ton in January, 1905. Although for
merly identified with the conservative
or clerical party, Gen.. Reyes adopted
some of the principles of the liberals,
which aroused the bitter enmity Of
the conservatives. His most radical
departures from the policies of his
predecessors were the separation of
church and state and the establish
ment of capital punishment for trea-
son, which previously had been lightly
dealt with.
Before becoming president Gen.
Reyes had spent many years in the
military and diplomatic branches of
his country, one of his posts having
been minister to France. He is a
man of wealth, with large estates in
the province OF Cauca. Gen. Reyes
rendered distinguished service for his
government in the rebellions of 1885
and 1895.
Gen. Reyes quietly left Bogota
some time ago for Santa Marta, on. the
Atlantic seaboard, where he boarded
a steamer for Europe. At that time
it was reported that the general had
abandoned Office, and it was openly
asserted that his voluntary resigna-
ton from Office or revolutionary
coup was the only possible solution of
Colombia's political troubles.

Lined up side by side. like tents in
a soldiers encampment, the cars now
form camp which is maintained by
the Ethical Culture society of New
York as a summer retreat for it's
working girl members. From May
to October these girls are privileged
to enjoy all the advantages of the
camp for $3.50 week. ~
The matron in charge attends to
the cooking and superintends the
daily life Of the girls. A few girls
working their way through school and
desiring work for the summer are
chosen to help the matron attend to
the cleaning. The most substantial:
cars stand in row by themselves
and form the sleeping apartments.
Two cots to room is the average,
but if third is desired it is added,
although this makes the place pretty
crowded. g.. r.
The cars are Invested of wheels
and rest on firm foundation. Both
doors can be kept open if necessary,
as we'll as the windows, thus really
affording as much fresh air as
though the girls slept out of doors.
At distance another group of cars
comprise the kitchen, dining room,
pantry and storehouse. The kitchen
is as neat and convenient as those on
dining cars. "A street car is very con-
veniently transformed into dining
room by leaving the seats intact and
running a long table up through the
middle. Close at hand under the
trees stands the ice chest and nearby
cement sink with drain leading to
the stream below the camp. Behind
the cars are a croquet ground and
tennis court. s.... -
Throughout the clump of woods
that adjoins the camp hammocks are
swung, where the tired, footsore
shopgirl may rest in quietness. Not
the least of the charms Of this unique
camp is the creek that flows by it's
very doors. The clear, sparkling
water iss itself an Invitation for
plunge and the girls are not slow to
avail themselves of the privilege. The
water is not deep, only here and
there of sufficient depth for a swim,
but wading is a delight that never
grows old.

should he die natural death without

OF the present king of Spain. The

doubtless thus that he met pretty Miss

Savoyarde," the second largest bell in
Europe outside the two great bells of
Moscow, will be moved from it's tenn

of the Sacred Heart. The bell Is ten
feet high and weighs, without the
tongue, 10 tons The latter is so big
that it requires 16 men to move it for
striking.
The first time the bell was used it
cracked, and it has been rung only a
few times since. Once it has been
placed in the dome its sound will carry
to the most distant precincts of Paris
and to many points in the country.
