MEXICO CITY LETTER.
THE PAN-AMERIOAN MEDICAL CON-
GREsS A SUCCESS.
American Hospital Fund Ball-Dias's Re-
Inauguration Takes Place Amid
Much Enthusiasm.

Special Correspondence
City of Mexico. Dec. 2.-The Pan
American Medical congress recently
assembled here has been a great sue
cess, not only in social way, but as
far as science is concerned. They do
say that when man has a doctor at
tending upon him he is in bad way,
but when he has three it Is time for
him to see the parson and get pass
port for the next world. Well, we
have had hundreds Of them and,
though we did not need the profess
sional services, we are all the better
for their coming. And rightly so, for
never was there n better delegation
to the city for they were not only
brainy men, but they were gentlemen
and knew how to bear themselves
with honor to themselves, their profess
sion and their countries. The doctors
came from Canada. even from the
Southern Americas. Texas was badly
represented. Some came from Gal
weston, Houston, Dallas and George
town, but / found none arriving from
San Antonio, and 1t was not for the
want Of asking, or inviting. 1t was
simply a matter of Indifference and
San Antonio missed a big ADVERTISE
ment by it The doctors were receiv-
ed royalty, The president entertain
ed them; his genial lady, Mrs. Diaz,
entertained their ladies', and as she
speaks good English, 1t was all the
more pleasant There were also va
rious other agreeable entertainments
for them. The social features en-
chanted the visitors for, as / have
said. Mexico knows how to celebrate
but the business sessions were valua-
BILE, many excellent papers being read
that were Of profit to the profession
One Of the great events OF the year
is the Charity ball, which is given ev-
cry Thanksgiving night for the Dene-
fit of the American hospital. This
year it was given at Orrin's Circus
and was honored by the visit OF the
president, Porfirio Diaz. The build
ing was most tastefully decorated and
the scene was grand one, all the Ia
dies being richly dressed and flashing
with Jewels, and the gentlemen wore
evening suits. All the leading mem
beers of the English and American col
onies were present and many Span
ish citizens were there. The ball was
very select. Admission was only by
invitation and then it cost $40 for the
ticket. 1t was also success, as the
hospital will reap from $4,000 to So
900 from the proceeds. On the same
day the hospital also received 1853, the
proceeds Of collection taken at the
Union Thanksgiving service at the
Trinity NJ E. church. These funds
are needed because many English
speaking people come here, get sick

facts, IL they are wise. These Obser-
vations do not especially apply to me-
chanics but even these have more
difficulties to meet with than in their
own countries. All fields are well
supplied, and Mexicans, though aw-
fully slow, are very good, skillfui
workmen. They work cheaper and
therefore get a preference with en-
ployers.
Mr.. Nivens, the New York archaeol-
ogist, has Just returned from another
trip to Ochimilta, the buried cities OF
which you had a telegraphic report
announcing the discovery. In recent
discoveries he found a vein OF bones.
Among these were skulls, some OF
which were brought to this city. A
remarkable feature of these skulls Is
the absence Of DOG teeth" This
would indicate that the inhabitants OF
the prehistoric cities he discovered
were vegetarians and places an addi-
tional antiquity upon the ruins.
Among the visitors to the city Is
Hon. ]. L. Slayden, who l met recent
" at the American club, Of which he
is a member. Mr.. Slayden Is well
known here and much respected,
therefore he is being warmly congrat-
ulated on his election to congress. He
thinks that it was principle, not men,
that gave him the victory. This may
be so, for Mr.. Slayden should know,
but there are many here who see In
the victory the Vaccinations OF the
"Big Six" H-R-T.

