1 suppose there Is no place in the
world where umbrellas and rubber
shoes are 80 extensively used and
there is no place where they are
more needed than in Mexico dur
ing the rainy season, that lasts
usually from April to September.
This far they came later and are
now in full blast, but will soon
terminate. Rains come every day,
generally between three and eight
o'clock, but they are fitful in their
visits, and may come any time
during the day. Sometimes there
is only a light shower, at other
times quite a storm. Usually
there is only one shower day, but
there may be two or three, as it is
not safe to 60 around without an
umbrella. These rains are benefi-
cial and make the valley fertile,
but they are very inconvenient for
the time. When the season ends
hardly a drop Of rain will fall fol
six months and all will be bright
sunshine and cool breeZes. This ID
what makes this place an Ell Dora
do in the winter.

give the statements made and have
the reader to form his own opin-
ion. The faithful have discussed
this matter for a year and are still
discussing it. They generally hold
to the miracle theory and the
church sustains it, but there are
doubling Thomases in the faithful,
aye even in the church. Those out
side the pale of the Catholic
church hint fraud and pay high
compliment to the merits of the
artist who they think effected the
convenient change in a most won
derful way.
The managers of the railroad
companies here say that there will
be big crowds Of visitors this
winter and that as soon as the
elections are over Americans will
be coming in their hundreds and
thousands, for it will be q good
place to escape the taunts of
friends and the sneers of enemies.
The railroad men also expect big
boom after election. Mexico, they
say, has been so unjustly abused
on one side and so over-praised on
the other that it will bring crowds
here to see how things really are
for themselves and many of these,
finding it profitable so to do, will
stay. There are many Americans
here now, but it is safe to bet that
in a few years where now there are
a hundred Americans there will be
thousands, and that far more
Americans will be found in the
mines, in the coffee lands, and in
other sections that yield a mag
nificent harvest for capital and
labor. II. R.T.

LOCKHART LOCALS.
A Weeks News in General From
This Place.

Lockhart, Tex, Oct. 24.-Dis-
trict court is in session here at
present, but is dragging along
slowly. The criminal docket was
taken up Monday and the follow
ing cases were disposed of:

murder, set for Monday, the Goth,

and it would take time, trouble
and expense to get them out on
bail. Then the chances are that
very heavy fines would follow.
The law is strict in regard to
newspapers and is easily invoked.
Since l have been here 1 have seen
many newspaper men GALL Next
cans) jailed for offenses of the like
character, and yet, in my opinion,
were justified, and the complaints
were of trivial character.
Monday was the first apniver-
sary of the coronation of the cele-
brated painting of the "Virgin Of
the Guadalupe, and it was gala
day with the Catholics. Flags
were flying from the churches,
high masses, with choral services,
were celebrated, and many resi-
dences and buildings were deco
Grated. At night illumina-
tions were seen every
where. 1t was not q general
holiday, for the Virgins real day
occurs later, but many good Catho-
lie gave the Virgin an additional
celebration.
There is a curious controversy
going on and 1t Is this: The pic
ture of the Virgin Of the Guada-
lupe, that was miraculously i'm
printed on the tilma of Juan
Diego in 1881, and which is now in
the church of Guadalupe, has since
that day and until recently been
frequently copied in oil paintings,
printed in colors and photographed
and in all these instances the Vir-
gin is represented as wearing a
crown. Some time ago the ladies
decided to put on the frame a valu-
able crown and innumerable and
valuable jewels were contributed
for that purpose. The crown was
made in the same style as that In
the picture and is of gold studded
with fine diamonds, rubies, eme-
raids and other precious stones
1t is q work. of art for the mere
making of it cost $4,000. Its
value is not known, but 1t is esti.
mated that 1t runs far into the
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
Then suddenly 1t flashed upon all
the popularity, not to say incon'
sistency, OF browning an already
crowned figure. But the work
must 60 on. The church had or.
dered it, the pope sanctioned it and
the crown was made. When the
picture was taken for browning, 10
and behold, the painted crown had
disappeared and only the blue
rebosa that covered the head re-
manned. Then arose the contro
versy. Some cried another miracle
and declared the Virgin had pre-
pared the way for her new crown
others ACQUIRED the church Of alter
ing, or having altered, the picture
to suit the occasion. There were
those who denied that there was
ever any crown on the Virgin's
head in the picture and the crown
in the copies was simply an i'm
aginative tribute, such as an hale
that artists place around saints
heads in theft pictures, but this
was contradicted by those who de
clared the crown was on the saints
head, but they had noticed that itI
outlires grew fainter and fainter
until it disappeared. j do not pre-
tend to give any opinion, / simply

Special Correspondence.

