Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
PANAMA, June 1.-THE local newspapers
publish an interview with President Amador
In which he confirms the report that the
resignation of Gen. de la Guardia, Secre-
tary of Government, Foreign Affairs and
War, was due to the Minister'S aspirations
to he elected First Vlce-President by the
Assembly in September rext. President
Amador personally favors the election of
Senior Don Domingode Obaldia, now Minis
ter Of Panama at Washington, to the Vice
Presidency. Owing to that preference
Gen. Guardia felt it impossible to retain
his position in the Cabinet and at the same
time to work for his own interests, He
therefore resigned in order to secure at.
eohite independence OF action.

NAM LICK sutton SIZED.
Court Accepts Ills Excuses for Not Pro-
posing 90 the widow.

Special cable Despatch 10 THE SuN.
vienna, June IA rich widow at
Kolocz var sueda wealthy landowner named
Szabo for damaging her reputation by a
long courtship without proposing marriage.
The defendant admitted that he courted tho
widow. but pleaded that fate had prevented
him from proposing 10 her, and he told the
court a touching hard luck story.
He slid he had made strenuous efforts to
ask the widow to marry him but all were
unsuccessful. The first time he was just
on the point of proposing when he stepped
on the tail of he lady's pet dog. The con-
sequences of this misadventure so upset him
that he did not dare suggest marriage.
Subsequently his courage again reached
the sticking point and he drove to the
widows house in a carriage drawn by
four horses. He was determined that
nothing should prevent him from propose
ing this time. but fate again reached out
it's hand and his courage and determine
ton awaited him nothing. The carriage
upset and he was thrown into a muddy
puddle. His plight caused his bravery to
ooze and he returned nome to await Il
more favorable opportunity.
The third time he started to walk to the
widows, but, Needless OF the i'll luck that
is bound to follow such a foolhardy VEN
ture, attempted to pass under a painters
ladder. Fate again had it's eye upon him,
and just as he got under the ladder the
painter upset a pot of green paint all over
him. Szabo took this last warning to heart
and concluded that the widow was not for
him. He produced witnesses to prove his
statements, which the Court accepted,
and he was acquitted.

LONDON, June H,-Hospital Sunday,

eriok Treves, Sergeant Surgeon to the King,
into the pulpit Of the celebrated Union
Chapel at Islington. where he e%loquently
appelled for funds. He oontended that
money contributed. to hospitals paid a
hundredfold!
The amount of pain relieved could be
roughly gagged by the quantity Of morphine
consumed at the hospitals. One-sixth Of a
grain would relieve pain for an hour. By
this test 81, 900 hours Of pain-that is prao-
tically ten years-were avoided in one Lon
don hospital alone in 1905.

Justice at Last.

5 The courts OF France have ut last done
Justice to Dreyf,ls. and the whole world
will approve and applaud, The case IS
ono Of tho most remarkable In the annals
OF history. Influenced BY ilendlsh pre-
JUDGE. tho enemies OF Dreyfus conspired
to destroy Ills character and remove him
from the army. n Their plans succeeded
SO far as to secure conviction and BAN
.lshnent for their victim. But truth is
mighty aud Will prevail ut last. Dreyfus
was pardoned3 but he and his friends
we're not satisfied with such scant JUS
8tice. They demanded that the man who
had been SO cruelty wronged should be
and exonerated. ana their de-.
mands have been met in full. AS far as
1t was possible to do so, the wrong has
been rlghted, and Dreytus will be re-.
stored to his command. 1t Is tribute
to the court system OF the republic
Of France that IT. has had the courage.
TO do this righteous act and it Is q spten-
did triumph for justice.
All honor to the court, and oil honor
and praise TO the noble wife Of this per-
secuted man. who never lost faith in her
husband who stood In loyalty by him II,
all his troubles, giving loving comfort
and good cheer in his darkest hours OF
despair The vindication OF the husband
Is due in large part to the courage and
devotion OF the faithful wife.

The Practical Side Of Beauty.

Within the next several months Q large
number Of high school buildings vii pc
erected here and there in the counties
OF virginia, and at the start The Times
Dspntch urges that all such buildings
be made as attractive and ornamental as
means will allow. It costs very little
more to erect pretty school building
than it does to erect an ugly building,
and the ornamentntion within and tn
out would be comparatively inexpensive.
8put there IS a vast difference In In
fluence between q pretty school building
and an ugly school building. The attrao-
t tive building will have wholesome IN
fluence both upon pupils and patrons, and
Will have the tendency to create greater
respect for education and the public
school system. The public naturally form
their estimate Of the Importance OF edu.
cation Ivy tho Importance which thel1
elders attach to 1t, and they judge In
great part by the outward and visible
SLAMS. II the seat OF learning Is a cheap
unoouth building without convonienoes
comforts or ornnmentat!on, the children
viii necessarily conclude that thdH elders
lcok upon the school as a sort of make
SHIFT. They cannot ha expected to hay.
more respect for education and to attach
moro Importance to 1t than the grown
folks. Apart from this. all public build
ings necessarily exert an INFLUENCE over tn
architecture OF the community Thu
courthouse the church, the public achoo
building set the example either for goot
or for bad, ana the cause which all sucl
buildings represent Is helped or inture'
