CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-It is not very often
that the ruler of foreign nation seeks the
advice and counsel of private American
citizens and is glad to get it. Occasionally
it happens that the powers that be of some
impoverished South American republic are
ready to welcome and to listen TO some
financiers from England or the United
States who seek a concession of some kind
and are willing to come down literally for
it. But in such cases it is generally the
dollars rather than the advice and counsel
that are sought for.
President Diaz, of Mexico. however, is
seeking the opinions and suggestions of
certain Chicagoans, and not only that, but
he is anxious TO receive them in person.
The soldier-StateSman has the faculty of
looking far ahead He believes, and he
has taken occasion to say so, that worlds
fairs are great educators, and that they are
of so incalculable a value in spreading
ideas and knowledge concerning the differ
ent nations that no country can afford
to be Unrepresented in any one of them.
And so it was that Mexico was one of the
first to file its acceptance of President
Harrison's invitation to participate in the
Worlds Columbian exposition. But the
mere acceptance of that invitation, how
ever, will not build a Mexican annex on
the Worlds fair grounds or I'LL it with ex
hibits. Money must be forthcoming. Presi-
dent Diaz has been putting on his think
ing cap in relation to this phase of the
question, and has come to the conclusion
that three-fourths of million dollars will
be about the proper thing.
At the same time that is a great deal of
money for him TO ask Of the people OF
Mexico. and he knows il. He appears TO
know also that Chicago men are not only
very plausible, very insinuatiDg and very
eloquent, but that they are also first class
hustlers, and that when they go after
thing they generally get it, and sometimes
something extra into the bargain. And so
il is that President DiaZ has actually found
a way of indicating to the Worlds fair
people that he would like 10 have few OF
them invade his territory and stir up his
people TO q point of enthusiasm, where
they will be willing to produce the sum de-
sired.
The spectacle OF party of American citi-
zels, acting directly under the auspices of
the chief executive Of sister and foreign
speaking republic. and urging the people
and legislature OF that republic to hump
themselves and do credit 10 toe land of
their birth by making a glorious display at
the Worlds fair, viii certainly be as novel
and interesting as It will be rare.

600 in good and lawful money. He tried
for a long time to get into business, but
was unsuccessful. He was finally induced
to invest his money in the theatrical bust
ness and, in the technical language of the
profession became an ''angel." He organ
lied company and took a play on the
road In this way in less than no time he
lost $4,000. He even went on the stage and
took a minor part for which his broken
language fitted him admirably.
After two months this venture was
abandoned and he organized burlesque
company, which began a season of barn
storming under the high sounding name
of "Parisian Cyclone company" After a
four months tour Mr.. Bergee discovered
that he was out another $1,000, making
a total loss of $4,000 on the first two ven
lures He was about to abandon the
"angel business" when a well known star
made overtures to him to take her on the
road. He engaged a manager, organized
a company in New York and Chicago and
they started out in high feather. The first
engagement was played at the Windsor
theater in Chicago, and a little money was
made. Then the company started on a
circuit of the Wisconsin and Minnesota
towns. The expenses largely oVerbalanced
the receipts.
The tour came to miserable end at
Duluth. The star broke her contract and
left for New York. The counts funds
were utterly exhausted. He sold his sable
overcoat and some diamonds and managed
to get about half of the company back to
Chicago. When he landed there he had
just three cents of his $780, 900 left. The
"angel business" had proved frost, and
his all was gone. He lived from hand to
mouth for many dreary weeks. Heidi all
kinds of odd jobs, securing floors, working
in restaurants and making buttonholes
for big clothing house.
A fellow countryman brought him to
Milwaukee and found him a position as
waiter in a restaurant. Then he secured a
similar position in one of the railway res
taurants, where ne made friends rapidly,
and eventually attracted the attention of
Passenger Agent Heafford, of the St. Paul
road. Mr.. Heafford became interested in
the count, ard was instrumental in get
ting him On one of the buffet cars. He did
his work so well that he was soon pro-
