 Why all this fuss about calling Con- necticut the, Nutmeg State" It has bsen called that for generations and has thrived under the name. AS the nut meg adds flavor to the edible, so Con- necticut adds a flavor to the country. We need not go into history or remin- iscence to show that Connecticut is a spicy little state and her sons and daugh- ters perceptible and successful element everywhere The legends of the wooden nutmegs are not widely known outside the state, and rarely do we ever see Con- necticut referred to as the Wooden Nutmeg State" The most acceptable of the wooden netmeg legends is that more than one hundred years ago a grocer's boy in New London, while put ting up an order for New York customer, got some hickory nuts mixed in with the nutmegs, and the New London grocer promply got a "call down '" by return post from the New York party for trying to "adulterate !" the goods with wooden nutmegs. The incident was too humorous-to the grocer's thinking-to keep to himself, and then began the travels of the wooden nutmeg stories. That Yankee peddlers succeeded in manufacturing wooden nutmegs and passing them off on gullible Connecticut housewives,is is an absurd yarn to any one who knows a Connecticut housewife.

THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA.
And Why Colombian Bad Treatmer

And Why Colombian Bad Treatment
 Led to Its Establishment.
 The Minister of State in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Panama. Eusebio A. Morales, contributes to the December number of The North American Review an extremely interesting article on '"The Republic of Panama" In a historical sketch of the varying political relations of the Isthmus of Panama in past times. he shows how the effort of the inhabitants of the Isthmus has con- stantly been to resist the oppression of a central government which had little re- gard for the interets of the Isthmian people. The government of Colombia has obstinately neglected Panama. sending there public functionaries chosen not be- cause of their qualifications for public service. but for their subservience to those in power. Not a penny of the large amounts of money received from the Panama Railway as compensation for franchises. has been spent on works of public utility in the region through which that railway runs. The consequence is that, though blessed with great resources the country Is in a lamentably backward condition. and the people hailed the pros- pect of a completed canal as giving promise of redemption for their industrial
  And it was because their interests were not taken into account when the Herran- Hay treaty was rejected, that they have determined to see what they can do for themselves. Senor Morales gives an in- structive account of the varied resources of the Isthmus, and of what has been already done to set the government of the new republic on sound basis. The Minister makes several statements which. because of his responsible position, are of the utmost importance:
 "The external policy of the Republic it Is more difficult to determine; but no one can ignore the fact that in 1t the United States is the naturally ally of the Re- public of Panama by the force of events: and that alliance must, by the building of the canal become perpetual and indestruc tible It is the interest of the United States to guarantee the sovereignty of the Republic in whose territory that na- tion is about to execute the most im- portant work of the age; and Panama Is in absolute need of its guarantee that the new nation will be safeguarded against

APOPULAR WOMAN
AN INTERVIEW WITH MRS.
 ISAAC FULTON, OF IRWIN, PA.
She Was a Victim of Anaemia and Nervous Prostration But Dr. Williams Pink Pills Cured
 Her.

Mrs. Isaac Fulton, of Irwin, Pa, is one of the most popular women in that town. She is one of the hardest workers in her church and has accomplished a great deal of good. In recent interview she says:
 T want to make a statement for the benefit of others. Three years ago I was a victim of anaemia and nervous pros- tration and was cured by pr. WilIiams' Pink Pills for Pale People and 1 want others to know about this remarkable medicine.
 Too much work brought on my trouble I became entirely run down, lost my ap- petite, could not sleep well, was very thin and pale, nervous and without any ambi- ton. My liver and heart became affected my strength failed me and I was obliged to lie down part of every day. For two years I took treatment from excellent local physicians, but with no relief and then decided to see what Dr. Williams Pink Pills would do. I got some at the druggists and in a week after beginning their use was feeling much better Af- ter taking them a while longer my cheeks had filled out and taken color again. my strength and appetite returned and I was able to do my own housework. I am now perfectly well again and the credit is all due to pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
 Acting directly on the blood and nerves, these pills have cured many stubborn cases of nervousness, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. NVitus dance, rheI- matism, sciatica, and all forms of weak ness, whether in male or female. If you are sick you owe it to yourself to give them a trial. But remember that you cannot try Dr. Williams Pink Pills by taking something else' which may be offered as a substitute. Be sure that every box you buy bears the full name. Sold by all dealers in medicines or sent postpaid at fifty cents per box, six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, NY

