MAY GOVERN MEXICO
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, President
Diaz' Probable Successor.
At Present He la Minister of War and
One of the Strongest Political
and Social Leaders of Our
Sister Republic.

If Gen. Porfrio Diaz resigns the Of
fee of president of Mexico he will be
succeeded by Gen. Bernardo Reyes, the
present minister of war. If President
Diaz should die suddenly while in Of
flee he would likewise be succeeded by
Gen. Reyes. The accession &c the
presidency of Mexico, if accomplished
by Gen. Reyes through the resigna-
ton of his chief, would be compare
lively peaceful event. Should he Sc
cure the office through the sudden
death of the present incumbent he will
do so under circumstances which will
give rise to some alarms in foreign
countries whose citizens are interested
financially in Mexico maintaining her
present political stability.
The story that President Diaz il
about to resign has again gone the
rounds of the press of the United
States. 1t is familiar story, and as
it is based upon perfectly logical out
come of the present situation in Mex
leo, it is readily accepted 1t is not
believed by those who know the presi-
dent of Mexico that he is anxious to
lay down the tremendous and autocrat-
ic power which he has exercised so
wisely and so long. He realizes, how
ever, that he is getting to be an old
man. He also realizes that, owing to-
the peculiar character of his people
and the autocratic form of government
which prevails in Mexico under the
name of a republic, that the will of
the people is not expressed at the bal
lot box, and that a new reign cannot
be inaugurated as in the greater and
truer republic to the north.
If President Diaz resigns it will be
because the love of his country, which
is strong within him, is greater than
his desire to continue to WELD the
scepter.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes first came into
political prominence as the governor Of

train. 'The company deposits its re-
ceiPts in bank, and the bank weighs
all the gold taken in. If there's a
shortage, which there generally is, as
gold wears off rapidly in handling, il
is charged up against the depositor.
Consequently the company holds the
agents responsible for short-weight
coins just as it does for counterfeit
bills. If we take any it's at our own
risk. 1t seems pretty tough, but it's
fair enough when you consider the con-
ditions. The man who offers gold here
is as much of a nuisance as the one who
tenders pennies"

GOLD COINS AT DISCOUNT.
Why Elevated Railway Agents and
Others Refuse to Receive Them
When rendered.

whats the matter with it?" asked
a passenger at an elevated loop sta
ton in surprise one night when the
ticket seller refused to accept a FIVE
dollar gold piece rendered in payment
of the fare, reports the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Nothing that I know of, " replied the
ticket seller, Except that the company
won't take it from me unless it's full
weight and I've no means of knowing
whether it is or not"
But it's legal tender, and there's
a federal law making it an offense to
refuse to receive legal-tender currency
of any kind" replied the passenger,
who by this time was getting rather
''warm," despite the cold weather.
Cant help that" was the answer.
eff it happens to be few cents I'M
der weight the company will dock me
for the difference. and l can't afford
to take any chances. My salary is not
that of bank president, and l can't
stand any reductions"
By this time the crowd had become
interested, and backed the passenger
up in his determination to ride free if
the agent refused to change the gold
piece. The depot policeman didn't
know just what course to pursue. He
wanted to eject the obstinate passen-
ger, but the crowd wasn't in a mood
to be trifled with, and the matter was
finally compromised by the agent ac-
cepting the coin under protest.
"There's something to be said on
both Sides" was the comment of the
agent after the man had taken his

previous vessel. At present he has
decided to carry out his experiments
upon the lines in which he has been
so successful. 1t is his contention
in connection with navigable balloons
that aeroplanes should not be used.
NJ. Santos-Dumont thinks that petrol
will be the sole power employed for
aerial traffic, since with a petrol mo-
tor half the motive power is derived
from the air, thus minimizing the
weight of fuel to be carried, Electric
and other motors must carry all mo-
tive power in bulk. Xhe outer bal
loon of No. will be cigar-shaped as
before, but it will have two inner
cases instead of one. There will be
no framework inside, the material
being kept rigid solely by pressure.
NJ. Dumont intends continuing his
experiments with machines with a
carrying capacity of one person only
for the present.

HOW TO VIEW LIFE.
Not as a Goblet to BE Drained, But
Rather n Precious Measure
TO BE 3SIIed.

