SCENES IN PANAMA.
With Something About the Civil Life
There.


At Panama, as well as Colon there has
recently been a civic upheavai and the po-
lice and fire brigade equipment has been
improved. The water supplies of the
towns are very unsatisfactory at present.
and one of the promises made by the rev
dictionary leaders is that they will be inn
proved at once. At present the method
of securing water for every purpose is
from wells on the premises or from water
carriers who visit the springs in the ada
of the precious fluid to the cities on the
backs of burros or in water CARTS
At Panama there are three important
clubs. the most patronized being the Com
mercial club and the International club.
both of which have large and beautifully
furnished homes. These are the places
where the business men congregate at the
time for siesta and in the cool parlors
conduct much of their business.
The architecture of the towns is similar
to that of all Spanish-American cities.
Every city is divided into plazas, and on
the edge OF every plaza is large church.
These churches are built of brick and
stone They are usually very large and
the open plaza in front of them gives bet
ter views of their architectural beauties
than is afforded by the methods employed

only view that can be obtained of the
churches is a slanting one from up or
down the street.
There was a reason for building these
churches so beyond the merely esthetic
one of giving a good view of their beau
ties. They have always been the harbors
of refuge for the citizens in case of war
or the arrival of freebooters in the earlier
days of the isthmus. They were built

bombardment of cannon, and they were
built on the plazas so that the defenders
would have free field in front of them,
where the enemy could not Turk.
When the tocsin sounded every citizen,
accompanied by his family, would rush
to the nearest church, with his arms and
ammunition, and many a desperate stand
was made against the aggreSsors. Some
of the bloodiest tales of the revolution in
which Colombia threw off the yoke of
Spain center in these churches.
These Panama towns are a delight to
the artist. Bizarre, picturesque, roman
tic, dingy, dirty, beautiful, warm colored
and quaint, there is something to attract
the eye on every side The external tints
of the buildings run through every tint of
red, green, yellow, pink, gray and brown.
Many of them are a century or two old,
and everywhere the sun has toned the
colors so that they blend and shade into
each other by imperceptible graduation
Then back of the buildings are the trees
and the flowers. with their intense tones
of green, brown and all colors of the rain
bow. Through these dart many colored
birds and butterflies and everywhere is
the little red monkey which seems part
of the life of the isthmus.
Its people expect great things from
their independence, hut first of all they
expect the canal. When that is built
they feel that they will be close to the
millennium. Brooklyn Eagle.
