street Namea id Mexico.

According to Modern Mexico, tha
street names of Mexico are something
really appalling to the newcomer. For
instance, there is the Heart of Jesus
street, and the Street of the Holy
Ghost; Ave Maria street, and the Ave
nue. of the Love of God. Others are the
Street of the Saint of the True Cross
the Arches of Bethlehem and the Graves
of Saint Sunday street; the Bridge Of
Saint Peter and Saint Paul; and the
Street of the Crosses of Sorrow. Not
only are the names of the streets unus-
ual, but they are often in the most in
congruous locations. For instance, If
you walk down Jesus street, and con-
tinue in the second block, you viii be
startled to find that you are then on
the street of the New Slaughter House.
The Alley of the Egg and Potato street
is Just as likely to be the Drolongation
of the Back of Saint Teresa street as
any other. The Street of the Seven
Princes may no longer be inhabited by
royalty, but the Avenue of Illustrious
Men was named for real persons The
Street of the Lost Child derived its
name from a popular tradition, but the
Avenue of the Fifth of May was named
for a famous battle with the French
There are the Street of the Little Bird.
Street of the Fish. Bull street, and Goat
street, and Streets of the Flies, Rats
and BOOSTERS Then there are the streets
named for various tradesmen, as the
Streets of the Hatters, Tobacconists,
Coachmen, Milkmen, etc. One short
block glories in the name of the Street
Of the False Entrance of Saint Andrew.
The Alley of the Little Candle Shop,
the Street of Heads. Street of Thous-
and Wonders. the Square of the Thief,
are other oddities. 1t is not recorded
exactly as to whether Sad Indian street
and the Street of Crazy People We're
named after those who endeavored to
learn all the street names of the City
of Mexico, but if you at least feel IN
clined to swear after trying. it yourself,
you should first go over to Devil street

IS GOOD NEWS.
Missouri Pacific WiII Put on
Passenger Train.
Information Contained in Let

The announcement is made today
from the Office of the board OF railroad
commissioners that the Missouri Pacific
IS preparing to give Topeka daily pas
senger service not only 70 Fort scott,
out to Plttsburg, Joplin and on by direct
line to Memphis and New Dreams.
This comes in the nature of a letter
from Fort Scott from ]. H. Richards,
general attorney Of the company. Mr.

Topeka, Kas.
Gentlemen: Answering your letter OF

president and general manager, Mr.
Russell Harding, the matter of pressing
passenger service on the K. N. q u
division and l thing / can confidently
say to you that before great while this
service viii be installed
You viii observe the petitioners ask
merely for a train on the K. n. & u.
division which extends only from To-
demand and there have been petitions
addressed to the company for the IN
stallment OF ike service between Fort
Scott and Pittsburg or Joplin, and what
L am desirous of doing is TO have the
service put into operation between
Joplin or Pittsburg and Topeka which

people, that is to the greatest number

ment very much better sustain itself.
Besides this, we are rapidly construct
ing and Will befOre q great while have
done a line from Carthage. Mo, con-
Meeting with the PittsbHrg line
We are also rapidly constructing 8
line known as the White River Valley
road from a connection with the Iron
Mountain at or near Cushnans, Ark, to
Carthage. At Cushnans a connection
is made with our southern line which
IS being rapidly completed to New Or
leans. When these connections are all
made you Will perceive it will give q
continuous and direct line from Topeka
to Memphis and to New Orleans.
What the Missouri Pacific manage
ment had planned to voluntarily do. in
dependent of any petitions at all on the
part of the people along the road, was
to accomplish this as soon as possible
whether or not without these connec-
tlons a mere local line between Topeka
and Fort Scott would pay, or even be-
tween Topeka and Fort Scott or Joplin
1t has occurred to me that If an I'M
Outstanding of this kind definite and
reliable, could be had with the board
and through the board with the people
1t might be quite satisfactory and even
more satisfactory than to have a dis
connected line of doubtful value pre-
maturely established
We would like to hear from you at
your early convenience as to what you
think of the plan to get at an under

PIE along the line extending as far
south. say as Pittsburg.
Your early consideration of this mat
ter and reply viii greatly oblige me.

The only reason to suppose members

Corn Regaining Lost Ground.

Cleveland Leader
American exports Of corn are steadily
increasing and the shipments Of that
grain from the Danube valley TO west
ern Europe are as regularly diminish
ing. The indications are that the eN-
ports of american maize for December
win be three times as great as in the
corresponding month of last year,
though the shipments will hardly be
more than 80 to 80 per cent. as much
as they were in December. 1900. The
main thing is that the changes are con-
stantly in the right direction and they
are by no means slow.
These conditions in the corn trade in
dictate that the effects of a very bad
temporary loss of big export trade in
the most important American cereal
will soon pass away and it seems rea-
sOnable to expect that corn alone will
lift the total trade of the United States
100000 over the figures for the cur
rent year in 1903, unless there should be
a serious loss in some other direction.
Natural conditions faVOr q fine business
with Europe in many leading agricul-
tural products. notwithstanding the ex-
cellent haTvests of that continent last
season. Australia must import wheat
father than DISPOSE of a surplus, and
the Argentine exports of grain promise
to be only moderate.
Conservative Americans sometimes
have serious doubts about special fea-
lures of the financial situation, such as
the fate Of certain heavily watered
trusts. but there is no room for I'M
easlness concerning such basic elements
of our natural prosperity as the abund-
ance of great staples of the soil and the
size OF the surplus which can be sent
to other markets

Monthly Summary of Commerce ana

with production and expectation Of ag-

to show the relative growth in each
case. The gross value of manufac-
lures produced in the United States in
1850 was. in round terms, one billion
dollars and I'm 1900 10 billions; so that
