"As murderers. women have in the
nineteenth century been making a
bloody record. Account for 1t as phil

EXPERIMENT. IN THIEvERY.

The recent account Of the life OF the
Apache chief, Geronimo. In Mount Vernon,
Ala, reminds me that at the time Ger
onimo was massacreing people for amuse-
ment and stirring things up generally
along the border OF Old Mexico and the
States" l was with a party Of American
engineers who were constructing a branch
OF the Mexican Central Railroad not far
from the border and directly In old
Geronim('s territory. says a writer In the

THE MOTHER OF KOssUTH.

Kossuth's splendid devotion to his
mother was one OF the fines traits In
this great mans character. II was by
her, says the I.ady's Pictorial. that the
fire of patriotism was kindled In his
breast; from her he learned the lessons
OF obedience. endurance II persever-
ance which to his life's end he never
forgot, and so long as she lived her
word was law to him.
Even as she lay dying. hen her only
desire was to see her sons face once
more. she sent a message to him hat
she would rather die uncontrolled by

the authorities commanded, and, though
II was bitter grief TO him. and the bit
terness endured TO the last day OF his
life. he refused to go under these con-
ditions. and 30 he never looked on her

EnElnnd's Debt to Wales.

To the Editor:
'Anglo-Saxon' you are In grave error when you
say that there Is a large amount OF English capt.
al in Wales, and that the great manufacturer,
merchants, ironmasters, coal mine owners and
steamship owners are English. These branches
represent the wealth OF Wales. and I will say
and can prove that IS to 80 per cent are Welsh
men. The following names I believe will bear
out my statement: The Crawshays, Daylies, Wv
ians and Morgans are the great ironmasters: the
Morgans. Jones Bros. Evenses. Coey Bros. Guests
and Llewyllans are the principal min eowners:
Howell G Co. Morgan q Co.. and Roberts the
great merchants, and the steamship companies are
Cocy & Co., Evan Thomas Radcliffe. W. H. & C..

many others. all weishmen. Now. ANGLO

I say "England's debt to Wales" | acknowledge
that little Wales reaps benefits by the union that
otherwise she would miss. l only wish to call to
your mind that Wales has helped and given her
sons to the glory OF Great Britain jus. as much az
England in war. commerce. art and music. Now.

4 Stir In Snil Cloth.

There is a hue and cry for sail cloth,
and the excitement reaches from Pet
ticoat lane to the shi%pping-dock. Shoe
makers. dressmakers, pocketbook- max
ers, parasol-makers, tailors and haber-
dashers want the coarse cotton. and ship
chambers and dealers in fishing tackle
are plagued by mai and messenger.
Last Summer some well dressed women
discovered that sail cloth made the best
of duck suits. Hence the present
demand. With a white dress one needs
white shoes. and sail cloth wears and
