FELIX DIAZ UNABLE TO HOLD SPOTLIGHT; HEADED FIB DISCARD Predicted He Cannot Possibly Win Presidency In Coming Election In Mexico. BIG ARMY GRAFT LOCATED Pessimism Prevails at Capital and Be lief Is General That Huerta Ad ministration Is Riding to Its Fall. Mexico City. Special: General Kell* Diaz has published his platform in the form of a manifesto or open letter to the political clubs supporting him. In it he has carefully refrained from giving any but the moBt general under takings. such as a promise to restore peace; to do Justice to all; to encourage education, etc., and all without enter ing into details as to how- he is going to proceed. But the election of Diaz appears far from certain. Had the election for president been held the day after the close of hostilities In the capital, there is no doubt he would have been elected without any material opposi tion. With Huerta In the chair, how ever, and a big revolution to attract or distract the people, there la much less heard of the popularity of General Diaz. There are many of his own par tisans who have expressed the opinion that he never will be president. It Is nothing that he has done, say they, to turn from him the popular support, but rather the fact that he lias done noth ing spectacular since he ceased firing •hrapnel into all quarters of the city. Investigation of the army payrolls has shown an expenditure of 27,000 fcesos ($13,500) a month for salaries to officers who never appeared in uniform. It is charged that this was the work of one of the Madero family, He is •aid to have used the paymaster of the rural guard to pay oft his own hench men. His method was, according to the story told at the palace, to name a. man whom he wished to favor or use. an officer in the rurales, at the game time telling the commanding of ficer that this new officer would re port once a month for his pay. None of those appointees has appeared to collect his money since the overthrow of the Madero regime. Pessimism at the Mexican capital continues dominant. With or without money the administration, In the opin ion of thousands of residents, both na tive and foreign, is bound to fall. These men believe that Intervention by the United States or some other power might prevent the overthrow, but, left •lone, that the Huerta government will see itself slowly crushed backward •gainst the wall by the constitutional ists. Francisco I. Madero. aljve, never could Induce any considerable number Of men to take arms in defense of his government, but Madero, dead, has proved a far more potent figure. Any estimate of the number of rebels is largely a guess, but it is safe to ns •URie that in no previous revolution have there been In the field so many men armed working eo closely to gether. It was not the lack of money that handicapped the government so badly In the opening days of the rebellion as It was the Smallest and Inefficiency of the army. There was a fair part of the irregular establishment which could not be counted on. and when an Investigation wag made it was discov ered that not every name on the pay tolls was backed by a soldier "present «r accounted for." It was believed, however, that with money to continue the pay of the sol diers and to organize and equip new bodies, the government would whip the rebels. The more hopeful said that if the government could hold them off for a year or more It would win, but the majority regarded the chance •Ught even in that case. The Pygmies of Dutoh Now Guinea. For several months, says Captain C. Q. Rawllng In the June Wide World magaslne, all attempts to discover the Tillage of the pygmy people failed, until one day a collecting party unex pectedly came across their habitations 1,800 feet up the mountain Bide. The fygmlee poured In from all directions, ut, though suspicious, ever handling their bows and arrows, and always on the alert, they never attempted hostili ties. Their houses were very superior to those owned by the plainsmen, which were built on the ground with rough timber, sticks, and leaves, while the small men constructed their dwell ings on piles, raised eight or 10 feet above the earth. In addition, the in teriors were lined with strips of bark, affording a more or less effectual pro tection against the wind and rain. The pygmies’ powers of* enumeration, also, raised them considerably above the mental level of the plainsmen, who only possessed words to denote the first two numerals, while the little men oould count up to 10. The average height of the coast .people was rather over 5 feet 8H inches, the new tribe of hlllmen only 4 feet 8H inches, Generally ■peaking, they were excellently propor tioned, agile, wiry, and eminently aulted to the densely-covered mountain country In which they dwell. In color they varied iittle, being what may be termed a chocolate hue, slightly fairer than the dwellers In the plains. All were extremely dirty, the only elean parts being where their bodies had rubbed against the foliage In their attempts to force a way through the dense Jungle. There was also some difference to be observed In the small amount of clothing adopted. All carried large string hags over one shoulder, in which were placed their limited ■tock of earthly possessions, while round the nock, and more rarely as a form of headdress, were suspended •fringe of wallaby teeth or tho •houlder blades of the same animal. Through we visited the pygmy village on three occasions expressly with the purpose of seeing the women, we were unable to attain our object In spite of the heaviest bribes. Though we of fered one ave for each woman, this most tempting offer oelng finally doubled, they persisted In keeping the ladies In strict seclusion, so that I am unable to show Wide World readers a picture of a pygmy belle, or even to describe what they look like. This curious race Is believed to be at least as ancient as the Andaman {slanders, and one of the oldest. If not the very oldest Inhabiting the globe. Too Late. “Are you going fishing tomorrow morning?” asked the rural