minutes. This measurement was se-
cured for the purpose of determining
whether the connection of drain pipes
from buildings would not cause the
sewers to overflow. at the time of any
severe storm. 1t was determined that
such an amount of rain. as reported
had fallen by Superintendent McKln-
ney would at any time overoflw sew
ers.
This brought up the quetsion of the
drain pipes from buildings and there
was considerable discussion about the
matter. 1t was finally ordreed on
motion that City Attorney Staley be
instructed to draft an ordinance. pro-
hibiting the connection of any build
ings with the system of sanitary sew
erage and that all persons connected
be disconnected. Council adjourned

ELEPHANTS ESCAPE.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. "a Fire
partially destroyed the new brick car
barn at the new winter quarters of
the Barnum and Bailey circus here
today, and burned number of cars
belonging to the circus. The loss is
estimated at 500, 600. ON which there
was an insurance of S33, 900.
The fire was cauesd by lamp fall
ing to the floor in the midst of a
quantity of benzoine and other in
fiamable matter. While the fire was
at its height cornice FELL carrying
to the ground with it twelve firemen
who we're at work on the roof. The
men were much bruised but not other
wise injured.
Excitement was occasioned during
the removal of fourteen elephants
which were quartered in building
adjoining the barn. 1t was necessary
to remove the elephants through a
door facing the burning building and
across the tracks between rows of
burning and smoking cars. In order
to accomplish this safely the four
keepers took one elephant at a time
until the entire herd was removed.
The loud trumpeting of the elephants
gave rise to the rumor that the ami
mails had broken loose. This rumor
rapidly spread around the city and oc
casioned much alarm. The other an
imals. however, were at no time in
danger. The fire was under control
in about half an hour.
Six new Pullman cars valued at
$i3.0 900 each and two new fiat cars
valued at $4,000 were destroyed. More
than $50 feet of the barns were burned
to the ground and ten stock cars
which were standing outside of the
barn were damaged.

the banks of the La Plata, stands the
massive government building, on the
other the cathedral, the archi-Episco-
pal palace and the halls of congress.
Another step and the principal streets
of the city are reached-the newly
opened Avenida de Mayo, the Gale
Rivadia, Victoria, San Martin and
Florida, along which are located the
fashionable stores, clubs and banks.
The Gale Florida, however. is the real
center of the city's ife-what Broad
way is to New York and State street
to Chicago.
Next to the parks, the tarbor and
stately schools and colleges, the most
interesting point in Buenos Ayres is
the magnificent old cemetery, the
Recoleta. From the Recoleta boule-
ward leads to Palermo, dainty spot
on the river, and to the Parque de
Febrero with its wonderful avenue
of palms, the finest thing of its kind
in the world. Nowhere is the elegance
of South American life accumulated as
forcibly as in this charming locality.
On the so-called "Corso days" and on
Sundays, blooded teams, i've and six
abreast, crowd the boulevard drive
way and excite the admiration of
thousands of pedestrians. The great
park is connected with the city by q
multitude of trolley lines and a rail-
way. The latter also runs to the race
track, TO Belgrano, a suburb of beauti-
full villas. and to Tigre, a partially
wooded island in the Parana river.
What Palermo and the race course
are to driving and racing Tigre is to
Aquatic sports, of wisich the natives
seem to be very fond.
General social life does not differ
much from that of large cities in
other lands, and there are but few
original street types to attract the
travellers attention. Among the lat
ter are the "changadors" husky fell
lows to be seen on every street corner,
waiting for odd jobs IS messengers,
rug beaters or anything else that may
turn up. Another striking character
is the milk man who comes to town
bright and early in the morning,
mounted on patient piece of horse
flesh, carrying the tactical fluid in tin
cans enclosed in OK hides. A few years
ago q still more interesting sight de-
lighted tourists. In the morning the
milkman drove his cows through the
streets and delivered the milk direct
from the animal to the consumer, thus
doing away with the necessity of a
milk inspection department. But
these good old days" are almost over.
The rapid progress in the development
of the city\is supplanting archaic Gus
toms and manners and but few days
hence and Buenos Ayres will in all
respects follow the methodical and
uninteresting routine which char
acterizes life in metropolitan centers
the world over. KARL OENiEE.

