Why Colombia Can Never Regals Control of tho Isthmus. A new nation has boon born into this over-changing and unstable world, and the United States has recognised its right to exist. Hence forth there will be a RepubMo of Panama. The bloodless revolution resulting in this uew American re public lasted less than u week. It is olairaed that this'; is the practical solution of the isthmian canal diffi culty, and, therefore, tho event is so momentous and dramatic that it provokes both hearty approval and violent opposition. A rising of Panama was threat ened at the time tho oanal treaty was defeated at Bogota. It seemB that a day for the insurrection was actually named, and the rebellion began at the appointed time. The government officials at the isthmus appear to have been taken by sur prise at the rising, for they were captured without offering any resist anoe.'i. The great German statesman, Bismarck, used to say quite fre quently that the enemy who named a day for his attack was not very dangerous. But this does not seem to bo truo in the affairs of Panama, and evidently it did not achieve its independence with its own hand. Panama was tho most impoverished State in the Republic of Colombia. She had no reassuring prospects ex cept in the construction of the great ship canal through her territory. It would mean employment, business, a much larger volume of circulation in money, close contaot with the outer world, and infinitely better sanitary conditions. Her importance would grow apace and her population in crease in like ratio. Tho mainten ance of law and order would be guaranteed by the strongest power on the continent,'and the traffic of every great nation would come to her doors. She was led to expeot these results, and set her heart upon them. But the government to which she gave allegiance and from which she had tie right to expect all possi ble aid, repudiated the treaty. With her ono great hope imper iled, Panama declared for independ ence with an intent to realize upon the expectations held out by her own country and killed at tho very point of realization. A canal from ocean to ocean will make of P.'.nama one of the most important places of tho world. Rear Admirnl J. G. Walker has succeeded in arranging at once a new canal concession. The fact that Colombia may not recognize Panama's independence will scarcely affect the present con dition. Many years passed before Spain recognized the independence of Mexico, Peru, Bolivia and the rest of tho countries which broke 1 away from her in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Mexico had not formally recognized tho Repub lic of Texas at the time of her an nexation to the United States, al though nine years had passed since San Jacinto. The failure of Colom bia to give her endorsement to the new republic will not have the slightest effect on the status of that government. The United States has given full recognition to it. The othor countries, on tho American continent as well as in Europe, will follow the example, and some have alrondy. For two reasons Colombia can never regain control of Panama. Colombia lacks the military and naval power to conquer the isthmus, even if the United States kept its hands off. Nor has it any moans of mobilizing or of maintaining any considerable number of troops in the field, if it had them. There are no roads over which its mon can march over tho long distances which sepa rate them from Panama. And they have no navy to transport them from ports on the coast. They are simply powerless to do anything to attack the impregnable strategic position of Panama, even if the Panamans wore left to their own resources. The United States is bound by its treaty of 1840 to protect the isthmian rail way from interruption by any party, and it will perform its duty to the extent of its power. This would prevent Colombia from invading Panama, oven if it were strong enough otherwise to ovorcomo the physical barriers on tho land sido or had a navy poworful enough to con voy troops and mako a landing on either coast at the isthmus. There is not the faintest chance that the old regimo will over be restored in Panama. Colombian authority is as dead on the isthmus as Spain's is in Cuba and Porto Rico. Tho change of authority was ono of the quickest and ono of the most peaceful over made anywhere in tho world. It will compare very favorably in this re spect with the transformation which converted Dom Pedro's Brazilian kingdom into a ropublio in 1880 and with that which upsot tho throne in Hawaii and put a republic, in its place.-Illustrated Home Journal.

