An Eventful Business Trip

0NE day l dropped in for afternoon tea with an
~ Englishwoman a Mrs. H. She told me that
Mr.. H. had gone on business to Gradot-a three
days riding trip from Bogota,-but would be back
on Sunday.
/ did not see her again from Friday till Tuesday
afternoon. Then l was in car, and
she got in, looking like ghost, tears in
her eyes, and trembling all over.
What in the world is the matter?"
I asked

there came in one of the Indians from -=-sazzEzs
the terra ealiene (the hot country,
they call it, with news H. had been CD
wounded. There full account of

Minister to Colombia. This was the
story:
H. and Mr.. B. had reached little
place near Gradot night about ten clock There
they had been stopped by a Colombian officer, who
demanded passports The Englishman had them and
showed them but the officer not satisfied, and
took them to another officer, Major ", who Or
dered the Englishman's arrest. H. and B. were
seized and taken to the barracks. At the door H.
protested and demanded to be taken to the Gen.
eral, and at that Major " lost his head entirely,
and sashed H. with his machete cutting him in five
places B. was then locked up in the barracks, and
H. was taken a mile away to the camp, where he

He knocked down two or three soldiers but was
finally overpowered, and revolver put to his
breast. He dragged away; but he shouted as
he went, Long live the Liberal party!'
A young of good family went to the officials
for passport to go to New York. Some difficulty
was made about the matter, and the young Colon
blan began to speak his mind about the Government
of his country. He listened to for about one
minute. Then, Take this man to the prison! was
the order given and the young found himself
in jail, instead of on his way the United States
A night or two later, the Government celebrated
with bands of music and fireworks in the Plaza de
Bolivar, victory in which they had taken many
thirty prisoners The next afternoon as was
turning from Chapinero, a suburb of Bogota l saw
a great crowd, shouting and gesticulating. There
were the thirty prisoners, each with rope halter
around his neck the other end of each rope held by
a soldier. Besides this, the prisoners were under
guard of at least one hundred armed men, and SO
were being paraded about the streets.

A. in of them. He with twenty others, had

friends saw to that or else they starved.
As soon as A. was taken to the jail, his
family sent him mattress with bed

knives and forks were not allowed He

hundred other men. The walls were
dripping with moisture, and the only

Poor men were much worse off. Many

feet from the floor. The board had holes in it,
and in these holes were fastened the feet of the
men whom the guards wished to punish The feet
were thus raised yard above the floor while the
prisoners supported the rest of the body by the
hands. When they became unable to bear that po-
siton any longer, they let themselves down their
stomachs; then for relief, raised themselves on
their hands again. After A. had been released

men that hereafter they will be arrest

There has been much complaint Of

oil afloat on the waters of the harbor
and the matter has been finally put up
to the Superintendent of Public Works.
Steps will be taken to compel more
care in the mater of discharge of oil.
Not only does the oil pollute the

of all craft are rendered filthy and
there is also danger from fire, should

ADJUSTMENTS
MISS LILLIAN RUSSELL

Lillian Russell in her new play
which is to be produced at the Keylor
Grand theater, May %, has one of the
comedy hits of the year. kellett
Champers, the young playwright, has
utilized subject in which the public
is deeply interested, that is interna-
tional marriages and divorce laws. In
a clever satirical vein, he has told a
laughable and interesting story in
The Butterfly" The action of the
play treats of a young widow of a
millionaire who made his money in
railroads and soothes his conscience
by giving 1t to the church. Young and
beautiful she is full of life and eager
to spend the money which the old
magnate boarded so carefully. With
her wealth she wants a title. A for
tune hunting earl is willing to ex-
change his coronet for dollars. The
play opens year and a day after the
death of the railroad king. Miss Betsy
has thrown off her mourning and
is about to plunge into the gayities Of
New York and Saratoga. Her en-
gagement to the earl is to be an
nounced. In the midst of her plans a
that if she does not marry an Ameri-
can the estate is forfeited to a nephew
of the dear departed. Betsy is plunged
into grief and disappointment. Sudden
ly she recalls that in the will nothing
is said about a third marriage. At this
Oppotune moment a musical genius
calls upon Betsy with one of her best
friends. He proposes that they marry
AMI part in the church: she will pro-
duce his opera, get quick divorce,
marry the title and Illustrate the will.
The genius accepts the offer. His OPP
era is a great success. But when the
time comes for Betsy to get her di-
vorce. the title is not SO alluring as it
was. An Italian prma donna of Irish
descent complexities the situation and
causes more indececision on the part
of Betsy. Mr.. Joseph Brooks has
surrounded Lillian Russell with one of
the best company of comedians that
has ever been assembled. In the cast
is Eugene Ormonds, John Flood, Fred
L. Tiden, Fred Tyler, Herbert Spen-
Ger. Grant Mitchell, Isabel Richards
De vaux and Kate Griffith.
