Uncle sam Now owns Canal Route.


PARIS, April 23.-The contract by
which the ownership Of the Panama
canal passes to the United States is
now signed, sealed, delivered and com
plete. The title to the canal route is
now vested in the government of the
United States. The document by
which this transaction is consummat-
ed bears the signatures of President
30 and Director Richman of the Pan
anna Canal company, who signed for
the company as its responsible officials.
The transfer is complete and without
reservation, and the United States Sc
cures perfect title. This result has
been accomplished quietly and most
Unexpectedly, as the public had been
given to understand that the contract
would not be executed until after the
meeting of the stockholders of the
Panama Canal company today. Only
few of the highest officers Of the
company are now aware of the secret,
which will not be known except by
this announcement in the United
States up to the time Of the meeting.

A JUDGMENT ON sPOONER.

The power OF an eloquent attorney over the emo.
lions OF the average American jury is Illustrated
IN this experience Of Senator John c. Spooner. He
Is one OF the best de5aters in the United States
Senate. and he relates the following. which oc-
CURED while he in active practice OF law IN
Wisconsin. He had been professionally retained to
defend man who had been indicted and arrested
for uttering counterfeit money. At the trial IN
court the evidence seemed strong for conviction
there little hope LETT of saving his client The
evidence was clearly against him.
Whatever success have met in such ernersen-
cies" continued tho Senator has been largely due
to ability TO discover the weak points of my adj
versary, and then concentrate all my strength
against them, especially when dealing with the al
most hopeless side OF question. I had discovered
in this trial that the Jury was like most Of our
country turies. composed Of men who could be
moved by sympathy. I therefore had to work on
their sensibities Just before the close OF the
trial discovered fairly good sized Bible In a
pocket Of my clients overcoat. When I came to
examine 1t found this inscription written on the
fyleaf of the book: Presented to my devoted SON
from his affectionate mother
This Bible was my clew. With all the eloquencs
and pathOs at my command then pleaded with
the jury that bad wicked man could be so
depraved as alleged in this trial. and at the same
time be carrying around in his pocket copy OF
the Holy Bible. the gift OF his mother. The jury
men were soon in tears. 1t is enough 70 say they
refused. after listening 20 this appeal 20 convict
my client. and he acquitted
Subsequently he called and settled his account
by paying double the amount OF my bill out OF
gratitude for saving him from long sentence In
prison. Before taking his final leave Of nv of1cs
he handed me again that same Bible saying: SYon
had a good deal to say about it during the trial
wish you would make a little more careful exami-

II took the Bible and did requested 7 handed

FAIRBANKS HOMESTEAD.
To Be a Museum of Family Heir
looms at Dedkam, BASS.

1t is an interesting coincidence that the home OF
Jonathan Fairbanks the founder Of the Fairbanks
family in this country. should be formally set aside
as a museum Of historical relics within twenty
four hours OF the nomination Of Senator Charles
W. Fairbanks. Of Indiana, of his descendants.
the Republican candidate for Vce-President.
The deeds transferring the famous old homestead
in Dedham to the Incorporated association OF the
Fairbanks Family in America were recorded on
June %. The house is to be used headquar-
ters for the family association and museum OF
heirlOOms and other historic relics 1t Is a low
rooted picturesque structure. and Is to be placed
nearly possible in its original condition and
opened to the public. In looking tho house
recently. Judge Rufus G. Fairbanks Of West Med
way. treasurer and custodian Of the Fairbanks
family property. and John Wilder Fairbank found
the timbers and walls Of the quaint old building
in as perfect condition when Jonathan Fair
banks brought the original beams and JOists from
England when he built the house. In 1885 For
some unexplained reason. although the country in
which he settle almost virgin forest.
he brought over with him lot OF timbers and
5oists of the best English oak and these forrn
part Of the original farmhouse to-day. Perhaps
he thought that he could get the kind OF tim
Der he desired here, at any rate Of q sufficiently
seasoned quality.
The old farmhouse is a rambling structure. beau
tfuIly situated beneath enormous spreading elms
on the top OF a little knoll. or rise The main por-
ton has a long slOping roof that reaches nearly
to the ground In the back, and d low, squat CHM

side. The farm stretches away from the house
for some distance all Sides Inside to be
found the curious old furnishings and the old
fashioned deep freplaces found in all old Colonial
houses. The present occupant IS Miss Rebecca
Fairbanks OF the eighth generation.
John Wilder Fairbank says that there are i've
thousand living families who are descendants Of
Jonathan Fairbanks, who settled in Dedham and
built the old farmhouse. Year before last he

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR AN EGG

eggs of a certain Indian game hen which was

For centuries the Indian game Azeel fowls

Senator Fa;rbanhs's friends always complain that
ne Is too modest. and there is much truth in the
charge. HIS speech on the Panama situation In the
senate last winter was of the most compre-
henslve and abest discussions of the case present
ed but HIS manner OF delivery, which was the re-
verse or assertve. prevented its being appreciated
AT It's ful value. and some Senators who spoke
!ater did not hesitate to borrow from Mr.
falrbanks's ideas, but they expressed themselves
win so much more confidence and vehemence that
Ie" recognized the source of their information.
The Senator is great reader and widely cultured
man. possessing an unusually thorough grasp on
VIDE diversity of subjects. but Notwithstanding
thls TACT he seldom advances an opinion without

would seem to me that they would avoid each
others company
This Damon and Pythas intimacy on the part OF
the Indiana leaders has been matter of much
comment in Washington throughout the last two or
three years. 1t has also caused great merrment at
times In political circles. Here's Fairbanks; how
soon will Beverdge loom up?" has been common
remark heard about political gatherings. How much
mutual friendship prompted this watchfuness on
the part of the Indiana Senate delegation, or how
much was brought about by suspicion. must be
answered by Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge
themselves. Certain it is that if they have not been
the best of friends they have been too polite TO
admit it TO their most intimate acquaintances.
When approached on the subject they have in
VaTiably parted the thruss with great adroitness
AS an illustration of the fun that has been manu-
featured at the Senator's expense this sup
posed state Of chiliness little incident at ban
quet recently attended by both might be recounted

proper temperature by placing the glass between
