I'olnts on Panama. Panama has an area of 31,571 square miles?nearly the size of the State of Maine. Its population is 285,000, almost the same as that of the District of Columbia. Its commerce, including both imports and exports, amounts to about $3,000,000 a year. This is about $11 for each inhabitant. The rest of Colombia has a foreign trade of less than $1 a head. Colon and Panama, its principal ports, have mixed populations of 3000 and 25,000 respectively. The United States leads all nations in the amount of its trade with Panama. A weekly steamer connects Panama with San Francisco. Cable lines connect both Colon and Panama with the United States. Between Panama and Colon two passenger trains run daily; distance fortyseyen miles, time three hours. Silver is standard Panama money. Name* For the LefNHanded. In London the term for a left-hand ea person is &ucK-uuLiueu, iue huiu being an equivalent to awkward; in Lancashire it is k-pawed; in Yorkshire, gallock, or gawk-handed, an expression dating back to at least the seventeenth century. In Derbyshire are used the terms keg-handed, corkhanded or corky-handed, while in the Teesdale district cuddy-handed is common, and in Nottingham cochyhanded. In Dorset it is scrame-handed, and in Devonshire coochy-handed. 'in Scotland we find gawk-handed and in the west cawry-handed. In Ireland a left-handed man is called a kithogue. Not many years ago Mr. Tim Healy, used this work in a speech at East1 Wicklow, in which he said that Mr. O'Kelly could fight with his left hand, and had already given his opponent some "kithogues" that would spoil his political beauty during the contest.?

MAY STOP SUCH DISORDER Louisiana's Supreme Court Increases Damages From 9500 to #5000 in Eacli Case?Thirty Citizens of Dodson InTolved ? Their Croelty Expensive ? Judge's Bitter Denunciation. New Orleans, La.?The Louisiana Supreme Court gave damages for $5000 each to Peter Warner, Reuben Brown " * ? ? A. AU and Edward Warner against mmj citizens of Dodson, Winn parish, who had whitecapped them. The jury in the District Court gave each of the vie tims $500. The Supreme Court increased the amount of damages ana expressed in emphatic language its opinion of whitecapping and similar acts of violence. Several business houses were burned recently in Dodson and there were threats that the entire town would be destroyed. Peter Warner, Rube Brown and Edward Warner were suspected of being implicated in the fires. A committee decided to punish the men. It was divided into three branches, each of which was authorized to punish one of the three suspects. They were taken to a lonely place in the woods beaten, abused and maltreated and hanged until unconscious, moniessions were extorted from them and they were then ordered to leave the town. What particularly incensed the Supreme Court was the fact that the Grand Jury of Winn parish was in session at-the time these outrages were committed and was engaged in investigating the Dodson fire. The whitecappers not only refused to await its action. but prevented witnesses who were summoned by the Grand Jury from going before the body, taking the law entirely into their own hands. "This," says the Supreme Court in its decision, "is not only illegal, but it reduced the community of which they professed to be the representatives to the level of a lawless and ignorant horde of savages. While, therefore, their professions are those of law-abiding citizens, their conduct was that of Anarchists, recognizing no governing power save unbridled passion. - * J ? "Torture is no longer permuieu. iu civilized countries, even as a punishment for crime, and still less can it be tolerated upon the bare suspicion that a crime has been committed, or to extort a confession thereof or an accusation against others." The Grand Jury, after investigating the case, refused to find indictments against the prisoners. The decision will break up whitecapping in Louisiana. It has prevailed only to a limited extent in the western part of Louisiana, where there are a number of lumber camps and some disorder. The Governor on several occasions bns be?u called on to interfere, but the damages assessed by the Supreme Court against the whitecaps will, it is thought, have even a more beneficial effect. COLLINS SWEEPS BOSTON. Present Mayor Re-elected by Largest Majority in City's History.

TO SAVE GREAT SALT LAKE. utan umciai3 xaitc 01 j-ieiung *juethird Go and Raising Level of Rest. Salt Lake, Utah.?At a conference attended by Governor Wells and other State officials, plans were formulated for saving Great Salt Lake, which is gradually disappearing. The plan is to utilize the Lucin cutoff, built by the Union Pacific, as a dam to separate the upoer part of the lake from the lower and let the upper part go back to the desert. The area of the entire lake if 21,000 square, miles; one-third can be cut off by this plan. By this means the remaining two-thirds can be saved. Experts are of the opinion that with the upper third cut off the level oi the balance could be raised six feet if necessary by the saving in evaporation. INNOCENT MAN PARDONED.

Washington. D. C.?The bil! making effective the Cuban reciprocity treaty was passed in the Senate by a vote of fifty-seven to eighteen, seven Democrats voting with the majority and one Republican with the minority. There now remains only ceremonial acts to be taken before the new tariff law shall go into effect. Under the resolution, the President, when he shall receive evidence that the Republic of Cuba has given effect to the treaty by declaring the lower rates of Hntv nn rmr <ronds entering the island republic, will issue a proclamation declaring the fact of Cuba's compliance, and thereupon, by operation of law. on the tenth day thereafter the new rates of duty are to go into effect. The last Lours in the Senate preceding the final v.ote were occupied in a spirited debate between Senator Bailey on the minority side and Senator Spooner on the majority, mainly on the constitutionality of the procedure, under which the treaty came into existence. Senator Spooner urged with great force that there was no violation of the coustitutior.al powers of the House in the matter of originating bills of revenue when the President and the Senate negotiated a tariff treaty, provided the vitality of the treaty depended on the approval of Congress. He pointed to the presence in the resolution of an explicit clause saving to the House its prerogatives as the body originating revenue legislation. Senator Bailey, in the course of his argument, uttered a defiance to the majority, declaring that hereafter the Democratic Senators would stand together with an unbroken front. When the vote was taken Senators Gorman, Cockrell, Clay. Blackburn, McCreary, Overman and Simmons voted in the affirmative with the Republicans, and Senator Bard left his Republican colleagues and voted in the negative with the democrats. The bill passed carries into execution the treaty between the United States and Cuba which provides for a reduction of twenty per cent, from the rates of duty under the Dingley law on sugar and all Cuban articles imported into the United States, and a varying reduction. of from twenty to forty per cent, from the established Cuban duty on articles imported into Cuba from the United States.
