Brazil now really tasted a sort of republi-
members composing the regency were
elected by the legislative chambers. In
1884 there was change to q single regent
chosen by all the electors in the same man
ncr as the deputies. and the councils of the
provinces were replaced by legislative pro-
vincial assemblies. This was getting pretty
close To the ways of the United States. All
you had to do was to call the regent presi-
dent and there you were. But republican,
ism did not thrive. Fcijoc, the regent, was
accused of conniving at the rebellion
in the province. of Rio Grandc.
and was forced to resign, and
Aranjo Lima, minister of the home de-
strong monarchical flavor, was chosen in
his stead. But the people were weary of
rcpublcanisln and wanted ,nctlling even
more monarchical that Lima's regency.
There was an attempt to give the regency
into the hands OF the Princess Donna Jan
maria, then III her eighteenth year, but it
was finally decided that an emperor of four
teen ought to govern rs well as princess
ofeiglteen, and so, after noisy discussion
bill was passed overlooking the age of the
emperor and declaring him to be u 'man

of yellow fever on slave ships, the first that
was known of it in the country. Pablic

A Little Girl Carried Out Over Lake
Michigan by Toy balloons.
CHICAGO, August 1Sth-Little two-year-
old Sophie Schwab involuntarilv became a
balloonist to-day and was waited high up
over the broad bosom Of Lake Michigan.
A rifleman's skill saved the child's life. The
exciting incident took place at Sheffield
Park, and was witnessed by $4,000 pic
nickers.
An Italian peddler of toy balloons at
tempted to serve two purchasers at once
and in doing so let go his string of bright
colored globes. The cord got twisted about
Sophie's left arm and also in her hair, and
the bouyant rubber bubbles started heaven
ward taking the youthful aeronaut along.
Sophies mother shrieked and tainted
while the bystanders stood horror-strick ken,
scarcely breathing, as the balloon swept
close 10 large oak tree and the infant
grasped handful of twigs and checked
her flight. A muscular young German
was ascending the tree in an instant, and
then crept out on branch. At this
moment Sophies puny strength gave out
and the balloon, suddenly released, went
sgain upward at least 900 feet drifting
them out over the lake.
Gus Koch, sharpshooter who was at
tending the picnic with his repeating rifle,
hurriediy jumped into skiff with two
companions and pulled out into range.
Koch succeeded in piercing several of The
balloons successfully. Each shot DESTROYED
its buoyancy and it began to descend. Be-
fore it finally reached the water a boat was
at the spot and little Sophie didn't even
get her feet wet.
