GREEN VEGETABLES
HERE FROM FLORIDA
Improved Railway Facilities Bring
Them to Washington at Mod

While the evidences of spring are
slight At present In Washington, q
glance at Center Market makes one
think summer is here. Green string
beans. green peas, eucumhers, egg plant.
white squash, beets, new cabbage, okra,
radishes, and turnips are on all stalls
that deal in fresh vegetables.
They are all from Florida said one
of the stallkeepers today, and are not
as costly as one might think For in
stance, good strawberries may be had
for not more than % cents a large
basket Beans and peas are only Is cents

SPRING BIRDS FEAST
ON THE ANGLEWORM
Millions of Them Crawl to Surface During Last Nights
Storm and Strew Walks About Parks-Nulsance
TO Pedestrians.

Hundreds of thousands Of angleworms
made wSlking difficult along sidewalks
adjacent to Washington parks this
morning. They also made life extremely
pleasant for the sparrow population,
thousands of the birds having gorged
themselves to the point where they
could hardly fly. The feathered citizens
sat on iow branches of the trees swollen
with the first full meal after a hard
winter dreaming, and figuratively speak
ing, picked their teeth.
hungry robins and other early winged
visitors from the South dined to their
hearts content and decided mot to go
on North just yet.
Small boys. and some big ones, out
early, gathered bait enough for a dozen
fishing excursions and the sidewalks
after the pedestrians slid and slipped
over them reserabled the floors Of a
hash factory.
The long, red angleworm, enlivened
by last nights rain, caused all. the ex-
element For two weeks a few have
been appearing, crawling out Of the
park mould to warm themselves on the
pavement Vast armies of them had
dug their way up. to the surface, and
when the heavy storm struck the city
last night death came to almost all of
them. The torrents of rain washed them
out on the sidewalks, where it later
pounded them to death.

SMALLPOX PATIENTS
PROGRESS FAVORABLY
No New Cases of the Dreaded Disease
Reported at the Health
Department.

No new cases OF smallpox were report
ed to the Health Department this morn
ing, and the three nurses from the
George Washington University Hospital,
who are under treatment fer the disease
in the pest house, were reported pro-
crossing favorably In the detention
camp Eighteenth and ID streets south
east, where six other nurses from the
George Washington University Hospital
are confined and under observation, even
more encouraging conditions prevail, for
the nurses are slowly recovering from
their fright, and even those in whom
premonitory symptoms seemed in evil
dence few days ago have recovered
their normal tone. The authorities are
convinced that there will be no further
spread of the epidemic.
The pupil nurses who make up the lit
tie band of prisoners at the detention
camp are as jolly as though they were
on protracted picnic They are al
lowed to move short distance from
their respective houses. and enjoy strolls
in the sunshine and an unobstructed
view of the river. Miss Elizabeth Har-
Zard and Miss Mary Chase are the only
ones who are not permitted TO join in
the detention camp on Thursday, and
are still confined in a room.
William Fleming and wife, who guard
the premises from unwilling intruders,
have been confined with a succession OF
smallpox suspects for months, never go
ing beyond the high wire fence Elem
ing, who holds commission "a special
policeman, said that he and his wife
had been subjected to danger of con-
tagion scores of times, but their vac
cinations seemed to render them inn

kinds. as well as papers and magazines
are carried to the fence. and Fleming

RAISE VOICES AGAINST
RELIGIOUS TEACHING
Members of Birth Abraham Lodge See
in Proposition Menace to
Safety of Republic.

Resolutions against the introduction
of religious instruction in the public
schools Of the District were adopted
ut the last meeting of the Independent
Order Of Birth Abraham District Lodge,
No. 222
The resolutions declare that such
teachings are at variance with the spirit
Of the Constitution; that they will in
evitably bring out conflict and foster
religious bigotrI and that 1t will not
be possible TO 3 1D1t any standard for
such instruction a .aeptable TO all the
denominations.
In conclusion the resolutions say:
1--WE hold religion to be philosophy,
and as such children of the age usual
attending public school are not ready
and mature to imbibe its doctrines. and
instead of q better generation that this
measure is intended to help develop. we
will cultivate bigoted and fanasical
race Of partisans, that must ultimately
cause the overthrow of this Republic and
establish the old and benevolent sway
of Middle Age inquisitors."

How the Stomach and Kidneys
Depend on the Inside Nerves

Every day medical science becomes more
siraple-and more certain. Simplicity and
certainty go hand IN hand. For science has
learned that while there many diseases.
yet there are but few real causes of dis
ease. That is, there are many names by
which we know aches and pains and disor
ders But most Of these ailments spring from
a common cause.
For instance. indigestion, sour stomach.

Thus far, these plans are only tenta-

Department today. between the Hon. A

Senior Gamboa, acting charge d'affaires
of the embassy, and Colonel Michael,

Senior Gamboa said that no tidings had
yet been received from President Diaz

Pending the receipt of advices no definite
ARRANGEMENTS can be made
Senior Gamboa- has also been in consul
tation with Mr.. Adee, Major McCauley,
o. the White House. and Count Cassini,
OF the Diplomatic Corps, regarding the
arrangements for the funeral of the
ambassador in case the services are
held in this city. 1t is probable that
the funeral will follow the precedents
observed in the case of the funeral of
the former Mexican Minister Romero

All the high officials of this and the
foreign governments will be represented
at the services if they are conducted
here.
According to present plans there will
be a state funeral in Washington. to
be held probably in ST. Matthew
Church, with all diplomatic pomp. The
body will lie in state at the embassy.

will be conducted.
The plan for sending the body home
by sea instead Of by land is favored
because in this way the difficulties of a
long overland trip to Mexico can be
obyiated.s

extreme difficulty with which the ar
rangements were made for the trip OF

Last Official Act.


Senior de Azpiroz's last official act
vas performed or Monday. when he
signed treaty with the United States
concerning the boundary line between
the two countries. The treaty had been
prepared and was at the State Depart
ment ready for the signatures of the
Secretary of State and the Mexican am
bassador. but the latter was unable to
leave his bed.
Accordingly q secretary of the en-
bassy took the document to the bedside,
where, propped up by pillows, the aged
diplomat took his pen and wrote his
name for the last time officially,
His Three Decorations.
On state occasions Senior de Approx
wore three decorations. all presented to
him by foreign monarchs IN recognition
of his diplomacy and ability as a states
man and his services as soldier. He
had the rank of commander in the Mill
tary Order of Jesus Christ, of Portugal
and another honor was conferred on him
in 1902 by the Shah of Persia. Mexico
and Persia negotiated a treaty at that
time. and Sencr AZpiroZ, then in Wash
ington. represented Mexico.
The Shah was we'll pleased with the
treaty. and as a token presented to the
arnba ssador the decoration of the second
class Of the Order of the Lion and the
rising sun. only q few weeks ago the
Dowa ger Empress of China decorated
Senior Azpiroz with the insignia of the
Order of the Dragon in appreciation OF
his efforts in making a treaty of amfty
and friendship between Mexico ano
China
