The Sabbath Day

Nhouid be kept according to the old, loA blue laws; that's what few peO- !ple in Waterbury think. and they seem to carry their point, since they wont allow us to see q good ball game on Sunday. No, slrree, they have stopped our pets from playing Ibase ball on Sunday. But, did you see how they allowed the circus peo- iple to bring all their monkeys, snakes, camels. elephants, big wild looking Indians and all their dirty old truck through our nice clean streets right at midday on Sunday? And, oh, how hard all those horses did work pulling and hauling; in fact, they tell us one horse died in his har- ness out on East Main street. And just think of it, on Sunday! And again, did you see all the poor fel- lows how they were working and it pouring rain. but not one word about them breaking the Sabbath. Well, they could break anything that came in their way. Yes, they. could break their necks working (and it was un- necessary work. tool but as we un- derstand 1t the blue laws compel them to rest until midnight. But they didn't; they disobeyed our laws.

are not satisfactory. This is admitted
by officials who have lately been on
the isthmus, although they were un-
willing to be quoted in the terms IN
which they talked privately. The rainy
season is great obstacle to the sue
cussful prosecution of canal construc-
ti0n. The heavy tropical rains not
only prevent the government from
working the laborers to their capacity,
but the machinery can not be made
to operate with anything like full eff
ficiency. There are forty-six heavy
steam shovels in the Culebra section
of the canal, where the big bulk of the
excavation has to be done. AT present
only about twenty of the shovels are
working.
The hospitals are overHowing and it
is said on good authority that there is
almost no hope Of getting sanitary
conditions in the zone so improved as
to prevent heavy ravages of malaria.
There are great reaches of jungle and
swemp which it is hardly possible to
clean out, and in the wet season the
hot sun forced up steaming emanations
from the soaked earth that no amount
of precaution can prevent being ex.
tremely unhealthy.
There is reason to believe Chief En-.
gineer Stevens is seeking to discove
machinery that will be an improve
ment in the excavation over the big
steam shovel now in use. 1t is ex-
tremely possible that machinery will
be found that can be used with fair
effectiveness in wet weather. If so,
it will be a great stride forward. The
Culebra cut excavation for distance
of about twelve miles is recognized as
the big end Of the canal work. To
prevent slides Of earth, Mr. Stevens
is making this considerably wider than
the French had it. II will be about
500 feet wide at the bottom and, as
the sides lope at an angle Of about As
degrees, an immense quantity Of earth
has to be removed.

Morris, Alleged Glenn Pool Murderer
Is Still at Large.

Developments in the Harper muir

Harper, the murdered man, to have
been married. AT a late hour yes.

in San Antonio, Texas, and apprised
of the death of her husband. She
telegraphed to have the body sent to
her at San Antonio, which was done
last evening. No inquest was held
over the body. Harper was about
2s years Of age, and of rather a
prepossessing appearance. He was
an inveterate gambler and "stroll-
err" seldom ever staying in one place
for any length of time.
AT the trial yesterday in Sapulpa

gambling and were fined the lump

er, said to the World by phone 'last
night that startling developments
in the affair might be looked for soon

with number of children. His sis.

MAGNITUDE OF THE PANAMA CANAL
IS BECOMING MORE APPARENT

Washington, August 22.-When
President Roosevelt goes to the canal
zone next November he is likely to get
some new impressions of the tremen
dous difficulties in :hc way of con-
struction of the isthmian waterway.
II is seldom unbiased information
reaches this country as to the actual
state of things on the canal zone. Re-
ports From there are either official
and giving roseate tinge, or they are
born of hostility to the canal and are
blacker than the facts warrant. Lately
however, information from impartial
sources, as to just what is going on in
the canal zone, has been reaching
Washington, and it is decidedly inter
esting. This information depicts a
SOLDERING view of the situation there
and, while not discouraging as to the
ultimate construction of the canal
it is not calculated to promote undue
optimism or give rise to the belief
that the government has undertaken
anything else than gigantic, expen-
sive and extremely trying task.
Much improvement has been made
on the Panama railroad, congestion OF
traffic has bsen relieved, the grades
of the road are being put in good
shape, and constant improvements on
the line are being made. Sanitation
work on the zone has also progressed
favorably. There have been various
improvements in Panama, sewerage
system and waterworks have been put
in and the city well cleaned. Colon
is not by any means in satisfactory
sanitary condition, but improvements
there have been planned and being
pushed as rapidly as is feasible. Vel
low fever seems to be stamped out
completely, and the slight outbreak OF
smallpox that disturbed Colon recent
ly is fully under control.
When it comes, however, to labor
conditions and the actual pushing OF
work on the canal itself, conditions
