CASTRo'S HEALTH IS POOR
President of Venezuela Gives His
Reason for Retiring from
once.

CARACAS, Tuesday April 10.-Via Will
lemstad, Island Of Curacao. April 13--Gen-
eral Castro yesterday transferred the presi-
dency of Venezuela to Vice President
Gomez. In an address which he made on
that occasion General Castro said that his
retirement was due to ill-health, but he did
not say whether it was temporary or per-
manent. 1t is generally understood, how
ever, that his retirement will last about
three months During the course of his re
marks General Castro said;
Our present international position is
completely defined and cleared up and leads
us to hope that everything will proceed
with the utmost harmony on the founda-
ton of mutual respect and consideration
for our rights, universally recognized,
and that all pending matters will neces-
sarily be settled by some friendly arrange
ment or by arbitration. the last resort OF
civilization"
The financial situation of Venezuela can
not, be more hattering. 1t is known In
Venezuela and aboard that all Venezuea's
engagements are religiously carried out
AS n result of General CastTo's retire
ment the Venezuelan cabinet has resigned.
PARIS, Rpril 13.-General Matos, leader
Of the last revolution against General
Castro in an interview today on the sub
ject of the latters retirement from the
presidency of Venezuela, said Castro
would never have abandoned his position
unless absolutely sure of being able TO
regain it at will.
Matos added that Castro probably de-
sires to take a vacation in his native
Andes and that the acting president, Vim
cente Gomez, will scrupulously carry out
his instructions and give up the presi-
dency when requested to do so.
The attitude of France towards Venez-
uela has not changed in consequence Of
General Castros retirement.

According to the testimony Caruso is

has been some unfavorable comment
because the woman who caused his ar
rest did not appear at the hearing
It occurs that she was either wise or
well advised in not appearing The
publicity given all parties to the case
would do frightful injury to any modest
woman. her good name would have
been questioned as soon as she stepped
on the witness stand. and although
she may have sustained herself with
credit she nevertheless would hava
suffered the humiliation of being IN

her go away suggest a reason why it
is so difficult to bring insuiters or
women to task. The average woman

BUY REAL ESTATE.

Probably without design, the Chi
cago Examiner hits the local real es-
tate situation in the following edi-
torial:
The problem of almost every human
being-especia the father and moth
er-is this: How can I provide for the
future, how can 1 free myself from the
uncertainty and dread that face me as
I look toward old age? Rapid transit
changes with each great invention of
the human mind In the days of the
stage coach civilization was hampered
because the workman could not live
far from his work. In the days of
horse cars, supplemented by the slow
cable lines, modern Chicago became
possible, because the worker could be
far from home, relatively speaking,
and yet get TO his business. The stage
coach has gone by, the steam railroad
car, so far as municipal transit in
Chicago is concerned, has gone by. and
the street cable car is as obsolete as
the mastodon. We face a new era in
transportation. And those that read
this editorial inteHigently may do for
themselves by real estate investments
what was done in the past by the an
cestors Of those that live comfortably
and without effort now.
The desire of this ne paper is to
serve those that read it and do some
thing to repay the kindness, friend
ship and support which we owe them.
We invite all of our saving, self-de-
nying. far-seeing readers to keep their
minds on real estate at present. All
kinds of opportunities are offered to
the people of this city. Men are going
to buy real estate by the acre and sell
it by the lot and bitterly reproach
themselves that they ever sold at all
The man who advertises q lot today
and thinks he is getting twice what II
IS worth is almost invariably getting
less than a quarter of its value ten
years from now. We cannot advise
our readers as to individual invest
ments or as to the merits of this op-
portunity or the other. But we do
most sincerely, advise every reader
with little money to invest TO think
about real estate possibilities. Use
your Judgment, think in what direction
population is going, ask yourselves
where people viii want to live and why
they will want to live there. Think
it over carefully, DO cautious. look al
the land before you buy, never invest
more than YOU can surely pay. Buy
your land to keep 1t. Then invest to
the best of your ability"

a Wrong Impression.

It is a mistake to assume that the
habits of the cowboy or the ways of the
stoker are necessary integral parts of
the true American character nor are
they in any sense distinctive character
istics of Americanism, any more than
are the fantastic follies Of the few who
assume that they are society" The
brute courage of the cowboy is not the
bravery Of the American. The buster
ing independence of the untutored is
not the real independence Of true Amer
icanism. The American hero is the man
who can do his duty in peace or war
with calmness and steady nerve He
finches never when his conscience calls
him to perform any act for the welfare
of his fellows, whether it be spectacular
or behind the curtain of modesty The
man who can suceor fellow in distress
is Drawer than the fellow who can shoot
his rival in cold blood even in defense
Of his own honor" The readiness to
do duty of high degree is more heroic
than TO do manual service unnecessarily
for the mere effect it will have on popu-
larity.-Elkhart Review.
