CARPENTERS TRAVEL LETTERS.
First of an Important Series to BE
Printed I'm the Saturday Star.


Printed I'm the Saturday Star.
The Evening Star tomorrow will print
the first of series of travel letters from
Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter, which promise
to be of unusual interest
Mr.. Carpenter started recently for trip
through South America, which will ex-
tend no less than 25,OOO miles and
carry him into many out-of-the-way
places of which comparatively little is
known in this country. Mr.. Carpenter
will travel entirely around the continent,
making many trips into the interior and
prosecuting thorough study of the re-
sources and people of the various countries.
He believes firmly that South America, in
sense, belongs to US, and that we should
possess her markets for our own, SO that
his letters are likely to prove particularly
valuable as giving an idea of the oppor-
tunities of trade with the United States
In his first letter, from Colon, Mr.. Car
penter gives a brief outline of his South
American tour, with a description of the
trip from New York to the Isthmus of
Panama.
The Stars host of readers will find q
great variety of other matter of timeli-
ness and interest. In addition to the fifth
installment of Rider Haggard's fascinat-
ing story, "Elissa." there will be another
short story from the pen of Cutliffe Hyne,
entitled THE Pearl Poachers," which ex-
GELS In interest any of the other tales from
this popular author hitherto printed in The
Star.
For reasons too obvious to mention par
ticular timeliness attaches to several arti-
cles in the Saturday Star on various fea-
lures of the United States army and navy.
while In all the other departments that
go 10 make an up-to-date newspaper to-
