Spayde, we'll known here and one Of the
best known citizens Of Lemhi county,
Idaho, where he served two terms as
county commissioner, turned burglar
Tuesday to secure a rifle with which
he shot himself through the heart
Spayde was seen by ranch hands at
the Wend ranch near Indianola, Idaho,
to break into the ranch house when
the owners were absent, and then to
turn the gun upon himself. This act
followed soon after Spayde had been
furnished with a new suit of clothing,
he having completely disrobed, packed
his clothing into grip. which he threw
into the Salmon river. A year ago
Spayde slashed his throat on a crowd
ed street in Bannock.

NEW YORK, May 22.-High honor
will be paid to the only living ex-

the Metropolitan Temple as a last
ing tribute to Theodore Roosevelt
The dedicatory program arranged by

and includes addresses by many dis
tinguished ecclesiastics and states
men. The praises of the statesman
who is now engaged in increasing the
mortality rate among the wild beasts
of Africa will be sung in many keys and
his virtues eulogized from many view
points.
The window which occupies one
of the large circular openings in the
front of the church, was designed
and constructed under the personal
supervision of Louis C. Tiffany.
1.-THE subject Of the window is
Equal Justice to AL" The design
shows a woodland scene; in the fore
ground stands majestic white-robed
figure, his right hand supporting a
standard, on which are set the scales
of justice, and bearing in his left
hand a flaming torch, expressive of
light and truth. Suspended from his
shoulders is the golden key Of knowl-
edge.
The border of the window bears
the inscription: I'm memory Of the
Administration of Theodore Roose-
welt. September IA, 1901-March 4,
1909"
This will be the third memorial
placed in the Metropolitan Temple
during DR.. Hills pastorate. The first
is a peace window in memorW of Gen
eral Grant; the second, a Mckinley
memorial organ, dedicated last De-
cember, by President Taft and others

refused to have anything to do with it. In
stead he sent word to Amador that if the Co

hours-it was then eight oclock-he would
lombard the city. The threat ignored;
but the commander fulfilled it. Promptly at
ten o'clock he fired shell at the CITY 1t went

He fired third. 1t fell in the Plaza Chirlqui
and killed Chinese laundrvman.
That ended the bombardment, and the gum
boat steamed away to Colombia; and that one
coolies was all the blood shed in the entire
revolution.
The hapless fifteen Colombians in the police
station gritted their teeth with countless
Caraprhds and vowed vengeance upon Huertas
and Amador and all Panama soon their
valiant troops should come and release them.
But alas! the troops never came. They did
not arrive day or two late, when they might
have offered the excuse made by French Colo

before FarraSut captured that city. Repri-

Such was the memorable Third of November,
1908 in ancient Panama. Of all the innurner-
able revolutions that have occurred in the last
century between the Rio Grande and the
Strait of Magellan, that was the most expedi-
tious and the most facile. We may add that no
other had more righteous cause, and that no
other has ever bid fair to be more lasting in its
results or more benefcent to the world.

There was something in the boyish frankness
of the little General that disarmed suspicion,
and the Colombians yielded. They were enter
tanned at breakfast and that MONDAY meal was
prolonged until we'll into the afternoon. Then
one of the Generals wondering why they had
not heard from their troops, slipped out and
telephoned to Colon to inquire why they had
not come on-or, rather, he tried to do Ma
nipulate the instrument as he would, and apos
trophize or supplicate or obJurgate central, he
could not get Colon. Alarmed and suspicious,
he fastened back to the breakfast table and
told his comrades:
communica ton with Colon! We are betrayed I"
At once the four Generals and their staffs,
fifteen strong, rose and demanded that lnl1ne-
diately the local troops be mustered and placed
at their command, and that they be conducted
to the sea wall. Huertas Smlllngly acceded.
