THE MOST REM- 1UK AHLE MONSTER
OF MODE I! X TIMES.
The case against Holmes, the Insurance
swindler now in jail in Philadelphia, for
the murder of the Peitzel children in Toron-
to, gains about equally in strength of cir-
cumstantial evidence and in horror of
ghastly details. He has been traced from
the United States to Canada. His identity
has been established at the Palmer house
and that of'the children at the Albion. He
and the pitiful little victims who were fol-
lowing- him over the country were recog-
nized at the place w^iere the bodies of the
latter have recently been found. 1-Ie is
shown to have borrowed a spade, explain-
ing carefully the purpose for which it was
needed, which purpose was never carried
out. This occurred on the last day the
girls were seen alive at the cottage in
which their bodies have been unearthed.
He left Toronto the next day. The toys
and satchel of the murdered children have
been identified and Mrs. Peitzel has identi-
fied the bodies as those of her children.
In the meantime what are presumptively
the charred bones and buttons of one of
the unfortunate Williams girls of Fort
Worth have just been found in Chicago in
a large stove In a room formerly occupied
by Holmes. Developments suggest with al-
most conclusive force that this icy mons-
ter murdered his friend Peitzel, three of the
Peitzel children and probably both of the
Williams girls in order to carry out his
wild plans of getting money. It would In-
terest the scientific world greatly to know
something of this man's origin and train-
ing. Have we in our civilization conditions
and influences especially calculated to de-
velop soulless butchers of this stripe? The
New York Times traces the present and
similar outcropplngs of criminal industry
to "the enormous growth of the life Insur-
ance business" and observes: "The most
detestable and cold-blooded criminals in
these days are those who undertake to de-
fraud insurance companies by means of
murder. They are restrained neither by
the ties of kinship nor by that long asso-
ciation which commonly induces friendly
affection from taking those lives by the de-
struction of which the profits of their hor-
rible trade are or may be gained." The
Times gives the insurance companies credit
for great care and vigorous effort to pre-
vent such crimes and to bring the guilty
to justice. In spite of the efforts of the
companies, of the penalties of the law, of
fear, of conscience, the work of the devil
goes on. The case of Dr. Meyer of New
York, who has gone to the penitentiary for
murdering his friend Brandt, is very much
like that of Holmes. He began by substi-
tuting cadavers secured at hospitals or
from burying grounds. He found it profit-
able to use the body of his associate In the
end. The number of Meyer's victims is
unknown. John Hendershott of St. Thom-
as. Ontario, murdered his nephew for $11,-
000 insurance money. He and Welter, his
assistant, were hanged about a month ago.
Harry Hayward is to hang for the murder
of Catherine Ging at Minneapolis. The
Times notes the case of Marie Jonlaux, in
Belgium, who murdered her sister, brother
and uncle in order to collect insurance on
their lives. A corpsc of some other per-
son is alleged to have been substituted for
that of John W. Hillmon of Kansas. The
suit for the insurance money has been
tried four times. Hillmon has never been
found. Mrs. Splvey is now undergoing trial
in Montgomery, Ala., on the charge of
murdering her husband upon whose life
x the re was heavy insurance. In many In-
stances killings have doubtless occurred
without exciting suspicion of crime. In
others the murderers have been suspected,
but not accused or hold for the deeds. In
yet others verdicts of not guilty have been
rendered. Comparatively few, perhaps,
have gotten what they deserved. The in-
dustry has been carried to such horrible
lengths by arch butchers of the Meyer and
Holmes type that innocent beneficiaries
have in some Instances been suspected and
prosecuted for crimes that the world and
all it holds could not have induced them to
commit. It is pafe to say that no more re-
markable case than that of Holmes, alias
Mud get t, has come to light. It Is time to
begin a search for the schools of soulless
butchery In which such fiends are educat-
ed. Where are they trained? Uoon what
do they feed? What are the conditions of
our civilization that tend to develop and
to encourage the horrible Industry in which
they 'delight to engage?
At the last meeting of the city council
the following resolution was passed with-
out opposition:
Re it resolved by the city council of the.
city of Galveston, .that an election shall
be held on the 5th day of August, 189"), in
each of the wards of said city to deter-
mine by a vote of the property tax pay-
ers. as shown by the last assessment rolls,
whether or not the city council of said
city shall have power by ordinance to an-
nually levy and collect an ad valorem tax
of 7'_< cents on the $100 of value on all real
and personal property subject to tax un-
der the laws of the state within said city
for the support and maintenance of the
public free schools and institutions of
1< arning in said city of Galveston, in ad-
dition to the tax of 20 cents on the $100
heretofore authorized to be levied and col-
lected for that purpose, said additional tux
to commence on the 1st day of October,
1895, and that the mayor of the city issue
his proclamation of election at least fif-
teen days before the election, with in-
structions that the election be held an 1
tlie returns be made in accordance with
the ordinances of the city of Galveston.
