NEW TREATY RATIFIED.
Convention with Hayti Marks Dis
tinct Advance-Provision Re-
garding Naturalization.

Washington, March 21-Secretary
Hay and Mr.. Leger, the Haytian min
lister, Saturday exchanged ratifica-
lions of the Haytian naturalization
treaty which will become almost i'm
mesiately effective. The new treaty
marks distinct advance in such con-
ventions because it contains clause
prescribing definitely that a natural
lied citizen who returns to the coun-
try of his nativity and remains there
continuously for more than two years
may be regarded as having abandoned
the citizenship he acquired by nat
uralization. A great part of the cor
respondence of the state department
with European powers is said to be
caused by the omission of some such
provision as this from the naturaliza-
ton treaties

Desperate Burglars.

After beating and choking her al

masked burglars. who ransacked the
house and piled up valuables in little
heaps all over the first floor rooms,

Is No Day,


In the eyes of the Minnesota state tax
law legal holiday is no day at all, az
cording to a ruling made by Judge
Cray.
The court in its decision holds that
the time for redemption cannot expire
on legal holiday, and that property
owner who offers to redeem on the six
ty-frst day of the redemption period,
when the sixtieth day falls on legal
holiday, is entitled to settlement and
can become the legal owner of the pro-
perty.
The decision was rendered in the
case of C. w. Case against Marcus p.
Hobart and others, and the point talk
en- is that the law provides for Sundays
but not for holidays. In the case in
question notice of redemption was
served by the plaintiff and the sixtieth
day fell upon Sept. 7, Labor day. The
Ramsey county auditor held that the
plaintiff had right to redeem on the
following day and acted accordingly
and was upheld by the court.

CAREER OF THE
 NEW GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA.

There was a man elected to the gov ernorship down in or state whose rise in life was surely as romantic as any thing they put in fcrion." said Judge ". B. Lamar, the Florida congressman.
 The name Of our executive elect is Napoleon BonaP1rte Broward, whose victory in the primaries over such strong and exceedingly popular man as Congressman Bob Davis was hardly thought possible at the outset of the campaign.
 "The successful man owes his rise in fife to his own merits solely. As a boy he worked on steamboat for an uncle first as a cook and later as assistant fireman. He says himself that he vas not a success as a cook. Later he went into the fishing business off Cape Cod and the banks of Newfoundland alter hating with service on f-eighting ves- sels. oyster boats, and like maritime employment Finally he went back to h,s native country, and was employ ed on various steamers that piled the St. Johns river.
 "An episode that won Capt. Brow ard wide repute was his course as commander of the steam tug Three Brothers. which. juss prior to the war with Srain, repeatedly defed the au- thorities of Spain and the United States by transporting arms and supplies to the Cutan patriots. He is not, in spite of his adventurous life, anythiu. of the common type of adventurer. On the contrary he has repeatedly been honored by his neighbors with public office, serving often as sheriff of his county-Duval county-and afterwari as a member of the legislature -

The Iibetans have numberless strange myths, and, the most curious, pertaining to the sun, moon and stars. The sun is believed to be an immense ball of yak-meat and fat, whercon the spirits of departed ancestors are sup posed to feast, the light being caused by its heated condition. The stars are portions of this immense feast which
 dropping to earth, give birth to ani- mals for the sustenance of sufficient humanity. The moon is a lesser ball of similar texture as the sun, in use while the larger one is being replen- ished for the morrow. When sun or moon fails to appear in cloudy days and nights it means that the deities

SLOW TRAINS OF SPAIN

Trains in Spain are certainly slow. A rate of ten or twelve miles an hour is considered good average speed for everyday travellers. When the Spanish officials wish to show visiting foreign CTS what they really can accomplish in the way of rapidfty. they offer express trains which dash madly across the landscape at an average rate of fifteen or eighteen miles an hour. In one way this proves an advantage, for the tra- veler sees a great deal more scenery for his money than if he were rushed passed it swiftly.-London Tit Bits.
