ENGLAND YIELDS GRACIOUSLY w Neutrality of Proposed Great Water way Is Provided For, But Stars And Stripes Will Proudly Float Over It. A Washington special says: The new Hay-Pauncefote treaty—signed by John Hay on the part of the United States, and Lord Pauncefote on the part of England—providing for the construction of a canal across the Isth mus of Panama, which was sent to the senate Thursday, is, in part, as fol lows: The United States of America and his majesty Edward VII of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the seas, king and emperor of India, being desirous to facilitate the con struction of a canal to connect the At lantic and Pacific oceans, by whatev er route that may be considered expe dient, and to that end to remove any objection which may arise out of the convention of the 19th of April, 1850, commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the construction of such ca nal under the auspices of the govern ment of the United States without im pairing the “general principle” of neu tralization established in article 8 of that convention, have for that purpose appointed as their plenipotentiaries: The president of the United States; John Hay, secretary of state of the United States of America, and his maj esty, Edward VII of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British dominions beyond the seas, king and emperor of India; the Rt. Hon. Lord Pauncefote, G. C. 8., G. C. M. G., his majesty’s ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the United States; Who, having communicated to each other their full powers, which were found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following arti cles: Then follows articles one to five In clusive. Article I states that the high con tracting parties agree that the pres ent treaty shall supersede the afore mentioned convention of the 19th of April, 1850. It is agreed in article two that the canal may be constructed under the ai.rpices of the government of the United States, either directly at its own cost, or by gift or loan of money to individuals or corporations, 01 through subscription to or purchase of stock, or shares, and that subject to the provisions of the treaty, the said government shall have and enjoy all the rights incident to such consul ?• tion, as well as the exclusive right of providing for the regulation and man agement of the canal. Article three sets forth that the canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing these rules on terms of entire equality so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation, or its citzens, or subjects, in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such conditions and charges of traffic shall be just and equitable. The canal shall never be blockaded, nor shall any right of war be exorcised, nor any act of hostility be committed within it. The United States, however, shall be at liberty to maintain such military police along the canal as may be necessary to pro tect it against lawlessness and disor der. Article five provides that the pres ent treaty shall be ratified by the pres ident of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the senate thereof, and his Britannic majesty, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London or at Washington at the ear liest possible time, within six months from the date hereof.

A PECULIAR DOUBLE TRAGEDY. trolley Kills Man and Is Ditched —Re- lief Car Sent Repeats the Horror. A peculiar and remarkable double tragedy occurred Monday night on the East Point line of the Atlanta, Ga., Railway and Power Company. A farmer, W. J. Smith, was killed between East Point and Fort McPher son about 6:30 o’clock, and the car that was sent out to relieve the car that killed him, killed a second man whose name could not be learned, and his horse on the return trip to Atlanta. The first man killed was W. J. Smith, of Palmetto, a well-to-do farm er. He transacted some business in Atlanta and started back home on foot. He was about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and children. The car cut his body half in two and then jumped the track and plowed through the earth for nearly one hundred yards. Smith was killed instantly, hardly knowing what struck him. The pas sengers in the car were greatly frig l .-.- ened and shaken up. The accident occurred between East Point and Fort McPherson. Smitn was walking along the car track, prob ably having left the road to avoid the damp chert. He was not seen until the car was too close upon him to be stop ped. It was at a point where pedes trirns are never known to go and there was no reason to suspeef that a per son should be walking along that part of the track at such an hour. When the news of the killing of Smith reached the city and it wai re ported that the car that caused the ac cident had been ditched, another car was sent out to take Its place. The second car when coming into the city about 11 o’clock, ran into a buggy at a crossing between West End and Oak land City. The buggy was smashed'into kindling, the horse was killed and the man crushed to death. Both bodies were brought to the city and turned over to an undertaker. JOINS RANKS OF EMBEZZLERS.

The best glass for cutting purposes is flint glass, made very thick. This flint glass is made at different factories and is extremely heavy. Despite the fact that in cutting out the design half the raw article is removed, a finished bowl or jar ,*t>f moderate size will weigh as much as six or eight pounds. The work is done by holding the ob ject at just the right angle against a swiftly moving jgheel on a lathe, the glass being kept wet by a stream of water. The first work in the process is to mark the design on the glass with a pigment, and after the glass is deeply cut along the lines traced the pattern is gradually developed. Nat urally, the tracing being quickly re moved, the greater part of this deli cate work depends upon the correct ness of the eye and hand of the work man. The cutting is first done coarsely and incompletely, this work being known as roughing. The roughing is done on what is termed a steel mill set in a lathe, water being used to aid in wearing away the hard glass. Then comes the process of smoothing, which is accomplished by means of a rapidly revolving stone. The final process of polishing is done by means of a wood en wheel. Considerable glass is re moved in the process of smoothing, so that in the roughing-in process care is taken not to make the cutting too deep. Cut glass is particularly liable to breakage on account of the difference in its thickness. It may be half an inch thick in one place and eighth of an inch thick in another, amf* as variations of temperature naturally cause the different thicknesses to ex pand at a different rate, cracks, are li able to follow. One of the cflF la Seauties of cut glass to those who 'afford to pay for it lies in the fact that it is impossible to counterfeit Jr imitate it.

It killed 190,000 people. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last fow years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to boa constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

Polly's cage, when at the seaside, h:sng upon a piazza where the little children were in the habit of studying aloud. The bird, apparently listening, would make an effort to repeat what she could catch. Then suddenly she would burst out with, I'll spell f-l-y r-a-t" (a strong emphasis on the R), continu ing with a low chuckle of satisfaction, and ending in a hearty and long-con tinued laugh at her success, the little ones joining in the chorus. She was very fond of the children. In the early morning, when her cage was opened to give her liberty, she would walk about for a time, climb the stairs to the children’s room, and crawl into their beds before time for rising. Coffee was almost absolutely necessary to her existence. She would call early and steadily for it in the morning, ad justing her tones according to the length of time spent in waiting—or dering, begging, beseeching, as the case might be, holding her cup, meanwhile, to hasten matters. Avery retiring, modest servant maid had been long in our employ. She had a follower named Thomas, who nightly paid his visit. It chanced one morning that Polly’s coffee had been long de layed. A gentleman of the house com ing to breakfast met the girl and made an inquiry regarding the meal. She turned to roply, facing the questioner, when Polly, seeing her opportunity for revenge, took it, and in a man’s voice called out: “Mary, how’s Thomas?’’ The woman retreated in confusion, while Polly laughed an ugly, low laugh; but the coffee was forthcoming. —Our Animal Friends.
