4 Warm Experience.

1.-The tabasco sauce incident which plays
such an important role in the Booz in
Vestigation reminds me of a very harrow
ing experience OF my own in old Mexico"
said New Orleans railroad man, accord
ing 70 the New Orleans Times Democrat.
I'm tell it TO you briefly: About ten years
ago I went down over the Mexican Cen
trail of Chihuahua. and that being my first
visit to the republic, everything was new
and strange, especially the cooking.
had a letter of Introduction to the COM
mandante Of the city. who proved to be
a courtly superb-looking old gentleman,
and he Immediately made preparations to
give dinner in my honor at his resi-
dence the following afternoon. / was a
little embarrassed at so much attention,
but al the same time / was anxious TO
get glimpse of native social life, and
when / put in an appearance l found a
really brilliant assemblage composed of
the principal personages all around, and,
after little ceremonious conversation,
we took our seats a. the table, my own
place being between my host and his
beautiful eldest daughter.
The dinner was excellent, and every
thing passed off smoothly, until about the
middle of the repast. when the command
ante remarked that he was about to in
vite my attention to a chara cteristic Mex
lean dish, which he had ordered his cook
to prepare for my particular delectation.
1t is local version of chili-colorow,' Re
said. and while it's a trifle high-havored,
l will guarantee that you find it de-
licious. AT the same moment the deli
cacy made its appearance. 1t was brick
red in color and had the general aspect
of a thick vegetable stew. Seeing that
| was a bit timid, the beautiful senorita
at my side helped herself to a portion and
smilingly swallowed a liberal spoonful.
That dissipated my fears, and without
any further hesitation l proceeded to fol-
low her example.
ITO fully describe what happened next
would need an accomplished linguist. You
couldn't possibly do it justice in one
tongue. I felt as II I had bolted quart
of red-hot carpet tacks The roof of
my mouth shriveled like a collapsed bal
loon! Tears ran down my cheeks like
rain! l couldn't breathe l leaped to my
feet gurgling horribly, and rushed around
the room for water, which is the last
thing in the world you will find on
Mexican table. The guest shrank back
in horror, supposng 1 had gone sudden
ly mad, and most of the ladies went into
violent Mysteries; but the courtly com
mandante ran after me and seized me by
the flying tails of my coat. Then he held
open my jaws while his beauteous daugh-
ter poured cruet of olive oil into my
sizzling gullet. That relieved me, but
the episode broke up the banquet, and
dare say it is still a stock story in the
best circles If Chihuahua society. 1 left
early next morning and have never been
back. 1t is black spot in my memory
l afterward ascertained, by the way, that
chili-colorow is prepared from native red
pepper pods which have ripened on

MR. nRYAN,s TuTuRE COURSE.

Since Mr. Bryan's Chicago speech there
has been considerable discussion i'm the
West as to whether what he said on that
that he intended TO retire from active pol
tiles Only those who want something
to talk about could possibly draw such
an inference from his utterances on that
point. He made it very plain that he
should continue to take an interest in ma
tional political questions. and an active
part in politics. but he said that he might
not again be a candidate for public office
The conclusion from what he said about
public office seems to be that it is not
his intention to make an effort to be the
presidential candidate of his party again
1t is also a fair conclusion that if his
party should want him to make the race
again he would do so.
In view of the fact that 1t is not likely
that he would change his views on sew
eral important matters in order to get
the nomination it is pretty certain that
he will not again be the candidate of his
party for President. II is about certain
also that his party will not adhere close
ly to the doctrines announced in its last
platform in making its declaration of
principles four years hence. 1t looks,
therefore. as il Mr. Bryan and his party
would drift apart though it is certain
that in his paper and in his platform
utterances' he will try to hold the party
to his political beliefs.

Inquests are sometimes very funny af-
fairs" remarked a Western man yester-
day, says the Washington Star. 81 re-
member one in the early days of my
county in Kansas, which, by the way, is
the home county of Jerry Simpson. A
man was found dead by the side of a
small stream out on the prairie. No mark
was found on his well-dressed body; his
gun was fully loaded in his hip pocket
and $25 was found in his pocketbook. Of
course, the coroner took charge of the
money. jury was impaneled and af-
ter finishing its deliberations found that
the man clearly died of heart failure
The coroner promptly paid from the dead
mans pile the $12 due for expenses and
discharged the jury The $l3 remaining
bothered him. He argued that to turn
that $1S over to the county to be held in
trust for the mans possible relatives
would be the same as throwing it away.
The man was a stranger in those parts
Possibly he had no friends. The coroner
was equal to the occasion. however. He
declared himself dissatisfied with the YER
dict and called the jury together again.
They sat on the body second time and
found exactly the same verdict, but the
coroner's mind was at ease. The s25 was

business man. according to the New
York Sun, "as friend of mine has learn

to that point the other day I sent him a
check for rent. In couple of days I re-

thought was a missing check. Two or
three days later I got another letter in
which he explained that he was having

and they were stuck together, and he
thought it would be joke to send the

TWO APPOINTMENTS CRITICISED.

