The HoIdup Man In Mexico.

Now. as a matter of fact. life and
property are as safe in Mexico as in
Chicago, and ones life is a great deal
safer. Mexico has her plckpockets
and her sneak thieves, and burglars
are not unknown. but the holdup man
is an individual with whom the police
are not we'll acquainted. This cannot
be said Of Chicago, Kansas City St
Louis or New York. 1t may be be-
cause the criminal element in Mexico
lacks the bravery necessary for fol-
lowing the holdup's profession. or it
may be because the city is extraordi-
narily well guarded by police 1t GER
tainly is well guarded by the police;
but, 1t matters not what the reason is,
the fact is that the man who relieves
you Of your money in Mexico does so
In the manner calculated to cause you
the least inconvenience.-Mex Rec

A man who had stopped at stand
In Fulton market to buy fresh fish
pointed his finger at fish that pleased
his fancy. being about two feet long
and weighing about FIVE pounds
THAT looks like a nice FISH to me-"
he said, whereupon the dealer picked
the fish up TO put It on the scale
The moment be picked 1t up the fsh
began to wriggle, and the next mo-
ment 1t had slipped out of the dealers
grasp and fallen on the sidewalk.
AS the ish went down the customer
turned to the stand and picked out
another, which the dealer picked up.
and this flsh stayed quiet until It had
been put on the scale, but the instant
It touched It 1t began to dop vigorously
and finally Topped itself out Of the
scale pan, to fall on the stand below.
Goldfish these two lively and vigor-
GUS fish were, the cod being &edsh that

almost always be found The dealers
keep their stock in fish cars In the

and for retail trade bring over maybe
fifty or a hundred pounds at a clip,
enough to last half an hour OF an

they bring over another lot, fresh out

Haitians a Lazy Lot.

Sydney Brooks, writing to the Lon
don Chronicle about Haiti, says the
Haitians we're the first people in the
world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. G.
R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly,
says of Haiti: In that little republic,
covering about 10000 square miles,
within five days sail of New York, one
may encounter more strange complica-
tions and a greater disregard for hui
man life than in the remote coun-
tries Of the east. Situated in the
very heart of the West Indies, where
civilization exists in a high degree,
Haiti alone has kept her doors closed
to progress. She became an independ-
ent state more than 100 years ago.
Her rich lands we're already under cul-
tivation, but the lazy natives allowed
the plantations to go to ruin, and for.
ests have grown up instead"

Education In America.

Boardly speaking, the educational
systems and institutions of the Uni
ted States, public and private, en-
rolled in 1906-O7 in the neighborhood
of 100000 pupils Of all grades and
classes. About 20 per cent. Of the to-
tai population attended the common
schools for a longer or a shorter peri
cd. This percentage had been pretty
nearly stationary for 80 years In the
meantime, however, the average
length of the common school year had
advanced from 1870 days to a little
over $50 days, and the percentage Of
those enrolled who were on the aver
age in actual attendance each day Of
this longer school year had advanced
from 62 per cent. to 20 per cent

Young Bessemer Was Cautious as Well
as Inventive.
The most trivial incidents have often
originated the fortunes of our richest
men. Take, for example. the fortunes
made out of Bessemer steel This gen.
ius, young Bessemer. had some idea Of
making steel out of iron. but a poor,
newly married young man has no
means of experimenting on a large
scale. The story must tell as have
heard 1t from an intimate friend of
Bessemer and Is a true tale. Afte'
Bessemer had in his small laboratory
experimental with the metals and at
last obtained the desired result by
blowing air through melted iron he
found in the bottom of the crucible a
little lump Of the famous steel. Now
the question was how to make the
discovery public. He put the lump of
steel into his pocket and made his way
to Nasmyth Of steam hammer fame
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's desk.
he told him that he had made this ex-
traordinary discovery, which would
revolutionize the whole metal world
Then came a little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch financiers possess. What do
you think Nasmyth said to his excited
inventor?
''Eh, mon, it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is vary dishonest"
To which the aspiring inventor re-
piled:

lated whom | was coming to see, so

MISSOURI TOWN DESTROYED.
Eleven Killed at Golden and in the
Surrounding Country.

