INPUDENT LETTER.
Stevens the Most Astonished Man in
the Country.

The resignation of Chief Panama
Canal Engineer John F.. Stevens was
accepted by President Roosevelt be-
fore ii was formally rendered because
of an impudent letter he had written
the president.
Stevens had no intention of resign
ing. He had been promised supreme
control following the retirement of
Chairman Shonts, and was virtually
in that position.
When it became apparent that Will
liam j. Oliver stood the best chance
or receiving contract, Stevens wrote
the president rather ugly and i'm
perious letter He declared that he
desired to complete the canal himself
and did not want any outside assist
ance and that II the contract was
given to Oliver he would at once re-
sign. He even went so far as to
criticize the administration attacks
on railroads as one of the causes of
his encouragement and discomfort.
Stevens's letter was received on the
day that Oliver was granted ten days
within which to rearrange and COM
plete his bid. The president promptly
wired Stevens that his resignation was
accepted
Mr.. Stevens is the most astonished
man in public life.
In the reorganization of the canal
board 1t is understood that the presi-
dent will drop Col. Haines, u. S. A..
retired, and Benz. Harold, civil en-
gineers, and of the old members re-
tain only Admiral Endicott The army
engineers who will take charge Of the
work, Majors Goethals, Gaillard and
Sibert, only get $4,000 year each in
salary now, but owing to the high cost
OF living on the isthmus they will be
allowed to divide between them the
100000 salaries paid to President
Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens.
w. ]. oliver, whose bid for the canal
contract was rejected by the presi-
dent, says that friends of his were in
formed that he would get the contract
and that he spent $4,000 in prepare
tons. He is preparing statement
for publication. Mr.. Oliver says he
wouldn't accept place on the com.
mission.

Shoots Expenses Paid.

The senate passed the general de-
nciency appropriation bill. The bill
carries slightly less than $4,000. 900.
IL was amended by the inclusion of
several provisions, aggregating $500.
900, among which was an amendment
10 reimburse Senator Reed Smoot for
expenses incurred by him in defend
ing his right TO his seat in the SEN
ale $4,000. The amendment was the
only one In the bill which occasioned
discussion. Senator McLaurin offered
an amendment which provided that
the protestants against Senator Smoot
should receive an equal amount. When
this was laid on the table he proposed
that half the amount should go to the
protestants.
Ii was explained that Senator
Smoot had paid his attorneys $4,000
and the amount in the bill would only
reimburse him partially for this ex-
penditure.
Ii was also stated in opposition to
the amendment of Mr.. McLaurin, that
the government had paid all expenses
OF attending witnesses, making a to-
tai OF more than $4,000. Mr.. Dubois
said the women who protested against
Senator Smoot had raised the funds
for their attorneys through collections
He had no doubt that If reimbursed
the organizations represented would
use the funds for good purposes.
The second McLaurin amendment
was also defeated.

PENMANSHIP A FINE ART.
Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field.

There is a renaissance In penman-
ship, despite the speedy comforts or
the typewriters. Ten years ago 1t prob
ably would not have occurred to any
one TO show a page Of manuscript at
any exhibition; to-day pages or books
of script form feature Of every show
which takes to itself the name Of arts
and crafts. Some of the work is in
Roman capitals, but the form OF letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel. Apparently all the writer's
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, so that in some circles
1t creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons in script than 1t would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken TO poker work. From
one viewpoint it is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins, but though In the recent re.
vlval the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum-
inator are not necessarily one and the
same person. Some OF the illumina-
tons show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration, so delicate in color
ing and so refined in treatment that
IL challenges comparison with the best
OF old work.

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF.
Tells How to Make the Best Blood
Tonic at Home.

For those who have any form of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of it, try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called "The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" 1t acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out OF
sorts, and is known to relieve serious,
long-standing cases Of rheumatism
and chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try it.

Less Money. Slower Time

Because of the adoption of laws
compelling the railroads 10 carry pas
sengers for two cents mile in the
states OF Ohio and Indiana. the 1S-hour
trains operated by the Pennsylvania
and New York Central railroad com
panies between New York and Chi.
cago may be withdrawn. There is bill
before the Illinois legislature fixing the
same mileage rate, and IL this becomes
a law the highest fare possible for the
railroads to charge will be $1S.24 for a
single trip between New York and
Chicago. Under an operating agree
ment, the two companies charge the
same fare on their fastest trains. II is
now fixed at $50 and in addition the
traveller is compelled 10 purchase a
Pullman ticket, for which S. is
charged.
