The MEXICAN RevolutIonIsts.

Thirty-two revolutionists tried and
convicted OF the crime OF treason,
were brought to Ciudad, JaureZ, op-
posite FL Paso on the Mexican side
of the international border Saturday.
Their fate Is unknown. They are a
part of the first band arrested at
Casas Grandes and were given hear
ings before Federal Judge Lera, OF
JuareZ, who came up on the same
train that brought them. The men
were tied together with large ropes,
upon a freight car, and were removed
five miles below Juarez and marched
in roundabout way to the federal
barracks where they are now quar-
tered. One report says they are to
be taken to chihuahua and shot in
the state penitentiary and the other
is that they have been condemned
to the salt mines in the state OF To-
basco, which is worse.
code message which escaped the
Mexican censor, says that 20 revolu-
tionists who had been condemned to
die, were removed today from Casa
Grandes to Chihuahua, where they
will be executed in the state prison
later.

MOST OF THEM HAVE DIED COM.
PARATIVELY POOR.
Cleveland the Latest lnstance-Few

cumstances.
Photo by Modett Studio. Chicago,

New York.-They say that Grover
Cleveland died a comparatively poor
man. like most of our presidents.
When congress meets a law will be
passed giving a pension OF $4,000 a
year to Mrs. Cleveland This annuity
is always bestowed upon widows of
presidents. Mrs. Garfield is the only
living beneficiary at present.
Cleveland was poor man when he
became president the first time. He
made some money through real estate
investments in the neighborhood of
Washington. With the savings from
his salary he bought Oak View, which
he occupied for awhile as a summer
home, and other suburban property.
Then came a boom in land values.
and he sold at considerable profit. His
purchases gave fashionable impor.
lance to the localities where they were
made and this alone made prices run
up.
Mr.. Taft is VIGOROUSLY a poor man.
He has absolutely nothing more than
his salary. But for the aid of his
half-brother, Charles o. p, he would
have been unable TO make the can
vass for the nomination.
Mr.. Bryan was poor young lawyer

cuPID's GIFTS FOR KEEPS.
Court Declares That Lovers Cannot
Be Indian GiVers.

Altoona, Pa.-According to the in
depreciation of the law by Judge
James Shull of Perry county, specially
presiding i'm Blair county. when a
lover gives a present to his sweetheart
IL is hers for all time.
James Poke gave Miss Lucy Deffley
OF Juniata a set of furs while he was
counting her, and the weather was
frigid; but later he fell in love with
another girl, sent all Miss Deffiey's
presents back, and demanded the
seasonable furs. She told him to come
and get them. He came, and she
showed him the present which he ap-
propriated.
The girl says he choked her twice
when abe tried to get them from him.
Suits for larceny and for assault
and battery followed. They we're tried
the other day.
Judge Shull eliminated the larceny
charge and returned the turs, In this
hot weather. to Miss DefTisy, and the
jury divided the costs In the other
case.

Church Music Held Sensuous.

Comic opera music is sensuous, too.
II does positive harm to those who
hear it, but not more than much OF our
church music"
Oscar II. Hawley OF Macon, presi.
dent of the association, declares that
grand opera is rotten" and Silly"
and that a professional musician who
plays a musical instrument for liv-
ing knows as much about music as
toad knows about the higher criticism.
Grand opera IS just a Heterogeneous
mass of howling." he says. TT Is
neither real, ideal nor poetic Did you
ever know a lover TO ,woposs E.arrfnge
by yowling at his sveethesEtf Did
you ever know of a couple'S making
love by bawling at each other? That
is what they do in grand opera. I
know every opera that was ever writ
ten, and of them all Wagrer's are the
worst"

So says Rev. Charles II. Bohn. rec
tor of the Episcopal Church of Ne

urer of the Missouri State Music
Teachers association, which recently
held its annual convention in the
Church of the Messiah
You take your sweetheart to church

South American Troubles.

