Political Windfalls
GROVER ( 6ERGOOOL

Several bygone politicians have received even more substantial tributes from their admirers than the brothers Redmond and Keir HIardie, who, under the will of Miss Jane Kippen. divide el0,0O0 between them, says the Manchester Courier.
 Golden gave himself up so much to poli. tics that his affairs were always in dis order, but no man ever had more gen. erous friends. The best of these was John Pennington Thomasson, formerly d member of Parliament for Bolton, who presented him with several large sums. amounting in one instance to E1000.
 The romantic story of Disraeli and Mrs. Brydges Williams is another case in point. There was a spice of mystery in this which appealed to Disraeli; the as- signations pressed on him by the lady with increasing fervor till he went to meet her, the envelope containing a flG00 note thrust into his hand and the be- quest at a critical time in his life of the whole of the lady's fortune-all this be- longs to the realms of fiction rather than of workaday fact.
 The elder Pitt enjoyed two political windfalls. Under the will of that old termagant Sarah Duchess of Marlhor- ough, he received e10,000 flor the noble defense he made for the support of the laws of England" At later stage in his career Pitt was left an estate of some G300o by Sir William Pynsent, whom he had never met and with whom he had never correSpOnded.

The Alabama Team Goes to Pieces and "0ie Miss"
 Scores Victory

Tuscaloosa April 1.-fSpecial.1-The en- tire Alabama team went to pieces today and the Mississippi college nine 'romped' with an easy victory. However, to Mr. Brooks belongs nine-eighths of the laurels. Said gentleman having suffered a sprained ankle in the last world series, is training with the Mississippi boys. Owing to his injured ankle he only succeeded in strik- ing out 20 Alabama batsmen. He also managed to get several scratch hits The only hits secured off Brooks were a scratch by Hamilton and d two-bagger by Joplin which occurred in the ninth.
 The Mississippi team worked the squeeze play with marked success. Bethea de- serves much credit for the way in which he handled the shots from Brooks wing. Many "bones" were pulled by the Ala bama inaeld. A second game will be played Thursday. Score:

Finding His Own Way Out

l "I think" said this young man. with
 great emphasis on the personal pro-
 noun, as quoted by the New York Sun, ''that there ought to be on the inner
 side of the exit door of every flat, just as there is required by law to be
 on every exit door from a theatre, a I'll tell you why.
 l Last night I called on young lady
 of my acquaintance who lives in a flat
 and I passed very pleasant evening.
 But when tried to go away I got into | trouble. The parlor in this flat Is at l the front end of hall that, I should | thing, speaking moderately, was 60 feet long. On one side of this long
 hall there Is a solid wall, but on the
 other side there are numerous doors, opening, 1 suppose, into sleeping | rooms. There is one such door directly | opposite the door by which you enter | this flat from the outer hall. It was I by confusing that last bedroom door with the exit door which it faces that
 got lost.
 "There was a time when folks used | to escort their guests to the door and | say good-by or good night to them there, but 1t seems that the present style is to say good night in the par | LOT anu let tue guest llHu HIS way out,
 and that's whad happened to me last night.
 When I struck the parlor end of
 that long hall I thought I could find my way all right. There was the long hall, with the wall on one side and that string of doors on the other. | all just as it was when I came in, 1 and it looked easy. But when I got down to the far end of it I'm blessed l if l could remember which side of it came in at, and instead of taking | the door to my right there, as I should have done, I opened the left-hand door, "Tey there! What's bitin' you? Get out of here,' I heard somebody saying
 l Of course it was the young lady's
 kid brother He had been in the parlor a little while earlier in the evening
 and then disappeared and I knew now that I had broken into his room try ing to find my way out.
 All right youngster,' I says to him as gayly as I could, but I shut his door as quickly as possible and made for the door opposite and got out into the hall and pressed the elevator but ton for an emergency caf1--and I didn't come to fully until I had got out of the house into the open air. There ought to be a plainly lettered exit sign on the inner side of every
 flat houss-exit door,"

CIVIL GOVERNMENT |S ESTABLISHED IN
 TIE CANAL ZONE
Col. Goethals Takes Charge Without any CeremOney, Simply Assuming New
 Title

Panama. April 1.-The Panama canal gore began business today under per nianent form of government
 The isthmian canal commission, which has governed the zone during the con struction of the waterway. was dissolved and civil administration semi-military in character. was established.
 Colonel George W. Goethals. by ap- reintment of the President of the United States. became it's first governor. His Inauguration was remarkable There were no ceremonies, no speeches, no display.
 In his office on the top of Culebra fiii, overlooking the now famous cut of that name Colonel Goethals, chairman end chief engineer of the isthmian ca nal commission, simply began his day 8 work under a new title. governor and chief of the department of operation and maintenance

of curcaracha slide. and locomotives were busy hauling away more of the daily spoil. Work progressed as usual along the whole route of the canal. There were no extra flags fiYing no outward show of any kind that the gov ernment of the zone was underglng any chances. These were changes Tn name merely, far most Of the canal workers were concerned. Ever since Colonel Goethals became the guiding spirit of the work he has been the be nevolent despot' of the isthmus, and ! there are few new facts in the group , of men who have found place in the permanent government.
 The list has been announced as fol- 1 lows
