The MONTANA CONSPIRACY. The

The Pan AMERICAN CONGRESS The

America to the Pan-American Congress
have about completed their trip. They
freely express their amazemen at
what they have seen, and ali recognize
the fact that something should be done
20 increase the trade between their
countries aud tins. They are not
agreed. however, as to the best method
OF bringing this about. Some
favor suUsldiziDg steamship lines
and others think through

America should be constructed. II
nothing better is suggested it may be a
long time before there Is any improve

AND A VERY BAD BLACK EyE, Too
Since the Virginia election Harris IN is
able to say Malone was not my per
sonal candidate, and the effor, to make
1t appear so is unjustifiable. This dis
covery would not have been made had
Mahone been elected. There is 10
question thai he was aided by all the

well as the National COMMITTEE. The
result Is a black eve for the Admiuis-

CONSOLIDATION AND CONSEQUENCES
Mr. II, pew and Mr.. Huntington repre-
sent great railroad systems. but differ
regarding the proper policy for rail
roads. Mr. Huntington welcomes and
regards with hopefulness the tendency
toward consolidation. Mr.. ID, pew
urges. as the Tribune has more than
once urged. that any consolidation of
interests. under whatever name or
form would bsJeearded as q trust. or
as a conspiracy against the public to
raise rates. and would stimulate IN st
unfrendly Legislation. The practical ex-
perience of Mr.. Depew IN Northern
States has made him keenly appreciate
the consequences Of arousing a hostile
public sediment. Mr.. Huntingdon has
perhaps been more fortunate in his ex-
perience IS tothe relations of railroads
with State and Territorial Governments.

BERLlN'S BROADWAY.

The Shops, the Fashion and the Great Men
OF Inter den Linden.
Inter den Linden is q very disap-
pointing street to the typical Ameri-
can tourist who does Berlin in a day.
He expects to find a throughfare of
imperial magnifcence. After driving
from the Bradenburger Thor to the
palace once or twice he leaves the
German capital with q vague impress
sion of a broad street containing two
fair roadways and a promenade
bordered with double rows of scrubby
trees. The palace. the universityread
the museums, aside from the buildings
of the National Art Gallery, are an in
different-looking lot of blerls houses.
The famous shops and cafes look or
binary enough to men who know
Broadway. The big hotels would
make q poor showing beside the Fifth
Avenue or the Windsor.
To a Berliner all this seems differ
emit. however. He knows that for
many generations Inter den Under
has been the pride of the house of
H~ohenzollern. He read, when a child.
how the lindens and chestnuts there
awere pkGnted and nurtured under the
care of a Prussian Queen. He can
never forget that the Great Kurfurst
and the Great Frederick hoped to
make 1t the finest street in Europe.
With all these "reminiscences in his
mind, he Isl to claim for it
all the grandeur imaginable.
The real attraction, Inter den Lin
den, however, is not the street itself.
1t is the life that surges up and down
its pavements between three and FIVE
o'clock every pleasant afternoon. The
best dressed women In Germany crowd
its broad walks. Scores of young
Lieutenants in bright red-and-black
uniforms saunter along among them.
Occasionally a white-haired, white
bearded officer, with broad red stripes
down the sides of his trousers and an
iron cross on his breast. marches

generally means that he has been very

The Marvellous and Daring Horsemanshfp
of Mexican Youngsters.
One of the finest and most inspirit-
ing sights of small-town life in Mexico
is the Craftsmanship of the boys from
eight to seventeen-perfect young
Centaurs, as much at home in the
saddle as Arabs. How they go thun-
dering through the streets, what mar
vellous short turns the, make, and
how simultaneously thes come to a
short, sharp stop in a hsladlong gall
lop! These country town. of Mexico
are the nurseries, so to speak, of the
National cavalry, an arm ofsthe service
in which Mexico excels. THE finest
sight in the world, one on which the
godSmust look down appfovingly, is
a high-spirited lad astride a good
horse. A Mexican boy takes to the
back Of a horse as a Cape Cod boy
does to a boat. At no age is a rider
bolder than in that enchanted period
of existence lying between childhood
and manhood.

die, will enjoy himself hugely horse
back. He early learns to use the rope
or RATA, and, beginning with lassoing
dogs and pigs, he advances to mules
and cows, and finally essays the roping
of a lively bull. So expert do they
become that in var they frequently
drag their enemies from their saddles
by a skilful cast of the rope. Some of
my younger friends here seem to me
to live on horseback. They come
home at noontime to snatch q bite, as
most boys will, but off they are again
on their tireless horses. They have
the good fortune to live in a country
which enjoys a climate which makes
out-of-door life possible all the year
round, and the country lad, continu-
ally on horseback, grows up straight,
robust and daring.-Mexico Cor. Bos-
ton Herald.

A Respectable Nobleman.

Lord William Nevill is a younger son
of Lord Abergavenny, and a few yeats
ago he shocked his father-who is the
most virulent of Protestants-by be-
coming a Roman Catholic. The out
ragged parent promptly cut his erring
son off with ''the customary but in
sufficient shilling" The young man,
very much to his credit, Immediately
set to work on his own account, and
joined a wine merchants business, in
which he has prospered SO well that
the firm now trades under the name of
Hatch & Nevill. Lord William, who
besides being a consummate Judge of
the commodity he sells, is one of the
best-looking and b~est-dressed young
men in London, has now captivated
the affections of a great heiress, Miss
Muriettsp The Muriettas are a family
of Spanish merchants living in Lon
don, and Mr.. Murietta was lately en-
nobled under the title of Marquis of
Santuree. He has bought Lord Gran
ville's great house in Carlton House
terrace. He has no son, and his
daughter and heiress is to be Lady
