This town, whose name looks 90 un-

lates that she grew savage because
she was set TO guard the treasure that
Cuauhtemoc secretly conveyed to her
when the hour Of despair had arrived
for his people. though another tradi-
ton says that he selected that hiding
place because Of her Wild and bravo
spirit
However that may be, It was there
that he carried the royal jewels Of the
Aztecs and much gold and silver when
he knew that he was about to be de-
feated by Cortes. Calling up the Ma

and then went to his doom. Down
deep into the hidden grottoes Of her
home Malinche dragged the boarded
treasures.
Long passageways connect these
chambers and by many tortuous wind
ings reach either spring. The walls Of
rock crystal and chalcedony have been
polished and worn into fantastic
shapes by the running water. There
are long, narrow shelves on which the
treasure Is strewn and glittering sta

CHAPMAN CAUSES
ELIG|OUs WAVE
N NEW ENGLAND
Reached It's Crest Sunday at
Boston, Mass, When Thou
sand Men and Women Ac-
knowledge Conversion.
EVANGELIST FORMER
RICHMOND RESIDENT
Within Ten Days, Remarkable
Man Has Been Responsible
For Over 1859 Conversions
It Is Stated.

Remarkable scenes marked the re-
vival meetings held at Boston by the
Rev. ]. Wilbur Chapman. formerly of
this city. Sunday. In regard to that
meeting Boston dispatch to Phila-
delphia newspaper says:
Although the Chapman-Alexander
evangelistic movement has still two
weeks to run, the religious wave that
has been sweeping over Boston seem
ed to have reached its crest today
when, with scenes of enthusiasm as
are unparalleled in the history of New
England, more than 1000 men and
women acknowledged their conversion
and marched down the aisle of Ire
mont Temple to the altar.
At the head walked kid" Simms. a
prize fighter.
1t is difficult to imagine more i'm
pressive scenes than those of today.
That the meetings to come can be
more successful seems impossible. al
though DIR. J. Wilbur Chapman be-
lieves they will.
Churches Were Filled.
For only ten days has the revival
been In progress and already more
than $500 conversions are reported.
Twenty-three OF the largest churches
are filled three times day at stimuli
taneous meetings and at times the
downtown streets have been blocked
and the police reserves called out, so
great have been the crowds about the
church doors.
Never in all my life have seen
anything like it. said DIR. Chapman.
II believe it will continue. and If it
does, it will go down in history as the
greatest religious movement of the
world. Already think the work here
has been more successful than that
of any other revival in the world"
The meetings are held on plan
similar to that in Philadelphia. where
the evangelists met with remarkable
success.

Must Protect Birds.
The proposed agreement provides
there shall be no hunting for four
years except by the land owners or
lawful tenants or members of their
families and then only for rabbits or
squirrels. The owners Of the land
must agree to report violations OF the
game laws and to cooperate for the
protection of the birds.
II the game preserve is wanted in
this county, 1t remains up to the land
owners. The county clerk is willing
to do all he can to help the movement
along and has blank agreement at
his office to which the signatures .Of
the land owners are to be attached.

z. q. Hill Airs Views.
Mr.. E. G. Hill Of this city was the
first speaker. He considered the tariff
revision first and stated that he felt
on glass. and plants certain interests
were unduly favored. He advocated
that tarin commission be chosen
which would investigate the question
carefully and obtain the relative cost
Of glass and other products of Europe
and this country and adjust the tariff
accordingly. He declared that. the price
of glass had risen since the inaugura-
ton of the Dingley tariff bill from
$50 box to $3.50 and $500 a box.
Needs i Plants Tariff.
In speaking Of plants and the tariff
on them he declared that IL the tariff
was taken on he could not afford to
pay his men an average wage Of $12
a week because In Holland the florists
were paying salaries averaging s. a
week. The rose business which is
quite a large one, shouldreceive imme-
diate attention, according to Mr.. Hill.
He said that the protection on roses
at present was cents a plant. Under
the present tariff rates the Holland
ers able to wholesale roses at and 8
cents while the American growers
have to receive Z cents at home to
make profit. Mr.. Hill has been in
Europe several times and he declared
that England was leaning toward a
protective tariff. He himself advocat-
ed reciprocal tariff.
Mr.. Hill favored the postal savings
bank and referred to Germany and
pointed out how ideal the Germans
had found the postal savings banks to
be. He said he favored postal saw
panics less liable and also would bring
money into circulation now hidden be-
cause foreign born citizens distrusted
banks.
Jones in Opposition.
Sharon e. Jones took occasion to ex-
press himself on the parcels post He
said that this would prove the most
damaging law ever enacted for 1t
would result in the catalogue houses
reaping the benefits of the business at
the expense of the merchants. Within
three years the business OF this city
would decrease SO per cent. he de-
clared, and many business men would
have to go out Of business. Hardware
dealers all over the country are
against it. He advocated the revision
Of the tariff. especially on iron and
tin.
Horace Starr Speaks.
Horace Starr followed him, speaking
In the same vein on the parcels post
He declared the enactment
Of this law would result In the country
store carrying a barrel Of sugar and a
piece Of side meat and asked whether
any business man could exist with
such stock of goods The town is a
market place for the farmer and to
enact parcels post would be q vital

as to the business men.
s. e. Swayne and Albert Reid also
spoke on the tariff revision, favoring
the revision on iron and steel.

Fish spearing Season.

Senator Powers, of Angola, wants

may be speared. And he would allow
scavenger fish to be speared all the
year round. He introduced bill to
that effect in the senate yesterday.
