Colombian Minister Protests
Proposed Terms Of Settle
ment With His Country.
ANTICIPATES REJECTION
OF THE AMENDED PACT
Declares Suggested Indemnity in
Panama Case Is Insuficient-Is-
sues Formal Statement.

Unconcealed disappointment is shown
by Julio Betancourt, Colombian min
lister. over the action of the Senate for
eign relations committee in amending
the Colombian treaty so as to reduce
the indemnity the United States would
pay Colombia from $4,000, 900 to $15.-
100000, and to make the expressions
of regret for the partition of Panama
mutual to both countries.
The minister in formal statement ex-
pressed strong disapproval of the pro-
posed modification Of the treaty, and
predicted that the pact, already accept
ed and ratified by his country, would
be rejected in its amended form.
Senior Betancourt's, Statement.
Il cannot conceive the reason" said
Senior Betancourt. why 1t is sought to
make the expression of regret mutual.
1t is as though a weak man who has been
hit over the head with big stick by
a strong man should be asked at the
time of reconciliation to apologize for
having been assaulted. 1t is quite nat
ural that Colombia profoundly regrets
the loss of the Isthmus of Panama. An
expression of regret by her in the
treaty of April s, 1914, would have
been an irony without precedent in the
annals of diplomacy.
'As far as the indemnity is concern
ed the $25,000.0O0 offered in the treaty
do not cover even the tenth part Of
the damage done to Colombia. taking
into account only the actual value OF
the isthmus, the value of the Panama
railroad, which belongs to Colombia:
the annuity from the canal, etc.

REAL LIFE ROMANCE
WHEN WIFE MOTORS

A plucky Palm Beach woman, ac-
COMMANDED by her little daughter, driv'

Jacksonville. three hundred miles, in
order to be with her husband who was
in hospital was the setting for a
romance in real life last Sunday. Elk
nlainjng how and why she did it, the
Palm Beach Post says:
"That a woman can run an auto
and can make a certain distance II sne
;e determined to get there-has been
proyen by the feat that Mrs. X. C.
Baker performed on Sunday. Al
though far from we'll when she learned
tbatber husbands condition following
his oneration at a Jacksonville hospi
tal was serious she determined 70
make the run to that point by auto
mobile.
Oft was a distance of three hundred
m,les-and she had a Ford-and she
had not driven one of the machines
sufficient distance so that she was wei
fenough acquainted with Mr.. Ford te
call him Henry-and she had a little
daughter who wished decidedly to see
"Rob"-and all of these things were

in the morning she made start-ac
companied by little Julia, and D!
George Baker, Jr.
at was midnight when she reached
her husband-and she was alfred wo
man but she had done what few mel
have done on this same run. And, o
course she felt the citation that an
woman would feel who had made tina

will appreciate the record better tna'
tnnse who have been running for rec
ords upon special track.
Mrs. Baker reports that her nus
hand is much better at the time OF VII

The dearest word in the English
language, next to that of mother. is
home.
Tue man or woman who, be-
cause OF circumstances, has been
forced out into the world there al
ways come dark moments when mem
cries drift back, caressingly, and
cilng about the home of childhood.
Such reflections are not always re-
oolent with sweetness Some of the
homes of childhood are not ALWAYS
happy homes, but when the wearied
heart at last finds happiness when
the soul rests in peace at home the
very name becomes sacred.
There is nothing so filled with con-
tent as the home where happiness
presides. 1t may be a simple one.
but kiss will some times make a
humble meal satisfying and sustain
ing; it will make meager repast a
banquet.
When man and woman live con-
/ tentedly together the old theory of
bread and cheese kisses is no longer
myth.
/ When God breathed life into the
lungs of Adam, and he awoke in
Eden to find Eve by his side, even IN
that earliest day of the worlds his
tory to Adam paradise was home.
To the good among the descend
ants home is paradise. The first
sure symptoms Of mind in health
is rest of heart and the pleasures
that can be found only at home.
When once we awaken to the real
benefits that home affords becomes
convinced that our home joys are the
most comforting that the earth eX-
tends. The JOY Of parents is in their
children, the hottest joy of human
ity. 1t makes the lives of men and
women pure and good, it lifts the
parents, in the eyes of their chill
dren up to heaven
When home is ruled according tC
Gods word, declares Spurgeon, an
gels might be asked to stay with us
and they would not find themselves
out of their element.
To the young man and woman whG
are beginning the better part o.
their life as husband and wife, home
becomes, and should always remain
a resort of joy, of peace and plenty
where supporting and supported
friends and relatives can mingle al
nature intended.
The strength of a nation is to b.
found in intelligent, well ordered

(Wrangell sentinel.)


