DF ALL the worlds autocrats. none
is more interesting than Arch
bishop Casas Nuevas, the cas-
soclSed despot Of Guatemala, and none
uses that power more benefcentIy
This IS more remarkable because Cen
trat America in general, and Guatemala
in particular has for generations been
dominated By military diCtatOrs ruling
under the thin disguise of constitutional
presidents. The archbishop towers
above these dictatOrs as the greatest
dictator Of them all. He tried in vain
TO become president, and through that
very failure became more powerful
than any president Guatemala has
known Here is the story OF how It
happened.
Many years ago when Barrios was
iu the height Of his power in Guate-
mala, there lived I'm that country a
rich planter named Senior Don Casas
Nuevas. He was the only man in
Guatemala who dared to openly with
stand BarriOs. He was the only man
whom Barrios feared. Wealthy, we'll
born, influential clever and attractive
I'm his personality, Don Casas Nuevas
soon gathered a strong party around
him and became one of the most pop
ular men IN the country.
ffe was Of a fiery. ardent nature. and
an his tastes were military. While
stiH young, he sought to become an
officer IN the Guatemalan army, but
Barrios refused him a commission,
fearing his popularity among the peo-
pie too much to put him IN & position
TO influence the soldiers also.
'If I can't go into the army" said
Casas Nuevas to his friends 'Tll have
an army of my own"
Forthwith he set to work to organ
lie one among his friends and the
1abOrers of his large estates. He was
the richest man in the country. own
ing turquoise mines. opal mines, coffee
plantations. and cocoa walks. Even
the maintenance Of his own little
standing army was a luxury he could
well afford The force was better dis
ciplined. better drilled, better paid and
better uniformed than the regular
troops Of the government. Barrios
ordered it Go disband, but dared not
try 20 enforce the order.
Then when the time for the cleo
ton Of president came around, Casas
Nuevas ran as a candidate against
BarriOs Barrios was an autocrat
who hitherto had simply renominated
and reelected himself without oppo-
sition at the end OF each successive
presidential term. But Casas Nuevas
surrounded by his many friends and
guarded by his little army. defied him

and made II necessary to fight the cleo
ton with ballots.
Barrios was defeated by a large ma
JOrity of votes, and the Guatenalans
rejOiced that his long term was ended
al last by the handsome, gallant Casas
Nuevas-the idol of the people every
where But they rejOiced too soon.
In his own part Of the country. on
his estates, surrounded by his army
Casas Nuevas was safe But he fool
ishly came to the capital. almost un-
attended, to assume the presidency.
BarriOs still controlled the Guatemalan
army, and saw his chance. In the
dead Of night his soldiers dragged Ca
sas Nuevas from his bed and arrested
him on charge Of high treason 20 the
republic.
The high treason consisted Of hav-
Z ing run for the presidency against Bar
rios. and the tribunal was a drum-head
courtmartial, composed OF Barrios' ia
vOrite officers. The trial took place
that same night and Casas Nuevas was
sentenced to be shot at sunrise.
But Barrios weakened. He knew the
popularity Of his foe and feared that
if he were shot there would he an out

his troops could not cope. At sunrise
he went to Casas Nuevas and said:

STREET CAR COURTESY.

We are sorry to say that in the
matter of unfailing courtesy to
women, the south seems to have been
affected and to have deteriorated
somewhat of late years. But if any
change for the worse has taken place
in New York, present conditions
must be bad, indeed. Fifteen years
ago toil-women, exhausted women,
laden with heavy parcels or baskets.
swayed YEARLY in the aisles for mile
after mile, while well-fed, prosperous
middle-aged and young men took up
more than their share of the seats
of the New York Il" and surface
cars.
Nothing of that kind could be wit
messed in a southern street car, even
now, when the old chivalric reverence
of the sex has lost some of it's polish.
But there is no telling where any
custom once started will end, and we
are, therefore, glad that the matter
has reached the point of discussion
and protest at the north. 1t is best,
under any circumstances, to have bad
examples done away with.-Augusta

PHAs-S OF MONROE DOCTRINE.
OUR ATTITUDE KINDLY ONE

Before Academy.

