SETTLEMENTS CHIEFLY ON THE COAST Dense Jun the Interior—Mule Paths and Abandoned Portae Isthmus Sorely in Need of Sa ton, The territory of Panama, embracing the larger part of the isthmus, extends east and west about 460 miles measured in a straight !ine. It adjoins the Republic of Costa Rica on the west Panama and Costa Rica have a long- standing boundary. dispute, and no one pre- tends to know how Tt will finally be decided The boundary shown on this map is that adopted by the best cartographers pending the decision of the dispute. Neaur the boundary on the Carribbean side in Boca del Toro, the fine inlet protected by islands, which was oceupled last week by a force despatched by the new govern- ment In pursuance of its policy tq keep armed detachments at the principal inlets along the coasts, particularly on the Car- ribbean, o long as Colombla may maintain hostile attitude. The eastern boundary is the Gulf of n | Darlen and the Atrato river, which s navi- gable almost to its source, in northwestern Colombla. The river would not be promi- nent in any hostilities that Colombia might contemplate, because muddy. bars at its mouth preyent entrance to any but the «mallest vessels, and to take troops down Panama would involve the crossing almost impassable mountain ranges. We have a little island in the Pacific, Guam, which to some extent reproduces the conditions found on the Isthmus of Pan ama, though Guam is far more healthful Our government has made a map of Guam, in which are shown all the indentations and towns along the coast, but the interior entirely blank except that one little mountain is shown in the northern part from the top of which about & third of the tsland may be seen. of Tropleal Jungles. The jungle s ®o dense on Guam that habitation is confined to the coast and even the natives Have never penetrated {nland. It is on account-of the dense thickets of | the tropical jungles which cover nearly the | whole of Panama also that our knowledg | of the interfor of the Isthmus is still very unsatisfactory When the American geologist, Robert T. Hill, made « geologi nnalssance through the {sthmus several years ago he | reported that our khowledge of the higher summits and the topography of the country beyond the low drainage valleys opening on the oceans was very deficient. We know, however, that most of the interior s thickly sprinkled with hills and low moun- talng most Irregularly distributed. The courses of the larger rivers have been traced and also some of the tributaries, and the courses of some smaller tributaries liave been inferred from the lay of the land. But while most of the territory of Panama is nninhabited except by scattered bands of Indlans, there are a few Small arcas of treeless upland country, particu- larly along the Pacific coast north of the city of Panama, where a considerable num- ber of settlements are found and agricul- ture is followed. The towns and hamlets are scattered over these upland regions or dotted along the coasts, particularly on (he inlets, or planted in the interior along some of the waterways within easy reach of the sea or along the line of the Isthmian raflroad, between the cities of Panama~and Colan, where the population is most dense. Estimates of Population. Panama s supposed to have about 250,000 inhabitants; but no census has ever been taken, and these figures are based only upon an official estimate by the Colombian government. The difficulties of travel and the {ll-famed climate have made the isth- mus so unattractive to residents from for- elgn lands that they have added little to our knowledge of the people and country except in the neighborhood of the rallroad. One of the most recent books, written by a physielan who was for two years in the service of the Panama Canal company, is entirely glven to the region between Pan- ama and Colon. The writer apparently saw no other part of the country. Some of the towns are well worth men- tioning. David is the capital of Chirlqui province and stands within twelve miles of the Pacific on a grassy plain, flanked on the morth by the superb cone of Chiriqul. Not far away Is Bugaba, near where were discovered old graves full of gold orna- ments, which, in 1860, gave the Chiriquil district a temporary renown as a new El Dorado. One grave in about twenty or twenty-five cortained gold or copper ob- jects, chiefly figures of animals, particu- larly frogs, that were evidently worn as amulets by the natives. Some 1,500 gold seekers were attracted to the spot and ex- hausted the supply after treasures worth about $200,000 had been unearthed. Nata is one of the oldest settlements fn America, dating from 1612, some time be- fore the name of Mexico was known in Europe. The city of Panama owes all its celebrity to its vital position at the narrowest part of the isthmus. It has flourished or de- clined according to the routes followed by international trade. The work on the De Lesseps canal gave it & period of great prosperity, but it has languishied in recent years. It is Ao won- der that the people of Panama and Colon were cut to the quick by the way in which the Colomblan government has trified with thelr interests; for they can have enduring prosperity only by the carrying out of the only canal enterprise. Under the old regime of Spain th Meb of soniminlobiion: bitwors O CHe oceans was one simple mule path crossing the Isthmus from Panama to Porto “Bello on the Atlantic side.

