When Keith Bryton went to Mexico to look
up some mining property. he came upon a
strange hill tribe Of Indians.
And after he had been struck down and
well-used up, as he said. he was saved and
nursed back to life by lovely Mexican srl
whose name he did not learn.
Nor did he see her again until after she had
married Rafael de Arteaga, the worthless scion
Of noble race. Here is the situation at the
beginning Of this fascinating romance Of Old
California. and here are the principal characters.
Perhaps you will think that the happiness Of
Bryton and the girl he loved so reverently are
worth far more than the soul Of Rafael, but
they did not think so, and that is what makes
the story.
And it is splendid story, of the kind that
charms without the least effort, because Of its
inherent strength and sincerity.
The outward appearance Of the book is
worthy Of its contents. 1t is not possible to
adequately describe it here, but nothing more
original or beautiful will be found among this
years novels.

NEW YORK, May 17.-According to
the coroner, Peter Acrtelli, lawlessness
has reigned for months in the excava-
tion which the O'Rourke Construction
company is making for the new Grand
Central station and the Italian govern
ment has demanded an investigation
The coroner yesterday caused the
arrest of John Eldredge, general super
intendent of the O'Rourke company,
and held him in $1,000 bail on a charge
of homicide, following the death of
Angelo Bemesi, an Italian workman
He issued spbpoenas for the president

forenen.
There has been an average of two

For two weeks have been investi-

1t seems that an Italian did not know

and killed an Irishman.
Ever since then lodges of rock have
had way of falling upon Italians.

the Italians do the laborers' work ]

LOW DEATH RATE IN PANAMA.
Not q Death Occurred Among the 5000
Americans I'm Three Months.


WASHINGTON, Nov. Occurring the three
months ended with October there was
not a single death from disease among the
5000 Americans, including women and
children, in Panama, and Col William c.
Gorgas, head of the sanitary department.
Of he canal administration, points to the
fact as quite remarkable and as showing
that conditions in Panama are not untavor-
able TO Americans. Col. Gorgas compares
the record with the statistics for New York
for last year, but he does not mean to argue
that a man could live forever in Panama
Just because there nave been no deaths
from disease in the last three months, while
there were twenty thousand in New York.
In making the report Col. Gorgas says:
"Of our 5000 Americans, including women
and children, none died Of disease. 1t is
rather a remarkable fact that among these
COCO a death from disease has not occurred
in the past three months. Take 5000 people
in New York city, selected at random. and
estimating their death rate on what occurred
in New York city last year they would
have about thirty deaths from disease.
Of course this is more or less accidental,
but l think it pretty good proof that the
conditions are not 80 u~nfavorable TO Ameri-
cans when IL Is possible Tor a DOuy OF O,UO0
people, including some 1900 women and
children, 20 spend three months without a
single death from disease. / do not by
any means argue that because the death
rats in New York city is about twenty per
thousand that a man can live fifty years
in New York city and that because the
death rate for the same class of people
on the canal for three months was none per
thousand that therefore if that same man
moved to the Isthmus he could live forever.
/ do not argue that in the Rio Grande reser-
voir we have found Ponce de Icons spring
Of perpetual life, but merely that Panama
is not 80 bad a place from a health point
Of view as is generally believed"
The whole population of the Canal Zone
! suffered a loss by death of 302 persons
during the month of October, a decrease OF
~ from the figures for September. This IL
due mostly TO the falling of of deaths from
pneumonia. Among the employees OF the
Canal Commission there were 20 deaths
during October, IA against 1876 in September,
a decrease, therefore, of 80. There were 80
deaths from pneumonia during September
and only "a la October, a decrease OF %.
There was a material difference between
the deaths from disease of blacks and whites.
OF $500 whites on the commissions rolls
only two died during the month, while
of the 1900 blacks So died from disease.

