MEXICAN MINISTER'S WIFE.
One of the Most Gracious HOstesses

Nine. Romero, wife of the Mexican
Minister at the national capital, enjoys
the reputation of being one Of the most
gracious hOSteSScS. as we'll as one of
the most diplomatic entertainers, Of
all the brilliant society stars who are
now in Washington. 1t is a genuine
pleasure to attend her receptions and
dinners, for the reason thai not only
are they always handsome affairs, bu;
are given with Il heartinesS that shows
That Nine. Romero does not entertain

a desire to please her friends by cX-
tending 10 them the hospitality of the
me legation in | street. The first re-
r'ption of the season at the Mexican
legation was Il most enjoyable affair.
Mil". Romero wore Il costume of black
i'rrSdun silk. with trimmings Of the

Glass pitchers, handle and all in one

is in reality glass paper. The glass

most remarkable inventions in glass, by
the way, was that of a Venetian, named
JOquin. in 1856. He noticed that the
scales of Il fish, called the bleak. gave
a milky hue TO water. and that glass
beads dipped into such water looked
like pearls when dried. Subsequently
the idea was conceived of making hOl-
low beads of glass and lining them
with the peculiar substance from the
scales of the fish. and it is in this way
that the so-called Roman pearls are
now manufactured. The most merit
Gus inventions do not always obtain
adoption. For example, several good
processes for making glass bottles by
machine have been patented. But they
are not used to any great extent, be-
cause the trade of the b~ottle-makers
is conservative. and the wOrkmen's
unions are against the Introduction of
machinery.

about 1000 religions. The number of
men and women is very nearly equal.
the average longevity of both sexes be

most careful computation, only one per
son in 100000 of both sexes attains the
age of 100 years, and only six TO seven
in 100 the age of 60. Generally. taking
the entire world. married people live
longer than single. and those who have.

ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Son of Anastacio Cavazos Killed by
Band Of Robbers Attacking
His House

A telegram was received here this
morning announcing that robbcr'
had made an attack on the house OF
Don Anastacio Cavazos at the Mes
quite ranch and killed Hunicendo
Cavazos, the son of the former. The
scene of this bold attack is at the
Mesquite ranch about six miles
north of Arroyo Colorado. No par
iiculars wore given, and the number
of the robbers is not known.
Immediately upon receipt of the
news, Sheriff Forto dispatched
force of twelve deputies, distributed
along several different roads, with
instructions TO investigate the matter
thoroughly and follow the robbers
trail. He has also placed officers on
guard on the river road to prevent,
il possible, the escape Of the robbers
to Mexico.
Mr.. Cavazos is a man of some
means and at one time kept large
sums of money in his house, but it is
known that he now keeps his money
in town. Doubtless the robbers
were not aware OF this and thought
to secure considerable booty by at
lacking the house.
Sheriff Forto has offered a reward
of $50 for the arrest of one or any of
the murderers.