The government of Honduras insti-
tuted a suit before the Central Am
erican court Of justice formally at
Carriage, Costa RIGA, against the gov
ernments OF Salvador and Guatemala,
charging violations of the treaties
signed by the states OF Central Am
erica at Washington last winter, in
that the governments specified have
promoted the revolution now under
way within the republic.
The Nicaraguan government has
presented complaint to the Cen
trail American court of justice at Car
tago, Costa RIGA, based on the alle-
cation that the governments of Guate-
mala and Salvador have rendered as
sistance TO the revolutionists of Hon.
duras and the Nicaraguan refugees
who are allied with them
This fact, the Nicaraguan govern
ment alleges, menaces the peace OF
the Nicaraguan republic. President
Zelaya is organizing an army to pro-
tect the Nicaraguan frontier, and his
action TO this end receives the sup
port Of the people VI the country.

divided between his son and daughter;
but Il is probable that he was worth
about as much when he entered the
White House. He was the most lavish
of our presidents in his expenditures,
not hesitating to spend from 81, 900 to
$4,000 on a single dinner, and 1t is not
likely that he saved much during his
term. His predecessor, Garfield, died
poor. but his widow was magnificently
being raised for her, while her pension
of $4,000 a year made 1t a certainty
that she should never want.
Hayes, who spent the last years of
his life in what he called delightful
retirement" left his family well off.
Grant. during his first term, got
only $4,000 a year. but at the begin
ming of his second term the pay of the
president was raised to $50, 900, and he
had some chance to save little out of
his salary. Nobody seems TO know how
much he was worth when he left the
White House.
Andrew Johnson left a modest for.
tune invested chiefly in farm. a mill
and a country store in Knoxville and
Greenville, Tenn.
Lincoln was a poor man when he
Joined the majority. Buchanan was
well off and Van Buren, died rich. In
fact. Van Buren, was so wealthy that
he did not bother to draw his salary
while he was in the White House, but
allowed it to accumulate, paying all
his expenses out of his own private
purse. and drew 100000 in lump at
the end of the four years Of his term.
Polk, Fillmore and Pierce were all
rich men. and left considerable prop
critics when they died Andrew Jack
son was impoverished during the last
years of his life by assuming the debts
of his son, Andrew Jackson, Jr At all
events, his fortune was much reduced,
though in his will he managed TO leave
at least one slave to each member of
his family, including his infant grand
children.
John Quincy Adams died a rich
man. His will, which is preserved in
the records of the District of Column
bia, is of great length. and is notable
otherwise in more than one respect.
1t makes no mention whatever of the
deity or of future state-a remarka'
BILE omission in those days-and 1t
mentions the name Of the testator as
John Quincy Adams, doctor of laws.
The title conferred by Harvard gave
him great pride.
William Henry Harrison. Benjamin's
grandfather, left only a moderate es-
tate. He was a man Of very simple
ways.
James Monroe died poor. He was
in debt when he left the White House
and, going to New York to practice his
profession of law, he made rather a
failure of it financially.
James Madison was pretty we'll off
at the time of his death, but the money
he left to Dolly was dissipated by a
worthless relative.
Thomas Jefferson, after leaving the
White House, lived for II years at
Monticello. where he tried to be a
farmer The business was not profita-
BILE and, partly by reason of the money
drain caused by an exuberant and
never-failing hospitality, the author of
the declaration was reduced in his old
age to disagreeable straits. He was
relieved to some extent by the pur-
chase of his library, for which con-
gress paid him.
When he died, George Washington
was one of the richest men in Ameri-
ca. being worth at least 100000.

PRESIDENTS OF PAST.

at the time he made his famous
speech in Chicago in 1896, which won
for him n presidential nomination.
Since then he has been making money
fast and is now credited with being
worth 100000. From the Commoner
and his lectures he is repuIed TO re-
ceivo in the neighborhood of 100000
a year. His candidates. for the presi-
dency have been very profitable for
him, probably more so than even an
election would be.
Mr.. Roosevelt will leave the White
House in comparatively easy circum-
stances and will add to the money he
new has by magazine contributions
and the writing of books. Just what
he is worth is not known, but it is
believed to be between 100000 and
5000, 900.
William Mckinley left an estate
worth between 100000 and $500. 900
BY careful management under the di.
rection of George B. Cortelyou, it's
value was materially increased so that
Mrs. Mckinley was more than well off
in worldly goods.
Benjamin Harrison saved money
while in the White House, but was not
a wealthy man at the time of his
death. When elected to the presi-
dency he was worth probably not more
than $4,000. He lived simply while
in the White House and saved more
than 100000 during his four years
occupancy.
Chester A. Arthur was worth $780,
900 when he died, that amount being
