penitentiary, that Will Edmondson

transient negroes played confidence

money, and was accosted by the two
men at the corner where the Grenada

mules will participate in the different
races. Besides the regular purses
hung up, w. e. Smith, the jeweler,
offers a fine watch to the owner OF the
mule winning the last days race. No
little interest is being taken in these
races, which cannot fail to prove an
interesting feature. The other events
scheduled are also attracting much
attention, and already the owners of
several good ones" have signified
their intention of competing for the
purses to be hung up, which are more
liberal than heretofore.

WORDS OF PRAISE.
Exchanges Highly Compliment the Gre

pronounced success of this popular
educational institution. The number
Of students is constantly increasing,

is rapidly spreading:

date those who attend the institution.

prize up the earth. - This school has a
leaver behind it that prizes up every
young man and woman who attends
that college. That lever is the Presi-

Judge Somerville, of the Board Of
United States General Appraisers,
tells how the late Judge Gray decided
one of the earliest customs classii-
cation cases to come before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The article under consideration was a
preparation of fish which had been as
sessed for duty as a sauce. The in
ferior courts had given conflicting
opinions as to whether it really was a
sauce, and by the time the issue reach
ed the dignified Supreme Court the
decisions either way were voluminous
enough to confuse the most clearhead-
ed jurist.
Judge Gray examined the article, ac-
cording to The Philadelphia Ledger,
but could not make up his mind. His
colleagues were equally undecided.
When things came to a standstill it
occurred to Judge Gray that a house
wife would probably be better qualiti-
ed to decide a matter of this kind. He
took sample of the article home to
Mrs. Gray.
Nonsense, that's no sauce; it's fish,"
she said, and the next day the Supreme
Court of the United States solemnly
decided the article was not a sauce.

PANAMA PAYMENTS.

There is no longer any doubt that
the Panama treaty will be ratified.
The speech of Senator Clarke of Arkan-
sas on Tuesday made it clear that
| enough Democratic senators would
vote for it to insure it's ratification.
While there will be other speeches
bearing on the treaty and Panama
affairs they will attract comparatively
little attention, unless they contain
something that is highly sensational.
Mr.. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury,
is preparing to make the payments
that will be due as soon as the treaty
is ratified. These are $40, 00O,0O to the
Panama Canal Company and 100000
to the republic of Panama. There has
been considerable talk to the effect
that these payments might be the
cause of a great deal of financial dis
turbance, but at present there doesn't
appear to be any ground for such talk.
There is certainly no apprehension of
financial trouble on account Of them.
There is approximately S160O0O, 900 in
the national bank repositories. 1t is
die of this month the secretary will is
sue a call for 20 per cent. of this
amount, and that little later he will
call for an additional 10 per cent,
making in all 45.OOO,O 900. These
amounts, together with S5,OOO,O0O to be
taken from the money already in the
treasury, will make the amount neces-
sary to meet the canal payments.
For a time there was talk of holding
back the amount that is to be paid to
the republic of Panama until there
was some sort of understanding with
Colombia. but it is doubtful if any ar
rangement made for placating Colom-
bia would lessen the amount promised
to the baby republic of the isthmus.
1t wouldn't be surprising if the
United States were in possession of
the canal early III the spring. From the
present outlook there isn't any reason
why they shouldn't be. OF course it
will be to the interest of the United
States to push the work on the canal
along as vigorously as possible.
There are 5000 men at work on the
canal now, and it isn't probable that
the ratification of the treaty will bring
about cessation of work. The United
States will assume charge of the work
and the Panama Canal Company will
cease to be factor in the situation
on the isthmus.
OF course at an early day as pos
sible the United States will introduce
new methods of conducting the work.
will adopt new plans and will make
new contracts. The Americans will
take up the work and the French will
depart from the scene which has been
the burial place of so much of the
savings of the French people.
