 The news fakir was doing business at the old stand yesterday again. A pretended report of the yacht race gave the winning time at fifty two sec onds instead of one minute and twenty nine seconds, the correct time. 4 pretended expression of opinion from Sir Thomas Lipton, "as feeling very doubtful of the outcome" was purely imaginative. as Sir Thomas is not the sort of man who acknowledges defeat in advance. That expression was a twin brother to the one telling of the undying friendship between Cardinal Canutelli and the late Pope [ Leo XIII. emanating from the same mental vacuum.
 Fl Paso papers deny the reported death of Pedro Alvarado, as recently published, and states that he is enjoy ing excellent health at his home in Parral. Six years ago AlvaradO, then poor miner working for a few cents day, discovered the rich lead now | known as the Palmillas mines. He soon became enormously wealthy from the product of his mInes, and has been making rich stakes at frequent inter vals ever since. The mines seem ineX- | haustible, and produce marvellous amounts in silver and some gold. No man knows how rich Pedro is, but his wealth has been estimated all the way from fifty to two hundred mill ions. Alvarado lived simply, though he gave away enormous amounts to charity and the church. He recently offered to pay MeXico's national debt. ! He will not trust banks to hoard ! his wealth, but stores it in great vaults near bis mines. Of late he l has been buying ranches and mines.
