Put Under Bonds to Keep the Peace

t1ons, railroads and other Mexican
property. European money has poured
into Mexico in a similar stream.
OF course, no Mexican government
ever guaranteed the security or the
profitableness of such investments.
No government of any great power
would undertake to collect from the
Mexican people, as nation, money to
make good the losses sustained by
Americans making unwise invest
ments in Mexico. It is not a question
Of such compulsion.
But every power which has many
subjects who have staked money upon
the stability Of the Mexican republic.
the justice and solidity of the Mexican
government. and the general sanity
and regard for business obligations Of
the Mexican nation, will exert more
or less pressure upon Mexico If that
country should ever default as a na-
tion or encourage it's citizens to re-
fuse to pay their just debts. In the
aggregate these forces brought to
bear upon Mexico can be trusted to
have deep and wide influence there.
Such international business bonds
OF peace are constantly becoming moro
important in many parts of the world.
Every year the financial and CONNER
cial ties which knit the nations to-
gether Increase in strength. Always
the tendency of the times is toward
the creation Of closer international re-
lat1ons and surer sense of common
interest in the preservation of peace.

MADAME MERRI.
Jabot From Handkerchief.


The jabot made of half a handker-
chief Is a sensible and inexpensive
solution of the necktie problem for
the business woman.
Cut diagonally in half. the hand

extra trimming along its already
hemstitched edges.
Part of the finish being provided,
there but remains to be added the
narrowest of Irish lace edges on one
jabot and a jabot and delicate clung
on the other.
Pressed into shape, the jabot is
mounted along its diagonal raw edges
upon a small band stitched by ma
chine, and by this it Is secured be-
meath the turnover collar.

Old Fashion RexIxed.

The quaint, old-time handkerchief
or glove boxes made of glass and
bound with ribbon, by which the sides
and top and bottom were held in
place, are being revived and make ac-
ceptable gifts for almost any ami
versary. The glass can be easily cut
into any size and shape and the
boxes have certain advantage over
others in that they can be easily
cleaned.

Quotations for Halloween.

In the way of quotations for place
cards the hostess has a store of riches
from which to draw by consulting
Shakespeare or Burns. A few apt sen.
timents are given:
Fortune is merry
And In this mood will give US anything.
This day we fashion Destiny, our web
of Fate we spin.
There swims no goose so gray
But soon or late
She finds some honest gander
For her mate.
The iron tongue of midnight hath told
twelve.
When the stars shoot,
And the owls hoot
And bats fly in and out,
When the fire burns blue,
And the candle, too
Witches are about.
Double. double, toll and trouble:
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

whether the river is open or full of ice,
the season is for fun and pleasure, and

The bill to establish the Office of super

receive an unfavorable report from the
Commissioners.

Department, the Navy Department, the
Interior Department and the hospital au-
thorities is now working on a report to
cover all matters relating to the care OF
patients and the commitment of persons

ask the Senate to delay legislation until
after the committee reports.
The duties of the proposed superintend-

insane persons taken from the District.
The board of charities and the police
department now divide this responsibility

OYSTERS EXPECTED TODAY.
Shortage of the Bivalves for the New
Year Market Appreciated.

There were practically no oysters aboard
the large fleet Of oyster-carrying craft
lying at the 18th street wharf market
yesterday. but in response to telephone
requests from three oyster-laden craft in
the Wicomico river and at other points
the tugs Camilla and Carter left here
yesterday and will arrive here today
with the vessels. The boats. which are
small, have aboard about 1900 bushels of
the bivalves. These are all the loaded
boats in the river, and the dealers here
do not look for any other arrivals of
oyster boats until after the first of the
year. The shell fish were selling yester-
day afternoon at from 65 cents to 81 a
bushel. and the vessels that will come
in today will sell their cargOes at about
the same figure. 1t looks now as il there
will be a shortage of oysters at the wharf
for the New Year market.
