Secretary Of Agriculture in 1897 and re-

Secretary Of Agriculture in 1897 and re-
appointed him to tho same post in 1901.
Wilson has been in the Cabinet more
than twice as long as any other member
The next Cabinet will he the first to be
without the services OF Tama Jim since
Mckinley took the oath Of Office. Secre-
tary Wilson'S troubles with DR.. Wiley
over the pure food bill and its enforce
mont, and with Congress over the Florida
Everglades scandal have about marked
the end of his political. or at least his
Cabinet. life. But sixteen consecutive
years of Cabne, service is a record OF
which any one might be proud. and it is
doubtful If i. will be equalled in the near
future.
In the spring OF 1897 there came to
Washington young man. a graduate OF
Yale and George Washin gton universities,
who applied to Senator Cullom Of Illinois
for aid in obtaining diplomatic appoint
ment with the legation in Toxic. Senator
Cullom, in telling the story. says:
This youni, man drifted into my Office
one morning. attired in a frock coat silk
hat. checked trousers and pearl gray
spats. He said he wanted to go to Japan
an a Secretary to the Legation ahd desired
that l aid him to attain his amb ton.
After looking him over I replied that I
didn't think could do anything for him
at TINT time. but TO come back later.
.The next thing l heard Of him was
when he was appointed Second Secretary
at Tokio-and he secured the place with
ont a particle of political influence too
But then any young man who had the
coura Ce to come TO Waahing gton dressed

Then he decided to turn his talents toward
world diplomacy His appointment to
Toxic followed on May {. 1897 and he was
promoted to be Secretary Of the Legation
in 1900. When the legation was pro-
NOTED to the status Of an embassy Wilson
went up to the rank of Secretary of the
Embassy and successfully managed a
number Of diplomatic problems which
presented themselves.

the message of Acting Governor Au-

leo and his native state of Chihuahua.
The message was photographed to all
the Jefe politicos of the state, and
created a sensation among the Mex
lean and American population Of the
state.
The meditation of the American
army means the invasion of Mexico,
Governor Gonzales says in his fire.
brand message.
"The hand of the oppressor is press
ing hard upon your brow" he contin-
ued, land will brand all true Mexi-
cans as slaves unless they resist the
foreign power. The attitude of the
United States toward Mexico is one of
lordly master toward an abject
slave.
"The manhood of Mexico demands
its resistance by all possible means.
Mexico has lost, or is losing, its iden-
tity as a nation among nations. The
Americans are attempting to control
the business affairs, the politics ant
the economics of Mexico. Unless re
sistance is shown at once, Mexico will
be but dependency of the United
States"
The proclamation amounts to cal
to arms to resist an American invas
ion of Mexico and has caused con
sternation here as we'll as across tn

OPIUM TRADE IS BETTER.
Chinese Flagrantiy Violate Law Since
Outbreak OF War.

Pekin - One unfortunate result of
the revolution has been revival of
opium consumption. A flip was
given to the trade when Kuang- tung
and Yunan joined the movement, and
proclaimed their independence. These
two provinces, with Szechuen, were
the largest consumers of opinum in
the empire, and the suppression Of
poppy cultivation and opium smoking
was keenly resented by good number
of the inhabitants.
AS soon as the authority of the i'm
perial government was thrown over
board there was evidently reaction
among those addicted to the habit.
Even before the revolution, and in
spite of the stringent rules, there is
reason to believe that opium houses
continued to flourish secretly. Now il
is said that they have begun to carry
on their trade publicly in Canton anC
in other places, the bad example once
set being quickly followed. Owing t.
the suppression of poppy cultivation
enough local opium is not available
and the foreign article is in great re
quest. Prices have risen and clear
ances in Hongkong and Shanghai ar
very satisfactory from the trade poin
of view

Paris-Francois Reichelt, aged 35,
a ladies' tailor, was instantly killed
here when parachute which he had
invented failed to work as he jumped
from a stage of the Eiffel tower,
nearly 200 feet from the ground.
Reichelt had been working two
years on his invention, which he in
tended for use by aviators when aero
planes began to tumble because of ac-
cidents.
The parachute was made of silk and
was attached to the back like SOL
dier's knapsack. 1t weighed less than
20 pounds. Reichelt assembled to the
first stage of the tower, which is
about 1877 feet from the ground. He
placed table near the edge facing
the Seine and got ready for the jump
while a crowd of reporters and cine
photographs awaited him on the
ground.
Reichelt jumped out from the table
with the parachute on his back. Fol-
a second it seemed as if the parachute
was about to open in accordance witt
the theory of the inventor, but il
shrunk together again and he fell like
stone, striking the ground in less
that four seconds. He was picked al
dead. His legs and spinal column
were broken and his body made a holt
several inches deep in the frozel

TYPHOID GERM IN ICE
MOST OF THEM ARE DESTROYED

Some May Survive, However, and EPi-
denies of Fever Have Been Traced
to Use of Polluted leo.

II may be of interest to those who
are In the habit of putting up their
own Ice for summer use from near
by pond, or stream, to know that the
use OF ice is not so dangerous as the
use of the water from which 1t Is
formed. SO far as typhoid fever is
concerned. Although the typhoid fever
germ, and the germ OF diphtheria, as
well, can withstand temperature OF
$40 degrees F. below zero. for several
days, experiments with ice made from
polluted water have shown that when
the water freezes, the majority OF the
typhoid organisms are soon destroyed.
However, the few that do survive, die
of slowly. and 1t is these few that
outliye their fellows that have been

few cases. According to Parke. not

Money Provided for Expedition to

San Francisco-That the failures of
adventurers of the past to find hidden
loot of bygone buccaneers amid the
enchanted isles of the South coast and
coral reefs of the South seas, fails to
discourage persons with belief in the
legends of wealth, became apparent
when another story of contemplated
expedition leaked out here.
James Morton, just arrived from
Topeka, Kan, is searching among the
hulks of Oakland Greek for the sort of
craft he thinks he needs to carry on
search for millions.
Morton said that the money already
was provided for the undertaking and
all that was needed was schooner or
barkentine capable of holding supplies
and possessing accommodations for
the score of men who will make the
trip.
He refuses to divulge the nature of
the princely fortune which will be
brought into port several months after
the vessel sails from San Francisco,
but admitted that it was of immense
bulk. In weight it would amount to
several hundred tons.

steer has proved disappointing In the

always, scanned with small veins OF
fat which are dilated by cooking into
tough strings. Hence, the range-fed
steer, not nursed into prominence, af-
