WILL BE A GENUINE BOON.
Purchase of Libraries for Canal. EN-
ployes on the Isthmus.

Mr.. Joseph Bucklin B!shop. Secretary or
the isthmian canal commission. who has
been spending July with his family at Fall
mouth. Mass on Cape Cod, will sail from
New York for the isthmus with them to-
morrow. He has, during the month. Sc
lected and purchased, by order of the COM
mission Libraries for the four recreation
buildings that have been completed and
thrown open for the use of the employees of
the commission at Cristobal, Gorgona En-
pire and Culebra. These libraries contain
about six hundred volumes each. compris-
ing standard reference books. and volumes
of history, biography travel and fiction.
The fiction is different in each library, so
that it can be changed about from one IL
brary TO another. thus giving the employees
a much larger collection.
In addition to purchasing these Libraries.
which Mr.. Bishop has selected through con-
sutation with Young Mems Christian
Association officers who have had much
experience in selecting braries for en-
ployes Of railways and other industries In
this country. he has bought also a library
of similar size for the University Club in
Panama This club is composed of several
hundred canal employees in clerical and
other higher grade positions, and has
very attractive little clubhouse in The city
of Panama. Being private organization
and in no way under commission control,
it was not in the power of the commission
to purchase a library for It. Mr.. Bishop
was able to secure one through the gen.
crosby of Gen. Thomas III. Hubbard of New
York city, who promptly gave the neces-
sary funds as soon as the matter was pre-
scented to him.
AS there are no public libraries In Pana-,
ma or anywhere else on the !sthmus. these
various collections of books, aggregating
about 5000 volumes, will be genuine boon
to the 5000 American employees and their
families engaged in various capacities In
canal work.

ARE VERY OPTIMISTIC
DEMONSTRATORS OF WEATHER
BUREAU IN GOOD SPIRITS.

Willis Moore's hired men are right Opt.
mistic today. And tbs no wonder Only
two kicks have been received at the weather
factory in the past three days, and one
was from an elderly spinster in Brookland
whose hydrangeas neer water and the other
from Maryland farmer who planted five
acres In rice, hoping that 1t would be a
wet summer. Outside of these there have
been no complaints, and, what is better the
guessing continues excellent.
According to this mornings typewriter
prognostlcation, fair weather will loiter in
this vicinity until Thursday and maybe
longer. But there's no telling, as even the
finest Of the instruments at the weather
bureau do not work more than two laps
ahead Of the truth. At present there Is a
gentle breeze from the west which is pretty
sure to become variable and blow from the
north, east or south. But in the bulletin
this Is merely mentioned en- PEASANT. Who
cares?
The weather is sluggish pretty much
everywhere. There hasn't been a cyclone
in Kansas since last week, and that was
only little one which transplanted two
barns and a cow and didn't even cause talk:
Not much hope Of decided change Is held
out, either. A light local shower Is adver-
tised for eastern Florida between 8 and 3
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and II may
rain on the upper end of Lake Erie tomor-
wet this item is not considered Of para
mount Importance.
Trifing West Winds.
Trifling west winds will fool around the
Atlantic coast for the next day or two, and
outgoing steamers will have clear weather
and Goldfish to the Grand Banks.
Temperature changes during the next
forty-eight hours will be small unless, OF
course, it should get hotter, which would
be unfortunate. But the bureau Is hoping
for the best. The prognosticator who or
dered a double supply of ice for his home
for today is getting the scientific smile
from his associates and had to charge q
nickel to profit and loss. He's the only
pessmistic one in all the weather factory
bunch.
The expert who reads the self-recording
thermometer met with an accident this
morning, when an Alabama isotherm sent
to Prof. Moore several weeks ago for study
of it's habits and peculfarities bit him
through the fleshy part Of the hand 1t Is
thought the isotherm was merely playing.
The wound was cauterized and. no i'll ef-
fects to the expert are anticipated.
The tame isobars are all doing well.

GOVERNMENT HAS
BECOME ALARMED
Difficulty Between Companies
and Their Employees Has Not
Yet Reached Stage Where
President Might Attempt
Arbitration.

Albuquerque thus far has suffered
from the telegraphers strike princip-
ally in lack of outside news and In
almost complete suspension of tele-
graph business. Thus far only one
man, an operator at the Western
Union office, who quit Saturday night
when the general strike order was re-
ceived here, has joined the ranks of
the strikers, but it is believed that
the Postal forces will go out II they
are ordered to do so, though no
statement to that effect, or in fact to
any other effect except that his force
is all at work, can be obtained from
the manager. He says business is
booming at his office, despite the
fact that so many large cities are un-
able to handle business because of
the strike.
The fact that the Postal and West
ern Union operators are out in many
cities all over the country is making
business slow, and all messages are
taken subject to delay"
The Associated Press situation is
unimproved and it is almost impos-
sible to give more than an abbreviat-
ed report, as the association is not
able to get it's matter over the wires.
Newspapers all over the world are
affected by this strike.
The government is not yet in a
position to interfere and suggest ar
btration, but unless the two parties
to the strike reach an agreement in
very few days, there is little douh;
that President Roosevelt will take a
hand in the game. Already govern
mental business is sadly crippled.

PRISONER MAKES
new CONFESSION
Admits That He Fired Load Into
Neck and Throat of Victim
and That His First
Story Was Not
True.

Roswell, N. NJ, August 12.-The
alleged confession of Moses l.. Lewis,
made at the county Jail here last
week, that he haG murdered Leland
S. Terhune. his cousin and partner
in a farming enterprise near here
by striking the latter over the head
with a spade as a result of a quarrel
occasioned by Terhune's having ac-
cused Lewis of thinking too much
of young Mrs. Terhune, was literal
ly shot to pieces" when DR.. c. NJ
Mayes, after an examination of Ter
hune's body, which was found buried
in an irrigation ditch on his farm
after a long search, declared that
the man had died from a gunshot
wound in his neck, inflicted at so
close range that the skin was powder
burned. When confronted with the
details of this examination, Lewis
"reconfessed," and admitted slipping
up to Terhune and shooting him
down.
His First Story.
Lewis made his confession last
week only when Mrs. Terhune aged
22, and IL years his junior was
brought into his cell, handcuffed and
in tears, begging him to confess and
free her from the charge. He broke
Terhune with a spade. He gave a
story that excited some pity in his
behalf, owing to his alleged chivalr-
Gus action in defending Mrs. Terhune
from even her husbands ISLANDERS
but the whole story Is now known
to be false ana 1t is apparent that
he killed Terhune in order to attempt
to win the widows affections. She
has been released from all blame in
the case.
Held Without Bond.
The coroner's jury has ordered
Lewis held without bond for killing
! Terhune with a shot gun.
Lewis is apparently beside him
! self and he refuses now to divulge
| anything further than his second
| confession that he did kill Terhune
as DR.. Mayes has said. He fails to
| impress the officers that he killed
| the man during a quarrel, as they
believe he slipped up to the victim
without giving him any warning, and
| been a quarrel but the officers dc
not believe there was any such trou-
BILE.
Both Well Liked.
At the inquest it was brought out
| that Terhune had been arrested six
weeks ago on a minor charge, but
| the justice who issued the warrant
| Immediately explained TO the jury
| that it had been a mistake and that
| Terhune was Immediately eXonerat-
ed.
After the killing, from blood spots
on the wagon used by the two men,
| it is apparent that Terhune was
| hauled to the irrigation ditch
| through which no water was then
running, and his body dumped in
and buried. But for an unusually
heavy flow having washed the dirt
! off part of the clothing, 1t is prob
able that the body might never have
been found.
