Mexico is cheap and a dear country.
What is produced here is cheap; what is
imported is high, and a great deal is
imported. The French control the dry
goods trade; the Germans the hardware
the Ameicans many things. OF all for
eigners, the Americans are dominant
Their superiority in Judgment comes out
in many ways. Take the matter of To-
cation. Apparently a Mexican Is indif-
ferent in regard to this. But you will
find an American getting the best store

business street in Mexico City is about

Every glance IN Mexico reveals some
thing new. When you first look into a
shop long rows of different sized white
things hanging from the ceiling. appear
TO be decorations. Later you learn with
surprise that they are candles, used for
religious purposes. I dropped into a big
church the other day, and found it
smothered in white banners. Below
kneeiing on the floor were thousand
people each holding one of these long,
slim candles

In the matter OF cotn-values and things

thing every day. A man in a room next
ours called the bell voy and yelled what
he wanted half a dozen times. The boy
couldn't understand. So the man took
a glass of water, lit a match and put it
under the glass. The boy Immediately

Insane Tailor Used Razor on His

Newport, Ky.-One of the most
frightful suicides In the history of
this city was that of Andrew Fausz,
tailor. In the presence of his wife
he cut his throat with razer, after a
terrific struggle with her, in which
her own life was imperlled. A milk
man, J. Proeller, who came to the res
cue came near losing his own life in
his combat with the frenzied man
whose deed Is believed to have been
prompted by insanity, due to an ac-
cumulation of troubles. His daught-
or and her husband had been remov-
ed to the pesthouse on account Of
smallpox and Fausz had been quaran-
tined. This prevented him from get
ting work and made him respondent
and also very bitter against the health
department, and he threatened to
end 1t ALL" Fausz nearly severed
bis head from his body. Coroner
Higgins said that in all his practice
he never saw a more ghastly sight.
