Say Of Other Editors
Panama Zone MARRIAGES.

Telegram: News comes from Panama that
along the canal zone It Is almost impossible to
keep quorum Of female nurses, stenographers,
ETC., - the tendency Of them Is to marry 10 an
unreasonably brief period after their arrival.
One correspondent says IL is due to the richly
effulgent moonlight that trickles through the
orange and mango groves and shines on the
folded golden wings Of the cockatoo.
He Is mistaken. 1t Is altogether the eli
mate. 1t 10 the prostrating and relaxing eli
mate in which after few days woman loses
the power OF resistance and when good look
ing man asks her to marry she has no longer
the resolution to refuse.
Then, clothing costs little there-up to
years Of aye nothing at ali, and food grows
spontaneously, and why with this knowledge
should mortals fret and worry any more?
Housekeeping is CORRESPONDENCE cheap; a few
bamboo poles tor walls, some leaves for roof
and hammock provides about all that is
necessary. Naturally 10 such place money
soon loses its value and marriage dowery for
bride brings nothing except more care, and
care Is the very thing they all fight down un.
der that sun. When banana, few ciga.
rettes, cupof chocolate and hammock make
up the essentials OF home, why not marry and
give up the everlasting struggle for money?

Judge Takes Initiative.

Boxelder News We should like TO shake
the hand OF that judge at White Plains, New
York, who, a few days ago, sent a jury back to
revise its findings, because the absurdty of its
action grated upon his sensibilries. The case
was that Of a boy against a railroad company
for damages for the loss of a foot In an accident
for which the company was responsible. The
jury brought In verdict for the plaintiff as
ssssing damages at 900. When their action
was reported to court, the judge sold 81 don't
think the amount Is sufficient. II you find for
the plaintiff at all The verdict shocks the sensi.
bility OF the court. / think you should figure
on the amount which will compensate the boy
for the loss OF his foot, and his sufYerings" So,
he ordered the jurymen 10. retire and recon.
slider. When they came back the second time,
they had fixed the damages at 5000. Now,
we should like to know why judges in this part
of the country cannot exercise such a preroga.

Instead Of being as they often are, often

health, vacant lots are easily and inexpensively

kept lot is more attractive than lot In q
state OF neglect, and, II put on the market,

Rubbish, In any event, should not be

see to it that weeds and grass are cut on all

would, and 1t would enhance the value OF the

MeneIik's Gift to the Pope.

Numidian lions His holiness was good deal
startled and discounted by the present. His
predecessor was fond OF animals and had q
great many near where he could visit them
daily, but the present pope has been sending
them away. When these two healthy specl.
mems reached the vatican there was a sensa-
tion, for lthey were the genuine article We
believe they were finally transferred to ZOO
A correspondent explains that when Menelik
saw the pope's heraldic device, the lions of st.
Mark, on his coat Of arms, he naturally thought
the lions would be welcome present. Now

time he was elected pope, patriarch OF Venice,

Before congregation that filled the church Rev. Dr. l. C. Meserve, former pastor of the Davenport church, preached last night and con ducted the entire service at that church where he Is filling the pulpit during Q visit fin this city, Dr. Mes. erve took as hls topic lase night. the San Francisco disaster through which he and his family passed together with the rebuilding and the plans for the future of tho city. He told a number of personal incidents affect Ing himself and his family which oc- cured during tho dire period of the Are and for over an hour he interested his hearers with an account of tho great city of the Pacific coast.
 Dr. Meservo told how $100, 900, 900 had already been expended In tho re- building of the city and that as soon as tho financial depression passes over as much more will be put Into the work which is taking such giant strides. Regarding the future of the city he said 1t was the aim of the citl- zens to make San Francisco which will be the great capital of the vest ern coast not only materially the larg- est but also morally the best city pos slblc, rich and strong but also good.
 One of the instances he laid partic- ular stress on was the fight to restrain the liquor traffic. Before the fire, Dr. Meserve etated, tho license fee was only sS4, now t is $500 and con- certed effort is being made to put 1t up to $1,000, which he said would be effected if the matter were ever submitted to q popular vote and which will be insisted on until se- cured
 In order to extend the influence of religion in the new city there !s a federation formed among all the churches in which the Roman caiho- lie churches have combined with the Protestant denominations and fine re- ] suits are expected for the good of the city.
 Dr. Meserve was always confident Of the future of the city and it's power 10 arise better than ever from the ashes of the past
