HhTper's Bazaar.
Chill, that far-away corner OF the world,
so remote in our imaglnings from great
centers OF civilization, is the home OF q
most remarkable woman.
Donna Isadora Cousino of Santiago at
the death Of her husband received from
him absolute control of his immense
possessions; she is now the owner of
mines, parks, ships, plantations, manu-.
factories, aud magnificent buildings, both
public and private. With queenly heart

owned by her, and its 5000 or 1000 inhab-
itants are dependent ON her for support:
IN the two towns of Lota and Coronel
she pays out monthly as wages from
100000 to 100000, most of this sum
returning through the supply stores,
where everything in the line Of food and
clothing is kept ready for her own people.
The only coal-mines in South America
are reckoned among her riches, assuring
her OF revenue of $500, 900 per month;
also may be mentioned copper and silver
smelting-works of great value, and feet
OF eight iron steamships.

orchards, and vineyards, and Gocks OF

are here employed.
Nine. Cousino, 1t IS said, is given to
costly extravagances; her erection of
palatial residence at Lota may perchance
be so regarded. Let 1t not be forgotten

Mississippi, and DR.. Harvey West Of the
board of Harrison county, made careful
and thorough investigation, and pro-
nounced it yellow fever beyond a
doubt. Their decision carries more
weight because when the disease
first broke out they thought 1t
simply malarial fever. They now change
their opinion and confess themselves mis-
taken in their former diagnosis. The ac-
ti9ns of Biloxlans in concealing the fever
when it made Its appearance, has aroused
a great deal of Indignation at all the
towns on the gulf coast, both in Louisiana
and Mississippi. Quarantines have been
poured on Biloxi from all sides to-day.
Ocean Springs, just opposite, has quar-
antined; Bay st. Louis, on their side, has
followed suit. The Louisville & Nashville
railway no longer stops its trains there,
and the town Is cut off from all the world.

ously wounded Mir. Frank M. Bell, q
broker OF this city. The trouble grew
out Of a combination on the part Of a
number Of grocery merchants OF this city
not 70 buy goods through the local
brokers. They were ali dissatisfied with
their action, and one Of the number read .
letter from his house, which had been
written by the firm Of Parker 4 Caldwell,
and tins letter coming In his hands, he
took offense at its contents and called
npon Mr.. Caldwell at his store and told
him the man who wrote the letter, or who
said its contents we're true, was id
liar, and applied other abusive epithets.
A number Of witnesses say he at the same
time put his hand behind him, when
Caldwell fred upon him. The bail passed
through his stomach and came out OF the
back and did not touch his bowels,
and the physicians say he may
recover. Both parties are young married
men and are well thought Of by the entire
community, and much regret is expressed
at the occurrence.

deter the heaviest ships from entering
such harbor as Topolobampo, the finest

The work of soliciting for the Brown
wood road subsidy begins this morning
and will be vigorously prosecuted. After
the work of the committee has progressed,
a public meeting viii be held az the opera
house and the balance needed asked for.
The subscriptions are to be made pay
able In four installmen-s OF 20 per cent

OF grading Is done, the second when
twenty-five miles OF track has been laid
and so on. The money subscribed, the
engineers will at once take the field, and

go to Granbury, Stephensvlle, Comanche

settled. When the fever frst appeared

was it pretended TO have been

are forty sick to-day, aud others being
