Enusiveness Between Women Is No
Longer tho Fashion.

From the Riehmoad News Leader
What has become of the old fashioned
form of salute among women? Time was
when no two women could meet or part
without exchanging a kiss 1t was the
conventional gTeetifg. not to be omitted
under pain of being thought cold. distant.
naughty. A kiss between two women is
considered by ma masculine on-looker Us
a species of famiable treachery. How
these women love each other" he says with
a sheer. and is quite prepared to hear them
rend each other regulations two minutes
later. Nor Is be always disappointed.
The kiss-or the buss. as it was called In
earlier days-has steadily degenerated from
a sign Of hearty affection to sign Of con-
ventional Indifference, or rather a signal
of a moments truce between conflicting
personalities. The origin of the kiss Is
disputed 1t smacks Of the days of gods
and goddesses when Pygmalion animated
his Galatea by the touch of his lips, and
Pyramus and Thisbe mingled their. breath
through a. hole in the wall.
Job mentions it: "If behold the sun
when 1t shined. or the moon walking in
brightness: and my heart hath been Sc
cretly eptfced or my mouth hath kissed my
hand" ETC.; and Homer makes Priam kiss
the hand of Achilles. The pope's toe has
been kissed since Constantine I thrust his
foot under the lips Of the Emperor Justin
ian on his entry into Constantinople, and
the Queen Of England today kisses the

Man Condemned to Death Released
After Fifteen Years in Prison.

From the London Chronicle.
The latest of the life tragedies which have
come under the notice of the Salvation
Army Is that of Henry Bowles, now shell
tered at their Prison Gate Mission Home
Argyle square Kings Cross, London.
Briefly. his story is this: In 1888. fifteen
years ago, Bowles was sentenced to death
on the charge of poisoning his housekeeper
and SON with strychnine. Fourteen hours
before the execution this sentence was COM
muted to penal serv.tude for lie. During
these years not emily has the conduct of
Bowles been excellent. but the Salvation
Army through its prison mission, con-
Quoted by Col. Sturgess has become con-
yinced of his innocence. Three years ago
Gen. Booth conducted meeting In the
prison and had such interview with
Bowles as, wrote the general LATER made
"a great impression on me- Following an
other such interview he begged on behalf of
the man the special consideration OF the
prison commissioners. The ultimate result
was that Bowles was released, and now the
cence Is shown in the fact that the home
secretary has cancelled his license and he Is
free man.
A nursery gardener by occupation, Henry
Bowfes on the death of his w fe, engaged
as housekeeper to look after his children a
woman recommended by friend She was
unfortunately. a secret drinker, and Bowles,
on discovering this, reproached her and re-
fused more money. That night he heard
her say to his son. "I'H take pill, and as
you're not well you have one Also" Shortly

Il append hereto the report of my assist
ant. Mr.. James l.. Pugh, jr., showing the
cases tried. etc. in the Police Court. The
volume Of business on the District side OF
the Police Court has greatly increased, not
only In consequence Of the growth of popu-
lation. but also by reason Of changes In the
code whereby certain classes of prosecu-
tons were transferred fIom the attorney
for the United States to the corporation
counsel. For the year ending June 80, 1901.
there were IL. 335 cases tried and $50, Cos. 81
collected as fines. For this year, as shown
by the report there were 1883 cases tried
and $50, % collected as fines.
Attention is called to the urgent neces-
sity of amending the provisions of the law
regulating the sale Of intoxicating liquors
to minors: the bill Is. 4202. 57th Cong, LIST

or a separate and specific law on the SUBJ

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO

Yankee enterprise. money and grit are so rapidly making inroads upon the ancient and obsolete characteris- tics of Old Mexico, that an honest statement of the extent to which this is true, is not always received at Its full value.
 There may be those who look with skepticism upon the seemingly florid tales of fabulous wealth of the mines of Mexico. as well as upon the state ments of the amount of American money invested in the Sister Re public
 It is therefore most interesting to be able to present the question from so impartial a standpoint as that Oc- cupied by the United States repre- sentative at the City of Mexico. Hon Andrew D. Barlow, U. $. Con 1 suI-General, has just made his report | to the department at Washington, in which he shows that Americans are 1 rapidly taking charge of affairs down l there, and today they own three fourths of the railroads of Mexico. He
 estimates the American inyes tntent ia mining in Mexico at $SO,0OO,OOO, and makes special reference to the fact
 that many of the mines abandoned years ago by the natives, are now pro lducing wealth by the introduction of American machinery, indicating the vast importance of this fact to the
 manufacturing interests of the United
 States.
 Consul-General Barlow makes these estimates also: American money 1T Mexican agriculture, S2S,O0O,0OO; 1T
 the City of Mexico, s32O,000,O00; esti
 mated total invested in Mexico, $500, 900 900. This report states:
 The impetus given to Mexico's in : dustries by this enormous augmenta
 ton of the nations working capita accounts in no small degree for th'
 great industrial progress which 1t ha made during the past twenty year
 With Mexico buying 5S per cent of al l. her imports from the United State and selling 80 per cent of all her ez
 ports to the United States, and witt

 can capita. in Mexico, the commercis bond between the sister republics i one that can hardly be broken. It

THEATRICAL.
The Real isis Hopkins"

isis Hopkins" that charming pastor
al comedy, which is now in its fifth sea-
son of unbroken success, with Miss Rose
Melville, the originator of the character
of Sis, in the title role, comes to Lar
sons theatre on November 3. So great
has been the success of this remarkable
play that NTH. Sterling, under whose
direction it has become one of the most
popular and famous of the modern COM
edy dramas, has decided to keep it out
for an indefinite period, and this seas
and costumes have been provided with
lavish hand. 1t is now one of the
most picturesque productions on the
stage. and in support of Miss Melville
there is company made up of some of
the best known character actors on the
stage to-day. Many of the members of
the company have played leading roles
in prominent productions and are well
known to and popular with theatre
goers. The story of isis Hopkins" is
that of an awkward country girl, the
daughter of "Pa" Hopkins. and she
dresses in that queer, old fashioned
style of Bingham pinafore, stripped
stockings and pig tailed hair put up
with funny little red side combs. A rail
road wants to get the right of way
through the farm and an agent comes
along to secure the necessary papers
and signatures. His efforts to this end
give Sis her first insight into the du-
plicity of the world. 1t is revelation
II her and in a most pathetic scene she
announces her determination to go
away and learn to dress and lie and be
like other people" When she returns
it is as young woman of fashion. re-
fined and well versed in the niceties of
the social world only to find that her
father has lost his mind and does not
recognize her. She slips away and
returns clad in her old clothes a. Sis,
and sings her old fathers favorite bal
lad. brings him back to reason and rec
IGNITION. The character of Sis is dis
tinctive and quaint and is original with
Miss Melville. Her mannerisms. her Odd1
hating speech, the humorous sayings
and her lettering walk make the char
actor one of the most interesting on the
STAGE. When she is asked to sign away
her portion of the farm for the railroad
she speaks those lines which have be-
come famous from one end of the coun-
try to the other: you can't never
make nuthin' dom nuthin' for nobody
for nuthin'"