citizen. "No,” replied the man from town. "Bo long as I can’t go fishing today I Won’t bother. I neves yet fished with out learning that they were biting flu* resterday.” I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦»»»+♦■♦♦♦ +■+■♦♦♦♦» 4“ TRAGIC DEATH OF A DOG. ♦ 4- ♦ » 4-4-M-f ♦ 4 The famous Winstead, Conn., corre spondent Is the subject of an Interest ing story written to tbo Cincinnati Tlmes-Star by Its New York correspon dent: The New York Tribune has a correspondent at Winstead, Conn., who Is “there" every Monday morning with a story of the type which Is a never falling delight to the oldtime newspa per man. It Is always a perfectly In consequential Item about an animal of extraordinary Intelligence—nothing of any news value, but something Ingen ious which Is likely to be believed In and remarked upon by anyone who doesn’t know, ex-cathedra, that It’s simply a good lie. On a recent Monday the story told of the marvelous actions of a collie. It ran like this: “Major was taken out for exercise, this morn ing by his master, on the boulevard which encircles the lake. Running ahead, the dog discovered. Just beyond a sharp bend, a giant boulder, which had been dislodged by the frost and had rolled down Into the road. Quickly retracing his steps the dog got directly In the track of an approaching automo bile and barked until the driver brought the machine to a stop, within two feet of the boulder, which would have eith er wrecked the machine or hurled It Into the lake, which at this point Is 70 feet deep.” The Tribune tel egraph editor, having a sense of humor, printed the story and wired the corre spondent as follows: “Dog story very good. Follow up with Interesting de tails about Major's other feats of In telligence.” The correspondent was game. He sent a story, the following day, saying that Major had long been known for his achievements as a hun ter. “If his master carries a rifle,” the correspondent wrote, “Major will tree a squirrel. If the weapon Is a shot gun, he will, without suggestion of word of command, chase a rabbit. On one occasion, which Is vouched for by three reputable citizens, when his mas ter took down a fishing pole Major ran oik In the backyard and began scratch ing with his forepaws, presumably In the effort to dig worms.” The editor went downstairs and took three drinks. He came back and telegraphed the cor respondent: “Bring Major and his own er to New York office tomorrow. All expenses allowed. Sunday feature wanted.” After this the editor smiled and muttered profanity to himself. The correspondent replied: “Sorry can not follow instructions. Major is dead. Master prostrated. Ho trained dog to kill snakes, and Major picked up black snake whip, dropped In front of mas ter's home yesterday, and shook It un til he whipped himself to death.” The Barbaric Church of St. Helena. At the bottom the chapel of St. Hel ena seems all the more brilliant as compared with the darkness and Its double row of phantoms through which we have Just passed. It Is lighted through the windows of the dome. It Is certainly one of the strangest of all the buildings which make up the Holy Sepulcher. Here we feel In agonizing fashion the weight of the awful past. All was silence when I entered—It was empty, under the eyes of those half dead specters of the stairway, and I can barely hear the distant rumble of the chants and bells. Behind the altar Is another stairway, bordered alike by the long-haired beggars, passing down Into darker night. It seems like a barbarian temple. There are four enormous columns, sup porting ponderously the mighty dome from which hang ostrich eggs and a thousand savage pendants. Bits of paintings on the walls still show saints, with nimbus of gold, although smeared with dust and mold of centuries. All at once the Abyssinian priests Issue from the lower cavern, looking like the Magi of old, coming forth from earth, with their dark faces, great gold tiaras, long robes of cloth of gold, sewn with fanciful red and blue flowers. • • • Quick, quick, In that peculiar exalta tion which seems to animate every thing here, they pass through the crypts of the chapel and ascend to the other sanctuaries by the ruinous stair way. Illumined on the lower steps by the rays from the windows above, archaically splendid In their golden garb amid the crouching gnomes of the stairway—then all at once they melt away In the darkness as If swallowed up. Far from there, In the sanotuartes of the entrance, near the altar of the Sepulcher, rises the Rock of Calvary. It is surmounted by two chapels to which we ascend by a flight of 20 stone steps, and these are to the crowd the real place for prostration and tear . The Ghost-Haunted Desert of Gobi. Slowly we traveled across the great waste of Dzungaria, the "soul-appall ing Gobi" of some writers, but to us a land of beauty, even If of a Bome what terrifying character. For here, more nearly than In any other land, says Douglas Carruthers In the Wide World Magazine, is beauty allied to terror. These silent steppes, the natives be llfeve, are the haunts of “genii” and the rendezvous of evil spirits. As a recent writer has said: "The great Bandy desert of Gobi has been looked on as the dwelling place of malignant beings from the days of hoary an tiquity.” All luckless travelers In this region, from the days of Marco Polo onward, have recorded strange stories of weird beings that Inhabit the depths of the wastes. Mysterious sing ing and walling, beating of drums, and distant music are Bald to beguile the traveler and lead him off the track until he Is hopelessly lost In the wilderness. A recent Russian explorer gives quite a detailed account of the wild men of the desert. Listen to the strange story told by KoslOff, who tra versed the desert of Dzungaria In Its widest part not long ago: “These wild men, the Kyz-JCyks as they are called, are covered with short wool similar to the fur of a young camel. They have long black hair and black eyes. They are of ordinary size, but rather long legged. They roam the steppe In