Count Says Three Men
Built Panama Canal

Paris, July Count Charles De
Lesseps, the son of Ferdinand De
Lesseps, who began the work of
building the Panama canal in 1881,
issued the following statement in a
Paris morning paper:
Il view the approaching %inaugur-
alton of the Panama canal with a feel
ing of genuine sorrow, and what / say
ought not to wound the Americans
who have worked wonders. The
French could have finished the work;
there were no obstacles which they
could not have overcome, and nothing
to justify the catastrophe which over
whelmed us.
Three men made the canal, and
merit universal gratitude-my father,
Engineer Philippe Bunau-Varilla and
Colonel Cocktails"
Count De Lesseps tells OF the terri
BILE ordeal through which he passed
when he went to the prison and found
his father dying, broken and distressed
by the thought that the family honor
had been furnished. He was able then
to tell him that in spite of appea
ances his honor was saved, though all
was lost Out that.

PAINS AROUND THE HEART

When the action of the stomach Is
weakened by debility or defective
nerve force the food is retained until
it ferments. Gas forms and presses
on the other organs, particularly the
heart, the pains in that region often
causing a fear of heart trouble. Or
ganic heart disease rarely causes pain
around the heart and when this symp-
tom is noted you should try toning
up your digestion before giving wy
to needless alarm.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a to-
that directly affects the organs of d.
gestion. They supply to the stomach
the rich, red blood without which nor
NAL digestion is impossible. They
awaken into activity the gastric glands
and strengthen the muscles of the
stomach and give the nerve force nee
essary to proper digestion and asslmi-
lation. With thin blood and weak
nerves 1t Is impossible to avoid stom-
ach trouble. Build up the blood and
strengthen the nerves and note the in
creased appetite, the comfortable feel
ing after eating and the improvement
in health and vigor.
Two books Building Up the
Blood" and What to Eat and How to
Eat" will be sent free on request by

nectady, N. Y. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are for sale in every drug store.

stituted by Congress

According to rumors which were fly

in Market Square and among hench-
men of the Mccormick machine to-
day, the appointments of the faithful
to all of the places in the Ninth In
ternal Revenue District now held by
Republicans are to be worked out

structed with Scranton as it's head

economy.
If the Senate agrees to the bill pro-
viding for the re-establishment of the
district it will mean a new lot of APP
pointments, and Kirkendall may be

PRETTY SALESG|RLS
BAKE PICNIC CAKES
Scores of En- in Department Store
Window Ready For Big
Picnic

Cakes of nearly every imaginable
description-scores of 'em-crowd one
window of. Bowman's department
store to-day and there is a baldheaded
anable man outside who explains hat
there is going to be a big time at the
picnic tomorrow and passes out vel
low handbills telling all about it, for
the publicity department has been on
the job-witness this, for instance.
Ihe cakes are very pretty and at
tract a large crowd. 1t is a safe bet
that If the bakers of these cakes. the
pretty and intelligent force at Bow
mans would each stand in the win
dow behind the AXE hat there would
be a still larger crowd. Also If sam
pies of these cakes were SEN out to
some lonely spots west of the Missis-
sippt where there are more unmarried
males than in any other part of the
country, why, there might be a large
lot of weddings in the next year But
the cakes will be cut up at the picnic
tomorrow and judges will decide on
their merits and award prizes, which
cover all details but e~xteriorially and
internally speaking, which are as fol-
lows:
First prize-Most novel cake-gol
bracelet or lavalliere; second-sponge
or angel food-blue and white ham,
mock; third prize-devil's food,
chocolate, ice cream cake-white
waist; fourth prize-pound cake, lady
cake, cup cake-piece china; fifth
prize-cocoanut cake, jelly cake, any
layer cake not above-black silk hose;
sixth prize-small cakes, cookies, sand
tarts-India umbrella. seventh prize
ginger bread-white hat, eighth prize
any other cakes-hose. There is
plenty of competition for the most
novel cake-one made of heaped up
baskets, another in fish shape, others
with wonderful decorations.
Gentlemen, these cakes were all
made by the saleswomen in Bowman's
store and they will make them for
you for life If you are good looking
and nave a steady job.

