MEXICAN COURTESY.
People Along the Rio Grande Are
Very Polite in Their In
tercourse.

The MeXicRns observe many little
courtesies that an American rarely
thinks about. writes j. p. Cranke in
Womam's lone Companion. For. in
stance, ,wo gentlemen meeting on the
street grayeiy salute each other by
raising their hats. AS they invariably
extend this same salutation to their
American acquaintances the latter
must respond in kind, and thus the hab-
it is formed. 1t is often laughable to
see two Americans meet, and with
grave dignity doff their hats through
the force of habit acquired in their in
tercourse with MeXicans, and then OBJ
serve the expression of their faces as
they realize what they have done. The
only passport to the best society is the
culture and character of a gentleman.
If man is not gentleman, were he n
millionaire, he could never penetrate
that charmed inner circle that obtains
i'll every border town. The MeXicans
are equally exclusive. A letter of in
PRODUCTION from one side of the river to
the other will, however, give a stranger
instant recognition socially. They are
exceedingly careful about these intro
auctions, and Il man must be well
known to somebody of Importance be-
fore he can secure one. 1t is a rule in
Mexico that the one who introduces a
stranger in this way is responsible even
for his bills. The American habit of
writing everybody letter of recon-
mendation does not, therefore. prevail
here. But when one does get in Introduced
the McXicans never weary in. showing
courtesies. To the Mexican your friend
is the same as yourself and should have
equal attention.

quently he expressed regret that he
should be the cause of trouble to
others. His mind was perfectly clear
and he knew that the end was at
hand. He called his wife to him and
told her to go to his desk. look into
his private drawer and bring him two
papers that she would find there. He
looked them over and handed them
back to her saying, "Ihese are my
Wills, preserve this one and burn the
other" Then speaking to Colonel
Lear, he said: cat length l am 60
ing. Have me decently buried, and
do Lot let my body be put in the
vault in less than three days after I
am dead" He was evidently keep
ing close watch upon the sands of
his life. He was seen to feel for his
pulse and then he asked what time it
was Being told that it was some
minutes after ten, he composed his
body at length, folded his hands over
his bosom, closed his eyes and fell
asleep never to awake.
The following Wednesday noon
was fixed as the time for the funeral.
Extensive preparations were made
for the solemn event. Military and
civic societies arranged to participate
in the obsequies. The sad day soon
came, but the hour was postponed
until 3o'clock, awaiting the arrival of
the military organization of Alex
andria. The coffin, which was made
i'll Alexandria, was of mahogany,
lined with lead. and covered within
and without with black velvet. On
the lid at the head was a plate on
which was Inscribed:
Surge ad Judicium.

Philip Haas,9ia deputy sheriff during
former Sheriff Ehapel's term, was arrest
ed yesterday on the charge of larceny,
He is accused of the theft of a 5000 GER
tiflcate Of deposit belonging to Michael
O'Connor, a stoekman living near Fari-
bault. The disappearance of the certifi-
cate was reported to the police Sept. 9,
when O'Connor was visiting in this city. :.
The arrest grew out Of a trap being
set by Chief Schweitzer for the person
having the certificate. When the GER
tifate disappeared O'Connor claimed that
it had been stolen from him at his room
at a hotel near Seven corners, together
with a sum Of money. The police could
learn nothing of the supposed robbery
and the matter3=Was dropped. O'Connor.

turned over to the local police. Detect
ives Werrick and Wells were detailed on
the case and visited the address given.
Here, it is alleged, Haas was met and
said his name was Frank Baker, and ad-
mitted having written the letter The
story told by the police is that Haas rep
resented that he knew who had the
check, and could secure its return to the
owner for consideration. An agreement
was made, It is said, for Haas to pro-
duce the check yesterday. When Haas
showed up, it is alleged he had the certtfi-
cate, and he was therefore arrested.
Haas admits having had the certificate,
and says frankly that he opened negotia-
lions to return it to the owner. He says,
however, that he found the certificate
on the bar of Wabasha street saloon.
He says he does not know OConnor nor
never saw him. He says he found the
certificate lying on the saloon bar, ap-
parently without an owner, in fact, at
first believed it was a worthless piece
of paper and simply. took possession OF
it. When he discovered that the certib-
cate was of value, Haas says he tried to
find the owner by sending the letter to
the Faribault bank, and adds that he
saw no wrong in desire to receive some
reward for his trouble. He says, how
ever, that he did not write the letter,
but that it was written by friend.
