How Don Carlos Enjoys Life.

From the New York Commercial
Don Carlos, who for many years was
the pretender to the throne of Spain,
is familiar figure on the grand canal
of Venice, which he has selected as his
place of exile. His acknowledgements,
adorned with his private fiag-yellow
and red, with the Bourbon cOat-of-arms
on yellow grounds to be seen at all
hours of the day in the watery ways of
Venice.
Tall, majestic and severe in appear
ance, his brown beard carefully parted
on his chin, he sits as still as a statue
in his little boat, his left hand resting
on the side, a dreamy look investing all
his personality as If from every street
and canal and balcony thousands of
painters and photographers were wait
ing to take his picture and send it to
Spain as a precious memento to pos
terity.
He was at the Goldni theatre, oc-
cupying the central box in the second
tier, as becomes royal parsonage,
the night on which the report had
spread that his daughter Alice had
eloped with her coachman Ga report
subsequently denied) and the eyes of
all Venice were upon him. He stood
the staring silent and impressive, as
at the time when Donna Elvira, an
other daughter, eloped from Rome
with the painter, Folchi.
With him was the Princess Marie
Berta de Rohan, pale little figure, in
great contrast to her giant lover. Don
Carlos never addresses her in public
and answers all her queries with mono,
syllables as II to indicate the distance
that separates their respective social
stations.

Wonderful Operation.

Hitherto the employment of anti-toxin
in cases of tetanus has been effected
through the process of trephining. Re-
suits, we believe, have not been very
satisfactory. An experiment in the case
of a Brooklyn boy, has shown that the
serum may be successfully administered
by passing a hollow needle into the spinal
cavity, This operation is great deal
less serious than trephning, and as the
boy is said to have made a complete re-
covery the gain to surgical science may
be considerable 1t is. Of course, too soon
to say whether the new method can be
adopted in all classes of tetanus. The
physician who appears TO have given out
for publication the details connected with
the experiment is cautious and modest in
his statements. That he does not seek
advertisement from the incident shows
that he appreciates fully his obligation to
professional ethics But he has said
enough to indicate that the hospital people
have hit upon something that will create
a stir in the medical world until the value
of it has either been proved or disproved.

YANKEES OF THE SOUTH.
Some Facts About the Republics of
South America.

! From the New York World
Cold winds come from the south and
winter is in July; otherwise the Argen-
tine republic is like Yankeeland.
The Parana, the chief river, is far larg-
err than our Mississippi; its annual flow
of water is double that of the Gauges,
three times that of the st. Lawrence. five
times that of the Nile
Argentina has the longest railway tam
gent tstraight line) in the world 1856
miles. Its wheat plains are like those of
our west. The climate is similar.
Argentinas population grows 40 per
cent in ten years, the United States 20
per cent, Germany 16 per cent. OF the
two millions of immigrants received in
Argentina in forty years more than half
have been Italians.
In 1867 there were but 1856 miles of rail-
way in Argentina; In 1900 there were TO-
COL miles, some II per cent belonging to
the government. Argentina Is ninth
among the nations In railway mileage.
Argentina has 120,000.000 sheep, as
against the 62,00O000 in the United States.
All Argentina suffered from the Barring
crash in 1890, but recovery Is now COM
plete. Imports during 1899 were $l17 600, =
go and exports slS5.00O,0O0 From the
United States came but $1500O,00O of the
imports and only 100000 of exports were
to this country.
Montevideo Is in area the largest city
in the world-three times the size of New
YORK. Buenos Ayres, growing faster
than New York. London or Berlin. is the
biggest city in the world south of Phila-
dephia, except possibly the Chinese cities.
It will reach the million mark In 1906.
Argentina is building one of the finest

BY JOHN MARThoL

New York March 19.-Even the old
est resident remains silent as to the
winters of a past decade, when the
severity of the present winter is mem
toned in conversation. What genuine,
old fashioned winter" may be no one
knows, but if it is anything like the pres
ent one, may the saints preserve us from
more. Everybody is tired to death Of
the cold, the ice, the bleak winds which
penetrate the marrow of the bones. That
1t must have been particularly severe on
the poor. there is no reason to doubt,
nevertheless, it may be well to state in
this connection that there never has been
winter when there has been less suffer-
ing and wretchedness in the city. This
conclusion is reached by the fact that
there has been noticeable absence of
this class of information In the daily
press. During the coal famine last year
columns We're printed concerning destitu-
ton and suffering for lack of fuel. This
year 1t has been different There has been
an abundance of labor this winter and the
pleasant result has been that there has
been less restitution

GRIZZLY BEAR.
Said To Be the Only Really Dangerous
Animal In America.

From the illustrated Sporting News
The grizzly bear is the only animal in
America that is really dangerous We
all know that any animal will fight if
cornered; a bull moose may be ugly and
charge; a black bear will fight for her
cubs. or II wounded but the grizzly,
"OldUncle Ephram," the mountain
men" call him, is always ugly and ready
for a fight. SO well is the fact recog-
nized that very seldom do any of the old
timers take a chance unless everything
is in their favor Their immense size,
coupled with their ugly disposition
makes them inded very dangerous
There are many cases on record OF griz-
lilies weighing 500 pounds. ! have never
seen one that weighed actually that much
but have seen several that weighed over
LOO pounds, and heye seen skins that
were much lager than any ! have killed;
so do not doubt the statement that they
grew to weigh 15OO pounds.
The most common methods of killing
grizzlies are to watch a bait at night or
to trap them, either with a large steel
trap or a long pen with a falling door
made of heavy timber The steel trap is

Novel Suit Filed.

A novel suit has been brought in this
city. The plaintiff, one Ignazio Valente,
sues the city for $3.50, this sum having
been paid by him for the burial of a wo-
man he believed to be his deceased wife.
He came to this belief through the per-
suasive elouuence of an attendant at the
morgue He has made out a good case. 1t
seems that Valente quarrelled with his
wife Concetta and she left him. When
she did not return in a few days Valente
set out to seek her. He gave a descrip-
ton Of her to the police. and three days
later he was informed that a body at the
morgue answered the description of his
wife. Valente went to the morgue. The
clothing shown to him, he says, was IKE
that of his wife, but he wasn't certain
about the identity of the body. The face
resembled Concetta's, but 1t was better
looking. That's all right" Valente says
an attendant at the morgue told him;
I'VE fix up bodies here so that they al
WAYS look better after death than they do
in life" After that he took the body
hired an undertaken to carry it to his
home and had an elaborate funeral. The
body was put In a white silk dress, worth
all of SIS, in which his wife had been mar
ried. and he didn't spare expense a bit.
While he was still mourning, Mrs. Val
ente alive and repentant, turned up. The
papers in the case do not attempt to de-
scribe the bereaved husbands feelings.
but they do say that when Mrs Valente
heard that her wedding dress had been
used to bury strange woman in she in
sisted that her husband should have a du-
plcate of the dress made for her It's
cost is one Of the items in Yalente's claim
against the city He says it was the fault
of the morgue attendant that he took
home unto himself strange dead woman
and the city. being responsible for the at
tendant's persuasive statements, ought to
pay for the mistake.
