In return Deitrick undertook to pay
the Nicaraguan government a fixed
sum per annum, improvs the naviga-
tion of the Wanks river, and create
a town at Cape Gracias. This fran
chise, in spite of the temporary setback
sustained by the company as a result
of the adjustment of the boundary be-
tween Nicaragua and Honduras, by
which its operations were restricted to
the south bank Of the Wanks river, Is

1t is worth noting that the whisky
concession in the Bluefields district
was originally granted to Juan Estra-
da, the leader Of the rebel forces.
The BIuefieIds Wharf.
An incident which explains Zelaya's
methods may be appropriately related
heer. It is the comic-opera story Of
the wharf concession at Bluefields.
wharf was unquestionably needed.
but not the Kind of twobyfour affair
that was erected For his trouble the
promoter was to receive a large sum.
and TO get 1T by collecting a small fee
on every package landed at the wharf
OF course this arrangement was by no
means satisfactory to the Bluefields
merchants, ard they protested so Wig
orously that Zelaya was at length COM
PEELED to cancel the concession.
But as the promoter had done the
work, and was legally entitled to his
pay. something had to be found for him
So Zelaya issued a decree raising the
already heavy customs duties at Blue
fields. and assigned a part Of the pro-
ceeds to the builder OF the wharf. The
result was to put the price OF living
in Nicaragua up TO an aItitudinous
level, especially in Bluefields.
Before Estrada took up arms against
s1.40 a pound and tobacco for So. Es-
trada abolished the concessions on both
articles The price Of butter has drop
ped to 40 cents per pound, and tobacco
has cheapened propOrtionately.
Turn Against Zelaya
The concessions weighed heavily up
on ali the people OF Nicaragua-upon
Leon as upon Granada-but Zelaya was
not content Herewith. Arbitrary ar
rest of his enemies still further tended
to unite the mass Of the people against
him. For the first time in Nicaraguan
history the two rival cities found them
selves driven into alliance against thu
common enemy. At last even Zelava's
cleverness was unavaiIing TO keen Lib
eral and Conservative apart.
Here is the fact which insured the
success Of Estrada's campaign. But
that neither city has permanently bur-
led the hatchet is safe assertion. What

The men who dared to be singular,
who struck out into the new pathways
from the beaten rut, have always been
maligned, illuminated, vilified and per-
secuted.
Many of the heroic and self sacrifice
ing souls whose labors enriched the
world and made progress possible were
looked upon as madmen and no epithets
were strong enough to denounce them
for what was deemed their folly.
Columbus a Madmanf
Christopher Columbus was considered
a mailman when he conceived the idea
of reaching India in the East by sail
ing far enough west, but undaunted1y
he stuck TO his idea until he compelled
a hearing and finally was equipped for
his expedition. He would have reached
India according to his calculation, had
not the great continent of which he
was the discoverer interviewed. He died
a pauper and in ignorance OF the
mighty land he had opened to COM
merce of the old world. He toiled, suf-
fered, gave up his life to an idea.
James Watt Fanatic.
James Watt was regarded as a IA
matte when he first projected the steam
engine, or rather formulated a plan for
putting into practical use a power
which was known to exist from the
primeval age of the world. Watt was
a poor Scotch boy, the son of a stone
mason at Greenock, the seaport of
Glasgow The inception of the force of
steam came 10 him one day like flash
as he was idly watching the simmering
of the tea kettle. AS the force from
the steam heated water raised the lid,
jamie (as he was called muttered to
himself: Jamie, mon, there's po'er
there" Suddenly his mother, observ-
ing him, gave him a singing slap on
the jaw, exclaiming: Jamie, mon.
there's po'er there; was there ever sic
(such) an idle ne'er-do-weel as you
are?" Little the good woman dreamed
that jamie in his boyish brain was
conceiving the idea that was TO revolu-
tionize travel for centuries to come. and
commercially unite the nations of the
world.
Railroad Pioneers
Stephenson was another poor boy
whose only education was received at
night school which he began to attend
at 49, He is called the father Of the
modern railroad" His Rocket was
limited to nine miles an hour, but it
was the parent of the Flying Scotch
man. and the Empire State express"
At first our railroad cars. were loose
boxes, as unlike the modern compart-
ments on wheels as a laborer's cottage
is unlike the kings palace. but a man
came forward with an idea and soon
railway travelling was as if magically
transformed from a nightmare to a
pleasant dream. Today we have the
luxuriant Pullman cars. Pullman got an
idea about a sleeping car and he kept
revolving it in practice. He fitted up
two cars with berths on the Chicago &
Alton road and found a demand. Then
he went earnestly to work to construct
more luxuriant ones. After spending
