PANAMA CANAL
 IS HALF DUG
Excavation Records Total 87,OOO,OOO Cubic Yards of
 Earth Removed
FORCE EMPLOYED 33,9Ol

Washington, Oct. 13.-Half of the task of digging the Panama Canal is over. Colonel Goethals and the men under him on the Isthmus put exertion to the limit during the month of Sep tember, according to reports received at the Isthmian Canal Commission and succeeded in crossing the half way line. tailed today it was found that S7 ,000,- moved from the canal prism, leaving S7,000, 900 yards still to be excavated. These figures do not include the exca- vation by the French companies done before the United States took hold of the project.
 The half of the work yet to be done the going will be less difficult as the fo1ce of men is larger, the equipment and the organization is perfected. It W3ll, however, be more complex. The canal building is no longer a mere ands of cubic yards of earth every day While some of the men are cutting the gash in Culebra others are building dams and still others have begun the preliminary work of building the big locks. The machinery for this latter phase of the work is installed. Before another month the three branches of canal work will be at the zenith of activity.
 al is the largest since the work began. The canal commission, railroad and commissary employ, 33.901 men. Of these 26,519 are digging the canal or looking after those who are digging the canal.

Fine feathers make fine hats.

Upon many many of the new hats of the season, the truth of this is proved most emphatically
 Long sweeping willow os- trich plumes and rich feath- CTS from birds of paradise; these are the fine feathers that have made fine hats.
 Of course they could not do it unless good taste was used and unless they were combined with hats of grace full line.
 But just that has been done. And the hats have been really made, have been made doubly styleful and charming, by their beautiful feathers.
 The millinery store is worth a visit these days. It just sparkles with the rich colors ,of the new headgear. It is a study in harmony; an exhibit lit up by the effec- tive contrasts that are to be noted with as much delight as the quiet one-color effects.
 Hats made to your person al notion, too. We are ready, and pleased, to work with anybody along the lines of their own taste. And the combination of your taste with the taste and skill of our designers produces hats of special beauty.

COMPANY CRIMINALLY
 RESPONSIBLE

Coroner Clifford B. Wilson made a decision whereby he found the Dan bury Electric Light Co, criminally negligent and responsible for the death of Harry B. Smart a trolley car motorman who was killed during the latter part of September in that city. The coroner reported his finding to J. Moss Ives, prosecuting attorney for Danbury, who will cause warrants to be issued for the officers of the com pany. The fault of the company as found by the coroner, lies in the fact that the company stretched wires carrying high voltage beneath the wires of the street railroad company.
 Smart was running on the last trip made by the company at night. He started to pass over the White street railroad crossing upon the signal of his conductor when the pole came off and broke off the span wire holding the trolley wire in place. The elec- tric light company had its wires strung on the same pole as the trolley company and the span wire fell across it. When the wire fell the power was automatic shut off at the power house and Smart knowing this started to clear up the fallen wires. He pick ed up the span wire which lay across the electric light wire and was electro cuted.
 The officers of the company are Charles H. Merritt, president; Alfred Wildman,, treasurer, and George E.. Cowperthwait, secretary and superin- tendent. The directors are Charles H. Merritt, B. A. Hough, A. M. Wi1dman c. Holley, George H. Williams, Charles A. Mallory, Harold P. Hoyt, all of Danbury, A. w. Buchard of New York and Eban Hill of South Norwalk.

SUICIDE HIS
 AIM, BUT DOSE
 WAS TOO WEAK
Second Floor of Factory In Uproar As Youth Swal- loNs Contents of Vial Marked "Poison''

The entire second floor of the Bryant Electric Manufacturing company was thrown into an uproar this morning when Antonio Minotti, aged IS years, of 101 Steuben street fell to the floor after swallowing the contents of a small phial containing a solution of bichloride of mercury. Every one made a rush for the fallen boy and when the small bottle was picked up and the word Poison seen upon the label the excitement was intense.
 A call was sent for Dr. Charles H. Sprague who pumped out the young mans stomach. There was no danger owing to the poison being diluted so much that it was harmless A call had been sent for the ambulance mean while and after another examination had been made the boy was taken to St. Vincents hospital where he will be kept for while.
 Why the boy should want to do away with himself is a mystery. He has a brother working in the same shop who said he did not know why Antonio should do such a thing. From what could be learned there is no girl in the case nor is there any other trouble known to his friends.

A COOKS CREST.
The Decoration Worn by a Pompous
 Persian Chef.

The Decoration Worn by Pompous
 Persian Chef.
 A quaint story from Persia is given in book by MT. James. The author had missed from his saddle the brass plate inscribed with the makers name Souter, and was wrath at his loss, since the name went for much in the judgment of the east
 "One day." he says, "T was sitting in my favorite teashop with my friend Hassan. Ali, discussing as usual Eng lands perfidy in abandoning north Per sia to Russian machinations, when most dignified Persian entered the auberge. He was preceded by a well groomed boy carrying his dust coat. The Persian bowed to me with great civility and passed into an inner apart ment As both man and boy bore furnished gilt crests upon their tall astrakhan hats I took them to be pub lie functionaries of no small impor- tance
 "'Who was that, Hassan Ah?' I ask ed. I do not remember having seen him before, yet evidently he recog- nized me-
 ""That,' said my friend, with his small, beady eyes twinkling, is your cook-yes'
 My cook! I answered in astonish- ment I took him to be at least the governors chief of staff
 "'Well. he is your chief of staff, which to him seems q higher degree yes. And Hassan Ali smiled his in- imitable smile
 But what in the name of good con- science is the impertinence that he wears upon his hat?'
 That must be your crest. It is badge of yours!'
 ''.'On my honor, Hassan Ali, you must not make fun of me. l have given the man no crest, and l have never set eyes on him before.
 "'I have seen the badge" Hassap Ali continued. It is undoubtedly your own It has the motto ''Souter," which is doubtless the old heraldic eontrac tion for the word souteneur, and also the subtitle, By royal appointment" -yes!
 It was. of course. the missing saddle plate.s which the ingenious cook had .conveyed'' as a heraldic decoration.
