lished an imaginary interview between
the two men in which Bryan told MAJ
zantini he had come to Mexico TO study
the silver problem. While you have
come to study the silver question" replied
the bull fighter, 81 have come to collect
the silver" And so he did. Thousands
of people flocked to every one of his fights.
AS soon as a bull is killed he is dragged
from the arena and another bull ad-
mitted If bull prove tame. the judges
order It taken from the arena and an
other admitted Look over the faces OF
the thousands of spectators, and you Will
fail to find a single look of pity or dis
tress, no matter how much the bull may
suffer as he drags himself bleeding around
the arena in pursuit of his tormentors.
Gay senoritas there are by the score,
with pretty lace mantillas covering
masses of raven black hair and shading
delicate Spanish features. Pretty women,
who at morning mass knelt in modest
piety before the image of some wax saint
IN the great plaza cathedral while the
priests said mass and the great pipe or
gan thundered an accompaniment to the
chorus of 80 violins. Not tear of pity is
heard as the tragedies of the ring are
enacted. If bull fighter trips and falls
before the bull and is hurt, there may
be screams and faces of the women may
be momentariy hidden behind fans, but
the suffering of the bulls and horses seem
TO produce no effect on the audience.
Bull fights have gone on for generations
in Mexico. They went on before the pres
ent generation was born, and the men
and women of today were raised to de-
light in the bull fight. Several times the
Mexican government has tried to suppress
the bull fighting. but public sentiment
favors the sport so strongly that these
attempts failed. 1t will perhaps be many
years before the cruel sport will be en-
tirely abolished In Mexico.

A burglar who evidently intends fur

chairs and one rocking chair from the
residence of Mrs H. Jeffries, 1902 South
Olive street, some time Friday night.
Mrs. Jeffries, in company with several
friends, attended performance at one

would return to the house before she
got back Mrs Jeffries left the door open
for them.
The robber apparently saw the women
leave and then robbed the place.

The most dramatic feature OF the seige
was the attempt to carry two redoubts.
These works were dangerous to the at

positions making a portion OF the second

the redoubts was given to Lafayette

that denoted vigor and as they passed
by they were given a splendid ovation.
The French army was led by a brass
band and every officer and man was
dressed in a conspicuous uniform of bril-
liant colors making an array that was
most imposing. They, too, received the
cheers from the multitude that appre-
ciated what they were doing to help the
country win its freedom.
On the outskirts of Philadelphia the
armies halted for a rest while the Of

Meanwhile CORVALLIS had received
tidings of the arrival of the fleet of de

three hundred heroic pieces Of statuary,
bronze and marble, being scattered through
the glades. The majority OF these Mr..

comfort than for beauty. Its lofty rooms,

that CORVALLIS ordered a white flag to
be displayed on October II and sent
note to Washington asking for terms Of
surrender.
The articles OF capitulation were drawn
and CORVALLIS was invited to meet the
American officers In the Moore house and
sign them. This he did and on October 10
the British army, with colors cased and
drums beating, marched out Of Yorktown
between two lines comprised of the Amer
lean and French soldiers. Washington,
with his staff was at the head of his army
and Rochambeau, with his stan, at tbs
head of his.
CORVALLIS felt In no humor to meet
the victors so he sent his aide, General
O'Hara, with his sword and with ths ex-
cuse that he was too Ill to attend. Wash
ington, too, stood upon his dignity and
instead OF himself receiving Cornwallls'
sword he detailed General Lincoln to that
duty.

There Is one great feature IN connection
with the surrender of CORVALLIS that has

news OF the victory was carried to Phila-

was In session. The news of victory was
carried by General Tench Iilghman,

General Washington and Count de Ro-