pairs, and when harassed by man they scream, whistle, and snarl as they run away. The native Kirghiz claim to have caught them occasionally, but the captives refuse food and drink, and die after a few days." How tho Woman Respond. From the Portland (Ore.) Journal The city auditor. A. L. Barbur, has sent another appeal to the women of the city to assist him In filling vacancies In the list of judges and clerks for the forth coming primary election. This appeal Is contained In a letter written by tho city auditor to Mrs. Sarah Evans, president of the State Federation of Women s clubs. Mrs. Evans la asked to have her organ ization suggest the names of women who would be willing to serve as election offi cials. "It hi not alone of Importance to the organization and to all women voters," reads the city auditor's letter, "but It is also important to the- city that the elec tion be carried on In a competent man ner and that an honest count may be had. I trust, therefore, that vou will give this matter your Immediate atten tion. which wM be appreciated by me." That the women of the city take a live Interest In municipal affairs Is evidenced by the fact that more than 16 offered their services as election officials before noon, though the letter written by the auditor was sent out only y~-*erday. Experimental hops are now being raised at the government botanical sta tion, near Pretoria. ' ■ T weu. every- 1 / j MlNINQ STOCK >fou IN-1 QON £ u£Jj*ly>T Children and the Streets. From the Manitoba Free Press. With the letter of “J. D. S.” addressed to the Winnipeg city cierk and printed In this issue of the Free Press, we have little sympathy. It is a letter which challenges reply to the following ques tion: Is it in the greater interests of the community that automobile owners should be able to move rapidly from point to point or that children should be allowed to play upon the streets? The suggestion that adequate facili ties for children’s play already exist in -the city recreation grounds is ona which will not bear examina tion. It betrays little study of tha problem. While the work of the Play ground commission is admirable and beyond all praise, it is only necessary to consider the position of the play grounds with respect to the homes of the children and to the ages of the chil dren, the availability of the play grounds with respect to the children’s different play-hours, and the capacity of the playgrounds with respect to tha number of children who need play room, to come td this conclusion that the present playground accommodation is wholly and utterly inadequate. In a really well-ordered community probably every third or fourth lot would be left permanently vacant and equipped as a playground. But whether the youthful ardor of children should even then, be forced to spend itself in restricted areas of this kind may bo debated. For in Canada it has been a tradition—ana on the whole a wise one —that children should be given the greatest possible freedom and elbow room. The old fashioned and discred ited maxim that children should be seen and not heard has never found favor on this side of the water. The suggestion that children should be kept off the streets sniffs, however, strong ly of this obsolete doctrine. What would the proposals mean, if carried out? In the residential sec tions of the south, and west it would mean restricting either to the house or to the garden, back or front, in the case of the greater number of the chil dren's play times. Restriction to the house is self condemned. But restric tion to front and back gardens means interference with domestic operations and with gardening proclivities. Also It means that one or two householders must consent to their gardens being the rendezvous of the children of the neighborhood. This is the position with regard to the better class residential* districts. What would be the position of the children if kept off the streets in some of the poorer districts of the citv? Children do not play upon the streets out of pure cussedness or contrariness. They play there in pursuance of per fectly natural instincts, instincts which are healthy, and which, if exercised, are calculated to make strong, resourceful and adaptable men and women, such as Canada needs. If these instincts are thwarted and nature flouted by restric tion of the children’s playing room the result can only be less virility in the children. On the other hand, what is to be gained by the exclusion of children from the city streets? Is there any economic gain commensurate with the prejudice to the children? We fail to see it. We fail to see that legitimate trade or the rights of autombbllists will be unduly interfered with by re quiring careful and cautious driving on residential streets. Thus the only gain—if such it can be called—would be an increase of sat isfaction to the automobile owners in permitting speedier travel. While this class—a small class relative to the rest of the population—has undoubtedly its rights, while the automobile is a mod ern and useful institution, it would be fatal to forget that the rights of child hood are primary and fundamental. As a community we should be passing foolish to Increase the privilege of au tomobile owners at the expense of the children. Nor can we believe that any considerable portion of the automobile owners of Winnipeg share the desire of “J. D. S.” to banish children from the streets in order that the pleasure of the motorist may be perfect. Forced Feeding. It is the opinion expressed by James Douglas, in London Opinion, that more forced feeding goes on during the Lon don season—he has the suffragets in mind—outside the jails than inside of them—that is Inside the jails. He notes the numberless luncheons and dinners and suppers that "demoralized the con gested districts" of the bored, and the twittering of 10,000 tongues. "The poor dears," he says, “talk their nerves into rags and then wonder what is the mat ter with them. The consequence of this feverish life is the wreckage of the whole nervous system.

