uce Augustin Iturbide, about
.e papers are making such ado
ng his Imprisonment in Mexico.


4e papers are making such ado
ng his imprisonment in Mexico,
well known young fellow in Wash
Iington, where he has spent much of his
life and where his mothers family all
live. He is about 20 or 81, quite well be-
haved and good looking, but not remark
able. He is lieutenant of artillery now
in the Mexican army, but he is the grand
son of an emperor and was the adopted
son and heir of Macmillan. There
wasn't anything particularly imperial
about the Iturbides though, the Emperor
Lturbide having been a soldier of fort
une, who was overthrown and shot in
1919.
The rest of the family emigrated here,
where Augustin Iturbides father mar
ried Miss Green, of Washington They
had this one son. During the troubled
reign of Macmillan it occurred to him
that, as the Iturbides were popular with
the masses, it would be good idea to
adopt Augustin. His parents agreed on
condition that certain large sums of
money and titles of which the Iturbides
had been unjustly deprived should be re-
stored to them The bargain was made,
the 2-year-old child delivered and Max
imilian and Carlotta, after formally
adopting him, appeared in public with
the child seated between them in their
state carriage. But the mother, as she
journeyed away from Mexico, felt her
heartstrings more and more wrenched
by the separation. At Puebla she turned
back to demand her child.
The Iturbides behaved very hand
somely in foregoing all their claims to
the money and titles, as far as their re-
cent bargain was concerned. The En-
peror Macmillan, though, refused to
give him up, and the miserable mother
worked the whole power of the state de-
part1nent at Washington to recover her
child. At last, however, when things
were getting desperate with Macmillan,
he gave the child to the archbishop of
Mexico, with orders to convey it to Ha-
vana and deliver it to its parents. Along
with it Macmillan sent all of the mag
nificent presents he and the empress had
given it, for there seems no doubt that
much of their reluctance to part with it
came from strong affection for the child.

Found a Centipede in Her Strawberries.
AS Mrs. W. N. Furey, of Paris, was
preparing some strawberries for dinner
she had very bad scare. The berries
were in a large vessel of water, into
which Mrs. Furey dipped her hands, and
on taking them out was Mortified to see
large centipede clinging to one of them.
A vigorous shake only served to make it
clutch her hand still stronger, and it was
only by hard blow she succeeded in
dislodging it. Very fortunately it was
so chilled by the water it did not bite
her and she escaped uninjured.

A RED REGIMENT.

Secretary Proctor has evolved out of
his own head scheme which is emil
ncntly picturesque. He proposes to re-
cruit for service in the regular army a
regiment of 900 Indians. He will have
them oficcrcd by West Point graduates,
but the subordinate places are to be filed
with Indians who have been educated in
the schools east.
A gallant cavalry regiment these young
rcd men would makc-none braver, no
better riders anywhere. They would be
of great use on the Indian frontier. The
scmi-wild life would suit them. The
plan is well worthtrying. 1t is one more
step towards breaking in the Indian to
the usagcs of civilization. 1t is true
there are one or two little drawbacks
that might interfere at first. One would
be the hereditary tendency of the red SOL
dicrs to scalp conquered enemy, black,
red or white.
One drawback would be the insupera-
bic objection the gallant red man has to
wearing trousers. If the United States
government can overcome this objection,
IL will effect reform the accomplished
Col. Cody, with prayers and tears and
all his magnetic powers of persuasion,
has never been able to inauguratc in his
Wild West show.

A MONSTER PETITION.

The immense petition of citizens of
New York and Brooklyn for the pas
sage of ballot reform law, was pre-
sented to the New York legislature
on March 3. This petition contains
81 IA signatures from the city of
New York and more than 10000
from Brooklyn. 1t is not the largest
petition in point of signatures ever
presented to legislative body from
single locality, but it is contained
in by far the largest book that was
ever made. The book is 26 inches
wide, 80 inches long, eight feet thick
and weighs half a ton. Each section
is composed of a wooden back, 212
are riveted so single sheets, each
sheet Ringing on itself The backs
are hinged together, SO that the
whole book opens at any part as
we'll as any ordinary ledger. 1t was
borne into the assembly chamber on
the shoulders of eight men, and was
preceded on its way up the main
aisle by the speaker and the sergeant

Gov Hill, objected to its reception,
and tried to block its passage up to
the Speakers desk, shouting and
protesting as he was forced along be-
fore it. When the big book left New

was drawn through some of the

A cable to the New York Herald,
dated March 6, says: All Rome was
excited yesterday over the trial of
Buffalo Bill cowboys on wild horses
furnished by Duke Sermoneta. For
several days the Roman authorities
have been experimenting the cree
ton of extra barriers to keep the
savage steeds from reaching the audi
ence The animals came from the
Dukes famous herd on the Pontine
marshes, and he declared that no
cowboy on earth could ride them
The cowboys laughed at the boast.
Then the Duke dared them to mount
any one of six Every man, woman
and child in Rome expected that two
or three men would be killed in the
experiment, and over two thousand
carriages were driven to the scene of
the trial and an audience of 100000
people braved the dripping rain.
Lord Dufferin and many other diplo
mats were present Two of the wild
horses were driven into the arena.
They had neither saddle nor bride,
and Buffalo Bill announced that they
would be conquered in five minutes.
The cowboys lassoed, saddled, bri-
died and mounted the horses. The
animals leaped in the air, writhed.
bucked and reared madly, but all in
vain. In five minutes they were rid
den easily around, while the vast
crowd unmindful of the rain, roared
and shrieked with delight
