Haw the Chief Engineer of Panama Canai
Closed a Saloon President Amador
Mrs Herbert D Squlers Wed
ding of Rosemary Sartoris
MEN President
Iioosevelt was
starting on his
trip to Panama he
said to the corre
spondents who came
to see him off
Goodby I am go
ing down to see how
the ditch is getting
JOHN F STEVEXSal0U Tje man
who is digging the ditch Chief En
gineer John 1 Stevens is an impor
tant personage at Panama during pres
idential visits or at any ether time
He can wield a big stick as effectively
as even the president himself as he
has shown upon numerous occasions
lie does not stand for red tape when
there is something that needs to be
done on the spot This was illustrated
about eighteen years ago when Ste
vens had charge as an enuineov i a
railroad construction gang in t est
The work progressed satsf rily
until a fellow possessed of more enter
prise than principle appeared upon
the scene to profit by trading upon the
vices of the laborers He erected a
rude shack and stocked it with vile
whisky The men having no other
place in which to amuse themselves or
spnd their money patronized the sa
loon so freely that the gang soon be
came demoralized
The saloon was not located on rail
road land so Stevens had no legal au-
tuority to nu nimsell ot it and ex
postulation with the proprietor who
was commix money faster than a gov
ernment mint was of no avail
Finally Engineer Stevens made a
personal visit to the saloon and en
gaged in conversation the proprietor
When are you going to leave here
demanded the railroad official
When I get good and ready was
the surly response of the saloonist
I am going now laconically re
torted Stevens and so saying he drew
from his pocket a mammoth dynamite
cartridge scratched a match on his
corduroy trousers ignited the fuse
threw the missile of destruction behind
the bar and ran The saloon keeper
decided that he was quite ready to go
also and didnt argue the proposition
In thirty seconds the shack was blown
from the face of the earth and busi
ness was not resumed at the old stand
Dr Manuel Amador president of the
republic of Panama the host of Presi
dent Roosevelt during his stay in the
borders of that country is the leader
of the medical profession in Panama
as well as head of the republic lie is
seventy two years of age and was
born in Cartagena Colombia He will
be known as the only president of Pan
ama not a native
-
of the republic as
the constitution pro
vides that his suc
cessors must have
been born on Pana
ma soil Though he
first saw the light
outside Panama he
has lived in the
country of which he
is now president
since 1SI0 HoAvas
often urged to ac
cept office but nev
er held one before
although in 1SG9 he maxuel amadou
was elected to the presidency of what
was then the state of Panama He
never took office as a revolution came
along and prevented him from doing
so He is a Liberal and although a
member of the Roman Catholic church
believes in separation of church and
state This is a leading issue on the
isthmus ne is a man of learning and
the Panamans know that ho took
many risks in connection with the rev
olution which resulted in the separa
tion of Panama from Colombia When
fellow revolutionists deserted him the
decision and courage he displayed
achieved the success of the movement
for Independence
Years ago when Panama was a part
of Colombia and Dr Amador had been
active in opposing Conservatives he
was warned of a conspiracy against
his life As the story goes he escaped
his enemies by having himself packed
in a lard barrel and shipped across the
isthmus
The presidents visit to the isthmus
calls attention to the fact that the re
public of Panama though small geo
graphically occupies a position of Im
portance among the other republics of
the American continent on account of
the great commercial highway of the
future on which it is located The
post of United States minister to this
republic is one of
more responsibility
therefore than
might at first ap
pear and its duties
are especially deli
cate in view of the
unusual relations
between Panama
and the United
States and the vir
tual proprietorship
by Uncle Sam of
the strip known as
the canal zone
HerbertD Squlers
formerly minister to Cuba was not
long ago appointed to the position of
minister to Panama In the diplomatic
F2
K9
iervice and especially In countries llkfc
Panama where Spanish traditions pre
vail the social duties of the minister
are among the most important he has
to discharge and to assist him in these
he needs a clever wife Mr Squlers
first wife was Helen L Fargo daugh
ter of the late William G Fargo of
Buffalo founder with Henry Wells of
the Wells Fargo Express company
She died in 1SS5 and in 1SS9 he mar
ried Harriet liard Woodcock who
while he was secretary of the United
States legation at Peking helped him
to attain an exceptional reputation for
hospitality All through the siege of
Peking during the Boxer insurrection
she was noted for her courage She
fed the sick and hungry and wounded
under shot and shell and was called
the heroine of the siege In Cuba she
was active in philanthropic work and
organized a branch of tne Humane so
ciety
A marriage in which interest was
taken not only all over the United
States but all over the world was
that of Miss Rosemary Sartoris to
Ceorge II Woolston The happy bride
is a daughter of Mrs Nellie Grant Sar 1
toris and a granddaughter of General
Ulysses S Grant
Her sister Vivian
married Frederick
Roosevelt Scovel a
cousin of President
Roosevelt Mrs
Woolston made her
debut In Washing

It is unusual for an author to be
successful in business especially a
woman author but the clever your g
woman who wrote Mrs Wiggs of the
Cabbage Patch is an exception It is
five years since that popular story saw
the light She was then Miss Alice

left her compara
tive little time for
books or for indulg
ing her aspirations
for authorship but
she was considered
one of the brightest
members of a cer
tain literary club in
Louisville and her
amateur efforts led
to more serious
work Hence came the study of life
among the simple folks of the forlorn
and unbeautiful part of her own city
which was destined to Avin for her so
much popularity It was a year after
the publication of this story and when
she was about thirty two years of ago
that she married Cale Young Rice also
an author chiefly a writer of plays
and poems Mrs Wiggs of the Cab
bage Tatch brought in a good many
dollar5 Some of them went into a
lead mining venture in Illinois Mrs
Rice recently disposed of part of her
interest for 130000 and with other
members of her family still owns a

new company formed to develop the

Charles W Morse once the ice king
now the steamship king is a financier
who is always surprising the public
His recent acquisition of the Clyde
lino of steamers including eight -hips
at a price said to be 0000000 makes
him master of the coastwise steamship
business on the Atlantic seaboard Mr
Morse now controls nearly every line
of coasting steamers from St John X
B to Galveston
Tex Ho is noted
for his quiet meth
ods He attends to
business and never
lets the cat out of
the bag until it is
quite ready to jump
Sixteen years ago
Morse got a corner
on all the ice in the
east forcing many
small concerns to
the wall The pub
lic was furious but
Morse turned the
sentiment in his fa
vor by putting the
1 1
CHARLES W MORSE
price of ice below the former figure
He sold every pound he had In 1S97
he formed the ice trust
Mr Morse left Bath Me his early
home twenty five years ago and went
into business in New York He was
then twenty five years old He made
00000 the first year in a speculation
in southern pine lands He Is heavily
interested now in the banking busi
ness controlling about 120000000
capital Perhaps this financier is most
familiar to the public through his con
nection with the famous Morse Dodge
divorce entanglement The now cele
brated conspiracy to break the mar
riage of Mr Morse and his wife who
was Mrs Dodge failed In Its object
and one of the parties to It the New
York lawyer Abraham Hummel was
convicted of a felony for his share in
the work
While the legality of their marriage
was In doubt Mr and Mrs Morse lived
apart When It was found valid they
were happily reunited
