Local Pleasure Craft.

That there is great love for aquatics
in this city is shown by the large number
of pleasure craft of all description that are
owned by residents of Washington and
used for pleasure purposes on the river.
Most of these boats are owned by persons
of moderate means, and. with one or two
exceptions. they are all small craft, but in
them their owners find much pleasure dur
ing the boating season, which extends from
about May 1 until October or later. Every
Saturday evening the little craft, many
equipped with gasoline power engines, and
others depending solely on sails for their
motive power with parties of pleasure
seekers aboard sail away to spend the
time until Sunday morning on the river.
and those that do not leave Saturday get
away early Sunday morning. so that the
harbor looks deserted Sunday. 1t is esti-
mated that fully $50 pleasure craft are
owned in this city. Standing on the Sth
street wharf yesterday twenty-seven small
boats could be counted at anchor In the
stream.

one more than President Diaz realizes the
stiil further great expansion that is certain
to come within the next few years. He re-
ailzes also the Importance of having as
representative Of his country at our national
capital the ablest man for the office
Diaz and Mexico! Mexico and Diaz! Two
words thoroughly suggestive of each other
and synonymous! In fact. they are SO
closely related that one cannot well be men,
toned without the other. Diaz has given
his entire life to the development of Mex
leo. and without him no one would be so
rash as to predict what would have become
of that country with such great possibilities,
but which would have been largely dissi-
pated, except for the guiding hand of the
great general.
Personal Choice Of Diaz.
One of President Diazs many gifts is his
ability to see an opportunity and to select
the best man to develop that opportunity.
This gift he has demonstrated in a striking
manner times without number. Himself a
daring soldier and able general. he realized
many years ago the menace to the country
of the large number of bandits that infested
Mexico. Acting with his characteristic sa-
gacity, he made soldiers of them and devel-
oped the military system of Mexico, which
for many years has been a highly important
feature Of the Diaz administration Don
Porfirio DiaZ is no more a man of war than
he Is man of peace, however. The great
the value of peace both in domestic and
foreign relations.
The same degree of sagacity, to which ref
erence has already been made. has been
displayed by President Diaz in the selection
of every man appointed to a position of
trust under the Mexican government. For
instance, a glance at the personnel of his
cabinet will show that every member will
compare very favorably indeed with men
holding similar positions in President
Roosevelt'S cabinet. Or In the Official fam lies
of the leading rulers of Europe. Where can
a greater financier be found than Senior Don
Jose Limantour. minister of finance In
the Diaz cabinet. or more able secretary
of state than Senior Don Ignacio Mariscal,
minister of foreign relations in the same
official family.
little more than year ago the impor-
tant question arose of having a vice presi-
dent for Mexico. A half dozen or more
names were mentioned. all able men. but
Diaz selected Senior Don Ramon Corral, un-
doubtedly the best man for the place.

SAMMY FELL FROM GRACE.
Gould Not Resist Temptation When I,
Came His WAY.

Little Sammy Boden fell from grace Fri
DAY night was unable to stand prosperity
and got SO sick that 1t almost became nee
essary to send for physician. Sammy is
thirteen years old and colored and his
home is at 1903 18th street northwest, with
his aunt. Hearing a servant was wanted
at the home of Mrs. Maud Hopkins the
small boy impaired the information to his
aunt and escorted her to the house. There
was handbag on the porch near where
Mrs. Hopkins was seated and she neg
iected to pick it UP when she went to talk
to the colored woman. Sammy was more
thoughtful, and took the handbag away
with him. Putting into his pocket the cash
| he found in the bag. about 81, he took a
watch from the bag and presented it to
his aunt.
Il found the watch on the grass" he told
his aunt, ''and 1 want you to have it,"
He said nothing to her about the money
or several pieces of jewelry he found in
the bag. but went out to spend the cash
and get rid of the jewelry. Throwing the
bag and jewelry into the sewer at 10th and
II streets northwest, the boy went off to
have a good time. He had SO much money
that he was hardly able to count it. To
him the dollar was small fortune. and Ne
was unable to find the ice cream sandwich
man and the man who calls CRABS until
the late hours of the night until some time
after he had became wealthy. He found
them all right and showed the effects of
the combination yesterday when Detectives
Muller and Cornwell arrested him.
Deed l don't know nothin' bout no
money" the boy said.
He afterward admitted that he had had
the watch, and claimed that he had found
it on the parking. 1t was not until he had
been in custody several hours that he ad-
mitted the taking of the bag, and told of
where he had thrown it. Then the sewer
department was appealed to- and the de-
tectives looked on while the laborers fished
In the mud for the bag Their efforts were
rewarded in a short time, and the washing
out process was resorted to by the detec-
tives. With all the property recovered
with the exception of the money the de-
tectiyes felt that they had been rewarded
for their trouble. Sammy will be tried in
the Police Court tomorrow, and he says
he will never do wrong again.

however. his sister was aroused by 9

thought there was some one at the