"Hold oo !" exclaimed the attor uey for the defense. "You needn't | answer that. I objeot to the quos tiop, your honor." "State your objections," ?aid the judge. The lawyer rose. "We objeot, if the court please, on the ground that it is immaterial, irrelevant, entirely aside from the point at issue, foreign to the matter in hand, and has nothing to do with this case. We objeot, your honor, ! because it has no possible bearing on tbiB aotiou. What difference oan ! it make, one way ortho other? It is a point that was not brought out in the direot examination. Aside from al 1 this, your honor, we objeot for the reasou that the questiou is not pertinent, li is wholly extraneous." Here he sat down aud the other attorney rose. "We insist, your honor," he said, "that the question is entirely rele vant. It is a part of the rea gestae in this oase. We want to know, your honor, whether this man thinks be owes any duty to the public, or whether he owes no duty to anybody but himself and the stockholders of the road. We have a right to es tablish the faot if he bolds the one opinion, aud we have a right to es tablish tho faot if he holds tho con trary opinion." "You may answer the question," said tho court. "Now, then, sir, I will ask you again : Do you run your road to please yourselves or to please the publio ?" "We don't run the road at all, sir," replied the witness, wearily. "We run the cars.'

If there was any way to get at the truth, we would venturo the asser tion that there is more than $250,000 of cash distributed among private rural homes in York county. This money, for the most part is kept between mattresses, under heart listones, in broken jars, in trunks and chests and in various other places of concealment, in amounts ranging from a thousand or so dollars down. When these people are asked why they do not put their money in banks, they are apt to offer somo kind of excuse to the effect that they havo known banks to fail, and otherwise show laok of confidence in tho existing order of things and in themselves. It is true that banks fail ; but the porcentage of those that fail is very small compared with those that do not, and wo will venture that where ono dollar has been lost by a deposi tor in this country, on account of the failure of a bank, a hundred dollars has been lost from old jars, from be tween mattresses and from under hearthstones at the hands of thieves. Largo amounts of money kept at homo in places of insecure conceal ment are standing invitations to the cupidity of burglars and assassins, and are frequently a source of more or less danger to the persons of their owners. ? No isolated farmer or business man in this section should keep more than fifty or a hundred dollars about him at a time. Ho should keep the balance, if he has moro, in a bank ; or, if he would make hinself doubly safe let him scatter it about in two or ilnce banks. Such a thing as all tho banks of a given neighborhood failing at one timo has never been beard of-not io this part of tho country. Besides the considerations sug gested, the man who deposits money tn banks linds another important ad vantage. The banker holps him to keep his cash book, and his ohecks furnish a convenient and indisputa ble record of every cash transaction. No man unacquainted with this con venience can fully appreciate its value until he has given it a trial. We are not offering those sug gestions for the benefit of tho banks ; but for the benefit of individual pos sessors of money and for tho benefit of the community at large.-York ville Enquirer.