Twas present the other day at real
Mexican wedding that Of Luis Couiti
to Miss Franco and it was a grand
one. The religious ceremony occur
red at the cathedral and was full cho-
raj, the Ave Maria being most beauti-
fully sung. Then the couple had to
be married again by law as the law
takes no note OF religious ceremony,
It being based on the code Napoleon.
The party then adjourned to the ska
ting rink on San Juan de Letran, own
ed by the brides family. This large
building was most beautifully decor
ated with flowers and in the center
was a table, extending from end to
end, ladened with fruits, flowers,
and other necessities for the coming
banquet. Covers were laid for over
100 and every seat was occupied. The
banquet commenced at 2 p. m. and
lasted until 4 O'clock. After the ban
duet the tables were cleared and then
followed n ball which lasted until
nearly midnight, and it was a most
delightful affair.

frequently seen. The lone star OF Gu

president was escorted. with honr, to

Justice in legal form and was pro-
claimed president. Then he held
grand reception at the National Pal

Messengers of the different railway
lines leading out of this city complain
of a few individual sportSmen who
generally overlook the fact that a mes
senger is entitled to the small sum of
% cents each for carrying their dogs.
This is certainly reasonable
amount, and no sportsman, if such
they call themselves, should refuse
so partly n sum for the care and at
tention Of their hunting dogs while
en- route.
|. A statement that bears not one iota
of truth was started through person
al spite against one of our leading
merchants and foremost sportsmen in
this city. 1t seems that he had trans
ported some ducks from the sporting
grounds to Rockport, and there had
them placed in ice and shipped to his
store for distribution among his
friends. at the same time a note was
enclosed asking the Office to divide
the amount of eXpressage on the
game among the employees of the
house who cared to share them; this
was done. and some busybody circu,
lated the infamous report that the
game had been sold for six cents q
piece. The reputation among true
sportsman Of the merchant in question
was too we'll known and needed no
explanation to give the false report
any credence.

 Wood Finished Glass.

The various attempts which have been made to obtain an accurate imita- tion of wood in glass have now been successful The process by which the effect is produced is quite simple, says The Upholsterer, and consists i'll cloud ing sheet of plain or ground glass on the reverse side with liquid dye of a proper color to represent any desired wood. The dye is applied by means of a sponge so manipulated as to bring out the semblance of the grain of the wood on the glass surface A badger brush is used to soften the shading, and the glass is then covered with varnish This leaves the grain clear, distinct and fast without the necessity of using any gela- tinous substance, which would render it liable to shrink into crinkles, thus spoil ing the effect. To complete the opera tion the glass is heated slightly, and the various shades required for the particu- lar wood are caused to spread over it by means of syringe, the merging of the shadings into each other being prevent ed by slightly heating the glass The whole is made of semitransparent as peet by means of another coat of var nish, which also preserves and protects the dyes, and with this final dealing the exterior surface IS made to present the appearance of highly polished wood finish

 So Governor Boies held his first recep- ton after the election in a smoking car
 MT. Boies is the typical western farmer and makes his holdings bring him in handsome inooIAe. Every. acre of the Grundy county farm where he re- sides is in high state of cultivation He always keeps herd of 800 or eco cattle grazing upon it and half of the farm is devoted to stock raising. This holding is more like one of those vast, beautiful estates ill Kentucky than any other ill the west. He knows every de- tail ill the management of it. and he spends portion of every year upon it, often going out into the fields and taking q place with his men in the work. He spends his vacations upon it now, and he used to spend one or two days of ey. cry week ill looking over it. He has all other big farm i'll Palo Alto county, which contains 1, 900 acres of grazing land, and upon this he keeps lot of fine stock. His men drive his herds to the grazing lands i'll the spring, and in the fall they are brought back for feed ing.
 The ex-governor is well informed on all questions relating to farming. and believes in many of the things advocated by the Farmers Alliance, though he is conservative enough to oppose many of their impracticable theories He is an advocate of governmental control.
 Such, i'll brief, is the character and the personality of the man who may be the nominee for president on free sil- yer platform. That he will be faithful to whatever trusts are eonfided to him by his supporters is sufficiently attested in the terse, characteristic words he used at the close of the late Democratic con- vention in Iowa, when asked if he had anything to say
