CHANGE IN TACTICS IS HINTED
AT IN THE CHICAGO RATE
HEARING.
GRILL FOR SHIPPERS LIKELY
Amount of Return, Which Different
Associations Enjoy on Their Invest
ed Capital May Be Put Up to Com
merce Commission.
Chicago. Coincident 'with the clos
Jag of the testimony for the Santa Fe
system before the special examiners
for the Interstate commerce commls
elon and the statement from the road's
statistician that the Increases in
freight rates asked would net the San
ta Fe ly $94,000 increase yearly In
earnings, there came a suggestion
from the railroads that the defense
might change their tactics and seek to
compel the shippers who oppose the
advance la freight rates to declare
how much they profit on the different
commodities under consideration. A
request from Attorney F. J. Norton,
counsel for the Snnta Fe, for the
names f the different associations of
shippers represented nt the hearing,
that he might question certain of the
shippers, gave color to the report that
the shippers would bo asked about
their profits. One prominent railroad
man declared that inasmuch as the
shippers had been protesting that the
profits of the railroads were unreason
able, the railroads might well usk the
shippers what their profits are on the
commodities affected by the proposed
Increase In freight rates no that the
commission may know whether they
are or are not seriously disturbed by
the increase which they are fighting.
While no statement of such Inten
tion has been made yet, It will not be
it all unlikely that the railroads before
the hearing is over will ask many
questions of shippers concerning' their
profits and the rate of return which
they enjoy on their invested capital.

growth of revolutionary sentiments.
Hut it was left to
one of the clergy, a
priest of the city of
Dolores, Father Miguel
Hidalgo, to give these
sentiments outward ex
pression and to ralso
the flag of rebellion
against the mother
country. Father Hidalgo
was the second son of
Chrlstobal Hidalgo y
Costilla and Ana Maria
de Gallaga, and was
born on the Hacienda
Corralejo In the state
of Gunnajuato on the
eighth of May. 1753.
His early years were
spent on the farm of
which his father was
the manager. As ho
grew older he pursued
his studies of philoso
phy and theology at
the College of San Ni
colas, and about 1778
he came to Mexico City to receive the
sacred orders and the degree of bach
elor of theology. He served as pastor
ot various parishes, and on the death
of an older brother was transferred
to the City of Dolores, where he
worked for the enlightenment of his
people in the arts and sciences and
the encouragement of aerlcultiirnl
and industrial pursuits. He first in
troduced in that district the cultiva

mulborry trees for the breeding of
the silkworm. Ho, moreover, estab

conspiracy which had for its object the assem
bling in Mexico City of a congress to govern
"e" ima " me name of Fernando VII. in
the event that the mother country should fall
10 me arms ot the French, which without
serious mienuon might probably lead to the
independence of the country. The uprising
was planned to take place on December 21
but being discovered, all the conspirators were
imprisoned. However, there being but little
evidence against them, they were soon given
their liberty.
The conspiracy being suppressed in Vnii.
dolld, sprang up in Queretaro with renewed
strength. Here It received protection from the
corregldor, or mayor, of that city, who fur-
nisned many recruits, pending the time when
secret action would be no longer necessary.
At this time Hidalgo became enlisted in the
cause of the conspiracy; but it Is not known
Dy wnat motives he was Influenced. H hnd
had numerous discussions with his friend Ik-
uacio Aiieuae, regarding independence, but
with no more serious object on his part than
pure argument and without thought of tak
ing any active part In the movement. Allende
however, was quick to Interest himself In the
cause, although warned by Hidalgo that the
originators of such enterprises seldom enjoyed
me iruiiB or mem. nut in the month of Sep
tember, 1810, Hidalgo received a letter from
Allende at Queretaro asking hlm to come to
that city on a matter of much importance. He

he met, as they were without resources and
of small Importance, and he returned to his
home somewhat disgusted with his visit. How
ever, another letter from Allende pictured the
state of affairs In such encouraging words that
he decided to give his time and energy to the
cause. He had made in the town 25 lances
and placed himself in communication with the
drum major and two sergeants of the battu'ion
of Guanajuato in order that they mIKlit r.eci're
some troop for the revolution. His efforts
considering the Rhort time which he had. were
most successful but, unfortunate!)-, the cc n

