president of South American Repub
lic Formerly a Muleteer. Has Got
he Better of World's Diplomats,
“They told me in Lia Guayra, the port
¢ Caracas, that this now notorious
qutocral was originally a muleteer
.nd cattle smuggler down in the state
s Andes, says a writer in the Lon
. Times. But he suddenly appears
o the Caracas Hall of congress in
atent leather boots which so amused
<enor Castro himself (they wore no
1< where he came from) that he was
Wiced to take them off and put them
on the desk in front of him.
On my way to see the president I
oticed an ascent on that tortuous
journey of nearly 4,000 feet. Caracas
Las an almost perfect climate and a
sopulation of about 120,000. I was
«mused to see in all the big office

(astro is paramount now, and has
seen for years. All his enemies are
' killed or imprisoned in the dungeons
nder Maracaibo’s old fort, or else
exiled in Bogota, Paris, New York or
London. How Castro started with au
army of twenty-three muleteers and
smucelers; how his force grew and
srew: how he directed battles from
o horse litter, where he was confined
with broken legs—these and other epi
«odes are but incidents in this wonder
-1l man’s career.
verybody in the town speaks of him
+ith bated breath--some of them pret
ty boldly, for he was away in his little
sountain resort of La Vietoria, where
be utterly disregarded cablegrams of
nternational blockades and such-like
Joresomé things, on the principle that
‘they will arrange themselves if they
are let alone.”” Indeed, the president
will often disappear altogether, leav
ngno address at the American lega
tion.
Castro is always popular with his
wople, for he gives them no end of
oncerts, dances and bull fights. He
requently retires to bed at 5 o’clock
i the morning and receives visitors at
midday in his night-dress. He is a
thick set, keen eyed man, much below
middle height, and with his Indian
nlood showing most plainly. I do not
think he is an inch over five feet, and
e 1s stooping at that.
\nd vet here is the man who has
wred the country with a handful

stions about the navy and army of
their country, fQand fully believes
bat the one warship he has seen in
his life- the president’s Sarmiento, of
the Argentine Republic—is the most
vowerful battleship in the world.
President Castro did not conceal his
contempt for Kngland and Germany,
and [ afterward heard he was unaware
Ofthe very existence of India and
Australia.

Stature, 5
It is common knowledge in Caracas
that the president detests Mr. Bowen,
the American minister, solely on the
ground that this now famous diplomat
is almost a giant.
An American official on one occa
sion took him an important telegram
to his mountain retreat and found him
at an open air picnic of peasants and
pretty girls.
““You cannot talk about business,”’
a high official said. ‘See, his excellen
¢y is dancing ?’
‘“‘Have you any notion,’’ the Ameri
can said, ironcally, ‘*when President
Castro will stop dancing 7"’
Castro’s right-hand man threw up
his arms with a gentle ‘‘Quien sabe?
He has been doing it for the last five
days.’’ Just then the president saw
his visitor. The girl hanging on his
arm took the telegram and read it,
whereupon Castro stopped the band
and made a speech about shedding
his blood for the sacred soil of Bolivar
and so on. The girls shouted ap
plause, while the dancers banged emp
ty beer bottles on the iron tables.
An amazing man truly! Knowing
nothing of military science, he has yet
carried everyvthing before him in bat
tle. Though he has never left his
own country, yet he has got the better
of the most skillful diplomats and
men of the world: and there is at this
hour not the slightest chance of any
rival ousting him from his remarka
ble position as insolent and autocrat
ic dictator.
INTERESTS OF AGRICULTURE
Purpose of International Congress to
Meet In Rome, Italy,
King Victor Emmunuel of Italy has
taken the initial step toward conven
ing an international agricultural con
gress at Rome, Italy, says the Wash
ington Star. The convention will be
called for the specifig purpose of estab
lishing an iuternutioxul chamber of ag
riculture, the primary objects of which
would Dbe to collect and disseminate
correct information relative to prices
of agricultural products all over the
world, the condition of crops harvested
and under cultivation, the stock on
hand and in transit, the creation of
centers of agricultural activity, the
federation of those now In existence,
the establishment of a permanent ex
change for agricultural products and
the drafting of agricultural treaties,
According to the present tentative
plans, the chamber is to be divided in
to two houses, an upper house, In
which each nation shall have an equal
representation, and a lower house, in
which the representation shall be In
proportion to the Interests represented.
The United States will be represent
ed at the conference by Ambassador
White and by Dr. Albert F. Woods,
chief pathologist and physiologist of
the department of agriculture, who is
also the United States delegate to the
second international botanical con
gress, to be held in Vienna June 12 to
18. Dr. Woods has published a num
ber of bulletins, monographs and re
ports, has contributed extensively to
agricultural and scientific j yurnals and
is well known in the botanical world.
In addition he is a member of the fore
most naiional and international scien
tific societies.
Leisure Time of Japanese Generals.
During the winter just passed Ja
pan's generals along the Shakhe river,
in Manchuria, spent their time vari
ously. “General Nodzu,” according to
Japanese newspapers, ‘‘studied type
writing. Genera] Kuroki kept barn
yard fowls. During the Heikoutal en
gagement General Kodama scarcely
slept at all for a whole week, but did
not seem one whit the worse for his
experience.” General Oyama was re
ported as being ‘“the same robust, mer
ry hearted gentleman as ever.”

