There is diplomacy" at work in Washington. The House of Repre- sentatives have been adroitly let. cut of the treaty with Panama through the shrewd work of the Secretary of State.

 The Spooner act declared that the sum of s10,000,Oo0 is hereby approp-i- ated, out of any money in the t.easu- " rot otherwise appropriated, to- ward the project herein contemplated by either route so selected This would just cover the payment to Pan anna. It will be remembered that the president was authorized to pay s40,000,000 for the property of the New Canal Company. and the Sec retary of the Treasury was authorized to issue ? per cent bonds to the ex- tent of s130.000,000 to pay the cost Of constructing it, and the president is authorized to enter into contracts for ;excavatinG construction. completion and defense.

There may be trouble over the matter before tie entire deal is consummated.

THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT.

THE cocoANUT.
 The whole milk in the cocoanut of the Panama disgraceful proceeding came out today when il was an nounced in the New York press that the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan & 70. had bee made the fiscal agents of the new Republic of Panama in this coun- try. That means that this firm of captains of finance" will finance the new republic and get the rake-off. That accounts for the fact that the New York Sun. which has been hither- to bitterly antagonistic to Roosevelt, has come out and endorsed the action of the administration in garroting and robbing the Republic of Colombia. That paper is owned and controlled by Mir. Morgan. It also shows that all the talk about Wall Street and the Morgan interests being opposed to Roosevelt will not longer go down the throats of a hitherto overcredulous public. They are all together now in one happy band of commercial free booters and Bashi Bazouks, and it is singularly unfortunate that Senator Germans leadership in the senate has failed completely to get the democrats in that body to refuse absolutely 10 have anything to do with the new opera 'bouffe republic and defeat any treaty that may come before it for ratification. The man who votes ln the senate to ratify treaty with this Roosevelt made re- public will lind himself confronted with the charge of endorsing dis honorable action.

QUIT THE TURKEY BUSINESS.
How Secretary Whitney's Good In-
tentiOns Were Spoiled by a Few
Impatient Women,

The story of how few impatient
women destroyed a mighty good
resolution was recently told by the
chief clerk of the navy department.
In 1888 Secretary Whitney was de-
layed in getting out his report, and
finally had to push it through with
rush, says the New York Tribune.
$50 well was the work done,' says
Mr.. Peters, land SO pleased was the
secretary, that two days before
Thanksgiving he sent for me and
said: Mr.. Peters, / wish you would
go to the market and buy a turkey
for every employe of the government
printing office But, Mr.. Secretary
l replied, 1T would require 5000 tur.
keys to fill that order 1t makes no
difference if 5000 would be needed;
buy them 1T is impossible / said;
there are not 5000 unsold turkeys
'Then,' said he, ascertain the names
of the men who had the principal
part in getting out the report, get a
turkey for each to-day, and order
the necessary numbers 900 or 5000
and see that they are delivered in
time for Christmas Under these in
structions nine turkeys were sent
to the printing office that day. The
next morning the secretary received
ten letters. Nine were notes Of
thanks, and the other was a letter
from SIS girls in the bindery, who
demanded a turkey each because OF
the part they had taken in getting
out the report. AS soon as he read
that letter the secretary of the navy
said: Mr.. Peters, have gone out Of
the turkey business Nothing fur
Their was necessary. The Christmas
distribution was not made, and all
on account of the haste of SIS women
to get recognition for their services.

SAVES HER DOLLARS.
MRS. Hetty Green, Richest Woman In
America, Let's Not a Single
Penny Go Astray.

Mrs. Hetty Green, of Hoboken, n.
j., and Flatbush, L. l., with a bust
ness Office in New York and resi-
dence in Rhode Island, is one of the
most picturesque characters of the
time. Her fortune has reached in
calculabIe proportions, yet she lives
more economically than the average
New York clerk, whose income does
not exceed 500 per month. She
delights in driving shrewd bargain,
and never gives up penny without
a satisfactory equivalent. She owns
valuable real estate in every large
city in the United States, notably in
Chicago, where she has several tracts
of over 100 acres each, in promising
parts of the city.
Hetty Green was born rich, as were
her parents before her, the family
having been for years identified with
the large whaling trade which CEN
tered about New Bedford. As
young girl she was pertinently called
the "Princess of Whales" and was
even then regarded as one of the
country's greatest heiresses. AT sar-

REST AND MILK CURE.
Woman Tells How She Regain d
Weight and Strength in a Truly
Delightful Way.

"Want to learn how to increase
your weight and gain strength and
nerve force in the easiest possible
way?" asked the plump little woman,
as she settled into a corner of the
divan for a comforta bic chat. Her
listeners were half dozen women
who go in for the strenuous life to
greater or less uegree, and conse-
auentIy any one of them can stand
a few extra pounds without incon-
venience.
"Of course" was the reply, in cho-
rus.
"Well, then, drink milk, nothing
but milk, for MONTHS said the plump
one. 1--WE tried it, and 1 think /
am pretty good illustration of the
effectiveness of the milk diet. Four
months ago l was a nervous wreck.
Couldn't stand anything, wept if the
least thing went wrong at home,
jumped a foot every time the door
bell rang, and was fast becoming a
nuisance to myself and all the rest
of the family.
fortunately, I have little COM
mon SSHSc, anu my uOCCoi udS HloAc
SO when L was ordered to drop every
thing and just rust for awhile, did
it, with the result that have gained
81 pounds in weight and my health
is completely restored.
II lived on milk, as L told you, anti
rested according to directions, spend
ing my time in lovely old rest cure
home up the state. The diet and the
rest effected a cure without any med
icine whatever; I might add, though,
that the milk was not the ordinary
decoction, served by the dealers of
the metropolis, but a rich, creamy
substance furnished by the finest
breed of Jersey cows.
How hard it was for an active
body like me to rust for 16 weeks

but if you want to become plump and

Lamps often burn badly for want
of cleanliness. Keep them carefully
trimmed and entirely free from oil on
any part of the surface and occasion
ally-about once month-give the
burner a special cleaning to remove
from it all bits of charred wick and
dust, for these prevent the lamp from
burning brightly and cause it to smell.
The best plan is to boil the burner
for few minutes in strong soda wa
ter. for this will loosen all dirt and
after being rinsed in clean water and
dried it may be put back in the lamp
and will be found as good as new. If
YOU have not a suitable old saucepan
the boiling may be done in an old to-
mato tin. for the paraffin would rem

LOOKING FOR A RIVER.
Senator Depew's Conception of the
Rio Grande and What the
Reality Was.

