THE PEOPLE OF ACRE.
Little Known Region of South Amer
lea in Dispute Between Bolivia
and Brazil.

The region of Acre, in northern Boz
livia, has been disputed territory be-
tween that country and Brazil for
nearly so years. The little country
has come into public notice recently
because Bolivia leased a part of the
Acre region to an Anglo-American
syndicate. Brazil objects to this
business arrangement, and has
threatened to break off diplomatic re-
Iations unless the contract is re-
scinded.
Except that the country is rich
in rubber, little is known about it.

tween the boundaries of Brazil and
Bolivia, and Peru and Bolivia, with
the Benz river as the base. The po-

ARTHUR J. BALFOUR
England's New Premier and His
Illustrious Predecessor.
Man Who VIII Govern Great Britain
for some Years to Come Is
Nephew of the Retiring
Government Chief.

The nephew succeeds the uncle, for
Arthur James Balfour, incoming pre-
mier of England bears that relation
ship to the marquis of Salisbury, who
goes out cheerfully TO resume his
beloved studies of chemistry in the
laboratories Of his great house near
St. Adams.
When Arthur Balfour was at Cam.
bridge he got the name of Aunt
Fanny" but he has lived it down.
There is nothing eifeminatc in the
character of Arthur Balfour who to-
day steps into one of the first admin
istrstive positions in the world.
He was born in Scotland July 25,
1s4S, and is the eldest son of the late
James Maitland Balfour and Lady
Blanche Gascoigne Cecil. sister of the
present marquis of Salisbury. He
practically began his political life as
private secretary to his uncle when
the marquis was secretary of state for
foreign affairs. One-third of his 81
years have been spent in political serv-
ice, that service finally bringing him
into the position of conservative lead
er of the house of commons. Ever
since he was first elected to parlia
ment in 1874 he has been close to the
person and deep in the counsels of
Lord Salisbury. He Is popular in
many sections of the empire, and ad-
mired where he is not popular.
He was selected for the chief Sec
retaryship of Ireland, because ''he had
the hardest head, the steadiest nerve,
and the strongest hand" for the po-
sition. His self-possession is de
scribed as "indomitable and ever Wig
liant" The conservatives hold to him
because he is an "aristocrat to his
finger tips" and that kind Of aris-
tocracy is quite popular in England at
the present time.
Scotland has taken especial delight
in honoring this brilliant son Of hers.

COURTS LADY VILLIERS.
10 Marry Noted british Society
Favorite.

Lady Edith Nilliers, one of the
bright and shining stars of English
society, has, it is said, received pro-
posal of marriage from Waldorf
Astor, the son of William Waldorf
Astor, who renounced his American
citizenship and became a British SUBJ
ject. Lady Villiers is said to be hesi-
tating between young Astor and a
peer.
Lady Villiers, daughter of the
earl of Clarendon, was born February
90, 1877. Her father, who is lord
chamberlain of England, was born
in 1916. He married, in 1876, Caroline,
eldest daughter of the third earl of
Normanton. Lord Clarendon was

him an honorary degree of some kind
or elected him to some position in it's
government. English universities
have also signalIy honored him, and,
although a graduate of Cambridge, Ok
ford has heaped its honors upon him
with a friendly hand.
Balfour has called himself a popu-
lar statesman, "and by that, he says,
81 do not mean a statesman who is
personally popular, but a statesman
who aims at furthering the prosper
ity of the people"
Lord Salisbury looks back on a po-
litical career of more than half a cen
tury.
In 1888, when only % years old, he
was elected to parliament as member
for Stamford, and represented this
borough for IS years. He took ar
active part in all public measures
which affected the interests of the
established church and the chief po-
Etical questions of the day. In his
younger days Lord Salisbury was a
frequent contributor to the Quarterly
Review and kindred periodicals.
In 1866 he was appointed secretary
of state for India, which post he re-
signed in 1867 on account of a differ
ence of opinion respecting the reform
bill. Two years later he was elected
chancellor Of the University of Ok
ford in succession to the late earl of
Derby.
When Disraci returned to office in
1874 Lord Salisbury was appointed sec
retary Of state for India. These two
great statesmen were the representa-
tives Of Great Britain al the congress
of Berlin in 1878. On his return the
queen invested Lord Salisbury with
the Order Of the Garter
In 1881, after the death of Lord
Beaconsfield, the marquis became the
leader of the conservative party in
the house Of lords. On January o,
lss5, Mr.. Gladstone was beaten on a
udget vote and resigned, and Lord
,alisbury took Office as premier.

THE YOUNG IDEA.
structor who Was Training
1t to Shoot,

Teachers often find the developing"
process discouragng. A young minister,
seeking to impress the beauties of nature
upon his class of East side boys, had been
describing the gradual unfolding of the
sprlngtime, relates the New York Judge.
Pausing impressively at the end of his
speech he asked:
Now tell me, boys, in your own Ian
guage, what comes in the spring."
The rent mani" quavered u pathetic lit
tie treble.
Again the developers enthusiasm was
chilled when urging upon his pupils the
Importance of attendance upon Friday
evening exercises.
Remember, children" said the pastor.

Sunday. On the Sabbath day we have the
regular morning and evening services.
Now"-with a blandly expectant look
what do we have on Friday

interpreted by the two countries is
the cause of the dispute. A traveller
recently returned from Acre says, in
the New York Tribune, of the ma
tives that they are in many respects
like the Boliyians, but that there are
among them tribes of lower class
than can be found elsewhere in that
part of the world. Some of them
are said to be cannibals, and all are
shy and averse to the invasion of
their country by the whites. They
are experts in the art of using darts,
spears and javelins, and delight in
practcing with these from the bush
on intruders, whom they usually at
tack from behind.
They wear no clothes, but have
elaborate headdrcsses made of feath-
ers and beads, and the younger ones
wear strings of coins and metal disks
around their nccks and wrists. There
are no horses or mules in Acre, and
the llama is used as the beast of bur-
den.

1865 he contested the seat for the

Waldorf Astor is "a years of age,

his boyhood, and, both socially and
politically, is English in his ways.
He is a good oarsman, a fine horse

born in New York, but knows little
or nothing about his native country.
He was a college friend of the son Of

1t Is simply amazing the quantity
of vegetables and produce that Is
disposed of In this city daily.
Hucksters from the surrounding
country bring their products to this
market In preference to shipping
to Wheeling or Pittsburg. Many
of them travel a distance of forty
miles, coming by rail-, river, over
land IN vehicles and on horseback.
The B. & 0. railroad also brings
by express each morning large
consignments of vegetables, fruit
and produce of general variety.
Perhaps the most extensive gar
deners that visit our city are the
Messrs. fisher Bros. of Hannibal,
Ohio. They have been engaged In
the business for many years, and
have prospered beyond expectation.
Their trade III this city reached
such proportions that 1t became
necessary during the season for
them to build a gasoline launch to
transport their products here.
During the early part of the season
they came every morning, but at
present only come twice week
Tuesday and Friday mornings.
Yesterday morning their load
consisted of 80 bushels of toma.
toes. for which they received
forty cents per bushel; sixty
quarts of lima beans, SC per quart;
IS baskets of grapes, I5c per basket;
E bushels of string beans, ooc per
bushel; 4 dozen egg plants, 6oc per
dozep; 20 dozen cucumbers, nc per

and bushels sweet potatoes $1.1o
per bushel.
We merely give the above named
articles and quotations In order to
give our readers an idea of the ex-
tensiveness Of the produce traffic
here and the prices the hucksters
receive. We do not exagerate
when we say that the Sis'ersville
