Cleveland's Action.

Mr.. SpOoner. in referring to the action
of Intervention on the isthmus during
the Cleveland Administration. ex-
claimed
No one heard any Comanche war
whoop throughout this country because
President Cleveland saw mis- duty and
did it,"
In picturing the attitude Of the Bo-
gotta government, the Senator declared
that with all the tyranny Of Spain In
Cuba that island was of governmental
purity compared to the long continued
condition OF the Panama people ruled
from Bogota.
Who here" he exclaimed, IF they
had been Panamanians. would not have
been insurgents? The history is the
most infamous OF outrage and robbery"
Mr.. SpoOner said the President had
been charged with having recognized
the principle of secession. IN not take
that question up. 1t belongs more ia
lodge OF lady confederates for dis
cussion. Laughter. 1t has no place
here"
The Senate adjourned at $50 at the
conclusion of the Spooner remarks.

Colombians a NANCY Lot.

The Senator from South Carolina de-
MED the charge that he didn't sympa-
thize with the Panamanians. Il think
the COlombians are a NANCY lot he
declared. Il don't object TO liberty for
the Panama people. / do protest against
the methods by which il was accomp-
lished."
''Oh. yes, retorted Mr.. Spooner. The
Senator would rather take a squint-eyed
view OF the Presidents action for purely
partisan purposes
Mr.. Spooner denounced the treaty Of
1916. We've been an instrument Of
tyranny" he declared. allied with the
Colombian government, but we didn't
dare drop the sword OF tyranny 10 the
ground. II We had. some other govern
ment would have been asked 10 main
tain the sovereignty and free transit
across the isthmus, and we could never
have permitted that"
When the Senator from Wisconsin be-
gan his remarks there were few mem
| bcrs present. Before he had progressed
/ far seats filed rapidly and the galleries
| became crowded.

Leading Contestants.

In all there were three contestants
who claimed TO have made 2H words,
with AZ letters remaining. and three who
had 2i7 words, with 48 letters left. OF
the former one duplicated the word
whip" which threw the list back
among those which had 246 words. or
the latter. one used too many letters.
which, under the conditions. disqualified
his list altogether. This left two con-
testants with IL unused letters, and two
with 4S
Consequently. two contestants We're
tied for the first and second prizes and
two for the third and fourth. In both
cases the contestants have decided to
add the prizes together and divide the
amounts equally between them.
Those who tied for the first and Sec
Ond prizes Were Mrs Florence GigOus,
OF 521 Eleventh Street southeast. and
Lincoln Il. Smith. Of 1882 Oregon Avenue.
The first prize being $50 ana the second
S25, each Will receive $3.50.
The tie for the third and fourth prizes
was between Mrs. ollie Herfurth. OF So
Eleventh Street southeast, and f. n.
Lovewell, of 1877 Ninth Street northwest.
Each Will receive $3.50
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-02-21

When The Times second word con-
test closed a week ago last night. con-
testants who had submitted 245 words,
and perhaps good many who had sub
mitted less retired with a feeling that
if they should dream of winning a prize
the dream would merely be a forecast
of what was to be announced as soon as
the returns had been canvassed.
In fact. until within a day or two be-
fore the contest closed, those who re-
ceived the solutions at The Times office
inferred from the information vouch-
safed by contestants that 245 words
would be the probable limit. When on
the last day several contestants init
mated that the number would be greater,
even then the limit was not placed
higher than 246, and with il was asso-
ciated a strong suspicion that whoever
submitted that number would discover
that certain letters had been used toe
often.
1t will be seen. however. by the result
published today that neither estimate
was high enough, and that the winning
lists contained 247 words.
Adding the figures which compose this
number we have 13. The contest closed
on the 18th of the month. The question,
key TO the problem. Whether this be
true or not, examination of the various
solutions does not show that any espe-
cial rule or system was discovered for
working out the puzzle that gave better
results than another.

Can we in one day our gratitude
tell?
Let's not confine it to one day OF
living,
Let us be thankful tomorrow as
WE'LL
Thankful we are for the dear ones
who love us,
Thankful for all things that maketh
life sweet,
Thankful that Gods boundless blue is
above us,
Thankful that Gods earth is under
our feet,
~
Lamely attempt all our blessings to
tell,-
Why just be thankful this day or week
only?
Let us be thankful all next week as
well!
Why should We circumscribe thank
full confessions
To the scant space of a week, month
or year?
No inventory of worldly possessions
Lists half the blessings that maketh
life dear!
Health, strength and happiness. Joy
in life's living,
Husbands and friends, forsooth.

Too greats the number for one davis
Thanksgiving,
Let us be thankful each day of our
lives.
