tavos for tho use of chair by the side
of one of the chief avenues. All day
long the people of Mexico, rich and
poor, stylish and humble, promenade
or drive up and down these avenues,
and in no way can the visitor see so
much of the Mexican character as to de-
vote an afternoon to this sort of sight
seeing. Although bull fighting is not
now patronized by the better classes as
it once was. and President Diaz did all
he could to suppress it year or two
ago, it is still the favorite amusement
of the common people, and every fine
Sunday the seats about the bull ring
are crowded with eager spectators, some
times as much as SO seat being paid
by those in attendance. Bull fighting In
Mexico, however, is not what it is in
Spain. The horses used are generally
old, wornout animals, and the bulls are
frequently lean and spiritless. Some
times, when bulls cannot be got, COWS
are substituted. 1t is needless to say
that in such cases the contests are not
exciting. In fact. the COWS sometimes
run away, to the great indignation Of
the spectators.
The foreign population of the city Of
Mexico is not very large, there being
more Germans perhaps than English
speaking people. OF the latter there are
about 400 or 500. but they manage to
support a paper printed in the English
language entitled The Two Republics
1t is quite possible that this paper re-
ceives some financial assistance from the
government At all events it never
criticises the administration.
President Diaz. who is not only the
chief executive, but practically all there
is of the federal government, seems to be
very popular with the Mexicans and is
the soul Of courtesy in his intercourse
with foreigners, especially those from
the United States. He is greatly inter
ested in the coming exposition, as he is
in everything that seems TO have tend
ency to introduce the spirit of progress
in the Mexican capital. He is a fine
looking man. and his wife, to whom he
seems devoted. is comedy woman,
though now q hit stout They are often
seen in the Streets Of the city in car
riage, the president often goes on horse
back, and both me chcered at every APP
pearance. The prcsid. at has done all ir
his power to hasten the completion Of
the great drainage works which were
begun 600 years ago. and ii is hoped
shat they will be finished next year.
The castle of Chapultepec, the resi-
dence of President Diaz. will overlook
the exposition during its continuance
Chapultepec is a noble edifice and has
been prominent in Mexican American
history From its grounds the volcano

Bought the ship THAT brought Him.

An interesting anecdote is told OF
the late Captain Theodore Julius. Some
time ago Captain julius went over to a
shipyard in Camden to take look mt
the old packetship Tonawanda, which
was being converted into coal barge.
The captain took particular interest
In the old ship, because Of his having
served as mate aboard her in the early
sixties. While he stood Watching the old
vessel, tall stranger approached him
and asked. Isn't your name Julius?"
The captain replied in the affirmative.

dishes will be somewhat similar TO

dral. and the SWEETEST daughters of the
city are daily to be seen smoking ciga-
rettes in their carriages and in the public
gardens, where also the senoritas often
deign to refresh themselves with beer.
To most American travellers these same
senoritas are less comely than they are
expected to be, but this Is somewhat due

that they vary in price accordingly.
Thus it costs 100 centavos or 81 an hour
for blue carriage, rs cents for red
one and 90 cents for yellow one. II

a social standpoint, you should never
patronize anything but blue carriage
In many ways the Mexicans do things
in exactly tho reverse fashion from
Americans For instance, the men wear
their hats in the theaters and the wom-
en- take theirs off, AT some theaters
each act is little drama by itself, and
between acts collectors come around to
take pay for the next one from those
who wish to remain. The performance
rarely begins before 0 o'clock and rare
ly closes before o'clock in the morn
ing. The hotels do not furnish meals to
their guests. nor are any restaurants
attached to these establishments as a
rule At some hotels it is necessary for
the guest to furnish his own towels and
soap and servant to care for his room.
A great feature of Sunday in the city
of Mexico is the music on the Plaza,
furnished by bands composed of mu-
sioians of exceptional ability. 1t is

rector of the Anthem Memorial church.
which is now called All Souls church.
During his pastorate Of quarter Of a
century he has battled for advanced
thought, and his forcible, erudite and
eloquent sermons have drawn about him
a congregation numbering among its
members many of the most prominent
and wealthy residents of New York. He
has become widely known ON account Of
his radical and somewhat unorthodox
views on religion and has been severe
ly censured by his brother clergymen.