Unfavorable Climate. The deadly Thagres fever raged so there that the port was practically abandoned and Chagres became the Atlantic terminus of the lxlhmi-u-rmuv from Panama. But Chagres soon Won fame as a hotbed of marsh fevers and the population rapidly Qisappeared. A new port was founded, therefore, which was called Colon in honor of Columbus, who discovered the bay. It became known also as Aspinwall, from the name of one of clty has a water supply age system. P The women washed solled clothes in the streams and the people get thelr water from the same streams. Nearly every mdy be found there, and the fiith of cen turies Is kept under some of the houses. He sald that before the United States could begin work on the completion af th thorough sanitary improvements should be made. With sanitary control and dincipline exercised by the United States the greatest difficulties that have hitherto beset the Isthmus of Panama would be re moved The conditions of the isthmus would ba no worse than that of other damp tropical countries. The hills along the line of canal would Turnigh sites for gardens residences.

There dled in Brookiyn—146 Lawrence street—on Saturday morning last a lady whose span of life covered an even century, whose memory went back to George IIT, who was £ years 0ld when Thomas Jeffer- son died, and who was a mature woman of 34 when Samuel F. Morse filed his caveat In the Washington patent office for the electro-magnetic telegraph. She was § years old when Thackeray was born and 9 vears old when Dickens was born. Mrs. Marlé Plgrum Harrison wag the old lady’'s name and she was born In Hampton parish, Middlesex, about twelve miles from London, England, in the month of Novem- ber, 1803. Her father, she was fond telling, was bootmaker to George 111, and It was in the vicinity of Hampton Court palace that she frequently saw that potentate l the course of the rambles about the neighborhood which history describes Farmer George as fond of taking. Mrs, Harrison was a handsome and sprightly voung girl when George ITI dled, but her recollection of him went back to the time when she was a little child and when one day as the king met her in his rambles he stopped and spoke to her, and chucked her under the chin, as Mrs. Harrlson always related in recalling the incident It was not until she was a married women of 8 years that she came with her husband to this country, and for ¢4 years—longer than the avers lifetime of people who are considered pretty well on in years when they die~she lived in the United States John Willlam Bristow Harrison, whom Mrs. Harrison married on the 17th of April, 1835, In St. Mark's church,« Kensington, England, was in the dramatic line, and when he came with his wife to this country. he joined the dramatic company then en gaged at Barnum's Museum, at Broadway and Ann street, where the sky-scraping 8t. Paul building now stands. Both Mr. Harrison and his wife became celebrated in what were known as monologue acts, and Mr. Harrison got much reputation as an impromptu -singer,- composing both the words and the music as he went along and often taking somebody in the audience as the toplc and 'inspiration of his song. ‘The Harrisons were, 10ng assoclated with Barnum, and with him and fn other theatri- cal ventures went all over the country.

One of the things which Mrs. Harrlson was particdlarly fond of recalling was her acquaintance with Tom Thumb. Lavinia ‘Warren, Commodore Nutt and &1l that by- gone generation of midgets. It was she who was accustomed to introduce Tom Thumb and all the!rest of them fo the spectators, and it was her husband who concelved the idea of having & public ceres mony when General Thumb and Miss Lav- Inla Warren were marrjed A Among the many curios which Mr&, Har- rison hed got together In her long lifetime and her wide travels weme many of the lliputian shoes and other articles of wear- Aisense | the | which has | of | Ing apparel which had been Worn by celebrated midgets.

Miss Jenkins, who !s 19 years old, was walking south in Michigan avenue shortly after 8 o'clock, when twe young men seized her hands and held them until they could unfasten her watch from a chain. _One of the men made a motion as it to seine the [ 2.50. silver chatelaipe bag which hung from the young woman's belt, when he suddenly stopped and looked Into her face. “NO, 1 won't take It,” the robber he i too pretyy for anything.'
