Greatness of Diaz.

The change that has come over Mex
leo since Porfirio Diaz first became
President twenty-six years ago is suf-
ficiently shown by glancing over the
history of that anarchial state for the
twenty-six years which preceded his
accession to the office which he still
holds. Between 1851 and 1858 Arista
Herrera, Santa Anna, Carrera, Alvarez,
Comonfort and Zuloaga rapidly sue
ceeded each other either as president or
dictator, and the expulsion of the last
was followed by three years civil war,
which eliminated in the Intervention of
Great Britain, France and Spain, TO OBJ
tain satisfaction for the murder and
robbery of their subjects. Then fol-
lowed the brief and unstable empire
under Maximilian, ending in his trial
and execution. Afterward Juarez, a
full -blooded Indian, was president un-
til his death in 1872, and he was sue
ceeded by Ledro de Tejada, whom Diaz
overthrew in 1877. Even if President

Rnssia,s RaiIroad Craze

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 12.-Profes-
sor Migulin has published some inter
esting results Of an inquiry into the
cost Of Russias railway craze.
The Manchurian line, in its far from
complete condition, has already cost
$1S5, 100000. and the professor very
much doubts If it will ever pay. The
annual loss on working the line
amounts now to $5.000,OOO apart from
interest on capital, while the guarding
of the railway swallows up $500. 900 a
year. The steamship company has a
deficit of $4,000, 00O
Adding to these heavy annual losses
the further expenditure on completing
the line and ports and maintain the
troops concentrated in the Far East. a.
total of $4O,0OO.OOO to $4,000, 900 is
shown as the annual drain on the Rus
sian peasantry.

prevail among Republican leaders.

Series of Specific Charges
HEARING TO BE GRANTED
Senate Committee Will Give
the Mormon Statesman OPP
portunity for Making Defense

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The SEN
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions met to-day to outline a policy to
be pursued in investigating the pro-
tests filed against Senator Reed Smoot
being permitted to retain his seat and
decided that before taking further
steps Senator Smoot should be given
an opportunity to make reply to the
charges. Senator Burrows, chairman
of the committee, was instructed to
notify Smoot of the decision of the
committee and to request that what
ever reply he may desire to make shall
be in writing.
The specific charge against Smoot as
polygamist is made by John T. Lei
itch. The other charges are signed by
eighteen citizens of Utah, of whom
fourteen are Republicans and four are
Democrats. "A statement has been filed
with the committee giving the occupa-
tions and other facts concerning the
signers. This statement shows them
to be men of standing. Their charges
are:
\. The Mormon priesthood, according to the
doctrines of that church. is vested with su-
preme authority in ali things temporal and
spiritual
2. The first presidency and twelve apostles
are supreme in the exercises and transmission
of the mandates of this authority.
3. AS this body of men has not abandoned
the principles and practices of political dicta-
ton, SO also it has not abandoned belief in
polygamy and polygamous cohabtation.
1. That this is the attitude of the first pres
idency and apostolate, even since the suspen-
sorry manifesto of 1890, is evidenced by their
teachings.
5. This body of officials. of whom Senator
elect Smoot is one, also practice or connive at
and encourage the practice of polygamy and
polygamous cohabitation, and those whom they
nave permitted to hold legislative offices have
without protest objection from them sought
to pass law nullifying enactments against fo-
lygamous cohabitatfon

Of which Senator-elect Smoot is one to wit

only connive at violations, but protect and

During the meeting it was stated on
behalf of Senator Smoot that he had
employed counsel. and that John G.

German Inventor Has Discovered
Spectacles That VIII Greatly In

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-The German army
administration believes it has at last
found spectaeles which will enable pri-
vate soldiers to shoot straight.
1t has been quite a problem to in
crease the effectiveness of the firing
line by having glasses enabling the
wearers to see true, the difficulty be-
ing that the soldier is unable to adjust
his glasses and often must look
through the edge instead of the middle
of the lens. This difficulty is obviated
by the insertion of a special aiming
lens, which always remains at right
angle to the line of vision.
1t was observed during the hot days
of the autumn maneuvers that soldiers
on the firing line were occasionally
seen to wipe their spectacles or go
stumbling along in charge because
their glasses were clouded with per-
spiration.

of England, found it necessary in 1900 to put his wife in an asylum, as she had developed suicidal mania. Here she re- mained under close observation fur nearly a year, during which time she was placed in the special charge of a pretty, fair-haired nurse of "A, who seemed to have made pleasant impress sion on the husband of her patient.
 In the summer of 1901 the lady died, and of course the widower had, no fur ther need to call at the asylum. But after a few weeks he began to miss seeing the pretty nurse, and when six months had passed he felt so strong a desire to know if she were still in the same situation that one day he called and inquired for her. SIX months later when he considered his term of mourn ing had expired, he proposed, was ae- cepted, and the two are now the happi- est married couple you could wish to see.
 Jail is net altogether pleasant place in which to meet ones future life-part- ner, but several instances go to prove that there are unlikelier spots. Early in the nineteenth century a young man of the name of Benjamin Flower was imprisoned in Newgate for writing a spirited defense of the French revolu- tion. While there he was visited by a Miss Eliza Gould, a lady of a philans thropical turn of mind, who spent much of her time visiting the prisoners in their afliction,a 7 and, when permitted to do so, reading to them and writing their letters.
 MT. Flower was strongly attracted by Miss Gould's goodness no less than by her remarkable beauty, and when his term of Imprisonment expired and he gained his freedom, the friendship be- gun under such romantic cireufn stances continued, and the two frequently met. Ultimately, finding that they could not live apart, they were married. Two daughters were born to them, one of whom, Sarah, gained immortality as the authoress of that beautiful hymn: Nearer. My God, to Thee.''
