about Mexico as they would In this
country, while the Mexan women are
Gagged up like birds. The only way to
make love to them is to stand of some
hundred yards and stare.
THE pretty senorita sits in her open
window and you can only look at her.
There is one chance in a hundred Of
getting an opportunity to speak to one
while she is in church, but this is the
only place. Last summer New York
merchant and his beautiful daughter
stopped for a few days in the little town
where was sojourning. The young
lady was one Of the handsomest that |
have ever seen-light hair, eyes like
heavens blue, classic form and all that
was lovely. Well, you can imagine
what a stir she created among the
young Mexicans, who are held SO far
away from the native women.
"The son OF wealthy planter used
to stand for hours opposite the window
of this American girl. One day the
father went to the City of Mexico, leav-
ing the daughter unattended for q few
hours. The young lady walked from
the hotel to the station and was follow
ed by the Mexican admirer. As she
was nearly home the yonng follow
rushed up to her, and implanting kiss
upon her forehead, ran away for dear
life.
when the father came home there
was little excitement. He had the
young fellow arrested, and the next day
he was brought before the judge, who
gravely asked what the charge was.
'Assaulting a woman, spoke up the
New Yorker.
"'What did the prisoner do?'
"'He ran up to my daughter on the
street and kissed her.
"'He kissed the lovely young lady?'
asked the Judge, as he carefully scrutin-
lied the fair American.
"'Yes, SIR
"'Well, who wouldn't?' remarked the
Judge, as he left the court room. And,
would you believe it, that was all the
satisfaction the New Yorker could get in
Mexico. "-Detrost Sun.

Outraged and Murdered.

VICTORIA, Texas. August 1.-THE
coolest and most dastardly crime that
ever disgraced any city was discovered
here to-day. Miss Mary Hensoldt, an
tmbectle and helpless lady, past the
meridian Of life, was found outraged
and murdered in her room on the lower
part OF Main street, next to Praeger's
hardware store, where she lived alone.
She was dependent on relatives and
friends for subsistence. and the crime
was discovered by her little niece who,
alarmed at the length of time since she
had been seen, went to learn the cause,
only to see the most sickening
sight imaginable. The body was
In an advanced stage oil de-
composition and there were evil
dences of brutal violence too horrible to
describe. 1t was developed at the cor
Dner's investigation that the crime
must hsve occurred Wednesday night,
between 7:30 and $40. She returned
from q relatives house that night about
1:30 o'clock, with her supper, which re-
manned on her table untouched.
The brutal beast must have been con-
cealed in the room at the time. She
was incapable of much resistance, and
her feeble outcries must have heen sti-
aed, as none Of the neighbors heard any
noise whatever. The utmost excite
ment and indignation exists among the
citizens, and summary justice will be
meted upon the inhuman wretch II
caught. No clew.

Mr.. Blaine has no knowledge of his re-

Mr.. Blaine refuseS to see 0ny one
who comes upon political mission or
to talk politics at all, therefore it is
exceedingly doubtful il he would see
Collector Erhardt should he come.
DIR. Taylor, Mr.. Blaine's physician,
says the report that DR.. Baldwin was
sent for is absurd and untrue. There

Blaine or not; did not tell you"
DR.. Charles during his speech

DR.. William Baldwin left for Bar

Emmons Blaine said last night:
