A new industry has arisen in that
world that connects the rialto with
Park row. 1t is founded by an organi-
xation that supplies theatrical sensa-
tions, and among a certain class of peo-
pie it is supposed to fill long felt
want. The manager Of the new organi-
cation visits the press agent of some
show that is badly in need Of ,advertis-
ing.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
Claims to Be Benefactor ,to wsaha.s<
Mankind.

There 10 always moro or less supicion at
tacbed TO anything that Is offered free, but
sonnet tines q man so overfioWs with Ren-
erosity that he cannot rest until his dis
covery II known to the world, In order
that mis- fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. II IL upon this princi-
pal that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
desires to send free to mankind prescrip-
ton which will cure them OF any form OF
nervous debility; relieves them OF all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly lisb BILE to and restores the
organs to natural size and viaor. As It
costs nothing to try the experiment 1t
would seem hat any man, suffering with
the nervous trou bles that usually attack
men who never stopped TO realize what
might oe the inal result, ought to be
deeply interested IN remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence OF untold misery. As the remedy
In question was the result OF many yesrs'
research az to what combination would be
peculiarly effective In restoring to men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nerv-
ous weskne ought to write for such o
remedy at once. A request to II. Z. Olds,
Box 1,625, Kalamazoo, lhich., stating that
you arc not sending for the prescription
Oh: of idie curiosity, but that you wish to
make use OF the medicine by giving IL a
trial, will be answered promptly and with
out evidence as to where evidence came
from.
The prescription Is sent free and ell

Gen. Marquee, who was sent from
Queretaro to protect the city OF
Mexico and strengthen the forces
OF Puebla. Gen. Diaz met him on
the 9Th OF April at San Diego Ma
tario and defeated him. He followed
up this victory, and on the 10th Of
| the same month he again defeated
hhim at the battle Of San Lorenzo.
Gen MARQUEE nlssn returned to the
city Of Mexico With his Hungarian
forces.
Gen. Diaz followed him'and>kaif-
seige to the city and on the 10th OF
June 1907, the imperial army sur.
rendered to him.
He then moved into small
house In the suburbs and estab.
lished his headquarters in the
office OF the School of Mines, where
he remained until July 10Th, when
President Juarez returned to the
city and once more took charge OF
the reins Of government.
The next day, July goth, Gen.
Diaz called on the president ard
presented his resignation as COM
mander OF the army of the east,
and soon after he returned to his
native city and was again received
with open arms by his fellow citi-
zens.
On account OF his services to the
state and human liberty the legis-
lature OF the state Of Oaxaca made
him a present OF the hacienda de
la Noria, to which place he retired
and lived for two years, on the
18th of July. 1872, and Lie Sebas-
tian Lerdo de Teiada succeeded
him and at the expiration OF that
term he was declared elected for a
second term by his partisans. But
there was a strong feeling mani
tested by the leading citizens
throughout the country and the
army against his reelection. They
favored Gen. Diaz on account OF the
valuable services that he rendered
in driving the foreign invaders out
of the country.
A revolution was started in his
favor, but before IL materialiZed he
had to flee from the country that
he loved so we'll and fought so
hard for. So on the 9th day
of December, 1875, he took
steamer at Vera Cruz and went to
New Orleans, and from there to the
Rio Grande, where he gathered
around him few struggling
friends and started for the City OF
Mexico, but before he reached
there he was. defeated by the
Lerdo troops and he had to again
seek refuge in the United States.
In 1870 he organized another
army on the Rio Grsnde and
marched toward the City OF Next
co. On the 18th OF November 1875,
he met Lerdo's army at Ticsal,
and routed it.
When President Lerdo heard Of
the great victory that Gen. Diaz
gained over his army, he and his
cabinet fled to the United States.
On the 23rd OF November 1870, Gen.
Diaz at the head of his victorious
army entered the City OF Mexico,
and on the 2Sth Of the same month
he took charge of the reins Of
government. He formed his cab.
met and raised a loan OF 100000
to start the new administration
With.
But as Lerdo had a strong follow
ing in some localities, and they
were strongly entrenched, Presi-
dent Diaz left Gen. Mendez as
president ad interim, and took
the field in order to stamp
out the Lerdo party, and in the
space OF two months he marched
from the central states to, Guada-
lajara and captured all the Lerdist
troops without firing gun; re

marched around.
PRESIDENT PoRFIRIo DIAz.
In this connection L propose to
give the readers of the Daily
LIGHT brief sketch of one of the
greatest and wisest rulers of the
age.
1t was on the 10Th of September,
1880, in the city of Oaxaca, state OF
the same name, that he first saw
the light of day. His parents were
Jose Justine Diaz and Dona Petro-
ma Mary. Oaxaca has been called
the birth place of heroes, the gar
den of the gods and cradle Of patri-
otism and the tomb OF conquerers.
Porfirlo Diaz's ancestors were
Spaniards, who left the mother
country soon after CorteZ con-
uuered the Aztecs, and located in
the state of Oaxaca, and contrib
uted much toward the develop
ment of the state.
When Porfirio was seven years
old he was sent to school, and at
the age OF fourteen he entered the
seminary, which was directed by
the Catholics, as his parents de-
sired that he be educated for the
priesthood. In the mean time his
father died, and the young man
sought to do something to main
tain his mother, so he gave lessons
While thus engaged he met some
of the leading men OF the state,
among others Benito Juarez, who
afterward was elected president.

serving his fourth term, and il
his life should be spared he will
serve another, as the foreigners, as
we'll as the natives, call for his re-
election.
1t is in honor of such man that
the citizens of Monterey celebrate
the day; and their prayer is,
"Long Live Porfirio Diaz."
