Especial CorresDondence.1

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Fall,
of New Mexico, an authority on Mex
lean affairs who has been bitter in
criticism of the policy of the admin
istration in Mexico. is one of the sem
ators who is much stirred up over the
! men near Chihuahua. Senator Fall in
an interview gave his views on how to
deal with the situation. He would
have large army of volunteers sent 10
Mexico and at one and the same time
train an army and compose Mexico.
He said:
There +. only one practicable
method of handling the Mexican stu
alton, altho l have small hope that it
will be adopted. A joint resolution
should be passed authorizing the pres
ident to use the land and naval forces
and to call for 100000 volunteers Toy
the purpose of keeping open lines of
communication between Mexico City
and all ports and the border of the
United States; for the protection of
American lives and property in Mexico
and thirdly. for the protection of the
troops should not be used for the pur-
pose of fighting Mexican bandits.
/ Should Organize Mexican Army.
On the contrary, the United States
should require the Mexicans them-
selves 10 organize an army Of $4,000
men. under Oregon, Gonzales, villa
or whom you please-that is not the
important point. These Mexican troops
should hunt down every bandit in
Mexico, and we should say to the Mex
lean people: We do not want your
territory and will not take il. We will
withdraw our troops and let your
country alone the moment you can
show us that every man who has
taken up arms against Your army
has been disarmed. We will now rec
ognize such a government as you may
set up, confident that whatever its
charac:er-which is no concern of ours
it will be able to maintain itself
against all attempts at revolution.
These 100000 troops should be
placed Immediately under military dis
cipline and trained in the face of the
enemy. We coald teach them more in
q month under those conditions than
| We could in a year in training camps
! in time of peace. The president should
be empowered also, at the end of thi.
service, or perhaps at the end of a
year, TO enlist these 100000 men, or as
many OF them as were willing to join,
into the regular army of the United
States. We would then be killing two
I birds with one stone and doing it in
the most effective manner. We would
| take the only step that will bring per-
| manent peace in Mexico and at the
same time would organize an army
| that could be OF use to us in any
| other emergency that might arise. 1t
| viii be exceedingly difficult for us to
| raise a large army in time Of peace, but
/ enlistments would pour in at a pros
| pect of actual service in Mexico. l have
| urged this course upon the president
! and upon every one else" continued
! Senator Fall, but so far no one ap-
| pears to have the courage or the initi-
! ative to adopt It,"

The Idea Didn't Work.

The COMMUNICATIVE of a corps
was much troubled about the persist
ent untidiness Of one of his men. Rep
rimand and punishment were unavail-
ing. The man was incorrigible and re-
manned as dirty as ever
A brilliant idea struck the colonel.
"Why not march him up and down
the whole line of the regiment and
shame him into decency?"
1t was done. The untidy warrior was
ordered to exhibit himself and march
up and down the entire regiment, and
the men to have a good look at him.
The unabashed Pat halted. saluted
the colonel and said in the hearing of
the whole corps, with the utmost sang
froid.
"Dhirtiest regiment I liver inspected,
sorr." ~

No Chance For Him.

A man was tried before a judge for
horse stealing, says Harper's Magazine.
When it came time for the lawyers on
both sides 10 tell the judge what in
slructions they wanted him to give
the jury in addition to the points COW
cred in his own charge, the attorney
for the defense said:
Il respectfully ask your honor to
charge the jury that it is a fundamen-
tai principle Of law in this country
that it is better for ninety-n!ne guilty
men to escape than for one innocent
man to be found guilty"
Yes, that Is true said the Judge,
refiectively, land so I instruct the
jury: but will add that it is the opin {.
ion of the court that the ninety-nine
guilty men have already escaped"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-So great
has been the demand about the coun-
try generally for live fish to restock
lakes and streams, that the United
States bureau of fisheries, in the de-
partment OF commerce, has placed a
new all-steel tank car in service. 1t
was constructed at Wilmington, DEL,
and sent to Washington for examina-

. DAVID HARUM"
OF MAINE, GOES
TO HIS REWARD
Friends Say He Never Was the
Loser in a Single Horse
Trade.

PENNINGTON, Me-, Sept. 16.-
James Withee, who died here recently.
aged 70 years, and who is survived
by widow and two children, was ia
nous throughout New England and
widely known all over the state OF
Maine as q hotel landlord and horse
man. He was a native Of the town
OF Winslow and had conducted hotels
and livery stables in Watervllle, lew
iston, Rumford Falls and Pennington.
Mr. Withee was almost the last OF
the older horsemen in Maine and was
known MS character in every county.
One OF the statements often made
about him was that he was never
beaten in a horse trade. In spite of
this he had hundreds Of friends, and
old-time dealers, never made an enc
my. II any one was inclined after a
trade to take exceptions, the veteran
dealer would joke him out of any
unfriendly state of mind. All of his
horse trades ended in a laugh.
His judgment on horses was re-
markable, and men in the old days
would come many miles to consult
him. He was a very large man physi-
cally. and his hearty laugh was known
from one end of the state to the
other. For nearly half century he
was familiar figure at all the county
fairs.
He always went by the name OF
"Jim," and no one ever thought of
calling him anything else.
Explained His Politics.
Ono day delegation from the DEM
cratic town committee called on him
for a contribution when he lived in
Waterville and was managing a small
hotel and stable there.

hospitable inkeeper who over dwelt

state.
Time was when he sent $50 horses
year to the Boston market and as
many more to New York.
In person Mr.. withee bore all the
requirements of his own good story

MILWAUKEE,. WIS, Sept 16.-De-
serted by her sweetheart, who failed
TO keep his promise to marry her;
facing a future Of doubtful promise
handicapped by two artificial legs,
Miss Minnie Steinberg, aged 20, hanged
herself to a rafter in the home OF
her sister, Mrs. Anna Kanitz.
Four years ago Minnie, then 16
years old, was run down by train.
One leg was cut of above the knee,
the other below. Public sympathy
was enlisted In her behalf when a
verdict for $4,000 damages against
the railroad was overturned. the high
or court ruling she had been partial
ly a victim Of her own negligence.
She was able to get work, going
into Il stocking factory as an inspec-
tor. For four years she faced the
world bravely. Then came compllca-
tons in the battle which caused her
to give up re struggle.