NOIlIlIlutt TOD ElESt dStI
This means that the work of hauling
the eXcavated earth should be well
under way before August /.
The earth will be given to the city
by the Sucker Brothers Construction
Company. the subway contractors. the
latter agreeing to pay the city a fair
price for taking away the dirt, it is
understood.
The hauling problem is what is fac
ing the park superintendent now and
with the idea of obtaining the lowest
rates possible he has advertised for the
bids. The bidders will submit pro-
posals to haul the earth after it is
loaded at the subways.
Rush Other Work
In the meantime other improve
ments are moving steadily ahead. On
the Front street subway the necessary
excavation under the Cumberland Val
ley tracks that could be handled by
the steam shovel have bee practically
completed and Sucker Brothers are
considering the remoVal of that shovel
to assist the one now on duty scoop
ing out the earth for the river wall
above Calder street.
While the subway work proper is
being pushed as consistently as pos
sible the driving of the TUNE for the
big concrete sewer hat is being built
in connection with these improvements
south of Mulberry street is going
steadily ahead night and day. Most
any time of the night can be heard
the subdued putting of the hosting en-
CINE lifting the tons of dirt and rock
from way down beneath the earth's
surface.
The workable" style of weather is
being made much of by the contractors
on the Paxton creek job and on the
river dam. Just 10Y RAPIDLY this work
is being pushed is indicated by the
fact that the summers first estimate
on work done thus far totals ~$5,079.72.
The warrant for thai sum was paid
to-day to Contractor Frank N. Skene.
Letters to Property Owners
In connection with the proposed set
tlement of the Front street I'LL" ques-
ton Commissioner Taylor to-day sent
out letters to the owners of properties
abutting on Front street north of
"Hardscrabble" asking what dispo-
sition, if any, they mean to make rela-
tive to turning yer their park land
frontages to. the city.
Abou ter property owners north of
Calder street nave not turned oVer
their frontages to date, representing a
total frontage of about 1,544 feet. The
lots run from frontages of Pa feet to
So. So far as Is known, practically
all of these Front street residents are
willing to turn W. their properties.
Thus far they have held out. 1t is
understood. because they preferred to
retain control of the land until 1t was
definitely known what could be done
by the city in the way of improvement.

forty-eight States to be launched at
the sessions of the seventh annual con-
vention of the National Association OF
Real Estate Exchanges of America IN
Pittsburgh.
To effect this reform, the conven-
ton will consider plans to secure the
cooperation of the Legislatures of the
States, and have them act uniformly
on the matter. The effect of such a
change may be judged from the fact
that fully so per cent. of all the prop
erty in the country is m~ortgaged.
The movement for revision of mort
gage conditions is looked upon by
President Simpson and Secretary Clark
as the most important business which
is to come before the convention. In
outlining other issues which will be
discussed and acted upon, MI. Clark
spoke of proposed action to secure
equitable and uniform laws for the
government of real estate TRANSACTIONS
throughout the country, simplited
methods of transfer, and simplitied
methods of registration.

Plunges Through Stack
but Isn't Hurt Much

How it happened that Osmonc
Bleach. after plunging down a 35-foot
smokestack and striking headfrst on
the inside OF a boiler, was able to call
for help and escaped with slight
scratches of the head and leg cannot be
explained. Bleach, who ives at 1901
North Third street, was treated at the
Harrisburg Hospital yesterday after
noon after the accident at the plant of
the Lalance-Grosjean Manufacturing
Company. Doctors, after treating two
slight decorations of the scalp and one
of the leg, sent him home and advised
him to go to bed.
Bleach was repairing a smokestack.
He was leaning down the inside at the
top when his stay-belt broke and he
dropped thirty-five feet and lit in the
empty boiler. He was stunned by the
fall, but got up covered with DOT and
ashes and called for help.
