grest,people and occupies promi-

cemetery with the grand mausole-
umn of President Benito Juarez
on one side and General Comon-
port on the other The principal
officers Of the government stood
around the statue and, as the band
played a patriotic air, laid flowers
on and about the statue and then
a patriotic address was made by
designated orator. This done
salute was given, the party retired
and the return march was made
to the National palace,
AT THE TOMB OF JUAREZ.
Before leaving the cemetery l
examined the msuseleum Of Presi-
dent Benito Juarez. 1t is inclosed
in a large building of iron bars
and stones, ornate in character,
and is covered outside and in with
innumersble wresths Of immor-
tales and punches Of flowers.
The monument is a massive one

of Mexico. The tomb there Is
somewhat massive but COMPARE
lively humble, there is no monu-
ment, the inscription is simple,
there are no flowers and it is COM
paratively neglected. This is the
grave of the great General Santa
Anna and his wife. And this is
the great Mexican general and
dictator who plagued Texas for
many years, spreading murder
rapine and ruin around, that
caused the massacres at the Ala
mo, Goliad and other places I'M
til he was defeated by Houston
and captured at San Jacinto and
compelled to give Texas her free
dom. If Houston had been
of Juarez's character he would
have had him shot and he was
blamed for not doing so. Provi-
dence seemed to avenge the
wrongs of Texas. He was driven
out of there and branded as a
butcher and assassin, was as
Weyler is in Cuba today. By his
own people, he was deposed, BAN
ished and condemned as a tyrant
and traitor. Today there is none to
do him honor and few that respect
his memory. Indeed Mexicans
seem ashamed to own him and he
lives only in the infamy Of the his
torical records of Texas and Mex
leo. What more bitter fate could
befall one who had assembled the
pinnacle of rank than to sink to
such a degradation? The de-
tenders Of the Alamo and the
martyrs Of the Goliad were most
bitterly avenged. Houston spared
his life it seems, only that he, Sants
Anna, should endure the torture
Of what must have been to the
fallen Santa Anna a living hell

government must provide accom-
mediation for the education Of
all children. IL does its part
and 1t makes the parents do
theirs. They must send their
children regularly to school I'M
less there is a legitimate excuse,

ment or both. Thus the rising
generation will be educated and,
being the more intelligent, will
be the better citizens.
THE TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION.
The lady and gentlemen delegates
Of the Texas Press ass ociation ex-
cursion to this city spent several
days here and i had the pleasure
of NEE ting many of them. They
saw the president, the people, its
beautiful buildings, and all that,
and seem to have had good time
generally, for Bohemians always
do that, but there was no or
ganized reception nor none of the
hearty receptions that we have
found in San Antonio, Galveston,
Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas.
The fact, however, is that the
Texas Press association, except
for sight seeing, pleasure and
taking notes and illustrations, is
rather out OF its element here.
The English speaking population
are too apathetic to get up a recep-
ton and the Mexicans, though
polite, courteous and liberal, can
not well do so without leader.
Here there is too much "manana"
That means tomorrow and tomor-
row never comes. To much Of
such matters are left to another
and so on until it is never done.
1t was not the want Of interest
or liberality but a want of energy
Of setting the ball rolling and
keeping it on the move. But l
am afraid it causes the visitors
much disappointment If not cha
grin. 81. R-T.

Male Gazers in Store Windows.

"Rosalie" writes a sly note to the Lis
tener" Of the Boston Transcript. asking
whether '!t is true that men ever look
at their reflections in plate glass windows,
as We women always do when We have a
good chance. 1 thought had seen a gen.
tleman do it, but my brother says he was
not looking at the windows. but through
them at the goods that were displayed In
them"
The Listener" loyal gentleman that he
is, declares that Rosalie's brother is right,
Of course. Men have been seen to look
sideways in passing plate glass window.
and at the same time to put an as pect
Of satisfaction, and even to slacken their
pace as they looked, but they were GER
tainly looking at the goods displayed In
the windows. If sometimes the goods
shown in these windows were millinery
or dress goods or some material which or
binary men have no interest in, the cir
cumstance may be explained by the fact
that there are men who deal in these
materials as a matter Of business. and
their interest in them in passing was
doubtless purely commercial one"

