NEW TROUBLES IN
NICARAGUA NOW
MADRIZ NAMES ANOTHER CABl-
NET FROM ZELAYA ADHER-
ENTS-ARE BITTER.

Washington, July 21.-A new cab.
met has been formed in Nicaragua
according to cable advices received
here today from Consul Olvares a
Managua. Its personnel consists, with
a single exception, of adherents OF
Zelaya and men who were officials
of the former presidents govern
nIent. Consul Olivares strongly init
mates that the new ministry IS
likely to be unfriendly to the United
States.
The personnel of the new ministry
which was formed following the res
ignation of Minister General Chico
Baca, is as follows:
Ministers of government MaXimil-
iano Morales, sub-secretary of the
government unier Zelaya; minister
of foreign affairs and public instruc-
tion, Francisco Padilla, formerly a
minister of finance, but not under
Zelaya; minister of finance and pub
lie credit, Francisco Medina, collect
or of customs at Corinto under Eel
ava, and recently his personal rep
resentatiye in Paris; minister of
works, Leon Areagon, once sub-sec-
rotary of public instruction and
later on mayor of Managua. under
Ielaya; sub-secretary of war, Ben
iamin Zele ion charge d'affaires of
Nicaragua in Guatemala under Zei-
ava, and more recently secretary of
Julian Irias, commissioner of the
Madriz government with plenary
powers over the western half of
Nicaragua, now in command of the
gunboat Venus.
Zeledons appointment seems to be
the most significant in a cabinet
of Ielaya supporters. Mr.. OHvlres
advised that the new war minister
is bitterly anti-American and is the
author of a number of incendiary
articles against the government of
the United States and American in
terests in general which have been
published recently in the censored
press of Managua.

The Dowager Queen Touchy.

Queen AleXandra's nervous condi-
tion since King Edwards death is
worrying King George. She is irritable
to degree and most touchy on the
subject of her status in the land.
Contrary to all precedents, she has
continued to live at Buckingham Pal
ace, London, and to fly the royal
standard, the banner reserved for Une
monarch alone. When demonstrated
with she retorted that she intended to
fly the flag till one was provided of
a special design for her use. As to
Buckingham Palace, she is greatly at
tached to the place, and also to Sand
ringham, but she has no regrets about
Windsor Castle, which she never liked
any more than King Edward.
Size has been very angry, also,
about picture of herself published a
few days ago in an illustrated paper,
and seeming to have been taken quite
recently. King George even was de-
ceived, and asked the Queen mothers
companion. Hon. Charlotte Knollys,
to persuade her not to post just now.
That reused the widowed Queen from
her reveries in the palace gardens and
a frightened newspaper proprietor has
since been explaining vo!ubly that the
published photo was taken long before
King Edwards death.

Men and Umbrellas.

I'VE expect to have run on UNI
brellas Monday" said a department
store floor walker at a st. Charles
street boarding house yesterday
Why is it that a decent citizen
has to get soaked several tires
before he buys an umbrella? Why
is it? He will turn up his coat
collar, dodge in and out of door
ways and stick to the dry side
like a fly to syrup and allow his
new summer straw to be ruined
by rain before he begins to feel
the need of an umbrella. 1t is not
due to desire to economize. The
same man will spend just as much
on a two-pound box of candy for his
best girl. He is eXtravagant in
everything else; he wines and dimes,
and pays his bills like a dead game
sport, but when it comes to buying
an umbrella, you have to lead him
up to it and almost give it to him"
The answer to this Is not difficult.
The average man has as much trou-
bic in trying to take care of an
umbrella as he would in trying to
keep white elephant. Like the
fool and his money, he soon parts
with his umbrella, or some one
Darts him from II
1t Is safe to say that no umbrella
remains in the average mans pos.
session for more than a month. It
may be recovered from the frienl
who borrowed 1t, but its identity Is
more likely to be lost in the multi
tude of twins and triplets Of its
kind. OF course. there are exceptions
to this, and umbrellas have been
known to remain with some men as
as long as five or six months at 4
time. But It was probably due to
the fact that they were marked with
initials or in some manner that
might lead TO their identity. and this
is not considered the right treatment
for ones friends, who will stick
to your umbrella through thick and
thin. 1t is to them a sacred trust. /.
just as a godchild committed to their
care might be, and they would rath- /.
er part with the last hair on a fast .
clearing dome than to part with
your umbrella. But they will soon
part with it, for they, too, have
friends.
II is for this reason that a man
puts off the purchase of an umbrel.
Ia. He knows that he can not keep
it But if the weather man predicts
continual rain he is finally forced to
visit the umbrella department in
self-defense, with mental reserva.
tion that it is for the last time. He
asks to see the S. umbrellas. then
the 81 ones. and at last concludes
by buying one for S125 or perhaps
Csc. The purchase price has nothing
whatever to do with his income or
the state Of his finances, for he
feels that it is Just like throwing
so much money in the street, or Civ
ing it to his friends. Instead of that
he gives them the umbrella. or lends
