Collector-sir, may l present you
this little bill?
Owen--May you-may you? An,
my dear sir, never ask my permission
again. It is entirely superhuous, | as
sure you. Why, my dear man, II you
had ever seen any one else present a
bill to me and seen how little 1t at.
fected me, you would never have hesi-
tated for moment. See? | file 1t

papers I possess. And-would you
please do me this slight favor-would
you please tell your boss that | re-
ceived you with the utmost courtesy
and that beg him to send one OF
these every month? And-stay a mo-

to send you, and that no other col
lector will please me half so WE'LL
Your courtesy, my dear sir, has won
my heart, and assure you that or
the nineteen collectors that have
been here to-day, you are the only one
that has gone away in a good humor.
Why, those fellows are so aggrayat-

rudely shall positively pay them to
get rid of them. Good day.-Balti'

tariff concessions were granted to i'm

An act that met with universal ap-

a bureau of corporation was estab-

the late president, became its chief.
When congress adjourned, or rather
expired, March 3, two questions were
nsettled-Cuban reciprocity and the
Panama canal, but as the treaties con-

OF the senate, President Roosevelt
summoned the new senate into exist
ence Immediately to consider the two
measures. The reciprocity treaty was
ratified, but the nature Of its pro-
visions required action by the house,

NOTABLE EVENTS OF THE YEAR 1905


10th France followed our example. M.
3unau-Var was hurried to Wash
ington as the minister Of the new
country, empowered to negotiate a
new Panama canal pact. Soon after
General Reyes Of Colombia entered
an earnest protest against the course
Of the administration, insisting that
Uncle Sam keep his hands of the
isthmus. This, after the practical
breach of faith and the vacillation Of
the Colombians in regard to the canal
treaty, was too tardy, and Uncle Sans
navy Is preparing to protect Panama
from threatened invasion, Already an
American feet is upon the Panama
coast, and Colombia has reached a
point when she confesses a fear Of
taking any drastic action. A new canal
treaty has been signed, and once again
the canal seems assured. There may,
however, be some blood shed on the
isthmus before Colombia finally re-
linquishes her claim to Panama.
Russia and Japan.
For the last few months the ever
lasting refrain has been Of war clouds
lowering over the far east" A dozen
times it has been reported that Japan
and Russia had reached point where
war was inevitable. The causes Of
the breach are vague and indefinite.
Briefly, Russia is and always has been

The year 1903 will be known as the
record year Of prosperity in the Unit
ed States.
Some few crops have not yielded so
largely as they did in former years,
but the prices received were so much
higher that the shortage was more
than made up for.
Cotton reached the highest figure at
which 1t has been sold since the war.
Beef and leather have been unprece'
dentedly high. Petroleum and its
products advanced in price 20 per
cent.
Iron and steel were sold at high
prices and the demand was SO great
that orders could not be filed within
q reasonable time, and seaport cities
made large purchases abroad because
deliveries were so much delayed.
The production of precious metals
will probably turn out to be nearly Z
per cent greater than last year.
The rice crop of Texas, new Indus
try practically, was remarkably large
and sold for high figures.
Tremendous discoveries OF petrole-
UNI on the Pacific coast enabled that
part of the country to substitute six
million dollars worth of oil for coal,
which was previously imported either
from Great Britain or Australia.
The total destruction Of the fruit
crop in Great Britain and In southern
Europe made an unexpected market
for American green fruits. More than
10 per cent of all the fruits sold In the
London markets to-day is American.
The average Increase in the cost OF
foodstuffs to the consumer In the
United States was 16 per cent.
In many cases the labor unions, by
force of organization, though fire.
quently not until a long and serious
strike had been engaged in, were able
Ito increase the pay of their members,
thus greatly enhancing the purchas-
iing power of the plain people, which
Is the basis Of all prosperity in the
United States.
In nearly all Of the large cities
throughout the country the population
has increased, and the price of real
estate has done more than keep pace
with the general march of prosperity.
Under the circumstances, the coun-
try has every right to look forward to
q continuance of prosperity.
Our granaries are grooming with the
products of an abundant harvest. Our
savings banks overflow with the re-
serves of the people. Our scale Of ex-
penditure is the highest the world has
ever known.
The stock market, that unfailing
barometer of the feeling of the gam
bling element OF the country, has re.
Gently taken a short. sharp rise.
The area of land which will be
plowed and seeded this winter and
next spring will exceed the area titled
last year.
It Is inevitable that a prosperous
harvest brings a greater seed sowing.
The greatly increased demand for cat
tie and horses means more stock.
Breeding pastures will be fuller next
year than they were ever before.