From the New York World.
Out in the wilds of Wisconsin in the little
rural village of Martintown, Green county,
lives one of the most industrious men of
the century. He is Peter Haase, a cabinet
maker. Ten years ago he conceived the
idea and perfected plans in detail of the
nc st ingenious and elaborate combination
bookcase and writing cabinet in the world.
Having saved enough money to support him
the remainder of his life, he began the con-
structon of not only one of these cabinets.
but of fifteen, finishing a certain part Of
each at the same time before advancing
farther.
The cabinets are inlaid with all of the
rative woods, the boards having been in his
shop seasoning for over eighteen years.
When completed the fifteen cabinets Will
contain 4,DUOp0 pieces of wood. Some idea
Of the time required for the completion OF
this undertaking may be had by knowing
that it would take a man working eight
hours day one year to simply sort and
count a million Pieces many of which will
have to be handled twenty times by Mr..
Haase before being permanently adjusted
The top of each cabinet is to contain 11,9yv
pieces and each of the posts 1900. TIE
aged workman figures that ii will take him

Mr.. Haase is Seventy-one years of age,
but is hale. hearty and full of hope and de-
termination to complete this wonderful
work, to which he applies himself en-
Enthusiastically every workday. His patience
and perseverance are remarkable He
counts on each cabinet being worth s., OD0--

BURGLARS Mt Work.

Some time last night burglars entered the
variety store of ]. A. Grobo, No 245 Canal
street, by cutting the front window, and
stole a quantity Of cigars, tobacco, ciga-
Iettes. hosiery and other articles. 1t is
thought that there were two or three in
the party, because Of the condition in
which the store was found this morning.
Not only had the articles been taken, but
the burglars helped themselves to various
articles of food i'll the store. Today Po-
iiceman Curry arrested a colored man
named Lewis Allen whom he found with
some tobacco and cigarettes in his pos
session. The tobacco was identified by tne
storekeeper part of his stolen property.
Allen denied that he had robbed the store,
and said he got the goods from a colored
boy. The police are now looking for the
boy.

At Law Over a Corpse.
From the Minneapolis Times.

Minnesota courts will soon be called up
on to unravel a tangled web of facts and
law. Some men digging a ditch near the
town of Bic omer unearthed a well-preserv-
ed petrified corpse on land belonging to G.
H. Mcpherson. They loaded their find on a
wagon and took it to town. where they be-
gan exhibiting it for money.
The show proved profitable. and Mr..
Mcpherson set up claim for the stone
cadaver on the ground that it was found
on his property. He secured writ Of re-
plevin. and the sheriff took possession of
the petrification. Finally the original claim
ants gave bond. regained possession of
their find and resumed their tour.
1t seems probable that the body is that
of a Frenchman ramed Lecount, who was
murdered a score Of years ago and buried
near the spot where the petrified body was
found. The Frenchman had a pretty wife,
and in a quarrel about her a traveller shot
him. He has two sons living. and it is
said that when the case comes before the
courts for final disposition they will assert
their claim. which will complicate matters
more than ever.

Matter.
THE GENERAL QUESTION

LONDON, July 1.-THE Marquis of Sails
bury laid before the house of lords today
papers on the subject of arbitration. His
lordship said that the negotiations between
the United States and Great Britain were
not complete, but that they are advancing
amicably.
On the question of Venezuela, regarding
which the United States had assumed an
attitude of friendly protection, difficulties
arose out of the fact that Venezuela's claim
placed tWo-thirds of the colony of British
Guiana subject to arbitration.
Inc hrst thing necessary was to as
certain the real facts in regard to the
controversy from the history of Venezuela
When that had been fully ascertained by
commission in which both countries had
confidence he felt that the diplomatic
questions which would follow would not
be very difficult of adjustment: but, even
II they should be, those difficulties would
De overcome by arbitration
1T had been impossible to move faster
owing to the absence of full knowledge
or the facts in the case. The labor in
Volved had been enormous.

question with considerable caution. He
ielt that in matter of such supreme i'm

A young colored woman named Mary
Warfield was taken suddenly i'll while at

He denies that he touched Mary.
