 strevido" has just been lodged in Belem, after a bold but unsuccessful attempt to make haul. The affair occurred in the National bank. the
 victim being an aged man who had just received Sl. 100 on check. As he started to leave the bank with the money in his hand, well dressed maniwaIked up, and lifted his hand as though to salute him What he did was to throw sand in the old gen tleman's eyes, and grab the money. The. victim gave sharp cryand called loudly for help, some of the clerks at once dartiDg in pursuit. The ratero ran through Capuchinas street, where he was stopped by a gendarme.

 Mexican Herald: Reports were rife on Saturday night that two cavalry off1cers,had fought with sabers oD the plainssof San Lazaro, and that one was seriously wounded. Later develop ments indicate that the socalled fight was begun In sport. The version popularlyiaccepted is that It Manuel Jaso aud Ut.

They accordingly went at it without more ado, the result being that Lt. Jaso fell, wounded in the head by his opponents saber.

 Mexican Herald: A curious group of pilgrims has just arrived at the shrine Of Guadalupe, having tramped from distant pueblo called San Mi guel. The members of the party, by way of penance, have carried between them, to the shrine of the Virgen, an enormous stone carving, representing San Miguel trampling huge serpent all being carved from one block of stone. The history of the carving Is | unique. Years ago, so tradition has 1t, an Indian of the pueblo, on being converted to Christianity, took the stone idol, representing huge coiled serpent, which he had hitherto wor- shiped and fashioned the uper part of the carving into figure of San Mi guel, who was thus represented as treading on the serpent's head. The carving mysteriously disappeared, and for years was not heard of until re- gently, while.excavatingin the church for the purpose of repairing the base of the altar, he image was found, buried beneath the altar where it was perhaps inferred by some pious priest, who considered it unfit for Christian worship. The pilgrims will carry it with them when they return. and it's former cult will be renewed.

English CIub Withdraws Offer to the
American PugiIist.

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-It is not at all
probable that Terry McGovern will be
seen in England next spring in battle
for the English championship. About a
month ago the New Adelphi Club. of Lon
don, offered purse of 5000. with 81 500
for expenses, for Terry to go across the
Atlantic and meet either Ben Jordan or
Jack Roberts in twenty-round contest.
The club was ready to pun of the affair
next month, but McGovern sent word that
while he accepted the purse he could not
make the trip and fight until next/April
The club has now withdrawn its liberal
offer. Mr.. Isaac Abrahams, in a letter
from England, writes;
Il offered a purse of 5000 for McGovern
and Jordan TO box here but as we could
get no satisfactory reply from McGovern,
1 withdraw my offer Of the purse The
proprietors Of the Sporting Life con-
tinually cabled to him, but could not get
any reply. My latest offer for an Ameri-
can pugilist to go to England and box be-
fore the Adeiphi Club is as follows:
Il VIII give a purse OF 81 0G0 for Tim

GEORGE R. BIDwELL IN TOWN.
Mysterious Visit of the Displaced
Collector of New York.

George r. Bidwell. collector Of the port
of New York. whom President Roosevelt
has decided to replace with State Sena-
tor Nevada n. Stranahan. Of New York,
arrived in Washington last night. He
came over from Gotham on the Congress
sional Limited. and registered at the
Shoreham. A few minutes later, Mr. Bid
well left the hotel. and did not return un-
til a late hour.
It is possible that Mr.. Bidwell will see
President Roosevelt today. The President
desires to gain intimate knowledge of the
afTairs Of the collector of the port of
New York, the conduct Of which by Mr..
Bidwell has aroused great dissatisfaction
among a number of large importers. His
visit to Washington at this time, how
ever, may not be for the purpose of see
ing the President. Mr.. Bidweil often
visits the Capital.
II appears practically certain now that

are at work against him. Senator Plat

removal of Wakeman, but it was thought
that he would have consented to Wake

retained Now that Stranahan, who was
essentially the choice OF Governor Odell.

ONCE ACTOR, NOW CLERGYMAN.
Mr.. Bucller Conducts Services at the
Grand Opera House.

Less than two years ago. George Buck
Ter, actor, appeared at a local theatre,
and a large audience appIauded the dra-
matte ability which he displayed. He
was a tragedian, an Interpreter of
Shakespearean characters, and there
were few who surpassed him in this
branch of histrionic art.
Last night he appeared on the stage of
the Grand Opera House. not as a thes-
plan, but as theologian. He conducted
one of the largest evangelical meetings
ever held in Washington. 1t was second
only to those which the late Mr. Moody
directed here several years ago. His OBJ
ject last night was not to entertain peo-
pie, but TO instruct.
Assisting him was his accomplished
wife, who, two seasons ago, played one
of the principal roles in Two Orphans"

VIRGINIA AT CHARLESTON.
Effort TO Interest Old Dominion in
the ExpOsitfou.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 11.-G. II. Au-
brey, general representative of the West
Indies Exposition. has opened headquar-
tiers here for the purpose of soliciting the
interest of Virginia in the approaching
Charleston fair. He said this evening
that he had met with much greater sue
cess than he had expected, and that the
Old Dominion would be handsomely rep
resented at the exposition.
Speaking of the exposition, he said:
1T will be a great affair. The most re-
cent acquisition to the buildings is one
from Cincinnati. That city will have u
fine house on the grounds, and has made
arrangements to spend good deal of
money in entertaining business men, with
a view TO the development of its indus
tries. Alaska is to build house, too.
I'VE shall be ready to open on the date
set for throwing open the doors of the
exposition, and while everything will not
be completed at that time, the exhibits
will be installed, and at least we shall
not prove an exception to the rule that
no exposition was ever exploited that was
ready for the opening day, in every par
ticular. An immense amount of material
is being moved from Buffalo. and that
takes time, as the interval between their
closing and our opening is not very great,
considering the vast amount OF STUN to
be transferred to Charleston
Il am here to try and help Richmond
to have a big representation at Charles

have exhibits from Cuba and from Porto

places"

Streets southeast, was filed to its capac-
ity last evening when the Rt. Rev. F. r.
Graves. Bishop of Shanghai, China, and
Rev. r. P. Williams, Archdeacon of
Washington, delivered addresses. Bishop
Graves spoke with earnestness of the
great need for more workers in China.
What we want more and more are
workers in China, said the Bishop. THE
Chinese can be converted. but it means d
great deal of work. Heathenism has
great power over them. They have been
brought up to lie, to steal, to be distrust-
ful. and not to be relied upon.
THE courts of China are institutions
for the torture of the native. Christianity
has worked wonders in China but it has
room to work many more than 1t has.
Last year we did much work. This year
we will do more"
DR.. Williams address was upon the
need of missionaries at home.
Bishop Graves landed in America last
July. and has been travelling over the
country since. He arrived in this city
yesterday morning. After visiting the

Lepers. Lives in Persia.

Miss f. J. Easton, who has been doing
missionary work in Persia, spoke last
night at Trinity Church of her visit to
leper colony. She gave vivid account of
how lepers live. and how they are ap-
preached by visitors. Lepers in Persia,
she said, were not nearly so well cared
for as the lerers of India. In India they
have hospitals erected for them by the
English. In Persia they are merely iso-
lated from the rest of the world and left
to live the remainder of their existence
the best way they can.

DAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the scat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other Poisons IN
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
