LITTLE TOLEDO, THE BOY MODEL

how picturesoue he looked, when Chris
Jorgensen, the artist, spied him, was cap
tured by his beauty and determined 10
paint him.
Mrs. Camille was consulted; her con-
sent was gained, and in order TO nave MIN
90 to Mr.. Jorgensen in all his picturesque
ness Miss Wainwright gave him new
suit of clothes When he came In the
morning with all the artistic erect
scrubbed off by his well-meaning mother
Miss Wainwright took off the new clothes,
dressed him in his old tattered garments,
and after letting him play on the street
for half an hour sent him to the artist
with a clear conscience--ior Toledo looked
as ragged and dirty as when Mr.. Jorgen-
sen first saw him.
Other artists saw the study in Mr.. Jorg-
ensen's studio, and Toledo sat for them
sometimes bringing home besides his 30
cents a parcel of goodies for the babies.
But often in the nights the neigh5o-s
would hear shrilI cries OF anguish from
the Camille home, and, in the morning,
the black lines under Mrs. Camillo's eyes
would be deeper than ever.
All this had its effect. Then came
dav when Mrs. Camille recognized
neither Tony nor Jeddo nor the baby; nor
did she even smile at Toledo when he gave
her the money he earned that day. And
then she was taken away and the children
were told that mamma had gone to the
country to get WELL"

father say?"
Just then the door opened and Toledo
entered.
"Were the children good ?' he asked in
a motherly way that sat oddly upon his
eight years.
Then he noticed u.s. and when Miss
wainwright kissed him he burst into a
perfect torrent of tears, whereupon the
younger children, bound to initiate Toledo
in everything, set up howl that took
our united efforts to suppress.
"lt is lovely in San Jose," / said to To-
ledo, knowing that he was to go there.
"There are pretty flowers. bushels and
bushels of them, and green grass, and
there are trees to climb, and the sweetest
birds are there. You will be SO happy
with the kind sisters"
But Tony will not be there"-looking
at me gravely, his beautiful eyes filling
with tears again.

acutest ears in the world to have heard it,

On the other side the ground ran on

The Sistine Chapel, Rome.

The chapel is beautiful place in itself,
by its simple and noble proportions as
well as by the wonderful architectural dec
orations of the ceiling, conceived by Michael
Angelo as series of frames for his paint
ings. Beautiful beyond description, too,
is the exquisite marble screen. No one
can say certainly who made it. 1t was
perhaps designed by the architect Of the
chapel himself, Baocio Pontelli. There are

Of five days In the case of good be-
havior. In an interview Mr.. Chapman
expressed himself as follows:
There Is nothing more to be said
about the case than has already been
made public. Believing we were right,
we took the case to the highest courts,
and now that we are beaten, am dis
posed to accept the situation In a
philosophic way. l expect to serve out

Messrs. Henry Havemeyer, the presi-
dent. and ]. E. Searles, the secretary,
respectively, of the sugar trust also
reached here last night. The trials of
their cases Is set for tomorrow. With
them was Messrs. John e. Parsons,
Mr.. Havemeyer's attorney, and ex-
Senator Edmunds. The probability is
that an attempt will be made to secure
q postponement for time, on the
ground that counsel are not ready to
proceed. District Attorney Davis is
anxious, however, to push the trial.
and considerable doubt is felt whether
he will consent to delay except for q
few days.
There is a rumor that Messrs, Have
meyer and Searles have decided to
plead guilty to the charge of refusing
TO answer questions propounded by the
senate committee, but will raise the is
sue that the questions were such as
the committee had no right to ask.

Mexican Rull FIGHT Preynnted


City of Mexico, May 17.-The city
government forbade any bullight to
be given yesterday. The authorities
claim the bulls provided for the fights
are so poor that they do not justify
the price of admission asked by the
management. Enrique Meriro, a Span
ish bull fighter has visited the famous
bull breeding farms Of Atenco and
other places, and his Judgment Is
that none of the bulls shown him were
worthy of the ring. The poorness of
the animals Is getting to be serious
matter, and 1t begins to look as if bull
fighting would stop for lack of animals
to fight The government is firm, and
no performances will be allowed with
inferior cattle. A ship load of bulls
has been ordered from Spain to meet
the emergency.

THROUGH A TRESTLE.
Serious Accident to a Train Near
Ardmore, I. T.
FIFTEEN PASSENGERS INJURED.

OF These Two VIII Probably Die From
Down Plunged Twenty Feet to a
Swollen stream.
Ardmore, /. T., May IA south
bound passenger train on the Santa
Fe road, known as the Chicago and
Galveston express, went through a
trestle 16 miles south of here at S
o'clock yesterday morning. Fifteen
persons, passengers and trainmen, were
injured. Several of these are seriously
hurt, and 1t is believed that two will
die. The accident occurred near the
town Of Marietta. A heavy rainstorm,
amounting almost to a waterspout
caused sudden rise of all the small
streams in that vicinity.
The accident occurred at a point
where deep, narrow gulch was span
ned by wooden trestle. The founda-
ton work supporting this trestle was
undermined by the sudden rise of the
little streams which flow through the
gulch, and the trestle went down un-
der the heavy weight of the train. So
great was the speed of the train, how
ever, that the engine and tender, the
express, mail and baggage cars and one
passenger coach passed over the mar
row escape, though the trucks of sew
eral of these cars went to the bottom,
20 feet below. The coach next to the
last, the one Immediately in front of
the Pullman, was left standing directly
over the chasm, one end resting on
each bank of the gulch. The Pullman