President Hadley, of Yale, in an
address to the students, recently,
used an illustration that will bear
thinking about by every young man,
in or out of college to-day. He spoke
of the eager hopes of those before
him, and of how much each expected
to get out of life; but he gave them,
instead, higher thought. I'VE
think of life" he said, "as a goblet
to be drained; is it not rather
measure to be filled?"
There is the whole difference be-
tween a wasted life and the success

An Odd WindfaIl.

1t is said that a foreman stereo-
typer in London printing works has
had curious windfall. Going to a
sale of musical instruments, he pur
chased an old harpischord for 20
shillings, because, having a hobby for
fretwork, he fancied the wood of the
front panel. When he got his pur
chase home he dissected it. He then
discovered that the harpischord had
a double back. and presently between
the boards he found very old Bank
OF England notes, the total face value
Of which amounted to $150,000.

HE DOCTORED THE EGGS.
A Physician Played Sherlock HoImeS
and Caught IA Dishonest
EmplOye.

A Long Island doctor who has been
missing eggs from his poultry yard
for some time is happy at last, for
he has discovered the thief. For
months every effort and every device
to detect the culprit failed, but, final
ly, the doctor hit upon scheme that
was worthy of Sherlock Holmes.
He took a dozen or more eggs and
bored the tiniest of holes in the shell
of each. Then through these holes he
introduced into the eggs a piece of
very fine wire The holes were then
filled with white wax and the eggs
returned to the nest.
A few days afterward the doctor was
called in to see the child of a woman
in the village near him. After attend
ing the child he talked about one thing
and another until the lady told him
of such a strange thing that had hap
pened to her. \ few days before she
had bought half dozen eggs from the
village grocer and in four of them she
had found short pieces of wire.
These were produced and shown to
the doctor, who took possession of
them, and told the lady how they had
come to be in the eggs. He then inter
viewed the grocer, who finally admitted
that he had been buying eggs for some
time from a man employed by the
doctor. The man is now working else
where, says the New York Times, and
the doctor no longer patronizes that

Microbes in Jewels.

To the bacteriologist as to tae sap
per, says the Lady's Pictorial, nothing
is sacred. In his positive greed for a
new scare he will ransack the secret
recesses of my lady's wardrobe, ruth
lc.sly create a panic in the p" 1try, and
even descry ones faith in sealed ves-
sells. Casting about to find some fresh
lair OF his beloved becilius, he would
now fling over the headgear of beauty
herself a microbe shadow, so he says.
He would have us believe that tho
ubiquitous germs linger in the material
of which our dainty hats are composed
and. furthermore, that the very jew
eled hatpins wherewith we secure them
to our coiffures become coated with
tiny organisms. which thus get con-
veyed to lips and throats. 1t is surely
rather ridiculous suggestion, which

tempt. Really, if we we're as microbe-
ridden as all this, life would soon not
be worth living.

them, Mr.. w. H. Daniel and Mr.. A.
G. Harmon, called on Acting Mayor
Dixon yesterday to lodge complaints
against the prospective construction.
The proposed location of the tank is
beyond the city limits. The city, there
fore, has no jurisdiction in the matter.
City Attorney S. B. Adams was called
into the conference, and his opinion
was that the city could not interfere
Some months ago, when the question
of the extension of the city limits was
agitated, it was proposed to make the
the Chemical Company's plant stands
and that on which the Oil Company
wants to build its tank. All manufac-
turers of that section, however, entered
protests against being incorporated.
Had they not done SO, and had the
nally, the city would have had juris-
diction over the erecting of any threat
ening oil reservoir or any other struct-
ure that might be regarded as danger
Gus to surrounding property in case of
fire.
The insurance representatives told
the acting Mayor that 1t was the pur-
pose of the oil company to construct
million gallon reservoir. This would
be used for the storage of fuel oil Sc
cured from the Texas wells of the COM
pany and brought to Savannah by its
tank steamers. Such a reservoir has
already been constructed by the COM
pany, of which Mr.. Allan Bond of Sa-
vaDnah is vice president, at Tampa
and other. places.
With a monster oil tank so near, the
insurance representatives said that in
surance companies would not accept
the risk on the Chemical Company
property. 1t is now said that, since it
was found that the city could not in
terpose, the intervention of the courts
will be sought to prevent the Oil Com
pany from placing a tank so near the
Chemical Company's works.

slow.

the south side of Park avenue, just