S. W. SPEARS ARRESTED.
Charged With Acting as Immigra-
 tion Agent Without License

Centreville, Dec. 4-(Special. .)-S. W. Spears was arrested here today by Sheriff P. H. Crawford on a warrant sworn out charging him with acting as an immi- grafton agent without license being first paid to the State Auditor. The law re- quires $500 for each county in which such agent operates.
 Spears came here yesterday and imme- diately began trying to induce negroes to go with him to Mississippi. uite a num- Der had agreed to go with him, as he promised to furnish transportation and a sum of money to each one.
 The law under which he was arrested was passed by the last Legislature and this is probably the first arrest under the law. The lowest fine is $500. The case will come up for trial before tue Judge of the County Court the first Mon day in January. The bond was fixed at $1,OO0, and at this writing he has failed to make 1t.

 "As regards the obligations contracted by Colombia respecting the territory of the Isthmus and it's interoceanic high ways, the Republic Of Panama will com ply with them in perfect good faith, as 1t will also render effective the correspond ing rights which belong to 1t as the sue- cessor of Colombia. All apprehension in regard to any conflict, on the gpund of such rights and obligations, must be sup pressed"

W. T. c. U. CONVENTION.
Alabama Members in Session at
 Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa. Dec. 4-(Special. .)-The nineteenth annual convention of the Ala barna Women's Christian Temperance Union began with interesting exercises At the Slcra Nu Hall on Broad Street last evening. The exercises were opened with the Coronation hymn, after which fervent prayer was offered by the Rev. John ManLear.
 The address of welcome in behalf of the city was delivered by Mayor William G. Cochrane; in behalf of the churches, by the Rev. l.. O. Dawson; in bekalf of the University of Alabama by President John W. Abehcrombie; in behalf of the local Woben's Christian Temperance Union by Mrs. Frank s. Moody. All of the ad- dresses were very eloquent and gave the convention a most hearty welcome to Tuscaloosa.
 The response was made by Mrs. s. A. White of Birmingham. who spoke most tenderly of her recollections of Tusca- loosa.
 Miss Rhena Mosher of New York, a na- tional officer, was then introduced by the President, Mrs. Martha L. Spencer. She made a most interesting and instructive address on the history and progress of the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
 A musical program added much to the pleasure of the evening.

marriage of Francis Bugbee Clements, of this city and Miss Lorna Wynn Wilson of Birmingham, Is of more than passing interest to the many home friends of the popular groom, who is a representative of one of Tuscaloosa's most prominent families. He is at present president and manager of the Tuscaloosa Plumbing Company and c man of many sterling traits of character. The bride is the ac- complished daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. T. Wilson, and her arrival in Tuscaloosa wedding is to take place on December 1S. at 8 ?. m.
 The Alabama Bryce Insane Hospital has granted right of way over the hospital grounds to the extension of the Tusca- loosa Belt Railway to Holton, the Gen. tral Furnace site. five miles north of Tus- caloosa. The option on the right of way held by the belt line expired last summer and the hospital trustees refused to re- new the option unless the same freight rates be granted to them as the Tusca- ioosa merchants receive. This was refus- cd by the railway authorities, but at last an agreement has boon reached by which the hospital gets 8 better rate than at first offered. though not the same as the merchants get. Gen. J. K. Ober, Pres- tdent of the Tuscaloosa Railway, is soon to arrive from Baltimore, and it will then be decided whether the work will begin before the holidays. The requirements call for the work to be finished in six months. The extension means much to Tuscaloosa, as we'll as being a great ai- vantage to those residing at Holton.
 The third days session of the North Alabama Conference. (colored), in session at Northport. was called to order yester- day morning with Bishop R. s. Williams, D. D., presiding. Unfinished business was the order of the day, Rev. R. '. Brown. editor of The Christian Index, was introduced and spoke very encouraging:y of his work. stating that the paper had subscription of 10000. Interesting talks were made by Rev. K. T. Thompson and H. M Mitchell of the A. M. B. Zion Church. The Tuscaloosa District present. ed Rev. F. A. Bailey with a handsome suit of clothes. A purse containing $I5 was presented to the Bishop.
 The advanced music pupils of Miss Stel- la Harris gave plano recital at ner studio on Twenty-second Avenue last evening. Those who participated were {: Thomas H. Simpson, Miss Gussie Gaines. Miss Stella Harris, Miss Lena Hawkins, Mis- Edith Lodge and MT. J. B. Murphy.
