Differences Between the United

Amicably Settled.
CUSTOMS RECEIPTS FOR PANAMA
Trade Cannot Enter tho Ports Of the
Canal Zone Without Paying the
Usual Revenue to tho Panama Gov.
rnment-Panama, However, Agrees
to Reduce the Rates of Duty,

Panama, Dec. 5.--The differences be-
tween the United States and Panama
which made necessary the visit of Sec
rotary Taft to the isthmus, were set
tied yesterday by the issuance of an
executive order signed by Secretary
Talft for President Roosevelt, and as
scented to in a letter by President ANA
dor Of Panama.
The order provides that no trade for
the canal zone or the republic of Pan
anna can enter the ports established by
the United States at either end Of the
canal. supplies for the construction OF
the canal and articles in transit being
excepted. This turns the customs re-
ceipts of these ports over to the gov
eminent OF Panama.
Panama agrees to reduce her tariff
from Is per cent advalorem to 10 per
cent. This reduction applies to all
goods except Wines liquors. alcohol
and opium. Panama also agrees to re-
duce her consular fees and port charges
to go per cent OF the rate at present
charged. Absolute free trade Is to APP
ply between the canal zone and the
republic of Panama. Vessels entering
the canal ports are granted free entry
to the ports Of Colon and Panama and
vessels entering the latter ports are
extended the same privileges In the
canal ports.
Complete Jurisdiction Is granted the
United States in the harbors of Colon
and Panama as to sanitation and quar-
antine regulations.
Panama reduces her rate of postage
to two cents and is to furnish all
stamps In the republic and in the canal
zone.
The order of Secretary Taft is to be
ineffective unless Panama shall put
into effect the gold standard. accord
ing to the currency agreement of June
20, 1904. 1t also makes a stipulation re-
garding citizenship rights to Panamans
in the canal zone and provision Is also
made in the order for maintenance by
the United States of important high
ways. The order is made effective on
December IL, 1905.

SELLING Safes in Baltimore.

Robert M. McLane. the mayor o.

Naturally, since our devastating fire
the statesmen OF safes have been doing
rushing business here.
II am told that two safe statesmen
representing rival firms, called on g
business man one morning last week
The first salesman said:
ITO demonstrate the quality of our
safes 1t is our custom to put a cat in
one of them, to lock it, to build a great
fire around it, and to leave it in the
flames for twenty-four hours. At the
end of the twenty-four hours we open
the safe and the cat leaps out unharm-

ours he said, and kept 1t surrounded
with fire for week. At the end of the
week what condition do you sup

THE WORD "cHIc."


Probably Derived YH0n = GeR10o
Word Meaning Clever.
The word Chic" which comes 70 ~
through the French, but IL probably
derived from the German geschickt,
clever. smart, has no exact equivalent
In our language. Murray, In bis stand
ard work, suggests as another posi-
BILE derivation that 1t may be an ab-
breviation Of chicane, In the sense Of .
deft twist or turn.
"Chic," used either AZ a substantive
or AZ an adjective, implies such style
and clever finish as gives an air Of dis
tinction to person or thing and
marks some excellence of fashion or
taste. Applied to the nne arts it de-
notes the faculty Of producing e6ec-
tive work with ease and skill, and
from this its society application =
correct grace and elegance and smart
ness follows very naturally.

| "The paymaster and 1 entered the
Casino and watched the play for an
hour or so, and then we ventured a
few modest louis at one of the rouge
et-noir tables. We were still implers
ed in the game, not much winner or
loser, when we heard loud laugh
over at one Of the roulette tables, and
we looked up to see what the fun was.
1.-THE laugh was over our fireman,
Rooney, who had just entered, AMI
was beginning to play at the roulette
table. Rooney was a figuAe Of fun, IL
ever saw one.
HE had rented an evening suit that
was about four sizes shy Of being big
enough for him. The excrusiatingly
tight trousers of the suit were about
six inches too short, and their short
ness afforded fine view of Rooney's
government straight brogans and white
socks.
His shirt was an elaborate pink

