SAYS HE HAS BEEN OUTRAGED


 FORT DE FRANCE, April s.--Cipri ano Castro, former president of Vene znela, has taken up his residence, temp orarily at least, at this place. He ar. rived last night on the French steamer Guadeloupe, which sailed from Bor. deaux March 26, and he very willingly came ashore today, owing to the Brit. ish government s reefusal to permit him to disenibark at Port of Spain, Trinidad
 As the port authorities here had re- ccived no communications from the French government they permitted Castro to land without opposition, con- sidering him merely as a private in dividual. He was accompanied by his secretary, his wife and other members of tho party continuing oa their jour ney to La Guaira.
 Castro was greatly wrought up over the action of the British government, and when seen on board of the Quad. eloupe he expressed himself as having been outraged by the treatment as- corded him. He showed the utmost indignation at the action of President Gomez.

Rheumatism

Moro than nine our of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheuma
 tism of the muscles, due to cold or daml
 or chronic rheumatism. In such cases no internal treatment is required. The free application of Chamberlain,s Lin. iment is all that is needed, and is cor. tain to give quick relief. Give it a trial and sec for. yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and soreness. The medicines usually given internally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They are worse than use. less in cases of chronic and muscular rhcumatism. For sale by all druggists.

WILLING TO Help.

Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly
from rheumatic gout in his latter days,
and he walked Silly and sometimes
had to use two canes. He went one
afternoon to make a call, and he re-
NAMED quite long time, so long that
the horses got restive, and the groom
walked them up and down the street.
When Lord Pauncefote left the house
the carriage was not In front, and.
thinking there was some mistake in
his orders, he started to walk to the
embassy. which was only a square or
two. But he had twinges of his old
enemy, and the pavements were icy.
He was a large, heavily built man,
and he feared fall. While he was
pondering over his dilemma along
came young man in working clothes,
and the British ambassador, after a
courteous salutation, asked: My
friend, will you walk beside me and
help me home? 1t is just a short ways,
but ] am afraid Of falling. I shall
greatly appreciate it." The young
man looked him over and then said
thickly, "Old gent, / am pretty full
myself, but I'll do the best l can-the

Long Winded Preachers.

Dean Lefroy who expressed the
opinion that ten minutes is long
enough for Il sermon, would have met
with scant sympathy from some di.
vines of past centuries, says the West
minister Gazette
Thomas Hooker considered three
hours fair average allowance for a
sermon. though, ON one occasion, when
he was i'll, he let his congregation OF
more lightly. Pausing at the end Of
fifteen minutes, he rested awhile and
then continued his homily for two
hours longer. Cranmer's sermons were
each a small book when set up in type.
and Baxter, Knox, Bunyan and Calvin
rarely reached Lastly, my brethren +"
under two hours.
George Herbert once said: "The par
son exceeds not an hour in preaching,
because all ages have thought that a
competency" but a certain rector of
Bilbury, Worcestershire, was of an.
other opinion, for he never sat down
under two hours. The squire, we
learn, usually withdrew after the text
was announced, smoked his pipe out

The FEMALE
FASHIONS TODAY

Those who saw the Easter hats on

or noticed women's headgear in the
show windows the past couple of weeks
must have been struck with the grotes-
QUE styles. The mushroom and Merry
Widow hats of other seasons have col
Elaborated to do their very worst, and
the result is a huge straw frame,
sparsely decorated with garden fruits,
and looking sometimes like an invert-
ed peach basket, kettle or coal scuttle,
but more often like the back OF
tortoise. And, as the New York Mail
remarks, the sheath-like direotoire
gowns Of fiimsy material, ,insufficiently
bulwarked with petticoas, rob, or seek
TO rob. the bodies of their wearers of
every truly feminine line. Their ef-
feet is 'skimpy," and the mingled
suggestion of lankness and limitation
is just the sort that in stage carioat-
ures of crudely berd country girls
evokes the laughter Of metropolitan
audiences. Nothing in the appearance
of the woman dressed in the height OF
fashion suggests that it is ever the
function of her sex to bear or nurture
children. The prediction for powder
one sees, even in the afternoon parade
along Fifth avenue, says the Mail, is
still another denial of the bloom and

and lank limbed, these women of the

Great is the power of fashion that
can bring such things TO pass. Great

psychic effect, of fashion. After one

The Devilhsh In Action.

A naturalist who observed devil
fishes in action says that he thought
no more diabolical creature could be
imagined They resembled enormous
bats and In following one another
around in d circle raised the outer tip
of one of the long winglike fins high
out of the water IL a graceful curve.
the other being deeply submerged.
They might be seen now gliding down
with a flying motion of the wings,
sweeping, gyrating upward with q
twisting vertical motion marvellous in
its perfect grace; now they flashed
white, again black, so that one would
say they were rolling over and over,
turning somersaults. While swimming
along the two great arms or feelers of
the devilfish are whirled about in
constant motion, like the tentacles Of
a squid. When these tentacles come
in contact with anything they close
upon 1t. 1t is generally believed that
this clasping, although at times doing
considerable harm to fishermen and
their boats, is largely automatic and
that, upon the whole. the devilfish is
timid rather than a fighter.

First cantalever Rridne.

The first cantalever railroad bridge
is the one across the Firth of Forth at
Queens Ferry, Scotland. 1t is nearly
one and half miles in length Fifty
one thousand tons of steel were used
in its construction, employing as many
as 5000 men at one time. 1t cost $16,-
100000 and fifty-siX lives. The work
men began at either end and worked
toward the center. When they met
and undertook the last connection it
was found that the two ends lacked n
small fracion of an inch of reaching
far enough to allow the insertion OF
the bolts that We're to complete the
span. For a time this was Il puzzle,
but was finally solved 10y an ingenious
workman who suggested expansion by
artificial heat, and it was forthwith
supplied by means of burning Kerosene
oil under the steel girder.
