to see one every night this week. A

Along in the latter part Of the win

for the P. D. and ordered it discon-
tinued. He gave no reasons and we
asked none, for stopping ones paper
is purely a business affair. Last week
he came in and said "We want the

stopped it we subscribed for THE
but the news is all so old when we get
it in that paper that we want the P.

OF one of Uncle Sans servants

Men VINO Made DIG Money.

In national movements such as the crea-
ton of a new republic and the selling OF a
great property like that Of the Panama
canal many individuals must profit. The
one who made most out of the canal sale
is supposed 10 be Mr.. William Nelson Crom-
well. the attorney for the French Canal
company and the Panama Railway com
pany. IL was he who engineered the bills
by which Panama was chosen over Mica
ragua through congress. and he 70 large
extent aided in the bringing about OF Pan
ama's Independence The gossip here is
that he received from the French Canal
company 10000 out Of the $4,000, 600
which the United States paid them. and
from the Panama republic 100000 out OF
the 100000 which Uncle sam paid for the

Commander-in-Chief sheIved.

Speaking of General Huertas, the com
mander-in- chief of the Panama army, after
the war closed he became an elephant on
the hands of the government. His troops
worshiped him, and for a time he tried to
dictate to the government. Later on he
consented to the abolition of the army and
to his own retirement, receiving therefor
a salary of $500 month as general of the
army to be called forth to command the
troops in case of need.
General Huertas is now about Is years
old. He entered the Panama army at u
a bugler and lost his arm during one Of
the revolutions. He has now retired TO his
country place at Aqua Dulce, situated about
twelve hours from Panama by sailing ves-
sci. He has a large cattle ranch at that
place and is also experimenting in mining.
He is a brave man. but is said to be ignor-
ant and uncultured. 1t is believed that his
salary will be abolished after a while. To-
day the little army of 800. which brought
about the Panaman independence. has been
turned into a police force of 500. Their
guns have been taken away and they are
armed chiefly with clubs These policemen
receive $50 month In silver.
AS to the salaries of the chief officials,
they are not high in comparison with those
of Americans and they are paid in silver.
The president receives $4,000 a year. the
cabinet ministers each 5000 year, and the
presidents private secretary in the neigh
borhood OF $500 per year.

canal zone and his rights there. If these
reports are true, he received total of
100000 in good, hard gold coin. and this
money came in lump. Mr.. Cromwell is
still attorney for the Panama government
and his relations to the canal administra-
ton are close. Mr.. Bunau-Varilla is said
to have made fortune out of the sale, and
other French agents to have received large
sums
Nearly every resident of Panama has
profted more or less from our purchase
of the canal and the success of their revo-
Business is better than it has been since
the palmiest days of the French excava-
ton and money is again plentiful on the
Isthmus of Panama. All the officers and
soldiers who took part in the revolution
received more than double pay for the SER
vice The night after independence was de-
clared some leading bankers of Panama
were directed by the new government to
furnish money to the soldiers The off,
Gals then gave checks on this bank for
the officers and men according to rank
some of which were for $1,000, 5000 and
$500 each. General Huertas was Offered
$4,000 in gold. He refused 1t, saying that
IL he took it 1t might be considered as
bride. His scruples vanished when it was
again offered to him as a birthday present
six months later. and he spent part Of the
money in a trip to Europe.

The money was put up and the customer

Before night the rain was falling in tor
rents. The man who lost the bet stopped
at the delicatessen store to see the win
mes.
How did you know it was going TO
rain?" he demanded of the storekeeper.
The latter chuckled.
