NEW ENVOY IS RICH
ENRIQUE cREEL WILL SOON BE
WEALTHIEST MEXICAN.
Will Represent His Country at Wash
ington-Practieally Owns Chihua-
hua-Has American Blood
in His Veins.

Chihuahua, Mexico. - Enrique C..
Creel, acting governor of the State of
Chihuahua, and who has been appoint
ed ambassador to the United States,
will be one Of the richest men in
the world when he comes into pos
session of his share of the fortune OF
Gen. Luis Terrazas, his fatherin-law,
and adds it to his own wealth.
Governor Creel is an American in
his paTentage but a native of Mexico.
He was born in this city August 81,
1854. He is one of the ablest finan-
ciers in Mexico.
He took leading part in establish
ing the new monetary system for the
Mexican government. He is interest
ed with Gen. Terrazas in many big
enterprises and has practically had
the control of his father-in-law's vast
holdings for many years. This has
brought him into close contact with
men of finance of all lands, particular
ly Mexico and the United States.
Governor Creers wealth is now es-
timated TO be not less than $25,000,-
600. The fortune of Gen. TerraZas is
upward of 100000, 900. 1t has been
said that he practically owns the state
and city O{ Chihuahua.
His mines, ranches, farms, banks,
manufacturing plants, houses and
business blocks bring him in a great
annual revenue. He was governor of
Chihuahua for many years, but on
account of his advanced age he relin-
quished active duties of the Office
about three years ago, and his son
jn-law, Mr.. Creel, was appointed act
ing governor by President Diaz.
Although Mr. Creel was born IN
Mexico, his Americanism is plainly
shown in his personality. His father

was one of the most remarkable
things he had ever seen, and he
studied it for some time. He said
it was almost a perfect bust of Dante
and that a master-head had modelled
it.
The picture does not do justice
to the subject, as it is impossible to
get in all the lights and shades. After
a picture was made the coat was
taken down and attempts were made
to reproduce the picture of the face
but it was impossible.
The coat was hung up by the arm
hole, the sleeve forming the face, and
one of the fronts of the coat falling
over formed the hood. The most re-
markable thing in connection with
the picture is that it is in perfect
proportion. 1t was a most difficult
thing to photograph, as the coat hung
in bad light. but the plate was ex-
posed for 40 minutes and the results
were most gratifying.

of the placita back of the prison was
an old scaffold, which ratified and
sWayed in the wind. Upon it many an
early day bad man" paid for his
crimes with his life. The method of
execution was rough. After the knot
was placed about the neck, the exeCu-
toner kicked a prop from beneath the
trap on which the prisoner stood.
The books Of the prison have been
lost, only a few in recent years hav-
ing been preserved. They are written
principally in Spanish and give little
information.
The agitation for a new prison be-
gan about six months ago when a por-
ton of the roof over one cell fell in.
The following night a prisoner made
his escape, leaving a note in which he
said that he did not want to run away,
believing that he would be acquitted
when brought to trial, but that he
deemed it fOolhardy to remain longer
in such a death trap. The publication
of the letter called the attention of the
people to the old prison. They had
long forgotten it, considering it only
one OF the many relics of other days.

OLDEST PRISON TO Co
SITUATED AT SANTA FEN. NJ, AND
WILL BE TORN DOWN.
Its History Is Lost in the Dim Past
Walls of Sun-Dried Brick Four
Feet Thick-The Adobe
Roof.

Kansas City, Mo.-The old Spanish
prison in Santa Fe, n. NJ, one
of the most ancient and historic
buildings in the City Of the
Holy Faith, with the exception
of San Miguel church. is to be razed
and in its place will be erected a mod
ern Jail building of vitrifed brick,
steel cages and steam heat The
county commissioners have let the
contract for tearing down and dis
posing of the old prison, and work has
already begun upon the new structure.
The half dozen prisoners now in the
Jail will be guarded elsewhere until
the new structure is completed.
1t is impossible to secure data on
the old prison. 1t has stood as long
as the oldest inhabitant can remem-
Der and looked nearly 200 years ago
as it does to-day. The building has
been remOdeled a dozen times, but the
cells and massive doors have never
been changed. The old prison is of
adobe entirely, Its walls are of sun
dried brick four feet in thickness. The
roof, which is of adobe, laid over mas
siye pine logs roughly hewn into shape
with an ak, is also several feet thick.
The cells are dirty. dark and unfur
nlshed except for piles of straw COW
cred with old blankets, or rickety cots
upon which prisoners are expected to
sleep. Earth, hardened and worn by
the tread of many feet, is the only
floor. In the walls of the cells are
still fastened the great, hand-wTought
chains and cuffs with which prisoners
at one time were made fast. The cell
doors are of iron beaten and welded
into bars by hand. They have re-
sisted mob violence in times gone by.
The old prison was originally con-
structed about a placita or little yard,
the buildings forming three sides and
high adobe wall the fourth. In re
cent years, however, the buildings on
one side of the placita crumbled into
ruins and the remainder on the oppo-
site side were used as stables for the
sheriff's horses, leaving only the main
dollhouse as a prison. In the center

