Dooley and Davenport, ends; Sterling and Nourse, tackles; Ferguson and McDonald, guards: Vv'aite, center; R. Fraser, quarterback;' Congressman Taylor's View of Govern ment's Purchase of Panama Canal When Uncle Sam purchased the Tan onia canal from the French he obtain ed the biggest bargain of the century, according to Representative Taylor of Alabama. Mr. Taylor, who is a mem ber of the appropriations committee, recently returned from a trip to the canal zone, and he called at the White House to tell the president that he lias been converted from an oppo nent of the Panama canal to a most enthusiastic supporter, in an inter view with a Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune he said: "I was simply amazed at the work I saw going ahead with such rapid strides under the army engineers. When the president gave the work to the army constructors he took a great step in the right direction. "Taken at the. valuation that our en gineers put upon it. the actual ap praisement of the work done by the French engineers before they sold the canal to us would have amounted to $.'J,0C0.0GO. so, you see, the United States got the greatest bargain of tiie century when it purchased the ditch. The Panama railroad Is another valu able asset. "It is a pity that everybody who Is interested in the subject cannot make n trip to the isthmus to see the work as it is. When the water is let in there will be a hike fifty-seven1 feet deep with an area of 170 scmare miles be tween the Gntuu dam and the Culebra cut. On that lake all the navies afloat could find maneuvering space, and 1 am confident that in time it will be come the greatest dry docking rendez vous in the world. , "Before I went to the Isthmus I be lieved the United States made a huge mistake dn adopting the Psuania jroj ect. I was in favor of the Nicaragua route. Now I am thoroughly and per manently converted."

I DONT, BUT WILL HEREAFTER. THE GRIGGSITES AT CHAUTAUQUA Dr. Griggs' Popularity There Has Given His Name to a Large and Loyal Army of Admirers. "The Griggsites" are the people, a numerous body, who go to the New York chautauqua for the fortnight that Dr. Edward Howard Griggs lec tures there, solely to take the studies for which he is the lecturer, religious ly attend his three lectures a day, and to disperse to their homes when his courses are over. So many and so enthusiastic are the Griggsites that they have won for Dr. Griggs the rep ultation of the most popular lecturer at the country's principal chautauqua. We are to hear him in Davenport at the Grand opera house, Dec. 9. when he comes to lecture under the auspices of the Tri-city Press club. AMUSEMENTS. WHY THE CORPS IS POPULAR United States Marines Represent High- , est Type of, Service. ; It is a circumstance highly credita ble to the recruiting officers of the United States marine corps that, while the army and navy are far behind with their enlistments,. the marine corps has been kept up .to.iis authorized quota of 9.0C0 men. ' Tiio fact,- alsu- speaks well for the treatment, of the men by their oflicers and for the general at tractions of the service. .. This latter consideration Is perhaps the most influential one. "Tell that to the marines" is au obsolete" phrase. The marine is nobody's fool. The work that ' tie... does; ..bbthCufloat and ashore, in foreign countries brings him con stantly before the eyes ef the world as a type of the American soldier. Such a career naturally appeals to ambitious and patriotic young men. That is why the ranks cf the marine corps are kept recruited with a minimum of effort, while the army and navy present their attractions in vain. The marine is an amphibious ani mal; he is equally at home on land or on sea. He is not to be confounded with the blue jacket, though he is sub- THE MARKETS. Chicago, Dec. 4.
