burg Tuesday and discussed the matter

preston on the matter from the various

BLACKMAILED THEM
Venezuelan Officials Accused
 by Asphalt Company.
WANTED FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
Corporation Had to Safeguard It. self and Property By Paying the Rebel Leader, Matos, sum
 of Sf3O,OOO.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13. = Allegations that high officials in the Venezuelan government have deliberately attempt ed to extort money from the company the sum of $400,000-are made in a statement given out by the Bermudez Asphalt company in reference to the suit brought by the Venezuelan govern ment for $1l,OO0,O00 damages for aid Ing in the Mates rebellion.
 The means used by these officials, according to the allegation, included blackmail, confscation of the com pany's property, the manufacture of false testimony and the making of de crees without regard to law. The al legations made in the statement are based upon letters which, it is declar- ed, were received from A. H. Garner, now receiver holding the company's property for the Venezuelan govern ment, but who in 1900 was the com pany's agent at Caracas. and the report of Colonel Victor NJ. Backus, who was sent to Venezuela in 1900 as an inde- pendent agent by the asphalt com pany.
 The statment concludes with an ex- haustiye review of what it describes as ''the asphalt company's actual rela- lions to the revolution" In this con nection 1t is explained that s100000 was given to General Mates by the of- ficials of the National Asphalt com pany on the generals request Fur ther sums, aggregating S30,000, were paid the revolutionary leader soon aft erward.
 Money was paid for the protection of the compaDy's property during the con tinuance of the revolution and for the protection of it's just rights thereafter in case the revolution succeeded and without any understanding or obliga- tion with respect to its use. During the entire continuance of the revolu- ton the company and. so far as it is advised. all it's agents in Venezuela, as they were instructed to do, maintained absolute neutrality.
 The company was threatened with certain destruction of its rights by General Castro and those conspiring with him for it's spoilation The officers of the National Asphalt company therefore decided to give to General Mates the amount which he asked.

FRITZI sCHEFF.

Fritzi Scheff, who will be seen in Mile M0diste' at Polls Wednesday evening, was born in an atmosphere of music. She first opened her young eyes upon a mother who was a noted singer in Vienna. Her father has de clared that even her baby cries were melodious. but there are no affidayits of neighbors extant to verify this as serti0n. When she was five years of age she became member of church choir. It is not given to every oper- attic star of Miss Scheff's effulgence to enjoy the unanimous ind6rsement of her chorus as well as of her public. But the human side of the prima donna is very marked, as is shown al- most daily by her acts of friendly sympathy. tender regard and constant thought and consideration for her friends and such as are privileged to come into contact with her.

The important duty of selecting prOpitious day

used by many Japanese to designate the days of the
week. as we'll as the years The signs are: the Rat;
the Ok; the Tiger; the Rabbit; the Dragon; the
Serpent; the Horse the Monkey; the Bird; the Dog;
the Boar
Some of these being of lucky significance are con-
sidered propitious for marriages, while others
the reverse. The MOnkey-Day is especially to be
avoided not only account of the mischievous
character of monkeys but chiefly because the Jap
ancse word for monkey IS sdrH, which means separ-
alton The Day of the Tiger is also regarded with
disfavor, the tiger, being of the cat family is
said return to its home if carried thousand
miles away from it. This IS all right in a tiger of
course, but for a bride to return to her fathers
house after having left it for her husbands is not
even to be suggested on the wedding day. Indeed
the parents and family so afraid of the disgrace
of divorce that they hasten to sweep out the
front hall and doorstep when the bride leaves, to
make she will not return. The ON-Day is also
tabooed the is a strong beast, and the wife

his visit the young takes the part of waitress

bow, without once, apparently raising her eyes,
and withdraws Her fate is settled by the glance
which the guest flashes in her direction.
After this if the impression both sides was

family and mutual gifts of silk sashes follow, which
