CONVERTING A CITY
Novel Method Adopted by a Chief
Who Captured Queretaro

Queretaro was a town before the
Spanish conquest and was made city
in 1856 A legend of Queretaro is that
an Otomite chief, Fernando De Tapia
by name, undertook to convert the city
to Christianity in way that seems nov
Ell TO US, but was common enough to his
day. He came from Tula with chal-
lenge to the people of Queretaro to
fair stand up fight. If he won the peo-
pie surviving We're to be baptized. The
challenge was accepted, but while the
fight was in progress a dark cloud, came
up and the blessed Santiago was seen In
the heavens with fiery sword, where
upon the people of Queretaro gave up
and were baptized. They set up stone
cross to commemorate the event on the
site of the present Church of Santa
Cruz. There is scarcely church in
Mexico which has not legend Of this
kind attached to it. The town is identi-
fled with the history Of Mexico.
Here the treaty of peace between the
United States and Mexico was ratified in
1S4S, and here Macmillan made his last
stand in 1867, was obliged to surrender
and was shot. Everybody is interested
in Macmillan, mainly on account OF
obtained permission to revisit Mexico.
Macmillan was executed on the Cerro
de las Campanas, and with him General
Miramin and General Media. The place
is marked by three little crosses OF
stone. The two generals were killed at
the first volley but MaximiliarA who had
requested that he be shot through the
body that his mother might look upon
| his face, was only wounded, and Sec
ond firing was required to kill him. The
emperor had been led to believe that
Carlotta was dead. She became insane
from grief and, was kept in an asylum
for many years, but she still lives and
still mourns for her dear husband ard
for the loss of her throne. The United
States government protested against
the execution of Macmillan, but in vain,
Juarez refusing to spare him. There
are all kinds of relics of Macmillan in
Mexico The Yturbde theater, where
he was tried and condemned, the table
on which the death warrant was signed
! the wooden stools on which the prisoner
sat during the trial and the coffin OF
Macmillan, whose remains were subse-
Quently sent to Austria and buried at
Miramar. I confess do rot share in any
sentiment of pity for Macmillan, who
was an adventurer without shadow OF
| right in Mexico, and took the chances OF
war. He was, it is true, victim of Ma
poleon and. of his own ambition, and was
very scurvily treated by those who had
induced him to set up his throne ir. Mex
leo but to have released him would have
been to establish claimant for the
Mexican throne. 1t was better that this
man should die than that thousands
should be sacrificed in the wars he
would surely have fomented If he had

ALL1aAToRs ARE FOND OF DOGS
Exhibit Their Affection by Swapping
Them Off the River Banks

The big gator in the waterworks lake
hasn't had square meal since he killed
Lee MacDonnells Irish setter. The fact
is he found dog SO succulent that he now
turns up his nose at ordinary beef The
old chap now spends his time scanning
the horizon for dogs.
One jumped the fence surrounding the
lake yesterday and stood on the shore
tapping his fill of water, unsuspicious
that danger lurked so near The bin
king eye of the crusty old saurian saw
him, however, and saw him quickly.
The gator sunk so silently that no rip
pie was disturbed, and made bee line
under the water for the canine; there
was the flash of the gators tail, a sheet
of foam, yawnng mouth serrated
with sharp ivory, but he missed the dog.
The water was too shallow for him to
draw near enough to deliver the coup
de grace, but worse frightened dog
one never saw. He gave a startled yelp,
leaped the fence and crawled shivering
from the spot, glancing back now and
then with his big scared eyes to see if
that horrible apparition was following.

better to enrich the blood than straw

with firm flesh, like apples, cherries or
plums, should be thoroughly masticated,

The skin of raw fruit should never be
eaten, and before eating grapes or any
small fruit care should be taken to re-
move all impurities by washing. Never
swallow grape stones. Stale fruit and
unripe fruit should never be eaten, and
very acid fruit should not be taken with
farinaceous foods unless the person has
vigorous digestion.

JUSTICE GRAY'S LIGHT SAVED
His Neighbor Denied the Right to
Build a Big Bay Window

| Washington.-Gordo Mckay will not
be permitted to build the bay window
projection he planned for his Hotel
Arno. The bay was to be five feet wide,
fourteen feet long and six stories high.
1t would have adjoined and overshad-
owed the entrance to the residence of
Justice Horace Gray of the supreme
court, on 1 street. right in the center of
one of the extremely fashionable resi-
dence quarters of the city. In letter
addressed to the commissioners Of the
district, Secretary Alger says he cannot
approve a permit for the construction
of such an extension upon the public
parking. 1t would, in his opinion, de-
prive Justice Gray of a portion of the
light and air to which he is entitled, be-
sides practically destroying all privacy
and comfort in the use of the entrance
to his house.
This decision of Secretary Algers was
made in the first case brought under the
provisions of law which had it's origin
in the construction of the most singular
residence in the District. A feature of
the scheme of improvements began by
the famous Shepherd regime of quar-
ter of Gentry ago was the reduction Of
the width of the roadways, the fraction
reserved being known as parking, and
adjoining the building line. Lot owners
were permitted to use not exceeding
five feet of this for the construction of
bay windows and corner towers. A lib
eral construction Of the privilege was
made, and the first apartment of the
house in the city was studded with bay
windows, covering territory valued at
$50, 900. Ten years ago Mrs. Cole, daugh-
ter of the late postmast general, Ho-
ratio King, who owned. house built in
the angle of Massachusetts, avenue and
M street, conceived the idea of extending
it under the nominal form of bay WIN
dow on both thoroughfares, so as to
make an entire new house on the park
ing. Neighboring property owners OBJ
jected, but she triumphed over them
both in the courts and in congress, where
they took the case. The result of the
controversy was the enactment of the
law in question, by which future permits
for bay windows on the parking were
made subject to the approval of the Sec
rotary of war. The Cole house is an i'm
posing structure, and was occupied by
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Hamlin under Mr.. Cleveland's recent
administration. 1t is attached to the
residence of the Rev. T. Dewitt Tall
mage. for which he exchanged with Mrs.
Cole his Brooklyn residence. 1t stands
on one of the most slightly corners in
Washington, but, as the location is pub
lie ground, the interesting question
arises, How will the owner dispose of it :?
Apparently it did not go with the house

enjoy the prospect opened by the con-
troversy just ended. 1t makes the Sec

Fruit and the Complexion

Each year people grow to appreciate
more fully the value of fruit, and eat
it not as luxury, but as a staple article
of food. Fruits are nourishing, refresh
ing, appetizing and purifying, and con-
sequently have effect upon the health
and the complexion. Yet there are differ
ences. Grapes and apples. are highly
nutritious. Grapes usually agree with
the most delicate persons, for they are
so easily digested. Nothing is easier to
digest than baked apple taken either
with or without cream. Oranges, lem
ons and lines are of great value as a
means Of improving the complexion, and
they are especially good if taken before

There was one situation in Judah"
where the minister perjures himself to
shield the woman he loves, and such was
the diversity of opinion aroused thereat
that special matinee was organized to
which ministers of ali denominations were
invited, and 70 other persons attended.
The play was never known TO go better,

These remarkable productions were in

forthwith made proposals to Mr.. Willard,

the distinguished actor made bis first ap-

intensity. After leaving the Princess, one

other villain, and he gave them 'Dick

of the play cut short Mr.. Wizards career
of stage crime, which he has only recently
