PRESIDENT DiAZ'S GUARDS.
Close Watch Kept over the Chief
Magistrate Of Mexico.

DR.. Frank ]. Toussaint has re-
turned from a six months exploring
trip through the mining and agricul-
tifral districts of Northwestern Mexico.
DIR. Toussaint travelled on horseback
with his own caravan of pack mules
and poems, and his knowledge of the
foothills and arroyos Of the states
of Chihuahua and Sonora, as well as
the remote plantations far from the
railroads and beaten tracks of the
modern tourist, is very exact. He al
so made a visit to the City of Mexico
and conferred with President Diaz
in relation to mineral rights on a gov
ernment grant In Yaqui Valley. "The
shooting of President Mckinley" said
DR.. Toussaint, would not have been
possible in Mexico, a country where
attempted assassination is one of the
expected incidents of government
President Diaz never takes a walk on
the street or in any public place with.
out secret service men watching over
him. Nobody with his hand wrapped
up or with hand in his pocket could
approach him without being stopped
One morning a lame man, carrying a
heavy cane, was passing him on the
street. detective brushed against
the man as If by accident and knocked
the cane out of his hand. lie picked
it up and returned it to the man with
profuse apologies. but while he had
the cane in his hands he gave the head
a turn and a pull to satisfy himself
that 1t was not a sword cane. An
other time an old woman carrying a
basket on her arm was stopped be-
cause her hand was concealed in the
basket. the detective lifted her hand
out of the basket and. seeing that 1t
held no weapon, apologized for the lib
erty. Attempts on the life of Diaz
have been made, and no precaution
has been spared to prevent repeti-
tion of them. II man clasps his
hands behind him while he is talking
with a public man a detective will
suggest that he allow his hands to

Double Breasted Coat.

Severely plain, double breasted coats
are much worn by young girls, and
have the merit of being eminently SER
viceable as well as stylish. The May
Manton model shown combines the
box front with the half-fitted back and
regulation coat collar and is. by far
the smartest design of the sort that
the season has produced. The original
Is made of tan colored kersey cloth
with smoked pearl buttons; but chev-
lot and plain cloth are equally appro-
Drlate and blue, brown. black and Ok
ford are all correct colors.
The fronts of the coat are loose, but
are curved at the under-arm seams
TO follow the outline of the figure. At
each side a pocket is inserted, the
opening being finished with stitched
overlap. The back includes a curved
centre seam and under-arm cores
that render 1t shapely and give smart
effect. The neck is finished with a
collar, faced with velvet, that rolls
over with the fronts to form lapels.
The sleeves are In regulation coat
style stitched to simulate cuffs.

Facts About Density Of Population In
Various Countries.

Henry Gannctt. in the American
Geographical Socicty's Bulletin, dis
cusses recent censuses of population
The United States has 26 inhabitants
to the square mile. while France has
1889. Germany 2G0. England and Wales
557. and Belgium $50. There Is little
relation between the density of pop
ulatlon and the rate of increase.
"The rate of increase in the United
States" says Mr.. Ginnett. although
rapidly diminishing, is still so per cent
greater than that OF any other ma.
tion here represented. OF the Euro
pean nations, Germany shows the most
rapid rate of increase in spite of the
large emigration. Spain has prac-
tically come to n standstlll, its recent
census. taken in 1900. showing few
thousand less inhabitants than that
taken three years earlier. The recent
famines In India are doubtless respon.
sible for the small increase In that
country. Proportion of urban popu-
lation differs widely in different coun-
tries. Measuring II by the population
included In cities of 100000 or more
inhabitants, II is seen that this ele-
ment, which In the United States com
prlses 10 per cent OF the total popu-
lation includes in England and Wales
not less than "a per cent, while in Bel
glum II is Is per cent, in Germany 16,
in France 10, in Spain 0 and in Japan
per cent. II, on the other hand. all
bodies of urban population be includ-
ed, which is a much better test to
apply, the situation is different Meas
ured in this way, the urban popula-
tlon of the United States forms 40 per
cent of the total number of inhabl-
tants; while that of England and
Wales forms not less than ~ per cent.
In Germany and the Netherlands just
onehalf of the population is includ-
ed in such urban bodies; in France.
Switzerland and Belgium two-fifths, in
Denmark 80 per cent, in Norway 2S per
cent, in Sweden Il per cent and in Rus
sia IL per cent.

Jamaica for Tourists.

A correspondent writes that Jamaica
is again being advocated as a winter
health resort for the tourist. 1t pre-
sents a variety of advantages in the
way Of warm temperature and beauti
full scenery, and, more tnan that. 1t is
comparatively inexpensive. There is
also the charm of novelty, as the isl

scope of the tourist. Its condition
has, Of course, been vastly improved
since the days of Governor Eyre, when
it was not particularly safe for Euro
peans. Now that fine roads have been
made in the interior Jamaica offers a
fine refuge for the valetudinarian,
alike for seaside and inland enjoyment.

fast or dinner the children or the
guests of household shake hands
with the mother or the hostess when
they enter the room, wishing her good
morning and also before they leave
1t, thanking her for the food they have
eaten. At formal dinner parties the
same ceremony takes place. The
guests shake hands with the host and

but is of very inferior quality COM
pared with the grade that was sold at

The standard price at present is 35

SHOULDN'T LEAVE OUT HELL.
Savannah Ministers VIII Preach
He'll as Well as Heaven Hereafter.

A Warsaw Ind dispatch in yester-

meeting held in Warsaw Tuesday a
number of ministers. among them Rev.
L. w. Munhall, well known in Savan-
nah through his revival work here ten
years ago, discussed future punish
ment," decided that there is a hell and
that they would in future preach the
hell doctrine more vigorously than ever.
Rev. Bascom Anthony was asked as
to this decision of the ministers and
what were the causes that led to II.
In some denominations particularly in
the North, said Mr.. Anthony, there has
been for some time a growing sentiment
that led the ministers to preach less of
hell and future punishment, and more
of the delights of the blessed, the idea
seemingly TO be to win souls more by
promises than by threats. This plan
is not the right one, Rev. Athony
thinks, and he believes that IL is a re-
alization of this truth that led the min
listers in Warsaw to their decision.
Rev. Dr. McCorkle also was asked for
his view of the matter. He thinks
the decision a good one. as in some
quarters there is entirely too much of
tendency TO preach only of the bright
err side Of the hereafter,
