PRESIDENTS GREETINGS.
President Diaz of Mexico Sent Greetings
to President Mckinley by spe-
cIaI Messenger.

FL Paso, Tex, May 6.-The presi-
Dental party reached El Paso, the
gateway to Mexico, at nine O'Clock
Yesterday morning, and will remain
here until noon to-day. President Diaz
of Mexico had hoped to meet the pres
idemt here and shake hands with him
across the border, but as the Mexican
congress is in session he could not
leave the capital He sent personal
message To the president, however,
and also dispatched Gen. Juan Her
nandez, commander of the second
military zone, of the State OF Ctilua-
hua, to personally present his good
wishes to the chef magistrate of The
| United States.
Gov. Miguel Ahulnada of Chihuahua,
the mps5 northerly state of Mexico,
also Travelled 4 o FL Paso to pay his re-
spects, and these distinguished McNl-
can officials, accompanied by Cen.
Hernandez staff, in full uniform, were
received by the president in his car
at the station. After exchanging
felicitaticp4 the president requested
Gen. Hernandez to convey TO Press-
dent Dia% his personal good wishes
for the health and happiness of Pres
ident Diaz AMI for a continuation Of
the cordial relations at present exist
ing between the two countries.
1t being Sunday, the president had
requested the local committee not tc
arrange any programme for yester-
day. His wishes were respected, and
the military parade and official eXer-
cises were postponed until to-day.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley
and the members of the cabinet at
tended the Stanton Street Methodist
church in the morning, and in the at
ternoon some of the party went out
for drive.
After dark the Mexican band, which
had been brought from the City o.
Mexico by Gen. Hernandez, serenaded
the president and Mrs. Mckinley at
the train. No horns or drums were
used and the soft, dangerous Spanish
airs, on guitars and mandolins in the
cool of the evening were thoroughly
enjoyable.
While it was comparatively quiet
day in FL Paso, notwithstanding the
large number OF persons in the crowd,
it was different in the Mexican city
of JuareH. Just across the Rio Grande.
May is the anniversary of the de-
feat of the French invaders at Pueblo,
and is celebrated as our Fourth OF
July in the United States, The MeXl-
cans are not puritanical in their OBJ
servance of the sabbath.
Yesterday the great feature of the
celebrations was Spanish bull fight.
A famous mateador had come to
Juarez from the City of Mexico for
the occasion. None of the members
of the presidents immediate party at
tended, but bull fighting is the nation
al sport in Mexico as in Spain, and
Gen. Hernandez and the governor of
Chihuahua occupied a box overlook
ing the ring. The fight proved to be
more than usually bloody and brutal.
The net casualties were four bulls
dispatched, one horse killed, two plea
doris unhorsed and one toreador Sc
verely, but not fatally, wounded, as
he was helped over the fence sur
rounding the arena by the maddened
bull.

Women in the Tobacco Tents.

Sumatra tobacco raising in Connect
cut has opened new field of employ
ment to women. The business was marked
by strike almost at the beginning. I'm
like most strikes, this one was settled by
the strikers getting more than they asked
for.
Sumatra tobacco is not harvested like
other tobacco in this State. The plants,
which are cultivated under huge canvas
tents to protect them from the weather,
grow higher than Il mans head, some
times eight or nine feet high. The hot
tom leaves are the first to ripen and are
gathered rs fast as they mature. In the
other tobacco fields the whole stock is
cut and hung up to cure at the same
time.
As the leaves of the Sumatra plants
are cut, beginning at the bottom of the
plant and working up as they ripen, they
are strung together on cord four feet
long. Twenty-Five laths or strings of
leaves are made into bundle and for
the work Of stringing the women receive
20 cents q bundle The work is light,
clean and pleasant, and yet the growers
have had difficulty i'll securing young
women in sufficient numbers to supply the
demand. 1t is because the women do not
yet understand what is required of them;
and when an application is made at the
| city employment offices for girls to go to
the tobacco fields, the girls think they
are expected to go out IN the sun and dc
mems work.
A Tariffville farmer has field of eight
acres of Sumatra tobacco under canvas.
When he started in with women stringers
| he paid them 16 cents a bundle. Three
young women were sent out to the farm
| from the State Free Employment Bureau
| Thinking they could not make enough at
the rate of pay offered and realizing that
| the growers must get the crop properly
harvested, the girls organized a strike and
demanded IS cents a bundle. The farmer
had been informed that the rate paid in
Florida for the same work was six or
seven cents a bundle and that 10 cents
would be considered u princely wage at
Quincy, Fla. Still he agreed to con-
ference, and deciding to treat the girls
with the greatest fairness, he made the
rate 90 cents a bundle, two cents more
than the girls asked for. At this rate
! they can make from $1.20 to So day.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIRrNE: 1t appears
that some OF our comrades are anxious TO
changed as to admit certain gentlemen into
our noble Order as honary members. Also,
to permit dropped members 20 become mem
herS in any Post without being reinStatcd
in their former Posts, upon payment OF mus
term fee. ETC. etc. Now, we belcVe these
proposed changes would prove detrimental
to the best interests Of the q. A. X. The
real object for which our Order stands
would soon become "clouded." and Conspicu-
Gus only on account of its honorary member
ship. IL the gate 10 our g. a. X. is to be
opened. why not to the Sons OF Vet
Grams. who have something in common with
u.s. If the honor of Old Glory is to be main
tanned in the near future IL will not be by
our honorary membership, but by the Sons
of Veterans. For Heavens sake don't faS-
ten an honorary tail to our kite; but let
the G.. 4. X. keep clear of self destruction.
We also disupprove of the other amend
mcnt for various reasons. There are in
stances where a member has been dropped.
According to our law and by such act 4
COurt-martial has been evaded, well as
the disgrace of following such proceedings.
Now, by virtue of the proposed new rule
this unworthy dropped member. who has
perhaps put himself in 4 position 10 be
dropped in order to evade court martial, can
step into another Post and stand shoulder
to shoulder with pure and law-abiding com
radcs without coming back to his former
Post and comrades. making the crooked
straight. and thereby he rcinStatcd. get an
concerned that he is worthy to he admitted
into any Post Of the C.. \. Il. Where is the
worthy comrade who would not prefer to
have such 4 recommendation on entering an
Other Post: Only such as are working the
G. 4. Il. scheme for money or assistance IN
deserved would he benefited by said new
rules. Again. if this rule We're in operation
] see nothing to prevent that same indi-
vidual belonging to another Post even before
he Is dropped from the first. Better let well
enough alone. comrades. Any worthy com
rade can procure Il transfer card by appii-
cation either in person or by letter. and
such card is a guarantee Of good standing.
Comrades. let Us continuc to guard cur grand
organization with CarncStnesS. We have no
particular objection TO admitting the Sons OF
Veterans to our G.. 4. r.. and under certain
conditions this might prove beneficial. l do
not expect to be benefited by having this
iGca put into execution at least individually,
as | have no eligible members even then.
My boys are all girls. But ! believe the
sons of comrades stand nearest to us.-J.
