Victory Confirmed

Ell PASO, Tex. March 2s.-Out of the
mass of contradictory matter coming
from the City of Mexico and from the
rebel front at Jimenez today only one
fact emerged clearly-that the rebels
during the last five days of fighting re-
treated first from Escalon to Corralitos
and then from Corralitos to Jimenez.
Last night no press dispatches got
through from Jimenez, and the essen
tial purport Of those which reached
here today was that there was fighting
at long range three miles from Jimenez
At o'clock tonight Alberto Madero,
uncle Of President Madero stated that
the federals occupied Jimenez after S
o'clock this morning
At 10 o'clock tonight the Maderiastas
were not in communication with Jimi-
neg. but, on the contrary, the rebel
operator at Juarez was working away
In ordinary fashion. He said he was
talking with Jiminez, and there were
no federals there
This conversation supports the last
dispatches to the effect that the rebels
were victorious.

WASHINGTON. March 26.-The sub

the San Francisco mint item has not
yet been submitted to the full commit
tee and will be held up for a while. 1t

preparation bill are out of the way.
The subcommittee. controlled by
Burleson of Texas, has made several
radical cuts and 1T is anxious TO pre-
vent discussion in the full committee.
The plan is to push the subcommittee
draft of the bill through the full COM
mittee and report it to the house and
pass it under whip and spur before
combinations can be formed to force
amendments

How Rain Rores Holes,

when rain falls it does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
in, forming tiny tubes" says an inter-
esting article in Harper's Weekly.
these tubes are SO small that 1t
would be impossible to insert a hair
In n of them without bursting its
walls. Sometimes the tubes are bored
down to a depth Of four or five feet.
When the surface dries, the water
e%vaporates from the tubes, just as it
would from a pipe. If the tube is twist
1t takes longer for the water to
II n takes a rake and
stirs the ground after each rain, he
breaks the tops of the tubes, and the
water will stand In them for months.
In this way the farmers of the west,
on the semi-arid lands, store the rain

every other year-there being sufl-

MOST HANDSOME OF ANIMALS
Body Stripes Of the Zebra Might Have
Been Designed by
Draughtsman.

The zebra is, perhaps, of all quadru-
peds the best made and most beautiful
clad by the hand of Nature. To the
figure and graoes of the horse, 1T adds
the elegance of the stag; and the black
and white bands with which it's body
is ornamented are arranged with such
wonderful symmetry that we might al
most be disposed to imagine that rule
and compass had been employed in
their formation. These alternate bands
are narrow, parallel and exactly sep
arated. They extend not only over the
body, but the head, thigh and legs and
even over the ears and tall. They fol-
low so exactly the contour of the diff
ferent forms that they exhibit the en-
tire figure in the most advantageous
point of view. In the female these
bands are alternately black and white.
In the male they are black and yellow,
but always Of a lively and brilliant tint.
They also rest upon a ground Of short,
fine and copious hairs, whose luster
considerably augments the general
beauty of the colors.

DID BUSINESS IN MILLIONS
But at Close of the Days Proceedings
Bankers Couldn't Produce
$40 in Currency.

One discovers more different sorts
of odd things in New York than any
where else in the world. For example,
writes the New York correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Times-Star, there is
q banking house downtown which oc-
oupfes almost an entire floor in N
OF the most exclusive business struct-
ures This banking house handles
nothing but big business. Nothing
less than a 81, 900, 900 transaction can
secure the attention OF the senior
partners. They rather fancy taking
complete charge OF a great bond is
sue, which gives their letter writers
almost free rein in tying ciphers to
numerals. About the time the MAJ
ket closes a feet OF honking motor
cars fills the street beneath, waiting
for the various partners to home,
John" The other day a man came
in with a $40 due and payable, ad-
dressed to one Of the juniors.
And l wish you'd let me have the
currency" said he. I'm off for the
seashore and need a little change"
The Junior partner said. Certainly"
And went through his pockets. He
had less than "A. He walked into the
glass partitioned room inhabited by
the next Junior with q request for
cash. The next junior had $11 and
was On his way uptown. The junior
partner tried the seniors. None was
in. Then he called the head clerk and
asked him to cash = check for the
sum.
Sorry, sir" said tho head clerk,
"but there isn't $40 in the vaults.
So that a boy was sent to a bank on
the street level and the money OBJ
tanned. The explanation is, Of course,
that such al establishment has nc
need for actual cash in the transac-
ton Of its business. But 1t is rather
queer that a banking house OF such
should be stumped for $40.