Resolved further, that the city clerk be
and he is hereby instructed to prepare the
last assessment rolls and furnish the offi-
cers of election therewith for the purposes
of said election.
This increased tax is made necessary by'
the reduction in the amount the city re-
ceives from the state apportionment of the
available state school fund. Galveston's
school tax Is lower than that of any other
city of similar size in the state, and with
the increase asked for the tax will still be
lower than that of many cities and school
commuViities In Texas. The situation
speaks for itself. Shall Galveston's schools
drop from their present place of leadership
to a third-rate position in our state sys-
tem of public education? There is but
one thing to do and that is to vote the ad-
ditional tax,'
The District and County Attorneys' asso-
ciation of Texas will meet in Dallas, Au-

Commissioner Reagan says he may or
may not resign, but has fixed upon no date
for his resignation. He says further: "I
am not and will not be a candidate for the
office of governor. If I had contemplated
being a candidate I could not have ac-
cepted the position I now hold by ap-
pointment, A man who would hold an
office under appointment by another and
who would seek to defeat the one making
the appointment could hardly be consid-
ered honorable."
All is said to be quiet at Gray Gables.

way to dispose of Holmes, alias Mudgett,
is to send him to Texas and have him
tried for hoi so stealing.

H. Rider Haggard, the novelist, conserv-

been pelted with mud and stones in East
Norfolk. Miss Hartcup, a member of the

ham. Finally a mob rounded up the Hag-
gard company at a hotel in Stalham, from
which they were rescued by the police at 2
o'clock in the morning. This is the most
vicious show the British have(given to the
world since they flung filth upon the new
silk dross of Lady Hareourt last week.

A SECRET PASSAGE AT WINDSOR.
London Illustrated News.
A work of considerable interest—the con-
nection of the secret passage under
Thames street with the Curft w tower—has
Just been carried out at Windsor castle.
This early specimen of the subterranean
sallyports constructed during the feudal
period was accidentally discovered about
forty years ako during the progress of
Some drainage operations.
Very few people are aware of its exist-
ence. as it has been practically closed, the
01 \ in IBI of reaching H up to the pres-
ent time having been through the floor-
ing of one of the lay clerks' rooms in the
Horsu Shoe ck>»it«rs. The beautifuliv-
vaulted passage Is constructed of finely-
worked blocks of chalk, 'Ms broad steps be-
ing of the same material. The surface wa-
ter has percolated through the roof, and
the steps are consequently slippery, render-
ing any exploration of the place somewhat
risky. Workmen have now linked the up-
per extremity of the sallyport with a
small apartment attached to t'he belfry
.tower, whence this remarkable example of
early ma: onr.v can be more easily visited.
The passage on leaving the Curfew .tower
runs down inside the « astle wall and then
under Thames street and the shops on the
west smo of that thoroughfare toward the
river. At the time of the correspondent's
vis.it the bottom of the underground pas-
sage was choked with debris, and 'the pre-
• i-e locality of its exit has, it Is believed,
never been 'ascertained.
THE CAUSE OF SILVER.
i It Is Dying Away as Rapidly as Did
the Similar Greenback Move-
ment of Years Ago.
SILVER LEADERS ARE SICK.
HAS SOME ENEMIES.
Wall Street Conspiracy to Injure Chauncey
Depew's Credit.
For The News.
Just before Chauncey M. Depew went to
Europe a week or so ago he was put to
serious inconvenience through the tactics
of some of his Wall street enemies who
went about saying that the great orator is
financially embarrassed and compelled io
ask the indulgence of the people to whom
he Is indebted for
args sums, it may
surprise those who
have been led to look
upon Depew as a mil-
lionaire and a friend
)f millionaires to
learn that his name
jpon a note is no un-
familiar thing to the
financiers. Now De-
oew has some very
bitter enemies—peo-
ple with whose
schemes he has Inter-
fered at one time or
another. They are
perpetually seeking
to embarrass him, if
, inly for revenge.
