The Men of Mexico.

'sIt is curious" writes City of Mex
leo correspondent of the Boston Her
aid, "what contrasts there are among
the young men of the land. Out on the
haciendas and ranches you find sturdy
young fellows much on horseback and
expert with the rope and as skillful in
riding as the Cossacks of the Don.
These young men are the hope Of Mex
leo. Often tall, broad shouldered and
vigorous, they will be the fathers OF
healthy children and keep the Mexican
nation alive. From men Of this sort
the cities are recruited, and their de-
scendants will be the ruling men of
the country. They, too, are romantic,
but with a difference. They are too
healthy to become aesthetic, and yet
the women who marry them will be
happier than as the mates Of the poets
whose fine fancies thrill the feminine
heart"

Anecdotes of Henry Russell.
The Jewish Chronicle of London says
that the late Henry Russell, the song
writer, was Of Hebrew birth and had
many close friends among his coreli-
gionists, including Sir Moses Monte
fore, the Rev. A. l.. Green and the
Levy family. When Mr.. Russell was
accustomed to say to Sir Moses that
he was getting on in years, Sir Moses,
who was greatly his senior. would re-
ply, "My dear old boy, you are only a
baby"
At the house Of Mr.. Green. where he
was a frequent visitor, he would tell
some of his amusing experiences. one
of them having reference to the time
when he was in wild part of America
and often carried his life In his hands.
One day. when he was supposed to be
asleep. a man bent over him. Mr.. Rus.

THE EXPERTS THEORY.
1t Was Too Inclusive and Weakened
Him az a Witness.

Him as a Witness.
One of the older members of the Bal
timore bar tells this anecdote of the
late Severn Teackle Wallis as illustrat-
ing the cleverness and sarcasm of Mr..
Wallis:
Mr.. Wallis was defending the will of
a wealthy testator, and, as the lawyers
say, when the estate is large lawyer
twill wrestle with will with a will"
A prominent physician was called to
testify for those contesting the will.
The doctor became restless under the
lengthy and exhaustive cross examina-
tion of Mr.. Wallis, and finally he petu-
lantly exclaimed:
"Oh, Mr.. Wallis, l believe the tesla
tor was insane!'
Mr.. Wallis kept his temper and said
quietly: doctor, you are the first per-
son who has ever intimated in or out
of court that the testator was insane.
Why do you say he was insane?"

every man Is more or less insane on
some one subject"
"Is it your deliberate professional
pressed here in court under oath, that
every man is more or less insane on
some subject?"

here under oath that from my reading,
knowledge and experience l believe
that every man is more or less insane
on some one subject"
Then Mr.. Wallis said in that fine
tone of sarcasm for which he was not
ed, doctor, has it ever occurred to you
that you are insane on the subject Of
insanity?'
Immediately the doctor fired up and
exclaimed, But. Mr.. Wallis, am not

Mr. Wallis arose and said: Doctor,
according to your own sworn theory,
you must be insane on some subject.

insanity"
Court. jury and spectators laughed
aloud. and nothing more was said about
the testator being insane.-Baltimore

The BRIDES GOWN
Beautifully Decorated by
Skilled Dutch Art Work
ers and Made i'm
Paris.

| H. HAGUE, Feb. 1.-THE weather
is intensely cold but fine on this, the
girl queens wedding day.
Windows, stands, and housetops were
crowded with people to witness the
procession to the church and back.
The queen and groom were given
one continuous ovation. The festivi-
ties are the greatest in the history of
Holland.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for the long expected event.
The scene of the wedding ceremony,
the stately iand historic Royal Cathe-
dral could scarcely hold all the royal
ties and dignitaries assembled to wit
ness the event.
Hollands youthful queen is one of
the richest sovereigns in all Europe
and it is said she has settled on her
husband the sum of IS ,OOO, 900, the in
come of which is to be at his entire
disposal. The groom is the youngest
son of Frederick Francis ii, grand duke
in 1888.
The wedding gown was a thing of
beauty and splendor as BELTS a queen.
Woven in Lyons and cut in Paris, it
was brought home to De embroidered
in the Art Schools of Amsterdam. and
then returned to Paris to be made.
The front of the gown is made of
lace flowers. The train and bodice are
of silver brocade embroidered richly in
silver threads and spanglcs. The pat
tern represents oranges and orange
flowers.
The wedding gifts received cannot
be enumerated here but one deserves
special mention. 1t is a wonderful
silver thimLle designed and manufac-
tured in Paris, the gift of Dom Paul
Kruger.

This is the consolidation of the Rock

Special Dispatch to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. President Warren
G. Purdy of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railway stated to your cor
respondent this afternoon that his road
had not taken over the control of the
Mexican Central road.
However, his answers were couChs1
in such language as to leave the i'm
preston either that deal is pending
but not yet closed, or that the Rock
Island has got as much control as
it wants, without making formal
combination at this time
While other officers of the company
refused to talk for publication, it is
the general understanding in railroad
and financial circles that the two
roads have reached such an under
standing" as will enable them to work
in perfect harmony for the control of
the Mexican trade.

STATE RESTS CASE
And This Afternoon the De.
fense Had First Oppor-
tunity to Prove Ue-
fendant Innocent

But little progress was made in the
trial of the Red Seeley case this morn
that most of the time was consumed
by talk.
| The case is attracting no unusual
degree of interest, the attendance con-
sisting mainly of COW men from down
the country in the neighborhood where
the tragedy occurred. Most of these
were brought in as witnesses and are
of course excluded from the court
room, leaving but few persons with
sufficient interest in the case to attend
the trial.
The crowd in the room this morning
consisted chiefly of lawyers and Off
GERS of the law and as a matter of
fact the proceedings were not of the
nature to attract a crowd of persons
not directly interested in the case.
The jury looked worn and the faces
of some of the members appeared
gaunt with an overgrowth of beard.
Their first night in the jury room
seemed to have told on some of them.
They are likely to be held at least to
the end of the week.
The names of the jurors who are to
determine the guilt or innocence of the
accused follow:

Proceedings This Morning
The cross examination of Tom Hall
by Judge Edwards for the defense was
resumed this morning when court OPP
ened. The witness is the brother of
deceased. He is a large man of pow
erful build.
Witness said his brother might have
ed to kill him if he swore any lies On
him.
He was not positive as to this how
ever and finally wound up by saying
that his brother had not threatened
Seeley. He described the position oc-
cupied by his brother when he was
shot. The bullet from Seeley's weapon
entered his brothers right breast just
above the nipple.
(Re-direct by Chas. Patterson). Wit
ness said he went to his brothers camp
on business, intending to move their
40 years of age last July and a man of
family. Collected by defense, but ad-
mitted after counsel for the state had
explained that they wanted to show
that Seeley frequently called on the
family and was in the habit of calling
at the house)
''Seeley came at various times in
July and August. said the witness. ''to
call on some young ladies who were
visiting there"
(Re-cross) "How many shots did
Seeley fire."
''Three or four. Seeley ran after
Herring and shot at him.
Robert Rayner was called next by
the prosecution Witness knew Hall
and Seeley.
''I will ask you" said Mr. Patterson.
IF you heard any conversation be-
tween Jake Coleman and Stetson?''
q did
Collected and withdrawn
Did you have any conversation with
Seeley?"
Yes, sir; l asked Mr.. Seeley about
the trouble between him and Hall. He
said the difficulty had about been set
tied, but if Hall did not pay him next
time they met he would know the rea-
son why. He stood up and pulled up
his vest, showing me his six shooter
and cartridges
(Objected) and the jury was taken
out while counsel showed why they
