CONTRACT ANNULLED.
Market Will Not Feed EmplOyes of the
 Phunua Canal.

Panama, Oct. 1.-The last action or the Panama Canal Commission before sailing from Colon for New York was the annullment of the contract award ed to J. E. Market of Omaha, Neb., for feeding and caring for the employees of the canal. The reason for this ac- ton is that Chief Engineer Stevens, through the Department of Materials and Supplies, under Messrs. Jackson and Smith, Is handling the coinmis- saries duly, rendering unnecessary the arrangement with Mir. Market. Pro tests made by the employees against the arrangement 1t is believed infiu- enced the decision.

of the marine barracks, was born in Ger
many in 1854. He has been q special Of
ficer in this city for sixteen years. At the
time of the Earnshaw fire in the southeast
part of the city eight or nine years ago he
saved a mans life by a daring piece of
work. He has notable record of appre-
hending housebreakers, and has done most
valuable service in No. precinct during
his career
Ben F. Klopfer, the treasurer of the asso-
citation, was born in Washington In 1886
and for thirty-four years has been spe-

office and south of the avenue. This is re-

"reminiscences and reports were features
OF a recent meeting of one of Washing
tons unique organlzations-the Night
Watchmen's Protective Association-at Its
assembling place, 516 9th street northwest
The "reminiscences were of former expert
ences of the men who assist in guarding
the business places in the District when
the city sleeps" and of the original nlght
watchmen of fifty or more years ago.
The reports were those Of officers of the
association, and told of the work that has
been accomplished since the organization
was formed six months ago. They showed
a healthy increase in membership and a
good financial condition. but what they re-
gard as better than all, that the grim
watchers Of the night have earned the con-
fidence of the business men of Washington
whose premises they protect from fire and
thieves.

the warehouses on the river front of George
town more than fifty years ago. AT that
period there were no metropolitan ponce

considerable prominence, was indiferently

Night Watchman Stutz was therefore re-

 The fact of the existence of the organ lzation became known to the police ia an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton, its latest victim. She died from morphine poisoning on third attempt at suicide, both of her previous attempts having been frustrated through season. able discovery by friends.
 Another young woman friend of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi son, but recovered, and 1t was through her that the existence of the club was made known.

MoccAsINs FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of Powers>at War for "Bangor's
 Golden Slippers"

Inquiries have been received in Bangor, Me, from persons sup. posed to represent either the Rus sisn or the Japanese government concerning prices for moccasins in large quantities and the earli. est date of delivery at Atlantic or Pacific ports. It is supposed that the moccasins are wanted for sol. diers campaigning in Manchuria. For that purpose they would be eminently suitable, says the New York Sun.
 The moccasin is the favorite footwear of the lumbermen of Maine, and was first made in Ban. gor in 1851. At first only one or two styles were made, but now moccasins are manufactured in great variety, ranging from slip. pers for women and children soft as kid and embroidered with beads-to the stout boots and lar. rigans of the Penobscot lumber. men.
 Much of the sewing is still done by hand, being let out by the piece to French Canadian families in the neighborhood of Bangor. Ali moccasins are made of a specially prepared lea ther, rendered a gold. en yellow by peculiar process of tanning.
 The common moccasin Is not proof against water, but it has room for several pairs of stock. ings, and that is a strong point in it's favor. For keeping the feet warm and dry in cold weather the moccasin has no equal.
 The greater part of the mocca sia leather still comes from the place of it's origin, Pawtucket, R. l., although a considerable quantity is tanned in Bangor. Some years ago Bangor men es' tablished factories at Red Wing, Minn., and Racine, Wis.
 The dainty bath slippers, which are not really moccasins, but are made from soft elk skin, are in great demand at home and abroad, and are especially favored by the ladies of Japan, to which country Bangor sends large quantities. It now seems likely that "Bangor's golden slippers" as moccasins are called, may be worn by the con. tending armies in Manchuria.

Tired Nervous

When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vi- tality is low-your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power,
 The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and in- stead of throwing off the im- purities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery.
 Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles .Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous.

Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which human beings lack. That of loca- tion, shown by the wasp, for in. stance, is remarkable. One spe. cies builds it's nest in a sandbank that is only part of several acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without he's itation and finds it without mak- ing a mistake. There is another wasp tfat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.

JAPAN's FIRST IRoNcLAD,
Hsr Crew Made a Brave Start, But / Couldn't Stop Her Till Fires
 Went Out.

That the role of Japan us a mar. itime power is a new one is brought strongly to our notice by recalling the quite we'll authen. ticated story of the first adven. ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life.
 She was built in England While she was building her crew were also in England practicing, in other ironclads how to drive her. When she was finished the Japanese seamen took possession of her, bravely maintaining that they were fully equal to the task of starting her.
 And that, to be sure, they were, for she steamed out finely. The trouble only began when she came back to port again. Then, when they wanted to slow her down and stop her, they were unable to do so.
 They had to put her out to sea again and go on steaming her about till her fires went out, her engines stopped for want of steam, and she could be lowed in.
 From this to having the best mentally-equipped crews, perhaps, of any nation seems a long step, but it has been a very rapid one.

0nUI ShullSS duO HI lAc POS- Se9sion of medical students, physicians and colleges of St. Joseph are specimens taken from various burying grounds that have ksen unearthed in the ex- cavations for buildings on sites that hundreds of years ago were repositories for the dead of the ancient red man.

 'T got my real start as collector ol skulls in 1887. During excavations in St. Joseph on property in the possession of my father several specimens of an ancient race were exhumed. and straightway found resting place upon . shelf in a cabinet in nay home. vis. ited the former home of the mound builder in Colorado and New Mexico. where other specimens Of the ancient inhabitants were discovered. They dif~ fer materially from the skulls found in St. Joseph. Then visited the holy land in search of specimens. From there I drifted to tho lands of the Ptolemies of Egypt. Here some valuable acquisi- tions were made. I have tramped over the Pampas of South America, the noun tains of Peru and Chill. and even pene- trated into the wildernesses of the Anna xon, where, in deposits of earth and stone, I have brought to light perfect specimens of human skulls, represent ing periods which History does not chronicle.
 Tn my experiments I have found that some skulls take on very beautiful polish. and must say that, under the hand of . skilled artisan, they are made magnificent Those specimens occupy cabinet by themselves. have a number of skulls taken from the wreck of tho Galveston storm. also have specimens from other disasters on this and other continents. Five victims of the Mont Pelee disaster are represented in my collection. This business of collecting skulls is a great aid in the study and re- tention of important facts in history. I have in my possession the skulls of men It times prominent in the history of this nation. How came to have them do not care to say. However, money g a means of gratifying the tastes of anyone who cares to make collection ,f this kind.

Philippine Positions Not Wanted.

Philippine Positions Not Wanted.
 Positions in the Philippines seem to go begging. Several months ago Col Edwards, chief of the tnsular bureau, called upon the civil service commits sion to certify candidates for 15o teachers positions paying from $2,000 to $900 per annum. There were few applicants, fewer took the examina- ton, and only 42 were found eligible for appointment Another examina- ton will. therefore, be held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- ton for these positions, and the du- ties or pay Of pedagogus do not seem to appeal to the young men of the country.