stood straight on end, and the coal
dust still clinging to the under lids Of
his blue eyes made them appear as II
he had penciled them that way, clown
wise, and had forgotten to wash Off
his maks-up.
Rooney grinned from ear to ear
when he saw us looking at him. but the
laughter of the blase people surround
ing the table didn't bother him In the
least. and he began to scatter his louis
around on the roulette numbers.
"He was luck from the jump, and in
side of quarter Of an hour he had a
fine stack of gold heaped in front Of
him. His extraordinary appearance
attracted the attention Of many OF the
players and strollers In the room, and
the men and women players at the
table patronized Rooney left of risk

finally making 1t maximums every

DRINKERS ARE A BAD RISK.
Life Insurance Experts Asitate for a
New Policy.

New York, Dec. 5. Actuaries Of
leading life insurance companies de-
clare that Investigations carried on
here and abroad show that drinking
men are such hazardous risks that a
new form policy should be adopted
governing their case.
In thirty six years the deaths num-
Der 1881 drinkers, as against 49,956
abst, 9-1ers Of men between the ages Of
20 and 20. The conclusion of the ac-
tuaries is that teetotalers. as a class,
live from ~ to rs per cent longer than
moderate drinkers as class.
There has been during the last year
an unusual amount of discussion by
leading physicians in England and
France on the value OF alcohol as
drug and it's dangers as beverage and
there is now on record a voluminous
mass of testimony on the question
which Is not only Of the highest scien-
titic character but also free from the
prejudice which stultifies most of the
prohibition literature. These conclus-
ions may be summed up thus:
In certain bodily conditions and when
carefully administered alcohol is val
liable drug, but at present 1t is used
much too freely, and consequently with
harmful results. It's use as a daily
beverage in any form IS pronounced
to be dangerous, physically and NOR
ally.
1t was found that the death rate even
among moderate drinkers OF the first
class Is much larger than among totai
abstainers. This finding was reached
from the statistics covering 10000
lives in q period OF sixty-one years. In
insurance phrase, however 1t was found
commissioners are good average lives,
generally equal to the best accepted
standards" but total abstainers show
ed marked superiority thruout the en-
tire working years Of the life Of both
sexes"
Thus from the age of 40 to that of SO,
which is regarded by insurance men as
the prime of life" there were 6,246
deaths among total abstainers and TO-
S61 among moderate drinkers, an ex-
cess of "a per cent in one decade. Be
tween the ages Of 20 and 80 the excess
was IL per cent, from 30 to 40 1t was
6S per cent. from so to 60 AZ per cent,
and from 60 to 10 10 per cent.
During the three decades from 80 to
60 years of age, Is the time when most
persons carry life insurance and when
the profits are being earned and ac-
cumulated. 1t is evident, therefore, say
insurance experts, that those in the
total abstinence department where
losses are so much smaller, stand
better chance of profitable returns. In
other words, with what the total abb
stainer saves in money by not drinking
and gains in insurance 1t is clear that
he is far better off financially than his
brother Of the moderate drinking class.

Lucky Sailor at Monte Carlo.

fence Of the thing, and because IN those
days a naval officer who hadn't at
least taken peek at the Monte Carlo
game was rather patronized by his
messmates.
I'VE arrived at Monte Carlo in the
afternoon. after strolling about the
place we started for the Casino. AS we
were entering we saw q fireman from
our ship. an odd looking, red-headed
Bowery boy named Rooney, trying to
convince the pompous attendant at the
door that he was entitled to enter the
place in his blue Jacket uniform.
1.-THE attendant couldn't see 1t. He
couldn't speak English, but he shrug-
ged his shoulders disdainfully as he
interposed his large frame between
the fireman and the passage way into
the Casino.
Rooney was addressing the door
keeper eloquently in his tough New
York dialect, but it was no use. The
man at the door wouldn't bulge from

amiably all the time, began to cuss out
the attendant.
"He looked as II he might be address,
Ing compliments to the sumptuously
uniformed attendant. but II the door
man had had any idea Of the horrible
things the fireman was saying to him

then looked sheepish.
