q Mirror of Events Transpiring In the
 Nelghboring Republic.

the disputed piece of ground lying between El PasO and the river Is to be settled by arbitration. The United States and Mexico have signed an agreement to leave 1t to 8 commission composed of one American, one Mexican and one Canadian. The only question is whether the river gradually wore over toward Mexico at that place, in which case the land would be- long to this country, or whether some flood cut d new channel, in which case the land would belong to Mexico.
 Mexican Herald: The officers of the Rio Plata Mining company have received information 10 the effect that the instruction in Chi huahua had interfered with the operation of the mine and with the shipping of it's product. The western part of Chihuahua, where the mine is situated, is in the zone of the disturbances; and the diff Culties of mining were further com plicated by the fact that one of the subordinate officials of the com paGy quit work to join the insur. rec A nists. Though it is eighty f. 4liles from the terminus of the KaEsas City. Mexico and Orient railway, the mining company has to depend upon that road to ship it's silver most of the way to the market. The production of the Rio Plata in November amounted to 69,372 ounces of silver, from 12 to l5 per cent less than that for the previous month.
 Mexican Herald: The decision of President Diaz in the Zacatecas- Durango boundary dispute was handed down yesterday. The text of the decision has not been an. nounced. This will end a dispute that has been in progress for forty. five years. Originally there were three states involved. namely Goa huila, Durango and Zacatecas. At the time the matter was carried through all the courts. The trouble between Coahuila and Durango was settled by General Diaz, who acted as arbitrator for the interested states. In that case the decision was in favor of Durango. The dis. puted territory between Durango and Zacatecas, however, has been pending ever since. Alter a con. siderable expenditure in the courts it was de ,ided to leave the ques. ton entirely in the hands of the president. It IS expected that his decision will be announced in a few days.
 Mexican Herald: Mexican rac- ing tables received three valuable additions last week when Enrique Welton brought Wire6eld, Gel larette and Guidarha from Juarez to this city. Mir. Melton spent some time at Juarez in looking over the past records of these horses and made his purchases only after much thought. Wire field is brown gelding three years old standing about fifteen hands. In the try out at Juarez just be- fore Mir. Welton purchased the animal he made the mile in 1 39 flat with 100 pound jockey up. Celleratte is brown mare stand ing little above fifteen hands.

 Fl Paso Times: A large force of workmen will leave Juarez over the Mexico Northwestern this morning to repair the damaged bridges and telegraph wires that were destroyed by the revolu
 tionists last Friday. Superinten- dent Rutledge will leave with the train and will try anu repair the telegraph wires d. he reaches them. Providing that the revolulionists will allow the repairing of the wires lhe line should he in oper aLion between Casas Grandes and Juarez late this afternoon. Mir. Rutledge states to Times reporter last night that he would try and meet the reyoluliunist leader at Guzman and speak to him in per son, and should they stale that they would not interfere with the repairing of the destroyed bridges he would put large force of men to woIk at once and that 1t would he only mater of few days be- fore trains would be running out of Juarez 10 Casas Grandes again.
 El Pas0 Times: A travelling man who travels through northern Mex leo for a well.known El Paso house arrived in El Paso yesterday from Chihuahua. He stated that he left Guerrero about two weeks ago overland in d Ii ght carriage bound for Chihuahua. He travelled through the disturbed district where fight ing had been going on for some time. He stated that between Ce. ITO Prieto and Pedernales he saw a number of dead federal soldiers, to put it more plainly the ground was covered with their dead bodies, and also a great number of dead horses. He said the stench from the dead was something fearful Also at Nal Paso the same con dition prevailed. The carnage among the federals must have been something awful, said he. The revOlutionists along the road told him that they had captured Ma varrO, who was seriously wounded, being shot through the jaws.