Depew k Do lam. Ono trall in ]>pew
makes him peculiarly liable to Injury of
this kind connected with want of friends.
This trait is readiness to indorse a note
for any friend in need of accommodation.
Not many days ago quite a number of
notes bearing the Indorsement of the great
financier were seen on Wall street. He is
known to be rather open-handed and gen-
erous. As he once said of himself, the
dollar he gets has usually wings.
Consequently, when, in the early days of
July, Wall stret bankers saw the Depew
notes in the market, a hostile element
combined to discredit them. Every man
brought into contact with the money mar-
ket knows how easy it is to throw suspi-
cion upon even the highest credit. There
was no difficulty in pointing out that De-
pew's indorsement must be about in many
strong boxes; that lie is always branching
out into various schemes; that he is rath-
er an extravagant financier, and finally
that he has not, by half, so great a fortune
as is generally supposed.
The Depew notes dragged and the fact
proved somewhat humiliating. The great
orator was about to sail for Europe and he
did not like those bits of paper to be float-
ing about behind him. lie proceeded to
Wall street one morning and en.tercd a
banking house.
"I want to take up those notes vlth my
name on them," he said to the head of the
institution.
"Impossible!" was the reply.
"Impossible?" echoed Depew.
"Yes. They're all sold."
Depew went about to various other
places, but could not finch anyone who
would part with the notes, even for a lib-
eral inducement.
Now it transpires that the whole episode
was a trick on Depew. Once his baok
was turned the notes were taken out of
their resting places in safes and hawked
about, solely for the purpose of humiliat-
ing the after-dinner wonder.
COLOR MUSIC.
Organ Melody Flashed in Color Tones on
a Screen.
New York World.
A wealthy artist named Rivlngton who
lives in London has recently invented and
put into operation, at a cost of nearly $10,-
000, a "color organ," by means of which,
as certain notes are struck, the melody is
reproduced in a bewildering succession of
color tomes and coimbJna'tlons on a screen,
a<t the same instant they are 'heard by tire
ear.
What the exact details of his instrument
may be, and just how each color Is pro-
duced. Mr. Rivington will not divulge. All
that Is known Is that the new "color or-
gan" is played upon a. keyboard which is
almost tire exact -counterpart of that used
for a piano, and that whenever a note is
struck its color appears upon the screen.
Chords show combinations of tints that
are only comparable to harmonic combina-
tions of musical notes, middle C corre-
sponding, for example, to the low red of
the spectrum. The other Cs of the key-
board, when struck, show yet other reds,
toning perfectly.
Without carrying the description further,
it may thus readily be seen how the colors
grade, shade and ton*?, and how the sharp-
ening of a pia.no note or its flattening
makes the suggestion of a change in color
hardly to be expressed with a painter's
brush, yet quite perceptible to the visual
senses.
In the light of history Rivington's inven-
tion has not that newness and novelty it
would seem to have. So far back as 1731
Father CVistel, a French Jesuit, construct-
ed a model of a "color harpsichord." That
this ingenious priest died before iris device
was quite perfected does not destrov the
originality of his idea nor the priority of
his claim. No details of the construction
of his instrument have come down to the
present day. but so far as can be learned
it very much resembles Rivington's "color
organ."
HIS GREAT SCHEME.
New York World.
"The elevated railroad has just had to
pay $20,000 because one of its guards at-
tacked a passenger and smashed him in
the face," said Mr. Skeemer to Mr. Plotz.
"Now, 1 have a scheme. You and me
aren't doing anythrng just now and we
might put it into practice."
"What is it?" demanded Plotz.
"I'll get a job as brakeman on the ele-
vated, you get on my train and then I'll
attack you. As soon as I see you I be-
come uncontrollable, make a wild dash for
you, kick you in the stomach, knock out
your teeth, black your eyes and then
throw you out of the window. You sue
the company, all the passengers testifying
that the assault was entirely unprovoked,
as it was, and the jury will award you
anywhere from $20,000 to $500,000. We di-
vide evenly, of course. The bigger licking
1 give you the more money we get."
"Yes," Interrupted Plotz. "I get the
licking and 'we' get the money. Suppose
I be the brakeman! 1 used to sweep out a
railroad station and I'd take to the busi-
ness easier than you. Besides I'm a
harder puncher than you. After I get
through with you the job would be worth
$75,000 at least. How about it?"
