the financial depression he has felt that
there should be change in the policy he
originally announced as to internal i'm

question there was not entire harmony of
view among his colleagues Of the cabinet.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

For a family orchard many varieties
may be planted and few trees of a va
riety, so as to have fruit every season
and the whole season.
Slight elevations are a safer place for
the grape than bottom lands, as thu
vines and fruit are not SO apt to be in
jured by early or late frosts.
The deficiency Of potash in the soil
Of peach orchards is shown in the spin
ding growth of limbs and twigs- Pot
ash makes firm. stocky peach wood.
In almost all orchards. especially II
old, there will be found some trees that
are only .cumberers of the ground.
Grub them out and put something OF
value in their places.
1t is the freezing and thawing in the
months after January that hurts the
strawberry beds; hence they should be
well mulched as soon as the ground
freezes sufficiently hard.
The cause of moss appearing ON the
stems Of apple and other fruit trees is
wet, cold. undrained land or an excess
lively humid climate. Good drainage
is one remedy.-St. Louis Republic.

1.-The outside world knows less of the
west coast of Mexico than any other
part of the world" said Jack Thomas
of Sonora at the Zeiger. THAT is
really the richest part of Mexico and
the wealthieSt mining country in the
world but the rest of the world has
not found it out vet. They are minus
laws in that section, however, except
the one man law enforced by the gov
errors. The governor is the whole
thing in these states and when they
issue an order there is no way of get
ting around it. While there is no law
to appeal to Americans and British
subjects seldom get into serious trou-
BILE. There are a few English speak
ing people there and some amusing
things occur, especially when England
or the United States are on the verge
of war I was in Sinaloa when the
United States declared war against
Spain. Of course the Mexicans sympa-
thized with their mother country and
often offered insults to Americans.
remember one case that will not soon
forget Sevral Mexicans. probably so
in number, hoiSted an American flag
one day and announced that they were
going to haul it down and riddle it
with their knives. An OLD eX-cOnfed-
crate soldier from Texas CHANGED to
be there and seeing what the Mexicans
were about to do. ran up and inter
fered. In his broken Spanish he said:
L fought that flag with thousands of
others for five years and we could not
haul it down. and I'll be damned if l
see YOU fellows do it He meant every
word of it and threw the MeXicans in
every direction. They saw that trou-
BILE was brewing and every one fed
and allowed the flag to remain up all
day. But, back to the laws of the
country, if Americans had charge of
that country it would be the richest
part of the western hemisphere"
chihuahua is not only going to

one of the best cities in the country.
He is building the hotel now and it

A CENTURY OF AMERICAN POETS

By Oscar Lowell Triggs in the Forum.
A most striking fact is the longev-
ity of poets. The typical American
poet-when ore thinks of it and no

aged, hoary man. OF the eight poets
pictured on the frontispiece, six are

and Francis Brooks at 81 had hardly
begun their true poetic areer. Prob

There is something stately and

The historian notes also the compar-

Man Riding in a Vehicle Was Knocked

An exciting and disastrous runaway
occurred in the heart of town this
morning endangering the lives of many

street at a breakneck speed and spun
around the corner at Ell Paso in way
that made the brain whirl.
All along the street persons and We
hicles barely escaped being run over
but there was no damage until a point
south of the opera house was reached.
Just there Sam Silverman was driving
along unconscious of the proximity of
danger. The first he knew of it his
vehicle was wreck and he was flying
through the air.
Strange to say he did not appear
to be seriously injured, but was badly
shaken up.
The police appeared and were about
to arrest the owner of the runaway
team, Porchay, from down the valley,
but he explained that he did not leave
his horses unhitched. He said there
was a man in the vehicle when the
animals started to run, but he jumped
out. Porchay's vehicle was badly dam
aged.

SUICIDE
\ BOOKKEEPER TAKES HIS OWN
LIFE BY SHOOTING WITH
A TARGET RIFLE.
1t is Said that Dependency Over FL

Dependency due to the loss of his

chief reason why E. w. Anderson took
his own life at his residence. 303 Ma
coffin avenue at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday
Anderson was AZ years of age. He
came to this city nearly year ago
from Arizona and had recently been in
the employ of the Candelaria Mining
company of Juarez. Some months ago
he invested his savings, about $500 in
the Senate saloon, supposing that he
was purchasing a half interest. The
owners of the saloon, it is said, took
possession and Anderson lost the mon
ey he had invested.
For several days past he had been
drinking heavily, but arose yesterday
morning and said he was going to
work Instead of going however, he
remained at home during the day and
appeared to be in a melancholy frame
of mind.
A few minutes after o'clock he went
into the bath room. No one had sus-
picion that anything was wrong until
a muffled report was heard. The next
moment Anderson staggered into the
sitting room with the blood streaming
from a jagged hole in his temple. He
fell backward without speaking word.
Naturally the members of the family
were Mortified and overcome by the
spectacle. They laid the wounded man
on his bed and hastily summoned Drs.
Bush, Irwin and Thompson, but the
physicians were unable to stay the
hand of death and after an examina-
ton pronounced the wound fatal.
A half hour later Anderson was a
corpse.
The ball from the % caliber rife had
entered the head just above the left
ear and after blowing it's way through |
the brain had lodged under the right |
eye. Such wound could not be other
wise than fatal.
The body of the dead man was con-
