Washington, June 2S.-The greed Of
politicians for patronage and the sub

yielding to their opportunities have
brought construction work Cn the Pan

mate chaos. A situation has arisen
which threatenes to retard operations
and delay the completion of the great
waterway indefinitely The only rem.

gigantic enterprise to contractors.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft have had a conference on this
subject at Oyster Bay and Mr.. Taft

Love Is Not Dead.

We hide love more than we used to
we scoff at 1t openly and flee from Its
demonstration we hate scene and
we are fashlonably cold, calculating
and brutal OF language our hearts
are as warm as the most sentimental
mortal who lived, signing like q fur
mace, hundred years ago. The Amer
lean, by dlnt of hard circumstance and
Of being much victimlzed, has learned
the unwlsdom OF keeping his heart on
his sleeve: tale OF distress brings
sneers, the whining mendicant Is sworn
at yet let real want be known and the
response Is instant and munlflcent
Love is dear treasure, even though
we felgn to laugh at II there has been
many a play and book which would
have been altogether impractical were
1t not for the love motive OF strong
man and fair maid which held II to-
gether, made It tenable, interesting and
and this being at the same
time sheer, old-fashioned romantic love,
which the French author or playwright
70 often deforms and Bernard Shaw
sneers at as weak romanticism.

| Gov. Proctor of Vermont has signed
the bill providing for the consolidation
of the school systems of neighboring
towns under one superintendent.
Registration statistics of leading east
ern universities are as Follows: Harvard,
5,272; Columbia, 1885, Pennsylvania.
1860; Cornell, 3,461; Yale, 3,210;
Princeton, 1884.
The annual report of the London coun-
ty council shows that the city schools
have been maintained at an outlay of
S25, 100000, md that there are 10000
teachers for an average school attend
aCce of 669,16 The salaries for head
teachers range from 500 to $1,000. and
for assistants from 1925 to SS75. Each
teacher has charge of forty-three children
on an average.
By decision of the Supreme Court of
the State of Washington legal authority
upholds the efforts of school officials to
check the abuse of secret fraternities and
societies in public high schools. A local
board had forbidden pupils to Join a Sc
cret fraternity, and as a penalty for dis
obedience denied to offenders certain priv
ileges in the social life of the school, hut
did not limit in any way the essential
educational rights. Action was brought
in behalf of the fraternity to restrain
the school board from depriving the pupiIs
of these privileges. The trial court denied
the application for an injunction, andy
the Supreme Court sustained the denial.
The court says that the evidence over
establishes the fact that such
fraternities do have a marked influence
on the school, tending to destroy good or
der, discipline and scholarship. This be-
ing true, the board is authorized, and il
is its duty, to take such reasonable and
appropriate action by the adoption Nof
rules as will result in preventing thesa

Roland for His oliver.

In a suit recently tried In Virginia
town a young lawyer of limited expert
ence was addressing the jury on d
point of law when good naturedly he
turned to opposing counsel, man of
much more experience than himself,
and asked:

Whereupon Hopkins, with smile Of
conscious superiority, replied:
''Sir, 1 have an office In Richmond
wherein l shall be delighted to en-
tighten you on any point Of law for

The youthful attorney, not in the
least abashed, took from his pocket
half-dollar piece, which he offered

The costume at the left is of cloth in
a blush shade, like the bloom on q
plum. The corselet skirt is composed
of very narrow breadths and is cut in
points over a deep flounce of the ma,
terial. These points are finished with
an edge Of velvet Of deeper shade.
The short bolero, oddly cut out around
the arms and also around the neck, is
covered with an embroidery of SOU
tache Of the same shade and bordered
with an edge of velvet. The blouse and
elbow sleeves are of tulle and lace.
The costume at the right Is of wine
colored cloth. The front breadth of
the skirt, which fastens on one side,
extends upward, forming a crossed

1t is no new principle that Doctor
Fere of the Bicetre Hospital in Paris
has made known in recent article on
work and Repose," but it Is not the
less worth repeating. He has made
many special experiments, and an
nounces as their general result that the
supposed value Of various alcoholic
and other stimulants to increase physI-
cal and mental energy, and postpone
fatigue, or avoid the effects of fatigue,
Is illusory. There is only one form Of
effective, recreatlve repose-sleep; and
sleep, in order to exercise its proper
power must be natural. The sleep pro-
duced by narcotics is "a toxic somno-
lence having the appearance only Of
real reparative Sleep" But sleep itself
is a mystery concerning whose nature
we possess merely Hypothetical
knowledge"

effect of considerably shortening the |

geological records showing four sue