 A party of men of more than usual interest were in Wrangell the first of the week. They were Dou- gal Mcdonald, Jack Moran, Lloyd Simpson and Thomas, Hankins, all of Telegraph, and bound to join the British forces at the front. The boys were given big fare well reception at Telegraph on the eve. of their departure and have many beautiful and useful tokens from their friends there. During their stay in Wrangell purse was subscribed and small cub bear was purchased and presented to the boys who are taking it to the front as a mascot for their company.
 Mr. Mcdonald was a sergeant in the British forces during the Boar War, and as one of the odities of life, during his stay here met Capt. Jungmarker, Captain in the Boar forces, and on comparing notes it was found that Sergeant McDon- aid was among the forces which captured the remainder of the com pany of Capt. Jungmarker, only nine men.
 The boys are all husky able sol diers and is the kind of men that England needs. We wish you God speed boys.

 OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
Continued from yesterday.)

Continued from yesterday.) It is customary to lay great
 stress on economic conditions ill
 Kansas, and special attention is di-
 rected to the alleged scarcity of
 paupers in that State, the state 1 rlent being current that in thirty.
 eight counties the poorhouses are
 empty. Bulletin No. 120, issued by the Census Bureau, shows the num-
 her of paupers in almshouses in 1910. The lowest rate of pauper-
 ism was in Oklahoma, the rate be- ing 2.90 per hundred thousand. and
 inc highest rate was in New Hamp- shire. being 23O.46 per hundred thousand. The rate for New York
 was 132; for Maine, 12770; for
 Illinois, 96.28; for Nebraska, 4G.30, and for Kansas, 43.49. Fourteen
 States have lower pauper rate than has Kansas.
 Bulletin No. 119, issued by the
 United States Census Bureau, fur Iiishes statistics with respect to mental diseases, as indicated by the number of insane in hospitals The lowest rate per hundred thousand was in Oklahoma, 67.27; and the highest rate was in Massachusetts. 345.26. Twenty-four States of the Union had lower rate of insane than had Kansas.
 As regards the number of in sane with alcoholic psychosis ad- mitted to hospitals in 1910, we find that Kansas can not come up with the record of nineteen other States Of these nineteen license prevails in fourteen. Kansas had rate of Al per 100000 population. Her neighbor, Nebraska, had rate of but IT. Maine, though she has long tried prohibitory legislation. had a rank just below Kansas, her rate being 4.44. Among the license States that surpassed Kansas were: Pennsylvania, 4; Indiana, 2.7; vir- ginia, 3.30; Florida, 3.5; Alabama. 4; Texas, IA, and Arkansas, 0.31- Bulletin 120 shows paupers in aims houses on January 1, 1910; Kansas. 735; Nebraska, 551
 The facts about church member ship are contained in United States Census Bulletin No. 103, and the percentage of church membership in the total population is given for the year 1906, twenty-six years af- ter Kansas become a prohibition State. According to this tabulation. which is the latest obtainable, the lowest percentage of church mer,- bership was in Oklahoma. including Indian Territory, the rate being 1s.2 The rate in New York was 43.7; in Pennsylvania, 43; in Illinois, 38.3; in Nebraska, 32.4; in Maine. 29.8, and in Kansas, 28.4. Forty three States had a larger percent age of church membership than had Kansas. Since this tabulation was made up two of the four States that had lower rate of church membership than had Kansas, name ly Oklahoma end West Virginia. have joined the ranks of the pro- hibition States. Of the six States, therefore, having the lowest rate of church membership in the United States. four are prohibition States.

SEWARD WANTS HOSPITAL.


 Efforts are being made by local physicians and others to secure a marine hospital for Seward now that it has been made a port of entry, says the Seward Post.
 The plan to establish marine hospital here is endorsed by both the Alaska Steamship company and the Pacific Alaska Navigation con- pany.
 The nearest marine hospital has been located at Valdez, but the phy- sician holding the marine surgeon appointment there died over year ago and nothing was done by the government to continue the service.
