THE FUNERAL OF AN ANeELTo.
In Paraguay the Death of a Child Is Con-
 sidered 9 Matter of Rejoicing.

F
 sidered a Matter of Rejoicing.
 While wandering about inside the recoleta one morning two bells inside the old church began to ring out joy ously, as if for a wedding, writes Fannie B. Ward to the Chicago Tribune. Looking through the gateway I saw procession coming, at a cheerful jog trot, down the sandy lane, which is bordered with grass and luXuriant shrubs. They were all women and girls, not a man among them, so it could not be wedding-s0me with babies in their arms, others with chil- dren trotting at their sides, the little boys wearing pOnchOs, the women and girls dressed after the Paraguayan fashion of skirt and camisole, every one barefooted and with a black shawl or square of white cotton draped over the head. They advanced with laugh ter and gayety, almost on gentle run; and the young woman who led the cortege carried on her head little coffin enveloped with linen embroidery, edged with nanduti lace, and strewn with fresh red roses. It was an angelito, a little angel,'' and there fore no cause for sadness, for through out all Spanish America the death of a child is considered rather a matter for rejoicing. So, while the bells clattered more merrily than ever, the joyous group passed the turnstile, traversed the cloisture of the church and halted beside a shallow hole
 4 s4 loo were a sandwich of different layers and strata of bones and broken coffins, smoothly cut by the spade, and that the heap of fresh earth beside it con- tained a skull or two lone with long black hair clinging to it), some old joints and marrow bones, a baby's shoe, bits of coffin, shreds of clay-soiled grave clothes, and other recuerdos of the for gotten dead. A grave digger, wearing long, brown-striped poncho, placed the rose-strewn box containing the angelIGU into the hole and proceeded to shovel the dirt and bones in upon it, incidentally pushing in the hairy skull with his bare foot; now and then get ting in to stamp down the loose earth and make all snug and secure. Then the group left the cemetery, still gay and happy, the mother without tear in her eyes, but chattering with the rest-not because she was lacking in natural affection, but because. she be- ieved with unshaken trust that her baby was not there in the damp earth but safe in Mary's arms, where she would one day find it. She carried with her black wooden cross, with the embroidered linen that had draped the coffin wound about it.

wagon that had brought them un- loaded their tools and camp outfit, and turning back, left them there alone, they never stopped to think whether there was anything rom antic or heroic in their situation but just went to work and cleared away the cactus and greaseWood to make a good place on which to spread their blankets and build their camp fire. A six xshooter apiece, a few blankets, two picks and shovels, frying pan and coffe pot and some flour, bacon and beans, was the extent of their cap ital, but they knew the. future would turn out all right, and they went to work perfectly contented and happy.
 One day nearly two months later, they stopped work for dinner, when the sun had climbed straight t over head. They had sunk their shaft nearly 200 feet by this time, and they were beginning to think they ought to be getting pretty close to water. On that day in particular, many and bright were the plans they laid out for the future, when, with the water in the we'll, corrall and adobe house built, they could commence to live easy and save money. While they were eating and planning, two suIky looking Mexicans approach ed from the road, and, without ceremony, were invited to sit down on the ground and help them selves. The boys noticed that these strangers were evidently de- serters from the company of Mexi- can soldiers, stationed at the time near Prescott, for they wore govern ment uniforms and carried army muskets. No questions were asked, however, for these are occasions when inattention to a guest is the highest form of civility, and Dave and his pard, having finished their meal, went off to their work. tell ing their guests to help themselves and eat all they wished
 A word about this company of Mexican soldiers-for this Is all true history, mind you-and every man init actually lived, though some of them died, In 1865 two companies of Mexicans and one company of friendly Pima Indians. were enlisted by Governor Good win, the first governor of Arizona, for the purpose of fighting Indians and protecting the miners, though it Is not recorded that the former did anything beyond drawing their pay. It seems that the whites were all too busy hunting for gold to bother with indians. unless they (the Indians) came around; in that case, of course, they were perfectly willing to kill few of them. One of the Mexican companies was stationed at Skull valley, some fifty miles northeast of King 5 We'll; and it was from that com pany that the two Mexicans refer red to deserted These enlisted Mexicans were, of course, the low est and most depraved of border rurfians, and the pretty pair who have come into our history were a fair sample of the class.
 THE ASSASSINATION.
 After these two brown faced, uniformed gentlemen had finished their repast, they took their mus kets and advanced cautiously to- ward the shaft where their two benefactors were hard at work. It was about 100 yasds from the camp. No one saw them now, for Dave King was down at tEe bot tom of the shaft getting ready to fill the bucket and Dan was on ton looking down and ready to let

A Wonderful Watch.

