No Work at Panama.

The Panama commission is deluged with applications for places, and so are all who are supposedly in touch with them. The government has called halt. No more applications will be considered. All the skilled labor needed has been supplied, all the good places are filled, and they are not numerous.
 The unslilled will soon be called in, and they bid fair to be negroes from Jamaica, which is not many days sail away. The Jar-aica negroes are acclimated. They can withstand moist ure even under a tropical sun. They have never known other than a hot country, and they can work and thrive at Panama.
 Panama Is not a. fit country for better than the climate of the canal strip. They should stay away from it. and the present indications are that none will be needed there hereafter The government is well supplied with engineers. clerks and foremen, and all other places at the isthmus are not worth the trouble of request by mail

MY SON BILL,

From the St. James Gazette.
 The captain of second-class cruiser, which has lately returned to Davenport from the North American station to pay off, tells an amusing story against him. self The ship touched at one of the French islands in the West Indies, and the captain went ashore in due course to return the visit of the British consul. On his arrival. says the North Mail. he beheld one of the senior petty officers of his ship, to whom he had granted eight hours leave, sprawling in a luxuriant chair on the veranda, puffing at big Ha- vana. The captain curtly asked him what he was doing there. The sailor, between the puffs of his big cigar, bandly re- torted that he was there on visit to Bill. And who the deuce is Bill?'' snapped the skipper Why, the consul here-him as 1 allow you've come to pay your respects to- How dare you speak with such familiarity of one of his majesty's cor suls?" thundered the captain. "Oh, BITS s all right" explained the petty officer, complacently. Hes my son." And as the captain fell back breathless with in dignation and incredulty the consul him self came in and exclaimed: "Ah, cap tain I'm glad my old man was here to receive yOur'

 FINGER FOR ONLY $500

coming operation. He had already placed two cots side by side in an airy back room of his office on the second floor. and between them has had constructed an iron rest upon which the arms of his patients are to lie until the transferred finger Is on the hand of the purchaser
 About three weeks in all,' he declared will probably be consumed. and at the erd of that time I hope to have achieved a complete success. The operation is a delicate one, but not particularly difficult The chief trouble will be in keeping the finger in place after it Is transferred. To do this 1t must be firmly bandaged and both arms inclosed in one plaster case so as to prevent it's being displaced. Two nurses will be on watch day and night to prevent, if possible, any violent movement on the part of either woman.
 For three weeks at least the two women must lie quiet and will have to be fed by attendants. They cannot even turn over So you see, the ordeal will be in more ways than one trying one In spite of that hope to succeed.
 When this woman who wants a new finger first came to me- I hesitated long time before I consented to take her case, woman was so willing that I finally con- sented. All that remains now is to have the contract signed, which I believe will be done in the morning, and then we can go ahead"

Referee System.

''The recent reports that Interna, Rev enue Collector Thompson would be dis placed as the Presidents referee for Ala bama and the appointment of all post masters who have been endorsed by him putsl MT. Thompson in the same position as Mark Twain when he was called upon to deny the rumor of his supposed death," said prominent re- publican.
 Mark Twain was travelling in Europe when the reports reached America that he had died A solicitous friend. hearing the report. cabled companion in Europe to find out if the rumor was true. Mark Twain was shown the cable gram and in his usual versatile man. ner answered the message as follows: aThe reports concerning my death have been greatly exaggerated Since the ap- nointment of J. w. Clayton as postmas- ter at Ensley, pr. G. R. Lewis at Besse- mer and pr. J. L. Davis of Lafayette, both of whom had been fought bitterly, if appears that the reports concerning Mir. Thompson retirement has been grossly exaggerated"

Ate in pinina Car.

T saw an amusing thing q day or so ago said A. B. Freeman. travelling pas senger agent of the Queen and Crescent route, yesterday. and something that seemed to amuse an entire train load of people.
 "The Pan-American, our fast train which stops at only about five places be- tween Chattanooga and Meridian was held out for two hours in a small town south of Birmingham l. was the first time that the natives had ever seen the train except when it was going about fifty miles an hour. so they looked it over from the cowcatcher to the flag or the end of the dining car.
 This dining car seemed to catch their eye. They withdrew to little distance. clipped in and formed a purse and de- cided to have dinner on the car. They had good one. too. and paid for it. de- parting well satisfied with themselves and their meal
 "A few minutes before the train pulled out one of the natives came in and asked the dining car conductor if he could buy a few steaks and some tomatoes. The conductor sold him two steaks and half dozen tomatoes and he was the hap piest man I ever saw. He said he was going down and give them to his wife so she could cook them. He never could buy good steaks like those in his town, he said"

HE WAS CERTAIN OF IT.
And the Bill Went Through Congress
 With a Rush.

