although in 1860 he MANUEL AMADoR.
was elected to the presidency of what
was then the state of Panama. He
never took office, as Il revolution came
along and prevented him from doing
so. He is Il Liberal and, although Il
member of the Roman Catholic church,
believes in separation of church and
state. This is a leading issue on the
isthmuS. He is a man Of learning, and
the Panamans know that he took
many risks in connection with the rev.
olution which resulted in the separa.
ton of Panama from Colombia. When
fellow revolutioniSts deserted him, the
decision and courage he displayed
achieved the success of the movement
for independence.
Years ago, when Panama was a part
Of Colombia and DR.. Amador had been
active in opposing Conservatives, he
was warned of a conspiracy against
his life. As the story goes, he escaped
his enemies by having himself packed
in lard barrel and shipped across the
isthmus.

His First Vote.

Frank Kelly, a native of Rocky Hin, Conn. and 57 years old, cast his first ballot in the election last week. When he was about l2y years old and his brother also was in his teens, each promised the other that he would never vote. Mir. Kelley now says that there was no par ticular reason for making the promise, save that they took dislike to politics and decided to keep out of it.
 Consequently he has never been made a voter until this fall, when he fouad ont that his brother had three years ago been made a voter in Meriden. unbe- known to him, and had been voting since. This and the fact, as MT. Kelly puts it. that he felt that politics was not being conducted as it should be, decided him to be made a voter. Now that he has commenced voting he intends to continue it.

THEY SHARED GAME.
NORFOLK MEN WERE ARRESTED

 About S5e.oo-They Thought Their
 Arrest a Joke and Did notAppear for
 Trial at Appointed Time.
 The Norfolk Rod and Gun Club is taking steps to stop the unlawful act of snaring partridges in the woods about the village says the Courant. c. c. Sco- vile, who has been watching section of the snaring country for a number of days, arrived in the woods early Sunday morning, and about II o'clock Charles Nash entered the woods and was just taking the birds from the snares when MT. Scoville appeared and arrested him. MT. Scoville supposed that Nash was alone. but found upon reaching tho road that he was accompanied by another hunter, Fred Schmeltz. who was wait ing nearby keeping watch while Nash entered the woods to get the birds. It was impossible to persuade them to come to the village, but they both promised to appear at the town hall Monday after noonat o'clock for a trial.
 NJ. l.. Blodgett, justice of the peace of Falls Village, Dr. H. L. Ross, county game warden of Canaan, and Lewis Rhoades, deputy sheriff of Canaan, ar rived about o'clock for the purpose of trying the prisoners, but when the time for the trial came Schmeltz and Nash were not to be found, although they were seen about l2:45 at the station. Rhoades searched the house of Schmeltz in West Norfolk, where they were thought to be in hiding, but returned without them and the trial was indefi- nitely postponed.
 Monday evening Schmeltz appeared on the street, and in conversation with a member of the club, said that he thought that Scoville was kidding" him when he arrested him Sunday and did not be- heve that they were in earnest until he heard that Rhoades had searched his house. Schmeltz owned up that they were guilty and said that they were both willing to give themselves up, On Tuesday each paid fine of Sl5 and costs amounting to about S2+ for Sunday hunting.

SALESMAN SLOCUM SURPRISED
Didn't Know He was Elected Until He
 was Told by Canaan Friend

Charles Slocum, travelling sales man. whose home is Ia Poughquag, N. Y, and who has visited Canaan for a number of years, was nominated by the democrats for treasurer of Duchess county and did not know of his election until he reached Canaan last Wednesday morning. It seems that MT. Slocum thought that there was no possibility of his being elect cd and 1t was with the greatest re- luctance that he allowed his name to be placed on the ticket. So sure was he of defeat that he went to the polls Tuesday morning, cast his vote and started out on his route, dismissing all thoughts of election. At Canaan on Wednesday he was met by H. R. Whitford, who congratulated him on his success. Slocum thought the congratulation to be sarcasm, but took it good naturedly. MT. Whit ford had great difficulty in convinc- ing Mir. Slocum that he meant what he said and when he finally became aware that he had really been elected, he was the most surprised man in the state. He will resign his position on the road and assume the duties of treasurer at the expiration of the present treasurer's term.
 Slocum has many friends in these parts, who will gladly hear of his triumphant entry into the political arena.

Rents Apple Eating Beasts Take Up
 New Fad.
 The COWS in Kent have begun chew ing tobacco. "Gashang il" said Bill Parcelle, 'theym be smokin' cigarettes next. There's too much education fioatin' around. I'm off."
 Old man Jones, who has tobacco plantation near South Spectacle lake, in- troduced the chewing habit among the COWS. After he had cut his tobacco he turned his jerseys into the field to see if they would eat the stalks. For years the farmers had been afraid to do it. but Jones said he'd take the chance, as it was a shame to let such big green stalks go to waste.
 Jones' cows ate all the stalks and mooed for more. Their milk was not effected either in color or taste. The good news spread, and now everybody's COWS in Housatonic valley are chewing the real cud.
 The only thing is that when the COWS chew too much they grow a little bit and their mouths hitch up at one side. This is supposed to be nerv- ous affection. A professor from Yale is to look the COWS over.

