New YORK Sun.
A Wall-street broker came down with
scarlet fever in the late fall and was quar-
antined in q private ward of one Of the city
hospitals. He had a telephone placed at
his bedside, and over il transacted all the
details of his business during his conval-
escence. when the danger of contagion is
greatest. In less than four weeks. while
still a prisoner in his room, he executed
deals that netted him more than $4,000.
Telephones are frequently placed at the
disposal of quarantined patients, and over
them they not only direct the details OF
their business but talk at will with their
friends in the outside world.

contributors to the paper consider
that Bryant's "Thanatopsis" and
Whitman's Captain, Ny Captain"
fill the requirements, The question
resolves itself, after all. into matter
of individual opinion, and depends for
the most part on the special appeal
that a poem makes to each reader. 1t
is the sentiment of the verse rather
than the form that decides, for the
technicalities OF construction in such
poems as those mentioned, as well as
in great many others of lesser note,
are above criticism. What is the

Americans Can Save.

Americans are provident people,
Notwithstanding their reputation for
generosity and loosening of plrse-
strings In having "a good time.
Fhe report Of the Controller of the
Currency is mighty interesting read
ing. True, most folks stagger at fig
ures, but there is something behind
the statistics in this report that is
comforting.
The Controller says that in this
country there are 7,O35, 22s depositors
In savings banks, and that the aver
age for each depositor is s4l7.2l, or a
totaI of 81, 935, 2O4, S45 laid away for a
rainy day.
1t is also encouraging to note that
the increase in deposits during the
past year was sls5, 027, 555.
"Save the dimes and the dollars
will take care care of themselves" is
a motto that has a more far-reaching
effect each year.
CloSe-fstedneSs and the disposition
to save have no relation whatever.
There are few people in this country
who could not save small part of
their earnings each week. 1t seems
that many OF them are doing this very
thing.
And it affords satisfaction TO every
one to know that nearly three billions
of dollars are almost the, instant COM

PANAMA CANAL TREATY.

Without the alteration Of word.
the Panama authorities have signed
the lsthmian canal treaty, which was
approved in the state department of
the United States just one week be-
fore. The document will now be SUBJ
mitted to the URited States Senate,
going first to the committee on foreign
relations. Under its provisions the
canal strip to be under the supervision
of the United States will be ten miles
wide. instead of six miles, as was pro-
posed with Colombia. Practically,
the treaty establishes a protectOrate
on the part Of this country, which
guaratees the territorial defense o.
the new republic, But, under the
Monroe doctrine, the United States
was already committed to the protec-
ton of the isthmus against foreign in
vasion, and, by treaty, to preserving
order along the line OF the isthmian
railway. The treaty with Panama
opens the way to the construction of
the isthmian canal under stable, salts
factory conditions. and renders def
mite the necessary details. Some minor
points are still to be worked out, but
the treaty as it stands covers main es-
sentials. Our responsibilities at the
isthmus were already large. The new
treaty renders them clearer, without
adding much to their fundamental
weight.
