The Sunday bullfght, held in a large
place de tero dull ring) outside the
town, was the principal amusement
cannot say much for this sort Of
entertainment. The so called bulls
were wOrnout cows, which deserved
a better fate than to be goaded into
some sort of fury by the dashing plea
doris, who stuck picadilloes into them.
In most cases they had dropped, refus-
ing to move, and the audience became
furious.
At the end the tOreador, especially
imported for the day, came forward to
the presidential box, where we were
sitting, writes a woman correspondent
Of the BoudOir in describing a honey
moon in Guatemala, and after a fiorid
speech, of which understood little, he
handed me, with a profuse bow exc
cUted in true grandee fashion, hand on
heart, the begOred and flower encircled
picadillOes as & memento Of the august
occasion. To refuse to accept them
would have been the greatest insult,
and my husband was obliged to carry
them home for me, much to his dis
gust.
Some Spanish ladies asked me after
ward how 1 felt when the great mata-
dore singled me out fOy this high honor.
When told them that l was rather
annoyed by his drawing the attention
Of the crowd to me in this theatrical
fashion they were furious at my IN
gratefulness and told me it would have
been the day Of their lives, and they
would have had proposals galore.
In the course Of a scrambling eXpe-
dition into the country over rough
mountain roads we were obliged to
camp out on hard powders, with only a
macintosh to keep out the cold. Dur
ing the night 1 was frightened almost
out Of my wits. felt hand tugging

husband, we saw big monkey leaning
down from the branches of a tree
above us pulling away at my hair His
horrible claws had gripped such a lot
that when he finally let so. after be
ing belabored with the stock of n re-
vOlver, he had nearly half Of it in his
hand.
On arriving at a very rough and
ready inn the IandIady set before us
pOached eggs swimming in water plen-
tifully besprinkled with small red ants.
At first tried to pick out these addi-
tons, and, seeing the woman eying
me furiOusly, 1 called her and tried to
tell her in my best Spanish that was
not accustomed to eat ants and that l
wished she had been careful not to let
them drop into the dish.
Her indignation was immense. With
flashing eyes and gesticulating wildly,
she told me in excited language that II
had taken her q long time TO catch
those ants and that it was so good

eggs and tried to encourage me by her

,Sives when the matter Of deep water
scame I'D in connection with contem-
plated naval appropriations Pensa-
sacola had no one in that body to
speak for her interests although New
Orleans was ably represented in the
discussion by Representative Meyer
of that city.
Il VII, however, be gratifying TO
PensscoliRns to know that Pensa-
cola's status IN connection with the
ether Gulf coast and Atlantic harbors
did get into the record The discus
sion occurred during a speech deliv-
cred May 16, by Representative Geo.
. z. Foss, Of Illinois, chairman Of the
naval affairs committee, the house
having under consideration the naval
appropriation bill. In chairman Foss's
speech he submitted the following
figures from the report of the Chief

tive TO the depths of various harbOrs,
existing and projected, on the Allan

CHEAPER RAILROAD FARES

'tOhio has just enacted a law
making 2 Genus a mile the maxi
mum railroad fare. There is a
widespread feeling in Pennsyl-
vania that a similar rate should
be established here, as it already
exists in New York. AS a rule,
the one way fare in this State is
8 cents. If the merchants and
other shippers of Philadelphia
were obliged to pay so per cent.
more freight rate than shippers
in the adjoining States of Ohio
and New York it would be con-
sidered a grievous hardship.
"But Ahe people pay that great
excess in passenger fares, and
very naturally they are now
complaining lit. Moreover,
the practice of charging 2 cents
a mile for return trip ticket is
not adhered to in same conspic-
uous cases by the Philadelphia
railroads. The distance to New
York is ninety miles, but the
round trip fare is "a, which is
considerably greater than a 2
cent rate. The traffic is larger
between these two cities than be-
tween any other two towns on
this continent, so that a cheaper
rather than higher fare might
reasonably be expected.
1.-THE temper of the public is
now disposed to demand a square
deal in everything. In the face
of such a determination the g.
cent fare in Pennsylvania cannot
ngprevail. "-PhiIadelphia Press.

INSURANCE METHODS

IRA dical recommendations
were made at the recent conyic-
ton Of Insurance Commissioners
from many States held in Chi
cago. The deferred dividend
plan in vogue by most of the com
panies was the one subject that
called for most of the unfavor-
able criticism. The commission
ers suggested by a large major
ity that this sort of insurance
should be prohibited in the
States. They suggested that
there be an annual accounting
and provision for apportionment
of the surplus to protect all the
deferred policies now in force.
Policy holders of mutual com
panies, according to the plans OF
the commissioner, are to be given
real district representation in the
management of those companies.
A standard form Of policy for all
States is another recommends
| ton.
"Resolutions mbodying these
views were adopted by a vote Of
twenty-five States against seven,
but the negative votes were be-
cause of doubts concerning minor
recommendations and not against
the principal forms suggested.
''The deferred dividend plan,
i which is now so much used, was
defended by some actuaries while
others supported by several of
the insurance commissioners and
State officials, severely de-
nounced them. Annual divi-
dends paid to the insured or
credited to him seemed to be the
popular plan suggested and many
companies pursue this course. =
