THE PANAMA CANAL.

The close of the Panama Canal nego-
tiations marks the acquisition OF an
other large strip of territory or the
part of the United States, by purchase
instead of by conquest. This has been
the policy of the American government
from the date of the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase country to the pres
ent time Perhaps some of the terri
tory SO obtained resulted indirectly
from war, but it has always been the
policy to acquire peaceably and by pur-
chase, even such domain as the United
states had obtained by right of con-
quest.
srhe fruits of these negotiations lead
ing to the acquisition of vast territory

are you going to stay?" He said, II am

A Pleasant Party.

Mrs. George d. Williams delight
fully entertained this afternoon at
her pretty little home on Ouray.
There were seventy five invitations
issued and great majority of the
ladies responded. The diversion for
the afternoon was a guessing contest,
in which the sobriquets of the various
states and their people were the sub
ects. This occasioned much enjoy
ment as where nearly every one is
familiar with the common name of
their native state it is rarely found
any one lady is familiar with them
all, and they nearly all have nick
names.
An informal musical program in
which Mrs. Cropsey and Miss Zervas
participated was much enjoyed. A
light luncheon followed the game.
The occasion was most delightful
one throughout.
