A CITY DISCOVERED.
The Very Remarkable Story of MeIi-
can Explorer.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec ia city
has been discovered in the southwest
ern part of this country. The dis.
coverer is Juon Alvarez. II is an old
Astec city. Alvarez had been travel
ing over the mountains In search of an
outlet to the Pacific coast, when he
came to the top of an elevated plateau
and crossed to the further edge. He
had magnificent view and while
looking over the country saw what he
took to be houses in far distant val
ley. A closer inspection with a glass
soon convinced him that what he saw
was really collection of housesan he
at once set about reaching the place
to see who lived in that part Of the
country.
After DAYS of hard work climbing
over cliffs and mountains, he reached
place from which he obtained q
good view of the city and saw that 1t
was regularly laid out In streets ana
was peopIed with a race who knew
something about civilization. A care
ful examination af the country showed
him that the city was within a natural
amphitheater and was accessible from
one place only.
He saw that the only means Of ac-
cess was through long and narrow
defile which led through the noun
tains from the Pacific coast side aud
he started to reach the place where he
could find entrance. He made an out
line drawing of the city as it appeared
to him from this distant mountain top
and this is all there is to show that
there is a city within the heart of the
mountain. for he was never allowed
| to reach the spot. From the drawing
it was plain that the city has not less
than 1900 inhabitants. The houses
are all of stone and are supplied with
doors and windows. After ten days
arduous work he found himself at the
| foot of the mountains, on the western
slope, and set about searching for the
canyon leading to the city. He has 50
we'll marked the lay of the land that
he had no difficulty in finding the
entrance but he was met by band OF
Indians who refused to let him pro-
ceed
He told them that he had come
over the mountains and that he did
not know how to get back. After a
consultation he was told that he would
have to remain awhile as prisoner,
and two runners were sent into the
mountains, who returned in day
with orders from someone in auth orr
ty, and Alvarez was blindfolded and
placed on the back of mule. He
travelled in this condition for three
days, only having his bandage re-
moved from his eyes at night. On the
fourth day he was tod to remove his
bandage, and when he did so he fo und
himself on the border of the Pacific
ocean. The Indians had gone, leaving
him with nothing to guide him back
to the place where he had seen the
city.

Popular CoIors This Winter.

In colors this season the blues are
rather gray in hue, while the grays
either have tinge of lavender or lilac,
or else show a greenish hue, deepening
into mignonet or sage. The heliotropes
are more than ever suited to those brn-
nets who have clear complexion, but
the woman who is unfortunate enough
to be sallow should never wear or per-
NIT to be near her any shade of the deli
cate hue. But the glaring emerald green
is not only at once trying, but loud, and
cannot be commended even for the much
quoted lady who has the skin of peach.
The popularity of black is very gre, il.
The soft woods or mixtures of silk and
wool being shown especial favor. A
black wool gown is always refined ard
ladylike. So she who can get only one
gown will be wise in choosing that it
shall be entirely in the fashion by being
black. k.-Ladies' Home Journal.

South Side citizens had an exciting
chase after wolf yesterday morning.
Just where the animal came from is not
known. but he was evidently new to
city life. The first intimation that the
residents of that portion of the city had
of the arrival of the stranger in their
midst was the sight of strange looking
quadruped, something like dog, worry
ing small dog near Indiana avenue and
Twenty-ffth street. Something In the
savage manner in which the animal
snarled and showed its teeth at the ap-
proach of a pedestrian warned those
whose curiosity prompted them to try to
investigate not to venture too near, and
they quickly retired to watch develop
ments from the shelter and safety of ad-
jacent doorways.
Such was the state of affairs when at
1880 o'clock the dogcatchers' wagon
came in sight. Louis Schlosser tried to
throw moose around the supposed dogs
neck, but it leaped to one side in time to
avoid the snare, and started down lpdi-
| dud 6NCuu0S ClOoCly pulouOu Wy uIe
crowd, with Officer John Jolndt and the
dogcatcher we'll in the lead.
When Thirtieth street was reached the
wolf sought to evade the shower of mis-.
cellaneous missiles thrown at him from
every side by turning the corner. Down
Twenty-ffth street the chase was con
tinued to Cottage Grove avenue, down
Cottage Grove avenue to Twenty-sixth
street. Then through alleyways and va.
cant lots to Lake avenue. Then across
the Illinois Central railway tracks to the
lake shore, where the wolf took shelter
in deep hole just behind the breakwa
ter. The wolf was finally captured and
taken to the dog pound, where he wai
accommodated with compartment al
to himself. He is of a grayish color anG
the size of large mastiff dog.-Chicagc