He found everybody asleep i:i the hcuse nf t' c
pileht, but awaking Allende, both sought the
room of Hidalgo, who Immediately arose and
exclaimed: "Gentlemen, we are lost; there is
now no other recourse but to attack the Span
lards." To which Aldama replied: "Sir, what
are you going to do? For the love of God,
what is to be done?" After this several hours
were spent In vain discussion. Hidalgo now
showed his greatness. He did not think of
flight, although on account of his sacred pro
fession he could easily have found safety. But
he preferred to fight for his principles aud his
convictions. Knowing full well that his com
panions were in prison and the thread of the
revolution had been snapped, without troops,
without arms, he preferred to face almost cer
tain death, remembering his warning to Al
lende, that seldom the originators of such
undertakings enjoyed the fruits of their efforts.
Hidalgo then, with hi brother, Allende,
Aldama and eleven other men left his house
fully armed and proceeded to the Jail, and.
threatening the mayor with his pistol, demand
ed the release of hi fellow-conspirators. His
demands having been compiled with, he now
had 80 men, whom he armed with the swords
of the soldiers of the regiment of the queen,
which were delivered to Sergeant Martinex.
It was Sunday and earlier than the usual
hour for mass. Hidalgo, however, summoned
the people of the town and the farmers from
the surrounding country, from whom he se
cured by his eloquent words about 300 fol
lowers. A march was made to Rlncon, which
was taken without resistance, and many Span
lards were made prisoners. Then proceeding
to San Miguel el Grande, he surprised the
garrison and obtained arms and money. Mean
while his march through the villages had aug
mented his ranks with people of all classes,
principally Indians with machetes. He had
found at one place an imago of the Virgin of
Guadalupe, which was attached to a lance
and borne aloft as the future banner of the
revolution, while the battle cry became "Ixng
live the Virgin of Guadalupe and death to the
Spaniards!" And yearly General Diaz gives
this "grlto" at eleven o'clock on the night of
September 15, as he stands with his vener
able head bared and rings the great bell of
the National palace, to the enthusiastic ap
plause of his people gathered in dense throngs
in the public square, or zocalo.
On September 21 the Insurgents marched
through Chamncuero nnd entered CelH.va, sack
ing the liouses of the Spaniards and securing
such n-.cney mid anus as they could lay their
hnnds on. Here HiJ;i!;:o was proclaimed gen-
rnl by a congress of tbe poople. and Allende
was placed seem. I in cmimand.
Hidalgo then nt cut for Guanajuato with
r.hout PC .000 men. and when he reached the
city he found t''ut t.; Spaniards had taken
r .fujio in a lr.rn- and strm ; l il!,:n which
had been un .1 n , n gr inrv. lioro the royal-l.-
ta had brought t!, gov. rn-m-iit treasury and
the'r prlvi t wa'th. fort'f.:iS themselves as
!t t::cy C".I(J. After n bloody conflict the
p!:uo was Anally stcrmcd and tahen and most
of the Inhabitants put to the sword. The
houses of the city were pillaged and the de
struction of property was general. Although
Hidalgo issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders, he was powerless
to prevent the excesses committed by the un
disciplined masses. After order had been
finally restored Hidalgo turned his attention
to the manufacture ot cannon for his troops
and the minting of the silver bars, from the
many mines In that vicinity, which hnd been
captured In the city.
Meanwhile the government prepared to
combat the revolution and through the medi
um of. the church sought to gain control over
the minds of the lower classes, an edict of ex
communication being Issued by the the bishop
of Mlchoacan against Hidalgo, Allende and Al
dama. To counteract the effect of this on the
minds of the people. Hidalgo published an an
swer, declaring his firm adherence to the doc
trine of the Catholic faith and calling upon
all to resist their oppressors.
On the eighth of October Hidalgo com
menced his march to Valladolid, intending at
first to attack Queretaro. Hearing of his com
ing, the authorities of Valladolid deserted the
city and the army of Insurgents was received
by tho citizens with great ovation.
On October 19 Hidalgo marched toward
Mexico City and was met at Las Cruces by
the royalist forces under command of Lieuten
ant Coloned Trujlllo, who was surrounded by
the insurgents and forced to cut his way
through the enemy's rear and retreat to Mex
ico City. The battle cost Hidalgo about 2,000
in killed and wounded, and Instead of advanc
ing on the city he determined to retreat, being
Influenced In his decision by the news that
General Calleja had left San Luis Potosi with
reinforcements. The retreating Insurgents
and Calle.ia's force met at Aculco; the for
mer, however, with but little fighting, contin
ued thei.' retreat, leaving In the field their
baggage and artillery. Hidalgo, with reduced
forces, retired to Valladolid, while Allende
posted himself at Guanajuato and was at
tacked and badly defeated by Calleja, with
great loss In killed and wounded.
Hidalgo, meanwhile, repaired to Guadala
jara with bis reorganized army and was re
ceived with Kt-eat pomp by the people of the
city. Here he organized a form of government
with I'iiiacio I. opez Rayon as secretary-general.
In January. 1811. Hidalgo moved from
Guuda'a.laru with the largest army that was

