whiyh business was done in those semi
tropical countries. This is about the gist
of what they learned:
Each bank having purchased a conces-
sion issues its own currency, which Is un-
secured by the Government, by bonds or
ANYTHING else in the way of collateral for
its redemption. The banks are entirely
private institutions, and the paper issued
by them, which passes current everywhere
in Guatemala, is nothing more than the
personal note of the bankers at the head of
each institution. Under these circum-
stances there is nothing to prevent any or
all of the bankers from going into their eel
lars and grinding out bank notes by the
bushel The public has absolutely no pro-
lection, so it may be inferred that fnan-
cial catastrophe is bound to occur sooner
or later.
To give an idea of the valuation given
Guatemala currency, it may be said that it
is legal tender nowhere but in Guate-
mala, where, probably, it is carried in
preference to the bulky silver soles. The
Pacific Mail Company viii not accept the
paper in payment of passage Or freight
even at a discount of so per cent.

cepting in very small quantities, and the
agents of the President make it their duty
to gather it up for their master.
On one occasion President Barrios sent
one of his Ministers, man named Con
zales, to one of the banks, with demand
for 100000 in paper, which loan was re-
fused him, as his word alone was given as
collateral security. 1t was a fatal mistake
on the part of the bankers, who might
easily have ground out that paltry sum in
their cellar Barrios, in his indignation,
ordered a boycott of the banks paper by
declaring 1t would not be accepted for
duties at the customs. This action virtu-
ally killed the bank, as its paper was
henceforth tabooed, Just as a plugged
quarter might be rejected by streetcar
conductor.
1t is such people as these bankers and
merchants who are anxious not to go to
war, but to see Barrios step down and out.

Matson resided at Ben Lomond for nearly
two years. For some time she was en-
ployed as night Waterman at the Ben
Lomond Hotel. Later she rented a house
from Mrs. Corbett. She asked for the key
with which to get into the house to look
at 1t and then took possession.
An effort was made to get her out, but
without success, until man forcibly en-
tered the house, slapped her in the face
and threw her out bodily. she said at
the time, sThat's the first time a man ever
laid hands on me. I was an infant in his
hands"
One night some men broke the windows
OF the house to get her out, and other men
went to her protection. She was very
nervous after that. AT Ben Lomond she
smoked pipe. Her ways were effeminate
at times, but no one suspected that she was
other than she represented herself to
be. She left Ben Lomond owing many
unpaid bills.

FRESNO, Jan. 28-There is decided
feeling of confidence in the new competing
railroad movement among the business
men and farmers of Fresno and all are
anxiously awaiting the development of
the plans in course of preparation by its
promoters. The people here will give the
enterprise all the assistance they possibly
can. 1t is believed that the entire work of
grading the road will be contributed; that
a very large part of the right of way,
depot sites, ETC., will be given outright or
for nominal consideration, and that con-
siderable amount will be subscribed The
hope is general that the undertaking will
be carried forward promptly, as further
delay would result in turning public at
tention to Los Angeles, where many feel
that they will obtain relief should San
Francisco fail them again.

MOUNT VERNON, n. Y, Jan. 28.-The in
FAINT son of Mr. and Mrs. William Trode
died of pneumonia last Thursday night,
and an interment was arranged later in
the cemetery of the Holy Sepulcher, which
belongs to the Church of the Holy Sacra-
ment, at New Rochelle The hearse and
seven carriages containing the family and
friends reached the cemetery all right.
Mr.. Trode owns plat in the cemetery and
the grave was ordered dug there. Grave
digger Patrick Fox, in carrying out the in
structions, struck a large rock near the
surface, and as time was short he dug a
grave in the public part of the cemetery,
thinking at some other opportunity, when
not so hurried, to blast out the rock in
Trode's plat and renter the infant.
The funeral party arrived at the grave,
when a discussion arose between the
mourners and the grave-digger as to the
correct location of the grave. A wordy
war ensued, which resulted in the grave
digger taking one of the strips Of wood
used in supporting a coffin over the empty
grave and hitting one of the mourners,
John Callahan, who had become very
boisterous. This was signal for general
attack on Fox.
The men of the party promptly armed
themselves with the wooden crosses with
which several of the surrounding graves
were marked, and a general fight ensued.
This was only stopped when the drivers
of the funeral coaches and several passers-
by interfered. Grave digger Fox was
badly hurt, and several persons received
black eyes and bruises. The body was
finally buried with the assistance of the
mourners, the party returning to Mount

NAPA,s sHR1EVALrY CONTEST.
There Were No Startling Deueto,,me ssts
yesterday.


NAPA, Jan. 28.-Large crowds attended
the trial of the election contest of Dunlap
VS.. Mckenzie to-day, but nothing very
startling was developed. Two precincts
were counted and they showed a gain of
two votes for Mckenzie, while in each pre-
cinct several votes were objected to and
laid aside to be passed upon by the court
later on. John Brocco swore that he was
resident of Vallejo on election day, but he
came here and voted for Mckenzie. He
formerly lived in this county and he was
registered here. This threw his vote out,
as he was not resident of the county at
the time of voting. Several witnesses were
called who swore that J. A. Lowery told
them on election night that he had voted
for Mckenzie. Low3ry is one of the men
who were arrested on Saturday for illegal
voting and who swore that he voted for
Dunlap.