1t Is rather unfortunate of course that
the President appointed a son Of Justice
MoKenna TO the Office Of inspector general
OF Porto Rico, and a son Of Justice Har
Ian to the Office OF attorney general of
that island, while the Porto Rican cases.
in which tho Porto Rican policy Of the adj
ministration is involved, are pending be-
fore the court of which the foregoing jus
tees are members, but It is doubtful IL
there is one rlght-thinking man in hum
dred who believes that the President
thought to influence the decision of the
two justices in question in the cases, or
that the appointments viii have the 81 ght-
est effect on them in reaching their con-
cusions.
The presumption is that the men ap-
pointed are qualified for the places which
have been given them, and that there were
good reasons why they should be appoint
ed. Would It not have been a reflection on
the justices in question If the President
had refused to. make the appointments on
the ground that some people might inter
pref his action as an effort to influence
the judgments of the two justices?
There is no doubt OF course that public
men do things they ought not to do simply
10 crafty feelings of spite or revenge, or
because they want to discharge Obligations
they owe, but a justice of the Supreme
Court would hardly make a decision
against his judgment, a decision involving
the rights and interests of a vast number
of people, simply to please a President
who had given his son a petty office.

HILLS CALL TO TEXAS.

The invitation which ex-senator Hill
of New York has received from the
Legislature Of Texas to address that body
means that there is dissatisfaction among
Texas Democrats with the position of
the Democratic party upon some of the
leading questions before the country, and
with the men who have been leading
the party ever since the adoption of the
Chicago platform It is impossible to
state how great this dissatisfaction is,
but It is a safe conclusion that 1t is not
confined to a small minority OF the party.
If that were the case the resolution con-
tanning the invitation would never have
been adopted
It IS true that Mr. Bryan has also been
invited, but it is worthy Of notice that
his name was not included in the origi-
nal resolution. The invitation to him was
an afterthought. and was extended at the
request of his admirers IN order that it
might not appear that there was a dis
position to find fault with his manage
ment Of the last national campaign and
to consider him as no longer the leader Of
the party. Mr. Bryan has a host OF
friends and admirers in Texas, but it -
doubtful if the. Democrats of that state
are thinking of him in connection with
the next presidential campaign. If they
thought It advisable to still keep him at
the front the Texas Legislature would
not have asked ex-senator Hill to visit
that state.
ie mr. l1aT1 r hat he Ial.1 lore Nf
the Democratic party have come to the
conclusion that their party has but little.
If any, chance OF being entrusted with
the control Of the government as long as
it adheres strictly to all the doctrines
set forth in the Kansas City platform.
They see that the silver question will
have to be abandoned and that perhaps
some of the other doctrines will have to
be modified. Indeed. they find that even
in the South there Is growing opposition.
particularly among business men, to any
financiG' legislation that would disturb
the gold standard.
Under the circumstances it IS but nat
ural that there should be a movement to-
wards ex-senator Hill He has been con-
sistently against free silver. If he had
not been overruled at Kansas City by Mr..
Croker 1t is probable that the Kansas
City platform would have been different,
so far as the money question was con-
cerned He has stood by the party Loyalty.
though feeling all the time that it's po-
stion on the money question was an I'M
popular one. He is therefore in good
standing with the party leaders in all
parts of the country.
No doubt he understands, and the
Texas people understand, that the invi-
tation is a movement in the direction of
1904 1t is an announcement to ex-senator
Hill that the Democrats of Texas think
well of him, and that they have him In
mind In connection with the next presi-
Dental nomination of their party. 1t is
an admission also that there is strong
probability that the views he held on pub
lie questions when the Kansas City plat
form was adopted will find favor with his
party when the time comes for framing
the next national platform.

All such weddings as that of Alfred Van
derbilt and Miss French are written up in
the newspapers in the most sensational
manner. The rich dresses are described
and the cost of the presents stated. 1t Is
said that the value of the presents at the
Vanderbilt French wedding was 81 100000
There is, however, another view to take
Of the matter. 1t is that 1t is better for
the rich to put their money i'm circulation

who were paid for making the costly
gowns, preparing the rich viands and
making the articles which composed the
presents at the Vanderbilt French we'd
