CHRISTMAS WAS QUIET.
Police Have Quiet Day, and There
Are But Few Violators of Law,

Christmas passed off very success
fully in police circles in this city.
There were but few arrests made, and
in no case was there anything but a
few cases of intoXication. This is to
be expected in any city but apparently
there We're fewer here yesterday than
usual. Three men were charged with in
toXication, while three others were
charged with vagrancy. After a
Christmas lecture by Judge Moon
these We're ell released except one
vagrant, who had been a little too
smart and he was given three days on
the stone pile. His name is James
Leighton. G. w. Mccormick. who lives
near Dahlonega, came into town last
night, and after imbibing a little too
freely went to the home of his divorc-
ed wife where he raised a disturbance.
He was soon arrested and placed in
Jail, and after getting lecture this
morning he was released. Two well
known young men who have respecta-
Bile parents We're placed in Jail for
driving off with one of William Hooge-
woning's carriages last night. The
boys were intoxicated, and this morn
ing after they had made arrange
ments with Hoogewoning to pay for
the time they had the carriage out
they were released
Pearl Clark, an inmate of Smoky
Row disorderly house pleaded guilty to
q case of Christmas intoXication this
morning and after lecture by the
court she was released.

MORNING SESSION.
Opening Exercises and First Five Con.
tests Carried Out.

SO far as the contests were con-
cened the morning session yesterday,
like those of former Eisteddfods, was
not highly interesting. AS is the case
in every affair of this kind, the first
session is given over almost entirely
to becoming organized. However, this
fact did not detract from the excel
lence of the numbers on the program.
A fact which was deeply regretted
by all in attendance was that Hon. T.
j. Phillips, the president of the asso-
citation, was unavoidably prevented
from being present at the morning
session. The announcement was made
by the vice-president, Phillip Water
man, of Hiteman, who acted in Mr..
Phillips. place. At the opening of the
morning session Mr.. Waterman intro
duced the officers of the association
and those who were to take prominent
parts in the program, and this was
followed by an invocation delivered
by DR.. A. e. Craig, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church.
Address of the Day.
Samuel B. Evans, of this city, de-
livered the address of the day, which
was well received by the audience.
Mr.. Evans address ives as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, members of
the Eisteddfod:
when your honored president re.
quested me to make an address on
this occasion asked him if he want
ed it in the Welsh or the English Ian.
guage, that if l made it in Welsh it
would necessarily consume a great
length of time, but ! could make it
very short if in English He replied
promptly: BY all means make it in
English. He knew very well that |
could not talk in, the Welsh language,
but he at the same time impressed
upon me that the address should be
brief.
II am gratified to stand before an
audience where there are so many
Welshmen. / am glad that l bear the
name | do, which may entitle me to
your consideration, forbearance, SYM
pathy and perhaps a brotherly feeling.
There is something in names. When
we hear the name of Williams, Phil
lips, Jones, Jenkins, Griffith, Level
lyn, Powell or Evans and by the way
see this name repeated several
times on the program), we know that
they are either Welshmen or descend

The annual meeting of the Iowa
Elsteddfod, the second one to be held
In Ottumwa, brought several hundred
people to this city yesterday. Special
trains brought Welshmen into Ottum,
wa from different points along the
roads converging here, and the day
was indeed a festival one The Els
teddfod is one of the old Welsh iEsti-
buttons, carried along through the
ages from the early days of Wales,
and it is rightly regarded by the peo-
pie of that country as one of their
dearest customs. It's purpose, as Of
yore, is to perpetuate Welsh music
and cultivate a love for music among
the Welsh people, and now it has an
added purpose to keep alive the
Welsh traditions and the Welsh Ian
guage.
Officers of the Day.
The meeting was at first in charge
of Vice-President P. H. Waterman, of
Hiteman, who later turned the pro-
gram over to John P. Reese, of Abba,
conductor of the day. G. B. Rounds of
Williamsburg, secretary, was assisted
by ]. P. McCaulley, OF Abba Vice
presidents of the day were Hon. H. l..
Waterman of Ottumwa, Major H. E..
Hull of Williamsburg and Edwin Per
ry of Willard. Mrs. H. E. Voiland, of
Abba, was official accompanist, and
Miss Diana Jones, of Beacon, pre-
sented the prizes to the successful
competitors. The adjudicators of mu-
steal contests were as follows: Dr. Nj.
L. Bartlett of Des Moines, Prof. Will
liam Solomon of Oskaloosa and J.
Maurice Kroeger of Ottumwa The
adjudicators of recitations: Prof Eu-
gene c. PIERCE of Ottumwa, Prof. ].
F. Treasure of Hiteman and Prof. H.
G. Hollingsworth' of Abba. All of
these officers gave entire satisfaction
to audience and contestants. and the
program was carried out with success
Goes to Des Moines.
The next meeting of the Eisteddfod
association will doubtless be held at
Des Moines next Christmas day That
city has made an offer of 5000 bonus
and the auditorium for the use of
the association, and it is thought that
the amount will be increased to $500.
The annual meeting of the association
will be held at Hiteman January 2
and the place for next years meeting
will then be decided upon. Another
meeting will be held in March for the
purpose of arranging the program and
selecting the adjudicators and other
officials for the day.

