For loves sweet sake Senorita Maria
Gonzales, a beautiful descendant of
the house of the Montezumas, aided
by her sister, broke open the dungeon
at Jimulco, Mexico, the other night
and liberated Frank A. Howard, an
American conductor on the Mexican
Central railway.
Five days before Howard was ar
rested by the Mexican authorities be-
cause a jerk Of his train had slight
~ injured one of the brakemen, a na-

while his friends were seeking to Sc
cure his trial by the slow and uncer-
tain methods of the Mexican courts
his pretty sweetheart was maturing
a plan Of her own for his release. AS
sisted by roundhouse employee, she
forced the door to Towards cell with
a crowbar, and the American was lib
Grated. He was told to board a train
which was waiting for him a block
away, and arrived at Ell Paso, Tex, in
safety. He says that the average
American prefers liberty at any risk
to risking his fate to Mexican laws.

FACULTY's BAN ON WEDLOCK,
Divinity Students Holding Scholar
ships Mt Chicago University Lose
Them If They Marry.

Divinity students at the University
of Chicago must no longer allow their
fancies to Tightly turn to thoughts of
love- whether in the spring or at any
other time of the year, if they would
retain their scholarships. A rule re-
Gently passed by the faculty of the di-
vinity school puts matrimony under
the ban. It is as follows:
''In the assignment of scholarships
netting more than S3a a quarter the re-
cipient will be informed that the schol-
arship will be withdrawn in case of his
marriage while holding it,"
The divinity students are indignant
at this action, arguing that if they need
scholarships when they are single they
need them so much the more when their
expenses are increased by matrimony.
They regard the rule as an unjust at
tempt to deprive them of the right of
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The other day they stood about the dor
mitories and halls discussing the stu
alton with clouded brows and doleful
voices.
The faculty members, on the other
hand, contend that student who can
afford marriage has no further claim
on the university for support and ought
to yield his stipend to some one more
in need.

TO HAVE MAYFLOWER.
Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, to Have
Finest Official Yacht in
the World.

Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, will have
the finest official yacht in the world
when the government finishes "re-
pairs on the Mayhower. When the
war with Spain broke out this splen-
did vessel of $500 tons burden was
purchased from Ogden Goelet for
$430,000 and converted into a cruiser
of the third rate. She was attached
to the North Atlantic feet, under COM
mand of Commander Morris R. Mac
kenzie.
For the last year she has been lying
idle in the Brooklyn navy yard, but
is now ready to go to Porto Rico ito
enter the service of Gov. Allen. Her
reftting will cost $4,000.
George L. Watson designed her and
the Messrs. Thompson built her, and
when she was completed Mr.. Goelet
had the finest yacht ever launched in
England. She was literally floating
palace, being provided with every lux
ury that money could buy and inge-
nuity devise. .>...-, ..

GERMANY'S COMMERCE,
Her Trade with the World in An
Commodities Amounted to -
$2,1S6,744.OOO. s=s.. 81

Germany's commerce with the world
in all commodities, except the precious
metals, amounted last year to So, 1885,
$4,000, according to a report to the
state department, from Acting Consul
j. F. Monaghan, at Chemnitz. Her i'm
ports the same year amounted to ST.
2S6,ss6,Ooo; exports, $949, 1853, 600. The
most pronounced decrease in imports
in the last few years has been in wheat
and rye, on account Of the gain in home
production The Importation Of In
dian corn (maize) has shown decided
increase, advancing from $2O,23O, 1000
worth in 1897 to $31 1854, 900 last year.
The figures show German trade as gem
orally increasing annually. Some lines
of trade, however, have suffered a set
back, sugar exports having fallen from
554,502, 600 in 1897 to $45, 695, 900 in 1899.
This decrease Is said to be due to the
eesened demand from the United

ARSENIC IN GERMAN FABRICS.
Made Evident by Contention Between
Germany and Swedish Gov
eminent,

Arsenic is being used in German
fabrics, according to report from Con-
sui Hughes at Coburg. He says con-
tention has arisen between German
exporters and the Swedish govern
ment, the latter claiming there are
traces of arsenic in textile material eS-
ported from Germany, such as carpets,
wall papers, furniture covers and toys.
The German manufacturers claim this
is not SO. In one way, says Mr.. Hughes,
this will be strictly chemical Fl light, as
the Swedish officials will say that their
examinations were properly made, and
the Germans will insist that if arsenic
was found it was due to the use by the
Swedish chemists Of impure chemicals
in making the tests. {.

PORTO RICO REPTILES.
Collection Made by DR.. Stepneger to
- Become Part of National i
Museum.

DR.. Stepneger, curator of the depart
ment of reptiles of the National mu-
scum, has just returned from Porto
Rico, where he was sent by the gov.
eminent to make representative col
lection of animal life. He found the
island poor in this respect, much more
so than was anticipated, but he sue
ceeded in making pretty good collec-
ton, which is now in transit to this.
country. Nothing so pleased him as
his collection of frogs, which he had
packed and brought with him. Among
them are the smallest of amphibian life.
Some specimens under his glass were
scarcely as large as our domestic mos
quitoes and yet had attained full
growth. While the variety is much
greater than in this country, the small
Porto Ricans are strangers to the
pleasure of bullfrog sharing, for they
have none there.
DR.. Stepneger expects the Philip
pines, when sufficiently quoted for
scientific research in the interior coun-
tries, will yield up much that is rare
in the larger animal life-the native
buffalo, used for all kinds of work; the
wild boar, and a variety of deer, while
among the birds there are several hum
dred peculiar to the Philippines from
which to enrich the museum. So far
little has been received, and only such
things as fell directly in the soldiers
way. Ample room awaits the collec-
ton from Porto Rico, and from the
great number of calls by sightseers
for anything from the newly-acquired
islands that department will receive
much attention.