Cassville, Mo, April 30.-Eleven
persons were killed and twenty-five or
thirty injured, fourteen seriously. by
the tornado which destroyed Golden,

Kings river, five miles east of Gold
en-, whose names have not been learn
ed The entire town, with the eX-
ception of one stone building, was
blown down and the people there are
now without food or shelter. The
population was about 500.
Before those on the streets had time
to seek shelter the wind struck, hurl-
ing debris in all directions and razing
the town. The wind blew for three
minutes, after which rain fell in tor
rents and hail beat down upon the
helpless people. At daylight relief
expeditions FASTENED to Golden, where
aid was rendered the sufferers. A
party searching the hills along Kings
river found an entire family, consist
ing of five persons, dead, crushed by
the timbers of their home. Reports
from northwestern Arkansas say many
have been killed and that damage to
the amount of 100000 was wrought.

Usually speaking, comparisons are
odious, but there is no chance for
such criticism in respect of the two
public receptions held in Phoenix last
night, for almost the entire town joy
fully attended both, and each was
perfectly managed. The reception to
Governor Sloan was all that it ought
to have been or could have been and
is described particularly elsewhere
The dedication of the Elks' building,
comprising theater, club rooms, lodge
hall and roof garden, followed by a
public reception, was also all that it
ought to have been or could have been
and will be specifically referred to
here. The guests assembled at an
early hour and at 8 o'clock the audi
tOrium of the theater was well filled
for the dedicatOry exercises. On their
termination the entire four stories of
the building from sidewalk to roof
garden were thrown open to the pub

the top floor and the adjoining roof
garden over the theater, the garden
being resplendent with Chinese Ian

The dedication ceremonies were of
a ritualistic character, elaborated by
a program of music and speechmaking
of a most entertaining character. The
four stations of the lodge were ar
ranged on the four sides of the stage
with the altar in the center, the stage
being skirted on all sides by a wealth
of greenery, potted plants and flowers.
The theater orchestra played the over

grand officers performed the ritual
ceremony which included the building
of a pretty pyramid of four colored

VISITATION IN THE SOUTH.
Tornadoes Left a Path Of Mangled
Bodies and Dismantled Wrecks.

Atlanta, Ga, April 30.-An epidemic
OF tornadoes swept through the south
last night and today, leaving in their
wake hundreds of mangled bodies and
dismantled wrecks of property worth
MANY millions. At least 100 persons
are thought to be dead. An exact
list of the dead and an accurate es-
innate of the monetary loss may not
be completed for many days but from
all along the path of the storm come
tales of fearful loss of life, and whole
towns and villages were completely
wiped out.
The storm wave seems to have had
its origin in the north and swept from
the lake region south in an irregular
fashion. At Franklin and Hillsboro,
Tenn, there was much loss of life.
The latter town is said to be virtually
destroyed, while at Centerville and
adjoining villages damage is reported
very heavy. Near Pulaski the death
list reached twelve and many in
iured. The tornado followed the Cum
berland valley, wrecking small towns

A MEHMED GOES TO WORSHIP

Constantinople, April 30.-Mehmed
v, sultan of Turkey, clad in khaki
uniform and accompanied by a suite
of a half dozen officials of his house
hold, drove through Constantinople TO
the mosque of st. Sophia today. where
the new sovereign prayed for nearly
an hour. This simplicity is taken as
an evidence of the democratic tenden
cies of the new ruler.
His majesty entered through the
sultan's door which had not been open
ed in twenty-siX years, the last occa-
sion being when Abdul Hamid took
Rudolph, the crown prince of Austria
to the mosque.
The moment the sultan stepped out
of his carriage onto the red carpet
leading into the building, a priest in
a black robe cut the thrOats of two
rams. and the sacrificial blood flowed
almost to the feet of the new ruler.