"No." replied Skeemer, "the idea Is mine
and if I can't assign the speaking parts I
won't play. Oh, very well: If vou don't
want to, simply don't. I'll just hire a man
for $50 to let me pound him and then I'll
get all the profits for myself. I'm going
right downtown now to see Colonel IIain
and get the job and you'll feel pretty sick
when you read in the papers about another
elevated guard running amuck and half
killing a passenger. Won't you wish you'd
been him? I'll be a rich man in a week."
And he headed for downtown to get the
job.

Strange Malady Which Forces Them Out of
the Country Just at This Time When Their
Services Are Supposed to fie Needed,
Washington, July 21.—(Special.)—A few
days ago Senator George Vest of Missouri
passed through this city en route to Eu-
rope. He expressed himself as feeling
very badly physically, and said that his
visit to Europe was in search of some
waters there that he thought might give
him some relief. But after he had con-
cluded this explanation of his European
visit, he went on to talk, and he un-
wittingly, of course, established a general
opinion that he was heartsick over the
impending death of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver ideas. He talked about
the crops and dolorously said that in his
state and in the west they were better
than they were ever known before. He de-
plored the fact that as long as the crops
j were good the people were not apt to take
up a new financial policy, and privately he
expressed great fear for the success of the
silver movement.
A week or two ago the newly elected
senator from Georgia, Mr. Bacon, passed
over the water to Europe in search of
health. He is an ardent silver man, but his
health was his first consideration, and
he went away to take care of it. And
now that eminent statesman, Charles Fred-
erick Crisp, is going back to his native soil
of England, He goes, too, for his health,
and in the face of the fact that at this
time the silver cause needs all its advo-
cates at home. Other silver men have
taken wings to themselves and flown, and
their absence at this time is creating com-
ment everywhere. ,
There is to be a great silver rally in
Georgia, and it was expected that the two
most prominent men in that state, to-wit:
Crisp and Bacon, would be present and
give their strength toward pushing along
the glorious silver cause. But they will
not be present. They will let the cause
take care of itself, and if the people do not
want any more of it, then these two gen-
tlemen, the finest kind of politicians, will
be perfectly satisfied. They are like nine
out of ten politicians, they are willing to
Hop just as soon as the majority of the
people flop.
There is to be a silver meeting in Mis-
souri and the silver men confidently ex-
pected that old wheel horse of silver, Vest,
to be present ami give his assistance to the
further propagation of the silver idea. He
got sick just at the time he was called on
and now his people are discouraged over
his sudden sickness.
The effect of these things Is to make
the average and honest silver man sick at
heart. He has been taught by his leaders
that the cause of silver was one that
would live on and on, and that nothing
could ever settle the question till the white
metal was placed exactly on a par with
the yellow metal In the mints of the
country. He has been told that two-thirds
of the people of the country are in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage of sil-
ver, and as long as this was the case of
course they would have free and unlimited
coinage of silver. They were told that the
prosperity of the people and the country
depended on such coinage and this being
the ease, of course it would only be a mat-
ter of time till such coinage came. And
now when the final blows are to be deliv-
ered for the white metal the teachers have
been suddenly stricken with disease and
tied the country. How many of those who
have remained at home are saying any-
thing for the cause? I mean how many of
the leaders? How many in Texas are mak-
ing speeches for the white metal now? As
far as 1 can gather, only Mr. Bailey Is
raising his voice in the advocacy of the
great cause of the people. Sayers is silent.
Cockrell is silent. Pendleton, I believe, has
made one or two speeches. Bell Is dead to
the world as far as his voice is concerned.
Mills is mute. Culberson, of course, can
not afford to say anything about silver
because he was selected by the house at
the last session to represent It on an in-
ternational monetary conference that will
never come. Crowley is here and you can
no more get him to say anything on the
subject of sliver than you can get him to
put his* hand in the fire. He is a voting
man in politics, but he has learned some-
thing in the game. And as It is in Texas
with the leaders, so it is everywhere. Con-
gressmen come here, and when they are
asked if the silver cause is growing or
falling away they declare the utmost ig-
norance on the subject. I have reference
to the silver men alone* for the gold bugs
are exceedingly anxious to talk about this
time and to give testimony to the fact
that the silver movement is dead. I saw a
congressman named Tate from Georgia
here a few days apo and asked him'what
was the condition of the silver movenvnt
In his state, and he said that he had been
very busy and that he was unable to give
any opinion. He was literally scared out
of his boots over the outlook.
