It is reported that the congrass, while rejecting the old treaty, has given President Marroguln Tull power to renew negotiations and conclude a treaty This opens the poeal hlllty that the new agreement will follow the Hny Hreran treaty very closely In substance or even be Identical with It. While the situation la aatremoly complicated, the reference of the canal dispute to the Colombian, executive greatly simplifies matters, and there la some ground for belief that a way will be found out of tbc

An International Language. V With the growth of commerce and the Interchange of Intelligence throughout the world there Is a growing demand for a universal language. The Inestimable benefits of such a medium of communication arc apparent, and human ingenuity, which has to Ita cmllt so many marvelous achievements In recent years, ought to"be able to accomplish this Something has been done In this direction, though the growth of the movement Is slow. Artifbasi languages have been derated for Intercourse with native peoples tn various sections of the world. For Instance. In Chinese ports all for elgncra employ ••pigeon English; India Ulndooetanee serves the i purpose; In the northwest of this country and Canada Intercourse with the Indians Is carried on In Chinook, a Jargon introduced to this end by the Hudson Bay company. These In a erode way have answered their purpose fairly well and enabled people of different languages to have intelligent Intercourse with each other. In recent years various attempts have been made at devising and Introducing an artificial language for universal oar -Votapuk" was much talked of for s Qme. but tt was so arbitrary and so barren that It appears to have been almost wholly abandoned Better fortune seems to be attending a later attempt called -Esperanto." which la said' to have achieved remarts hie popularity tn Europe, numbering Its adherents already by the hundred thousand The pruepecta for Its success are enhanced by the tart that one of the foremost publishing booses of Paris has lately taken tt up. publishing manuals and vocabularies In -Esperanto" for all the leading languages of the world. The worts of classic and standard authors hare also been translated Into tt sad a newspaper la laaoed as lu organ. “Esperanto” b the result of twaive years of study on the part of a Bow atan linguist of German descent.

The recent order of tbc Wahaab. tbc Hock Island and the Alton Railway rumps ales prohibiting the use of alcoholic liquors and cigarettes on tbs part of all their employees under penalty >f discharge will undoubtedly do more tor practical temperance among the men employed on those reads than could he accomplished In any other way. Tha use of liquor has long been denied by many railroad crtnpanlea men actually In charge of trains, but the extension of the order to all In the company’s employ Is a radical step. It Is a rather drastic measure and one which many may regard as trenching too closely upon the personal, liberty of the employee. It may be argued that if an employee does his wort satisfactorily tt matters not how be spends his leisure hours. Yst the thoughtful workman will admit that he can neither do himself nor Ms cm ployer Justice during working hours If he spends leisure time and money In riotous living. The wages of personal dissipation are death to the high-

est personal efficiency

The attitude taken by the railway companies named, while perhaps more radical and comprehensive than that of many employing corporations. Is not nnusuaL The lines are dosing up in many avenues of employment against _th e man who drinks. Employers everywhere are realizing that the employee who gives r port of himself over to the slavery of liquor la not the man they want They want a full man. not port of .one; pot one who Is a man only part of the time, but one who la a whole man, with his fun senses, all the time. It Is becoming more and more Imperative every year that the man who has services to sell should recognise these facta, and a cheerful recognition of them ts best and wisest

for himself.

The racing season of 1903 will be a memorable ooe to horsemen by reason of tha remarkable records made. Sev-

ago Lott Dillon trotted a

mile In two minute*, establishing a record which horsemen had for years been working for. Then Dan Patch paced a mile In IfiO. making a new record for that gait Now along comes Prince Alert pacing a mile In 1ST. lowering the record again by Dot less than two

These are remarkable achleveOrdlnarlly speed records go

down by fractious of a second, but this

they seem to hare been fairly

The Intricacies of Fire Insurance and Difficulties of Policy Hotdors. WHttss toe (IM Qua Mtr llaraU. ‘‘Is It worth while to Insure at atlT" was tha eloalng query of an artlela* upon fire insurance which I read tn a recent tome of the Hckai d. The aitlela referred u> had taken iuu> consideration the trials sod tribulations so often encountered by the insured In the effort to recover collect the amount stipulated hi policy.. * While It can hardly he stated as a fact that no one Insured for loss by fire has ever hern known to befnll£loU»flrd with lbs Mtihuneot of his losses, vet there does •sem to be many esses where the li who have been losers by the Heines, do •tot feel that they have bean lalrly dealt with. The lutrteacles of the stipulations and sgreemeuls, the Ifa, suds and bnts i to be found kutensovsu lu the wording ol tbs ordinary policy are aomewbal bewildering, and ooe must read understaodlugly, indeed, to form anything like a Ides *> to what standing bis claim would Lave under certain ixlgeocies and

contingencies.

It Is only-fair to assume that Insurant-* companies are •‘not in business for fun." as Is often remarked, and cannot be expected*to pay out moneys which it Is possible to retain In their treasuries; therefore tl is ibeliB to bold down their psymems for lys»e» to the strict letter of the word lug of their agreements with tbs Insured Fine buildings aud tnagnifioently furnished offices, princely salaries tnnfficisle. large com mi talons to agents aud as big dSridrnda as possible to stockholders, bold first consideration. Insurance compdS'.-. must figure for profit as well as any other ooi poration or business house, of oo One source of trouble. I think. Is free disposition to conclude, in many canes of mysterious fires, that luoeodisr. ism, f rom s desire to “best" the insurem* company, is responsible for the disaster. Tbe person wbo would destroy bis own property is s criminal under the law, and he who would do so to Hence an iDsarsnocompsnv or companies, deserves all the punishment the law can meet out to him. But, I am convinced that io many cases owners of property are misjudged or come beneath suspicion which the facta, if known, would not warrant. Tbfe recent destruction of Marine Villa gave rise IS all aorta of rumors and suspicions of one kind or another. The fact that the owners bad just completed repairs which bad coat two or three thousand dollars, was one sufficiently la evidence to prevent any suspicion ot lociinMsrism upon their part, and this together with reputable standing of the Insured, would not allow the faintest suspicion ot that sort, lu looking about for the cause of U e fire the ni sc trie wiring came under suspicion, aa did also spontaneous combustion. I believe the latter to have been tbe cause. If rags or paper used in the painting, graining, aulniug or vsmiahiug were thrown into a corner, into s closet, or anywhere confiind from the air; they

would Ignite.

In proof of this 1 could relate an iucL dcut which cocurrud in my own bouse within two hours after tbe cloths had been used. Had tbe bouse twee cluaed, tbe Ignition not discovered lu time, there would have been trouble and ho*. And this Is the moat important part of my comment—that gloat care should be exercised lu throwing out of doors ■troying all such articles. Then there will be fewer mysterious fires.

Can the majestic flow of the water over the brink of Niagara Fails, the irresistablc rush and scurry ol the foaming rapids, the wild acenic beauty .of the deep rocking ravine through hichthey flow and the halo of *prav and rainbow ever hovering over the spot, be well described as other than . marvelous ? In froth the whole environs ot tbe Falls are ao marvelous that human thought is unable to describe its wonders and they must be

seen to be appreciated.

The best way to ranch Niagara Falla from this vicinity at a low ratt is to take advantage of one of the Philadelphia & Reading's Tcn-Dollar Ten-Day personally conducted excursions via the Reading-Lehigh Route. The dates lor tbc balance of season arc September totb and

a6th and October Sth.
