READY TO DIE.
Labor Unions of Mexico to Hold
a Congress,
And Offer Their Services to
Their Country
IN THE COMING WAR.
Patriotic Fever Runs High in
the Republic.
President Diaz Addresses the
WOrkingmen.

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 1.-The various
Industrial organizations of this republic
and of border points in the United States
are making elaborate preparations for an
immense demonstration in favor of the
Mexican government in its dealings with
the Guatemalan question.
The fifty or more unions which will
take part will be called to order as con-
their members asked to enlist as volun-
teers TO fight fer the republic in the
event of war with Guatemala.
Aside from workingmen's unions
from all over Mexico. delegates
will be present from the COL
onies of Mexicans who are living
along the border, New Mexico, Arizona
and California, and who have already
expressed their readiness to fight for
their mother country when needed.
The feeling is running high among all
the laboring people, and the gathering is
expected to be large one.
A large committee, representing the
united labor organizations, was received
by President Diaz at the palace The
chief executive was addressed at length
on the feelings of patriotism which in
spired the workingmen of Mexico at
this time of impending danger to the
republic and its Institutions.
Gen. Diaz replied that it was very
gratifying for him to see that now, as in
all past times of war in Mexico, justice
and right had found their defend
ers in those ready to use the can
on and unsheath the sword. and
that it was great pleas
ure for him to serve such
a country, where its people at all times
observed the relation of patriotism.
He still hoped the dispute with Guate-
mala might remain within the boundaries
of diplomacy and be settled with
out the splitting of Mexican
blood, but this did not detract
from the pleasure it gave him to
feel that, come what might, govern
ment and people would stand together
in a common cause and for a common
defense. The president begged his aud
itors to use at all times great discretion
in their demonstration of patriotism, and
by word or deed offend no one, as
by this way oMly the dignity of
the nation in general can be
sustained, which should be the wish of
every citizen as it is of the government.
In closing, the president again thanked
the workingmen for the honor they had
shown him and Mexico, and the practi-
cal proof they presented, that if Mexico
be in need, its integrity and honor will
have the backing 10,000,00O Mexican de-
fendera

The Latest Observation-Disclosures.

Prince Wells has applied for patent
on nickel in-the-slot machine for in
hating pneumatic tires. This is quite a
novelty and has never been introduced
before, although it has been thoroughly
tested by Mr.. Wells. The machine will
be placed in front of any cycle agency,
and by dropping nickel in the slot a
rubber tube, with a universal connec-
ton, can be drawn out about three feet.
When it is at full length, it releases a
lever, and by pressing button the air
is turned on and the tire inflated. The
air is stored in a reservoir, which is
filled by hydraulic pressure. This ma
chine will be sold at medium price
and will be great saving to agents
and convenience to the riding public.
The machine is SO arranged that it is
impossible for the small boy to tamper
with it.-Hardware.

GHOUL ROBS J. w. NORTON.
His Thousand Dollar Diamond Ring Stolen
From Him While Dying.

His Thousand Dollar Diamond Ring Stolen
From Him While Dying.
ST LOUIS. Feb. Friends of the late
John W. Norton have not as yet been
able to ascertain the whereabouts of the
diamond ring that was taken off his
finger after he was conveyed to the little
church in Coatesville, in which he died.
Colonel Charles r. Pope, who brought
back an inventory of Mr.. Norton's be-
longings at the time of the wreck, said
that he was hopeful that the ring would
yet be recovered.
81 was told" said Col. Pope, "by per-
sons who were at the wreck that it was
suggested by lady that it would be we'll
to removeRhe ring from the bruised and
swollen finger, but gentleman standing
near by said that he did not think it
could be done One of the porters said
he could get the ring off and succeeded
in doing SO.
In the excitement of the moment no
one gave the ring further thought, and
that was the last seen of it. 1t is under
stood that this particular car porter
passed on with his train east. An effort
will be made to recover the ring. It is
said the ring cost Mr.. Norton $1,000.

REMENYPS CONCERT.
The Maestro Great as Ever With His
Violin.

The Maestro Great Ever With His
Violin.
In spite of the cold weather a good
house greeted Remenyi and his concert
company last evening at Hamilton hall.
Mr.. Henry Eames, the pianist, was ap-
plauded when he appeared, and his ex-
quisite execution manifested that the ap-
plause was most appropriately given. He
responded to an encore, and was followed
by Miss Pauline Stein with vocal solo,
Miss STEMS singing was not up to the
standard of the rest of the programme,
but she also responded to an encore. Her
singing is without expression, and her
manner lacks feeling.
Remenyi's appearance on the stage
was the signal for enthusiastic applause,
and he could not play enough to satisfy
the eager audience which he swayed and
moved from laughter to pathos and
from pathos back to laughter again by
the sweep of his magic bow
After Remenyi had responded to two
encores, Mr.. Eames again entertained
the lovers of piano music.
The Ave Maria ensemble for voice,
piano and violin) showed Miss STEMS
powers to a better advantage than any
other number had done.
If there was a person in the audience
who had no soul for music, who had not
been entertained by any other number,
even that person was moved by THE
Suwanee River" as it flowed in liquid
melody at the touch of the artist.

CAN FIND THE CHICORA.
A CIairvOyant Says She is Frozen Up in
the Ice.