but they have done much more than
the others towards building up the
commerce, charities and schools Of the
city.
Although the republic and the CAPT.
tai have suffered much from wars, rev.
olutions and panics of every kind, they
have somehow managed to conquer all
these obstacles, and in spite of tenn
porary difficulties and the present
wrangle with Chill over the frontier
question it is safe to assume that
Buenos Ayres will grow steadily in
Importance. If nothing but its in
crease in population were considered
its growth might be considered one
of the wonders of the age. In 1852 the
city had 100000 inhabitants; now it
has a population OF 1,000,000-an in
crease of nearly 100000 in 20 years.
This rapid growth OF the city becomes
stin more interesting when one takes
a brief survey of its past history.

cred the Rio de la Plata-the Silver

river-in 1915, and after Sebastiano
Caboto and Diego Garcia had sailed up
the Parana and Uruguay rivers, in 1927,
Emperor Charles V. dispatched, in the
year 1885. the Spanish commander Pc
dro Mendoza with strong expedition
to colonize the country along the banks
of these mighty rivers. Shortly after
his arrival Mendoza founded u city on
the right shore of the La Plata which
he called Buenos Ayres.> After centu-
ries of oppression and spoliation by
the Spaniards and after many san
culinary struggles the Spanish viceroy
of the La Plata provinces was deposed
and a provisional government formed.
This occurred on May IS, 1910, which
day has ever since been observed as
the birthday of the republic-a South
American Fourth CT July. But only

rational development Of the country.

rational development Of the country.
Moreover, in 1865, the Argentine Re-
public was forced into a disastrous
war with Paraguay, which was not
definitely concluded until 1876, when
the allied governments of Argentine.
Brazil and Uruguay forced their
plucky enemy to submit to humiliating
terms of peace.
In the following decade the country
made wonderful progress, which was
impeded only occasionally by presi-
maladministration of President
Juarez Celman, from 1885 to 1890, it
was brought to the verge of ruin, from
the consequence of which it is suffer-
ing unto this day; and only the great
resources of the republic, developed
largely by the industry of immigrants
from Europe, and the honest admin
istration of public affairs by President
Pelligrini. Saenz-Pena and Roca have
saved it from absolute decay. But In
spite of these obstacles the city OF
Buenos Ayres has grown steadily in
wealth and Importance.
Like most South American cities,
Buenos Ayres is laid out on the checker
board plan. Most of the houses are
one or two story structures with mar
row, unattractive fronts, but of great
depth and deliberately decorated on
the inside. The rooms are usually ar
ranged to open upon patio,
square court ornamented with shrub
berry, potted plants and fountains.
Large mansions sometimes have two
or three of these courts, one or two for
the family and third for the higher
household officials. In the center of
the city, however, this ancient style of
architecture, which provides an
abundance of light and air, has been
supplanted by the modern interna-
tional residence. In all other respects
Buenos Ayres is q metropolitan city.
1t has number of really fine public
buildings, club houses, banks and
monuments and a score or more of
small parks and squares. The most
famous of the latter is the Plaza de
Mayo, a beautiful park ornamented
with superb monuments and sur
rounded by some of the most imposing
edifices in the world. On one side, on

A WONDERFUL PLACE
Buenos Ayres, the Capital of the
Argentine Republic.
II II q Metropolis In Every Sense of
the Word, with Beautiful Parks
and u Truly Mag ificent
HarbOr.
Especial Buenos Ayres letter.


NNE of the most important COM
mercial centers of South Amer
lea is Buenos Ayres, the capital
of the Argentine Republic, which has
population of nearly 100000 and is
connected with Europe and New York
by several direct lines of steamships.
The city of Buenos Ayres is situated
on the right bank OF the mouth of the
La Plata river, which at this point is
about 40 miles in width. Until few
years ago ocean liners were compelled
to anchor 20 miles outside of the port,
owing to the shallowness of the river
bed. and passengers and freight had
to be transferred to small river steam
ers; but now the city has a magniti-
cent harbor with modern docks and the
largest ships can discharge passengers
and cargoes in close proximity to the
leading hotels and railway stations.
But Buenos Ayres is of Importance not
only on account of its foreign COM
merce, but also because it is the ter
minus of the La Plata River Navigation
company, which likewisecontrols traf-
fic on the Parana and Uruguay rivers
as far north and northwest as Para
quay and Brazil. Moreover, a network
of railroads connects the capital with
every province of the republic.
The European and American ele-
ment has grown quite influential DUR
ing the past two decades and has con-
tributed not a little TO the development
of the country. The Italians constitute
the largest part of the foreign popula-
ton, closely followed by Spaniards and
Frenchmen. The English. German and
American colonies are far less impor-
tant as far as numbers are concerned,
