aALmAoEDA is DEAD.

BALMACEDA, the would be dictator
of Chilli, is dead. To escape the certain
death that awaited him at the hands OF
his enemies, he committed suicide.
1t is but another exemplifcation OF
the old old story Of vaulting ambition,
Sc. BALMAcEDA might have been en-
loving himself to-day with his family,
respected and beloved of all Chilians had
he obeyed the law. lie was not
satisfied with serving his country one
term as President, but needs put the
Constitution aside and attempt the dam
gerous feat OF establishing himself as
dictator. This way of trampling the
avs under foot is quite common in
South American Republics. If the
President takes it into his head, as
many Of them do, that the constitu-
tional limit Of serving the dear people
is too short. he issues decree
to postpone the day OF
election indefinitely and continues to
rule until he gets tired or shot, or stab
bed to death, as frequently happens,
by some outraged and desperate cabal
of the opposition to such high handed
doings.
1t sometimes happens that the self
appointed ruler is compelled to order
few of the more outspoken leaders OF
the people shot under the form OF law
in order to preserve peace. At other
times It happens, as in Balmaceda's
case. that sufficient number
of the people, aided and abet-
ted by high officials openly
revolt and take up arms for liberty or
death, for in most of those southern
Republics, where the latin race pre-
dominates, a rebellion prolonged any
length of time usually means no quarter
to the leaders. II BALMACEDA had
succeeded in conQuering the Junta, as
the peoples party was called, he would
have either shot or eXpatriated all
the prominent leaders of the van
quished party, whether in civil or
military life. Passion runs riot with
their hot blood, aRd terrible lot OF
killing and numbering, both officially
and unoGiclally, must take place before
there is anything like restoration OF
the amenities Of civilized life.
Hence BALNIAcEDA knew what was IN
store for him. When in power he was
as bloodthirsty as they make them, and
his cruelty made him terror.
His motto was you are either
with me or against me, and II
he reached the latter conclusion, of
went your head, so to speak. Rather
than meet the dread fate he bestowed on
others he took his own life, much to the
chagrin of the assembled multitude
who earnestly wanted the disposition of
his final end themselves.
It's now history that, another would
be dictator has passed away

..no. Against hard work.

"Did you ever notice that the man
who devotes himself to his business ire
ouently gets left, while one VINO relies
on luck is successful?"
The question was asked by news
paper man OF a Chicago Tribune reporter.
Then he explained: "a newspaper man
Of my acquaintance was assigned 70 look
out for a man who was coming In on
train. You know how many trains run
into this town every day and how 1ar
apart the depots are. The man who re-
ceived the assignment had no pointer as
to which road his man was travelling.
His sole order was, Find him. lie was
sitting In the Office of friend enjoying
g cigar. The Office is just across the
street from railroad station. After MS
visit the newspaper man walked across
10 the station, saw the manager OF
trunk line and asked him whether Mr..
Blank was coming in on his road. The
manager said that Mr.. Blank had ar
rived and was somewhere in the build
ing. The newspaper man found him
lust as he was going into sleeping car
about leaving for the East. Now, that
was pure luck. That newspaper man
hadn't worried himself TO death. lie
simply relied on his luck.
"Now here is another case. The news
paper man in this case was told TO lind
General Sherman. The old warrior was
at the Grand Pacific. When the re-
porter called there he was Informed that
the General was visiting friends on
Prairie avenue. The reporter went
away and returned, but the General was
still visiting. A half dozen times he re-
turned and the clerk had the same an
swer to make. The reporter planted
himself In a chair facing the principal
entrance and waited. He waited until
midnight and returned to his Office with
the information that General Sherman
had not returned to the hotel up to the
hour when churchyardS are said to
yawn.
''There was reporter on rival paper
who was strolling on the Jackson street
side of the hotel when carriage drove
up to the side entrance. General Sher-
man got out. The reporter knew old
Tecumseh' by sight, and supposing he
had Just arrived on late train he fol-

once to his room. BY the way, he had
two rooms adjoining. The key to the
room to which he was assigned lay in
the box in the office. The key to the
door of the other room the old soldier
had in his pocket. That was the sort OF
strategy to which he resorted when he
wanted to outmanevre reporter. The
reporter who saw him get out OF his car
rage and who followed him to his room
got column and half Of good stuff.
The next morning the reporter who had
faithfully performed his duty and had
done everything that could be expected
reported to the city editor, and that
functiouary handed him copy of the
rival sheet, folded so that the inter-
view with Sherman appeared at the top
of the column next to reading matter,
in display manner that would have
added ten years to the life Of an adver-
Using agent. There you are-luck YER

