The public manifestations of Joy
oontlnue throughout tho length and

Joy that the population aro once for

nnd sovoral other points soon.
Tho municipal councils at Pcnonomo,
Empradaro, San Carlos and Arraljan
havo announced their adherence to the
now republic of Panama.
A manifesto addressed to tho citizens
of tho new republic of Panama has
been issued, saying that the inhabitants
of the IsthmtiB had dono what was ln
ovltabln in vlow of the situation, which
wa3 becoming graver dally. Under the
late system of Colombian government
the Inhabitants of the Isthmus had been
governed with a narrow-mindedness
which In days gone by had been applied
to American colonies by tho powers
of Europe.
Tho fact that tho Isthmus of Panama
netted Colombia Inrgo sums of customs
duties and had not received tho bene
fit of even n bridge over nny of its
rivers, the construction of a single
road between any ot the towns, tho
erection of nny public buildings, the
establishment of a single college, nor
of any other step tending to advance
tho Industries or intellectual develop
ment of Panama, as not even tho most
Inllnltealiniil part of tho largo sums
collected had been applied towards
benefiting Panama in any shape or
form.
The failure of the Hay-IIcrran canal
trenty to meet with approval of the
congress nt Ilogotn was tho result of
only a few lutluentinl men holding
power, and their opposition to tho rat
ification was duo to the allegation that
Panama would be tho only part of tho
country which would receive direct
bcnofitB from the building of an lnter
oceanle canal.
Tho peoplo of tho Isthmus, In view
of this notorious situation, decided to
recover their sovereignty, in order to
work out their own destiny and secure
tho futuro of Panama in keeping with
tho ovldcnt destiny of tho country, its
vast territory and Its immenso riches.
Tho Initiators of tho movement asplro
to assist in this work and also to take
part in tho foundation of a republic
whero the laws shall bo tho unfailing

At the beginning of the life of this

tho present state of affairs means, but
havo profound faith in the good seusc

believe that they possess sutllcicnt en
ergy to open tho way, by their labor,
to a huppy future, without worry or
danger.
Tho separation of the Isthmus from
Colombia was accomplished without
feeling ot hatred or any sentiment of
Joy. Just as a son withdraws from tho
paternal root tho Isthmian people, tak
ing tholr chosen path, have separated
themselves from Colombia. They did It
with grler, but they complied with their
supremo, inevitable duty, that or look
ing to their own futuro, of attending
to tholr own prescrvntlon and of work

that ho had no discretion In the matter
nnd had no right to prevent Mr. Uryan

When the amount or the bond was

"Tho nmount of tho estate Is on ltn

vulue thereof cannot bo stated by nny
ono without careful examination of the

shall suggest the amount of tho bond.

concerned I wns asked to net by tho
testator, and ns I havo said publicly
I feel I ought to do It unless the court
appoint somo ono who Is Interested In
carrying out tho will instead of at
tempting to defeat it."
Mr. Stoddard pointed out that tho es

Ho suggested either $3:25,000 or $350,000.
Mr. Bryan sold that would bo satisfac

PROF. MOMMSEN, FOREMOST GERMAN
JURIST
Prof. Thcodor Mommscn, who dlod
at Berlin Nov. 1, wns tho foremost
Jurist nnd historian of Germany. Prof.
Mommsen was nearly 80 years old. Ho
was born at Gardlng, formerly Dan
ish Schleswlg, Nov. 30, 1817, and was
professor of law at tho ago of 30 in
the University of Lclpzlc. In 1852 ho
occupied the samo position at Zurich,
going thenco successively to Breslau,
ONE OF GERMANY'S GREATEST.
Prof. Mommsen'a Death Breaks Link
In History.
With tho passing of Prof. Thcodor
Mommscn, Germany hns lost tho last
link between tho present generation
of thinkers and scholurs nnd thoso
who like Helmholtz and Vircbow lent
tho luster of tholr works to the past
four decades of German history. The
old historian frequently received cor
respondents In his home In Chariot
tenburg, ono of Berlin's suburbs, nnd
mado ench Interview tho occasion of
affairs, of which ho was a keen stu
an animated discussion of American
dent.
Mommscn wns fond of dwelling on
two ideas, any report of which ho re
quested should not bo published until
after his death. When asked onco
what was tho motlvo underlying tho
knlscr's nnxloty to possess a powerful
navy ho replied: "Because ho dreams
of n German Trafalgar at tho ex
pense of either Great Britain or tho
United States. Ho would prefer tho
United States, because ho has no
grandmother burled there."
Another favorite Idea tho old his
torian had was the peaceful creation
of a German state within tho United
States whero Germans might resldo
under some form of German self-government
and livo out their German
Ideals untrammoled by tho modern
political tendencies of tho fatherland,
which ho Insisted wero reactionary.
Surrounded by his lnrgo family
Mommsen spent hlu declining years
arranging his valuablci collection of
manuscripts. Occasionally ho would
Issuo a munlfosto on somo burning
public topic. His most recent utter
ances consisted of appeals for Gorman-
university freedom, for nn nl
llanco of the liberal nnd socialist
parties and for a better Anglo-Ger-mnn
understanding. Many of Moinm
sen's countrymon refused to take him
seriously, declaring thnt ho hud fulled
to keep stop with tho march of mod
ern events, but still thought In tho
spirit of forty years ago. Germany,
however, mourns In hint the loss of
one of her greatest sons.
Desperado Turns Detective.
"Devil Anso" Hatfield, onco u lead