"THE LOTTERY MAN"

Rida Johnson Young's newspaper
play, THE Lottery Man." is an unique
conception, and serves as good stage
entertainment. 1t had its first local
presentation at the Illinois theatre yes
terday, matinee and night. 1t is a
Shubert production, and four compa-
MES are playing it in different sec
tions of the country. If any criticism
is to be offered of the play as present
ed here, it should be directed against
the absence of proportion in the per
sonnet of the cast. The three leading
roles are in the hands of people ad-
mirably adapted to the authors crea-
ton, but it would seem that the Shu-
berts are not adding to their prestige
by surrounding such competent per
formers with inferior actors. The
play, as a whole, was greatly enjoyed,
however.

DON'T Tell Destination.
KILLING THE UMPIRE.
II Is an Essential Part of the Great
Game of BASEBALL.

According to bleacher law, there are
three particularly justifiable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killed-first, If he sees
fit to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at
close point in the game; second, an
umpire may be killed IL he sends a
member of the home team to the bench
when the player in question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear of
ian umpire has no business to be
touchy); third (and this is a perfect
defense against the charge Of murder),
an umpire may be killed If he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing TO do with the case.
There is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun-
tries have tried baseball. but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball,
for baseball without umpire killing is
like football without girls IN the grand
stand. 1t simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king Of outdoor sports was indi-
Gated forcibly when in the fall Of 1909
the Detroit team made trip to Cuba
under the management OF Outfielder
Mcintyre. In the entire series of
twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares mines not one single OBJ
lection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to a decision of the umpires. The
Americans did not know what to think
of it-until they counted up the gate
receipts at the end of the series. Then
they realized that in their own country
1t is the delight in killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure in watching
the game that draws the tremendous
crowds through the turnstiles.-GeorgH

THE FAT GODDESS.
A Picture That Jared the Nerves Of q
French Art Patron.

A Picture That Jared the Nerves of q
French Art Patron.
NJ. Durand, n French picture buyer
of a century ago, had little wisdom
as a critic, and his ambition, COM
pounded equally of childlike vanity
and genuine benevOlence, was to figure
as a patron of youthful genius.
One of the earliest commissions he
bestowed was upon a young artist who
selected for his subject a scene OF
classic mythology. in which the as
sembled gods were depicted upon
Mount Olympus. When 1t was finish
ed NJ. Durand was invited to the studio
TO inspect it. His face clouded as he
gazed.
Young man." he declared, you have
not treated me fairly. 1t is true 1 do
not pretend 10 know everything about
art, but l am not a fool, and 1 know
that gods and goddesses should be no
less noble than kings and queens.
These people of yours are not even
aristOcrats! Madame, my wife, does
not pretend to be a fine lady, yet when
l put my two hands around her waist
it is by an inch only that they fail to
meet, and as for Juliettte, my daugh-
ter, she is as slender as a needle. Look
now at that big. clumsy woman in
loose gown who you say is queen
among the gods! She has no figure at
all. She is all the way down the same.
Pouf! Call her lady and a goddess
she who is without stays and without
waist, Nine and Mile. Durand would
make mock of her. your Juno! Pouf,
She is a peasant. pillow. a pig"
Nevertheless he was convinced by
infinitely tactful explanations that the
wasp waist was unknown in classic
antiquity, even to. goddesses. 1t was
with proud complacence that he finally
accepted the picture and the knowl-
edge that the sovereign lady of Mount
Olympus had never attained the heroic
compression achieved by Nine. and
Mile. Durand.

1.-THE ROSARY"

''In The Rosary which comes to
the Illinois theatre next Friday, Ed
ward z. Rose. the author of the play,
has taken an average set of people
and shows first their outside, then
deftly, subtly, with careful strokes
and a firm hand, he takes you within
the brains and mind of each charac-
ter" says the press agent. You
even see the result of their thinking.
II is like seeing first the results Of
electriCity-street cars running, tel
ephOne working, all the wonderful
effects of this mighty force-and then
being taken to the central power
house from whence all this energy
flows. And you see the effect of
thought upon the different individual.
One character is that of a modern
business man, a stock broker happily
married to a wife who loves him, but
his thought is wrong. He harbors
fear. doubt and unbelief in the good
that lies all about him. He loses all,
fortune, home. wife, even his own
self respect. How does it all end?
All, that is too long for me to tell
you, but this I may say, that he is
brought to a knowledge of the su-
preme law of lfe by a priest, a mod
ern priest, not of conventional stage
character. but a real man. big man
of faith, strength, conviction, whose
eyes see clearly and whose spiritual
power is the moving force of the
play"

