It
Yet Agsented*?Uncle Sam to Ce Arbl- n
trator in Disputes. ?
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;

SIX MEN HELD RESPONSIBLE.
Blame Placed for the New York Citj
Building Dlaaster.
The Inquest into the cause of the collapse,
in New York City, of the Ireland building,
through which, on August 8, fifteen men lost
their lives, was brought to a conclusion. The
jury, after a consultation, lasting more than
four hours, returned a verdict fixing the
blame on six of the men connected with the
erection of the building and exonerating
Joseph Guider, the plasterer, and Jefferds
E. Si Hock.
The jury found that the building was put
up with a criminal disregard for human
life. They charged that the responsibility
for the collapse rests upon the architect,
Behrens: the builder, Parker; his master
mason, Murray; his general superintendent,
Walker: the assistant to Eehrens, Youdalc,
and the Building Inspector, Buckley.

WEISKT'S FELL WOHK.
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?

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,

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." I

THE BESITLT OF A 301X0.
e* A crowd of men recently went Into a saloon
a* at Shamokln, Penn., with Joseph Swartz, to
see him drink a quart of whisky for a wager,
10 and they emerged In a little while bearing
he his corpse. 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. They rushed to hist
re side, and he seemed in awful agony, but unr
able to speak. He became senseless in a fetf
ff, minutes, and then died.?Christian Quiver,
