THE CROESUS
MEXICO
PEDRO ALVARADO'S RISE FROM
POVERTY TO GREAT
WEALTH.

Mexico is so rich i'm resources and
opportunities that she is beginning to
produce a goodly number OF Million
aires. some OF whom have worked
their way up to great wealth from
the depths of poverty. The wealth
lest man at present in Mexico is
Pedro Alvarado, formerly n peon, or
poor laborer, who has made and inn
mense fortune within a few years
from a remarkable mine which he
has been operating at Parral. Once
a poor miner, almost on the verge
OF beggary, he was, through many
tribulations, animated by a faith in
providence and in hsihis mine I'm the
side of an unknown hill near Parral.
How he dug there, hiring labor when
he could. and working alone when
he could not, and how at last, within
the life span OF the youngest child
who could read these lines, he struck
the great bononza which has made
him one of the wealthest men In the
southern republic, make story OF
thrilling interest.
Alvarado is ignorant and narrow.
a man in whose hands wealth is but
a toy. Yet he has accepted that
toy with religious conviction
that it is in the nature of a
trust. AS coming from Mexico
soil, he has said that it belongs to
Mexico, and a stancher Patriot, or a
patriot who showed more by his
works, never lived. 1t is said that
he has offered to pay the national
debt Of his country.
He is a home trader, however, and
buys his goods of local merchants,
giving preference to home products.
He is a generous philanthropist, and
distributes aims among the poor with
lavish hand.
Pedro Alvarado lives in a palace
OF many rooms, fitted in magnificent
style, albeit in the worst taste. Yet
that palace is oppressive to him
just why, he does not understand
and his favorite ground. Not that
he is too fond Of its contents. but
because he finds in the rough sim
Ihicity of the cellar the relief which
he Graves. There, a few weeks ago.
the writer talked with him, as a
millionaire sat on a case Of imported
champagne, drinkink Mexican beer.
He Is man of small statue, judged
by American standards, yet having
considerable native dignity and poise
He is but SO years old, and looks
no more. a slight black moustache
and beard, an ill-fitting black broad
cloth suit, made uH black satin
cravat, in which glistens an immense
diamond pin, which shines no more
than his little black eyes, describe
the man.
Alvarado's wealth is estimated by
generous newspaper correspondents
at 100000. He is probably
worth one-third as much. and holds
sole title to a mine which is now
producing about $1,5OO,OOO net prof
it each year, but which, under Hro-
gressive management, no doubt could
give double, or even three times that
amount eslie's Weekly.

TRIES CUTICURA,
WELL IN SEVEN DAYS

"Cuticura Remedies have entirely
cured me after all other remedies had
failed. Up to a week or SO ago I had
tried many other remedies and several
doctors, and spent about three hundred
dollars, without any success, but this
is to-day the seventh day hat I have
been using the Cuticura Remedies (cost-
ing q dollar and a haf), which have
cured me completely, SO that I can
again attend to my business. I went
to work again tonight. My trouble
was as follows: Upon the limbs and
between the Toe my skin was rough
and sore, and also sore under the arms.
I am a chef for a large cafe on Broadway,
and I had to stay at home several times
because Of this affection. I had been
suffering for eight years and have now
been cured by the Cuticura Remedies
within a week. I am much indebted to
Cuticura, and shall certainly recon-
mend it to all my friends and colleagues

A Dead Man and a Live Companv.

Prevent widows and orphans from becoming charges
on charity. But a dead man without a previous connec-
with a Live Life Insurance Company did an lawfully
poor stroke of finance when he died. The live man and
the live company must get together, else the surviving
live company can't do anything towards making things
easy for the dead mans family. Some one has said that
dead men tell no tales, and may be they don't; but if they
could retrace their steps and see the sort of tales that the
widows and orphans are left to tell, they would be filled
with regret at their own failure to prevent such a tale.
They would tell you to seek out that live company-the
State Life, for instance--and form a partnership with it,
whereby it was to look after your family when you cease
and determine.
They would point out to you the great security which
the State Of Indiana throws around you when it requires
all Indiana companies to keep enough securities deposited
with the State Department to cover every dollar that the
Company owes to it's policy holders. These dead men
would tell you a lot of things that would make you more
of a live man if only they could come back.
Now, Listen: Your widow and children will have hard
enough time to get along after you leave them all the in
surance money that you possibly can, and their lives won't
be very cheerful if you don't leave them anything. Think
it over, with your own self as the star actor in the picture,
and then write for rates and further particulars concern
ing the State Life.

having described the dorbett-Fitz-
simmons prize fight in 1897. Bishop
McCabe said i'm the Methodist Con-
ference at Winfield. Kan: 1T is a
fitting sequel to the career OF the
man who declared the publication Of
politics TO be an iridescent dream to
find him sloughing off his Senatorial
togs long enough to prostitute his
glowing rhetoric for the sporting
readers of New York journal"
The Bishops criticism offended
Mr.. ingalls, deeply. He replied tartly:
From your allusion to my glowing
rhetoric and the alleged incidents
at the ringside. II is evident that
you carefully read the account of
the brutal fistic tournament at Car

congregation, at the freside to your
