CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR PUZZLE,

From all appearances the war which is impending among the Central American republics will be a desper- ate affair-for those who read the newspapers. Already it has assumed an aspect which is disheartening for any conscientious person who desires to keep informed as to how they are getting along down there. The situa- ton is so mixed that it would not be surprising if a few of the generals forgetting which side they are on, should actually whip themselves }ii 1-
 So far as can be determined Senor Bonilla has been elected president of Honduras His predecessor, Senor Sierra, is so attached to the office that is reluctant to give it up. He has raised an army to signify that he will not retire from the presidential chair. at least not at present. But at this point the affair becomes complicated. President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, has sent troops to aid Sierra TO add to the confusion Senor Regalado, the re- tiring president of Salvador, has sent a force to invade Honduras and aid Bonilla.

A FALSE ALARM.

Gradually information is leaking out in regard to affairs at Cananea, which Are most startling in regard to extrav- agant management of the property dur ing the past two years, whereby it is alleged that large sums of money have been squandered. Greene, it is al legged, has lost control and the new management is attempting to reorgan- ize the forces, and bring some order into the business. It is even alleged that the last dividends were not regu- lar, as they were paid while the com pany owed vast sums of money The Capital stock was recently increased $600, 1000 for the purpose of taking up all outstanding indebtedness, but it is stated that the money derived from the sale of this stock was diverted into other channels. There can be no question but that the affairs of th , company are in great muddIed and tangled condition. Some sensational developments may be expected to fol lew shortly.-Copper-Era ..-
 The above statement in the Copper Era, the Review has every reason to believe, is based on idle rumor. Many times in the past these reports have come to the ears of the Review and in each instance was found to be with cut any foundation of fact when in vestigated at the headquarters of the company. .. -.
 The latest reports from Cananea are to the effect that everything is running smoothly at that camp and the com pany is making more. copper than at any time in its history. W. C. Greene is still president of the company, and will very likely continue to be, until he voluntarily resigns.

 Chips From the Temple.
 The following instructions on how the apron should be worn have been issued by the grand master of Illinois: 'It should be worn over the coat. If the coat is of a kind which cuts away in front, then the apron may. be worn under it. The strings of all aprons should be long enough to permit going around the body twice and tying under the flap in front. Under no circum- stances should they be allowed to dan gle down behind" The Illinois Free mason says, These may appear small matters. but at the same tise we learn that in Masonry there is right and wrong way to do everything" @

on December II, 1901, the municipal

board of aldermen also passed the
ordinance. The next day, January

mayor of Greater New York under
the amended city charter which that
day went into effect. The measure

came to the new mayor for his sig

Of the quaintest hamlets of the coast
has grown up, having a summer pop

growing one in winter. The locality
has much TO recommend it-an almost
perfect climate the year around, and
sports anu pastimes which have given
it a worldwide reputation.
There has been one drawback to
Santa Catalina, and that was the lack
of Geographic communication. In
summer there are from two TO three
boats daily; but in winter only one,
the steamer arriving at noon. For "a
hours the island was virtually without
communication with the mainland. To
remedy this, the tanning company,
who own the island, established pr
geon route. Large focks of these birds
were trained, and kilograms or inn
portant news were sent in this man
ner with success, the birds taking
message from Avalon to Los Angeles,
distance of IS miles, in about an hour.
The pigeon houses were so arranged
that when a bird arrived with a mes
sage IL rang an electric alarm in the
receivers home or Office, thus calling
him up.
But there was an element of uncer-
tainty in this. Sportsmen who did not
know that the birds were tame shot
them en- route. Others died of over
exertion. In the main the service was
satisfactory, but so many prominent
men visited the island that the need
of adequate means of communication
became more and more urgent. Final
