PAY $25,000,000 FOR CANAL.
Signing of Treaty Will End Ten Years
of Negotiation.
Washington, April 8.?Undisguised
gratification was felt by administration
officials here to-day at the
prospect of finally healing the breach
between the United States and Codombia
through the treaty signed ai
Bogota yesterday. If this convention
is ratified by the two countries,
as officials are confident it will be, it
will close amicably a bitter controversy,
brought on by the secession ol
Panama in 1903 and the granting
to the United States the Canal Zone
and which the Washington government
has felt handicapped it in its
relations with all Latin-America.
Substantial details of the treaty
became known here to-day.
V
The principal article provides foi
the payment to Colombia of $25,000,'
000 six months after ratifications
have been exchanged between the
two countries, as indemnity for the
losses she has sustained. This is
granted in a lump sum and the treaty
does not attempt to specify how much
of this amount is in reparation foi
the loss of Panama or how much foi
the loss of the Panama Railway
rights.
Shipping Rights.
Colombia is granted the right t<
ship coal, salt and petroleum from
her Atlantic to her Pacific ports
either through the canal or across the
Panama Railway, without any charge
other than the cost of freight, nc
duty being assessed. These articles
. are not produced along the Pacific
side of the country and mountains
prevent easy communication overland
through Colombia.
A third article fixes the boundary
1 " 1 1 o *"? A DonOm<
line ueiweeu twuuiuia auu x auauu
and restores to the latter a strip ol
territory which had been claimed b>
Panama. This line is the same as
that which was provided in the
Cortes Arosema treaty between Colombia
and Panama, one of the tri
parte treaties never ratified by Colombia,
except that it fixes definitely
the point on the Pacific coast where
the boundary terminates, which is tc
be midway between Points Cocalita
and Ardita. The former treaty left
this point to be settled by a tribunal
of arbitration to be appointed. A
treaty, however, between Colombia
and Panama will be necessary before
this boundary settlement is final. The
United States agrees to use its good
offices with Panama in the matter".
Another article expresses the hope
that friendly relations between the
United States and Colombia may confirms
fmm thi.c timp forward.
Colombia's Demands.
Colombia has insisted that the
United States either pay a lump sun:
for the Canal Zone it acquired whei
the Republic of Panama was set ui
over night with guarantees of in
tegrity from Washington: or that the
whole question be submitted to The
Hague for abitration.
The last negotiations took place ai
the close of President Taft's admin
istration when Minister Dubois, un
der instructions of Secretary Knox
Offered a settlement 011 this basis:
Ratification by Colombia of the so
called tri-partite treaty of 1909, b:
which Panama agreed to apportior
with Colombia the annual paymen
of $250,000 which she receives fron
the United States as rent for th<
Canal Zone for a sufficient period t(
liquidate any claim of Colombia's ui
to $10,000,000.

ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
The Ancients Thought it Was a Drop
of Dew From Heaven.
No record exists or even tradition
as to the discovery of the first pearl.
. The mystery of its origin has doubtless
contributed in no small degree
. to render it the prime favorite that it
, has ever been in the eyes of the ori.
entals.
: From time immemorial the na.
tions of antiquity have used the pearl
to decorate their persons and adorn
their temples and we find many curi.
ous beliefs existing as to its origin,
f The one most prevalent in Pliney's
- time was that pearls were formed
( from the dews of heaven, falling in.
to the open shells at breeding time.
. and it was in allusion to this pretty
conceit that a noble Venetian lady
, named Corraro, had a gold medal
struck (bearing the date 1620) on
. the reverse side of which is an open
shell receiving the drops of dew from
. heaven which form into pearls as
? they fall. The motto was nure m?
vino" (by the divine dew).
. In these more practical but less
, poetic days the generally accepted
t theory is that some foreign sub.
stance, possibly even a grain of sand,
. having by accident entered the shell
r of the oyster, a certain amount of
? irritation is induced which causes
the exudation of a pearly secretion
j (known as nacre), and this effectual(
Iv covers up the intruder, and also
that with the growth of the oyster
, the pearl increases in size.
, The pearl, unlike all other gems,
) requires no assistance from man to
enhance its value, or from art to add
one iota to its perfect loveliness.?