From the Washington Post.
 Chairman Graf of the claims commit tee was struggling with several bills in the house. Nowadays claims have a hard time in that branch of Congress- because there are so many skeptical members. Along in the afternoon there came up "a bill to reimburse the Illinois Central Railroad company for damages to the union depot at Louisville, Ky"
 That seemed proper subject for attack, and the watchdogs assumed a belligerent attitude, but as the provisions of the bill were read it was seen to call for only $6O.
 Why is this enormous sum asked ot the United States by a great and rich corporation?" asked MT. Payne of New York in mock solemn tones.
 Because there is no other way to ob- tain it. Laughter) The parties are en- titled to it. replied MT. Graf. 'The roof of the depot was damaged by blasting operations conducted by the govern ment"
 ''The gentleman has no doubt that the amount is not excessive?' continued Mr. Payne, smiling.
 'No, sir" replied MT Graf, inclined to take the raillery more seriously, and the bill went through, as the society writers say, swimmingly.

Boxing and Wrestllnn.

 There are really very few members of the club who have had any training In the finer points in wrestling and box ing and these are arts that all should learn. It will do any man good to at tend these lessons and to practice what Professor Dwyer teaches.
 Another thing. His coming and the prospective bouts that he will have with other good wrestlers should cause a gen. nine revival of interest in the club Not that there is any falling off of interest for there is no falling off. but then it will mean something new, and T new feature to club always attracts more people and causes more interest
 Some of the members of the Athletic club in Atlanta have stated that they thought the stay of two months made by Professor Dwyer in Atlanta had done the club a great deal of good, and they favored having something like that go- ing on all the time. agree with them. The more things of this kind the club can have the more interest will be aroused and the more enjoyable the club will be-"

ship of the baldest sort, exists to the admission of any one of the four. Cheap politics has stood in the way too long already.
 In the bill passed by the Senate a ridiculous provision was inserted. It compels Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory to adopt constitution forbid ding the sale of liquors for a period of twenty-one years. This is all very well, but if the new state should year after admission disregard it., what, pray, could the federal govern ment do? It could not move hand. The provision in the enabling act would be as futile as it is silly. The Senate never has recognized the prin- ciple of the rule of the majority, pre- ferring instead some ridiculous Rus sian method The people of Okla homa and Indian Territory will make their own sumptuary laws, and the Senate will not be permitted to travel cut of it's sphere to fasten upon them anything they do not want.

Transforming Presidents.

Representative Maynard of Virginia asks Congress in presented bill to pension all ex-presidents at the rate of $25,000 a year. The speaker of the House of Commons receives when he retires a pension of $20,000 and the gift of a peerage, and when the lord high chancellor goes out of office he picks up a retiring pension for the remainder of his life, no matter how short his service in office may have been.
 Such facts have led Representative Maynard and the republics of France that perhaps their Presidents should not be turned out as General Grant was, to tussle for living with bulls and bears or other cattle. Few of our Presidents or of the French Presidents have been able to put aside money while in office. It is believed Presi- dent Loubet will leave the Elysee poorer in this worlds goods than he was when he became President, and no doubt this will be the case with MT. Roosevelt.
 But the condition of the ex-Presi- dent is not so much to be considered as the fact that government pay for high positions should invite the poor as well as the rich man. At present no poor man can reasonably aspire to an embassy or legation. Such places are almost monopolized by the rich, and perhaps this will come to be the case with the presidency unless we proceed to raise the pay either during the term oI office or afterwards. The sentiment of the country to a pension, and MT. Maynard's bill undoubtedly meets public sentiment fairly and ac- ceptably without undue waste or ex- aggeration.

INDIAN SUPERSTITION.

From the Eufaula, I. T., Journal.
 The Indian believes there are boa con strictors in the streams of North Amer ica, and also that the South American tapr lives in North America. He calls the boa constructor the iste-ach-war- mayer, and calls the tapir nocas- -oh-mer.
 The Indian believes he has a cure and preventive for rabies or hydrophobia He also believes he can cure any snake bite on earth, from a ground rattler to a vel vet tail or diamond rattler. An Indian never was known to go mad from dog bite or die from a rattler's bite, while other races succumb to the venom of a snake or go mad from the bite of a rabid dog.
 The Indian. when in battle and fatally wounded, believes that if his medicine man can reach him with his bitter medi- cine before he dies it will give him in- stant relief and he will be able to escape from the battlefield. He thinks every man is honest until he finds him out. in which event he loses all confidence in him, and never gets over it.
 The Indian never makes up after falling out with any one. He may speak to an enemy as he passes, but he dies with the hatred in his heart

Grand Duke Seraius.