Norri* >???e??eeeeee?eei IT often happens that ? friend and sn enemy wear the same face. It was a friend who ad vised me to go to that boarding house for ladies in the Old Ht? Ino road st Brighton. Later I came seri ously to question the sincerity of her friendship, if not to doubt lt alto gether. Hesitatingly I stopped in front of the portico-a portico with four pillars and steps recently scrubbed to so exagger ated a whiteness that they should have warned me. They did not. I walked on up. A boarding house for ladles! The enormity of it never once struck me until I gazed upon those two long tables filled with old blue china and flowers and surrounded by ladles - mid dle aged ladies, ladies pest middle age and hullos old-old-old as the china, If not older-and so wrinkled that I hardly dared look at them for fear they would break. And not a mani Fortunately I found a kindred soul who had drifted there accidentally, as I had done. She flashed dark eyes at me from across the table. Her name was Jane. When tea was over, I arose, passed a sideboard upon which some rare bits of Wedgwood almost compensated for the weakness of the tea, und met her at the door. We went up to my eyrie together. I asked her lu. We stood at the dressing table reading the no tices to guests. "Please wipe your feet on the mat," came flrst. "No gentlemen allowed," came next. "No guest must stay out later than 10 o'clock. If it ls absolutely necessary that she should stay out, notice must bo given to the principal." "Who ls this principal?" I demanded to know. "Is she the young woman with blue eyes that match the china who sits ot the bead of the table?" Jane shook her head. "There is probably no such person. She ls a scarecrow, a bugbear. Here, what's this? 'Butter must not be eaten with meat or marmalade or cheese.' Then what in the name of goodness is lt to be eaten with?" "By Itself perhaps, or not at all." I walked away from the rules to the window. "I want to go home," I said. "Tl place stifles me." Jane had followed me. She leaned out. "There ia a splendid view of tho sea from here," sho exclaimed-"a birds eye view I And look at tho green in front I By and by a band will begin to piny. They illuminate the park and play there till IO o'clock." "I suppose the principal won't let them piny any later." "I suppose not Shall we go out on the sea front?" Wo went. It swarmed with people coming and going in a steady stream. WH STOOD AT TUB DRRSSTNO TABILK HEAD ING NOTICKH TO OUB8TS. Wo walked on and on to the west pier, where we sat in a small circular tem ple fitted up with benches and looked out nt tho nunnet. I turned and looked at Jane. There wero golden lights In her dark eyes soft, mollow lights. "I wns thinking of him," she said, "and how far he ls away." "How far?" .Tn Australia." She paused to let the distance sink into my mind. "It's a long, long way," she sighed, "and he ha? been gone for three years -three long years. I promised to walt for him a year, and he has been gone three." "It la a ,: rod while to walt," I mused, "particularly In tho days of your youth. They pass quickly, those good days, and they never come again." "I know. And you get old walting. When my brother came home from tho Transvaal last summer, be took me down and dusted mc. I bad been on the shelf so long, bc said." "I didn't menn that," I hastened to affirm. "You are young, very young. I didn't mean that." "I nm twenty-eight," she told me, with a straightforward frankness which was convincing. "That ls not so very young." T thought you wore twenty-one or twenty-two," I said; "not more." She searched In her pocketbook for a shilling, which she tendered me. pushed lt gently but (irmly aside. "No extra charge," I assured her. "Three years," I ruminated. "And sll the time you have kept him In your heart? There has been no other?" "I love him," she answered simply. "And he? How many sweethearts do you suppose bo has had?" What a careless question!

"Not once." I arose. "Shall we go on toward the boarding house for ladles?" I nsked. As we walked through tho crowd I said, "Don't think of lt agulu." "It Isn't that I, too, haven't bad at tention." she said presently, apparent ly apropos of nothing. "I have all along. But I have not cared for any of them; not In the least. There ls a young man who wants to come after me Saturday and wheel back to Lon dou with me. He Is very fond of mo." "Let him come, then," I advised. The sea had turned to a delicate pur ple.

