Former Bull
Fighters Museum

For 46 years the Corona family had occupied
the plain two-story house called Casa de Co.
roma on the Viga canal, in the dilapidated vii
lage known as Ell Puente del Jamaica. This vii.
lage is reached now by the Ixtapalpa electric car,
being the first step beyond the head of the canal,
and whatever of fame or interest it enjoys 1t
derives solely from the old house at the southern
extremity of its one street, the house of Corona,
which contains the bull fighters museum.
A morning is ample time for the trip, Lillian
Webster says in the Mexican Herald, and while
people from the four corners of the world have
discovered this museum, as the register reveals.
there G-e many people in the city who have
hardly heard of 1t; yes, to the lover of the quaint,
curious and historic 1t is certainly well worth a
visit. for Juan Corona during som 25 years was
gathering from here, there and everywhere a val
liable collection of curiosities. He was a Sunday
bull fighter and used to fight in the Bucareli ring,
which does not exist now, but every day in the
week he was a collector and a philanthropist,
who by his generosity and kindness endeared
himself not only to the people of his own village
but to all people with whom he came in contact.
He died Fl years ago. but his daughter. a kind.

white-haired s~pinster, and his four sons, with
their families, occupy the old home and keep ten
der watch over the treasures which their father
gathered with so much patience and expense dur
ing a lifetime.
One can walk down the corridors, on whose
walls great paintings are falling into strings from
age, al climb the stone stairs, where a comely
servant will greet one and show the curiosities,
or, better, let one look at everything to the
hearts content.
In the upper corridor there are a number Of
immense earthen jars which were excavated at
a point not far distant and which are valuable
samples of the work of potters of other days. In
one corner of this corridor there is a quaint foun-
tain and pool in whose walls are laid in mosaics
formed of bits Of broken glass and porcelain, the
whole ornamented with hideous stone Indian
idols. From the corridor one passes through the
household kitchen to the old one, which Is never
used and the walls of which are literally lined
from top to bottom with every class of earthen
cooking vessels, wooden spoons, forks and choco-
late heaters. Near by Is the dining room, whose
long table contains a quaint collection of vases
and dishes, while the walls are hung with pic
lures and painted porcelain bowls, in two of
which are the portraits of Macmillan and Car
lotta. There are dishes and plaques made by the
Indians of remote regions which even in this day
OF railway facilities are difficult to find. There
are tall "ollas" where soup for a regiment could
be made.
The dining room opens into the bedroom.
where, in a corner, stands the silver bedstead on
which Santa Ana died, it being deliberately
dressed with %hangings and covers of coarse white
lace. On the wall by the head of the bed is a
rare group of guns, swords and pistols. In an
other corner of the room stands an old-fashioned
four-posted bed which belonged to a lady in wait
ing to Carlotta, and at it's side is a hand-carved
leather trunk which belonged to the patriot HI
dalgo. Above the trunk is the carved ivory
handled rifle Of Miramon, bearing his arms and
name.
The daughter, in speaking of the school for
poor children which occupied a room on the first
floor OF the house for years, said: Eyes, my
father established the school and maintained it
for many years, In more recent years the teacher
was paid by the town government and three
years ago the school was moved by that same
authority to a house in the village Immediately
back of this, which is known as La Resurrec-
ton"
When asked about the sale Of articles of the
museum she said: Eyes, we have had some offers,
but they have been made principally by tourists
and have usually been very small, while many Of
the things here cost my father much money. For
example, the gun of Miramon and the cross of
La Musa Mexicana' each cost $500. OF course
many things were presented to him by friends
who knew of his interest in rare and historic
things, but" she added, ~tenderly, Everything is
very dear to us and We do not care to part with
anything"

a cap. This brigandlike being was in league
with the porter of the hotel and it followed that
the porter knew of no one more trustworthy and
scholarly as a guide to ancient Athens than Phi
lopoulos. The man, fortified by the presence OF
some others with whom he had scraped acquaint-
ance in the hotel dining room, blindly delivered
himself into the hands of this Grecian Philistine.