smaller f;:r,e of the enemy under Calleja at

To celebrate these stirring
events of one hundred years ago,
instead of erecting temporary ex

the money will be used in perma

The program for September in

'dedication of many new public
buildings, monuments and parks, a
great civic and military parade, a
historical pageant, fireworks dls
plays, balls, garden parties, free
theatrical performances, and many
other features. To assist In her
centennial celebration, Mexico invited all of
the nations of the world with whom diplomatic
relations are maintained. The response was
hearty and sincere, most of the nations send
lng special diplomatic representatives and not
a few of them are represented by warships
riding at anchor in the Mexican ports.
France, Germany, and China signified their
intention of presenting Mexico a lasting me
morial on the occasion of this centennial. The
first will return the silver keys to Mexico given
to the French on their entry Into the rnnltni
Germany1 will erect a monument to Humboldt,
while China will give a suitable gift. Other
nations will contribute in a substantial wav
toward commemorating the pdiod.
MARRIAGE 2,300 YEARS OLD
Most of us make the acquaintance of Egypt
in the splendidly dramatic story of Joseph and
his brethren, and so come to look on Pharaoh
and his people as gloomy and malign persecu
tors, fit only to be swallowed up in the Red
sea waves, writes Charles Johnson in Har
pers Weekly. Or we read of the graves and
sober monuments of the Nile valley, with
their perpetual reminders of death and the
kingdom of night, with tho result that we are
hardly prepared to realize the gay and light
some side of ancient Egyptian life or to credit
the thought that these tomb builders could
t-vci ui ran iino a Hume, tsui mere waa a
side of gayety and of charm, and just as we
are finding that so many of our deeper and
more philosophical thoughts go back to the
people of the Delta, so we are beginning to
discover the originals of all our Jokes In the
burled cities of the Nile.
That ladies were not unduly oppressed in
the land of the Pharaohs we may gather from
this marriage contract from a fourth century
Demotic manuscript :
"I." says the lady Isis, "take thee as my
husband. Thou makeBt me thy wife and giv
et.t me in token of dower five-tenths of silver.
If I discharge thee as my husband, hating thee
, and loving another more than thee, I shall
give and return to thee two and a half tenths
of silver, of which thou gavest me as my dow
er; and I cede unto thee of all and everything
lhat I shall acquire with thee, one-third part,
as long as thou art married unto me."
Not even Chicago or Reno can boast of a
franker contract than that, and there is some
thing wonderfully naive In the idea of the
good lady lsls "discharging" her lord on the
ground that she hates him and loves another
better. The sum she returns him. as part of
her now canceled dower. Is about equal to a
silver dollar.

