Even the inhabitants, in their Nazarine

though Guaymas claims 1000 within her

gates, her wa;er-works are of the same
character as those of the ancient Egyp-
tiaus. The chief description l shall give
of them is tho picture of one of the public
wells, Just in the suburbs of the town.
Multiply this by six or seven, throw in
two or three abandoned and dilapidated
ones that look like the ruins of Jericho,
and the description is as complete as it
can be made.
In one of the rooms of the American
Consul, Mr.. Willard, facing the principal
plaza, is lodged the piece OF shell,

There are very few good sesports in

While We were here tho United States fish
commission steamer "Albatross" came

that there were enough fishes in the Gulf
of California 10 supply all the markets of

Singularly enough, nearly all the great fish
supply in the gulf was along tho eastern
coast of this American Adr Itic, or on tho

along the coast of Lower California. A

William Henry Smith.

There are few journalists in America
who have had more varied and in
teresting career than William Henry
Smith, general manager of the Associ-
ated Press, New York. William Henry
Smith first saw the light of day in Co
lumbia County, New York, on the LIST
of December, 1888, and is descended
from two old English families. His
father, William DeForrest Smith, who
was born in Litchfeld County, Con-
necticut, in 1905, was grandson Of
Bethel Smith, of Kent, who was 9
grandson of Rev. Henry Smith, a cler-
gvman well known in the Connecticut
valley. His mother was daughter of
Deacon Story Cobb, of Spencertown,
Columbia County. who was lieuten-
ant in the army during the Revolution
airy war, and was descended from Daniel
Cobb, who settled in the Connecticut
valley prior to 1890, The family was
of Dutch origin and came to America
for religious freedom. The parents of
W. II. Smith emigrated to Ohio and
settled on the Darby Plain, in Union
County, In 1885, when the subject of
this sketch was about two years old.

He, being of studious turn of mind,
was given the advantage of thorough
education. Subsequently he was tutor
in Western college, and then assistant
editor of weekly paper in Cincinnati,
OF which at the age of twenty-five, he
became editor, doing also editorial work
on the Literary Review" At the out
break Of the late civil war he was on

Gazette, and during the war he took
an active part in raising troops and for
warding sanitary supplies, and in po
l't'cal work for strengthening the gov

in bringing Gov. John Rroush to the
front as the candidate Of the united Re
publicans and war Democrats, and at
Bnugh's election, in 1868, he became
the latter's private secretary. The next
year he was elected secretary of state
on the Union ticket by majority of
about 10000. and was reelected in
1866, He retired from public Office to
establish the Euening Chronicle at
Cincinnati, but his health giving way
he was forced to withdraw from all nc
tive work. In January, 1870, he took
CIulSe Vi tic ullalFS OF tne w DStern AS
sociated Press, with headquarters at
Chicago. In 1877 he was appointed by
President Hayes collector of the port at
that city, and was instrumental in
bringing about important reforms in
customs methods in harmony with the
civil-service policy of the administra-
ton. In January, 1888, he effected the
union of the New York Associated
Press with the Western Associated
Press, and became general manager
of the consolidated association. Mr..
Smith is a student of historical sub
iects. He is author of The St.
Clair Papers" a biography of Charles
Hammond, and many contributions
to American periodicals. He has
partly completed political His