air Of proud independence. The man looked
the other way. The idea was holding tight. An
English girl, whom he had neglected to inform
that he was married, lightly touched his arm
and whispered, "You. must give him a tip-he's
so picturesque" At that moment the man lost
his idea. lie ostentatiously gave Philopoulos a
handful Of coins.
1t is all very sad, but the man gets along bet

things which he never patronized at home, but
now felt a feverish anxiety to indulge in, he con-
suited the head waiter at his hotel, to whom.
needless to say, he had not conided his VOW.
That functionary insisted that life was a blank
without a ride in a "caros," or sledge drawn by
Outlook, and a caros was accordingly engaged
ana the expedition set out, the sextant, brass
unoe and oil stained manuscript usual in explora-
ions being conspicuous by their absence. Dur
.fng the course of the perilous humping over the
stones the driver in the intervals of shifting his
oxen and greasing the runners held a conversa-
ton with him which might have been intelligent

the caros returned to the hotel, the driver held
up ten fingers and calculated, "Teen hunder

had forgotten every care but his VOW. He still
chung to the idea. He climbed down the steps
fnto the b~arge-like boat with the crowd, mostly
mountaineering Americans, and thought he
might investigate its Pharaohs and see if there
was anything in the story Of the plaques of Egypt.
When he did land, after having circumvented by
a blank and uncomprehending stare the head
boatmans insinuation that 'leetel mona" was a

quay and he found himself the center of an adj

audience, who all looked at the head boatman,
who shook his head. The man held up half a
dollar. Contrary to expectation, there was no
rush for his baggage. Suddenly the head boat
man, with a grave and impressive air, advanced.
~You give dolla-me half dolla-backsheesh eh?"
The man looked about him. The idea did not
seem SO precious. 1t was growing late. After

attorney. Mr.. Cuthbert then conferred
with the mayor. The result was that
the mayor personally warned those
VINO were reported to be violating the
law that they must cease to offend the
IaW-abiding people of Devils Lake.
Two nights later the faction led by
Dan Brennan made raid upon thir-
teen places suspected of selling LIQUOR
illegally. 1t was Immediately after
this raid that Mr.. Brennan was shot
in the fieshy part of one arm. AS a.
result Of the raid two and one-haIf
cases of beer were found-a quantity
so small that the raiders themselves
must have been both surprised and
gratifed.
1t has since leaked outythat the min
listers themselves were contemplating
raid on their own account. and that
the attorney general was TO have been
here when it took place, after which
he was to proceed in securing evidence
against the offenders. The governor
was privy to all these arnan gements
But when the Brennan raid came off
the plans Of the ministers were unset
and they ceased their efforts for the
time being. 1t was then that the gov
ernor and the attorney general realized
that unless they moved quickly thew
might miss an opportunity to share in
the glory. After several conferences
with the governor at Bismarck. Gen.
era3 Miller and his assistant started
for the sanguinary scene, determined
TO stanch the flow of booze and blood
WITHOUT further ado. Arriving here
they ttound the several factions Sleep
ing on their arms. Otherwise the citv
was quiet. General Miller opened his
headquarters at the Sevilla hotel and
for thet next few days had interviews
with many leading citizens. He was
in an anliable mood at first, but when
1T dawned upon him that he wasn't
making political medicine" for the
governor and himself as rapidly as
they hoped for, he opened his nouisi- |
torial court in the county building and |
called to his aid the sheriff and all his |
deputies, declaring that he would |
summon the entire population of the
county to come in and be sworn. Half |
dozen arrests had been made and. |
although it was easily established that
some of the men arrested had been

wise, the attorney general went on

more than hundred persons. Some
of these testified to having bought IL

torney general, gave the names of

and the attorney general and his as
sistant took their departure as unex-
pectedly, so far as the general public
is concerned. as they came ten DAYS
ago.
There can be but one explanation
for the abrupt termination of the ne
culiar proceedings, viz: Attorney GEN
eral Miller was simply called off by
the governor who came to realize
that, instead of being benefited--as he
had expected-hts political prospects
were, in fact, being injured; for. no
matter what the average voter may
think about the reprehensible bust
ness of blind plugging, he does not en-
joy being dragged before a so-called
court with no one on trial. and he
compelled to give an account, not only
of his own actions, but to tell what he
may know concerning his neighbors
and friends. In other words, the at
tempt of the governor to make votes
was having the reverse effect; il was
drawing votes away from him. No
one realizes this fact quite as keenly
as the governors managers here.
Another thing was the complaints
that originally reached the governor
having been instituted by the local
ministers, were not really against the
drug stores and supposed blind-pig-
pers, but against the existence of sew
eral houses of i'll repute, where Iewd
women were gathered. Although the
attorney general was here for more
than a week, he made no effort to Sc
cure evidence against the keepers of
these places. To have done so would
nave had the far-reaching effect that
t was hoped the movement against the |
liquor dealers would have.
So far as the Illicit sale of liuuor |
S concerned, Devils Lake is no worse |
.oday than it has been during the |
whole of the time that Burke has been
governor. What the ministers and |
many other good people objected to |
vas the houses Of i'll fame. but the at |
orney general during his recent stay
n the city did not call any witnesses
whose evidence might be used against
he keepers of these places.
