THE O'NEILL CASE.
Failure Of the Promised surprise to Ma
teriaIize.


Special to EVENING HERALD.
PoTTsv1LE, Sept. 25.-Contmry TO ex-
pectations the promised surprise in the
O'Neill libel suit did not materialize. II was
stated late yesterday afternoon that Mr..
O'Neill's counsel would appear in court this
morning aud take steps that would probably
result in overturning the verdict or lead to
al investigation IN connection with the
jury's deliberations. Mr. O'Neill was at Potts
willie today in consultation with his counsel
and it is believed that the matter was not
brought before the court in consequence Of
the inability of the counsel to get it in proper
shape. Reports have gained circulation that
the misdemeanor charges would be dropped
in consequence of the result Of the libel
suit, but assurances were given yesterday
afternoon that the case would be pressed to
trial at the November term Of court.

MODERN MEXICO.
The Place In It's building Up That Pres
ident Diaz Holds.

When once we had spoken of the school
system President Diaz has created for
Mexico-the theme which more than any
other seemed to kindle him-and when
he had given in five minutes an astonish-
ing birdseye view of huge field, he add
ed, ii seemed to me with fine mingling
of dignity and pathos: And the English
is compulsory. So, when we, the old, are
gone, Mexico will have two idioms.
And again, when the theme was the
steps up which one by one he has handed
Mexico from Intermittent anarchy to sure
peace, he said gravely and with that same
terseness: at needed something of the
strong hand ia mano dura) But every
year il could relax. Now, though there
are some who do not love 'Porfirio, all
love peace. 80 the fist is wide OPEN. There
is full liberty-free schools, free ballot,
free press. They may do what they will
so they do not fire a gun at me. " Here is
the keynote of modern Mexico-a dictator
ship which has spent ungrudgingly its
blood and its care for the country's prog
ress.
1t is this man, whose eye and voice and
step belle the half of his years, that has
wrought the Mexican miracle And If he
has put new face on his country it is not
whit moro remarkable than the trans
formation he has wrought upon his own
shoulders. This has been TRANSPORTATION
of which know no parallel. Making due
allowance for the change of fashion in
facial landscape gardening, Porfirio Diaz
was not from the start visibly frontispieced
by fate for all that he has become. Within
youths memory he wore the mere fea-
lures of soldier. Even in the seventies he
might have been a chief of rurales. But
today his face is unmistakable, and
proverb for "the handsomest man in Mex
ico" BY sheer features this is not true
But by the collective impression 1t Is. In
O generation he has given himself new
face, and even made over the shape of his
head In all the breadth of regenerated
republic there is no more striking monu-
mcnt to the thought il has needed TO turn
the Mexico in which Juarez died into the
Mexico of today than the very head of the
man who did it.-Charles Il. Lummis In

MONKEYS.
Between Five Hundred and Six Hundred
Imported Annually-Buyers and Prices.

Imported Annually-Buyers and Prices.
There are imported into this country 500
or 600 monkeys annually, which come
chiefly from Africa and India by way of
Europe. Natives catch the monkeys and
carry them down to the shipping ports,
where they sell them to sailors aboard ship,
or more likely TO captains of vessels or TO
agents of European dealers in animals.
Sometimes on shipboard rope Is tied
around a monkey, and it is permitted with
in limited space to roam the deck. Usu-
ally, however, monkeys are shipped in slat-
ted boxes Some monkeys are brought di-
rect to this port, but 10y far the greater
number go to the animal dealers in EUl-
rope. where the monkeys imported here are
bought
Occasionally small monkey is sold for
pet, but the number now sold for that
purpose is very limited. There is still some
demand for monkeys TO be carried by or
gan grinders. Though the monkey has dis.
appeared from the city it is still carried to
some extent by organ grinders in the coun-
try. But the great demand for monkeys
comes from the show people. The monkey
is particularly sensitive to drafts and to
changes of temperature, to which it is often
subject with the constantly changing To-
cation of circus mepagerie. The average
life of IA monkey under such circumstances
is about year. The menagerie practically
renews its stock of monkeys annually.
Under favorable conditions indoor mon
keys live in captivity for, it may be, IL or
10 years. Monkeys rarely breed in cap
tivity.
One importer of birds and animals in
this city carries in summer stock Of
about 200 monkeys; in winter usually
about 80. Single monkeys sell at about
Sl5 each. In lots Of 30 or more, good as
sorted monkeys of different species and
sizes are worth about S12 apiece New
