CARACAS REVOLUTION.
Author Back From Venezuela Says 1t
Looked Like Opera Bouffe.

LOOKED Like opera 0ouue.
Samuel Hopkins Adams, the author,
who recently returned to New York,
was in Caracas. Venezuela, when Pres
ident Castro sailed for Europe and
saw the rioting in Caracas Dec. ii,
which constituted revolution, he
thinks, that lifted Acting President
Gomez into the permanent place Of
president, so far as any office is per-
manent in Venezuela The 'revolu-
tion"was like an opera bouffe to Mr..
Adams and other foreign observers.
Few believe that Castro will ever
return to Venezuela" said Mr.. Adj
ans. HE is really sick with liver
and kidney trouble, and, besides, he
must soon know that 1t would be fool
hardy to go back there now. He car
ried with him and sent out before he
started some $S,000,000 which he had
squeezed out of the country. .,
Castro is very unpopular with his
own people. He ruled for private
profit. In the nine years that he had
been president, so far as I could find
out, he put his hand upon every sort
of trade or enterprise out of which
money could be made, calling it gov
eminent monopoly and taking money
for 1t. Thus the necessities of life
were made monopolies and farmed
out, sometimes for political profit,
more often for private profit"

These were presented to the king as
an omen of good fortune. The gifts
became more pretentious as time went
on, and in later centuries some of the
Roman emperors demanded New Years
presents of great value from the
"magnates" of those days AS the
Roman rulers were gentlemen who
were not to be trified with, the pres
ents usually appeared on time after
notice to the wealthy was given.
1t was in Rome, too, that the habit
of masquerading at New Years ap-
pears to have originated. The custom
still observed in Italy now is confined
to the celebrations at the Epiphany
and at the carnival time.
FESTIVITIES OF THE DAY.
In some countries, notably in Great
Britain and in some cities in Canada
and the United States, the new year is
welcomed in by festivities on the eve
of the day. In Scotland, for instance,
it is customary to celebrate New
Years eve with some festivity, which
is prolonged until past midnight At
the stroke of y every enc present
wishes each other a Happy New
Year" The custom is also common
in many parts of Germany, where the
salutation is "Prosit Neu Jehr."
Similar to this custom are the re-
ligious watch meetings" held in some
of the churches in this country on
New Years eve. In England on New
Years eve, in some houses, curious
custom, or superstition. is observed.
At the stroke of u, which ushers in
the new year. the party. already wait
ing on the stairs, begin to ascend the
stairway backward, taking a step at
each stroke. Every step successfully
mounted means happy month, every
stumble a reverse. Of course, it Is
one of those playful superstitions
which are not taken seriously.