The assassination of the reaction ary Grand Duke Sergius, uncle to the Czar, long unpopular among the lib erals and socialists, was not surpris- ing. nor is it important except as a proof that reign of terror is coming in as an additional step in Russia's s liberation from autocratic rule With in years time Minister of the In- terior, two governor generals of Fin land and grand duke have been ssassinated-blown to pieces by bombs. This means that all officers are in danger. It means a veritable reign of terror.
 And yet the Emperor hesitates. He is not willing to assure the people that even land parliament will be convened. He clings to what he is pleased to call "the principle of au. toeraey." In other words, only he is to rule, and the millions upon millions of Russians were born to be ruled He was born to rule--he only. This is nonsense of course, but 1t is a piece of nonsense that causes bombs to be thrown, and that will yet lead to open revolution.

Downfall of AutocraCy.

Not only is Russia about to establish a deliberative assembly as part of her government, but even China and the redoubtable Dowager Empress are moving in a like direction. An i'm perial Chinese edict, dated February 1. approves the plan of parliament consisting of officials of the fifth rank and upwards, and 'rince Ching in a memorial addressed the throne says that the determination of govern mental policy must depend upon pub lie discussion.
 China has in fact long been very sensitive to public opinion. The Dow ager Empress has all along gone with the tide. The imperial government holds large powers in theory, but it rarely exercises them. Practically speaking each province and it's chief mandarin is autonomous so far as ninety-nine-one-hundredths of affairs are concerned. The people in the dis tant and populous provinces know very little about PeRin or the Elm peror. or even the Dowager Empress. Home affairs are conducted in the provinces by the provinces for the provinces.
 But public sentiment is moving so fast toward popular rule that the Dow ager Empress has decided to call to her aid a parliament. It is not an ideal parliament, because it does not come directly from the people gath cred in primaries, but it is no doubt suited to China in her present condi- tiou. It is at any rate better than no parliament at all.
 When the Empress Dowager and Autocrat of all the Russias admit that parliaments are all needful in gov ernment. the French revolution as a whole stands vindicated and approved. The Czar will have to swallow as best he can his justly celebrated principle of autocracy, and get ready for popu- lar government Autocracy has gone ito smash in both China and Russia, and popular government is coming into it's own. The world "do" move.

JIM BLUDSO.

By John Hay.
 Wall. no, l cant tell whar he lives
 Because he don't live, you see; Leastways, he's got out of the habit
 o Twin like you and me Whar have you been for the last three year,
 That you haven't heard folks tell How Jim Bludso passed in his cnecks
 The night of the Prairie Belle? He weren't no saint-them engineers
 Is all pretty much alike; One wife in Natchez under the hill
 And another one here in Pike keerlcss man in his talk was Jim,
 And an awkward hand in row But he never fiunked. and he never lied
 I reckon he never knowed how. And this was all the religion he had
 To treat his engine well Never be passed on the river
 To mind the pilots bell. And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire,
 A thousand times he swore He'd hold her nozzle ag'in the bank
 Till the last soul got ashore All boats has their day on the Missip,
 And her day come at last. The Movaster was better boat,
 But the belit Sut Notioh " fA'SN.~' And so she come tearin' along that
 night
 The oldest craft on the line With a niger squat on her safety valve
 And her furnace crammed rosin and
 pine.
 The fire burst out as she crared the bar
 And burnt hole in the night And quick as a flash she turned and
 made
 For that willow bank on the right. There was runnin' and cursln'' but Jim
 yelled out Over all the internal roar: 'sT'il hold her nozzle ag'in the bank Till the last galoot's ashore Through the hot, black breath of the
 burnin' boat Jim, Bludso's voice was heard, And they all had trust in his cussedness
 And knowed he'd keep his word. And sure's you born they all got on Afore the snokestacks fell And Bludsos ghost went up alone In the smoke of the rrairie Belle. He weren't no saint, but at jedgment | I'd run my chance with Jim | Longside some plus gentlemen | That wouldn't shake hands with him. | He seen his duty, dead sure thing | And went for it there and then; | And Christ ain't a-goin' to be too hard l On man that died for men.