the companies which had spent from
twenty 10 twenty-five million dollars In
developing power in Canada would II for;
hidden to import power Into the United
States develop a market for the power
in Canada, which would operate greatly to
the detriment Of interests in New York
State.
An elaborate argument in reply to Mr..
Mcfarland and in behalf OF the tmporta-
ton OF power was made by, Francis Il.
Stetson, representing the Canadian Niagara
Power Company, the first company to
develop power across the border. Mr..
Stetson took Mr.. Mcfarland severely to
task for his ~sentimentality' and the appeals
which he had made to the public without
a proper knowledge of the facts and con-
ditions. He characterized many OF Mr.:
Netherlands statements as untrue and
argued that the subtraction OF water sutfi-
cient for 800, 900 horsepower would make
no appreciable difference in the scenic
beauty of the Falls.
Mr.. Stetson denied Mr.. McFarland's
statement that the Canadian companies
were seeking to form a monopoly which
o control all the power generated on
the other side and to demand high prices.
He asserted that the companies were fight
ing each other and that electric power
in the Niagara Falls radius costs only one
fourth as much as in Philadelphia or New
York, and there was a greater demand Tor
power than they could supply. No inter-
ndtlOuA1 dkTtchucnb lOE IA PACcth "ttCh
the Falls could be reached, he declared,
by our action in indirectly seeking to control
the Canadian side of the river by prohibiting
the importation Of power. Such an at
tempt, he said, would be resented by the
Canadian Government. which derived a
revenue from the power companies for its
grant.
Mr.. Stetson asserted that il the importa-
ton of power we're refused industries would
be developed across the border with the
aid Of the Canadian Government, which
would utilize the power. He admitted
that it would ave to be at a much cheaper
price, but the companies were confident
that II shut out OF the American market
the Canadian Government would take up
the matter and that it would result in the
use OF electricity instead OF steam on the
Canadian railroads.
Gen. Francis V. Greene, representing the
Ontario Power Company, also made a brief
statement urging the granting of the per-
mits. Aside from the fight which the com
panies are having with the American CIVIC
Association on the question OF transmitting
power across the river. the companies are
In serious controversy among themselves
as TO the division of the power. The ana
dian Niagara Power Company and the
Schoolkopf companies, the pioneer concerns
to develop power in Canada, claim the
right to import all the power permissible
under the Burton bill.
Secretary Taft will tomorrow hear the
arguments OF the representatives OF the
companies as to the matter Of the division
Of the power.

HER HUSBAND TO BLAME.
Court OF Appeals Upsets James G. DE
IaneN's Divorce.

IatCy y DtNOTCrs
TRENTON, n. j., Nov. 26.-The decision Of
the Court of Chancery which awarded
James @. Delaney Of Newark a decree of
divorce on the ground Of infidelity was re-
versed by the Court of Errors and Appeals
to-day. In an opinion by Justice Fort the
court holds that the only act OF wrong
doing charged against the wife was COM
mitted, il committed at all, under oircum-
stances showing il to have been condoned,
If not actually encouraged, by the husband.
The court censures the conduct Of the hus-
band rather thar that OF the wife.
The first act disclosed by the evidence
to give the husband any ground for sus-
pecting his wife, the opinion says, occurred
about four days prior TO their separation.
The husband left home ostensibly on a
business trip, but returning Unexpectedly
that night discovered that his wife was out.
She explained that she had gone to New
York to do some shopping, had met a young
woman acquaintance n gon TO supper
with her. Later her friend sent for a friend
Of hers, John c. Fawcett of Brooklyn. Mrs.
Delaney returned to her home about mid
night. Admitting hat this action might
have been indiscreet, the court found
! nothing more serious TO attach to it.
When Mrs. Delaney returned her hus-
band at first refused her admittance to the
house, but let her in later, at the same time
| accusing her of misconduct. The next
afternoon the husband returned with Au-
brey Lockett, who was employed under
him with the Lambert Hosting Engine
Company. He took Lockett into his wife's
room and introduced Lockett TO her, at the
same time declaring that his wife was no
longer virtuous.
Delaney and Lockett drank whiskey to-
gether and the husband tried 10 persuade
went to New York and again, returned
TO the house in the evening, having spent
much of their time drinking whiskey and
cocktails. Another visit was paid To Mrs,
Delaney's ROOM, where more whiskey was
consumed.
About 4 O'Clock in the morning Delaney
took his guest to q saloon for more drinks,
after which they retired, Lockett occupying
a room adjoining that Of Mrs. Delaney
The husband declared that at about $50
the following morning he discovered his
wife in the room occupied by Lockett and
upon this fact based his suit for divorce.
Justice Fort says that it appears from
the evidence that Mrs. Delaney's weak
ness was drink. He finds that the husbands
action in bringing home Lockett, attempt
ing to shake his friends faith in Mrs. De-
laney at their first meeting, and then trying
to get her 10 drink whiskey we're all evil
dences that the husband was either seeking
to create some grounds for divorce or did
not attempt to protect his wife from her
weaknesses, as he was morally and legally
obliged TO do.
He found increasing evidence of this
in the fact that after the alleged discovery
Delaney, instead of manifesting the in
dignation which might he expected of a
husband under the circumstances, invited
Lockett to go out and have another drink
telling him that no harm had been done.

a boat put out from a railroad dock. The
horse started to swim dow stream and the
men vent after him. The man In the
bow managed to slip a rope around the
horses neck and then looked around for
a landing place. They towed the horse
for nearly a mile, to dock c of the Erie Rail-
road in lower W~eehawken before they
dared make a landing.
The horse was almost exhausted when
they rowed in alongside a steam lighter
with a big derrick on board. A sling was
placed under the horse and he was lifted
aboard the barge shortly after midnight,
