SOMETHING OYER
one MILL
Estimate of What Chadwick Estate
will Pay on the Dollar.

Cleveland, o., Dec. l1.--A ccording tt
the most accurate estimate of the estate
of Mrs. Chadwick that is possible, before
the receiver has ip vestigated her assets
and reported his findings to the court
her creditors, as whole, will receive
about one and one half mills on the dol
lar
What lends additional interest to this
showing, from the creditors standpoint,
is that one man, Iri Reynolde, will re-
ceiye the whole of the assets visible at
the present time. There may be funds
10 reserve somewhere, as there may be
additional creditors who have not yet
announced that Mrs. Chadwick is indebt-
ed to them, but it is not expected by
bankers and attorneys of this city, who
have the greatest knowledge OF her af-
fairs. that any more large sums will be
developed
The extert Of her operations is now
believed to be approximately as follows:
Secured from Citizens National Bank
of Oberlin and various sources in and
about Lorain County, Ohio, $500, 600.
Borrowed from Herbert d. Newton,
$3.50, 900
Borrowed from business men in Pitts
burg, x5OO,0O
Total. 81 100 600.
Against this stands security of known
value on one note amounting to $500,
which 10 held by Iri Reynolds.
The amount of money received by Mrs.
Chadwick in Pittsburg may run as high
as $500, 900, but it is believed that por-
ton OF this sum is bonus promised by
her for an original loan OF at least $780,
600. Her creditor there figures that she
is Indebted to him for the larger amount,
while he has admitted that she owes
$500. 600. IF her debt in this direction is
$500. OC0, the probability in sight of the
creditors is about one and ONT fifth mills
on the dollar
1t is not believed by any OF the attor-
neys in the case that the Carnegie secur-
tiles will be of any account whatever.

.CANALAT SEA LEYEL
Bunau-varilla's Idea Of the Panama
Waterway.
DAMS AND LOCKS AT FIRST
Then q Gradual Transformation Into a
Locklesy Sea Level Form Accord
ing to System Worked Out by
Himself, the Plan He Sug-
gests.

Paris, Dec. II. Philippe Bunau-
Varilla, who before being Minister of
Panama to Washington was the prln-
cipal engineer of the Panama Canal.
has given an interview relative to the
building of the canal at sea level is
not only possible. hut it must ultl-
mately be so constructed. as are other
connections between oceans. like the
straits of Bosphorus between the Black
Sea and the Aegean Sea Asked If the
Panama Canal ought to te constructed
at once at sea level NJ. Buna- VaIilla
replied:
Not at all. To he a perfect sea
level the canal must be free from any
artificial works and there is perhaps
no engineer who would he willing to
accept the responsibility OF building
il Immediately without dams on the
upper Chagres TO regulate the floods
and without side locks at Panama to
counteract in the canal the currents
due to the ten foot tide in the Pacific.
The motion of free discharge from
the ChagIes in lockless sea level
anal must result from experience
which would be acquired by working
lock canal with a central lake, such
as that IsdevIsed in 1892. and which
was adopted by the lsthmian Canal
Commission in 1901. The construction
of such canal would give expert.
mental data about the necessary cross
section of the canal, about the slopes
of the deep cut at Calebra and about
the sediments of the Chsgres, all of
which are essential for building sea
level passage successfully.
AS to the changing from the lock
to the sea level form, gave in 1887
n solution which / communicated re-
Gently to Admiral Walker. 1t is an
easy, practical and cheap method OF
gradually transforming tie lock canal
into sea level without stopping navi
cation five minutes. It utillzes for
the sea. level canal all the work done
for the lock canal, except, naturally,
dams and locks This solution en-
tiIely protects the future.
In one woli, think 1t would be
great error to begin with the sea level
plan at once. 1t would cost 500, 900. 900
more and require twice as much time
The lock plan will be amply sufficient
until the traffic reaches Az, 900, 900 tons
that IS to say, seven times the
probable traffic IN the first years oper-
tions and will lead by experimental
of sea level passage. =

ceived penitentiaIy sentences.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
A Pretty Screen.

l saw screen lately at farmhouse,
where it was used to hide big ugly
heating stove. 1t was made in three
panels, the two outside ones FIVE feet
high and the center one ten inches
higher, but all were twenty -four inches
In width. The frame was made of pine
an inch thick and three inches wide
and was the work Of one of the men
folks.
The frame was painted black with
paint left from redressing the carriage.
The front was covered with gray dress
cambria put on with gilt headed tacks,
while the back was covered with fine
sacking dyed dark blue. Upon each Of
these latter panels were stitched two
pockets of the same material before it
was tackled to the frame. These pro-
vided a fine place for papers, maya
zines, the dustpan and brush. The
gray panels were decorated with flow-
ers cut from colored plates taken from
seed catalogues and floral magazines,
and as the arrangement was very
artistic and each flower carefully cut
out the effect was that Of hand paint
ing. Photo paste was used for putting
on the flowers, as it does not dampen

as medicinal vapors can by this means
be absorbed and various ills cured
without the aid of internally admins

advantage of the vapor bath apparatus