DELEGATES FAVOR REPEAL.

l Washington, April 12.?First rei
turns from a poll Senator Gore is
. making of delegates to the Democra
tic-National Convention at Baltimore
i on the canal tolls Issue were an
nounced to-night by the democratic
national committee. They showed
33S for repealing the clause of the
Toll Exemption" Act, 6S against and
11 non-committal.
; Debate on the repeal has centred
? largely in declaration of the Balti?
more platform for free tolls, and two
, weeks ago Senator- Gore addressed 1
1 personal letters to each of the thousI
and odd delegates to the convention
[ asking for an expression of opinion
on the issue.
i "Up to date the returns are alike
; astounding to the champions and op
ponents of the repeal," said the ani
nouncement to-night. "Only two
; States have given a majority against
. the repeal. A number of them, so
far as the votes have been received
have declared unanimously in favor
of the repeal, notably Texas and
Pennsylvania. In Illinois the vote to
date is 24 to 2 for repeal."
BERRY, THE HANGMAN.
How He Got His Grewsome Office and
Why He Resigned it.
Berry, the famous English hangman
had an extraordinary career. He
worked as a carpenter, engineer and
printer before joining the police
force. He knew his predecessors.
Marwood and Calcroft, and secured
the post of hangman out of 1,400 ap
plicants. It is saia mat oerry was
chosen as hangman by the sheriffs of
London through an answer he gave
to a question about hanging a man
he knew to be innocent. "Would
you hang that gentleman over
there?" he was asked. After looking
at the councilor, a venerable,
gray bearded figure, Berry is alleged
to have replied: "I would hang the
lot of you. The crime would not be
i mine, but the law's."
And yet Berry finally gave up his
office as hangman because the execui
tion by him of two innocent persons
got on his nerves.
The first case was that of a farm
, lad. aged about eighteen, accused of
shooting a policeman. The boy pro!
tested his innocence to Berry up to
i the last moment, but was duly e\.
ecuted. Some time after this Berry
. hanged the Xetherby Hall murderi
ers, one of whom just before he died
told Berry that it was he who had
shot the policeman for which crime
, the boy had been executed,
i The second case was; that of Mary
! Leffley of Lincolnshire, who was ac
cused of poisioning her husband with
arsenic. She, too, protested her innocence,
but was hanged. Some
years later a farmer dying of cancer
confessed the crime. He said he had
had a quarrel with John Leffley, and
when both John and Mary were out
he had entered their cottage and
? f)ut arsenic in a milk pudding which
had been prepared for John Leffley's
dinner.
It was on account of these two
grave miscarriages of justice that
, Berry ultimately turned evangelist.
He was persuaded to go to a mission
meeting at Bradford and there anj
nounced his conversion.?London

5 A Preempted Right.
"How many of youM)oys way back
! in the 'SOs knew that I was regarded
as one of the homeliest men in Kentucky?"
remarked Senator Bradley.
"It's a fact," and with a chuckle
he proceeded to give an instance of
It.
"Under the laws of Kentucky the
governor has the power of pardon
even before grand jury proceedings
on trial. During my first term as
governor my attorney general was
John K. Hendrick. Some people
were divided as to .which of us was
the homeliest. John always maintained
that he was a better looking
man than I, and I always disputed
his argument.
> "One day Hendrick walked into
i my office.
f " 'I want a pardon, governor,' he
t announced.
I " 'All right, Hendrick,' I replied;
"what have you done?'
" 'I just shot a man down the
L street,' said HendricK, caimiy.
" 'What for?' I demanded.
" 'He said I looked like you,' answered
Hendrick, 'and I could not
stand for that.'
* " 'You shall have the pardon im'
mediately,' I replied. 'If you hadn't
shot the cuss, I would have done so
on sight.' "?National Monthly.