TO WARN MARINERS.
The Approach Of Storms to Be.
Signaled Them.
New and Improved Signal Tower
with Powerful Light Devised for
Use of the Weather Blu.
reau Department..

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
just started an important improvement
in the weather bureau of great interest
to commerce. Realizing the great vail
ue of the storm warnings of the wealth
er bureau in the saving Of life and
property, the secretary. directed that
careful experiments be made with the
view of adopting an improved method
of issuing warning signals from marine
ports. II
With the cooperation of several inn
portant manufacturing establishments
a new iron storm warning tower has
been constructed and adopted by the
secretary. This tower, being con-
structed in sections, can be extended
to a greater or less height in accord
ance with the visual conditions of diff
ferent ports Near the top a of the.
tower two powerful lens lamps are
located, and above the lamps is the
flagstaff from which day signals are to
be displayed. The old inferior marine
lantern, which consumes oil and which
has been displayed only from wooden
staffs, will be discarded by order of
the secretary, and the display of dan
ger warnings more efficiently made by
the introduction of the new iron tow
ers.
Congress, in accordance with the rec
concentrations of the secretary, made
an appropriation sufficient to equip
one-half of the 300 display stations Of
the bureau during the coming year.
Secretary Wilson has directed the chief
of the weather bureau to distribute
these new towers are equally as posi-
BILE between the lake and seaports, as
only one-half of the service can be
equipped during the coming year. -

nurse. He could not turn about to see
the other patients. but he learned all their
names and as soon as he heard them NOV

each other that the good God would surely
let the mother come to meet the pretty
child when it was time for him TO go. And
the doctors brought him wonderful pres

the matron that the boy could not last

great love for the child. The child
would look at his huge friend in surprise

And John would bite his lips at once

The Wicked
Chicken.
BY ERNEST JARROLD.
(Author of the "Micky Finn" Stories.)

Copyright, 1859, by Ernest Jarrold)
The most recent addition to Mickey
Firms museum of natural history proved
to be a pouter pigeon of the gentler sex.
He regarded the bird with peculiar solicit
tude, chiefly because 1t was his latest ac-
QUESTION. But the coming of the pigeon
created a fierce jealousy in the heart Of
the goat which no cajolery served to soft
en- and time failed to appease. The fierce
old berserker brooked on divided affection
on the part of those he loved.
Mickey procured the pigeon from Jack
Doolan in exchange for the stopple of a
vinegar cruet a glass agate and a NAM
moth dodo. He made a coop for the pigeon
in the back yard, and attended to its
wants with assiduous care. The pigeon
grew plump and round on the scraps
which Mickey Durloined from his moth
er's humble store and became so tame
that it would perch upon the boys Shout
der, eat from his hand, and coo its con-
tent into his delighted ear. The tame crow
and the yellow gosling regarded these ev-
licences of distinction with decided disfa-
vor, the crow especially revealing his an
ger through the vigorous use of his bony
beak upon the tender body of his rival.
But Jean Ingelow's famous mourner was

scion of the lordly henhouse of leghorn
would salute him with querulous peep
ings as he came home from school with
winged feet some bright afternoon. And
as the day drew near for che expected
momentous event to occur, Mickey lifted
the egg with tender care and placed it
to his ear. He was waiting to hear the
chicken breathe as he explained to his
mother later. And Mrs. Finn, out of that
fine appreciation of pseon-pot-pie, which
only those fed habitually on corned beef
and cabbage can feel, soothed her boy with
gentle words and caresses, and told him
that the mysteries of nature were beyond
the penetration OF the wlsest of men,
adding with nod of profound conviction:
mo. Mickey, me boy, not even President
Mckinley could tell will your chicken be
a hin or a rooster by lookin' at the egg
Nor could he tell anything about the
egg by lookin' at the chicken, so there
you are. as the goose said whin she swal-
lowed the red-hot horseshoe nail But
you can RESI- aisy twill not be a pigeon
So run along and play leapefrog wild the
goat and don't be bally-raggin' me. God
holp us. we are all por crayturs and moth
in comm in but the nanny's milk"
But one afternoon late in June when
the bumblebees were stealing honey and
the butterflies spread their golden Cos
samer wings like argosies sailing over
suniit seas, the mystery was revealed
An infant chicken broke IDS calcareous
environment and stepped out into the
sunlight with a piece of she'll clinging
to it's back. 1t was an unusually vigor-
Gus bird, with strong beak and pair
of keen, inquisitive eyes. The pigeon
was alarmed al the proportions of her
offspring and also at its impudence and
self-reliance. Unlike the usual pigeon
baby, il refused to remain in the nest,
but jumping out started like Ulysses in

chicken stood upon MIckeys nalm with
calm confidence which was Surprising in
one so young and tender. as he extended
IL toward his mother while his face glow
ed with pride and satisfaction. But IN
proportion as the boy was pleased with
the chicken the pigeon was puzzled Her
instinct taught her there was something
wrong with her child. The infant was
so wild and headsirong that Il dd not

search of adventure The pigeon fol-
lowed the chicken with motherly love,
lowering over it, but the feathered
knight Grant was oblivious to her care
and started in to hustle, and scratch for
himself.
There was no happier boy in che world
than Mickey when he saw the chicken
running around the~yard, while the pig
con sat on the fence and watched its err
ratio course with tender solicitude. So
lively was the youngster that 1t requir-
ed ten minutes of hard work on the part
of Mickey to throw his cap over IL and
take the chicken into the shanty for clos
er inspection The pigeon flew in at the
door and perched upon the mantel The