It will be observed that Jones of Arkan-
sas, who was one of the committee appoint-
ed at the Memphis meeting of silver men
to devise some plan whereby the matter
might be fought out in the democratic
party, is now out in an interview in which
he says that there is a misunderstanding
in regard to the first call of the committee
It has generally been thought that the call
of the committee for a meeting at Wash-
ing was a call for a general meeting. Now
the senator says that the call was for a
few silver men from each of the states to
meet and see what should be done. This
explanation of Jones, who is voicing the
minds of the committee, is creating com-
ment. It is taken as a second thought in
view of the fact that the cause is going
to pieces so rapidly, and this disintegra-
tion might be accelerated by a general
meeting in which the wild eyed silver man
would be sure to be present and sure to be
extreme. Senator Turple, one of this com-
mittee, has advised his people to go slow
and to act conservatively in regard to sil-
ver. If there is a meeting of the silver
advocates in a kind of mass meeting, it is
an assured fact that there will be no con-
servatism with some of them. Hence, it is
thought the committee revised its original
intentions and now calls for a consultation
meeting. That kind of a meeting was held
In Memphis and it does not appear why
there should be another one called. If this
procedure is continued it looks as if the
friends of the white metal would finally
adopt the method of consultation with
each other as the proper way to tight.
It is evident to every wideawake man in
the eountry that this silver feeling is sub-
siding. This will be disputed all along the
line, but nevertheless the idea has seen its
best day. And there can be no concealment
of the fact that the speeches of Carlisle in
Kentucky and at Memphis did the work.
The Kentuckians believed that there was
nothing that could withstand the silver
tempest and Carlisle was advised by his
friends to stay away and not get in front
of the storm. But the moment his first
speech was delivered the storm abated. The
effect was felt In Ohio and in Illinois and
everywhere for that matter. The Ohio
democrats had gone into the silver move-
ment with treat enthusiasm, but the mo-
ment Carlisle's speech came to them they
turned about and announced their conver-
sion to the gold standard. In Illinois, where
■liver mctl had a short triumph, they aie
now silent and no one conversant with poli-
tics there disputes the proposition that the
demoerats of that state are almost a unit
airainst the double standard. Governor
dates of Alabama has been here and he
says that his state is sure to go against
silver. And so the word comes from all
nolnts. The gold men are jubilant and bold.
The silver men, I mean the silver congress-
men. seem to be despondent and show evi-
dences of an ardent desire to "take a
limb." But when they talk to you they
invariably sny that there is one state that
they can rely on. and that is Texas. They
seem to have the greatest confidence in the
silver leaders there. Their talk has had
the effect of creating the Impression gener-
ally that Texas is a safe silver state. But
if it is It will be a lone star Indeed. For
with the possible exception of Florida,
where the free** last winter killed »U the
fruit trees, and of Arkansas, which has
the character, whether It Is deserved or
not, of being behind the procession, there
will be no other democratic states that will
Indorse the silver Idea.
There is one chance of the silver craze
going further, and that Is, that there shall
come, some time between now and fall, a
freeze all through the country. If the crops
are destroyed then the people may turn to
silver for- relief. They turned to It so fgr
because the times have been hard. They
would have turned to any other suggested
relief with as much enthusiasm. And is
not that a high order of statesmanship
which would establish an economical or
other policy of as great a nation as this
on a single drouth or a single liood? The
leaders of the silver movement would regu-
late the monetary system of this country
on the rainfall and the frosts and the
drouths. But the people will not do so, and
it is for this reason that the cause of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver is dy-
ing away as rapidly as did the similar
movement cf grecnbacklsm years ago.
LETTER FROM MEXICO
LIFE AND DEATH.
What Scientists Have Discovered In the
Study of Protoplasm.
London Saturday Review.
In the descending scale of animal life the
relations between the organs are less and
less intimate, and the misleading sudden-
ness of the arrest of the machinery fades
away. The heart of a turtle from which
the brain has been removed will continue
to beat for days. A worm or a starfish
may be cut to pieces, and each piece re-
mains alive, sometimes even reproducing
the whole. Who shall name the point of
death of an oyster or of a sea anemone?
No stoppage of a single organ causes sud-
den and conspicuous change in the whole.
When protoplasmic death of a part oc-
curs, either the part Is sloughed away and
replaced or the ripples of destructive
change spread slowly from cell to cell,
each affected part remaining active to the
last. In the simplest animals of all or-
ganisms that consist each of a single cell
death may be seen at its lowest terms.
