had constant trouble in operating our
tram cars and it was not until We got
action through our state department
here that we had assurances of peace.

however, with the years. and the last
year we had our worst time. The
city of Bogota, officially and numeri-
cally. got settled notion that North
Americans should not be running their
street railway.
"Then a section of this ordinarily
mild and somewhat captivating peo-
pie decided that we should not run 1t,
SO they impeded our cars and cried
down with us day after day. Again
the American minister interviewed and
the gendarmes and soldiers were call
ed out to quell the rioting. 1t looked
like war at times, when they were
drawn up In hollow squares. with mobs
facing them, but 1t was all quite as
harmless as South American rebel
lions usually are.
AT last the city of Bogota proposed
to take over our interests as We were
disposed to sell out to an English
syndicate. who thought conflict would
end IL the tramways were operated
under the British flag, SO to speak.
"All this was very well until it came
to getting the money. We demanded
cash. not very much, but United States
exchange. Columbian paper money
circulated ut about eighteen to one
measured in United States coin. How
to get SO much, all at once. concerned
the municipality more than it did US.
We were satisfied to remain and We
had no fear but that we would be ad-
equately protected. but SO long as the
city insisted on buying us out We
thought II was squarely up to us to go
on fair conditions.
They got the money somehow, and
here we are, out OF business there and
nothing the worse for our experience,
which was really interesting.
This much can be said of Bogota,
with all the criticism of tit has no
city debt and it's taxes are in conse-
quence low. The Colombians have
not quite understood the economic
doctrine that the more city owes the
better 1t Is for the city, which is some
thing we seem to understand thor
oughly here in New York. where such
things as interest on debts and cores
ponding tax rates do not concern us"

Fields Minstrels.
Al. G.. Field. the minstrel manager,
and the late Mark Twain were very
close friends. Many enjoyable occas-
ions We're appreciated by those who
were fortunate to be present when
these two humorists met, for they
were both SO original in repartee and
witticisms their friends present were
continually convulsed with laughter.
Mr.. Field met Captain Horace Bixby.
the old Mississippi river pilot who
taught Mark Twain to steer steam
boat, when his minstrel company was
playing in one of the Mississippi river
towns and gave the veteran pilot a
perpetual pass for himself and friends
to visit the Field performances wher-
ever he happened to be where the
show was appearing. Mr.. Field has a
complete set of Mark Twain's works
which he values above any other in
his extensive library. The Minstrels

Bama Girls is such as to give him an
excellent opportunity to show his abil-
ity as a comedian. He is assisted by
Miss Josephine Fields, a beautiful,
versatile young lady, and chorus of
six young and very pretty girls. The
musical numbers are all very catchy
