Previous to the seizure of Vera Cruz
by Felix Diaz. Senior Pereyra came to
the United States, and is known to have
been the accredited representative of this
revolving faction. The fate that over
took this venture prevented Senior Pc
reya from proceeding with any diplomatic
mission assigned to him.
Prescribed by his connection with his
lost cause, Senior Pereyra remained in
the United States, living in quiet and re-
tirement in Brooklyn, n. Y, writing for
the American magazines his views of the
situation in Mexico. He returned to Mex
leo following the overthrow of the Ma
deros His elevation to be assistant Sec
rotary OF foreign affairs was announced
from the Mexican embassy yesterday
Senior Pereyra has been publicist of
considerable following in Mexico. He is

than his wife. Sonora Pereyra was with
him in Washington and was one of the
bellies OF the diplomatic corps.

fort to secure accurate data regarding
the necessary expenditures of working
girls and women, the Consumers League
Of this city is having thousands of con-
densed account books printed and will

plants.
Members of the league, which already
has compiled much data regarding the
wages paid here. state that 1t is futile to
expect girl Onhand to give the details
OF her expenditures. The books, which
they hope will be kept regularly and re-
turned within a specified time, are ex-
pected to give much Information not at

Should the bill for a minimum wage
commission now before the state legisla-
ture become law the information Sc
cured by the league will be placed in the

Senior Don Carlos Pereyra, formerly
charge d'affaires and first secretary of
the Mexican embassy in Washington, has
been made assistant secretary Of foreign
affairs Of the government of Mexico. He
is an adherent Of the Felix Diaz faction,
and was. as a member Of the Mexican
house Of deputies, a persistent and out
spoken opponent of the Madero admins
ration.
During the presidency Of Porfirio Diaz
Senior Pereyra entered the diplomatic
service, and received appointment as first
secretary Of embassy in Washington.
Senior de la Barra, afterward provisional
president of Mexico to succeed the de-
posed Diaz, was then ambassador. Senior
Pereyra served as charge d'affaires dur
ing the absence in Europe of Ambassa-
dor de la Barra, and subsequently when
Senior de la Barra was called to Mexico
City to take up the burden of state that
eventually made him president.
Bore Heavy Diplomatic Burden.
Senior Zamaona succeeded as ambassa-
dor. Senior Pereyra served through his
period in Washington, acting as charge
d affaires upon his resignation and pend
ing the arrival of Senior Crespo, the sue
ceeding ambassador.
During the service of Ambassador
Crespo, Senior Pereyra was recalled to
Mexico City by the Madero administra
ton, with which he was not in accord.
He left the service and resumed his seat
in the national legislature which he had
abandoned, on leave of absence, to take
up the diplomatic work in Washington.
Throughout the Madero revolution
Senior Pereyra, in Washington, sustained
a heavy part of the diplomatic burden,
which consisted not only Of difficult ne
partment, but added the duties imposed
by the state Of civil war in Mexico. of
espionage Of disaffected Mexicans and
members of the revolutionary agencies
and juntas in the United States, and of
watching against impOrtations of arms,
of the established government, Senior
Pereyra's activities for the Diaz govern
ment which put him in Office, and his
known sympathies with the old order OF
things, fearlessly made public in articles
written by him for the magazines and
newspapers, made him marked person
when the reins of government were
taken over by the Maderistas.
Recalled to Mexico, Senior Pereyra had
good reason to fear that he would be
seized and cast into Jail. and perhaps
eventually shot. He dared to return to
Mexico his sole reliance for safety being
the constitutional privilege which makes
member of the national legislature i'm
mune from arrest. He succeeded in re-
Stunning his seat i'll the Mexican congress-
and in the shelter of that body took the
rOstrum with great frequency to protest
against the conditions existing under the
rule of the Maderos.

The sermon at the First Methodist
Episcopal church Sunday morning
was preached from the text. Thy
prayers and thine aims are come up
for a memorial before God. Acts
1914. fs
Two things with which God is well
pleased are mentioned in the text,
We build our piles of masonry, chiseI
our statuary or mould our bronze for
memorial. The memorial of the
text refers to the offering made when
the child of Israel offered the first
fruits unto God. To Cornelius 1t
meant that his offering had recogn!-
tion In heaven. There is a nice bal
ancc in prayers and aims. Some peo-
pie are fine prayers and poor givers.
Others are great givcrs and cannot
pray. One who prays to God Away
proclaims a belief in God as the
greatest of beings yet one able ana