There is no composite multicellular body,
no bodily mejhanism to break down, no
possibility of the failure of one set. of
cells gradually creeping upon others. Each
organism is alive or dead as its proto-
plasm Is alive or dead.
Here, in their simplest forms, are life
and death, and here, asking if death is
inherent in living matter, we find surpris-
ing answer. Violence of heat and cold,
mechanical forces and assaults of chemi-
cal affinities may destroy these single par-
ticles of life, but it is not overthrown by
rude accident, and If provided with food
and drink, their protoplasm lives forever.
Each particle feeds, until, outgrowing a
convenient size, It cleaves asunder and one
lif-» becomes two lives. So far as reason
and observation can inform us, the living
particles in the ponds and seas of to-day
have descended in a direct •continuity of
living material from the first dawn of life.
No other solution is open, save the possi-
bility of a spontaneous generation of living
matter so continued and so common that
it could have eluded the search of science.
This is that "immortality of the protozoa"
hinted at by Lankester In England, blaz-
oned Into fame by Weismann.
Whether or no the protoplasm of the tis-
sues of higher organism be potentially im-
mortal can only be a matter of inference.
The productive cells, Indeed, form a living
chain, binding the animals and plants of
the remotest past. This reproductive pro-
toplasm is immortal in precisely the same
sense as the protoplasm of single cells is
immortal, and there seems no reason to be-
lieve with Weismann that the protoplasm
of the other tissues has acquired mortality
and is different in kind. It dies, but only
because it is part of a complex structure.
The machinery of the body is not regu-
lated to last forever; on the other hand,
it is to the advantage of the race that it
should break down when reproduction has
been accomplished, and its break down re-
sults In the ruin of Its component parts.
There is no reason to suppose that the
protoplasm itself grows old. A slip cut
from a tree many centuries old may be
grafted on a young tree and so enter on a
new lease of life. Were the process to be
continued, a continuity of protoplasmic
life might1 be maintained. So far as we
can tell, death is not inherent in living
matter. Protoplasm may live forever, as
a flame shielded from the wind and fed
from an endless store would burn forever.
MINOR MENTION.
Canada and the Pacific coast furnish the
chief supply of the Japanese markets' ap-
ples and pears.
In Japan the consumption of butter and
cheese is confined almost entirely to the
foreign communities.
California canned fruits and preserves
are considered the best In the Bombay, In-
dia, market, and are by far the cheapest.
A ukase Issued by the governor of the
Woolwich academy many years ago de-
creed that three guineas of pocket money
should be considered sufficient for the
term.
Moat of the California fruits that are
brought to Bombay come from New York
instead of direct from western ports, which
of course increases the selling price at that
end.
It is estimated that the annual consump-
tion of oati3 in the United States has been
reduced 100,000,000 bushels owing to the dis-
placement of horse power by electricity and
bicycles.
In Cyprus the favorite method of the
British government to destroy the locusts
is to purchase t'hern alive and then destroy
them. Last spring $18,000 was expended in
this way.
Take a new potato and grate it finely and
then use it instead of soap to wash witih.
The juice of the new potato raw, of course,
contains some prlncipie that acts quickly
and beneficially on the skin.

A new way of smuggling was recently un-
earthed in Bristol. Conn. A clerk employed

of it.
A movement has long been on foot in Ger-
many to increase the pen-slows of the

about £8 a year.

An
Interesting Visit to the Cities
of Oaxaca, Puebla, Jalupa
and Coatepec.
Majesty of Snow-Capped Orizaba-Earth-
quake Shock and a Startling Dream.
Loiterings in the Heart of Mcxico.
Puebla, Mex., July 16.—(By the occasional
Correspondent of The News.)—It was my
good fortune to leave Puebla de Los An-
geles on July 1 for the city of Oaxaca, the
capital of the contiguous state of the same
name, which lies southeastward from the
angelic city, and is distant a day's jour-
ney by rail—228 miles.
It was my good fortune, I repeat, for it
threw me into traveling companionship
with the Honl Yoshibumi Murota, consul
general and representative of his imperial
majesty cf Japan, near Mexico, and with
his secretary and his Interpreter, genial
gentlemen all, who move In polite circles
of society and sec much of the world.