"WEEK END" IN ENGLAND
Prom Saturday Until Monday the Eng
lishman Spends Most of the Time
In His Garden.
"I think we have comparatively lit
tie to learn from England about vigor
ous sports and pastimes. The greatest
lesson about outdoor living that she
can teach us Is the necessity of hav
ing a garden. For what we need most
Is relaxation, and there la no way in
which we can refresh ourselves for
the world's work like living In a gar
den as tho English do. We seem to
think that whether a man has a gar
den or not Is a mere Incident, or sim
ply a matter of taste. Dut to an Eng
lishman a garden Is as necesBary as
a dining room. And from the stand
point of national health it is perhap
quite as necessary to a family as sani
tary plumbing. I do not say this be
cause I am a horticulturist, says a
Brooklyn Eagle writer, but because
we can't be a pink-cheeked nation un
til America Is one great garden as
England is, and until we adopt that
splendid English idea the "week
end."
From Saturday noon until Monday
morning one-half of England is enter
taining the other half out of doors.
Nothing but routine business Is trans
acted on Saturday and Monday morn
ings. Indeed, week-end parties often
last from Friday night until Tuesday
morning, and they enjoy cheaper rail
road rates than for the shorter period.
I believe that our railroads can, and
will, stimulate country living wonder
fully by lowering week-end rates. The
English railroads advertise blu-bell
excursions, so that London children
may go out and pick these spring flow
ers. The newspapers always remind
people of "Chestnut Sunday," when
every one goes out to Bushy park to
see a mile of horse chestnut trees in
bloom. Already our railroads are be
ginning to advertise nature's free
shows, such as the autumn colors on
the Hudson river, etc. The time will
come when nearly all Important busi
ness wfll be done by appointment and
every one who can afford it will allow
himself two or three days a week In
the country from April till October.
roof-top pergolas are old
How These Popular Breathing Spots
in the Big Cities First Came
Into Use.
In Persia or Babylonia ages age
fiome rich or royal man long since
forgotten built the first parapet,
breast high, about the edge of th
broad flat roof that covered his pal
ace. The tradition Is that he did II
to please his wife, who was mountain
born and pined for freer air than
wandered through the barred windows
of her house In the ancient lowland
city. So the husband built this para
pet along the roofs edge in order that
she might spend the evenings there
in safety. She grew to love the place
so much that later he caused to be
constructed what today would be
called a pergola, a kind of arbor
roofed with thick-leaved vines whose
shade tempered the ardor of the sun
during the day.
Most new things are but old one
rediscovered. In New York today
these is knrdly a great apartment
house that ha been built in the last
two years that has not provided a
place upon the roof for it tenant
to sit In the summer. In the more
expensive of these great dwellings
these roof-top pergolas are a striking
architectural feature, large, square
towers at the corners where there Is
a commanding view of the city or
glimpses of green trees In the parks
or the shining water of the rivers.
In the older apartment houses, owing
to the almost universal demand this
summer, a shift to please the tenants
1 made by putting up a broad atrip
of canvas; on the roofs where it is
practicable even tent are pitched.
Where there 1 nothing at all people
flock to the roof during the evening
Just the same, bringing their chairs,
and sit there in the darkness, fanned
by the breezes up aloft until bedtime.
Quickly Passed.
"And you think you are willing to
endure the hardships of married life
with me?" he asked, tenderly.
"Yes," she answered, without a
tremor.
"But you know," he went on, "they'll
pelt us with shoes and you may get
rice In your eye. Our baggage will b
placarded, and most likely they'll ride
ub to the station In wheelbarrows,
with a band ahead, and everybody'll
have a bell or horn. They'll tip the
Pullman porter to give us away and
wire the police ot some town ahead
to arrest us as an eloping couple."
She shuddered, but It was only a
passing weakness.
Men Who Injure a Town.
The men who do a town more ham.
than good may be classed as follows:
Those who oppose Improvement;
those who run It down to strangers;
those who never advertise their busi
ness; those who distrust publlc-Bplrlt-edThen;
those who show no hospital
ity to any one; those who hate to see
others make money; those who op
pose every movement that doesn't
originate with themselves; those who
put on long faces when a stranger
speaks of locating In their town;
hose who oppose every public ep.er-
pribe, which does not appear of per
sonal benefit to themselves.
