There was exuberant laudation OF tho Mex
lean republic In the speeches ut tho banquet
In honor OF Senior ROMERO Inst Wednesday
evening. The host Of tho evening spoke OF
the recent progress OF Mexico In civilization
and prosperity. He declared that her fields.
forests. and mines are producing in album
dance: that her Industries arc multiplying
and profitable: that. whllc her treasury
was bankrupt fow years ago. 1t now has
an annual income Of over 500. o0o. 900: that
she Is favorite country for investors. and
is receiving vast amounts OF capital from
abroad: that. while she had less than 800
miles Of railroad In 1876. she has now nearly
5000 miles: and that she will yet stand In
the front rank OF the civilized nations OF tho
world. He lauded President DIAz as
nation maker worthy OF renown.
Sef1or RoMEno dwelt mainly upon tho rc-
latlons between Mexico and tho United
States. two nelghboring powers which
should Always enjoy mutual friendship.
He maintained that the trade between them.
which has Increased rapidly In recent years.
ought to be greatly enlarged: no showed
that the railroad and telegraph lines OF
each OF them interminglo so US to make
both Of them practically one country for
commercial purposes: and he spoke plcas-
antly OF the growth Of social intercourse
between the Mexican and American people.
The host and guest were not exchanging
empty compliments In speaking thus Of
Mexico and the United States: they spoke
the language Of business and unity.
It gives US pleasure to corroborate nil
that was said In praise Of Mexican progress
within recent years. Mexico has done vol
und is doing we'll under the peaceful intol-
lgent. and energetic administration of
President nIAz. May she advance steadilyl
II also gives us pleasure to corrobOrate
what was said in regard to the mutual good
will of the American aud Mexican people.
There arc not any two other contiguous
nations In tho world thar maintain rs
amicable relations as those that exist be-
tween Mexico and the United States.

'ttnhe and that both countries will always
be benefited by each others prosperity.

che Death Penalty Among the Greeks
From the GIOb~-D Democrat
AT the last legal execution in the Creek
Nation l was present." said Leo Z. Ben
nett, the government agent for the five civ
ilized tribes. THE details we're different
from an execution in the army. a squad is
detailed, and some of the guns are left IN
loaded SO nobody can tell who fired the fatal
shot At this Creek execution the con-
dernned man was seated on the ground with
his back against a tree and his legs stretched
out in front He was not bound 20 the tree,
nor were his hands tied. Just before the
execution some one put bandage over the
eyes, but the prisoner tore it off and threw
it away.
perhaps the strangest part Of the pro-
ceedings was the selection OF the execution
ers. That was left TO the condemned man.
He was told to pick out the two msn whom
he wanted to do the shooting. Strange TO
say, one Of his selections was his cousin.
Both men were from the light horse Of the
nation. The two men, without any unUec-
essary delay, walked out in front of the
condemned twelve or fifteen feet, knelt
down, leveled their revolvers, steadying
their barrels with their left hands, and fired.
Both bullets struck the left breest over the
heart, and not more than an inch and half
apart. The man fell over on his side and
in a few seconds was dead"
