Coupon Books viii Enable Panama
Merchants to Do Business.

Washington, Sept. %. - A new sys-
tenn of credit has been devised for the
employees of the Panama canal on the
isthmus and will be put into effect
about October l. The system will
meet the needs of the employees and at
the same time comply with the request
of the Panama merchants to be put on
an equal footing with the commissary
stores run by the canal commission un-
der the direct jurisdiction of the Pana-
ma railroad officials.
The system comprises coupon credit
slips, which viii be issued to canal en-
ployes in books containing credit re-
spectively for $3.50, $5 and $25 gold.
The books are so made up that Credits
for from cent to 81 can be torn out as
required and will be issued on demand
up to a certain percentage of the wages
due them.
The merchants will accept the slips
under an arrangement which makes the
four banks of Panama the clearing
houses between the merchants and the
railroad company. No liquors or to-
bacco are sold at the five government
commissaries, which are located along
the line of the road, and it has been
decided to carry in these commissaries
only such articles as shall be decided
to constitute the necessities of life.

Railroad as Promised.

Railroad as Promised.
Des koines, Ia, Sept. 29. 49, In an
address before the Grant club tonight,
ex-Minister 10 China Edwin II. Conger
said that by the failure OF the Ameri-
cans to build the Chinese railway, faith
had been broken with China, and
Americas good standing with the Chin

"We made q very serious mistake
when we permitted our railroad conces-
sion in China TO be relinquished," !" said
Mr.. Conger. at will prove a sad blow
to our future efforts TO establish ad-
vantageous businss relations with that
country. 1t will set us back many
years.
when we were granted the conces-
sion, personally / made Representations
to the Chinese that the railroad would
be built by the Americans who got the
concession, assured them upon my hon.
or that il was not secured for the pur-
pose OF exploitation, and that it would
not be sold or relinquished. Now,
however, II has been, and the business
men Of China feel that they have q
right to look upon future business
propositions from Americans with sus-
picion."

VICTOR HUGO.

Everything About Him Was ExtraSr-
dinary, Even His Digestion.
Never to be forgotten were those
evenings when we were lucky enough
to find neither minister, senator nor
deputy-for in the presence of political
men Victor Hugo always seemed to me
somewhat stiff-when he warmed to
his subject, let himself go. as 1t were,
and his conversation took a natural
turn full of charm.
How he would then have astonished
those who had represented him as be-
ing exceedingly solemn-in fact, a po-
seur! II they had seen him so 1t was
doubtless due to themselves. Perhaps
to the bumpdous and self opinionated
he gave himself the air of an oracle,
but with poets, repeat, he was ease
and SIMPLICITY might even say IA
miliarity-itself.
At these dinners we could not help
admiring his formidable appetite. He
ate enormous pieces Of roast meat and
drank large glasses of undiluted wine.
A typical detail struck me particularly
At the end Of his meal he dipped or
ange quarters into his wine and ate
them with marked satisfaction. Ev.
erything about Victor Hugo was ex.
traordinary, even his digestion.-Fran-

he ran away, and did as much study
ing as was possible in the mining
camps and on the Indian war cam
paigns.
Very early his tastes inclined to po-
etry and his first book was a thin
volume printed for distribution
amongst his friends. This was call
ed specimens" and was printed in
Portland. His second book, also pub
lished in Portland, was called "Joa-
quin, ct al" the chief poem dealing
with Joaquin Murietta, noted Mex
lean bandit of the period, who had
terrorized California. Miller's read
ers dubbed him Joaquin" in derision,
and he adopted the name as his own.
His parents named him Cincinnatus
Heine Miller.
When he was about 3S years of age
Miller went to Londen, where he pub
lished several books of verse, includ-
ing his famous Songs of the Sierras,"
and his Songs of the Sunlands." His
poems were received with high praise
by the English critics and he became
famous at once.
For many years Miller has lived on
the heights near Oakland, Cal, where
he built two cottages, one for him.
self and one for his aged mother. He
has published many books. both In
prose and verse His "Danites,'
which was dramatized, earned him
/ large income as a stage production

The King of MolIu.lss.

The king of mollusks lives in the In
dian and south Pacific oceans. He at
tains to a weight Of 500 pounds, and
the shell is Of the bivalve kind, and the
shape Is about the same as that Of our
common fresh water mussel. The gl'
gantic tridacna is the largest mollusk
known to have lived on the earth since
the silurian age. 1t is found on the
bottom of the shallow parts Of the
ocean, and the large individuals have
no longer the power to move about.
They lie on one side, and all about
them the corals build up until King
Tridacna is sometimes found in well.

EPAULETS.
Originally Intended as . Protection
From Sword Cuts.

Originally Intended as . Protection
From Sword Cuts.
1t is probable that the epaulet was
originally intended as a protection to
the shoulder from sword cuts rather
than as an ornament. Ever since 1795
they have been worn by commissioned
officers Of the British navy. According
to the officers rank they vary in de-
sign. A sublieutenant wears only one
composed Of gold lace; other ranks two.
The degree Of rank is shown by crowns,
anchors and stars worked in silver up
on the epaulets and also by the thick
ness Of the cord Of which they are COM
posed. Previous to the Crimean war
epaulets were worn by both officers
and men OF the army. Here, as in the
navy, distinction was shown both in
their texture and design. Those Of the
officer were made Of gold braid, while
with the rank and file they were mere
ly Of worsted.-London Telegraph.