| Special Correspondence.
City OF Mexico, Oct. l4.-There
has just been shown here hor-
rible example OF military discip-
line in Mexico and prompt punish
ment for It's violation. Antonio
Navarro, trooper, shot at his off,
Ger, Lieutenant Gomez, but missed
his man. He was arrested and
tried by court martial and sent
enced to deaUh. He appealed and
the appeal was heard in both APP
pellate courts, but the sentence
was affirmed. An appeal for Glenn
ency was then made to President
Diaz, but was denied. 1t is said
that he had been guilty Of similar
offenses before, and this, in the
oponion Of the military officials,
made clemency inadvisable. All
this was done on Saturday and
Monday morning following was
fixed for his execution. The pris-
oner spent Sunday in receiving
friends and in his spiritual devo-
tions. AT night he slept soundly.
About 5 o'clock next morning he
was awakened, dressed and march
ed to the point OF execution, the
Plaza de Armas, in the suburban
town of Santiago. He marched
calmly and steadily to wall, placed
his back firmly against it and
gazed calmly at the platoon OF
soldiers that were to execute him.
The priest then bound a handker-
chief over his eyes, whispered to
him and then retired. Navarro
walked about ten feet forward and
stood with his arms folded. The
officer in charge raised his sword
as a signal to fire. There was a
volley and Navarro fell to the
ground. The soldiers Immediately
advanced three steps and dis.
charged another volley at Navar-
ro's PROSTATE form. The force OF
the volley raised the body from the
ground. The body OF the mutt
lated soldier was then placed on a
stretcher and carried to the hos
pital, where il was laid out and
viewed by many people. 1t was
tu6u pTeIdEeu luz uuIldl ouo III
TERED. The execution was wit
messed by many people. Among
the crowd was an American lady,
who tainted at the first volley.
The others seemed to enjoy the
scene as much as il it were a bull
fight. Navarro through the trial
and execution was quite calm and
unconcerned. He said that he did
not value his life and did not fear
to die. The only concern he had
was for his daughter, and
as she had 8 good hus-
band it did not matter,
and as he had been shriven it was
we'll. He certainly passed the or
deal we'll and died like q soldier.
The sequel of the military exc
cution will be the trial the early
part of next week of Lieutenant
Gabriel Guzman, who was shot at
and wounded by the unfortunate
soldier. Guzman is charged with
abuse of authority.

daily on the results Of the games
which are witnessed by large

Among the occasional visitors
here is Captain Britain who is
we'll known in San Antonio and
was manager Of the Menger hotel
when Charles Davis, his father-in-
law, was proprietor. Captain
Brilatin is engaged In mining and
naturally is considerably away but
when he can sojourn in the city
he always does so.
Paper is made here in consider.
able quantities, though much is
imported. The prices are about
the same as in San Antonio. Some
kinds are higher and some lower.
For instance good wrapping paper
can be bought at from 80 to 80
cents per ream; writing paper,
ruled, s vo. size, at Is cents per
ream, and envelopes at from ST. per
thousand, and 80 on. Some .mer-
chants use wrapping paper, others
old newspapers, that are worth 3
cents per pound, but many, espe-
cially butchers and those who sell
bacon, lard, butter or anything
greasy or wet, wrap your purchase
in q corn shuck or cabbage leaf.
This seems odd at first, but you
get used to it, and l don't know
that it is not better, for there is no
danger OF grease or water running
through a shuck or leaf. This Is
an old custom that originated
when paper was scarce and dear
and the natives chung to it.
The Diaz government has estab-
lished the metric system of weights
and measures. There has been a
little difficulty in so doing but all
are gradually working into line.
This has been a far easier task,
than when the American system OF
coinage was introduced, for even
to this day the majority trade on
the real system. They don't say
one dollar, but will say reals-its
equivalent. This system enables
them to cheat foreigners out Of a
few cents, and they do 1t every
time If you don't look out. They
are, however, compelled by law to
sell on the metric system and, II
they won't, you can enforce the
law by simply calling geudarme
who will speedily adjust matters
or march the offender to the conf
SARA. 1t is not safe to monkey
with the law here.

oxceent report upon the rapid transit plans.

raised to that mode of relief Travellers

SELVES from the sunshine and the open air for
..a given length OF time" 1t seems to us that
q good deal more importance has been attached
70 this argument by opponents OF the scheme
all through the discussion than really belongs
TO It. and that some Of the apprehension when
has been expressed has been artificial and In
sincere 1t may be that there Is such general
prciudice as the Commissioners describe, Dut
there is little evidence Of 1t. Such question
can be settled only by the practical test or ex-
periencc but in the mean time 1t should console
anxious persons to reflect that large proper
ton of the inhabitants Of NewYork spend, not
4 few minutes twice Il day, but most OF their
lives in places less cheerful and wholesome than
the ears Of the underground railroads Will prob
ably be- They sit hour after hour in lllighted
and ill-ventilatcd rooms while they are about
their business and in numberless cases are not
better off when they go home.
II is universally conceded that tunnels OF the
old type on steam railroad lines are an abom-
inaton. They are dark, damp, dirty. full or
smoke and gas. and oppressive alike to mind
and body But they are also the precise reverse
Of what the rapid transit tunnels in this city
are planned to be- and assuredly will be. The
latter will be clean. dry, brightly Illuminated by
electricity which does not consume the atmos
pherc and constantly supplied with currents
Of fresh air. There will be no smoke and gas

part of the time the daylight conditions VIII

the ears Of the Manhattan Company. and after
dark we should expect the superiority OF the
underground roads TO be still more marked
And therefore. even assuming that the preJ'l-
dice which the Commissioners concede now ex-
lists we see necessity for borrowing trouble
on that account. Americans are sensible peo-