A WHALE IN A HURRY.
The Truthful Mariner Tells How Fast
the Big Fellow Went.


the Big Fellow Went.
Sometimes you can put an iron into
whale and he won't splash on the
surface, but will start off like rocket
or perhaps will go right down and you
have to cut loose and lose your line
and irons" said the truthful old mar
liner.
I'VE were lying becalmed one day off
the Cape of Good Hope. By and by
we saw two or three whales coming
up to blow about two miles away.
THE captain called the watch up,
and a couple Of boats started for the
whales, which were lying still, as if
summing themselves. We raced with
the other boat and got ahead, for my
men were 1.-the and tough. and by and
by we got alongside of one OF the big
fellows. The steering oar was pulled
in, the oars were packed-that is, piled
in so that they couldn't strike the
water-then an iron was thrown into
the floating island.
The whale lay still for moment.
as if struck with amaZement that any
one should dare to touch him. Sudden
" he made up his mind what TO do.
He started OF like a locomotive, the
rope whizzing around in n way to as
tonish a landlubber. When the rope
was out we were rushing by the cap
tain's boat like mad.
"All we could do in that double end
ed boat was to sit still and see her go
through the water. 1 candidly believe
that we went at the rate of a mile
minute. and the water was a very
wonderful sight. 1t reminds me, now
that l think of it, of POe's description
of the interior Of the maelstrom,
where the water went round so fast
and was so black that it must have
seemed like a wall of polished ebony.
"The pressure downward piled the
water up on both sides of us so that
it seemed TO be at least three feet
higher than the edge of the boat, but
it couldn't run in, for we were going
SO fast it hadn't time.
Every ones eyes were blurred with
the wind, which seemed to be blowing
q hurricane against us. 1t looked as If
the whale would never get tired out
and we were going to sea at an amaz-
ing rate. The ship went away as If by
magic, and we had lost sight of the
other boat. Finally the line all at once
slackened.
THE whale hadn't stopped and. for
all I know. is going ahead at the rate
Of mile a minute still. but the iron
had come out
I'VE rowed back to the ship, and as
we came along the captain called over
the rail:
Where's the whale?'
"'Oh.' said I, the iron melted out, he
went so fast
"'Just what l thought said the cap
tain. and that night we all had plum
duff and g.''-Chicago Inter Ocean.

of overfatigue, however, is the most
complicated of all. 1t is so frequently
involved with other special problems
that no scientific study can be made Of
it without requiring a general study Of
industrial diseases and factory hy-
giene.
Then there are diseases due to indus
trial poisons. The International Asso>
citation For Labor Legislation asked
the Swiss federal council to take the
initiative in calling an international
conference to forbid by agreement the
use of white phosphorus in the manu-
facture of matches. Nine countries
have signed the treaty prohibiting its
use.
Lead Poisoning Dangerous.
The problem of fixing standards is
much more difficult in those employ
ments where no satisfactory substi-
tutes for Industrial poisons have been
found. This is notably true with re-
spect 90 workers in lead. In 1909
thirty-three deaths were reported in
New York alone as due to lead poison
ing But the number Of deaths re-
ported is no sufficient criterion for
judgment concerning the seriousness
Of an occupational disease. Chronic
poisoning, which lowers vitality and
causes untold suffering, is much more
serious.
At a time when compensation for In
juries received in employments is the
most pressing problem for labor legis-
lation, the question of occupatonal
diseases is also demanding considera-
ton. England in fourteen years ex-
perience with her compensation act
has recognized the principle Of COM
pensat1on for Industrial diseases. 1t
is established in several European
countries that a workman is entitled
to compensation If he is incapacitated
by q disease contracted in his trade
and due to his employment exactly In
the same way as If he had been dis
abled by an accident