"It ls Just QB wcR to have two strings to your bow," said I. A group of small boys leaped into the sen. A lifeboat veered around to ward them watchfully. Climbing Into the stern, they dived gleefully Into the sea. "Boys have the best of it," she de clared, "from the time thoy are little children." After a long while, "They don't have to walt." Once more we rose and walked through tho crowd, which had in creased. Tho ladles were mustered th long rows at supper when we arrived. Wo took our places in a shamefaced, tru ant manner and listened meekly to the conversation going on. The dovecot was lu a terrible way. There had been a bullfight at Boulogne. English trnv olers had patronized it. To think that English travelers should patronize a bullfight! Horrible! They elevated their eyebrows; they rolled their eyes. "I should like? to see & bullfight," I said defiantly. "Should you?" There waa a flutter of wings, a pluming of combs, and, set tling down with difficulty, they ob served me out of blazing eyes lnvlsh of scorn. "Why In the world did you do that?" exclaimed Jane outside in tho hall. "Do you want to get yourself dis liked?" "It ls so weary here," I complained. "It pleases me to get up a little excite ment. If I stayed, I should purposely shock them periodically. What's moro, I should dellberatel) throw au occa sional bomb In the shape of a proposal to Introduce a man." Jane threw up her hands. "A mani" she repeated hoarsely. Then she laugh ed. "Did you hear the mold ask me whethor I would have cucumbers or pickled beets?" I went on. "When I told her I would have both, she was paralyzed for the moment. Another thing, I took butter and marmalade ati one and the same time. A little old lady next to me was struck dumb seo-i lng me do lt." In the drawing room I sat at the piano for one brief moment A sign' confronted me: "No Practicing Al-i lowed. By Request." I got up and' went to the window. A sign blazoned I Itself there: "This Blind Is Not to Bel Pulled Up Until the Sun Goes Down For Fear of Fading the Cnrpet." 1| walked to the mantel. Another sigm "Only Two Ons Jets to Be Bumed at Once." I faced Jane exhaustedly. "What's nil this?" I begged to know. "Don't ask me," said she grimly. "It's the way they have of talking to you. It's that Invisible principal who does lt. She ls a mind reader. The other day I thought I would bring my sewing downstairs', where there was more room. I had hardly settled- my self comfortably when, looking up, I spied a sign, 'No Dressmaking Al lowed In tho Drawing Room.' " "1 can't stand it!" I groaned. "Como upstairs with me. We can look out the window there and look at the sea and breathe the atmosphere without a special written request to desist." This was how lt happened that Jane and I came to live In the open air, Uko birds. Wo ate and slept In tho Old Steine road. That was nil. Frequent ly we found lt Impossible to go back to eat. We went Into little restaurants Instead, where we had a skate or a fried sole or some other toothsome fish fresh from the sen. We sat on tho sea front and watched tho clouds. Wo took a sall In the Skylork. Wo went to sea In a skiff owned by an old weather bonton sailor, who, finding that we were able to row, left us with thc sculls and, ensconcing himself In the stern, lit his pipo and fell fast We had paid for an hour's rowing. While he slept we made straight for the horizon, from whence lt took him two mortal hours to row back. We strolled along tho beach, whore the flshormen were mending their nets, asking them questions, to which we re ceived answers totally Incomprehensi ble to landlubberly ears. Wo took raro baths early of mornings, dragged Into the waves by the curious little wagons and out Again. Wo took n trip on the sea car, visit ing the home of Rudyard Kipling. Go ing, Jane concluded she would mnrry the youth who was to wheel back to London with her on Saturday. Coming back tho skies shone with splendor. They mingled with the soft blue of the sen. "Perhaps he 1B sail ing homo to mo now." she brenthed. "Who knows? I will walt for him." "Good!" said I. "Do." She took my hand and held it "I nm sorry you aro going away tomor row!" she sighed. "You are sweet." I was pleased. Late last night wo sat together at the window In my room listening to the moan of the sea. It took on an added note of sadness, or was it the pending separation from the girl who, like a fair white sloop, WAS about to pass me in the night? There wero two narrow bods In my room. I wished to have her sleep in one, to bo near, but on tho landing we found a mysterious sign reading, "No Changing Rooms or Occupying the Same Apartment WUh a Friend Even For a Night." lt, wjjjL us.jjaiul had ?njfk.

Phis is particularly true of Sootb karolina, for Capt. Capers, who is a ecent office-holding convert to Re lublicauism, has posed as a lily white if lily whites. Capt.

Then came the Arlington linner, at which the members of the lommittee spent a delightful evening n social intercourse. Judge Robin on, of North Carolina, would not ;o, expressing bin reason with char acteristic terseness. He proposed to cluain a gentleman, he said. . The absence of no other commit eeman was noticed, but it is reported tere that Capt. Capers, since his re urn to South Carolina, has denied bat he was there, saying ho was in 3altimore that night. Perhaps Japl. Capers has a treacherous mern >ry. It may or may not be ohronio. Certainly either his memory or that >f a number of members of the iommittee is at fault.