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, so runs the world

The leading wool markets are quiet
The worsted mills have heretofore been
the heaviest buyers, and now that they
have provided for their present wants
are keeping aloof from the market. All
domestic woods are In moderate demand,
while foreign woods are neglected.
There is 20 speculative feeling noted in
the market, and while buying is con-
fined to meeting the actual needs OF
the factories change in prices cannot
be expected. The supply of Texas
wool is reported light. California and
Oregon woods remain dull, with values
weak and lower. Territory woods are
receiving considerable attention.
Stocks of choice woods are very much
reduced. In Australian woods the de-
mand is light. Only small lots have
been secured at the London sales. In
choice woods values have held firm, but
coarse and defective woods are lower.

THE BASE BALL RACE.
Old Man Arson Begins to Trembie in
His Base Ball Shoes

His Base Ball Shoes.
The interest now being taken about
town in the league base ball race has
risen several notches in the past few
days owing to unexpected changes.
The work of the New Yorks in the
three games just played with Chicago
has been of the first order, and II
they could have struck that gait two
weeks ago they would now be in
the swim for the flag. The Bostons are
now so close to Arson that the old man
trembleS in his base ball shoes, but un-
less his team continues to lose three
straight there is no great prospect Of
their losing the lead. The Chicagoes
are now but twenty points ahead Of the
Bostons, the double victory yesterday
giving the men from the Hub great
boost upward.
Chicago has six games to play with
Cincinnati, three with Cleveland, and
three with Pittsburg. Boston has six
games to play with Philadelphia, three
with Brooklyn, and three with New
York. II Chicago wins six out OF the
twelve remaining games, the teams
percentage will be .6O3, while Boston by
winning eight out of twelve games
would have 600.
Should Boston %in nine out OF twelve
games and Chicago fall to win more
than half of twelve games, Nash and
his men would win the pennant. Bos-
ton seems to have struck the strong
gait she had some weeks ago, and the
prospect is good for close and excit-
ing finish.

HIS MOTHER PAINTED 1T.
That Was Why He Was Panied t. Hear
If RIdiculad,
Nsw YORK. Ecesiag Sun.

A few years ago there was young
fellow at Yale who was a great wag.
One day an enormous painting OF deer
appeared on the wall Of his room. 1t
was most ATTRACTIONS combination OF
oils and imagination, and 1t was not I'M
natural, therefore, that every fellow
who came into his room for weeks
thereafter should stand transfixed for an
instant, then whistle and say: "Hullo,
B., where did you get that cOw?"
To which B would always give
the same answer with hurt look: my
mother didn't paint 1t for a cow
then his voice would break and he would
say quietly, "She's dead now and wish
you wouldn't" And then, CT course,
there would be a collegian who would 90
hurriedly out and invite some other COL
legian to kick him all over the campus.
So matters went on for some weeks.
Several fellows, being warned in ad-
vance, on going into the room would be
struck with a sudden and wonderful ad-
miratlon for the work OF art and were
loud In their praise Of 1t. Which praise
was always received, as the blame had
been, quietly and mournfnlly.
Finally one day self-shamed sopho-
more went to a junior who lived In the
same town with B and confessed to
him the awful blunder he had made In
asking B. where he got the cow. To
his amazement the junior broke out into
a hearty laugh. "Why, that B has
guyed you fellows most awfully," he
said. Oils mother is as live as ] am,
and she can't paint a stroke, and B.
bought that painting down at an anc-
ton shop in town for a dollar. 1 saw
him."
