CUBA'S TREATY WITH ITALY.
Neither Country Responsible for Dam
age Caused in Civil War in Other.

Havana, Jan. 3.-The treaty of amity
and commerce which has been signed
between Cuba and Italy gives each
country the right to eXpel pernicious
citizens of the other.
1t also provides that unless there is a
lack of vigilance on the part of the au-
thorities or agents of each country,
neither government shall be responsible
for damage or other eXactions which
the citizens of the other suffer in its
territory owing to acts of insurgents in
time of civil war.
The ships of each nation will pay the
same dues in Italian and Cuban Iort;
that are paid by those of other nations
enjoying the most favored nations
treatment. Cuba agrees to see that
contracts made with immigrants are
just and that they are scrupulousiy
carried out.

Bury Your Yesterdays,

Have you been thinking OF your New
Year resolutions?
OF course you made some. You make
them every year.
You make them and break them with
the same beautiful regularity.
This year we have a brand new one
to cffer by way of suggestion.
That is. it will be new for you to en-
terrain the idea to your own good. But
the thought itself is old, as old as the
world.
1t has been beautifully expressed in
tie Cook of books, and it has been es-
! sayed By many writer's of all ages.
The idea is to drop the Old year and
give exclusive room in your mind to the
new.
OF course 1903 contained much that
was veXation. 1t brought to you sor-
row and veXation and embarra ssments
and annoyances innumerable.
Those things you are to forget.
If IA cruel thing has been said of you
it will poison all your new year so glad
with promise.
That is. it will poison it if you do not
Immediately drop the memory
You have spent more than you can
afford, and you are uselessly worrying
now over the expense
Regret cannot help matters now. The
thing is over and done WITH so drop it,
You have had a painful illness, and to
go over all its details makes you merry
Gus. Drop it!
An article you have written, a pic
ture you have painted, song you have
sung. some one of these things has
proven a failure. Are you going to be
hampered by this failure in your work
undertaken for 1904? Drop it.
Start off new again. Your yester-
days are dead, bury them. Your to-
days and your tomorrows are yours to
do with as you please. Spend them
usefully, happily, and let not one be
made drear or nerve destroying be-
cause it must be shadowy accompanied
by some yesterday that should long
ago have been dropped out of your cal
endar.-Augusta, (Ga.) Herald.

The coming and going of nations in

than the philatelists. or stamp coilec-
tors. Just now they are in spasms OF
excitement over the new republic Of
Panama, whose postmaster general has
shown himself equal to the occasion
III fashion worthy of a Yankee. Not
only did he supply the demand Of the
philatelists, but he created among
them an abnorlnally big demand, and
furnished the abnormal supply to fit it.
With stamps of seven denominations he
has managed thus far to turn out
about 40 different varieties, each
one of which a philatelist must
have if he wants to make his col
lection complete. This he did by
printing the words Republic de
Panama" across the face of the old CO.
Ion bian stamps in as many different
ways as his ingenuity could devise

ink, in green ink. And the varieties
are increasing rapidly. The future of
Panama is assured, canal or no canal,

There was neglect and Carelessness
which cannot be considered anything
other than criminal, in the Iroquois
theatre in Chicago. Doors leading 20
the fire escapes were securely locked.
and after the fire escapes were reached,
there were no ladders leading to the
ground. Other exits were hidden be-
hind heavy curtains. There were no
signs indicating the emergency exits.
There were also many interior
doors fastened. which could not be
opened or which ushers and employees
refused to open upon the first rush OF
the CROWD. and the resulting jam at
these points caused large part of the
loss of life. The failure of the asbestos
curtain to fall is now said to have been
due to a wire reaching out from the
stage into the theatre, which made it
absolutely impossible for the curtain tc
descend. 1t is refreshing ID know that
