CONTROL OF THE CANAL ZoNE.-That
the action of the secretary Of the treas
ury in paying out $50,000,O00, on ac-
count of the purchase of the Panama
canal property. to the new Panama
Canal company of France, as directed
by the act Of congress of 1902, was
valid and regular as officially decided
Yesterday by the supreme court Of the
United States. The decision was an
nounced by Justice Brewer and was
handed down in the case of Warren
B. Wilson, against Secretary Shaw.
The case was in the nature Of an in
junction suit by Mr.. Wilson, to re-
strain the payment Of the money, and
il originated in the local courts OF the
District of Columbia before the money
had been paid. The decision of both
the district supreme and district court
Of appeals was unfavorable to Mr..
Wilson's contention that the action Of
congress was unconstitutional, but
neither these decisions. nor the fact
that the secretary has made the pay
ment as directed, was sufficient to de-
ter Mr. Wilson. who is a lawyer and
" prOuerty holder residing in Chicago,
and he prosecuted the case to the
court of last resort. He argued his
own case before all the courts, and
when he appeared before the supreme
court he held the attention of that
tribunal for two hours.
In his opinion. Justice Brewer said,
the United States government has
dominion and control over the canal
zone and therefore has authority to
appropriate money to construct canal

which he attributes specific action on
the germ, is a most effective remedy
against the disease. DR.. H. de Roths-
child has administered chioroform in
ternally, and has had very favorable
results, especially in children. two pa
tients cut of nine having been cured
at once, while three were immediate

TOP INSPIRES
AN INVENTOR
From Principle Exemplified
by Top, Louis Brennan
Evolves Great Idea.
CARS RUN ON ONE RAIL
New System Being Investigated By
British War Department May
Revolutionize Railroading.

From the spinning top of small
boy TO a new style railway car and
motor running on a single rail, is the
evolution of a principal in the mind of
an inventor. and last night he as
founded an audience of the leaders of
the scientific world with a practical
demonstration Of his invention. at Lon
don England. 1t was the strangest
exhibition ever given and one that will
probably revolutionize the railroad
systems of the world
Imagine a railroad engine and cars
standing above single rail- with ap-
parently nothing to balance it, run
ming around sharp corners and speed
ing over rivers and valleys at a speed
Of $50 miles an hour. All this on
single rail, and when passing over a
river the rail ends and the train pass
es through the air on a single strand
Of cable. OF course, one would say
it couldn't be done, that the balance
would carry it to one side or another,
but when you saw the car keep its per-
feet balance, the overloaded side rise
automatically in proportion to the bur
den, you would think as did the ex-
perts, that it was uncanny.
The creator of this system is Louis
Brennan an English inventor, and the
war department saw and believed, and
is expanding money on it, too. He
gave a demonstration last night in a
hall before the Royal Academy, using
small engine and car and the way
that car ran around the hall on a
single rail, took the breath away from
the audience. 1t turned the sharp cor
ners and angles of the room at a
rapid rate. and the more they piled a
load on one SIDE the better it kept its
balance. In crossing supposed rivers
it sailed over on a wire strand.
The inventor stated that the feature
Of this system Of transportation is it's
capability of maintaining its balance
whether standing still or moving at a
rapid speed, Notwithstanding that the
center of gravity is several feet above
the rail- and that the strongest wind
pressure, load or any combination OF
forces could not upset it. The motive
power may be steam, electricity OF
gas. It makes no difference. In about
a month the government will have built
full sized engine and car and will
give the invention a thorough tryout
All who witnessed the trial last night
were greatly impressed and said thai
it will be of commercial value

Rennv a the cndfish-

The Goldfish is large, salty fish. It
comes in dry slabs, which you buy at
the grocery store, and has a strong
smell. When mixed with mashed po-
tato it can be eaten without fear, al
though l would rather have eustard
pie. The Goldfish is a native of the
ocean, and is caught by bearded men
who smoke pipes and have great
rough hands. In its wild state it
mingles freely with other fish, and
win sometimes eat them when pro-
voked or if it is suffering from the
pangs of hunger. Ny Uncle Jared
once knew a man who lived for six
weeks on Goldfish and water, to cure
himself Of dyspepsia. It cured him Of
the dyspepsia, but it gave him the
dropsy. This shows that everything
has some use. Let US be kind to our
fellow creatures, obey our parents,
and we may live to old age, respected
by all. The Goldfish has fms and scales
and is all stringy inside.-"B Benny" in

DID NOT BELIEVE STORY.
Tale of Old Testament Too Much For
Artless Youth.

when I was a youth in Zanes-
Vile" said e. S. Timms, clerk at
the Hotel Normandie, the other day,
II was an active worker in a local
Sunday school, was pretty popular
with the boys, was delegated to
gather the outsiders from the glass
works district together in a vacant
storeroom and begin their religious
instruction.
Zone Sunday I gathered about 40
youngsters who had never attended
Sunday school before, and as they did
not take kindly to the reading of the
Scriptures and the regular Sunday
school methods, began telling them
tales from the Old Testament. They
listened with much interest to the
stories of Adam and Eve, and Moses
in the bullrushes, and so on, but when
came to the story of Jonah and the
whale they listened with particular
attention.
when I concluded the story of how
Jonah was cast overheard from the
ship and received by the whale who
afterwards cast him up on shore. one
fellow broke the silence by saying:
"I believe that's a d lie. Give me
a chaw of terbacker.'

and I passed over the remark. In
time I got about so of those boys to
attend Sunday school regularly. De

MORSE WENT TO CHURCH.
Instinct Babe Him Respond to Call OF
the Bell.

H B. Smith of Monterey, Cal, has
a remarkable bay horse, Muggins,
which appears to have more religious
instinct than the majority of animals.
The horse has been used by Mr.. Smith
for the last 25 years to draw the fami-
ly to the village church. In the last
90 years there have been only two
Sundays on which Muggins didn't
have to carry some member of the
family to church. The second occa-
sion was a few Sundays ago. A year
ago the horse was turned into the
yard for little Sunday recreation and
nothing more was thought of Muggins
until the far distant toll of the church
bell was heard Then the horse
pricked up his ears. and realizing that
he was late, started off at a quick
pace for the church. He went directly
under the shed and took his accus-
toned place, where he remained until
it was time to go home.
A couple of weeks ago the horse
made his second appearance at the
church alone. Mr.. Smith had placed
Muggins in a stall and had left the
stable door slightly ajar. The old
bell tolled exceptionally loud and long
and Muggins could not resist the call
In some manner he slipped his halter
and made his way from the stable
to the church, where he remained
until the service was over. The par
son patted the horse affecuonately as
he trotted up to the door, and theI
he started on his homeward journey

PLAYING Poverty.

The little princess, Victoria Louise
of Prussia, was playing with her
friends one day, and longed for some
new, original play.
All the old games we're worn out
and exhausted If only they could
think of something quite different!
Her serene highness considered the
matter seriously until a novel idea
occurred to her, and she cried with
enthusiasm:
We will play poor people! Let US
play that we are poor, frightfully
poor, so poor that we have only two
lackeys!"

Italian Love of Art.

The mutilation of a Roman fountain
attributed to Raphael is probably not
the work of italian vandals. The open
and comparatively unprotected way in
which art treasures are displayed in
Italy proves the respect in which the
natives hold them In an open portico
in Florence, called the Loggia del Ian
ri, for example, are displayed price
less sculptures by Flaminio Vacca,
Giovanni da Bologna, Donatello and
Benvenuto Cellini. Among them beg
gars and peddlers have eaten and
slept for centuries and never a statue
has been defaced.