CHICAGO, Feb. ii. W. Kakes, a local
clairvoyant and lecturer on spiritualism,
believes he knows where the Chicora is.
He says the boat is in the ice two and a
half miles north and east of Muskegon,
Mich. None of the crew, he believes,
are alive. Some OF the dead
are in the boat. Writings will be washed
ashore next spring, he believes, that will
tell the tale of the Chicoras' last cruise.
Yakes' claim to have communicated
with the spirit of an old lake captain
named Moody, long since dead, who
Wakes says, accurately described the
locality where lies the hull of the ill
fated Chicora.
Yakes' home, up to three years ago,
was in Ludington, Mich, and he says he
knows the eastern coast thoroughly.
He has sworn a mighty oath that if the
Chicora is not found two and half
miles northeast of Muskegon to forever
give up his belief in spiritualism and
denounce it to all men.
A special from Milwaukee, Wis, says:
james Moody was lake captain of
this city. His widow is still living here.
He was drowned on the brig Lucy Jane
Parker, which sunk off Cross Village
during the great storm of Nov. II, 1888.
His family think he had leanings toward
spiritualism. Spiritualists claim he was
a believer"

Nellie Jacquemart's Second Marriage.

Nellie Jacquemart's Second Marriage.
The engagement is announced, or
rather whispered, of Nine Andre and
the Duke de Montmorency. The former
is known TO the artistic world as Nellie
Jacquemart. She is a portrait painter
of great talent and married IL years
ago M. Edouard Andre, the wealthy
banker whose home in the Boulevard
Haussmann is a veritable palace. In
1888 Nine. Andre gave to charitable
institution her wonderful collection of
Jewels, valued at 1900, 0O0 This gift
was without precedent in the fashion
able world. In 1898 M. Andre died, and
the widow has hardly been seen out Of
her studio in her magnificent home,
Boulevard Haussmann.
The Duke de Montmorency is the
brother of Prince de Sagan. In 1864,
when he married Carmen Aguado de
Las Marismas, Napoleon III created
Prince Adalbert de Talleyrand-Peri
CORD Duke de Montmorency, much to
the displeasure of members of the his
torical house of Montmorency. A law
suit ensued, but the Montmorency's
claim was rejected, and Adalbert de
Talleyrand remained Duke de Nont-
morency.
Since 1880 he has been widower,
and in 1891 his son, Count Louis de
Perigord, married the charming daugh-
ter of the Duchess de Rohan.

Bicycle and Dictionary.

The velocipede is still ignored by the
academy. Nevertheless quite vocabu-
larry is springing up around it, and great
and numerous are the industries to
which it has given rise. There is this
excuse for the academy-that the word
does not seem well fixed. It was next
changed to bicycle and ''bicyclette, !"
became later sic grand bi, !" and revert
ing toward the original word became
veloc, to end at velo. ''Velo" is now
the steel horse. There are the velo
journal, velo sport, velo man, velo wo-
man, velo tailor and velo costume. The
rule seems to be when veto enters into
a composite term for the other half to
be English. Thus we have velo race.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE.
Edison's Latest Invention = What It Is
and What 1t Does.

Edfson's Latest Invention = What It Is
and What 1t Does.
The enthusiastic interest now being
taken in the larger eastern cities in the
exhibition of the marvellous kaleidoscope,
makes little description of the purpose
of the instrument of value and interest
at this time.
The kaleidoscope brings before the eye
reproductions of scenes, as the phono-
graph reproduces sounds to the ear. 1t
does not present mere lifeless pictures or
views, but the actual living motion in all
its variety and with all its characters
tics.
As the simplest method of explaining
the marvellous effects produced by this
most wonderful of inventions, we will de-
scribe an actual scene exhibited by it
In the Barber Shop Scene.
The beholder looking in the Rineto-
scope cabinet. sees the interior of a
barber shop. man is reclining in a
chair, about to be seated The barber
gets his cup makes a lather and pro-
ceeds 70 lather the customer. Meanwhile,
a colored gentleman, the usual assistant
IN tonsorial establishments, is walking
about the room; he picks up a
newspaper and sits down to read
1t. Another. customer comes in,
hangs up his hat. pulls off his coat and,
lighting his pipe, seats himself to await
his turn. The puffs of smoke from his
pipe can be distinctly seen wreathing
upward,
The colored gentleman sees something
funny in newspaper; hands the paper to
the smoker and they both laugh heartily.
Meanwhile the barber has been shaving
this man apparently with more haste
than is consistent with comfort to the
customer in the chair, who evinces his
displeasure by sundry grimaces
Many and various are the subjects ex-
hibited, such as boxing match, fenc-
ing bout, a cock fight. bucking broncho,
etc., etc. The people living in the cities
of New York and Boston, who have not
seen and enjoyed the kaleidoscope. are
considered out of date and out fashion.

THOUGHT IT ALL RIGHT.
Captain of the Crathie Makes a Statement
to the LIOyds.

ROTTERDAM, Feb. 1.-Captain Gordon
of the British steamship Crathie, which
is generally admitted to have been the
vessel which ran into and sank the Elbe,
has made statement to Lloyd's agent
here in which he says that
he was knocked down by the force
of the collision, and that when he re-
gained his feet the two ships were some
distance apart and the Crathie was so
any moment.
In spite of this, Captain Gordon added,
he followed the other steamer, but found
that she went faster than the Crathie
and so he thought the vessel he had col
lided with was safe.
