That the revolution in Nicaragua is
finally nearing an end is indicated in
cable reports received In New Orleans
from Managua and other Central
American points by not only the SYM
pathizers of the revolutionists, but by
those Of Madriz and agents of com,
mercial organizations and steamship
lines as we'll
For the first time since the revolu-
ton started, advices received by both
sides, as well as by disinterested par
ties, were practically the same. They
are to the effect that the Madriz gov
eminent troops have met with serious
reverses almost at the very gate of
Managua, the capital city; that Gran
ada had been captured by General
Luis Mena with an insurgent army;
that the inhabitants of the interior
are flocking to the standards of the
revolutionists, and that Madriz has
been succeeded in the presidency by
Jose Estrada, brother Of Juan Estra-
da, head of the provisional govern
ment set up by the insurgents.
Whether Jose Estrada will be per-
mitted to retain the presidency If the
revolutionists succeed in taking Man
aqua, appears to be matter of doubt.

of weeping. which. If we are to accept
the testimony of French naturalist,
Is q manifestation of emotion that is

1t is said that the creatures that

that 1t has given rise to trivial but ac-
curate expression, ito weep like a

weeps, and we are also told that the
bear sheds tears when 1t comes to a
consciousness of its last hour. The
giraffe is not less sensitive and regards
with fearful eyes the hunter who has
wounded it. This animal also weeps
through downright nostalgia. Dogs
also are held to be lachrymose, and
the same holds in the case of certain
monkeys. Sparrman states the ele
plant sheds tears when wounded or
when it perceives that 1t cannot es-
cape.
Aquatic animals, too, 1t appears, are
able to weep. Thus, many authorities
agree, dolphins at the moment Of
death draw deep signs and shed tears
abundantly. A young female seal was

The police at Mattawan, N. Y, are
hunting for some clue to the identity
of an automobilist whom they charge
with killing the 3year-old son of
George Verdi, well-to-do farmer.
The child was playing by the road
side when the automobile whizzed by.
A projecting bolt caught his clothes
and he was dragged beneath the
wheels, which passed over his body,
killing him instantly.
According to the police, the driver
stopped his car, picked up the baby's
body and threw it over a low fence
into a lawn beside the road,
Persons in a cross street, too far
away to identify the automobilist, saw
him stop his machine, pick something
from the road and toss it aside. They
thought it was trifing obstruction
of some kind and paid no particular
attention. A few moments later the
baby's body was found on the lawn.

are securing the country for Otto
Schultze, the young German wanted
in connection with the murder of Mrs.
Freida Castine, whose body was I'M
earthed from a shallow grave by q

Some Of the police and deputies are
inclined to believe that Schultze, with
$4,000 thought to have been stolen
from Mrs Castine, has sought to enter
Mexico by way of the Arizona border
or through FL Paso.
A full description Of the fugitive has
been telegraphed abroad. According
to the description Schultze Is between
20 and rs years Of age, five feet, eight
inches in height Of medium build,
wears light mustache and has
florid complexion.
A curious feature, following the MUIR

were on their way to ranch near the

ROOSEVELT AND REV YORK.
Former President Says He'll Take No
Part In State Campaign.

A dispatch from New York says:
Colonel Roosevelt made it clear to his
friends that the reports to the effect
that he did not intend to take any
part in the coming state campaign
were well based.
AS the colonel put it, he did not
think he had been encouraged to take
an active interest by the action of the
state committee in turning down his
name for temporary chairman to the
convention. His close friends are the
authority for the statement that Col
onel Roosevelt has never indicated by
the slightest word what his intentions
are with regard to 1912. The colonel.
however, has always said that he re-
serves the right to engage in any
situation at any time, whenever he
feels that his policies demand it.