Rubies are most suited for young low

people of the Burmese empire believe
that a ruby is a human soul just about

of the most passionate and absorbing

YOUR AMBITION.
Keep 1t stimulated and Do Not Fer
NIT Il to Wnne.


init II to Wane.
The idea seems to be pretty general
that ambition is born in us, that we
have little or nothing to do with its ac-
QUESTION or cultivation and that we
cannot modify, enlarge, stimulate or
improve it to any great extent. A study
of life does not confirm this idea. That
the ambition is cultivable quality,
capable Of being nodded or destroyed
according as we will, is demonstrated
every day in the lives Of those about
us. We see people in whom the spark
Of ambition Is kindled suddenly by the
reading Of a book, the hearing Of lee
ture or the speaking Of o kindly word
by friend or teacher, and, on the 9th
or hand, we see those who allow their
ambition slowly to die out for want Of
fuel.
The death Of ambition is one Of the
tragedies of life. When a young man
feels his ambition begin to fade there is
trouble somewhere. Either he is in the
wrong environment and his faculties
protest against what he is trying to do
or his health is poor. or he is being led
into dissipation by bad companions. A
youth whose ambition begins to wane
is not In a normal condition. When he
Is not stimulated by a noble purpose
and filed with a desire to become 9
strong man among men there is some
thing wreng somewhere.-Success.

Prophets may be without honor in
their own country, but in the case Of
JOAQUIN Miller, there is a poet who
is going to be honored in his own
country. There is to be joaquin
Miller Day. at the Lewis and Clark
exposition, which opens June l, at
Portland. the city where Miller's first
volumes of poetry were published
and the metropolis of the state where
the poet grew to manhood.
joaquin Miller is commonly known
as the poet of the Sierras, because his
first book of any consequence was
"Songs Of the Sierras." But the Ore
gon people prize him most highly as
the poet of Mount Hood, and of the
heroic pioneers who people that vir-
gin state. Miller has sung grandly
of Mount Hood, which is oregon's
own beloved snow peak, visible on all
clear days from the exposition
grounds, though it is As miles away.
The date of Joaquin Miller's day
will be selected to suit the poets own
convenience. Invitations will be sent
to all western authors and to writer's
IN the east whose books deal with
western matters, and the plan is to
have western Authors Day
with the Joaquin Miller day as the
chief feature. On this day there is tc
be a-reception with appropriate liter
ary program including, perhaps,
poem by Miller himself

FISHERIES TEST CASE
To WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from page eighty

gether with the ocean beyond. But
the fishing grounds from the coral reef
to the seabeach are for the landlords
and for the tenants of their several
lands, but not for the others"
The following are the main conten-
tions Of the Territory on which it is
asked that the decision of Judge Hum
phreys, affirmed by the Supreme court
here, declaring that the various fish
cries claimed are public property,
should be affirmed by the highest court:
THE fishery right claimed by plain
tiffs in error df any ever existed) was
lost because not presented to the Land
Commissioners for award.
1T has been the law of the Ha-
waiian Islands since the time of the
esta blishment of the Land Commission
that any person who had a claim cog
nizable by the board and failed to pre-
sent the same and obtain an award
thereon, lost his claim.
The fishery claimed can not be held
to be appurtenant to the land granted
to the predecessor in interest of the
plaintiffs in error . E" The clear re-
| suit of the foregoing cititions is that
at common law the right to fish in tide
waters is a public right; that the
riparian proprietors have no greater
right to fish in the waters adjoining
their land than that possessed by every
| citizen, and that there can be no ex-
elusive right in such waters as an APP
purtenance to the lands bordering
thereon. This doctrine is so well set
tied that there is nothing strange OIL
startling in the fact that it was adopt
ed and carried out in the old Hawaiian
decisions which have never been re-
versed.
"A fishing right can not be acquired
by prescription.
"a fishing right can not be acquired
| by custom.
"The Statutes relating to fisheries
did not create vested rights"

charges brought against Metcalf. The
Star yesterday referred to the charges
as being of "Tampering with a Wit
ness" while the Advertiser this morn
ing has a heading Dirty Work is AL
legged" Godfrey was informed that
both the headings correctly describe
the charges.
Thompson moved for a postponement
Of the contempt proceedings, on the
ground that any decision Judge Robin
son might give would affect the jury
m the case of Godfrey VS.. Rowland, in
which the bribing and threatening of a
witness are alleged. McClanahan and
Derby objected. Derby said the pro-
position would all come out in the trial
anyhow, referring to it as an attempt
to bribe. Judge Robinson remarked
that it should be called attempted sub
ornation of perjury, and that the
| facts should all go to the jury, He
| thought, however, that the contempt
proceeding should go over until after
the trial, and granted a pOstponement
to a week from next Monday. The
! Judge expressed doubts of his power tC
punish for contempt in such matter
He said that recent decisions Of the
Supreme Court had greatly limited tn,
powers Of circuit courts here to punisl
for constructive contempt.
