The details of a triple compact between y Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras to es- ti tablish permanent peaoe in Central America ? have just been made public. Guate- ^ mala and Costa Rica have not yet joined in n it. but they have not officially declined to t1 do so. The treaty will give greater force t( and character to trie Nicaragua Canal project ^ tbroucrh the United States, and indicates G plainly that Uncle Sam will be the arbitrator in future disputes. p The compact in substance is that the three q republics shall hereafter form one political o entity under the name of "Republica Mayor If De Centro America" fthe Greater Republic o of Central America), this name to be in force o! until Guatemala and Costa Rica voluntarily a; accent the present agreement, in which event yi it will be styled "the Republic of Central qi America." f? This treaty does not aff?ct the internal B affairs of the republics. There will be a w Diet to carry out the greater republic's af- tt * -* ?- <f?nntr from each a iKir?. composed ui VUO v*v Legislature and one member from each 01 republic, to serre three years, the ma- si jority vote to rule. In the event of negotia- u? tions with other Governments one of the cl number will be selected to act for the Diet, tb It will also name the diplomatic and con- la sular representatives. The Diet will sit one tb year successively in each of the capitals, the m order of meetinsr to be designated by lot. at Article 6 savs that all questions "in abey- m ance, or which may arise in the future between these republics and any other Nation, shall be discussed bv the Diet according to the date and instructions furnished by the Government interested. T1 Article 7 holds that "in case it be impossible for the Diet to arrange in a friendly manner the question in abeyance, or to have the same submitted to arbitration, it shall notify 01 all the Governments, so that, agreeable to ? the resolution of the majority, it may accept or declare war, according to "circumstances." The most important paragraph in Article 8 says that in the event of an arbitrator being needed the Diet shall choose him from among the residents of the American republics. which, of course, means the United States. MOON IN tuurot. An Astronomical Event Which Will Not Occnr Again Until 1913. A total eclipse of the moon brought out thousands of sightseers In many parts of the country. The accompanying diagram shows ) the moon at the middleof the eclipse, when It was entirely within the earth's shadow. The eclipse was described by the almanacs / as "a total eclipse of the moon, visible in \ North and South America, Western Europe and Africa." Its official time at New York * was as follows: 9.48 p. m., moon entered penumbra; 11 p. m., entered earth's shadow; 12 a. m., total obscuration began; 1.48 a. m., began to emerge; 2.54 a. m., emerged from earth's shadow. The eclipse had been heralded in New York by the newspapers, and many citizens as- at dt | ' ^ ^ ^ l cended to the housetops to view it. The m Brooiilyn Bridge afforded an unobstructed 4 view and was sought by many sky gazers. The eclipse was well under way when the theatres turned out their crowds, and for a nc time upper Broadway and adjoining streets bwere crowded with observers. At two or three points about the city enterprising per- ca sons set up telescopes, and did a good busi- of ness at five cents a peep. st Astronomers all over the country had their es glasses turned on the moon, and from their bl observations and photographs they took they n< hope to learn some now and interesting fa^ts th about the nearest of our neighbors in tho w sky. ol The eclipse will return on September 15, St 1918. Xot uatil that time will the sun, earth \9 and moon be In exactly the same relative M positions. B; W CHAMPION OF CHESS.

In describing some of the scenes whloh he saw on a recent visit to the Washington almshouse, a correspondent of a dally paper says that one of the first men he met there ? had been at one time Attorney-General of J: Virginia. In his office a number of now dls? tinguished lawyers were students, and they owe much to his advice. His father had' * been A.ttorney-Oenpral of the United States. !:' and left his son wealth. But he drank, and ,, sacrificed everything to his love of intoxl '* eating liquor. ir Another pauper was an ex-Judge of the y'.'i a Supremo Court of California, and had been c. esteemed one of the most eloquent men of in his time. He came to Washington to get an office, was disappointed, took to drink, and e drank himself oat of pocket, mind, and friends, and into the poorhouse. In his company was a once wealthy newspaper editor and proprietor of New York, a ce man of great political influence. This mau has been for three years in the poorhouse. a Sometimes his friends take him out, but he ' k, drinks so much that he lies about the street and is returned by the police. i>s A man who was Stephen A. Douglas's tain timate friend, and who used to speak from r. the same platform with him, is a Washing>n ton pauper. When fortune smiled UDon Q. him he used liquor as a relish, and when ner of smiles turned to frowns he took it as an anti2e tode for sorrow. It brought him temporary relief, but permanent ruin. ? t Coming into the almshouse, as the corre11 apondent left it, was an old, white haired " man, who was at one time one of the lead? lnr? man /\f fha Vtahiofin hftf Ha WM thft man who backed Zacharlah Chandler, and made him, politically Speaking, what he was, 3- knd this man, of great legal ability and; ie politioal influence sufficient to make andunof make men, and of much wealth, is now aj pauper, why? Because he drank alcoholto w liquor. How foolish is any one, high or low, d, who will take this poison and hope to esid cape its effects! . i THE QUESTION OF PEBSOSAL BIGHTS. m "Whenever laws restraining the liquor traffic are enacted and enforced, the cry is usujn ally raised in certain circles that all such lie legislation is an Infringement upon personal )y rights and liberty. But drunkenness, says a writer on this phase of the question, Is & great public wrong, involving life, health,' prosperity, peace, property, morals, and the i general welfare. What Is its corrective? The police power, recognized by the Supreme' R Court of the United States. 8aid Justice ot McLean: "The acknowledged police power of a State extends often to the destruction o$ r- property. A nuisance may be abated, everyol thing prejudicial to the health and morals of ' a city may be removed." [ 1(j Said Chief Justice Taney: "If a State It deems the retail traffic in ardent spirits in-' jurious to its citizens and calculated to pro-1 . duce idleness, vice or deoauchery, I see noth31 lng In the Constitution of the United 8tates r" to prevent it from regulating or restraining Ln the traffic, or prohibiting it altogether." i Nor does the fourteenth amendment of the m Constitution of the United States Impair the a- nnHr>? nnwsr of the State. So sav3 Justice fre'ld'*" ----- - y q. And this power Is incapable of limitation,; j. says Justice Miller. "Upon it." he says/ as ''depends the security of social order, the ?t. life and health of the citizen, the comfort of ig existence in a thickly populated community, ie the enjoyment of private social life, and the beneficial use of property."

It was a tradition that Swartz h, could drink two auart3 of the reddest liquor, at one time, and the question arose as to whether he could swallow the quart. Joe shrugged his shoulders contemptuously.! Without ceremony he ordered the fler^ ig liquid, uown nis inroat courseu iuo siuu and his eyes sparkled. Finally the last drop was down and Joe cast a triumphant glance at his companion?. Then he sang a song and danced a jig. His brain had been ir* turned, and he said his nerves tingled as Q" though a thousand needles were pricking him. Faster went his feet until he suddenly, threw his arms to the air and grew deathly; pale. He groaned, dropped to the floor, and e, the merry shouts of his comrades died into at exclamations of alarm.
