Joseph Helms FICTION is FICTIO NEWS IS TRUT The GAZETTE Prints the Ne The GAZETTE Tells the Tru FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL WASHINGTON, June 8.—Health conditions on the Isthmus of Panama, which have been one of the government's wonderful achievements in connection with the work on the canal, are favorable to an extraordinary degree. Colonel W. C. Gorgas, who converted the disease infested zone into the most healthful region in the tropics, is bringing about steadily improved conditions. Last month there was not a single death from typhoid fever on the Isthmus. It is doubtless true that no area in any of the great nations of the world having as large a population can make a similar boast. No case of smallpox, plague or yellow fever developed on the Isthmus; although all those diseases prevail in the ports north and south of the zone. The deaths among the employes were at the rate of 8.75 per thousand and the death rate for the total population was the lowest reported since American occupation. It might be remarked, however, that the zone is a decidedly unhealthful locality for the warriors of the prize ring. "Sandy" Odom, an American negro, and Arthur Best, a Barbadian, were convicted on the charge of prize fighting. "Sandy" was fined $1500 and sentenced to serve 18 months at hard labor. Best was sentenced to pay $1000 and serve one year, execution being suspended during good behavior. While digging around in a dust-covered pile of nondescript odds and ends in a long-disused room of the capitol, W. R.

Duckstein, an art restorer, recently found two portraits of Judge Alonzo Taft, father of the president. The pictures were covered with dirt when unearthed. They were made in the early 70's by Charles Crane, an artist of considerable reputation at that time. The portraits have been cleaned and renovated and are now at the White House where they are objects of great interest to the president and his brother, C. P. Taft. It is evident that Secretary Knox is doing his utmost to secure any possible advantage, under the maximum and minimum arrangement of the tariff hill, whereby he may cultivate the good graces of foreign countries that are disposed to retaliate against American products if their own are seriously affected by the Payne bill. This phase of the problem is left almost entirely to the State Department. Senators and congressmen fight for high or low rates, as the case may be, without appearing to give much consideration to the possibility that the products of their regions may be shut out of foreign markets by tariff rearrangements. That there will be disappointments in this respect is not merely a possibility. It is extremely likely. The State Department has taken the initial step of notifying foreign governments with which the United States has reciprocal trade agreements of its intention to terminate them. It is probable that none will become inoperative until a year after the notification, in order that preference shall be given no one country over the others. It will, of course, become the duty of Secretary Knox to make the most $1500 and sentenced to serve 18 months at hard labor.

"How do you expired the chief executive." "Well, he called office, waited four then was unable to send he would never go." "What else did he president."

