al Committee. Has been an intimate
and convenient understudy OF the Pro.

seems now to be in combination with
him in an attempt to shanghai the
Republican organization. His candi-
dacy is being actively backed by par
ties hostile to the Republican party
and having personal interests and pri.
vate personal grudges to serve. His
erratic and excitable temperament has
frequently led him to flood the col

upon the Republican party and vicious
personal abuse OF prominent Republl.

Born during the war Of 1912, a SOL
der in the Civil war; and interested
observer Of the Spanish-American war
and now Witnessing the revolution in
Mexico, Juan Quarone, testified in the
Texas-New Mexico boundary hearing
Friday that he was more than 100
years old and had lived his entire life
IN the southwest
The aged Mexican appeared at the
federal building Friday morning as
spry as any of his younger associates,
walked up the three flights of stairs to
The federal court room, testified all
cay before the commission and walked
back down stairs like a young man OF
80. Don Juan was a little hay as to
his exact age, qualifying any state
ment as to how many years he had
passed, by saying 100 more or less"
He testified that his father was killed
by the Apaches at Altos de QuarOne,
little settlement near the present town
of CanUtillO, at the time that seven
other settlers in the upper valley were
murdered by the maraudinE bands of
indians He remembered when fort Ma
coffin was built in FL PasO which, he
said, was about 1876 or 1S47 and said
that he was the first man to find the
peach tree at DurasnitO, below where
MOntOya is now located. He said that
he had eaten fruit off the original
reach tree at this place while going
from JuareZ-the FL PasO del NOrte-
to SocorrO, n. N. He said that there
were no houses between III RaSo Del
Norte and SccOrrO and that he was
forced to cross El tornado del MuertO
(the Journey of death) in New Mexico
to reach SocOrro.
At the time the Civil war broke out,
the aged Mexican said that he was
about so years old. He became a sol
der on the union side and was in the
third New Mexico volunteers under the
direct command of Capt. Laury and in
the regiment commanded by Col.
Abreu fought through the Civil
war with the union forces in New
Mexico and is now a pensiOner from
the government. He says his birth

at Country Houses

London, Eng, Feb. Aviation par
ties are the latest attraction at country
houses. The fashion was recently
started by the dowager duchess Of
Westminster at Combermere abbey,
where Gustave HameI was engaged to
give flying demonstrations. With the
exception Of the heir presumptive to
the dukedom, who was prohibited from
taking any risks, all the guests at the
abbey were taken for flights by Mr.
HameL
Another form of entertainment at
country houses, but one far less inter-
esting or pleasant, is practical joking
At present amateur burglaries are the
favorite pastime of these doubtful hui
morists.
At a house where king George was
staying recently, nitrate Of silver was
put into a glass Of punch which one of
the guests was about to drink His
majesty was considerably annoyed with
the perpetrators of this joke, and
