The quiet neighborhood of Dyer ave-

tressed about o'clock yesterday after
noon because a woman who was suf-
fering from a temporary attack OF in

her house to "A Hebrew rag pedler for

woman's condition, but he paid no heed

the house and piling them on his rick

bicyclist rode through the street and
was told about the affair. He gave
chase and when the pedler saw that he
was being followed he turned back The
pedler was made TO return every arti-

finances Of the country. Upton Is en-
thusiastic over Venezuela. He predicts
long peace for the country and declares
there is no likelihood of war with Co.'s
ombia. Gen. Castro, who may be
called the DICTATOR" said Upton, has
made splendid impression and will,
believe, give the country an administra-
ton which will be all that could be de-
sired. He started we'll by refusing to
punish any Of his opponents. He de-
clared In favor of free press and free
speech; has released all the political
prisoners, and refused to permit the
continuation of CONSUMPTION. He is
young, full Of vigor and ambition and is
immensely popular. President Andrade,
forsaken by his friends as well as by his
troops, was forced to flee the country.
He had been in Office about thirty
months, and in Caracas it was said he
had several million dollars when he
sailed for Barbados. When Gen. Cas-
tro entered Caracas Andrade's soldiers
welcomed him, and he simply took
command without changing the aspect
of affairs. The only effect of the revo-
luton is the delay of business. Gen.
Castro was unknown, when with 100
followers, he crossed the frontier from
Colombia. After marching 500 miles he
had a rafbble following him of perhaps
5000. Opposed to him We're 5000 troops
belonging to the government. These
troops, however. We're not loyal, hence
Gen. Castro's success almost without
