Consul Tucker Tells How He Shell
tered President Diaz.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
"I sheltered President Diaz Of
Mexico some years ago, when he was
refugee from his own land" said
Captain j. q. Tucker, United States
consul to Martinique, at the Ebbitt.
"He had been at the head of rev.
olutionarY movement that had fail
ed and escaped across the Rio
Grande to Brownsville. I invited
him to my house.. and he was my
guest for about four months. During
that time he impressed me as man
of extraordinary ability and force of
character, and between us there
sprang up a fraternal attachment.
Diaz thought that he could rely on
friends in Brownsville 10 furnish
him means whereby he could renew
the fight on the national forces, but
when the time came they did not
make good their promises.
zone evening on going home 1
found him pacing the hallway with
restless stride and evidently i'll a
very agitated frame of mind. ask
ed what the trouble was, and he an
swereds Il am in the most desper-
ate situation, without a-iollar or a
friend IN the world. l know not
which way to tarn.'
"'You may be without dollar
but never without friend as long
as / live, general said L, and then 1
talked with him till he got in a
calmer mood. Then told him OF
something 1 had resolved on doing
weeks before, which vas to let him
have q good round sum of money for
the purchase OF arms and ammuni-
ton. In those days had some pref
ty fat government contracts, and a
few thousand dollars didn't matter
much. Diaz was the happiest and
most grateful mortal I ever saw. In
the plentitude OF all the power he
has since welded, doubt whether
he has ever felt the Joy that possess
ed him that night when he learned
that he could have all the money
needed for his immediate use. Tie
actually shed tears Of delight, and
on that felt rewarded, not caring
whether 1 ever got my money back
or not.
"Its too long a story to tell in de.
tail OF how / went on to New York
and got the rifles and ammunition
and what time we had in eluding
both the Mexican and American Of
ficials and getting The arms across
the river. But the thing was man.
aged, and it gave Diaz the start fol
another campaign that ended in his
complete triumph. Before that wal
consummated, however, he passed
through an experience that reads
like chapter from Jules Verne. Nc
man ever lived that has had career
so full Of romance and hairbreadtt
escapes. Yes, he repaid me in full
for the money I advanced. He il
the soul OF honor"

Gladness Comes

\A/lth a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you purs
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Cautious Prophet,

in these days, when people are wont
to complain Of any mistake mado IN the
prognostications sent ont from the
weather burean, it is amusing to read
81 the complaisaut manner in which
Cloush, in his new England Alma
mack" for the year 1902 aud later, pre-.
dicted the weather.
Perhaps, ne says. from the 18th
h the 23d of January, 'it will be very

or ON the sunny side of fence at noon. -
In April he says: perhaps wet
weather if it rains. - Nov fair wealth.
er if the sun shines - Windy or calm. -
And in July he writes pleasantly,
IF low the weather do prove fair, PEG,
pie TO Cambridge do repair "
1t appears that Mr., Samuel CIough
knew how to secure himself against

CATARRH MEANS DAN
GER,

Because if unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established Therefore, it is
useless to try to cure catarrh by out
ward applications or inhalants. The
true way to cure catarrh is TO purify
the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great blood purifier, cures catarrh by
its power to drive out all impurities
from the blood. Thousands of people
testify that they have been perfectly
and permanently cured of catarrh

The Opera House VIII Be Crowded, Be-
cause Everybody Admires Corinne.

Tonight the Kimball Opera Comique
company. headed by the peerless prima
donna, danseuse, Corinne, and 60 vocal
lists, comedians, dancers and operate art
lists, appear at the opera house The pro-
duction of Hendrix Hudson, Jr." as
presented by this notable company, has
proved by its four months run in Chi
cago. 100 nights in New York and eight
weeks in Boston, to be the most conspic-
uous and attractive of the nineteenth
century novelties and financial successes.
1t is conceded by musical critics that
Corinne is the finest lady mandolin solo
list i'm the world. She is an accomplished
musician and has made the mandolin
study. II has taken years of practice I'M
der teachers, both home and foreign, TO
attain her present title. Her professional
career has been remarkable and particu-
larly interesting. She is one of the few
artists that can charm an audience with
out apparent effort. Her entire being
seems to be a rollicling compound of
nerves, energy and magnetism. She is
bubbling over with mirth, and inspires
the play with the spirit OF her own per-
sonality.
1t is unnecessary to Judge Corinne by
others. She is true to her own genius
and powers. and her impersonations not
only bear the stamp of superiority, but
they have successfully met the polished
criticisms of able pens. Corinne's COM
panion players embraces the names of
many well-known artists, namely: Ben
#. Grinnell, Charles Fostelle, Lindsey
Morrison. Barney McDonough, j. Henry
Mack. Frank Hayden. Otto Craft, the
Nichols Sisters. Mabel and Lulu. Lillian
Knott, Fannie DaCosta. Georgia Rush
and chorus numbering sc voices The
scenery Is said to be of the most elabo-
rate description. The Everglades OF
Florida, the Egyptian Palace, the Santa
Maria, the Midway Plaisance, the Falls
OF Niagara, the real steam launch and
the fountain of youth being especially
grand.