 cided success at Yale, toward the same channels of reputable public endeavor in which he had distinguished himself. Thus 1t is easy to see how, after gradu- ating from Yale in 1878, near the head of his class, and from the Cincinnati Law school two years later, the pres ent governor of the Philippines became assistant prosecuting attorney of Ham, ilton county. year later he was ap- pointed internal revenue collector, which position he resigned to enter upon the general practice of law. In 1887, when only thirty years old, his success had become so pronounced that Governor Foraker appointed him judge of the superior court, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Harmon. In 1890 he became solicitor general under President Harrison, and in this position, although only thirty three years old, he made a remarkable impress. His arguments in the Bering Sea and other great cases are still quoted as models to be studied by am- bilious young lawyers. Then there came vacancy on the federal cir cult bench in Ohio, and r. Solicitor General Taft became MT. Justice Taft. This is a sufficient index to d success full American character-a life position on the bench, won by actual ability and hard work. within a dozen years after graduation from the law school.

A MEXICAN CROESUS.
VAS 4 PEON LESS THAN <
 TEAR AGO.

His Income Now s2oO,OOo a Month People in Western Mexico are talk ing about Pedro Alvarado Less than
 one year ago he was peon. He lived
 in Parral a mining town in the state and ther was nothing about him to dis
 tinguish him from hundreds of other
 Mexican laborers in the mines. He
 wore sandals on his feet, and on his head the big, coneshaped sombrero
 which is the delight of the peon
 To-day he is living in luxury. He has a monthly income of more than $200000. He is more talked about in his home city and in every mining camp in that part of Mexico than any other man in that country, President Diaz not ex- cepted.
 Alvarado got his quick rise to fortune through discovering mine of wonder ful richness. He is another Stratton, except that his wealth came probably more suddenly and in larger amounts than that of the Colorado millionaire. It is not his sudden rise to affluence that is causing the comment about him so much as his remarkable manner of spending his money.
 He seems to have no idea of it's value, and his chief anxiety is to get rid of his income as rapidly as possible. Thomas Welch, an American mining man who has just arrived from Parral, related a number of instances of AL varados reckless expenditure to the correspondent. He said;
 T spent several weeks at Paral and saw Alvarado almost daily. The inter- est of every man, woman and child in that city seems to be centred in the man. Since last November his net prof. its from his mine, which Is named the Palmillo, have aggregated 1,500 900, and prior to that time he had probably taken out about $500,000 of ore. He will not put this money in bank, but keeps it at his home, where it is constantly guarded by large force of armed men.
 He has from $200,000 to $300000 on his person whenever he goes out on the street or elsewhere, and an armed guard of eight men always accompanies him. The members of this guard are dressed in fantastic Mexican costume and Alvarado Is always attired in the height of fashion. He pays a Mexican tailor a high salary to keep him clothed

