volcano. He was witness to the de-
struction of Tuxpam by an earthquake
in 1906, when over one thousand peo-
pie were killed.
THE man was of striking personal
appearance. His frame was large and
his eyes deep and piercing. During
the later years of his life he gained
livelihood by doing odd jobs around
the town."

A Father at 1o5 Years

HE often told his friends in joking
manner that he had the largest family
of any man in the world. No one
knows how many times he was mar
ried, but it is commonly reported that
he married his last wife when he was
past the age of $50 years and that
they had several children.
"Calvario was an Aztec Indian. His
rules of living were simple; in fact
he observed no set of rules. He ate
whatever he liked and, of course, his
poverty prevented him from faring
very sumptuously. He was a moder-
ate drinker of native liquors for 165
years, according to his own statement,
made many times to friends, and his
memory did not go back to the time
when he began smoking the Mexican
handmade cigarette.

TWO QUESTIONS DEBATED

Special Correspondence of The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md. March 1S.-Two
topics are engaging the attention of
the citizens of Riverdale just now
incorporation and the securing of a
bond issue of $4,000 for the erection
of public school building. At a
meeting early this week, attended by
over fifty citizens, it was decided to
allow the matter of incorporation to
remain dormant until it was deter
mined what was going to be done with
the school proposition. Senator Will
liam l.. Holmead has introduced BILL
directing the county authorities to is
sue bonds for the Riverdale school,

missioners Tuesday resolution was
passed setting forth that. in view OF

school children of Riverdale, and the
further fact that the county and school
commissioners have expressed opposl-
ton to any issue of school bonds, 1t is
hoped that Senator Holmead's bill VIII
