The traditions OF the saltpeter trade

Francisoo-whch trade is Far more ex-
tensiye than is generally known--are
to undergo a revolution aud the change
10 the ancient way Of things is a formal
admission that for sheer physical
strength the poems Of Chill beat the
Workaday records Of the world. For
many years the Chllians have filled or

and fourth classes very low.
THE UBIQUITOUS SLOT BOX.
Speaking Of slot boxes, they are to be
found everywhere here and Of every
kind. In some Of the cities you can buy
tickets on the elevated railroads by
dropping a German nickel, which
means two and one-half cents, In the
SLOT There are slot boxes which sell
postal cards and slot restaurants where
you can get anything from a thimble-
full Of benedictne or chartreuse to a
glass Of champagne or a schooner Of
beer, and from a chocolate cream TO
slice Of roast beef The advantage Of
the slot machine Is that II dispogsas
with feeling. There are no waters and
hence no fees, and this where one has
to pay from cents TO a dime for every
service, amounts TO much.
GERMAN ECONOMY.
The Germans appreciate small saw
ings. The richer among them spend a
great deal but they know Just where
the money goes and try TO get the
worth Of II. The poor get more for their
money perhaps than any other poor in
Europe outside Of the French They
know how to prevent waste In cooking
nothing Is lost. The crusts Of bread and
stale pieces OF the loaf are kept to
thicken the next days soup and the
waste paper of the poor man Is kept
for fuel
German stoves are economical. They
are made Of porcelain and are often a
yard square and from six to eight feet
tall Each stove has a series Of fues
and very little fuel sufices to warm
il, once hot It gives out a gentle heat
all day. using amout one-third the coal
Of an American baseburner and moth

of coal is saved, and a great part Of
that now used Is In the shape Of bril-
quotes or bricks made OF coal dust, 50

as the coal itself and al the same time

ness In Germany,
CHEAP HOUSE SERVANTS.
The Germans have a better system OF
domestic service than we have. In Leip-
sig and other German cities the people
live in fats so that the most OF the
work Is confined to one floor Every
room Is valuable and the servant usual
~ has little more than a closet to sleeD
in. The mistress Of the house knows all
about housekeeping, that being a part
Of every German girls education, and
she watches to see that no food is vast
ed. The servants are seldom given the
same food as the family and among
some 1t is customary to give the hired
girl an allowance Of two or three cents
for her supper and let her buy II out

seldom goes out TO the kitchen.

mont agencies here. Each town has

and the book stores Of Austria and Ger
man Switzerland are fed from here. All
publishers have their agents at beip-
sig and many keep full stocks OF books
on hand so that they can supply orders
at an hours notice. There Is a regular
system Of sending out books by cheap
freight and express and the agents ar
range for quick delivery and make all
collections, They represent the book
stores. as well as the publishers, and
the system Is such that the publishers
so represented come into direct contact
with the buyers all over Germany, and
by the Leipsig agency throw their
books into something like 10000 stores
About the only provision Is that all
books must be delivered in Ieipsig free

there are lavatorIes but an extra charge
Is made for the use Of towel and soap.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-SiI Philippines
agrees with Macmonnies, the sculp-
tor, one of whose works has just been
taken out of DE Metropolitan art
museum in New York on account of
the nudity of one of the figures.

shortly.
The American public is getting
wiser and more catholic in its tastes
all the time and it will not be many
years before any objection to work
of art on account of undity will be
laughed at"
Macmonnies says his structures
upon the narrowness of the American
people are based partly upon the ex-
clusion of his Bacchante from the
Boston Library a couple of years ago
and upon the recent objection to his

This prudity is ridiculous" he said

Washington, Jan. 24.-Minister Bow
Ell has not yet received reply to his
initial proposition to the allies regard
ing Venezuelan affairs. Much as he
deplores the inexplicable action OF
Germany in twice bomt arding the San
Carlos forts with force many times
larger than that of the Venezuelans,
he is disposed to treat this parade OF
strength as local" and as far as he
is concerned will not let it interfere
with his efforts to secure peace. The

ties on the part of the German men OF

of navigation the Panther then re-
sisted.
In order TO exact immediate punish
ment for this attack, more so as the
Venezuelan government has pro-
claimed it victory, | bombarded the
fort with the Vineta on the 21st inst,
and destroyed it,"
Bernn. Jan. 24.-Foreign Secretary
Rich,o;en speaking on the Venezuelan
affair in the reichstag yesterday said
that as early as July, 1901, the Ger
man officials proposed to submit the
controversy TO The Hague. Castro
did not answer this proposal. Refer
ring TO the assertion during the de-
bate that the navy acted contrary to
the international law in seizing mer-
chantmen, Richtofen said:
with the beginning of the blockade
a state of war was created between
us and Venezuelan had a very full
hand, from its standpoint also the OBJ
legation to capture Venezuelan mer-
chantmen. The English and Italians
did the same"
The secretary then stated the pres
ent diplomatic status of the question
and expressed the hope of negotia-
lions soon to such result that the
blockade may be raised. He said that
while the blockade lasts the blockading
forces must compel respect for it, ana
that probably accounts for the action
of the German ships against Fort San
Carlos. The government was without
information regarding the lombard
ment except dispatch from Maracal-
DO stating that the ships Vineta and
Panther had bombardei, set fire TO
and destroyed Fort San Carlos on Jan
uary 81 While a true report had
not yet been received from the COM
mander of the German force, Richtofen
expressed the belief that he could I'M

rect appreciation of the situation and
that our blue jackets will maintain

LYNCH GUILTY
OF HIGH TREASON

London, Jan. 24.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch, the Irishman who fought with
tie beers against Great Britain, was
found guilty of high treason yester-
day and sentenced to death. This is
the first time in so years that any one
has been found guilty of high treason.
The result of the trial caused SEN
sation. Lynch took his sentence cool
ly. He and his counsel had a
conference regarding the course to be
adopted in the future and later it was
announced that no action would be
taken at present. The counsel can
proceed with applying for a writ of
error, but it is thought this may be
rendered unnecessary by the com
mutation of the sentence to a short
term of Imprisonment, in which case
it is probable the prisoner will accept
the situation.

Minister Bowen Will Not Cease
His Efforts Toward Peace

on this ground his orders to the Vine
ia Fame and Panther are not so SUI
prising. 1t is hoped, however, tina

the German pride.
The Representatives of the allie

the activities in Venezuelan waters
but it is evient they fully appreciate
how greatly the bomt ardments hav
increased the gravity of the situation
The reports from London that Minis
ter Bowen came to Washington witt
documentary evidence of the collu
sion of the German government with
the Venezuelan revolutionists for the
overthrow of Castro are lacking cor
firmation here, Minister Bowen bein
unwilling as yet to affirm or def
them. It is stated, however. that tn
revolutionists are finding no troubl
in securing arms and ammunition fror
