This mixture they boil over quick fire, and they serve it hot

Tn report to the state department Louis H Ayme, the American consul at Para, Brazil, after trip up the Amazon river to inspect the agency there and to gain some information as to the com- mercial and other conditions, says that person hardly can make a. bare living on the banks of the Amazon. T do not say that the acquisition of fortune or a competence is difficult, doubtful or inn possible says Mr. Ayme, "but thatsuch miserable existence as would disgust a Digger Indian would be hardly obtaina- ble by one man in 10000 of such as are thinking of coming here" The consul says there is very little grazing land and that little is held entirely by private owners.
 MT.

The consul says there are near the Amazon some of the most beautiful and valuable woods in the world, as we'll as fruits, nuts, oils, balsams and gums, but they are found as rarely as diamonds in the gravel MT.

Death of "Martha Laimbeer''
 Partially Cleared Up.
SHE WAS MISS MARGARET LYNCH.
Daughter of Wealthy Brooklyn Con- tractor-Body Found Last April In Long Island Vi11nge-PoIice
 Looking For 70. M.''


 MINEOLA, N. Y, Sept 20. - The name of the woman whose death at Freeport some months ago has been a mystery and who was buried under the name of Martha Laimbeer, which was given in note to the coroner's physician inclosing $100 for burial ex- penses, was not Laimbeer, but Marga- ret Lynch.
 She was the daughter of wealthy contractor named Lynch, living in Brooklyn The father does not know that his daughter is dead, but supposes she is away on trip. Her other rela- tives are her mother, two sisters and 2 brother The mother knows of her daughters death, and at least one oth- CT member of the family is said to have viewed the body at the morgue i'll Freeport.
 The name of a man supposed to know something about Miss Lynch's death whom the authorities have been watching for some time, but who is said to be absent from Brooklyn now, is Oswa1d Maune, who is wealthy and well known in the Knights of Colum- bus.
 Maune, his wife and woman SUD- posed at the time to be his niece, were at the Woodclift inn at Freeport in July and August, 1903.
 There was in the Maternity hospital in Brooklyn a short time before Mar garet Lynch was found dead woman who went by the name of Margaret Lawrence She is believed by the au- thorities to have been Margaret Lynch. She left the hospital before being confined. The date of her de parture was ten days before the wo- man was found dead near the Green field cemetery, and close to the road from Hampstead to Freeport.
 There was found beside the body a fountain pen marked 70. M"
 District Attorney Nieman, while not wishing to go further into details, says that the foregoing statements are facts, but that there is nothing to show that the woman was murdered. He de clares no criminal act by any one has yet been proved.
 A reporter went to 344 Vernon ave uu0, bFOOAIyu, IAC HOLnS VI U' N Lynch, last night. It was said that Margaret Lynch lived there, but when the question was asked, "Is she alive or dead ?" no answer was returned, and further information was refused. No. 269 Vernon avenue is the home of Oswald Maune. There it was said that he was not at home A woman who answered the bell said she knew Margaret Lynch and when asked as tc her whereabouts said she had not seen her for some time. She would not an swer questions.
 Maune and his family and Miss Lynch and her family were prominent in St. Johns Roman Catholic church The sexton, Cornelius Sullivan, prac tically admitted that he knew Marga ret Lynch was dead.

READY FOR LAUNCHING.
The Connecticut Painted Red No
 Label on the Wine.

Rear Admiral Frederick Rodgers. commandant at the New York navy yard, who is making arrangements for the launching of the Connecticut, has disappointed the agents or every wine house in New York by refusing to ac- cept offers of bottles of wine for the launching. The bottle has already been bought and the label washed off and no one except the commandant knows what kind it is.
 Naval Constructor William J. Bax- ter will put in the next ten days drill- ing the men who will work around the ship at the time of the launching. There is always more or less chance that a boat will decline to slide, so these are anxious days for the con- structor. All the scaffolding around the hull has now been taken away and the boat has been painted red for the occasion.
 At 9 o'clock on the day of the launching Maya Constructor Baxter will take his place on the construc- tors bridge. Only few of the work men will be on the boat. Two hun dred men will begin to drive in the wedges which will lift the great mass of steel from its supports, and when that is completed other men will saw the sliding ways, which are now firm ly bolted to the other ways. At II o'clock Miss Alice B. Wells will break the bottle of wine against the bow and the great battleship will slide into the water.
 Ready to grab the Connecticut al- most as soon as she strikes the water and take her to her moorings will be powerful tugs. to prevent any acci- dent and to keep the course clear, the police boats, revenue cutters and yard launches will patrol the water to keep all other boats away.
 If 1t is a pleasant day the naval off, cers expect 30OOO persons in the yard. Admission will be by ticket only, but 5000 workmen will have tickets for their families and other applications by the score are coming in every day. Besides the stand for the christening party, one small stand has been built for Secretary Morton and about seven l ty-five of his guests. Other invited guests will have place inside fence. One of the best places to see the launching will be the Williamsburg bridge. It is only short distance from the bridge to the yard, and it will take in every detail of the launch | ing .
