JOIN TO ATTACK
THEIR NEW F0E|
insurgents and Fsdsrals
Unite Against Magon.

Ell Paso, Tex, May PA comma
foe of federal and rebel has caused
orders to be issued from both the
Diaz and Madero governments to pro
coed against the Magon forces In Low
er California. For the first time
former enemies will be united against
the new enemy in an attempt to force
him to terms.
A message received here from Ernes-
to Madero, who lives at Monterey, says
that the town of Las Vegas near by
had been captured by the followers
of Magon, the Los Angeles (Cal)
prophet. Madero said that a detach-
ment of federals was marching on the
town, and he asked that orders be sent
q large body Of insurrectos in the VI
cinity that they cooperate with the
soldiers against the common foe, at
lacking the town side by side. The
rebels have been ordered to assist the
federals in any way possible.
Ernesto MadeTo, who made this re
quest, has accepted his appointment as
minister of finance for Mexico. He Is
an uncle Of Francisco and head of the
entire Madero interests in Mexico. The
entire cabinet has now been decided
upon. Besides Ernesto MaderO, the
others are: instruction publica Il bel
las artes, DR.. Francisco Yasquez Go
mez, former confidential agent Of the
revolution at Washington goberna-
cion, Emilio Vasquez Gomez, brother
of Francisco Gomez. Justice portfolio
was offered to Vasquez Tagle, a City
Of Mexico jurist, who refused on ac-
count Of Ill health. Probably a choice
will be made between Rafael Herman
DEE, a cousin of Madero, and Pine Sua-
rez, present provisional governor of
Yucatan and minister of Justice in the
provisional cabinet. Portfolio fOmen-
to goes to Manuel Calero, lawyer and
partner of Vera Estanol, present min
lister of public instruction in the Diaz
cabinet; communications and public
works, Manuel Bonilla, present pro-
visional governor Of Sinaloa, civil en-
gineer and journalist; war and navy,
General Eugenle Rascom, for twenty
years military commandant of the fed
eral district. For foreign relations a
subsecretary will be appointed by
President De la Barra and probably
will be Victoriono Salado Alvarez,
present -subsecretary and n of Mex
ico's most prominent men of letters.
Word has been received at the pro-
visional government capitol in Juarez
that Vice President Corral has present
ed his resignation to take effect at
once. The news was taken to mean
that the vice presidents resignation
was requested to precede that of Pres
ident Diaz, which is expected today or
tomorrow.
When President Dlaz resigns Senior
Madero and his party Immediately Will
leave for the capital to advise with
Senior De la Barra in the political re
organization Of MeXicc-MaderQ will

WILD ANIMALS AND CATNIP
Lions and Leopsrds In the Zoo Were
az Delighted With II as ls the
Domestic Cat

A curious Investigator and a few
sprigs Of catnip led to an amusing
scene at the zoo in Cincinnati.
The tigers and puma scornfully re-
fused to notice the herb when 1t was
presented to them by the keeper, but
the Hon, the lioness and the big leop-
ard were boisterous in their manifes-
tations Of pleasure. The lion planted
a foot upon It, smelled It., licked 1t.

in ways unbecoming his kingly dig

huge paw, took long and ecstatic
shifts and rolled over and over upon
1t in the exuberance of her delight,

part Of her head she performed aero
batic feats of an astonishing kind
From his experiment the investigator
was satisfied that love Of catnip is
not confined to the domestic branch
Of the cat family.

NAMING OF PENNSYLVANIA
William BIathwayt, Commissioners Of
Plantations, Suggested II 8s
Called After the Quaker.

When William Penn was asked by
Charles II. to name the new colony
over the sea he proposed the name
of the queen. William Blathwayt, the
commissioner of plantations. bluntly
negatived the proposal in the pres
ence Of the court, and suggested the
Quaker's own name as the proper one
for the vast territory that owed it's
colonization and development to him.
The king was not offended, but sided
with Blathwayt, and Penn himself
was greatly .flattered by the compli-
ment. Several letters on the subject
were written by him to Blathwayt

served by Blathwayts descendants,

The family name Of Blathwayt be-
came extinct through the marriage Of
the sole son of the line to a wealthy
Miss Winter, who restored the fallen
fortunes of the Blathwayts on condi-
ton that her husband adopted the
name of Winter. One Of the Winters
accompanied Sir Francis Drake
around the world as his vice-admiral,
and another of the family was a vice
admiral under Drake when he des-
troyed the Armada.

Beating the Postomce.

Here is a curious process by which
the French postOfice was beaten. A
wealthy merchant who refused to pay
an excess fee was sued by the postal
authorities and lost the suit. He re-
taliated by building a shanty in a re-
mote district of the Hautes-Alpes,
about twenty miles from any postofice.
and installing therein a shepherd, in
whose name he subscribed to the daily
Petit Journal. According to the terms
of the postal monopoly in France, the
department is bound to provide daily
service wherever required, and it
would have been necessary to engage
a postman solely for the delivery of
this newspaper, as no other house is
to be found within a radius of about
eight miles. The postofice, sooner
than embark on an expenditure Of
about s240 a year, consented to forego
