STRIPED SHOES FOR MEN.
Odd Craze That May Become Popular
 In England. -.--.9 F--


 Oculists should have busy time in the coming season If the fashion that is threatening to become popular with men really becomes the craze, for the west end haunts in London of the well dressed will prove dazzling indeed to the eyes of all but the lucky possessors of very strong vision.
 Stripes are to be the wear-striped coats and striped trousers, striped ties, striped socks, stripedJ waistcoats and possibly striped boots! ar.- .. .r,.- The fashion of striped clothing has for some time been prevalent in femi- nine fashion, and with the advent of the striped frock coat the craze has already begun to catch on" with the stronger sex.
 Striped clothes are becoming more and more popular and undoubtedly will be the prevailing fashion for this sum- mer," said a west end general outfit ter. r-l.- -.- --sl Not only in suits, however, will stripes be predominant. Striped socks, waistcoats, shirts, pajamas, etc, are already popular.
 But the modern Beau Brummel is nothing If not thorough. It is quite possible that he will wear striped boots this summer. The uppers of these boots are of various shades of striped cloth and to those who can wear them look attractive.

SOUTH AMERICAN SCRAP.
Colombia Invades Panama Territory,
 and War Is Threatened.

Panama, April 3.-Advices received here reported that Colombian troops on March 26 had invaded the town of Jurado, on the frontier of Panama and Colombia, taking possession of the place, which has always been under Panama's jurisdiction. The advices stated that no resistance had been of fered to the Colombians, as Jurado was guarded by only five Panama DO licemen.{ There is no telegraph com munication between that town and Panama, and confirmation of the re- port of Its invasion by Colombian troops is not possible at present.
 Ricardo Arias, secretary of foreign affairs, said regarding the report, "Our government would consider the occu. patton of Jurado by Colombia as a casus belli."
 On several previous occasions siml- lar report regarding an invasion by Colombian troops has been circulated, and, as on other occasions, citizens of Panama expressed indignation and de- clared their readiness to support the government in whatever action it deemed necessary to take.
 "A meeting will be held at the in- stance of the administration to decide upon what immediate steps are to be taken to dislodge the Colombians from Jurado If the report proves to be cor root ! d

The news papers editorial is addressed to Minis ter W. w. Russell, our representative at Caracas. IL says in part:
 The government of Venezuela re- fuses for the time being to take under consideration the insinuation made in your note because up to now. MT. Min iSter. you have not contradicted the note of this ministry of dates July 9 and Sept. 20 last. which treated of the points which have been the subject of discussion and in which the reasons on which this government then founded its negative were perfectly well de fined.

R0OSEVELT'S BIRD LORE.
British Naturalist Surprised by the
 Presidents Knowledge.

k. Keatnor, the well known British naturalist, was entertained recently at the White House by President Roose- welt. He lectured by request to an au- dience which included the British ann bassador and the president. showing unique pictures of birds building their nests, breeding and feeding their young, flying over their rocky fast nesses and diving in the sea.
 MT. Keatnor wrote the following for the New York Times: T am charmed by the wonderful knowledge, kindli- ness and br1lliance of President Roose- welt. He is truly great. After lunching with him one day at the White House he took me for drive in the country and introcuced me to good many American birds. thought that I knew something about stalking small birds, but his quickness of eye and ear and the infinite pains he took that I might get good view of his feathered friends among the branches of tall trees astonished me.
 Together we stealthily crept over muddy, slippery hillsides and beneath dripping undergrowth stalking wood peckers, phoebes, cardinal birds, tree sparrows or other winged creatures.
 "The president wished to show me, and as we followed the course of river he remarked, Here is the place to see an Ameffan kingisher,' and aI- most immediately exclaimed with boy 1sh impulsiveness, I hear his ,notes.' Stalking cautiously fin the direction in dicated by President Roosevelt, I ob- tained good view of the bird, which is larger than it's British representa- tive, but not so brilliantly colored. T have tramped English woods, Welsh hillsides and Scottish mountains with many good walkers. but have sell dom come across man who could touch President Roosevelt at getting over rough ground while on the alert for any living thing that might betray its presence by sound or movement. ! had the extreme satisfaction of thank ing the ruler of the United States of America for giving me the greatest pathological treat have ever en- joyed in my life.
 Just to indicate this great mans kindness of heart will mention fact that immensely pleased me. After my lecture at the White House was over the president shook hands with the two men who had shown my slides and animated pictures on the screen and thanked them for the admirable way in which they had done their work"

FILIBUSTER IN THE HOUSE.
Democrats Try UnsuecessfuIIy to De-
 lay Action by Majority.

lay Action by Majority. ,.
 Washington, April 3.-Challenged by the Republicans, the Democrats of the house entered upon filibuster. As soon as the agricultural bill was out of the way formal notice was served on the Democrats by Mir. Payne (N. Y), the leader. of the majority, that from that time on the Republicans would lock horns with the Democrats and carry through the programme of the majority in spite of the attempt of the minority, under the leadership of MT. Williams (Miss.), to dictate the char acter of legislation to be enacted. He declared that an employers liability law would be enacted at this session.
 Immediately undertaking to carry this schedule into effect, MT. Payne forced the latest sitting of the session. Both sides were able to keep their members in their seats, and 1t soon be. came evident that the Democratic fill buster was lon" in real earnest.
 After forcing thirteen roll calls and exhausting their parliamentary re- sources in employment of dilatory tao. tics the Democrats found themselves worsted in the struggle, the majority side, carrying motion to adjourn by the vote of 121 to S1.

Pennies Woven Into Birds Nests.

For several months secret service men have been trying 10 catch the thief that has been robbing mail box fin the Nauvoo neIghborhood at Evans vile. Ind. Many farmers without stamps in mailing letters were in the habit of leaving two pennies on top of the letter and sticking 1t in the mail box. Officers recently solved the mys- tery hy the discovery that a bird had built its nest in the far corner of the box and had pulled the pennies over and woven them into the grass and straw at the bottom of It's nest.