Into speech Senator Depew interjected
an anecdote, says the Washington Post.
Very early in. my boyhood," said he, Il
read about the great rivers of the globe.
Having been born on the Hudson, was in
terested in the Amazon, with 5000 miles
of navigation, and took great pride in the
Mississippi, the Father of Waters. studied
the stories of the Nile and of the Old Tiber.
l delighted in the descriptions of the Rio
Grande.
But it was not my pleasure to be near
the Rio Grande till FIVE years ago. As soon
as our train reached FL Paso l went out
to view the beautiful Rio Grande, to see
the commerce floating upon its bosom, and
the crafts and palaces, such as go up and
down on the Hudson. | walked more than
an hour, and returning. saw an aged man.,
who. believed, would likely be truthful.
l asked him where was the Rio Grande.
Sir" said he, you have already crossed
it twice
Senator Depew said, after that he was
forced to the conclusion that ''the rivers
of New Mexico have their bottoms on top"

The Return of the Apron.

AS another sign of reversion on
the part of our girls to femininity
there is prophesied the return of the
apron, long banished to maids ward
robes and to below stairs regions.
Now it is coming to the fore by de-
grees, and by the time all indoor
things are in full swing it will be a
recognized part of every woman's
house uniform, states the Detroit Free
Press. Of course, it will be an ornate
affair, made of materials expensive
and dressy and with everything pos
sible done to it to relieve it of its util-
itarian aspect, though it will have
strings; no apron is complete without
strings for the tying up of various
persons that like to be held by such
means&

MRS. HETTY GREEN.

atoga she was a belle, and was assid.
uously sought in marriage by men
prominent in social life. Since, she
has spent her years in increasing her
fortune. Her husband died at the old
Green homestead in Bellows Falls
last spring. The richest woman in
the world not long ago secured per-
NIT to carry revolver, and was
quoted as saying that she wanted it
handy to keep lawyers from bully
ing her.
Mrs. Green knows her own mind,
and makes a good guess at the minds
of others. When a reorganization
committee was appointed for Hous-
ton & Texas Central some years
ago the aforesaid committee found
out these characteristics of Mrs.
Green. The committee sent out no.
tees to the bondholders outlining
the plan for reorganization. Now
it happened that Mrs. Green had
come into possession of a consider
able amount of those bonds.
The committee was holding meet
ing. A boy came in and announced
that lady wanted to see the COM
mittee, one who would not be re-
fused, and who would not go away. Aft
err moments hesitation the commit
tee told the boy to send her in. She
came in. The members of the commit
tee saw the woman in the door. They
looked at her, and she looked at
them, and she looked not SO kindly.
She shortly announced that she
owned most of the bonds they were
doing the talking about, and she
wanted to know what right they had
to make a settlement of the fate of
those bonds for her.
eff there are to be TERMS" said
Mrs. Green, 81 think I should make
them, being the holder of the bonds"
The committee looked at her
again. The committee straightway
surrendered at discretion. Mrs.
Green gained place on the reorgan-
ization committee of the Houston. &
Texas Central.

GREAT many remedies to

IA temporarily relieve catarrh
4 n have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and
other local applications, but, as rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the trea tment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensa-
ton in medical circles when DR.. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in a short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file
in the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
Rev. e. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis,
writes: ct feel obliged to extend you
my personal thanks for my complete
restoration. All through the winter l
suffered from throat and lung trouble,
but recovered my entire health by the
use of your excellent remedy, Peruna."
The following letter from a prom
inent gentleman of Los Angeles, is a
case in point:
Mr.. j. w. Fuller, President of the
jewelers. Association of Los Angeles,
Cal. has been in business in that city
for seventeen years out of the forty-fve
that he has been engaged in business.
Concerning his experience with Peruna
he says:

me but to no purpose, until my atfeH-
ton was called to fhe wonderful effects

al must say that met with most
surprising and satisfactory results.
Peruna took hold of the complaint and
drove 1t entirely out of my system.

The news that the women at Dallas,
Tex, are angry because Mrs. Roose-
welt sent them a ten-cent cotton
handkerchief in response to their re-
quest for a gift which they might
sell at a public entertainment for the
benefit of the local kindergarten has
apparently made little impression at
the white house. No information
was obtained as to the exact quality
or style of this handkerchief, but
the fact is that the applications for
such gifts during the winter season
amount TO at least 100 every week,
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1903-03-12

and these requests are invariably
granted by the presidents wife.
There is reason to believe that the
Dallas women are not alone in their
disappointment over the fact that
Mrs. Roosevelt has not responded to
their appeals by something at least
as valuable as gold spoon or dia-
mond necklace.
Yet the presidents salary is only
$4,000 year, and his expenses are
quite heavy. 1t is said that the APP
peals made to him and Mrs. Roose
welt for donations to charitable and
other objects amount to a goo,i many
thousand dollars every year, if not
every month.
