When an allusion was made to the claim

was nothing about his conduct to indicate
that he was suffering from any mental dis

DIAZ'S END FAST APPROACHING.

Live but Short Time.
REp1rR1.Ic

FL Faso. Tex, March 12.-According to
Paso papers. both Spanish and american,
the end Of President Diaz Of Mexico Is
approaching, and in all parts Of the
political phases that will result are being
theoretically discussed.
General Diaz's long-continued illness and
his advanced age are in themselves deemed
sufficient evidence that he may pass away
at any time, but the active preparations for
a peaceful succession and the general dis
cussion of his probable successor are re-
ceived as convincing evidence that his PRES
ent condition Is regarded as dangerous,
despite the fact hat official and unof-
fetal. denials that he is in any danger OF
deathkare made almost daily.

superior learning is very insufficient.
Inc ordinary social intercourse is to

for his courage and the statesman is

be content with some memorial awav

for a story Of adventure, and P. agreed
to write it in chapters, supplying them
weekly till the tale had been told. This

came Presently the publisher became

ing extraordinary things, and never
getting anywhere. p. left them in the
most awful plights whenever he wrote
ITO be continued in our next" At
the sixtieth chapter he was no nearer
to a solution OF the plot than he had
been in the sixth. The publisher
wrote to P. begging him to close the
narrative as quickly as possible, but P.
replied with another batch, which end
ed, like the others. with the heroine
hanging over an abyss by the eye
brows and the villain holding her

a tree a mile away and chortling with
ghoulish glee. Every chapter ended
like that, SO that there simply had to
be another one to explain 1t, and get
the suffering people out OF trouble.
The publisher did not dare to inter

the end Of the story. P. was an in

going until the publishers hair turned

Organization at Santa 70 In Existence
| Since 1898.
A novelty in the way Of women's
clubs is the Wonan's Board Of Trade
at Santa Fe, N. M. 1t was first or
ganized in 1893 for tho purpose OF en-
abling its members to visit the worlds
fair at Chicago 1t took to itself the
name Board OF Trade" to denote its
practical objects. After the exposition
1t turned its attention to city improve
n,ent. Santa Fe, like all cities both
in old and New Mexico. has a plaza
in the center OF the town. The plaza
st-.Santa Fe is place OF great his
toric interest, many Of the salient
events of the history Of the territory
having occurred there. On one side it
is bounded by the governors palace.
a long abode building which has been
the seat Of authority ever since New
Mexico was a crown colony OF Spain.
With this interesting old building on
one side and the best shops and hotels
Of the city on the other three. the
plaza should have been an ornament
to the town. InStead Il was sunken
and irregular in surface, covered with
rank growth Of alfalfa and sur
rounded by an old wooden fence The
Woman's Board Of Trade took vigor-
GUS possession Of the plaza. They
transformed the surface into a fine
level lawn, replaced the old fence
with an elegant stone coping and
erected a handsome drinking fountain.
This was not only an achievement in
itself. but gave an impetus to like
improvements throughout the city.
The board has also established free
library and reading room. which now.
contains several thousand good vol
umes. 1t has visiting and relief
committee. which looks after strang-'
ers and gives them welcome. boon
IN a city to which SO many sick and
unfortunate victims OF tuberculosis
bend their steps. Il also has a com
mittee on prevention OF cruelty to ami
mails. The board is recognized by tax
payers and city government as an &C
tive factor in successful municipal
government. Notwithstanding its
splendid achievements 1t has no COM
mand of public funds, but such is it's
standing in the community that it has
never had any trouble in raising SUI
lcient money for its work.
