Started by a Woman.

St. Louis, Aug. IA special to the Re-
Teresa, the Mexican woman who has long
been revered as a saint by the natives of
chihuahua and Sonora, and who is be-
lieved to possess the power Of healing the
sick by the laying on Of hands, is believed
to be more or less responsible for the
present outbreak among the Yaqui Indi-
ans. George Harold an old Texas ranger,
now policeman Of FL Paso, says that he
is confident that San Teresa is RESPONSE
BILE for the outbreak. Harold was one of
the officers who rounded up the ring
leaders that raided the Mexican custom
house at Palomas, Chihuahua, a few
years ago.
"San Teresa" he said, "was implicated
in that rebellion which was crushed in It's
incipiency. Every rebel captured on this
side Of the line had a picture of the wo-
man in his possession. and on the back or
the picture was inscribed one Of her pray
ers."
San Teresa escaped to Ell Paso and re-
manned here a year or more. While here
she was visited by thousands. About a
year ago the woman disappeared from
this locality, and it afterwards turned out
that she had gone to Sonora, and had
taken up her abode in the edge or the
Yaqui villages, where she was safe from
molestation by the Mexican government
| 1t is believed she melted the Yaquis to
| revolt. The woman is described as frail
and delicate looking. She undoubtedly
| possesses great magnetic power. Harold
| and others are confident that her pres
ence in the Yaqui country had a great
deal to do with the uprising now assum-
| ing alarming proportions.

dent. Engineer Starr, who superintended
the building of the bridge, today said the
bridge was perfectly safe in every re-

Studying Canal Routes.

P. Davis, chief photographer of the Unit

Of the Nicaragua route investigation, and
will subsequently examine the other pro-

1T is now generally known that five
distinct routes are under consideration
the Panama and Nicaragua routes of
course and then continuing down the San
Bias route at the narrowest part of the
isthmus, the Caledonia bay route and
lowest of all the Atrato river route, at the
very edge of the South American main
land. The San Bias line would demand
a 3G-mile cut and a seven mile tunnel.
There are no objections to the Nicaragua
route hat anyone could not surmount,
the chief problem there being to make
and preserve harbor al the eastern end
of the canal. There is only five feet Of

A woman travelling through noun
famous purt Of Germany recently came
upon small party of young women
pedestrians, who had just started out
on days journey, each of whom car
ried long alpenstock, with long black
streamers flying from the uplifted end.
The floating pennons indicated mourn
ing or woe of some kind but the joyous
demeanor Of the sightseers did not car
ry out the impression. On coming near
er the observer noticed that the stream
ers were black stockings. Every even
ing the walkers, arriving at stopping
place for the night, did IA small amount
of laundry work. and as the stockings
never seemed to get perfectly dry, each
morning saw the damsels starting out
with black stockings floating on the
breezes. OF course they were American
girls.

UNCLE SAM SLOW.
He Takes as Much Time Settling q
sfXteen-Cent HiIl as Others
That Are Larger.

A grizz'ed veteran Of two big wars
and several smaller Indian combats
was relating stories of his experience
while in the service OF Uncle Sam. One
of them that will show your Uncle Sam
uel one Of the real business men of the
world is told by the veteran, as follows:
Il went through the civil war, and
rose from the volunteer ranks to first
lieutenancy, and was assigned to the
regular army. In June, 1873, while at
tached to the quartermaster's depart
ment OF my troop disposed of some oil
to private parties. In selling the oil
sold one gallon more than had, and
turned the money over to headquarters
before discovered my mistake. ! then
wrote the department at Washington
asking ii to return the price of the oil,
so that might have my accounts
strengthened. AS only 16 cents was in
volved thought the matter would end
by the return mail bringing back the
amount Of the claim. In that | was
much mistaken, as ] am still forced to
answer documents that read: In reply

SO forth, till ] have in my possession
stack OF documents weighing not less
than so pounds, and still they come"

TRAVEL ON THE LAKES
Very busy by the Tour
ist Travel.

The travel on Lake Michigan by boat
is immense, far beyond any popular es.
innate. The along-shore routes from
here to Racine, Milwaukee, lake ports,
further north as far as Green Bay, and
the routes across the lake 10 Michigan
points are crowded throughout the sum-
mer months and in the early fall, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Great numbers
also embark at Chicago for Lake Su-
perior. All the craft on the lines to
Mackinaw, Marquette, Ashland and
Duluth are loaded with tourists. A few
years ago the lakes were almost desert
ed by travellers. Within year or two
the attractions of lake travel have been
widely appreciated by the public, and
a trip ON the floating palaces" so to
speak of the lake navigation companies,
with soiourn at resorts or in camp at
favorable points. Is understood TO De
the best outing that felloweitizen
of moderate means can find within his
reach. A trip up and down Tie great
lakes serves the same purpose rs trip
across the continent by rail to create u
vivid conception of the greatness Of this
country. The length of the lakes is
some 1900 miles, and to produce m ap-
probation of their remarkable divers-
ty they should be seen from both tlirec-
tions, making voyage as long as that
across the Atlantic. An American who
has not travelled on the lakes from Buff
falo to Chicago and TO Duluth and back
again is not fitted for foreign travel;
lie has no images of his own country TO
compare with the images of oth1r coun-
tries which IAay be formed in the mind.

RESTLESS ANIMALS.
They Are Always Walking About In
Their Cages Because They
Need Exercise.

When you see the animals in the park
menageries pacing back and forth rest
lessly in their cages do not take it for
granted that the creatures are unhappy
or even discontented. 1t may be that
the lion or the tiger or the polar bear
that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native jungles
they are kept pretty busy hunting
food. Thus each day they walk many
miles, perhaps. In their narrow cages
in the parks they are plentifully sup
piled with food, but their brawny
bodies still demand great amount of
exercise. Mile after mile is paced off
daily by the uneasy creatures. Usually
they move with a long. swinging stride,
but when meal time comes around then
the step quickens until. when the keep
er appears with his baskets of meat.
the tigers and lions and other animals
leap against their bars and growl and
whine and lash their tails. In fact, they
act like great, hungry boys do after a
long days tramp II they find that snp-
rer il late.
