DISTRIBUTES MILLIONS
AMONG COUNTRY'S POOR.

Galveston, Tex, April 25.-A dis
patch from Paral. Mex, says that
Pedro Alvarado, who was trans
formed from a poor miner into a
Croesus within the past 10 Wears
through the fabulous richness of the
Palnillo mine. has just completed the
distribution of nearly $2.000,000 in
charity among the needy of his own
country.
For several years it has been his
habit to give many large sums of
money on Christmas, Easter and 9th
er festivals to the deserving poor, but
heretofore he carefully guarded
against any publicity of the amount
dispensed on these occasions.
Some one betrayed his confidence
this time and made known the
amount of the Easter offering
Through many charitable societies
and the priests and civil authorities
in the poor settlements, food, cloth
ing and medicines were dispensed
with lavish hand.
When asked how much money he
gave away, he said he did not know,
but he believed he had lightened the
hearts of about 5000 or 1000 of his
countrymen.
Alvarado is only 80 years of age.
and while living like a king, with n
golden palace. devotes a large por-
tion of his time to charity.
1t is believed he is the richest man
in the world.

POLITICAL EVENTS
OF COMING
WEEK
(Special to The sentinel.D

Washington April 25.-Next week
will be the busiest since the 1905
campaign was opened, If the number
of state conventions to be held
throughout the country affords any
criterion. While most of these gath
erings may be safely forecasted, as
to their presidential preferences, a
few surprises are likely to develop.
While no conventions are schedul-
ed for Monday, there will be several
important meetings and banquets of
a political nature in various parts of
the country. Grants birthday will
be observed by many patriotic bodies
in the large cities of the land.
Republican state conventions, to
select delegates-at-large to Chicago,
will be held on Tuesday in Arkansas,
Colorado and South Carolina, while
Republican primaries will be held in
New Jersey and the District of Col
umbia. Democratic state conven-
tons, at which the Denver delega-
tions will be selected, are to be held
on the same day in New Jersey and
Connecticut.
The Colorado convention will be
held in Pueblo, and is certain to in
struct its delegates for Secretary
Taft. While some of the negro vo-
ters are opposed to Taft, it is almost
certain that he Hot Springs conven-
ton will also go on record as favor
ing the war secretary. Similar con-
ditions exist in South Carolina. The
primaries in New Jersey and the Dis
trict of Columbia are also likely to
be to Taft's advantage i'm the presi-
Dental race.
William Jennings Bryan will like
ly find lively opposition in both of
the Democratic state conventions to
be held on Tuesday, that of New Jer-
sey in Trenton and of Connecticut in
New Haven.
Five Republican state conventions
will be held on Wednesday, that of
Pennsylvania at Harrisburg, Vermont
at Burlington, Mississippi at Jackson,
West Virginia at Parkersburg and
the Davidson faction of Alabama at
Birmin CHAM. Pennsylvania con-
vention will be notable as marking
the formal launching of the presi-
dental boom OF Senator Philander C..
Knox. Taft will probably receive
the Endorsement of the Vermont con-
vention and that of West Virginia.
Mississippi's delegation will likely be
uninstructed. but favorable to Taft,
since the administration forces are
apparently in control of the situa-
tion. The Alabama convention will
be thot of the Davidson, or anti
Roosevelt faction, and will probably
support Foraker. The Roosevelt fac
tion in Alabama will hold a conven-
ton later, and there will be contest
ing delegation from Alabama to the
| Chicago convention.
The Maryland Republican state
convention will be held in Baltimore
! on ''bl1rcdoy and while thp 6alega-
tion may be left uninstructed, it will
doubtless swing into line for Taft
when the roll is called at he national
convention. The Maine convention,
which will be held in Portland on the
same day, is also claimed by the Taft
adherents, although this is denied in
other quarters. North Carolina's
white Republicans are Taft boomers,
almost to a man.

How the Chief Figured in

eminent officials connected with the
revenue at New Orleans.
They began work almost immedi-
ately upon their arrival in the Cres-
cent City. They separated in order
not to create any suspicion; but every
night they met Mr.. Brooks for report
and instructions. All of the big dis
tilleries in the neighborhood of New
Orleans were Swallowed; their proprie-
tors closely watched, and never-fail-
ing tab kept upon every one of the
government officials connected with
the revenue. There was fine detective
work to be done both day and night
1t lasted for many weeks, and when
the climax came and the results were
accomplished in a single night, the en-
tire country was startled by the re-
suit.
The establishment on which the
greatest amount of suspicion was di-
rected was a big distillery on the
other side of the river. But while the
detectives were morally certain that
