"Why, Bills got an invite to 50

to 20 unless it's writ out proper"
THAT would depend on the nature OF

 It is confined almost entirely to sunrAv. Hls the staple requirements of the local PopuIation. There are two or three whole saIe dealers who maintain depots for the oistrloution Of merchandise, but their ac tiVity IS local. The pearl fisheries which are managed here but owned in Paris. is the only commercial enterprise which brings Panama in contact with the ont side world as producer, the popular idea that Panama hats are made here being entirely fallacious. Those hats are made Tn Guayaquil, Ecuador, 300 miles from Panama. and are more rare here by far than they are in the States. The retail trade of the city--except for the poor and insignificant native portion--is almost ex cluslVely in the hands of the French and chinese the latter being the most i'm portant. Three steamship companies-the racine Mall South American and Pacific SteamN Navisation-maintain a regular ser wee to the isthmus. Their business is however. restricted to transIsthmian shin. ments and since the La Boca terminal or the railroad is completed 1t no longer passes through Panama proper, though this city's people handle and profit from 1t.
 Such is Panama-a city which may be said to be slowly expiring of hamilton. Today 1t is poor. dirty, squalid and pes- tilential. Tomorrow its people hope to see 1t rich. clean, prosperous and healthy. all their dreams of a change so complete turning upon their belief that ''the canal is coming"

A large audience witnessed the produc- ton of "A Silver Dagger" by the Paige Comedy Company at McDonaid's Theatre last night and the company again played to an .appreciative audience. The play is rather sensational but the plot is well worked out and the climaxes are good. The cast did the respective rolls acceptably. s,t The specialties as usual made a hit with the audience.
