led me to the nearest telegraph office,

He then hailed a cab. and ordered the
driver to take us to the address given

"There is nothing like frst-hand evil

You amaze me, Holiness said I.
''Surely you are not rs sur as you pre-
tend to be of all those particulars
which you gave"
There's no room for a mistake he
answered. THE very first thing
which l observed on arriving there
was that a cab had made two ruts with
its wheels close to the curb. Now, up
to last night, we have had no rain for
a week, S that those wheels, which
left such a deep impression, must have
been there during the night. There
were the marks of the horses hoofs,
too, the outline of one of which was
far more clearly cut than that of the
other three, showing that that was a
new shoe. Since the cab was there
after the rain began, and was not
there at any tune during the morning

City Star has the right ring: "The

Administration. They are dis

ed a halt on MIR. Harrison's scheme
to annex the Islands, and they are
displeased because the United States
Government has not taken a hand
in the Brazilian fight. They fail to
appreciate the fact that the Admin.
istration cannot prove its thorough
Americanism in a more conspicu-
Gus manner than by establishing a
policy here at home which will
solidify the credit of the nation,
reduce the burdens of taxation and
afford to every citizen the most lib
eral exercise of his rights under the

Government at Washington proposes
to do, regardless of the annexation

A. NJ. Harrison Is Preparing to Make
ALI Kinds OF Brick-Getting
Ready for a Big Boom.

A. M. Harrison, who is one of
Mexico's most substantial business
men, is arranging to largely increase
his business of brick making next
year. He is going to make an I'M
usually large number of good brick.
He is also going to arrange to make
street paving brick, as he is conf
dent that he has the right kind of
clay and is satisfied that a great
deal of paving will be done in Mex
leo during 1894. In addition to
this Mr.. Harrison will put in a
plant for making pressed brick 50
that it will be unnecessary to send
away to get this class of building
material. There is no question but
that there is plenty of coal under
Mr.. Harrison's brick yard and he
will have his fue. taken out right in
the yard. Andy has great conf
dence in Mexico and its future and
is going to do his part toward fur
nishing good building material and
keep the money right here at home.

his little son, went into his woods