It is probable that none will become inoperative until a year after the notification, in order that preference shall be given no one country over the others. It will, of course, become the duty of Secretary Knox to make the most of the maximum and minimum clause by negotiating other treaties with the countries in question. It was Secretary Root's contention that the State Department was allowed too little latitude in this respect. Secretary Knox may have an opportunity to accomplish greater results. Energetic measures taken by the military authorities to improve the marksmanship of the soldiers of the United States army have produced gratifying results during the target season of 1908, according to the tabulated reports which have just been issued by the War Department. Upon the basis of the scores made, the number of enlisted men and officers who have qualified as expert riflemen has been increased by 343, the number of sharpshooters by 2131, and the number of marksmen by 310. At the same time the scores made by the company and regimental teams were correspondingly higher for the season of 1908 than they were for 1907. Why do barbers talk so much? Senator Dolliver of Iowa, thinks he discovered the reason. It is being more nor less than the psychological effect of the razor. For generation this phenomenon the barber's loquacity," said he another day, "observed in all countries and in every stratum of society, has been a theme for wonder in our study. I have solved the problem. For three days the Senate has been talking over the razor schedule in the tariff bill. Think of that three days! There must be something about the razor that necessar- inspires conversation. It isn't the barber's fault. We have seen senators and seers are just as keen to fall under its conversational appeal as is the man who shaves us cuts our hair. We should never blame the barber." During this debate one Southern Senator confessed that he had at once used a razor that cost him only a cents. Which reminded one of his colleagues or the story of a cold gentleman who brought home a safety razor and proudly exhibited it to his wife. When he had explained the method of operation, she shook her head and said: Rastus, dat may be a good 'nough mah to cut off de whiskahs, but Ah mah doubts 'bout it bein' 'adapted to social pu'poses." Mrs. Tft recently gave a big afternoon party to the wives of notables and one of her guests was the conduct of a congressman from the Pacific coast. She is a smiling, clever woman with the frankness and independence characteristic of the best. In the course of events, resident Taft, in his very best humor, came to the East room to meet the friends of Mrs. Taft. He met flight was confined to the observation of birds. The Wrights themselves happen to be in the United States because the war department saw fit to use a portion of the fund appropriated for the Board of Ordnance and Fortification to encourage them in their work. Even the medal voted the Wright brothers in honor of their achievement will not be done by a noted artist because congress did not supply sufficient money for this purpose. The design will be executed at the mint. There is every hope, however, that, at the forthcoming session, an appropriation may be secured to take up aeronautical experiments in earnest. With the problem of flight, to a certain extent, solved, it is now of the utmost importance to determine how the advantage so gained may be put to practical use. As weapons of defense or attack, aeroplanes and dirigible balloons are not likely to be effective or dangerous at the present stage of development. In conjunction with the use of wireless telegraphy, however, they may be of incalculable benefit in the conduct of a military campaign by disclosing the enemy's position. For scouting purposes they would be invaluable. The question of dropping explosives is still a hypothetical one. It is pointed out that it is no easy matter to drop a bomb with any accuracy which might have a destructive effect, from great heights. The possibilities of development, however, are innumerable. To determine these and to solve the problem still confronting navigators of the air, is the desire of the army Signal Corps. It remains to be seen whether or not congress may think it worth the effort. Mrs. Tft recently gave a big after-party to the wives of notables and one of her guests was the conductor of a congressman from the Pacific coast. She is a smiling, clever woman with the frankness and independence characteristic of the best. In the course of events, President Taft, in his very best humor, came to the East room to meet the friends of Mrs. Taft. He met Mrs. Pacific Coast. They had a lively chat, which led the president to remark that he had not met the lady's husband. "Yes, and that is not all, Mr. President," she said with a smile. "You are not going to meet him." "How do you explain that?" queried the chief executive. "Well, he called at the executive office, waited four hours, and even then was unable to see you. He said he would never go there again." "What else did he say?" asked the president. "If you demand a strictly truthful answer, Mr. President," she said, as her eyes twinkled, "I must tell you that he said you could 'go to hell!'" The president laughed heartily and requested her to tell her husband he wished to see him next day. The congressman did call next day and thanks to his wife, now maintains pleasant relations with the White House instead of the feud he had involved as the result of his four-hour wait. The efforts of General Allen, chief of the Signal Corps, and of the War Department to secure from congress an appropriation to purchase sufficient equipment to undertake experimentation in aeronautics having failed, the United States will be a somewhat barren field for oeronautics and aviators during the coming year. The one dirigible balloon in the possession of the Department will make flights at Omaha, where the army has its only gas plant. Here, officers and men will be taught how it feels to be in the air. Trial flights may also be made to Fort Leavenworth, but outside of this the government will take no cognizance of aeronautics as a part of the future equipment to drop a bomb with any accuracy which might have a destructive effect, from great heights. The possibilities of development, however, are innumerable. To determine these and to solve the problem still confronting navigators of the air, is the desire of the army Signal Corps. It remains to be seen whether or not congress may think it worth the effort. EVANGELIST MEETINGS Will Begin at Opera-house Next Sunday Evening The opera-house has been engaged for special gospel and evangelistic meetings. Evangelist Robert L. Jones of Jamestown, N.J., and his gospel singer, Carl E. Burch of Boston, will have these meetings in charge. The thought of this special effort is not to enhance the interest of any one denomination but the general welfare of the entire community is sought. It is hoped, therefore, that all the churches of Anaheim and the people of no church will do all they can to make this special effort a blessing to the entire city. Evangelist Jones has vigorous support in Carl E. Burch who is one of the most gifted gospel singers in the work. He possesses a rich baritone voice especially adapted to the singing of gospel music. It is hoped that a large chorus may be formed as the music will be a feature of the work. E. O. Excell's cheerful and charming hymn book will be used and a lively song service will precede the address each evening. Mr. Burch will sing several solos at each service. All lovers of music and good singing should not fail to attend these services. Evangelist Jones is rather averse to the old time methods of revival work. He does not permit church members to do personal work during the time of service and no embarassing tests are made. Mr. Jones does not try to scare or scold people into making a decision for the better life and the morbid and clap trap methods sometimes employed by the travelling evangelist are eliminated from his work. He proclaims a practical that barren held for aeronautics and aviators during the coming year. The one dirigible balloon in the possession of the Department will make flights at Omaha, where the army has its only gas plant. Here, officers and men will be taught how it feels to be in the air. Trial flights may also be made to Fort Leavenworth, but outside of this the government will take no cognizance of aeronautics as a part of the future equipment of the armies. Lieutenants Lanm and Foulois will not remain at Fort Omaha. As soon as they put the dirigible into shape they will return to Fort Myer, Washington, to take lessons from the Wright brothers and Herring in the handling of aeroplanes. These machines, if they meet the requirements of the War Department, will be experimented with, but their delivery has little other than a scientific interest, for the Department has no fund with which to purchase more than one of each. Despite the apparent apathy on the part of congress, efforts will be continued by the Signal Corps to establish to the satisfaction of the national legislature the value of the aeroplane in military operations. American inventors have achieved their successes in the face of a disheartening lack of interest and support from the government. Professor Langley, who, it is acknowledged, did more for aeronautics than any other person with the exception of the Wrights, was made the target of ridicule by certain congressmen whose knowledge of the problem of Evangelist Jones is rather devoted to the old time methods of revival work. He does not permit church members to do personal work during the time of service and no embarassing tests are made. Mr. Jones does not try to scare or scold people into making a decision for the better life and the morbid and clap trap methods sometimes employed by the travelling evangelist are eliminated from his work. He proclaims a practical and cheerful gospel intended to meet the everyday needs of life. The services will begin promptly every evening at 7:45 with the exception of Thursdays and Sundays. There will be no charge for admittance and seats will be free. Plan to attend the first service next Sunday night, also every night during the two weeks GASOLINE STOVE EXPLODED The residence of Joseph Unger at North and West streets narrowly escaped destruction by a fire Wednesday afternoon of last week between the hours of 12 and 1. A gasoline stove where the midday meal was being prepared exploded, and but for prompt measures taken by Mr. and Mrs. Unger the house would have been consumed. They were in the yard at the time and had their attention directed by a large clock and plaster falling to the floor. Hastily entering the kitchen, they found a blaze, the lath whence the plaster had fallen being on fire. Several buckets of water put the fire out. The walls and ceiling were blistered and pictures hanging on the wall were burned.
