Love Affairs In Guatemala.

If writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean
is to I've believed, the laws of etiquette
in Guatemala are excessively strict.
All love affairs, it appears, are carried
on by stealth. "The would be lover, de-
MED admission to the presence of his
inamorata, frequents the street in front
of her house and spends most Of his
waking hours i'll pacing the pavement
and gazing rapturously at her window,
while she, snugly ensconced behind her
bars, pretends to ignore him, though
delighted to have sutton and anxious
to show him off to all her acqra enhances.
In Spain this counting in public at long
range is known as ''plucking the tur
key" in Guatemala, as i'll Mexico, it is
called playing the bear" Always is it
continued for months, sometimes for
years, and maybe without success at all.
1.-THE result does not depend upon the
her parents. After awhile they make
inquiries into the young mans charac-
ter, prospects and social standing. If
reports are satisfactory, the senorita S
father or big brother scrapes up an ac-
quaintance with the sutton at the club
or elsewhere and invites him TO the
house. But never, never, for one mo-
ment is he allowed to see her alone or
to walk or drive with her. AS to mar
riage, civil as well as n religious cere-
mony is insisted upon by the govern
ment. By law the civil ceremony must
precede that of the church and by Gus
tom the latter is most tedious and
lengthy affair "

Buried with His Money on Him.

Not long ago a miserly person who
had been teased almost to death by hi:
heirs endeavored to cheat them out OF
his money. Before he died he left posi-
tive instructions that he should be bur.
led in certain suit of clothes His
wish was carried out, but after the flu.
neral his surviving relatives could find
no will and no money. Finally one OF
them suspected that the old man had
served them shabby trick and suggest
ed that the body be exhumed and the
clothing examined. This was do-c, and
the coat, waistcoat and trousers were
found to be lined with Bank of England

Locks and Keys.

There is nothing which more illus.
trates the progress of science and inven.
tion than the decrease in size, weight
and mechanism of locks and keys since
these instruments were first put in use
for the purpose of keeping out intrusive
strangers. Years ago these mediums to
secret chambers were made of wrought
iron and were of ponderous size and
weight. The nineteenth century, how
ever, has made wonderful improvements
on these instruments. Nowadays per-

nrlti.h NAVAL omcers, Paw.

The relative rates of American and
British naval officers pay in COMPARE
son are as follows Naval cadet, $500 !;
midshipman, e32, about Sl60: ensign,
$1,000; sublieutenant, col, about S455,
with extras as navigator, f45, about
$225; lieutenant, junior grade, 81, 800 (;
lieutenant el82 20 e256, about 5000 to
$1,000, with extras up to- e73, about
$500; lieutenant, 81, 400; lieutenants
in command, e20l TO 9274, about 81,
005 to $l,2 with extras from eS4 to
commander, 81, 500; commander, 49,,
500; commander, s~365, about 81, 1926,
with extras 70 e141, about $705; cap
tain, $4,000 captain, e4l0 to e602,
about 1850 to 5000, with extras
from col to e32S, about S455 to 81, $40.
Thus only the senior captain i'll the Brit
ish navy, with full allowance of extras,
receives more than our junior captain.
But after one gets to be captain things
change. In the first place every British
captain becomes rear admiral III a
few years, as the rank of commodore is
simply temporary, and rear admiral
starts with CT, GAG (about $S,210) and
may wind Up with e2, 737 (about $13,-
6S5). Our rear adpirals only get So, 900
at most, while their comrades of equal
rank in the army, the major generals,
get 81, 500. Then the British sailor has
two and sometimes three steps after he
gets his flag. He may become vice adj
miral, with pay ranging from S12, 775
to $15, $40, and even admiral, with pay
and allowances of SIT, 100 to $40, S35
If the British officer pulls along until
he's captain, he's all right 1t is just
the other way with our officers. Our
lower ranks are paid better than the up
per ranks proportionately. - Marine

Nutrition For Consumptives.

The following is recommended as
food that would be nutritious for one
suffering from chronic consumption,
since ordinary foods had become repug-
nant: One hard boiled egg, which when
perfectly cold is pressed through sieve
SO that the albumen and hard yolk may
be thoroughly triturated; then add to
this by thorough stirring two heaping
tablespoonfuls of perfectly roasted pea
nuts which have been ground or chop
ped very fine. This will make two in
termediate meals, say one at i a m.
and one at D. IN. A cracker or glass
of hot milk will help the ingestion and
secure perfect nutrition. Hygiene Ga

The Fair Heirs Win in the Con-
 test With Mrs CTaYen
PAPERS VERB TOReERIES
On Which the SchOolma'a Q m $
 Great Claim Rested
Now That the Suit Is Ovar Criraina ProCee dingS Against Various Persons for Forgery and Perjury Have Been Begun.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-The fa- nous case of Fair vs Angus Craven, by which the executors and heirs of the late Senator James G. Fair sought to quiet title of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven, a school teacher of this city, to two pieces of property on Sansome and Mission streets, valued at S1 ,5OO,- OO0, was finally decided today by Su- perior Judge Slack, sitting as chancel- Tor in equity. For five long months the trial of the case has dragged along before a jury, to whom it was finally submitted upon three decisive issues yesterday, but after tvirangling for ten hours that body announced it's in ability to agree upon verdict and was discharged by the court late last night.
 Judge Slack intimated that he had reached his decision at that time, but at the urgent request of counsel for the defendant, deferred rendering it until today. The courts decision was to the effect that the pencil deeds ipurporting to have been signed by James G. Fair, by means of which Mrs. Craven sought to sustain her title to the property in the contro- versy, were forgeries and that they had never been acknowledged by gaqes Fan Notary J. J. Cooney as claimed, and that there fore the acknowledgements attached thereto were also forgerIes.
 T6\ decision was evidently unex- pected by defendants counsel, who asked for and obtained a stay of pro ceedings for thirty days.
 THE CRIMINAL SIDE.
 San Francisco, Sept 1.-The grand jury began today to investigate the genuineness of the famous pencil will and deeds to Mrs. Netkie R. Craven, alleged to have been written by the late Senator James G. Fair.

OBLIGATIONS TO VISITORS.
A Promise to Tourists Which Must Be
 Fulfilled.

If the city council doesn't restrain the dog killer, there will be no un- tagged dogs left for the delectation of the eastern tourists. The Republicans special artist presents this morning a Phoenix street scene. With con- servative management of the dog question, the council will be able to afford eastern visitors the sort of amusement portrayed in the picture.
 The Republican has been induced to incur the expense of the portrayal by it's desire to boom Phoenix by laying before customers all the advantages in the way of amusement and recrea- ton afforded here. But if the dog killer is permitted to run his reck- less and riotous course there will be no dogs to be hunted, and life in Phoenix will be robbed of more than half of it's attractions. Visitors who have been drawn across the continent by what they believe to be truthful representations of the abundance of canine game on the public streets and who have invested in firearms and ammunition will naturally feel that they have been buacoed and thus the country will be given another black eye. Other persons with weak di
 gestive organs, allured by stories of flowing canine blood and appetizing odors proceeding from the decompos- ing carcasses of dogs lying unbuTied on the shore, will easily imagine that the long journey in quest of an appe- tite has been made in vain.
