WAS CONSUL FOR BOLIVIA
New Complications Arising From the
LynchinG 0f MAchecha at New Orleans.


New Complications Arising From tho
WASHINGTON, April IA singular
fact in connection with the Italian
matter. which has entirely escaped at
tention up to the present time, is that
Jose p. Machecha, the alleged head of
the Malta and the most prominent Of
thesvictims of the mob, still stands on
the records of the state department as
the duly accredited and recognized con-
sui Of Bolivia in New Orleans. He was
. wealthy merchant. The firm of Ma
checha Brothers still continues the
agency of one of the important
steamship lines touching at New
Orleans and trading with South Amer
lean ports, and it was probably
from thus connection that Ma
checa came TO be appointed consul for
Bolivia. The hard fact remains that
he WAS such consul ut the time of his
unauthorized execution. Bolivia has
no dlplomati representative here. Its
most prominentc agent is Consul Gen
eral Obarrio. of New York. 1t does
not appear that he has made any
movement in the matter. MI.
Obarrio was delegate to the
recent international monetary COM
mission which sat in Washington. In
cidentally during his visits to the
capitol in that connection, he men,
toned with regret that since the disas-
trous Chili-Peruvan war Bolivia had
been left without seaport aud had TO
do all her commerce through nelghbor-
ing states. Bolivia without n seaport
or a navy IS n very small factor among
nations. Nevertheless it is possible that
some explanation may be asked of the
United States as to the killing Of one of
its consuls.

galleries to a New York Commercial
Advertiser man, "who possesses an
invaluable secret. What his name is

countered him until we decided to

OF this kind means the expenditure OF
much time and money at the constant
risk OF lrreparable damage, and it is
always begun with fear and tren1b-

which an old picture can be brought
back to its original tone and colorlng.

work which might result in the loss OF
thousands OF dollars in the hands of

won US over, and we told him to 90
ahead: He produced g. bottle of
something that looked like common
butter, smeared it evenly over the
picture, and told us that it must not
be touched for twenty-four hours.
The next day he returned, wiped off
the composition with a piece of linen
waste, and presto! the painting shone
as though it were fresh from the
masters brush. We can learn neither
the mans name, or the secret of his
composition. All we know is thathe
an American, and that he ought to

storing masterpieces that other

Dutchman, whose name was Hans

personal property were sold: Hegave

One day Mrs. Shrimpetifel, during a
neat fit, took upon herself to clean
the house and things, says the New
York Advertiser. So she did, and she
cleaned the headboard, and with SOAP
and water settled the old mans ac-
count by wiping away every chalk

mild misanshropic disdain
Yet why, sweetest songster Of sorrow,
Thus harp OH a chord not thine own?
oh, why wilt thou labor to borrow -
Melpomene's echo caught moan, ,.
And tell us thou wakest each morrow
To find that the spirit of rapture who form
erly cheered thee is flown?
What is there, dear maiden, to grieve thee?
What phantom to shadow thy heart?
Was it friendship that 1awned to deceive
thee ~
By practcng perfidy's part? f..
Did ingratitude labor to weave thee .s
The nettle-wrought crown that betokens
the worth of her treaCherOuS artp
Was it scowling adversely clad in
The hues of Plutonia's dove
That entered thy portal to sadden
A spirit whose fount was above
The tritles that darken and madden?
Or art thou, oh art thou, loser in the
Misunderstanding lottery of love?
Yet why, like that rhymer Calypso
Woo the tone of a sorrowng muse?
oh, why wilt thou ceaselessly dip so
In an urn of Astyrian dews,
And trOwn at the spirits that skip so
HilarouSly to the measures Terpsichore
pleuses to choose?
There may be a pleasure in sadness,
And Il charm in her musical song;
But mine is the harpstring of gladness,
And to capers of joys merry throng
(Though themes that excite but your mad

The nrth-breathing harp of my muse and
her liveleSt measures belong
Come with me to the fountain Of pleasure,
Disarm the mad phantom of care;
And whilejoy wings the moments ofleisure,
And rapture and beauty are there,
We will drink oflove's cup in full measure,
And laugh at the hurrying clouds that were
hued by the hand ofdespair!