Philadelphia, April 1S.-The annual
address before the Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science last night was
delivered by Francis -. Loomis, first
assistant secretary of state and form
err minister to Venezuela and Portugal.
His topic was The Polical Position OF
the United States on the American
Continent.
Loomis discussed at some length the
various timely phases of the Monroe
doctrine, and gave a synopsis of the
occasions when this country has been
called upon in the past to make
demonstration of force in some Latin
American country, while forcing re-
dress of grievances or respectful con-
sideration of just financial obligations,
THE position and supremacy OF
the United States in this hemisphere
does not rest wholly upon military
power, the possible exhibition of force,
or the potency of vast wealth" said
LOOMS. THE policy of the United
States in its attitude toward the Latin,
American republic is one of helpful
ness and kindly interest. Our rule OF
action in respect of them is the golden
rule. We have been generous, toler-
ant and sympathetic in the past, and
we are going to pursue this line OF
conduct in the future We took the
risk of war Win one of the most pow
erful nations the world has ever
known, in a large measure, for the
sake and protection of a small South
American republic. We want to
Americanize this hemisphere, not by
virtue of military supremacy or power
of the almighty dollar, but rather by
lofty and uplifting potency of those
great principles, those fine ideals and
those spiritual forces, upon which this
country is founded, and upon which it
has lived and has had its marvellous
| being"

those who do not love him politically.
TO the eye of Sargent. so extraordinar-
lily keen in summarizing the tout en-
semble of a personality, to the exclu-
sion sometimes not even Of its weak
nesses, the character in this one
would appeal irresistibly. Indeed,
from its yirility his own virile and
masteTful manner would receive more
than ordinary inspiration. AS a con-
sequence this portrait, so far as one
can judge from the reproduction, will
rank among the artists most spirited

And is it not an example of his intui-
ton and tactfulness in imagining

figure in dark silhouette against
light background? Instead of bring
ing them nearer together in some
more obvious tonal arrangement, he
has by contrast secured for the figure
additional insistence and authority.
Equally suggestive of his tact is the
entire absence of any exaggeIation in
the force of the picture. 1t is great

Sweden at the Fair.

Efforts are being made by influential
men in Sweden to induce the govern
ment to make liberal appropriation
for Swedish display at the st. Louis
exposition. At a meeting in Stock
holm last week, attended by prominent
merchants and members of the riks-
dag, w. w. Thomas, the United
State minister, urged that a liberal
policy be pursued so that the country's
display would be a creditable one.
Bishop Won Scheele, who has made
two extended visits to America; Count
Hamilton, Baron Carl G. Bonde, Pro-
lessor Hjarne and Professor Bystrom
followed in a similar strain. 1t is be-
lieved that the effect of this enthusiast
tic meeting will be to stimulate the
government to ask for a liberal appro-
priation.

Weymouth, Eng, April 1S.-The
Shamrock III, while preparing to race
yesterday morning had everything
above deck carried away by squat
which struck her off this port. The
Shamrock's mast fell over her side,
carrying with it all her sails and rig
ging.
Sir Thomas Upton was knocked
down a hatchway and badly bruised.
He had a narrow escape from more
serious injury. Sir Thomas was
standing on deck with his guests and
member of the crew, Mr.. Collier.
was handing him a binocular glass,
when the mast and rigging fell. Mr..
Collier was swept overheard ana
drowned. Sir Thomas was slightly
injured by his fall, and several Other
guests were scratched by the flying
debris.
The hull OF the Shamrock III was
not damaged. The mast, when it
went overheard, went solid. There
was at that time only one break, which
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1903-04-23

, was about seven feet above the deck.
AS the big spar with it's weight of
canvas became heavier, owing to the
water in it, the mast again buckled,
it's head going down till it rested on
the bottom. 1t is believed it will be
comparatively easy to repair the mast,
but a whole suit of canvas is irretriev-
ably ruined.
Sir Thomas Upton says he will
fulfill mis- engagements off Sandy Hook
Aug. 20.
During the work of raising the mast,
it buckled again, owing to weight OF
canvas, making three distance break
ages. @The Challenger was finally
cleared of the wreckage and towed in
to the harbor
The news of the accident was tele-
graphed King Edward at Valetta, ISL
and of Malta, and Sir Thomas after
wards received message of sym
patty from the king.