The consul spoke English, but no Span-
ish, and we quickly fraternized, for we
were much together, then and later, there-
by laying the basis of a near and lasting
friendship. Let it suffice to say that, with
him and his suite, 1 called upon my good
friend, the consul and representative, near
Oaxaca, of his most Catholic majesty of
Spain. The reception took place with all
the pomp In the elegant drawing room of
the representative of Aragon, Castile, Leon
and Navarre, with his gentle wife and
lovely daughters present. The most deli-
cate jerez which Spain exports, a wine
made precious by age, was produced for
the occasion, and It added by its gladness
to the joyousness and cordiality of the re-
ception.
The late war, religion and politics, court-
ship and marriage, literature, education,
dress and social customs were the topics
discussed, and the ladies present joined
heartily in it; the day waned and hours
soon passed with winged feet. Reverting
to the interview, the consul said that many
of the subjects we had discussed had been
ably treated by the ladles of Japan in a
book prepared by them for the world's ex-
position, entitled, "The Women of Japan,"
and he has since kindly sent me a copy
of that excellent and Interesting book.
Puebla, a city of 100,000, stands nearly
upon the backbone of the continent, just
over the summit, upon the Pacific slope.
Here and there, all along this wonderful
backbone, which winds its way in a most
sinuous course, great mountains rising
higher than the great chain, and capped
with snow, mark its devious course. They
are nearly all extinct volcanoes, as Toluca,
Ixtaccehuatel, Popocatepetl, Mallnche, etc.
Here and there the lines of railway cross
this great divide, as at Salazar, Spizaco,
Amozac, Las Sedas, etc. One line of road,
the Aiexfcan Southern, crossed it twice,
and in the great vale between we traversed
a wonderous canyon, In which rivers flew
north and south, and, meeting at the low-
est pcint, run eastward for an outlet to
the gulf.
Awful precipices tower high and higher
still on either hand, and in never-ceasing
curves the road winds its way along a
branch, a little stream, a brook, a river,
and, departing thence, climbs the mountain
side, and climbing to the scarred face of
the highest canyon wall, rises to the very
summit at a grade off 5 per cent up the
great incline.
We put up at the Hotel de Franeia. In
Oaxaca. The good lady proprietress, Mrs.
Rosa Villain, did the best she could for
all. She is an estimable lady and the
hotel is good. My room was upon the
ground floor, and immediately in the rear
of a room occupied by two ladles, whose
apartment fated the street. There was a
heavily curtained glass door between, and
upen my side on extra heavy washstand
stood against it.
We remained in the charming city of
Oaxaca until the morning of the 5th. It
Is a city of 30,000, and is situated in, say,
north latitude 17 degrees, and at an alti-
tude of &000 feet above sea level. The cli-
mate is glorious—never too hot, never too
cold. Here spring abides and tropical fruit
is abundant.
July 5 was Friday—my lucky day. That
morning at 2 o'clock, the v»ry dead of
night, I awoke. I heard the cathedral
clock strike the four quarters complete,
and then it gave the resounding hour of
2 upon its greater bell. I heard the hour
and dozed—nay, 1 slept, and Indeed slept
heavily, wrapped in profound security.
Nevertheless, I soon awoke, and it was a
rude awakening—nay, it was fearful. A
man, and an unkempt wretch he was, a
rotber and an assassin, stood by my bed-
side, and with fell Intent he grasped
the corner post of my bedstead, and shook
It with an awful sweep, as If It were a
cradle. At this I awoke and saw, even in
the thick darkness of my Inner room. Yes,
saw it all and comprehended it clearly,
and then, closing my eyes again, I said:
"Preposterous; this is but a dream." And
I slept; even as in a moment, I
slept again.
But it was no dream—the villain was
irest surely there. Once more awake, and
feeling myself tosses by giant arms, I
nerved myself to the inevitable and deadly
struggle, and was just springing to wres-
tle with my adversary when a tremendous
surge came from the ladies' side against
tiie glass door; the very house shook and
the washstand hammered against the
trembling portal. Now fully con
selous,' I realized that the ladles
in the adjoining room were making a des-
perate effort to escape from harm, but,
not knowing what had occurred, I called
loudly, saying, "Que es, senoras. Que hay,"
and the answer came ejuickly back In
steady tone and clear in utterance: "Un
temblor, senor; un temblor!" An earth-
quake, sir; an earthquake!
What a relief. The information was as-
suring; Indeed, comforting. I had escaped
from that awful struggle with the villain,
assassin and giant or my dream. I was
abundantly satisfied; an earthemake was a
very small thing comparatively.
