Why Not See Mexico.

Forty-eight hours of travel will take
you from the cold clustering Northern
winter to land of sunshine and flowers
What Egypt and India are to the old
world, Mexico is to the new. "a land
of white sunshine, redolent with towers
land of gay costumes, crumbling
churches, and old converts, a land Of
kindly greetings, of extreme courtesy,
of open, broad hospitality. 1t was
more than enough to reveal in an
italian sun, lighting up seni-tropical
land; to look up to white-capped peaks
towering into blue; to look down upon
wind-swept plains, encircled by ragged
chains of mountains; and to relize that
today, in its varied scenery, costumes
architecture, street life, canals crowd
ed with flowerladen boats, market
places thronged with gaily dressed
natives, faded church interiors, and
abaneoned converts, Mexico is the most
marvelously picturesque country nnder
the sun. A tropical Venice; A semi
barbarous Spain; A new Holy Land"

Fishing Industry statistics.

Japan is the leading fishing nation
to-day, although the value of her sec
products is surpassed by that of two
other countries. The United States.
outside of Alaska, and Great Britain
each produce about $45,oo0.0o0 worth
annually. and Japan produces about
s3o.0o0.oo0 worth. Japan leads in the
proportion of the total population en-
gagged in the fishing industry, in the
actual number Of people living by the
industry. in the relative importance
OF fish products in the courtry's do
mestic economy. and in the support
given by the government to the In

WALLS ENTIRELY OF FOSSILS.
Unique Building Material in Church
Near Niagara Falls.

There is a church in the quiet lit
tie village of Mumford. near Niagara
Falls. which is composed entirely OF
fossils. At first glance the walls ap-
rear to be constructed of rough sand
stone .mesred with an uneven coat
ing Of gritty. coarse plaster. but a
closer view reveals the error OF this
first conclusion. Instead of plaster
the eyes behold traceries OF delicate
leaves. lacework of interviewer twigs,
bits of broken branches. fragments Of
mossy bark and splinters Of wood. all
preserved against the wasting OF time
and decay by being turned into the
hardest of finty limestone. As . mat.
ter of fact, every block of stone in
the four walls is q closely
mass Of dainty fossils.

A TYPICAL SOUTHERN HOUSE
Either Rambling Bungalow or Mod.
ern Frame Structure.


Externally the typical southern
house of the present is either ram
bling bungalow like Witchwood-one
of the most attractive places near
Asheville-an Itaiianesque structure
with white columns, reproduction in
part of some old antebellum man
sions. for the like of which the south
was famous-or modern frame
structure quite architectural and COM
pact, with loaded windows, half-tim-
ber borders, and an open terrace built
upon foundation of gray stone with
coping of the same. or modification
of these three ideas.
In its interior arrangement, says a
writer in, the House Beautiful. the
southern residence has always been
called upon to meet not only the de-
mands of convenience and comfort,
but also those of hospitality and en-
tertainment ss well. for the south
erner is decidedly social being,
given to entertainment in all its
forms. This characteristic was not
only gratified, but actually fcstered
by the big rooms of the white col
umned houses of the old south.
Soon after the war the populariza-
ton of the sliding door made it pos
sible for small rooms to perform the
functions of large ones on occasions,
and for a while the southern builder
cut his house up after the manner OF
his northern brother. though not
quite in the same restricted proper.
tions. That phase may now be said
to have passed, and general taste in
the south is once more in favor OF
spacious chambers. So genuine is
this preference, that even in small
houses the space usually divided be-
tween two rooms is now given to
one. Usually the room thus formed
is a long one, a sort Of salon.

n I MIGHT Sino.

II I might sing for you as waters sing
In gushing melodies, or as the birds
Whose rapture scars on free. unfettered

II from my life might spring
one song untrammeled OF the net OF
words:
Then might ! praise you as my heart
would praise:
Nor grieve though song should leave me
dumb through afterdays.
The singing stars would tarry into flight
To hoarken, dreaming that deaths an

And earth new winged with singing and

As when cxultant she from out OF chaos

THE Russo.JAPAN WAR.

BERLIN. Feb. cial
news reaches here this afterppon that
the emperor Of Russia has elected to
continue the war. Nicholas, while for
peace. has decided that yielding
would show fatal weakness on the
part of the Russian government. Ills
present position is admirably firm.
and the German court has been au-
vised in that sense.
The Russian emperor believes that
kuropatkin can defeat Oyama and
holds that compromise now would
be fatal.
Those who advise peace and sug-
gest an inquiry for Japan ,se terms.
which include both the French and
English governments, are silent to-
day. II Is announced here that the
cars view sare as follows: Report

not possibly defeat Kuropatkin. but
stands In fair danger of defeat him
self 1t would be cowardly, there
fore for Russia to ask for mercy,

near at hand. Second, 1t would be
betrayal of the country. for II Russia
made peace with her enemy. while
capable OF winning victory. there
would then be just grounds for rev.
olution.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. Ga
While 1t is given out today that peace
measures are not only held in abey-

ASSISTING iLLlTERATE VOTERS.

A vitality important difference be-
tween Republican and Democratic
methods in the conduct OF the late
elections IL disclosed by the evidence
In regard to the manner In which H.
Ing out their ballots.
In many precincts in this city Dem
ocrats asked for assistance from the
Judges or the request was made for
them by the men who herded them
to the polls. The law says that In
all such cases the person offering to
vote must make affidavit that he Is
unable to read and write the English
language and that for this reason he
desires assistance. But In practically
avery case In which assistance was
requested In this city no such afii-
davit was required. It was not. even
stated tnat the voter was unable to
read and write English. The simple
declaration was made that he desired
assistance.
1t Is evident that Where no afildavit
was required abundant room was
opened for fraud. The law was ig-
nored, and 1t was knowingly and will
fully ignored The presumption Is
justified that In n large percentage
of the cases In which assistance was
requested the voter was either q re-
peater or one who had sold his vote.
The assistance Of the Judge was re-
Qured to make sure that he voted
he way the agents OF the Democratic
| machine wanted MIN to vote.
In contrast with this stands the
evidence In regard to Huerfano coun-
~. where in every instance applicants
for assistance were required to make
affidavit that they were unable to read
and write the English language. The
ballots shown in that county to have
been written In the same hand were
thus vindicsted by the accompanying
aGidavits proving that legal voters
applied and that the law was COM
piled with In every particular.
| The stamp of legality is upon the
ballots written by one hand In Huer-
fano county. The stamp Of fraud
and lllegality is on those cast In this
county and In all the other counties
examined In which the Democrats
were in official control OF the cleo
iion.-Denver Republican.
