The lecturer before closing spoke briefly of the political situation in Me&l- co. He said that Mexico was nomin- ally 0 republic, but really officials are selected and not elected. They are al- ways elected by unanimous votes. In one of the states a while ago some young men thought they would insti- ute a reform. They were imprisoned until after election, when they were re- leased and would not attempt to inter- fere with freedom of choice in elections again.
 President DiaZ has made many im- portant reforms in the country. He has separated the church from the state. The first great crisis, it seemed to the speaker, would come with the death of Diaz. At present the country has freee silver, which is partly set by a high tariff, which has developed the manufacturing interest of the country
 MT. Clark also expressed the opinion that while the annexation of Mexico was not to be thought of, yet all thoughtful persons must realize the im- portance of our relations to that coun- try This relation will be more impor- tant as the country becomes more and more developed. In closing, he said: If Mexico were across the ocean thou sands would go to visit it. A physician has told me that if pulque was $l5 a glass intsead of a cent a glass many would go there especially to drink it.. as it is highly advantageous to many. The mines of the country are uneX- hausted and the land has great fer tilty."

BOsToN's CLERICAL RoMANY,

'T have 1t on the authority of Will liam Dean Howells and other eminent Bostonians that there is in the capital of Massachusetts a certain clergyman of widespread frame, who, unknown to the world at large, is a Romany. Every summer this reverend gentleman can not resist joining some gypsy band and roaming from place to place as his kindred have done since within the memory of man. Little do the good mans congregation dream that, while they picture him as sedately journeying abroad, he is sitting beside gypsy camp fires and chattering the wild Romany tongue, to all intents and purposes a vagrant. But as MT. Howells pointed out, none ever heard it said that this preacher preached any the worse for his wild, free life over road and prairie, Indeed, the increased vigor and elo- quence of his sermons immediately after each successive annual vacation have long been matters of comment in Boston.

A HALLWAY THIEF CAUGHT.

It has been acsertained by the detec- tive bureau that Felix Gallagher, who was arrested Wednesday for the theft of an overcoat from Officer Ward, while the latter was calling at a house on Franklin street, has also done other jobs of a like nature, and 1t is thought that much of the thieving from halls of residences may be traced to him. Yesterday the detectives found a coat which Gallagher had stolen from c. c. Mix, who rooms at 123 Yark street, and also a macintosh belonging to another party, which he had stolen from the hallway at the same number.

4 Great Fro Fighter.

The New Yorker made her earliest
appearance as fire fighter at the burn
ing of the sound steamer City of Rich
mond at her pier, foot of Peck slip, on
March Z, 1891.
She was called from her berth at the
Battery and, sailing up the East river,
"opened fire. OH the burning boat with
monitor nozzle while still in mid
stream. The stream struck the boat
with terrific force, knocking the wood
work in every direction and breaking
off strong uprights and supports as if
they had been pipestems. There were
several land companies working on the
boat at tie time, both engine and hook
and ladder, and they dropped their hose
and tools and fed in dismay at the be-
ginning of this liquid bombardment,
fearing for their lives.
The chief i'll command at the fire rush
ed to the end Of the pier and signalcd
to the New Yorker to shut off the
stream that was creating such a panic.
For moment the order was misunder-
stood, and, thinking the stream was
wanted in anothcr position, it was shift
ed. In doing so it hit the end Of the
pier and almost lifted the roof of the
wharf building at the end. Finally it
was understood on board the New York
er that the big stream was not wanted,
six smaller lines were substituted by
her crew, and these greatly assisted the
land forces i'll getting tie fire under

Indoor Photography.

To make good portrait i'll the ordi-
nary room is quite a difficult task, as
all the light to be had comes through
the window and leaves the shadow side
Of the portrait underexposed. This can
somewhat be remedied by the use Of a
piece of white muslin about - feet long
and about feet wide or more
Stretch a string across the room par
allel with the window and fasten it to
a point about six feet from the window,
and also six feet from the floor. Fasten
the muslin over the top of the window
and throw the other end over the string,
allowing it TO fall TO the floor. This forms
a sort OF one-half side of tent, and
this somewhat confines the light and re-
fleets it on the shadow side of your OBJ
ject and helps to brighten and soften
the light. III using curtains for back
ground place them back of the sitter as
far as the wall will allow, so as to pro-
duce soft effect. Place the sitter about
three feet from the window and about
opposite the far side Of the easement.
Pull the window down from the top, and
perhaps it would be best to cover up the
lower part of the window with some
dark cloth or paper. Close all doors so
as not to have any draft, and then make
the exposure. A. Boos in New York

MEN BURN SPONTANEOUSLY

Medical Science Records Instances of the
Combustion of Flesh From Within.
When Dickens used so effectively the
spontaneous combustion of the human
body as climax for novel, he had
back of him great deal of evidence
that such miracle had actually taken
place.
In an article on The Pathology of
Man. " in the old French Encyclopedias
Methodique, D'Azyr gives the case of
woman so years of ago who had made
practice of going to bed drunk every
day for many years. Her bones We're
finally found in tho bed with the flesh
charred from them, as scientists sup
posed, by spontaneous combustion.
The somewhat similar case of Grace
Pitt is given III the transactions of the
English Royal society. She was the
wife of q tiShmonger who lived at Fps
witch, and she was found stretched on
the kitchen floor by her daughter, burn
ing, the girl said. without flames. y
Her body and legs reSembled snoldering
Goals and when water was thrown on
her gave forth tho odor of scorched
flesh, accompanied by sufocatins
smoke The girl ran from the house and
called in the ncighbors who found
nothing but bones and charred flesh left
of tho woman She, TOO, had been 4
hard drinker.
a third case given in French essay,
is that of Nine. de Boiseon, so years
old, who lived near Dol. 1t is said
she was very lean and that for several
years she had drunk nothing but spirits.
Her waiting maid found her burning
in her room, the fire in her case, as III
the others, seeming to originate i'll the
flesh itself and not in the clothing.
Water thrown on her failed to check the
fire, and she burned until nothing but
her skeleton remained in the chair.
The chair itself was only slightly
scorched. New York World

Eccentric yyoofnc.

Numberless anecdotes are related OF
the ecccntricitics and characteristic acts
of Rev. Lorcnzo Dow, the famous itin-
Grant Methodist preacher. Mr.. Collins
relates that when he was widower, he
said to the congregation one day at the
close of his sermon:
81 am candidate for matrimony,
and if there is any woman in this audi
ence who is willing to marry me, !
would thank her to rise u
A woman rose very near the pulpit
and another in a distant part of the
house. MIR Dow paused moment, then
said: .'There are two. I think this one
near me rose first. At any rate, l will
have her for my wife. ,"
This woman was in good standing
and possessed of considerable propertyI
Very soon after this eccentric wooing
she became Mrs Dow.
