De Lesseps' Canal Failure
Nineteen Years Have Passed Since
French Engineer Began Work at
Panama; Ended in Scandal.
-By Rev. Thne. B. ,SFerOrE
n HIRTY-THREE years ago

IT. HIRTY-THREE years ago today
February 10. 1SS1-F. de Les
Il seps, the French engineer com
menced laying out the course for the
Panama canal, and thus began the job
which was to end in the most stu
pendous scandal Of modern times.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, one Of the
most remarkable men of the ages, had
hypnotised the International congress
az Paris, inveigled individuals and
states into subscribing to the scheme,
and the dream of centuries seemed
about to be realized, at a money cost
Of s125, 600, 900.
From time to time delegates met De
Lesseps at the isthmus to prepare for
the opening of the big ditch, which
was set for 1888. Subscription followed
subscription, and loan followed loan,
and the interest did not forget to &C
emulate. The fail Of 1888 came in due
time, and the promised opening did not
materialize. With only a fifth of the
work done the Indebtedness was $780,,
100000. Further borrowing became i'm
possible, and the company was forced
into liquidation. The tide level at
Colon filled in; and the S35,0G0,000
plant began rusting away. The Colon
bian government graciOusly voted the
company an extension of ten years
time in which to finish the contract,
when all of a sudden the bubble burst
with consequences that astounded the
world.
Wholesale bribery.
In the autumn Of 1892 NJ Delahaye
declared that no fewer than 100 mem
bers Of the French legislature had been
bribed by the company, and that the
vast project was nothing less than
gigantic fraud. The revelations that
came out in the trial which followed
very nearly wrecked the government,
The worst that Delahaye had charged
was shown to be true, and the fierce
rcproaches of the people knew no
bounds. Three hundred and seventy
millions of dollars of hard earned
money had been sunk, and to cover up
the villainOus business, 1t appeared
that the press had been bribed and the
legislature corrupted.
Becomes Famous Bubble.
The Panama company took its
bic" and the mississippi Scheme" as
tory.
But as Shakspere says, I'VE may
make a moral even out of the devil
himself" and the great scandal was
not without its influence for good upon
the men to whom Uncle Sam intrusted
the task that is now practically fin
ished. The great waterway across the
sthmus-prOnOunced By James Bryce
to be the largest liberty that man has
ever taken with natUre"-is now a
reality, and the story Of the great
achievement is one that our people will
never have to be ashamed Of.

It is the better part of vaIor to possess at, least one black hat, for you will notice the pendulum of fashion regularly swings back to the inevitable black hat. The dark color tones are best liked for daytime hats. Onyx, citron.- amythest gendarme blue, taupe, Russian green, naxixe, tetc de negre are shown in good proportion of the imported models. Wings, quiiis and fancy ostrich in every shape and form are used in eccentric ways.
 A small hat with high indented crown had stubby little shaded quills placed every which-way around the crown. Di- rectly in front and back were tailored bows of faille ribbon. If one is fortu- nate enough to possess Paradise aig- rettes it is well to know that they are often made up in snake-like effects or shoot outward around the crown.
 Narrow velvet ribbons and wide silk :ihbons, preferably faiile, in dasiine loops, are always safe trimming. A bit of turquoise ribbon gives gay fi1isf ! to some of the hats. M Feathers, which have long rcignsd sd

A purple hat had large velvet two toned poppies topping the crown Nesting here and there were little bows of velvet ribbon. The brim of this hat hared suddenly at each side and was singularly becoming.
 A green hat, which could hardly have been much smaller, had small flowers .circling the crown. Rising from the Pcrown were three uncuried plun,es, placed each at a different angles the tips crossing each other.
 The secret of the successful hats seems to be that the garniture should look as if it was about to fall of, anc was. not fastened. securely. A shell shaped hat, tilted to the from by means of bandeau covered witt loops of narrow velvet ribbon, had tn, crown covered completely with tiny tip in different shades of brown.

Tn choosing your hat scrutinize it from every angle and try it on while stand ing so as to get good view of "tout ensemble The delft fingers of the home milliner will readily find g way in trimming the hats so that they will defy criticism if the correct shape is chosen, for scarcely any trimming is needed to complete the desired effect
 Hats, with a masculine penchant have gained a secured position, but their fennininity is evirccd by mean, of the trimming. The hats with rar. row brins and high crowns are muct like a mans high tcp hat.
 One of these hass was tri1sznea witt a cluster of F black wings as the cen. ter of the crown, while arotkrr had [ tall fan shaped arrangement of marrow pfcatings of noire silk ribbor.

Tailored models of wide plaid Her cules braid. faced with dark topeSi yelve simply trimmed with ribbon or quill have been successfully launched.