EventfuI August.

FNbSGoes
August was an eventful month. On
the 9Th Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles, long the commanding general
of the army, was retired from active
service. For seven days Major Gen.
eral s. B. M. Young commanded In his
stead, but Aug. Is the army staff law
went into effect and General Young
became chief of staff.
The event Of Aug. IL was more sig
nificant, for on that day misguided
Colombians brewed trouble for them
selves. On that day the Colombian
senate rejected the Hay-Herran Pana-
ma canal treaty, and this unexpected
action seemed for the time to put the
canal farther away than ever.
Even the chagrin that accompanied
the turn OF affairs gave place to expec-
fancy when Sir Thomas Upton ar
rived with his third challenger for
Americas cup-Shamrock III.
The boat had been launched in
March and even before the defender
had taken definite shape news Of its
wonderful sailing capacity was flashed
across the Atlantic. Not few an
ticipated that upon this expedition the
gallant Irishman would be successful
IN carrying back the trophy. He was,
however, doomed to crushing defeat.

French company had received. 1t was
the ratification of this treaty that
brought the question to the issue in
the senate, and when congress ad-
journed without action an extra ses-
sion was called. This session ratified
the treaty March II.
Some Passing Sensations.
Besides the affairs Of general i'm
portance already noted, several events
of opening months Of the year should
be mentioned. On Jan. Is J. T. Till
man shot and killed Editor N. G..
Gonzalez. Gonzalez had attacked Till
man rabidly in his paper and had de-
feated his nomination for governor.
The affair was widely and vehemently
discussed, but in October Tillman was
acquitted, partly because the fatal at
tack was not entirely unjustihed, and
partly because there was evidence to
show that Tillman thought Gonzalez
was armed and about to attack him.
Disastrous Floods.
Little can be said here Of the disas-
trous floods Of the year. In March the
lower Mississippi rose higher than
ever before, and on the goth Of that
month passed all records. Cities along
the river, especially Memphis, suffered
heavily, levees gave way and miles OF
lowlands were inundated, causing I'M
told damage and great suffering, es-

Passing Of Pope Leo.
Late in June came the announce
ment OF the serious illness OF Pope
Leo XIII. That aged pontiff was 90
years Of age on March 2, and on
March 3 celebrated the twenty-ffth an
niversary of his coronation as pope,
thus putting an end to the long-hon-
ored tradition that no pontiff would
see the days of Peter"-25 years.
Pope Leo's predecessor had reigned 81
years. the longest in history, and the
old tradition cannot SURVIVE tnls SCI
ond breaking of the record. On July 8
the pontiff was regarded as in criti-
cal condition, and in a few days his
life was despaired of, but though APP
parently frail in body, the long years
Of simple habits had given him SPLEEN
did power of resistance to disease, and
for more than two weeks he battled
with the ravages Of pleural pneumonia.
On July 20, however, he died, and on
the following day the chair of Peter
was declared vacant by Cardinal Cam
erlingo Oreglla. The conclaye to
choose his successor assembled on the
last day Of the month. and on Aug. A.
after several indecislve ballots, chose
Cardinal Sarto, Patriarch OF Venice
who was elected. He chose the title

so 1t remained imperative until the
extra session in November.
The Panama Canal.
The Panama canal was the burning
question, and at the beginning, as at
the close Of this year, 1t seemed a
certainty. For years the agitation In
favor Of a canal across the Isthmus OF
Panama had been agitated, and recent
ly with increased interest Thousands
OF dollars had been spent surveying
the possible routes, and 1t at last
seemed assured that the United
States, in conjunction with Great
Britain, would undertake the Mica
ragua route.
Since the collapse OF the De Les
seps Panama scheme a new French
company had possession OF and had
done some work on the Panama canal
but until II became evident that this
country was in earnest about Nicara'
qua the French company refused 10
sell out at a reasonable price. Then,
when competition seemed hhely, lhey
surprised American lawmakers by Of
fering their holdings at less than half
their former figures. They offered to
sell their concessions and everything
in sight for s40,OOO,OOO, giving until
March 4 for acceptance. Congress hes
itated, many fayoring the Nicaragua
route, and when the time was about
to expire President Roosevelt took the
responsibility Of accepting the PROPOSE
ton, running the risk Of defeat In the
senate or in Colombia. In the mean
time Secretary Hay and Dr. Herran,
the Colombian charge d'affairs, signed
treaty by which the United States
agreed to pay Colombia a bonus OF
100000 and an annual rental OF
$3.50, 900 for such concessions as the