A mechanical marvel lately exhibited in St. Petersburg is a musical watch which was made by Russian peasant in the reign of Catharine. It is about the size of hens egg, and contains a representation of the tomb of Christ, with the Roman sentinels. On press ing a spring the stone rolls away from the tomb, the sentinels fall down, the angels appear and the holy women en- ter the sepulcher, and the same chant which is sung in the Greek church on Easter eve is actually performed.

THE ASSASSINATION.

After these two brown faced, uniformed gentlemen had finished their repast, they took their mus kets and advanced cautiously to- ward the shaft where their two benefactors were hard at work. It was about 100 yasds from the camp. No one saw them now, for Dave King was down at tEe bot tom of the shaft getting ready to fill the bucket and Dan was on top looking down and ready to let it down by the windlass whenever Dave should call out that he was ready. The Mexicans halted about midway, as was proved afterward by an examination of their tracks, and one of them taking aim with his musket put a bullet through poor Dams back. D an just threw up his hands and fell headlong in- to the shaft. It will be seen by this circumstance that Mexicans of this class do not practice the Arab virtues-nor any other virt- ues, for that matter.
 These two pretty fellows, return ing to camp, rifflai it of what pro- visions they could carry; not much indeed, for they were on foot and had a desert to. cross. They also took the two ro5o'vars belonging to their victims and counia of can teens full ol water. .'lcn they

Newspaper Laws.

DR.. Tuckerman, editor of the Work

to collect and compile the decisions OF
the United States court on this subject
and gives to the Washington Post, as
the result Of his Investigations the fol
lowing, which may be relied upon AS
correct
/. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are CON
sidered wishing to enc their sub
cription.
2. If the subscriber orders the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send them
until all arfearaces are paid.
8. If subscribers, neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the Office
to which they are directed, they are re-
syonsible until they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-

4. IF subscribers move to Other
places without informmgthe publisher

doess, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have dt cided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the Of
fee or removing and leaving them Vii
called for, is prima facie evidence OF
evidence OF Intentional fraud.
8. If subscribers pay in advace they
are bound to give notice at the end OF

the man who allows his subscription tC

General improvement.

NEW YORK, April 6.-R. g. Dun e. Co g weekly
review of trade will say: Improvement in bust
ness has continued since the Presidents veto
which has been sustained in the House But the
best news of the week is a great decrease in
first time by months in the quarterly statement
The number was 1000 In January, 1902 in Feb
ruary and 005 in March. The commercial Habit
ties were s3l 800 1853 in January, ST.. $780, Al in
February and l476J,s 93 in March. Nearly ha I
the commercial Liabilities were OF firms failing
during the first month; much moro than half OF
the trading liabilities. 81 per cent the
full statement shows, AZ per cent or the manu-
featuring liabilities and 40 per cent OF the other
thirds of the banking Liabilities were OF failures in
the frst month and over half OF the railroad la
bIfties Though the number OF commercial fall
ures-4297-in the United states was never
equaled in any quarter until the third quarter Of
last year, the average Of Liabilities is only $l4 $40,
which is lower than appeared in the records for
thirtysight years at any time closely preceding
any serious reverse. The degree OF commercial
soundness and health thereby indicated gives
ground for hope that the Iiquldations consequent
upon the disaster of 1893 have been in large
measure accomplished.
Wheat has been lifted about cents by reports
of serious Injury to the plant, but the accounts
uncertainty about the extent OF the injury
Western receipts were 1,7l1,l47 bushels for the
week against ,l7O, 97l last year but the exports
from the Atlantic ports were 749,477 bushels,
against l,042,265 last year. Corn bias declined
112c with Western receipts OF 1926, 1853 bushels

The failures for the past week have been 249 In
the United States agafnst l95 last year and 26 in
CANADA against 20 last year.

Gus causes were assigned for the sudden sacken-
Ing CT interest in Americans In London. and
II was even suggested that misconceptions
in regard to the difficulties In South Carolina
had been effective in this connection. The
more reasonable view of the matter is that the
interest suddenly shown In our securities abroad
was largely speculative-that the speculation was
overdone and quickly exhausted itself. Iu sup
port of this 1t might be mentioned that the
foreign investment in bonds has also been of a
less active character. At the same time London
has appeared only as a moderate seller, aud re-
tains for the time the greater part OF It's pur-
chases OF both stocks and bonds Ia this market.
] lie absence OF liquidation from this source has,
therefore. sustained prices and though the pro-
fessonal element pade several attempts to bring
about = reaction they met no success, and seem to
have increased the outstanding short Interest The
trading was well distributed throughout the en-
tire list. The support was divided among num-
Der of commission houses Itseems to come from
one source and leads to the belief that the Gould
party is on the bull side. Richmond Terminal,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas partook In the I'M
provement. The Granger and Trunk Line stocks
were quiet except for some pressure which the
bears applied 10 the former early in the week. ST.
Paul rose from 63Ll to I'd.
