 'The work I did" said MT. Wallace, extended over complete year, talk ing in dry and wet seasons. was working along definite programme which I intended to put in writing in my annual report and would have done so if had been permitted to make report I experimented with the French excavators so as to tell whether it would be the more economical to use or destroy these machines, which cost probably S30,000,000. I experimented far enough to know that these ma chimes were not fit for use"
 The organization was demoralized, he said, for the reason that the men had seen their chief discredited and knew that successor was to be appointed who would not be in sympathy with the work that he had started. .......-..
 Mir. Wallace said that inaanr bis !ex- perience in railroad construction he never had seen men better fed and housed than they were on the isthmus The complaints. he said. came from clerks who went to the isthmus from Washington or New York who had go' the idea from musical comedies that life in a tropical climate was to lie in hammocks and enjoy themselves.
 Efforts to establish Young Mems Christian association on the isthmus for the benefit of the canal employees was stopped because of an official ob iec>ion to it. said Mir. Wallace. He wal asked to be more explicit and said tha Governor Magoon had said that Secre tary Taft did not wish the work to @ on. Mir. Wallace thought this was be cause the community was Catholic.
 He did not favor the eight hour da! and recommended that as few restric tions as possible should be placed ol MT. Stevens and that the ''wolve should he kept of his back" If tn canal work should he let by contract said Mir. Wallace. ii would increas the contract price about 20 per cent He thought the man in charge shoul' be permitted to get bis men in China Japan. India. Spain or where h pleased.

4 philologist was talking about words. There are over 225,00o words in the English language" he said, but we only use few thousand of them. The extra ones are no use to us. Any man could sit down with directory and write in good English story that no one in the world would under stand. Here, for instance, can you make head or tail of this?"
 And the philologist battered oil glibly:
 T will againbuy the atabal. You are asweyed? Yet this is no blushet's bobance nor am a cudden. either. Though the atabal Is dern, still will againbuy it.
 Then he translated:
 T will recover the drum. You are amazed? Yet this is no young girls boasting nor am fool, either. Though the drum is hidden, still will recover it."

A TWO ltAKS' TOUR
Miss Roosevelt and Longworth
 Plan Honeymoon Trip.
VISIT COURTS OF EUROPE AND ASIA
Couple to Bc Presented at Courts of St. James, Paris, Berlin, St. Peters,
 burg and Many In the orient. s Will Start In June.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The trip to Europe, including presentation at the court of St. James by Ambassador Reid, which Miss Alice Roosevelt has decided upon as part of her honey moon, may now develop into com plete tour of the world. during which the daughter of the president will be presented at many of the European and Asiatic courts.
 Plans to this effect are now under consideration by Miss Roosevelt and Congressman Longworth. They have advanced so far that an intimate friend of the bride to be stated that the grand tour has practically been decided upon.
 Two years will be devoted to globe trotting, and London. Paris, Berlin. St. Petersburg, Rome. Athens. Constanti- nople, Cairo, the vice regal court in India, Peking and Tokyo will be visit ed and perhaps Australia as well. Miss Roosevelt has already been presented at Peking and Tokyo, but presentations will be arranged at those two capitals again. the second time as Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
 One of the secrets which has leaked out is that Miss Roosevelt has had pre- pared for her rousseau series or gowns for presentation at the chief Eu- ropean courts.
 Such a trip would be a triumphal pro- cession for the young daughter of the president. As long ago as the coronation of King Edward, Miss Roosevelt was anxious to go abroad. and, indeed, the master of ceremonies of the court of St. James. in the expectation that the daughter of the president would attend that function, had made provision for a prominent position for her.
 Emperor William. for whose yacht Miss Roosevelt acted as sponsor on the occasion of the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, is anxious to entertain her, and it is certain that in France, Italy. Russia and Greece the young bride i will be rendered fiattering reception. The hopors showered upon Miss Roose- welt on the occasion of her recent visit V to the orient are an indication of the reception she will receive there upon a second visit.
 In any event. Mir. and Mrs Long worth will tour Europe. leaving Wash ington some time in June. The early days of the honeymoon will be spent first at the old Roosevelt homestead in [ L Georgia and later at Palm Beach. Al | the end of ten days or two weeks the
 young couple will return to Washing
 ton. since Congressman LOngworth is
 interested in some legislation which will come before the house at an early | date.
 Cuba Will Give a Tea Service. Feb. I.-Cuba Will give
 Miss Roosevelt not San Juan hill or diamond dog collar. but silver tea
 service. to be presented through the l Cuban minister, Mir. Quesada.

Ransom in Installments.

A curious instance of the spread of modern ideas into the most unlikely places is reported from Sicily. where q noted brigand chief. having captured a prominent citizen of Catania. has con scented 10 his ransom being paid on the ''installment system" But the brigand is not quite up to date. and the advan- tages of immediate delivery are not in- cluded in his scheme. so the victim re- mains a prisoner until his relatives have paid the last cent.

Fire in Churches.

Chief Shaw, speaking of the prac- tical operation of the law for the bet ter protection of audiences in theaters and public halls from fire, remarks that while our churches are exempt from its provisions, as well as from monthly inspection, there is greater danger from fire or panic in many of our houses of worship than there is in most of the licensed places. This is frank and outspoken, though it isn't a new revelation. It is fair question why church congregations ought not to be protected from the dangers of fire and panic as well as theater audiences.-Boston Herald.
