A BRILLIANT FUNCTION
President Diaz's Son'-In-Bayr
Entertains In Royal Style.
City of Mexico Jan. 1 A
magnificent entertainment to
which the aristocratic society
of Mexico was invited was giv-
en to night at the snbhrbah
residence of Ignacio de la Tor-
re; sou-inlaw of President Diaz.
The Torre mansion is situated
in extensive grounds in the
picturesque town of Tacubaya
and is a veritable palace. The
'court yard was trahsformed in
to a supurbly decorated sup
per room illuminated by elec-
tricity and having for the chief
feature a luminous fountain
flowing amid tropical vegeta-
tion. Several hundred guests were
present; including President
Diaz and wife foreign minis-
ters and cabinet people.
The gentlemen wore red
coats and the toilets of the
ladies dame in a large part
from Paris specially for the oc-
casion. It was the most brilliant
and costly eut8rtaiument pro
bably ever given here.
PULLMAN'S POLICIES
Disinherited Sons Receive
$18000 Each from His Life
Insurance.
Chicago January l.The
twin sons of the late George M.
Pullman will come into posses
sion of $1S000 each as the re-
sult of their interest in the in-
surance policies carried by
their father. These policies are
being adjGsted and the amounts
the sons will receive will be in
addition to the SS000 a year
stipends left them by their
father's will. In his will the
millionaire palace car maker
stipulated with considerable
emphasis that he did not be-
lieve his: sons competent to
manage successfully large
properties- but in spite of this
he named them beneficiaries in
several insurance policies tak
en out a number of yers ago.
The other two children of Mr.
Pullman Mrs. Florence Pull-
man Lowden and MrsiP'Harry
Pullman Carolan the latter of
California also receive $18000
each by the policies. The widow
derives about $25000 from the
policies afrid the two brothers
of Mr. Pullman are also f j-
membered. A STEAMER WRECKED.

IN THE DESERT.
Artesian wells sunk in the
desert appear to find an abun-
dant supply of water without
crninrr yr'&rir rlp)ar frt- if- in-1
this fact may in time put a
new face on desert conditions;
involving- important political
climatic and economical conse-
quences says the New York
Tribune. The English have
o
begun sinking- them along the
Berber-Suakin road finding-
water there as abundant as it
was in the regions near the
Nile when their first experi-
mental wells; were put down.
Flowing under the Saharan
sands there may be water
enough to fertilize bases all
over its sterile expense and
rescue it in a measure from its
historic barrenness and deso-
lation. Some years ago a
French engineer proposed to
cut a canal from the Mediter-
ranean to the lower desert
levels thus creating a new in-
land cea or rather restoring
an old one; but for some rea-
son the project was abandon-
ed. Local irrigation by means
or artesian borings is a more
judicious expedient and the
English having pointed the
way in this direction the
French are quite likely to fol-
low it. Only a narrow desert
belt separates their posses-
sions in North and Middle
Africa reaching from the
Mediterranean to the Niger
and it is quite worth their
while to fertilize jt and plant it
with palm groves and date
orchards if possible at any
rate to provide water enough
to supply their present cara-
vans arid perhaps thair future
locomotives.
HOW IT ORIGINATED:
Chicago News.
Diggs: "I wonder who first
introduced the custom of eating
fish ori Hriday?"
Biggs: "Robinson Crusoe I
believe."
Diggs: fWhy howcould
that be?" V
Biggs: "RohinsoVi and his
man Friday were playing a
game of 'old maid' one day
with the understanding- that
the loser was to suppfy a mess
of fish for dinner. Robinson
won the game so the fish were
on Friday."

Mile. Charrriidri's Disrobing
Act Brbughtid Attention.
New Ybrk January i. Not
since the coming of the Barri-
son Sisters has the New York
theater going public been so
startled as by the act ot the
French trapeze performer Mile
Charmiori whej
does what is
described as a
"disrobing act"
on the swinging- bar at Koster
& Bial's. Even th old first
row regulars appear shocked
as Mile. Charmion goes frank-
ly about Ihe business bf strip-
ping from complete dress to
her tights.
The act-has caused so much
talk that it is not stmnge that
there has been some thought
of its suppression. The police
authorities have the matter un:
der surveillance and they may
at any performance step in and
brder its discontinuance. It is
said that the authorities had
taken the matter up on inform
ation furnished by nia'hy per-
sons who had seen the act.
