Curse That Was Fulfilled.

A famous Gaelic curse put upon the
family of Dalrymple at the time OF
the massacre Of, Glencoe, in the 18th
century, Is recalled by the death OF
tho Earl Of Stair, head OF the Dal-
rymple family. The first earl OF the
line took part in the massacre, and
Jean Macdonald, the sole survivor Of
q large family that persisted through
the carts cruelty, delivered a bitter
curse upon him, wishing that no sue
ceeding earl should have children. a.
startling comment on this maledictiPn
is that the second, third, fourth, sixth.
seventh and eighth earls OF Stair hh
died without issue-a circumstance
probably unique in the annals OF fhe
peerage. The family Of the first earl
became entirely extinct in 1910. and
the succession passed to the descend
ants of his next brother, Sir Jam pes
Dalrymple, from whom came the peer
inst deceased. Evidently the curse
did not pass with the title, for the
two earls Of the present family mad
sons. M

Bunau-Varilla was hurried to Wash
ington as the minister Of the new
country, empowered to negotiate q
new Panama canal pact. Soon after
General Reyes Of Colombia entered
an earnestsprotest against the course
Of the administration, insisting that
Uncle Sam keep his hands off the
isthmus. This, after the practical
breach Of faith and the vaclllation 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 fleet ID upon the Panama
coast, and Colombia has reached a
point when she confesses 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.

Eventful AUGUST.

HNSht'At 0hSAoh
August was an eventful month. On
the Sth Lieutenant General Nelson A,
Miles. long the commanding general
Of the army, was retired from active
service. For seven days Major Cen
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. u was more sig.
nilicant, 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.

rived with his third challenger for

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
tioipated that upon this expedition the
gallant Irishman would be successful
IN carrying back the trophy. He was,
however, doomed to a crushing defeat.

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 lsthmus 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 Do Les
sep's Panama scheme a new French
company had possession of and had
done some work on the Panama canal
but until 1t became evident that this
country was in earnest about Nlcara'
qua the French company refused 70
sell out at a reasonable price. Then,
when competition seemed likely, they
surprised American lawmakers by Of.
ferlng their holdings at less than halt
their former figures. They offered to
sell their concessions and everything
in sight for $4O,OOO,Ooo, giving until
March for acceptance. Congress he's
itated, many favoring 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
a treaty by which the United States
agreed to pay Colombia a bonus Of
$1OOOO,OOO and an annual rental Of
S25eOOO for such concessions as the

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. 7. 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 unjustifed, 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 dlsas-
trous foods 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.

peclally to the poor negroes OF the
South. The following month and IN
June the Missouri and Its tributaries
were flooded, and Topeka, Kansas City,
st. Louis and East st. Louis suffered
from the rush Of waters. The cotton
mills in the Carolinas and Georgia
were also victims of the raging waters
and many other cities, notably Pater'
son, N. j., were inundated. Heppner,
Ore, was practically devastated by a
eloudburst.
Passing Of Pope Leo.
Late in June came the announce
ment Of the serious illness Of Pope
Leo XIII. That aged pontiff was W
years Of age on March 2, and on
March celebrated the twenty-ffth an
nlversary 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 this Sec
ond breaking Of the record. On July 5
the pontiff was regarded as in a crltl-
cal condition, and in few days his
life was despaired Of, but though ap-
parently frall in body, the long years
Of simple habits had given him q 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
erllngo Oreglia, The conclave to
choose his successor assembled on the
last day Of the month, and on Aug 4,
after several indecislve ballots, chose
Cardinal Sarto, Patriarch Of Venice,

The year 1913 will be known as the
record year Of prosperity In the Unit
cd States,
Some few crops have not yielded SO
largely as they did In former years,
but the prices received were 80 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 llnprece-
dented!y high, Petroleum and It's
products advanced in price rs 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 7
per cent greater than last year.
The rice crop Of Texas, a new indus
try practically was remarkably large
and sold for high figures.
Tremendous discoveries Of petrole-
lin 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
70 per cent Of all the fruits sold IN the
London markets today Is American
The average increase II, the cost OF
foodstuffs to the consumer in the
United States was lG 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
to increase the pay Of their members,
thus greatly enhancing the purchas-
Ing 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 gfanaries 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 unfalling
barometer Of tllu feeling of the gam
bling element Of tie country, has re.
comfy 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.
lie and horses means more stock.
Breeding pastures will be fuller next
year than they were ever before.
