which involves a recent diplomatic episode
Souora Din Matlas. Romero is tbe wife of the
Mexican minister at Wasbinpton She is
better known as. Mme Romero and under
that name she lias made a famous reputa
tion for hospitality durinc tbe eleven years
in which ber busband has represented tbe
Republic of Mexico at the national capital
Mme Romero was a Philadelphia woman
and she had many friends in Washnmtou
when she married the minister from Mexiuo.
but she has made many more by tbe pracious
hospitality wblch she has ttispeused for
many years at the Mexican lepation Her
receptions are famous aud her dinners and
balls are arnoup the most interesting feat
ures of the social season at 'U'ashinpton.
During tbe past season people who were ac
quainted with Mme liomero were surprised
to see tbroupb announcements iu tbe "so
ciety" columns of tbe local papers that sbe
had been at a number of entertainments
piven by people who were not exactly of tbe
set in wliich Mme Romero has always
moved They were doubtless charmmp people
ple but they were not the extremely fashion
able people with whom Mme Romero bas
been intimate , and with whom tier pasition
in tbe diplomatic corps , asmucb as ber apree-
able personality and ber family claims pave
her unquestioned standinc Many of these
people w ho know Mine Romero so well did
not know that Senor Romero's brother ,
Senor Don Cayetano. bad come to Washing
ton as first secretary of lepation and bad
been cbarpe d affaires durincr the absence
of Minister Roniei-o at tbe Mexican capital.
It was tbis Mme Romero whose name was
constantly appearinr in tbe newspapers In
tbe absen'-e of Minister Komero bis wife bus
spent the past season rather quietly , but
wherever sbc bas been sbe bas been annoyed
with constant inquiries about ber move
ments. as ber friends supposed them to bi
set forth in tbe newspaper paragraphs The
climax was capped o.v an incident which
was telecraphed over the country about sii
weeks ape A paracraph wus sent out from
Buffalo sayin ? that Mme Romero of Wash-
mcton who was tniTcltus witb a friend
had by mistake administered a poison to
her companion , and that it was with creat
difficulty that the other woman's lift as
saved As Mme R imero is so well known
over tbe "L'nitefl States , aud as no explana
tion was pixen in the tel'-praptuc dispatch as
to tlie identity of the Mine. liomero of the
traric episode at Buflalo , all of the friends
of the Mme Romero who read the
paragraph bolieveH ' that it .con
cerned her As a consequents sht
was delured with inquiries and
messages of sympathy , aud she finally found
it necessary to un'ify her friends tbrouch a
newspaper paragraph , which was widely
circulated , that "Mme Romero" had not
been absent from Wasbinpton at all tbis
winter.

Tbe svstem adopted in tbe statistician s

There would bai e to lie a combination of em

airenls of tlie department could not furnish
absolute infonnation. for in addition to the
set of correspou lents which reparls to each

correspondents rep.irtiuir from the same
counties direct to the department at Wash-
mrton From these independent reports
and th - reports of spmual upants the statis

leads him to modify the eroparorapes as

no positive knowledge of what averupe xvill

together will have any kuoMledre of final

which modify very materially the reports
which they seat in by mail With these
teleprams and with the results of
the work of the cleris in tbe differ

the statistician locks himself in his oHUsc
with his stenorrapher and his assistant and
proceeds to fipure out the avcrape It is a
matter of very nice adjustment As fast as
the report is made up the stenocrapher nuts
it on a duplicatmp machine and prints cojiios

there was no telepraph operator at the de

there was always a race between the ines-
