The Revista of Juarez does not like
it because the street cars run in their
present direction, and wants the man
agement to reverse the order of things.
The chief difficulty seems to be the ter
rible hardships the editor of the Revista
is subjected to in making street railway
connections with the Mexican consulate
in this city.
Mrs. Bauche has returned with her
children from quite long visit to the
Mexican Capital.
present fiesta has opened quite as
auspiciously as last season. However,
it is doing purity well, thank ye,' so
it will be all right anyhow.

Juarez parochial church on Saturday.
January :, in cOmmemOration of the

academy at Chapultepec next month.
Mrs. Eugenia Daguerre de Najera
has returned from Nogales where she
has been visiting with her sister. Mrs.
Anita Daguerre de Ogarrio, wife of the
Mexican collector at that point. The
two went down to Guaymas where
they were entertained, and had fine
time.
Charles Richardson, of Juarez, has
laid an asphalt sidewalk in front of his
premises in Juarez, and the RevisJa
takes the occasion in patting him on
the back for so doing, to call the city
councils attention to the necessity of
reforming many of the Juarez side
walks which appear to be in bad con-
dition.
Juarez is to feel the effects of the
new woman in the appointment
as postmistress OF that burgh, of La
Srita. Maria Rosel. Miss Rosel has
been officiating as postmistress at
Nogales, where she will in few days
hand over to la Srita Manuela NJ
Marquee who is known in literary cir
cles as ''Fidela.''
Colonel D. Joaquin Terrazas is visit
ing the different military posts in the
second military zone.

from the Mexican Military academy.
The English school in Juarez is do
ing well under Mrs. Helen Thompson.
Silviano ChaireZ has been sent to
Chihuahua to serve out an eight years
sentence for opening another mans
letters.
The Juarez papers are holding their
noses and crying "Whew, what a
SMELL" The occasion of this is the Or
namentation of the streets with dead
dogs which are run over by vehicles
as they decompose, and the atmos-
phere is thereby laden with odors not
of Araby. The Revista wants this class
of street decoration abolished.
An all night dance and social was
given recently at the residence of Sr.
D. Pablo Cuaron.
Luis l.. Samaniego has recovered
from his severe illness.
Guadalupe day was appropriately
celebrated last Saturday in the Juarez
church where mass was sung by
several prominent senoritas accompan-
led by number of Instrumental musi-
clans.