Each Other for Berkshire Hills Sum- mer Patronage.

The Two Railroads are Vieing With
 Each Other for Berkshire Hills Sum
 mer Patronage.
 Because spirited opposition has de- veloped against the proposed route of the relief branch from Greenwich to Dan- bury, the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford railroad has taken under con- sideration change in its layout.
 AS originally planned, the new rail road would cut across several large es- tates and materially impair landscape ef- fects. The company plans the new branch to afford quick entrance into the Berkshire hills section, and intends a fast express service to and from New York. For some time there has been a strife between the New, New Haven & Hartford and the New York Central road for the patronage of the city people bound for the Berkshire Hills, the for mer route being from New York to Len OK, Stockbridge, Pittsfeld etc., via the Berkshire Division and the latter via the Harlem division to Chatham, then the main line of the Boston and Albany road (controlled by the CentraD to Pitts field, then branch line to North Adams, the journey being made without change of cars, however. Thus far the running time has been about the same on the two roads, sometimes one train reaching Pittsfield first and sometimes the other. On the Harlem division, the Berkshire express is given the right of way and makes the fastest time of any of the trains. At Chatham a change of en- zines is made, the engine which takes the train to North Adams standing in readiness when the train arrives. It is coupled on in record breaking time and the race to Pittsfeld is resumed where railroad men and others are always. in- tently watching for the locomotive which shall reach the station first.
 The Central people have also been making plans for shortening and straightening their track between New York and Chatham with the idea of de- creasing the time necessary to make the journey.

 "J. k. Law of Sharon had three nerve-racking experiences while walk. ing from Millerton to Sharon the other night, and AS a result, goodly number of the hairs on his head are white to- day instead of black. Following is his story:
 "As I entered the woods at Indian lake mammoth animal, the size of an elephant, white as snow, with eyes like two moons and horns like a reindeer, rose up in my path. gave one yell and the mysterious thing vanished as quickly as it appeared without making any noise.
 Reaching the old ore pit on the crest of the hill at the state line, where the Morovian missionaries were massacred by the Indians many years ago. the same apparition loomed up in my path, but this time it was red as fire with eyes glaring like two block signals. I shut my eyes, shrieked. and when looked for the red monster he was gone.
 "When near the watering tuhvat the Hazard place. Sharon, the hideous giant rose up again. This time the monster was so black could just discern its out lines by two green searchlghts. must have tainted from fright, for when TO- covered my senses it was daylight and my clothes were still damp from perspi- ration and my hair white where it was a jet black before"

OlPHTHERIA
Recommendations of State Board of Health.

Indications of Unusual Prevalence
 Recommendations of State Board
 of Health.
 Diphtheria is a disease that is propa- gated principally by means of the se- creuons from the threats of infected in- dividuals which contain in large num- bers the specific bacillus to which the disease is due. This bacillus effects a Judgement ill the throat of susceptible persons, where it produces an lnfam- nation and emulation and as the dis ease progresses the toxic symptoms of diphtheria-
 For the prevention of diphtheria, not only is disinfection necessary but the in fected individuals should be isolated un- til all danger of their communicating the disease is passed. Much attention has been given by bacteriologists to the question as to how long the bacillus may persist in the threats of oonvalescents from the disease. Dr. Park of the New York Health Department found in in- vestigating series of eases that, while in the majority the specific bacilh dis appeared within two weeks, there were a considerable number of cases where they remained much longer.
 There is often great deal of pressure brought to bear on health officers to ter minate quarantine too quickly, almost as soon as the membranes disappear from the throat, but it is not safe to do so, until meteorological examination has demonstrated the absence of the specific bacillus. Then only is the time to disinfect the apartments that have been occupied by the sick and allow the patient to mingle with other people.
 The State Board of Health in its Monthly Bullitin, states that there are prospects of an unusual amount of diph- theria in some localities this year and recommends that energetic means be taken to prevent its spread.

arena.

District Attorney Jerome makes the following comments on the recent election:
 If Hearst had not undertaken to sandbag the democratic party into ac- cepting him and had made himself an integral part of the democratic par ty, the result. in my opinion, would have been a sweeping democratic vic tory. He would have a powerful and important position in it. The Ameri- can people are always willing to for get and forgive. Hearst can do much good yet His papers have a won derful influence and if he handles him self with good poise and judgment in matters generally he can accomplish much good He must confine himself to attacking in a clean way the abuses which he wants to assail. His past offenses will then be forgotten and forgiven.

Croker's Opinion

Richard Croker, in discussing the re- suit of the election in New York state, said the outcome was much in accordance with his expectations. "I think the election will prove a con siderable education to Hearst and I am sure he will profit by 1t, although defeated. In my opinion MT. Hearst IS bound to be a factor in politics. Ii he could have held his own vote, and if he had had the support of the independent laboring men I believe he would have been elected by 1OO,- GOO plurality. He has made a re- markedly good fight and he has req son to be proud of it.'