lately that I fear Charnion will take cold if take her along with me. So
 thought I would leave her with Mrs
 Cleaveland while I am gone" And the 1 little old woman gazed affectionateIy al the wheezy terrior and stroked its head
 The doorkeepers felt so sorry for the
 old woman that they were half inclined
 to take the dog from her and care for il 1 in its age and decrepitude, but the fear that she might bother by frequently
 calling to inquire after the animal de- tered them. The authorities took | charge of the woman, whose mind had ! become unsettled as result of many troubles, and her dog and, and cared l for both of them. | A middle-aged woman, none too well
 dressed but very neat and tidy, called at the White House one afternoon to-
 ward the close of President Cleveland's l first administration. When she got in
 she beckoned one of the doorkeepers aside,
 Now, I wouldn't have you mention it for worlds" she whispered to the doorkeeper, "but how shall I arrange to send Mrs. Cleaveland some of my cast off dresses?"
 The doorkeeper, who, until the wo- man spoke. had no idea that her mind was wrong, tucked at this and made some evasive reply.
 ''They tell me that the poor thing hasn't a single solitary stitch fit to be seen," went on the woman. "It's sin and a shame! Scandalous! And she SO nice looking. Now I have such mill lions and millions of dresses that I could spare pust as easily as not. And we are just exactly the same figure, too, aren't we?" regarding her two hun- dred and twenty five pounds of avoir- dupois with great satisfaction.
 "All of my dresses" she went on, be- fore the doorkeeper could think of any thing to say to her. "were made by Worth and Felix-Law's me. How that poor Worth man has torn his hair and ground his teeth in thinking of new effects for my ball gowns! And, good ness gracious sakes alive, how Felix has despaired of ever doing me jus tice!"
 Well might he, madam said the doorkeeper, for lack of anything better to say.
 "so." went on the woman graciously, ''when heard that Mrs. Cleveland was actually without anything to wear I decided to ascertain from her if she would feel badly or humiliated-you understand-if I should-very delicate ly, you know-presume to send her about three dray loads of my own dresses that shall probably not wear any more, although they are almost as good as new, every one of them"
 Madam said the doorkeeper, "she would be everlastingly grateful to you for your consideration, Send them along, by all means"
 "Oh, thanks, so much!" exclaimed this liberal-souled woman, smiling ra- diantly, and she went her way. The three dray loads of Felix and Worth dresses have yet to be drawn up at the eoods-receiving back door of the White House. nor did the generous minded who had been the despair of the two great costume designers ever return to explain the draymen's tardi- ness.-New York Sun.

Parral with his wares. He was going
 along the street when he attracted the
 attention of Alvarado, who with his
 armed guard, happened to be passing | He showed his goods to Alvarado, and
 the latter asked how much he would
 take for his whole outfit. The pedler
 replied that he would sell out for S15, 900.
 Without any quibbling over the exorbi- tant price, Alvarado drew out the money and came into possession of the cheap watches, ornaments, and fake dia-
 monds. The man seemed as pleased as a boy with a new top over the trade he had made.
 "A short time before this Alvarado
 purchased three pianos of the most costly make. The instruments will go to ornament the palace which he is building for his permanent home. This building will be the finest private resi- dence in Mexico. No expense is being spared in it's construction. It is esti- mated that it will cost not less than s5OOOOO, and for that distant part of Mexico, where adobe buildings are the rule, it will be something wonderful.
 "Alvarado Is taking the deepest inter- est in the progress of his palace. He says that he will furnish 1t with the best things that money can buy when it is completed. He has purchased scores of useless articles, and simply buys them for the pleasure that they can give him for the moment.
 with all his reckless expenditure of his wealth he is displaying a philan- thropic spirit He has not forgotten the peons with whom only a short time ago he was closely associated. He has un- dertaken the construction of a large charity hospital for the poor of Parral This hospital will be equipped with all modern appliances for such institutions and he proposes to bear all the expenses of maintaining 1t. Tn addition to this institution he is also constructing large church, which he has named Guadalupe Cathedral This church will cost several hundred thousand dollars.
 There is no prospect of the wealth of Alvarado being soon exhausted. The Palmillio mine is destined to become one of the largest ore producers ever struck in Mexico. The output will soon reach two thousand tons daily, and the monthly Income of Alvarado will be increased to not less than S500,000 He has been offered fabulous sums for the mine. but all offers are promptly de- clined. His sole ambition is to develop the mine and to spend his income as rapidly as possible. He has helped many of his old- time peon friends in a finan- cial way and the lower class of Mexi- cans at Parral adore him. ."-Corre- spendence of the Providence Journal
