tenth street, East Orange, proved an
easy victim to what the police of that
city SAY was the usual confidence ga ne,
when he handed over IS to Frank M.
Smith, 40 years old, of 81 Willow street,
bloomfield, for a supposed position in
the West. Smith is a machinist, and
R~esaules claims he offered to get him
a good position. When he got tired
waiting for the job he sought the aid
of the police. AS a result Smith was
taken in and this morning was ar
raigned in the East Orange Police
Court. He was held in $500 bail for
the Grand Jury.

One who has not been following very closely
the progress of the great work upon the Isthmus
of Panama can scarcely realize the changes that
and no matter how closely they have been fol-
lowed the magnitude of the changes wrought can
not be fully appreciated unless one has them.
The improvements striking enough under
any circumstances but If former trips have been

the last during the present dry season the
changes more striking still.

Four years ago my entrance to Colon was in the

first introduction to Isthmian hotels was far from
encouraging.

two respectable rooms on each floor opening out
on the veranda in 'front.' the rest dark and unn-
viting and mosquito infested and all furnished in
the most primitive way with little but cheap
wash stand, chair and very musty bed enclosed
with the inevitable netting.
= I still have very vivid recollection of prepar-
ing for bed and moving very nimbly to discourage
the familiarity of the mosquitoes and at last fran
tcally waving some piece of discarded wearing
apparel around the spot where l intended to
dive into the bed and when 1t seemed that the
immediate vicinity might be cleared making the
dive, closing the curtains and tuckng them in
It was seldom, however, that one could evade all
of the pests and If he did he could hear them mer-

they were inside or out and how soon they would
get busy.
. From the gallery in front the view was far from
inspiring. The yards of the Panama R. r. did
not look so bad but it was, and is, the noisiest
place of it's size that know Of Up and down the
muddy squalld street scraggy ponies were drag
ging carriages many sizes too large for them under

A stroll through the side or back streets dis