Valuable Candle Mn

The candle nut is native of the
Pacific islands, and the name is de-
rived from the fact that the kernels
are so full of oil that, when dried. they
can be stuck on reeds and used as
candles. The people of Hawaii, after
having roasted these nuts and re-
moved the shells, reduce the kernels
to paste, which, when favored with
pepper and salt, is said to be a most
appetizing dish. The husk of the nut
and the gum which exudes from the
tree have medicinal values, while the
burned shell is used to make an in
delible ink, with which tattooing. is
done.

LABOR CHEAP IN BELGIUM.
Thirteen Hours of Hard Work Poorly
Recompensed.

The hours Of labor in Belgium are
very long, says Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. The laborer begins
work at six a. m, and ceases work at
seven p. m, with the usual breaks for
meals He is paid on the average of
seven cents to nine cents an hour for
ten hours, and 20 per cent. more for
two additional hours, making his daily
wage 81 cents to S1.OS for u hours.
Children begin their life work as
early as u years of age, though the
law cOmpassionately states that no
child under 16 years of age shall be
kept at work for more than u
hours a day. A Belgian statistician
estimates the average earnings of an
artisan, child labor being included in
his calculation, at about $3.50 a year.
Numerous factories have been estab-
Iished there by British firms owing to
the very low rate at which labor can
be secured.

London.-The manufacture Of dia-
monds has been successfully per-
formed by NJ Henri Moissan, to whom
the Nobel prize for chemistry was
awarded the other day, but that is
not his chief claim 10 fame The cleo
trio furnace, which nowadays plays so
large a part in industrial processes,
owes more to him than to any other
experimenter.
About the year 1873 NJ. MOissan was
engaged in developing an electric fur
mace, which consisted in its sim
plest form of two blocks of lime
lor limestone, forming the body
OF the furnace, through which an arc
was formed between carbon cleo
ltrodes. The popularity of NJ. MOis-
sans furnace was that it was able to
produce far greater temperatures than
had previously been attained. As
much as a hundred horsepower was
used to concentrate its energy on a
small charge, and in this way EN-
perature was reached only limited by
the boiling point of carbon, which lies
between 5000 and 1000 degrees Fahr-
enheit.

which exists in the suns atmosphere,
the most refractory metals are con-
verted into vapor, and chemical
changes or combinations are produced
which are quite impossible at the COM
paratively low temperature of Ordi-
nary furnaces. The Investigations of
NJ. MOissan, which have been placed
freely at the disposal of the world. un-
hampered by patents, have done more
than those of any one else to advance

A bicycle similar to the one owned
by Mr.. Hale is recorded as having
been run in France in 1916.
This mode of riding was hard on
the footwear and the bicycle tourists
of those days were accustomed to
wear special iron-shod shoes.
After this old style came the high
wheels, then safeties with hard and
then with soft tires, until the present
perfect machines were evolved.

Japan's Cotton Manufactures,

Japan is making notable progress in
the manufacture of cotton goods. New
factories are being projected and es-
tablished mills enlarged. It is pre-
dicted that between 10000 and 100. 900
new spindles will be installed during
1907. It appears that there is a
prejudice among japanese mill man
ayers against American textile ma
chinery and that nearly all such ma
chinery is purchased in England.
Japan will, in the not remote future.
undoubtedly have a very. large share
of the Asiatic market for cotton
goods.

Curious Bicycle, Imported in 1880,

BOstOn.-Frank o. Hale of Spring

curiosity in the shape of a bicycle,
brought from France in a New Bed

Mr.. Hale, as a boy, used to knock
about the docks at New London. Then
he became acquainted with Capt. Ira
Potter, who presented the curio to
him about the year 1860. The wheel
was given to the captain by a passen-
ger on his vessel while coming over
from France.
1t has been on exhibition in Bos-

JAP BOY WILL TEST SUIT.
keikichi Aoki Selected as Eubjeet in
Frisco School Dispute.

San Francisco.-In these days of
internal and international complica-

problem in California, the most prom

year-o'd son of Mitchisugu Aoki, who
has been selected by Japan and the
United States to be the subject of the
test case in the courts.
The boys father refused to send him
to the oriental school when the segre-
CATION rule of the board of education
went into effect. He was selected as
an example by Consul Oyeno and the
United States district attorney, who
will present the case to the court for
the United States.
So the whole question of such great

The board of education has no OBJ
lection to the selection of Aoki as the

The origin of the red tie used by

in case of emergency it could be pulled

He says Davis was irritable and
