Findlay, Ohio, Jan. 3.-onver w.
Sager, an engineer in Panama, writes
homo that graft is omnipresent on the
isthmus and that before tho United
States is through the cost OF the canal
will be fully a billion and half dollars.
He declares that enormous amounts
are expended for engines that are never
used and that he has seen hundreds of
these engines standing on the tracks that
have never been fired up" after delivery.
Sager says the game of politics is be-
ing played freely and predicts that as
soon as outsiders who are not Gin" on
the graft make an investigation the
United States will be startled by one of
the greatest scandals of recent years.

jackson, Miss, January 10.-Thst
the mild weather now prevailing
over the State will play havoc with
fruit prospects is the fear being ex-
pressed by leading hortioulturists.
From several counties come reports
that peach ano pear trees are spring
ing into blossom, and unless cold
weather intervenes within the next
few days all hope of good fruit
Drop will be abandoned.
In the southern section of the
State the thermometer has varied
from IS to 80 degrees during the
past week, and the sap is rising rap
idly in nearly all kinds of fruit trees.
Horticultural experts agree that the
outlook is one of much gravity.
The number of fruit trees in blossom
is not relatively large, at the same
time continuance of the present
temperature will mean a general
blossoming forth within few days,
and havoc will follow, for the farm
ers can hardly hope to escape freez
ing spells in February and March.
The present winter, in every re-
spect, has been very unusual. There
has been only one freeze in the GEN.
trail part of the State, and that was
very light.

mated the corpse of bis child in a

Wreck Testimony Conflicts.

Washington, Jan. b.-The inquiry of
the coroner's jury as to the cause and
responsibility for the Terra Gotta wreck
last Sunday, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, which had proceeded for four
days, resulted to-day in developing
direct issue between the block operator
at Silver Springs and the train crews of
passenger train No. 88 and "dead" train
No. 2,120. The operator says he gave
both trains q clear block or white signal
to Takoma. The trainmen say both
trains got the double green signal, indi~
eating that Takoma was closed for the
day and a train might be using the
switches at Terra Gotta or University.
The witnesses before the jury to-day
repeated the testimony they had first
given before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Bride kl...a 400 au.....

ST. Louis, Jan. 15.-Immediately
after Miss Loda Nieman, Of No.
1,415 North Bath street, became the
bride of Jacob Chaser, last night, she
had to give away 400 kisses. The
ceremony took place at Druids Hall,
aud was according to 'he old Jewish
custom.
As soon as the minister had finish
ed saying the words which married
the two young persons, the 400
guests swarmed toward the altar.
The newly-made husband barely had
time to take the first kiss before his
bride was being saluted osculatori-
ally by another young man--young
and old, little and big-everybody
got his or her kiss. When the exer.
else was through the bride was nearly
exhausted, but beamingly declared
that If there were any person who
had not received his due she stood
ready to see that the omission was
corrected.
Both bride and bridegroom tasted
for twenty-four hours preceding the
wedding.
To celebrate the breaking of their
fast they drank of the nuptial wine,
a wedding present-and dashed the
glasses to the floor, where they were
broken into thousand pieces.

Our National Birthday.

July 4th has again come and gone
and the whole nation joins in cele-
brating the anniversary of the advent
of our great American freedom.
One Hundred and thirty-one years
ago that instrument of writing which
declared that we were, and of right
ought to be a free and independent
government was signed by our fore
fathers and from that day that declar-
alton has been handed down from
generation TO generation as a price
less legacy.
To-day our nation stands out be-
fore the world as the strongest and
best nation on earth.
Many of us celebrate the event of
this glorious anniversary without CIV
ing thought to what it really means,
but we trust that the courage and
patriotism that prompted the signers
of that greatest of all documents, the
Declaration of Independence may ever
be kept In the memory of the younger
generations and that we may strive to
maintain the proud liberty which was
on that memorable day in 1776 de-
clared for US by those whose names
were inscibed upon that paper.
All honor to them and to this glo-
