American and European journals.
Probably no article bearing on Mexican
affairs in the American papers fails to
reach him.
His memory is marvellous. No fact
escapes him. He carries all Mexico
it's political, military, industrial and
financial affairs-in his mind, having a
Napoleonic memory, and appears to be
able to separate different classes of
facts as if each were contained in dis
tinct compartment in his brain.
Once in a great while he suffers from
headache, but bis careful method of
life keeps him fit for his duties every
day in the year.
He smokes little, and only mild
cigars. He is exceedingly abstemious,
rarely taking with his dinner more
than single glass of claret.
Every Thursday he takes holiday,
and frequently goes hunting, his favor
tie diversion, surrounding himself on
such occasions with only congenial fell
low sportsmen, forbidding any allusion
to politics or affairs of state.
While President Cleveland prefers
fishing, President Diaz enjoys most of
all hunting large game. The extensive
land owners here, knowing the presi-
dents taste, frequently invite him to
hunt in their forests.
He makes frequent excursions into
the interior, and, as in his visit to San
Luis Potosi and Catorce, just terminal
ed, he always tires out his escort. He
has a sound heart and lungs, excellent
digestion, and can outwalk many much
younger men.
He occasionally goes riding, having
excellent saddle horses. In this sport
he is tireless.
The doctors consider him good for
many years active work, as mentally
and physically he is in his prime.

of Clearing" Mexican Bonds-Hunt-
ing Big Game Is Senior piaz'

Inquiries have been received in Mex
leo City from the United States and
abroad regarding the report that Presi-
dent Diaz has Bright's disease.
That report, it is surmised, has been
circulated with a view to depressing
Mexican bonds in Europe.
The New York World correspondent
called on various persons intimately
connected with the president, and OBJ
tanned the opinions of physicians IA
miliar with his condition and habits.
They declare that President Diaz is in
excellent health. Although sixty-five
years old, he has the appearance of a
robust man of fifty-fve. He is active,
quick in his movements, and has the
color of health in his bronzed, soldier
ly face.

Importance in this altitude, where
blindness often results from a sudden
transition from warm apartments to
the cooler air of the streets. This
minor trouble has entirely disappeared.
Gen. Diaz, in spite of the enormous
burden of work he has assumed, has
maintained excellent health. His ply
sicians say his sturdy condition may be
attributed, aside from a naturally
strong constitution, hardened by active
campaigning, to his regular, method
ical habits.
He invariably rises about six a. m,
takes a cool shower-bath and a very
simple breakfast. He receives by eight

BOYS Murder Their Mother


LONDON, July 19.-When the
chief steward Of the National Line
steamer France, now on his way
to New York on board of that
vessel, REACHES the United States he
will receive terrible news. His sons
Robert, II years old, and Nathan,
ii years old, murdered their mother
at Playstow, eastern suburbs Of
London, on July s. The boys
stabbed her while she was asleep
and kept the body for nine days in
the house Ia which the crime was
com mitted. When the remains Of
the woman were discovered, the
two boys were playing cards. The
only reason given by the lads for
their crime is that Mrs. Coombs
whipped the youngest Of them.
The murder Of Mrs, Coombs
caused great excitement in the
neighborhood and is attracting
much attention on account of the
horrible details connected with it.
The two boys were brought up in
court this afternoon and told the
whole story. The Coombs were

The new battle between the nwners of
oil wells on the one hand and tho city
authorities on the other will be fairly in
augurated on next Tuesday, when License
Clerk Jack Best, representing the city
clerk, will make an entirely new tour of
the oil district for the purpose of seeking

lect from each OF the 200 owners the So
per quarter recently enacted against every
we'll IN the city. City CLERK Charles A,
Luckenbach said yesterday that no par
TALLY is to be shown In the matter. Ev-
cry oil we'll owner is to be requested to
pay the license, and as fast as they refuse
com plalrts against them will be sworn
and the validity OF the ordinance will
then be in the courts.
The oil men will not pay the tax. That
much is now certain. Councilman Sny-
der. in whose ward nearly the whole oil
territory is located, says that had tha tax
been fixed at $3.50 per quarter. or so cents
month, the money would have been
paid and the various other provisions of
the law would all OF them have been
obeyed. Snyd is inclined to hold Coun-
Gilman Thomas Savage responsible for
the present condition Of affairs. 1t was
