Commercial Juarez Stagnant.
Commercial JuareZ is marking time
to the music Of the war scare. NO
trains are running on the Chlhuahua
railroads, the street cars carry Oull
half loads. the Keno houses are only
comfortably filled and foul snelllnS'
the saloons are doing rotten business
to take the word of one skipper OF
gilded palace who lamented the 1acI
that but one of his bars was crowded
and that he was then only on MS "a
key of suds. The Sunday Dull IShI
failed to have q quorum despite the
WheeZe of the horn band which marched
through the streets out of step.
Little Military Activity.
Military activity is confined strictly
to the peOn who walks best IN front OF
the headquarters on JuareZ avenue, the
trio of SalaZaristas at the Monte Carlo,
nee POrfirio Diaz hotel, and a handful
of scouts who ride the hills TO the
west These scouts are the only pic
turesQue persons now playing In the
JUareZ theater Of war
They ride over the hills, silhOuetted
against the sky, dip into the folds OF
! the hills and reaper in canter FUR
Their away Just what their purpose IS
only they know for one man, at the
smeIter, could do all the scouting that
the entire band is doing with One-lentn
the effort. But il makes a picture TO see
I the lone riders out on the nils ana
MeNicans are heavy on the picture
