mother of the
first Earl of Egremont, died.. as was
supposed, at Orchard Wyndhams, the
family seat in Somersetshire, and was
buried in a vault beneath the Church
of st. Decuman's, near Watchet. The
sexton went down into the vault al
night, opened the coffin and endeav
ored to force a ring off her finger
Lady Catherine awoke from her trance
got up and lighted herself home with
a lantern which the sexton had left
behind in the vault when he fed in
terror. A few months afterward she
presented her husband with twins. one
of whom became Sir Charles Wynd-
ham and Earl Of Egremont.