feud between tho Hatllolds and the Mc

succeeded In landing two alleged mur
derers in tho Logan county Jail. Tho
prisoners nro suspected of having
killed u Syrlun peddler near Hatflold'B
home. After tho body wns found tho
accused disappeared, but Hatllold or
ganized a iiosso and went in pursuit.
He had followed tho men for thirty
miles through tho mountains before
capturing them.
Dlraeli Lacked Physical Courage.
Tho Into earl of Beaconsfleld wns
gifted with any amount of moral and
political courago, but he was an ab
jeet coward physically. When he was
still plain Mr. Disraeli, his wlfo once
said of him: "Benjamin. is tho great
est coward I over suw. Why, do you
know 1 always havo to pull tho string
ot his shower bath?" And tho grent
man was fain to conress thatithluwas
actually tho case.

nnd should probably now bo dead and

AN OLD HUNTER'S ADVICE.
A Few Good Things for the Novice to
Remember.
Hero Is tho ndvlce an old hunter
gives to thoso who may como Into
unexpected contact with bad animals:
"If you aro cornered by n annko,
stand motionless nnd he will never
bite.
"If n vicious dos attacks you, show
him n knlfo or somo Hlmllnr instru
ment and ho will keep out of reach.
A dog can never learn tho dead II
ness of a revolver or a gun, but un
less he hns the rabies, ho knows how
to respect n knife.
"If a swarm of wild bees attacks
you, stand motionless and lot out nil
your breath. Then only a fow of tho
swnrin will sting."
This ndvico should bo reversed at
sen. A man who Is swimming In
shnrk-lnfested waters Is safe as long
as he kicks about and makes a great
deal of nolso. The shark Is too timid
to approach anything that looks as If
it meant to fight.
"What would you do In caso you
were cornered by n cinnamon bear?"
somo ono nsked the old hunter.
"Sny my prayers," ho unswerod la
conically. "Cast-Offs" Sold to Negroes.
Thousands of Southern negroes
wear tho cast-off clothing of Now
Yorkers. Such clothing is bought for
llttlo or nothing by peddlers, who
Bell it to the wholesalers. Tho whole
salers clean, pntch nnd press tho gar
ments, nrrnngo them nccordlng to
size In dozens and nwnit tho Southern
merchant. Tho latter comes from
Washington, Baltimore. Richmond,
Charleston, Mobile nnd somo of tho
other larger cities to buy. Tho whole
saler sells on ninety days credit, nnd
if ono merchant does not offer a fair
price awaits tho coming of others. No
body's profits nro extraordinary largo,
but those of tho Southern retailer nro
probably tho best.
A Thrifty Bride.
"It's a pity," said tho man in tho
rough brown suit, "that Johnson mar
ried at tho very beginning of his busi
ness career. I nm nfrald that young
wlfo ot his with her lovo for pretty
clothes will bo a millstone round his
neck."
"Don't you believe It. She'll mako
him president of n trust ono of theso
days," said the man In tho now derby,
who bad been spending tho wcok end
at tho small suburban homo or tho
aforementioned Johnson. "Every
towel und napkin I saw In tho houso
had the natno or somo hotel stamped
on It, and so did tho spoons, by Jove.
Slto bad gathered them up on their
