Inc last session of the Peruvian Congress-
voted an appropriation OF SIS ZOO, 900 for in
ternal Improvements. A,thousb ,ba nav
bonds have not vet been negotiated two
more contracts have been entered into w;,h
Mr.. Meiggs, and work under them sctivslv
commenced. Que contract is for the hn;l5.
ing of a railroad from llo to Moouerua- in
the southern part of the republic, at cost of
six millions of soteS the other. for railroad
which is projected to connect Pacasmavo. ON
the coast north of Lima, with Caiarmaca in
the interior, the theatre of the capture and
murder of the Inca, Atahualpa, hg pizarro,
The entire cost of this work will be about
twenty-seven million SoloS, although the con.
tract only provides for section to be built at
present. Under the new appropriation.
work has also been commenced on the con-
sinuation OF the Puno road toward Cuzco. A
road is projected to be built from Huaraz. ia
the mountains north Of Lima. through a rich
mineral district to Chimbote. on the coast.
One bid for the construction has been made
at thirty-six millions Of SoleS. Probably, if
built at all, 1t will be done hy Mr.. Meiggs.

Besides the roads enumerated, being bulls
at the expense of the Government, private
capital is enlisted in others. The Lima and
lluacho road, which passes along the coast to
the north of Lima, has been completed as far
as Caancay, distance of forty miles. The
Pisco and lea road, in the grape producing
district. is nearly completed. Two roads are
under way. one nearly completed. from ports
on the coast, across the deserts to the vast
deposits of saltpetre. A narrow-guage road
is also projected from the silver mines Of
Cerro de Pasco toward the valley of Jauia,
on the east of the sumrnits of the Andes, in

WOMEN AND WINE.--Of the worst foes that
women ever had to encounter, wine stands at
the head. The appetite for strong drink in
men has spoiled the lives of more women
ruined more hopes for them, scattered more
fortunes for them, brought to them more
shame, sorrow and hardship-than any other
evil that lives. The country numbers tens of
thousands-nay, hundreds of thousands-of
women who are widows to-day, and sit in
hopeless weeds because their husbands have
been slain by strong drink There are hun.
dreds Of thousands of homes scattered over
the land, in which women live lives oftorture.
going through all the changes of suffering that
lie between the extremes of fear and despair.
because those whom they love, love wine bet
ter than they do the woman they have sworn
to love.
There are woman by thousands who dread
to hear at the door the step that once thrilled
them with pleasure, because the step has
learned to reel under the influence of the Sc
ductive poison. There are women grooming
with pain while we write these words from
bruises and brutalities inflicted by husbands
made mad by drink. There can BIO no exag-
geraticn in any statement made in regard to
this matter, because no human imagination
can create anything worse than the truth, and
no pen is capable of portraying the truth.
The sorrows and the horrors Of wife with
drunken husband, or a mother with drunk
Ell son, are as near the realization of hell as
can be reached in this world, at least The
shame, the indignation, the sorrow. the sense
of disgrace for herself and her children, the
poverty--and, not unfrequently, the beggary
the fear and the fact of violence, the lin
gering, lifelong struggle and despair of
countless women with drunken husbands are
enough to make ali women to curse wine, and
engage unitedly to oppose it everywhere as
the worst enemy of their sex.