I struck a light and with sung froid lit
my candle, and then I sat listlessly upon
my bedside and thought it all over. It was
only ten minutes past two, and soon 'there-
after the cathedral clock struck the
quarter gone. My satisfaction was com-
plete. Still there might come another
shock, and it might be well to prepare to
meet It becomingly. I drew on my socks
leisurely, dressed, made my toilet, washing
and even carefully brushing my hair, and
felt that I was in readiness to escape to
the street, or to be decently burled In the
ruins, provided the shock came, but it
did not come, and when called at daylight
to take the early morning train I was
sleeping the sleep of the Just, and awaking
was, by a light touch here and there, ready
for the journey. The return train for
Puebla consisted of a secoiul-c.lass coach
and a number of box ears, for the regular
train of the preceding day was derailed
and detained down the road. Before we
reached it we were detained en route by
another engine off the track, and, after
all we had to transfer. We did not reach
Puebla until 1 o'clock in the morning. Still
we got there, notwithstanding the earth-
quake. the derailed engine and the trans-
fer, for it was Friday, my lucky day. Had
we remained in Oaxaca until Saturday we
should have been detained there for days,
for a flood of water fell In the canyon on
Friday night and washed out the road in
many places.
After a day in Puebla it was my fortune
to take a trip to the city of Jalapa, the
capital of the state of Vera Cruz. What a
grand journey It was. What a glorious
country, especially lrom Son Miguel to the
citv. The scenery Is charming.
Jalapa Is a quaint old place, a city among
the hills upon the side of a mountain. The
f treets turn and twirt any way, often pre-
cipitously and unexpectedly. The street
cars are drawn by six large horses or six
great mules. Snow covered Orizaba is in
full, clear view, seemingly hard by on a fine
day, and the days were glorious, this time,
though this is the midst of the rainy sea-
son.
The City of Coatepec Is, say eight miles
from Jalapa, and connection is made by
tram cars. They are like great street cars,
excursion style, and are drawn by six pow-
erful animals. I went out for a jaunt one
lovely morning to the attractive little city
of Coatepe.. Snow white Orizaba, in all
the grandeur of its towering height, rose be-
fore us. and in th£ clearness of the glo-
j nous day, an i in a wealth of sunshine,
! we aw it clear cut from bas<; to summit,
! in all the sublimity of L* Imposing
majesty.
Our road lay along by brook and fell, by
copse and meadow, through ulen and dale,
now and again by svlvan knoll and wooded
promontory, rising htre a hill, and follow-
ing there a precipice. Words can not
describe Its wondrous beauty. TheTe Is
nothing aloilg the Hudson to equal it, and
great mountain peaks and snow capped
Orizaba are it* silent sentinels. Once more
in Puebla. Here my donr, good friend, 'the
doctor, calls, and kindly invites me to
dine with him and his charming little wire
at 7.30 sharp at the good Hotel Jardin. The
invention is heartily accepted, and I meet
my friends on time.
The doctor suggests a stroll, first, to the
public plaza. This leads to the portals or
an attractive and very large place of en-
tertainment where- gentlemen arid ladies
congregate. After a mystic sign to the
man in charge, who replies interrogatively,
"Manha-Man?'' and is answered by a nod,
we are seated comfortably at a little table
for three, where each Is soon provided
with that waving extremity of a fowl com-
monly known as a cocktail. What a won-
derful flavor there is in the plumage. The
mead of the ancients and the nectar of the
gods is as nothing to it.
However, there is good water here, and
a new pump cpiite convenient to the door.
We also had coffce a! our meals and occa-
sionally a glass of milk. If aught else only
at rare intervals and upon peculiar occa-
sions, but as a beverage never. Only now
and then, as when with the doctor and his
lady, and to emphasize the gladness of the
occasion d<o we allow ourselves the luxury
of the waving extremity of the bird.
As I write night has drawn her sable
curtain down and pinned it with a star;
nay, more, the hours have flown, and here,
in 'my great empty room alone there stand
out clear cut in memory:
The fearful cutthroat who so fiercely
shook my bedstead, even the spirit of the
earthquake, worse than Scrooge.
The majesty of snow capped Orizaba
towering heavenward, and the superlative
beauty, on a bright clear day, of the tram-
way trip from Jalapa to Coatepec.
Alone, all alone, in this great silent
house, and It is as Burns says, "The hour
o' night's dark and the keystone—the hour
thyt witches are abroad In." The house is
lonely and the silence such as is felt, and
it were well to sleep. All hail, threfore,
Mr. Editor: all hall, and farewell.