Och, why would I be tellin’: Where she is gone there I can never go. —Moira O’NeUL THE LURE OF THE WEST WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS, Writing on the Canadian West, an I eastern exchange truthfully says: “The West still calls with impera tive voice. To prairie and mountain, and for the Paclflo Coast, Ontario’s young men and women are attracted by tens of thousands yearly. The great migration has put an end to the fear, freely expressed not many years ago by those who knew the West from the lakes to the farther coast of Van couver Island, that Canada would some day break In two because of the predominance of Continental European and American settlers In the West." This Is true. While the Immigra tion from the United States is large, running close to 150,0*6 a year, that of the British Isles and Continental Europe nearly twice that number, mak ing a total of 4M.064 per year, there Is a strong influx from Eastern Can ada. It Is not only Into the prairie provinces that these people go, but many of them continue westward, the glory of British Columbia’s great trees and great mountains, the excellent agricultural valleys, where can be grown almost all kinds of agriculture and where fruit has already achieved prominence. Then the vast expanse of the plains attract hundreds of thou sands, who at once set to work to cul tivate their vast holdings. There Is still room, and great opportunity In the West. The work of man’s hands, even In the cities with their record breaking building rush. Is tfie small est part of the great panorama that Ira spread before the eye on a Journey through the country. Nature Is still supreme, and man Is still the divine pigmy audaciously seeking to impose his wil and stamp his mark upon an unconquered half continent The feature that most commends Itself In Western development today Is the “home-making spirit” The West will find happiness In planting trees and making gardens and build ing schools and colleges and universi ties, and producing a home environ ment so that there will be no disposi tion to regard .the country as a tem porary place of pbode In which every one Is trying to make his pile prepar atory to going back East or becoming M lotus-eater beside the Pacific. The lure of the West Is strong. It will be still stronger when the crude new towns and villages of the plains are embowered In trees and vocal with the song of birds.—Advertise ment. Vacillating.

It was sore and itched all the time. The matter that ran from her head was very thick. I did not comb her hair very often, her head was too sore to comb It, and when I did comb, It came out In bunches. Some nights her head Itched so bad she could not sleep, “I tried several different soaps and ointments, also patent medicine, but nothing could I get to stop it. I began 'uBing Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment this summer after I sent for the free samples. I used them and they did so much good I bought a cake of Cutlcura Soap and some Cutlcura Ointment.

The various tests for color blind ness have come into practical use In the examination of railroad engineers and the like, where the ability to dis tinguish colors Is necessary, so that these tests are no longer peculiar to the laboratory. But It Is not gener ally known outside the laboratory that everybody Is partially color blind— that is. In certain parts of the field of vision. The most normal Individual can see all the colors only when he looks directly at them. If looked at from an angle of about fifteen degrees red and green can no longer be seen, but in their places will appear shades of yellow or blue. This region of the eyes Is known as the yellow-blue zone. If the color be moved still farther to the side the yellow and blue will dis appear and only gray can be seen. This region Is known as the zone of complete color blindness. An Inter esting theory In regard to these zones is that every normal eye represents three stages of evolution. The zone of complete color blindness Is the low est stage, and appears In such ani mals as the frog, whose vision Is known as shadow vision. The blue yellow zone Is one step higher in the scale, although not clearly marked off In the animal kingdom. And the appearance of the red-green zone marks the highest stags of evolution. Cases of color blindness are, accord ing to this theory, a lack of develop ment beyond the early stage of indi vidual life.—Strand Magazine. The Lesser of Two Evils. A gentleman from the north was en joying the excitement of a bear hunt down in Mississippi. The bear was surrounded in a small cane thicket. The dogs could not get the bear out and the planter who was at the head of the hunt called to one of the ne groes : "Sam, go in there and get the bear out." The negro hesitated for a moment and then plunged into the cane. A few moments after the negro, the bear and the dogs were rolling upon the ground outside. After the hunt was over the visitor said to the negro: "Were you not afraid to go into that thicket with that bear?” “Cap’n,” replied the negro. “It wus jest dis way.
