crowned in Westminster Abbey next

Victoria. The crowning of the fourth
George cost $4,000. 900. his mantle of

AN OBJECT OF HATE.
Venezuela's Dictator, Castro, Is a
Man Without Friends.
He Rules His People with "a Hand OF

Cipriano Castro, president Of Nene-

world. No oriental sovereign lives in
such constant dgead OF assassination
as does this dictator Of a so-called re-

The dictator has the face Of tired

cruelty. BY temperament he Is nerE~

that he knows as much as a chief Of

A SCHOLAR OF NOTE.
DR.. Edward AsaheI Birge, Acting
President of the University
of Wisconsin,

DR.. Edward Asahel Birge. who will
temporarily fill the Office of president
Of the University of Wisconsin, at
Madison, pending the selection Of a
successor to DR.. Charles Kendall Ad-
ans, is one of the most capable and
most popular of the teaching staff
of the university and, moreover, has
been connected with the faculty for
upwards of 25 years. When he came
to Madison in 1875 it was in the ca
pacity of instructor in natural his

no complaint. For every time the die

ment for making a golden haul the Off
GERS get the drippings. To illustrate:
Last fall the soldiers reported that
three rich Caracas merchants were
boarding gold within their homes. The
dictator ordered that each of these
men be taxed S6O,OOO for the ..support
of the government" The merchants
refused to pay. Castro turned them
over to certain army officers, who. hav-
ing made them prisoners, kept them
tied to stakes facing the sun all day
and facing an electric light as fercely
bright as the sun all night. Half blind
ed and almost crazed by their suffer
ings, they at last yielded and paid the
tax"
Another case was not quite so profit
able, either TO Castro or his military
staff. A German merchant arrived in
Caracas and proceeded to collect bills
payable to the amount of $4,000 in
cash. Castro not only forbade the Ger
man TO take the money out Of the
country, but demanded that 1t be paid
over for government support" The
man was arrested and tortured until
he understood that it was his money
