YELLOW FEVER IN THE WAY.
The Congressional Party on Way to
 isthnus May Be Halted.

New York, N. Y.-Speaker Can non and the other members of the congressional party who sailed a few days ago on the Hamburg-American steamer Butcher, may not be permit ted to visit Colon, according to in. formation received here. The party had planned to stop at Colon on the homeward trip and inspect the canal work. News has been received that the Panama government has estab- l1shed quarantine against Venezuela ports because of a reported outbreak or yellow fever at La Guayara. The Butcher is scheduled to call at La Guayara and also at Puerto Cabello before she reaches the isthmus.
 Officers of the Hamburg-American line said that every effort will be made to arrange for the landing of the congressional party at Colon. IL may be possible to induce the passen- gers on the Butcher to consent to change in the schedule + this can not be done, the company may appeal to President Roosevelt to ask Pan ana to make an exception in the quar- antine regulations in the case of the congressional party.

 Vote.

Chicago the result of the vote now being taken by the trainmen and conductors as to what further action on their part will be taken regarding wages and working conditions, the James J. Hill system of railways has granted what will be equivalent to II per cent increase in wages to their employees.
 It is understood the Hill system has withdrawn from any further negotia- tions with the general managers con- mittee and the chiefs of the two divi- sions of employees.
 Arbitration was suggested as a means of settling the dispute between the men and their employers but the advance on the part of the manage ment of the Great Northern and North. ern Pacific, Soo Line and all the roads centering in St. Paul will make fur ther negotiations unnecessary, as the employees of these lines will indorse the offer and accept the advance

 pie Proceeding.

Josiah Main, a grandson of the first settled minister of Rochester, N. H., whose bronze statue adorns the cen tral square of that thriving city, was a local character, celebrated for his wit and skill in argument, and as cum ming in his speech as Jamie Soutar, the Drumtochty cynic.
 On one occasion company had gathered at the popular grocery, among whom were Elder Runnals and ,Slah Main, and bet of two quarts of rum was made as to who could pray the best, the elder or Main.
 All had taken several portions of rum or else it is hardly likely that the elder would have consented to join in the sacrilegious test The elder prayed first. and his petition was so long, loud and feryent that a consid- erable crowd gathered before he fin ished
 Then Main began and prayed with so much greater fervor and eloquence that he easily won the bet. The elder declared he didn't see how he did it.
 Why declared Main T began where you left off, and put in what you left out, and that's how I did it."

Told by Nature Students.

The nature students-everybo is a nature student nowadays-were try ing to outdo one another
 Eagles when the sun is overhot shade their young with outstfetched wings said the first. "On August aft ernoons I have seen mother eagle stand patiently two full hours, her Jeff wing spread like an umbrella, while iii it's cool shade her nestling slept"
 Squirrels" said the second, "can tell whether nut is good or bad with, out opening it. A chestnut, walnut, a shellbark-they lift it in their little paws, hold it to their faces moment, then if it is bad cast it aside How do they tell? By the weight, by the sound? I incline to think they do it by the smell.'
 "Ostriches never set," said the third They lay their eggs on the pale Saharan sands and the sun does the rest. But before the ostriches depart from their eggs they place on the top of each pinch of sand, for they know that the germ will mount to the top and that the suns heat would kill the germ were it not protected"
 "A trained elephant" said the fourth student, danced very badly at matinee performance and was ac- cordingly beaten cruelty by it's master. That night, hearing shuffiing noise outside, the monster crept forth and there in the moonlight he found the elephant carefully practicing it's dance steps"

COLONEL KNEW THE soYs.
Fact Made Him Success as Collection
 Supervisor.

