San Francisco, Feb 9.-The only de-
tails of the assassina ton of President
Barrios, of Guatemala, received here
came in private messages to wealthy
coffee planters.
They all agree in the fact that no
uprising followed the death of the
president, but they do not tell who COM
mitted the act Prospeso Morales. who
was the head of the recent revolution,
sent dispatch today from Mexico, say
ing that he was on his way here. In
the message he declared that he was
not party to the assassination. and
that it was a. great surprise to him, as
he expected to see Barrios overthrown
by popular uprising.
Morales did everything man could do
to make the recent revolution success
full, but soon after it started he warned
his friends here not to mix in it. as the
revolt was premature, the people not
being thoroughly aroused.
Since the revolution ended however,
the feeling against Barrios has in
creased In bitterness and had the rev.
olution been delayed for six months il
would have been successful. Just after
the revolution ended, "a number of Qua
temalans, who were greatly incensed
over the cruel orders of Juan Aparicio
and ether prominent men, who refused
to contribute to Barrios's cause. offered
a reward of 500, 200 for the head of the
dictator This reward was guaranteed
and il is thought by the Guatemalan
colony here that the assassination was
committed by some one in the hope Of
getting this reward. Very recently
Morales's sympathizers issued a proc
lamation declaring that Barrios would
not be I'm power on March IS. the an
niversary Of his election. Barrios never
cut any figure in San Francisco like the
two Ezetas, because he was a quiet
man, little given to showing himself ON
dress parade.
Gen. Antonio Ezeta ives known to
everyone here because he delighted in
getting himself up In gaudy southern
white duck trousers, and stalking up
and down Market street Barfios, who
spent several months here, lived quietly.
His tacit,rn manner gave the impress
sion that he was stupid, but he could
talk we'll on any general topic and was
especially well informed on military af-
fairs His wife was a popular society
woman.
Manuel Estrada CABRERA who has sue
ceeded Barrfos temporarily, was min
lister of agriculture, and the ablest man
in the cabinet. Guatemalsns here
think that he will be able to keep the
country from a revolution, as he did
not approve Of Barios's arbitrary
course In declaring himself dictator
and in multiplying the power Of congress

Not Do 1t.

The news of the assassina ton Of

temala, was confirmed yesterday after
noon at the Guatemaian legation in this
city.
The first vice president. Manuel Es-
trada. Cabrera, assumed the executive
chair yesterday. The legation has no

The fact that the constitutional vice

an indication there has been no revolu-
ton and that the death OF the presi-

Truth to tell, Maggie was somewhat
ahashed at the imposing procession
which presented itself, and which had
been augmented on the way by at least
dozen friendly urchins. But she be-
haved beautifully, of course, to the ad-
miration of the proud Ned and the in
tense satisfaction of her friends, who
crowded into the dingy room or peered
through the open door to see what was
going on.
The negotiations were conducted sat
lsfactorfly to all concerned, especially
to the onlookers. who escorted the dele
cation to the end of the alley and part
ed from them with a rousing cheer
AT certain hours of the day a neat
little lunch room in the vicinity of the

students and representatives, for all of
whom red-cheeked Maggie, in white
apron and cap, has a smiling word of
welcome
Later in the day. when it is an off

quarter, it is thronged with a unique

At first she had been regarded with

the boys.
One morning. Maggie appeared with

There was a line of boys outside
waiting for the doors to open, when
there would be an onslaught for the
few left over-pies.
They trooped in as usual, but Mag

There was a howl of dismay, and the
boys crowded in front of the counter.

a boy going to tend. He'd do cheaper"
There was a second voice of disap-
proval, so vociferous that the baker
appeared in the doorway. The boys
fed. Once outside they held an indig
nation meeting.

Steve declared. 'She amt very strong,
and she's got a father to support, and
he's most dead, and work is dreadful

The boys looked aghast at the sug-
gsstion. She's just got to go some
where else right away" one of them
declared. I'VE must find her a place
today"
Thereupon an agreement was made. |
A place should be found and the en-
tire trade of the whole Row should be |
transferred to the place which should |
be selected. This would be an induce
ment to any proprietor. So the boys !
scattered with their papers and boxes,
and the news spread.

was a difficulty between Clarence

man scarcely capable of carry ing on an

OF all the specialists in the world, there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of women'S
diseases as Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
Clans he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. DR..
Pierce is pre-eminently sympathetic ply
stefan. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of wornan's work. and the disadvantages
under which she 1abors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant " examinations " and local
treatments - insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DIR. P1erce'S
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious local
treatment 1t imparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
