WASHINGTON LETTER. from our lingular < k>r renpondr nl. t Washington, August, 17 I!M>3. ; Kttilor Cable communication is again established between the I States and Bogota, the capital of of Colombia, but t lie first news re ceived from that point in several » j t_ • t j weeks is by no means encouraging ! for the ratification of the Panama s canal treaty and the advocates of ' , the Xicaraguan route are much en » couraged. No test vote has been b | taken in the Colombian Congress, ' but in committee ;t large number .! of amendments were adopted by a I vote of 17 to '2 and the two mem r J s ! bers who voted negatively are in <■ | favor of the entire repudiation of ! the treaty. Senator Culloui has been in Oyster Bay in conference ; | with the President regarding the ' | possibility of getting the acceptance ; of the treaty by the Senate in its r i amended form and he plainly told ' | that he believed there was little j liklihood of the Senate's sanction -1 ing any changes in the convention. Dr. llerran. the Colombian charge | d'affaires in Wishiingfcon still i maintains a hopeful attitude but it j is believed that he is almost hoping j against hope. By the provisions ; of the Spooner law. under which i the treaty with Colombia was nego , tiated with Nicaragua and Costa i liica in the event that negotiations 1 with Colombian fail and the repre ! sentatives of those governments I are on the ground and ready to ' complete a treaty under the most ! favorable terms. i A report has been received in I Washington from Oyster Bay to j the effect that there is a possibility j of the President's calling Congress | in extraordinary session, even be fore the date heretofore announced, November 9. This report is be lieved to have grown out of a statement made by Senator Aid rich in which he says "should the President call Congress in session in October or November." It is reported that the members of the subcommittee of the Senate com mittee on Finance, who have been | in Oyster Bay conferring with the President with regard to the finan cial bill they are charged with drafting, have urged upon Mr. | Roosevelt the advisability of autli i orizing Congress to take up the financial measure in advance of j the resolution necessary to put the i provisions of the Cuban treaty iu ! to effect and that the. President ! has refused to do so but has said he would call Congress even earlier | than had been anticipated, if that j were considered advisable by the ; members of the committee. Poli j ticians and officials in Washington ! are hoping the rumor to prove ! unfounded as they believe it would ' be a mistake to attempt to conveue | a session of Congress before the j local elections are over. Secretary Shaw, Comptroller of j the Currency Ridgely and former I secretary of the treasury John G. Carlisle, have all been at Oyster ; Bay to confer with the President I with regard to the needed financial ! legislation. Mr. Carlisle was in -1 vited to the conference because the ; President wishes, in so far as may be, to defer the views of the i democrats and thus insure a large majority for a measure which he and his advisors regard as so es sential to the future welfare of the country. In this connection it is pointed out that the financial market is in a somewhat precarious condition and a scarcity of money, when it becomes necessary to send i funds west to move the crops, might be attended with disastrous results. This argument is doubt less another that is beingused with the President in favor of an extra 1 early session.

It , 11.1- been our observation that the man who, in keeping company with a ; young lady, atiyi to an unreasonable late j hour. unl<-—t there are special reason- Cor •«» doing. is a young man to l»e shuned, and he usually niak'-s a dismal failure of his woing. A young uian who has not got brains enough to a«k for his hat at a reasonable hour, say 10:30 p. in., should be given his bat and asked to come again "no tuoie." Late hour sparking soon makes a bad mess of fiiendship. and well it should, lor it has not been known to come of good intentions, and a young lady who wishes to sustain her good character, will not tolerate a young man Hho lingers to a late hour. She will find that his lingering is not love, and the •juieker she dismisses him from her socie j ty the better. Police Brutality. There are many policemen who have ; an exaggerated and altogether incor rect idea of their importance and of the proper method of performing their du ties. There are many others who can not be accused of this mistake, and these are the best policemen on any force. The mace which all policemen wear is not given for the purpose of enforc ing order or command with a clubbing. The mace in intended only as a weapon of defense when the policeman is as saulted. A policeman has no right to j club a man who i 9 not violently resist ing arrest. And yet it is not uncommon to hear of victims of police brutaiity having been clubbed for no reason ex cept that they did not promptly obey an arrogant command of the policeman arresting them. The rights of the pub lic are never surrendered to tho police department, but this is a tact not always observed. On the other hand there are times when policemen exercise great forebear ance and refrain from hitting a man when circumstances might warrant the use of the mace. It cannot, therefore, be always concluded that because a man has been clubbed he is the victim of a police outrage. There are bad cit izens and good policemen, and vice versa. At the same time no policeman who uses his mace unlawfully should be permitted to escape punishment.— Harrisburg Telegraph.

The blind and cowardly spirit of evil is forever telling you that evil things are pardonable, and that you shall not die for them, and 1 that good things are impossible, and you need not live for them. If you believe these things you shall find some day.to your cost, that they are untrue. —Ruskin. One of the very best remedies that can be applied to a wound made by a rusty nail, and which is almost infallible in its cure, is to take a quantity of peach leaves, beat them to a pulp and then apply then) to the wound, and in a very j short time an improvement will be noted in the wound. At this season of the year, when so many persons are injured by tramping 011 rusty nails, this remedy should be noted.—Ex. From early years a boy should have, little money of his own, and learn how to save, and how to spend, and how to give away. The latter is the most important of the three, though every person does not know this. When a child goes to Sunday school it ought not to be his mother's penny or five cents he drops into the missionary en velope, but his own money, ap propriated by his own act. In- j less a boy has a little money of his j own he can neither save, spend nor I give it away. From the small j weekly amount given tho very little boy to the student at college, the steps may be slow, but the lesson of responsibility will be the same.

The wedding ring, according to Henry Swinburne of the seventeenth century, j was first designed by Prometheus and : fashioned out of adamant and iron by I Tubal Cain. He says that it was | "given by Adam to his son to this end I —that therewith he should espouse a i wife." Men were, as all women know, 1 deceivers ever, and some of these un scrupulous creatures were wont to wed ' with rings made of rushes, imagining | them to be less binding than a strong I and valuable ring. The bishop of Salls i bury, however, stepped in and forbade j this practice in 1217. | Silver was more frequently used than gold for wedding rings, and they were made in all kinds of shapes, some twisted, llk« two joined hands, or a pair of hearts stuck together with an arrow. Often they were adorned with precious stones and had "posies"—that is, scraps of verse—inside, such as: Fortune doth send you, hap It well or 111, This plain gold ring to wed you to your will.

Big Sis ter tried her l>est to make the way plain to no avail, and finally becoming exasperated, exclaimed: "Oh. follow your nose. Nan, and you will finally find the plaee." "Well, If you ever follow your nose," came the quick retort, "you will go up. and up, and up. and be an angel by and by. which you're not now."