Bishop Talbot, the Cowboy Bishop" who has recently told of his strange life as bishop among the cowboys and miners of early Wyoming and Idaho, had many an amusing experience and made hosts of devoted friends.
 An incident at the close of one of his meetings ill the dance hall Of mining town, Is thus described:
 Another hymn was given out, and I was about to dismiss the congrega- tion with my blessing, when Col. Burns, my landlord, stepped forward, and in a low but distinct voice said:
 Bishop, haven't you forgot some. thing?'
 What do you mean?' said I.
 Why, the hat, replied the col onel. It won't do to forget the hat, for yesterday was pay day, and these boys have lot of money, and if you don't get it the saloons will, and it is much better for you to have it.
 Very good said. Have you any suggestions, colonel?'
 "'Only this, bishop: I wish you would give us about five hymns. want plenty of, time. l do not want to be crowded. The boys are little ;low on collections
 T stepped over to the organ, and we started in. The colonel presented the hat to the man immediately on my left. He was sitting on the edge of the platform. He brought out silver dol lar, called wheel in the language of the camp. The second and third men to whom the hat was passed fol- lowed the example of the first, each giving a dollar, but the fourth man seemed nervous, and hesitated while he fumbled in his pocket. After con- siderable delay he brought out quar- ter.
 70, put that back. Come, now, Bill. the bishop is not after small game to- day. White chips don't go here. He wants wheel out of you. Hurry up.'
 "The hymns were being rapidly used up, and at last the colonel re- turned to the platform with the hat. His face beamed with satisfaction. After the service I asked him why it took him so long.
 70 he replied, bishop, you see, l charge up every feller accordin' to his pile. I know these boys. Most on 'em grub with me. I made one feller cough up a ten dollar gold piece, and you will find good many lives in the hat.
 T need not say that the collection was a generous one"

Butterflies in Battle.

"A battle of butterflies" said the Japanese viscount firmly.
 'Impossible!" cried the woman on his right.
 "Oh." the viscount insisted. "the thing is authenticated. It happened on August 20, 1889. Tales and poems without number have been written on it.
 "On the afternoon of August 20 two opposing armies of the butterflies fought an aerial battle between Nojima and Kavasaki-Mura. The figh. continued till sunset, when the small CT army turned and retreated, the victors pursuing it till all were lost in the rosy sunset haze. The ground beneath the combat was thickly strewn with wounded and dead war riors.
 The battle drew thousand people It occurred about 30 feet up in the air. The spectators were amazed and horror stricken to see these gentle blue butterflies graphing and strug gling furiously and silently in a blue blizzard above their heads"

TOOK LONG TO CONVINCE.
Stubborn Youngster Finally Satisfied
 Mother Was in Earnest.

A Brooklyn mother has solved the problem of the incorrigible youngster, says the New York Globe. She had long found it impossible to take her four-year-old girl with her into public places without discomfort and embar- rassment.
 Being on an elevated train recently, she threatened to take the child out at the next station and spank her soundly in the waiting room Defiance compelled this course.
 Now, unless you behave, I'll whip you again at the next station and at every station until you do behave" was the mothers warning.
 The youngster, incredulous, contin- ued in wrongdoing, the result being spanking operation at each of dozen stations before the bridge was reached. The child was convinced.
 I've had no trouble with her in public since," said the mother Tt worked like charm"

ILLEGAL REBATES CHARGED.
One Indictment of Standard Oil Go.
 Begins Trial.

Chicago.-Trial of one of the eight federal indictments against the Standard Oil Go. of Indiana began before Federal Judge Landis Monday The inictment contains 1903 counts and charges acceptance from railroads of illegal rebates aggregating $223,- 3G039
 The indictment upon which the first trial will be based is known as the Alton case,' and involves freight charges on oil shipped over the Chica- go & Alton railroads between Whiting, Ind, and East St. Louis, H., and St. Louis.
 The penalty to be imposed for each violation of the law is a fine of $1 ,000 to S20,000. Should the government be successful in it's contention that each shipment treated separately in the 1903 counts is distinct violation, the minimum total fine possible is s1,- 903, 900.

''RICH NEWS PAN|C'
PRICES PLUNGE DOWNWARD IN
 WALL STREET.
ONLY MILLIOhA|RES HURT
Enormous Losses Have Occurred, But to Men Who Are Able to
 Shoulder the Consequences.

New York, N. Y.-There was further drastic liquidation in the stock market, and periods of exciting weak ness, during which prices plunged doWnwards to level in many cases lower than for several years past.
 Enormous Losses.
 This week has been singularly free in fact from rumors of financial em- barrassments, although the extent of the decline makes the fact of enor- nous losses having occurred a matter of course. The conviction remains general that these have fallen gener- ally in the millionaire class. and amongst those who could shoulder the burden without ruinous consequences.
 Rich Mems Panic"
 It is this conviction which gives the present decline the name of the rich mems panic amongst professional op- orators.
 Gloomy sentiment was accentuated py the discouragins views on the in dustrial outlook expressed by E. H. Hartman, in one of various inter- views.