utterances, and this committee will now

been set apart for the buildings and
grounds, and this area will be divided
into three portions-the Grand court,
the Mexican National court and the
Foreign court, A statue of Porfirio
Diaz, the president of the republic, will
be erected at the entrance to the Grand
court, and in the center of the court
there will be a beautiful electrical ex-
hibit, while to the rear there will be an
electrical fountain and cascades. Differ
emit attractions will be placed at the four
corners, such as an old Mexican mining

orange trees will line the walks. The
National court will be to the left, and
in 1t will be the Administration build
ings, buildings for each of the Mexican
states and SO on. The Foreign court
will be to the right of the Grand court.
In the corners will be Spanish, French,
American and German restaurants and
cafes, while the center will be occupied
by something very similar to the Mid
way plaisance at Chicago. Everywhere
there will be beautiful tropical plants,
shrubbery and flowers The grounds
will be accessible by several lines of
street cars and will also be placed IN
connection with the chief railroads.
Special privileges in the way of customs
concessions to exhibitors will be made,
arrangements for cheap travel and trans
portation are being perfected, and the
Mexican government has assumed the
responsibility of diplomas and other
prizes Machinery will be admitted free.
The buildings will be as handsome and
imposing as can be put up in the time at
command, and they will be of such
substantial character as to be serviceable
after the close of the exhibition.
Among the prizes to be offered will
be several for model houses and hotels,

NO ACTUAL RESURRECTION.
Rev. Dr. Newton's Unorthodox Statement
May Cause His Trial For Heresy.

81 believe in the resurrection of the
body" says the creed of the Protestant
Episcopal church. 81 do not believe
the resurrection of Jesus Christ means
the rising again from the tomb of the
actual body laid away there, says Rev.
DR.. R. Heber Newton. one of the best
known clergyinen of the church, and a
heresy trial is among the possible con-
sequences of that declaration. In thus
discarding the accepted Christian belief
in the actual resurrection of the body Of
Jesus, DR.. Newton caused widespread
comment among the clergy Of his
church, and Bishop Potter of New York
will be called upon to decide whether or
not there is enough evidence Of unca-
nonical practices 10 justify arraigning
DIR. Newton before the proper tribunal
ON the charge of heresy.
DR.. Newton was born in Philadelphia
Oct. 81, 1910, and was educated at the

later by Sir John Marlborough. whom
Charles II. sent to PataRonia for gold.
The other vessel pushed on, doubled
and named the Horn after the lost
ship (Which had also received its name
from the place of that name in Hol-
land, of which one of the principals In
the undertaking was a natfve). dis
covered and named latter the Amster-
dam merchant who conceived the ideal.
the straits of lie Marie, and finally
reached the Pacific.
Seventeen years earlier another
Dutchman, Dirck Gerritz, in a vessel OF
only one hundred ana nifty tons our
den, which formed part of the East
India squadron Of Simon of Cordes.
had been driven by bad weather
from the weatern entrance Of
the straits of Magellan AZ far
south as latitude C2 degrees. and dis
covered the islands now known as the
South Shetlands. TO him it was
a coast resembling that o6 Norway,
mountainous and covered with snow.
His statement was regarded as apoc-
rhpyal until Mr.. William Blytl,, in tho
year 1919. rcdiscovered the islands
while on a voyage from Montevideo to
Valparaiso.
The Dutch navigator De Bonneville
was credited with having, even before
Gerritz, discovered a Terra Australis
to the soutl, of Africa, but we know
from Pigafetta, tho biographer of
Magellan, that tho phrase ''AutActic
pole" was d very loose one. and was
taken to mean the southern hemi-
sphere. which is a vastly different mat
ter. Moreover, De Bonneville brought
home to Franco with him the son of
the sovereign of his new-found land.
which is of itself sufficient to prove
that he did not penetrate far south.
But his story and the signs of his
dusky captive set the hearts Of his
country men beating with wild hopes