THE WONDERFUL PROGRESS OF
A WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
Will Soon Celebrate the First Com
ing of Their Race to This Coun
try More Than 250 Years Ago.
The Jews of New York are prepar
ing to celebrate the first coming of
their race to this country 250 years
ago. Itisto be a notable event, in
which the Jews from other parts of the
United States will participate. It will
celebrate the wonderful progress of a
wonderful race. Two and a half cen
turies ago twenty -three Jews settled in
New York city-—the tirst of their race
in the new world. Some of them were
so poor their baggage was sold at
auction to pay for their passage.
The Dutch settlers regarded them as
outcasts, and treated them as such.
In their early history in New York
they were compelled to live apart from
the rest of the inhabitants, were for
bidden to buy land or sell goods at
retail, and during their first year they
were not even permitted to have a
place to bury their dead. They were
treated as pariahs and outcasts. |
Today there are 700,000 Jews in New
York city, or half ofthe entire number |
in the United States. One person out
of six in the entire c¢ity, and one out
of four in Manhattan and the Bronx.
The city of Jerusalem has a popula-i
tion of 50,000, only half of which are
Jews. New York city, therefore, hasf
twenty-eight times as many Jews as
Jerusalem. It lacks only 100,000 of
having as many Jews as there are in
all Asia aud Africa. The Jews of
New York own real estate to the esti
mated amount of $870,000,000, and
have an annual wholesale trade of
$950, 000, 000.
The Jews are notably charitable.
Last year the beneficiaries to their in
stitution amounted to $8,630,000. The
United Hebrew charities expended
$288,000 and looked after the needs of
10,000 applicants, representing 43.000
people. They have erected many hos
pitals and homes for orphans, widows
and the sick and helpless. The Mount
Sinai hospital costs $2,500,000.
The Jews are patriotic as well as
charitable. They rendered material
aid in both men and money in the rev
olutionary war. There were over 7,-
000 Jews in the cival war, and 2,000 in
the Spanash- American war. The Ger
man Jews in New York surpass ail
others in wealth, while the Russian
Jews out number all others. About
one-third of the lawyers of New York
are Jews. A large per cent of the
graduates and prize winners of the
;New York high school are Jewish
'boys and girls. Jews have contribut
‘ed liberallyto educational institutions,
a notable instance being Pulitzer’s
$1,000,000 donation to the Columbia
university.
JEFFRIES KNOCKED OUT.
Champion Pugilist Says He Will
Never Again Enter the Ring.
James J. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world, has been
knocked out. Disease accomplished
what no human being was ever able
to do. A combination of rheumatism
and malaria has put the pugilist out
of the 'fighting game for all the time,
according to Jeffries, who, cancelling
all engagements, has started for Los
Angeles to try to regain his health.
In the future 1t is Jeffries’ intention
to devote his time to several mining
claims which he and a brother own
in Arizona.
Minors Carried Booze.
Eight saloon keepers of Columbus
have been indicted by the grand jury
for hiring miners to deliver whiskey
parcels about the city.
Bilious Bill was getting bloated,
And his tongue was muchly coated.
Patent ‘‘tonics’’ wouldn’t cure hin.
Companies would not insure him.
All his friends were badly frightened,
But their spirits soon were lightened,
For Bill said—and they believed him—
EARLY RISER pills relieved him.
The famous little pills, Early Ris
ers, cure constipation, sick headache,
biliousness, ete., by their tonic effect
on the liver. They never gripe or
sicken, but impart early rising energy.

Representative Williams to Introduce
Three Bills Specifying Grounds for
Total and Partial Divorce.
George W. Williams, one of the
members of the legislature from Lau
rens county. will introduce three com
panion bills in the legislature, which,
if passed, will materially change the
divorce laws of Georgia.
His bills will make, if passed, the
following the only grounds for a total
divorce:
Intermarriage by persons within the
prohibited degree of consangiunity
and affinity.
Mental incapacity at the time of the
marriage.
Impotency at the time of the mar
riage. : :
Delicate state of the wife at the time
of the marriage unknown to the hus
band.”
Adultery in either party after mar
riage.
The foilowing reasons are allowed
for partial divorce only: :
Willful and continued desertion by
either of the parties for the term of
three years; the conviction of either
party for an offense involving moral
turpitude, and nnder which he or she
is sentenced to the penitentiary for the
term of two years or longer, or in case
of cruel treatment, or habitual intox
ication by either party.
POSTOFFICE IN A CHURCH.
Accommodation For Southern Bap
tist Conference at Kansas City, Mo.
The conference of the Southern Bap
tist church, which will be held at the
Calvary Baptist churcb in Kansas Clty,
Mo., beginning May 11, will have a
novel feature, says the Kansas City
Star. Joseph H. Harris, postmaster,
announced the other day that he would
establish a branch postoffice station
in the church, where all mail for those
in attendance at the conference will be
received. Stamps will be sold there
also for the accommodation of dele
gates and visitors.
Postmaster Harris was told that from
3000 to 5.000 persons will be in at
tendance at the conference, and he de
cided that the mail could be handled
with greater dispatch if the substation
was established in the church.
Get Wet Fad the Latest.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has introduced
a new rainy day fad, says a Washing
ton special dispatch to the New York
World. A few days ago two women,
one dressed in a rose colored gown that
must have cost several hundred dol
lars, the other in a black tailor made
affair that would put a large dent In a
bank president's monthly wage, saun
tered down Connecticut avenue at
Washington in the most nonchalant
way. It was raining in torrents, but
that did not seem to disturb the prom
enaders in the least. Now and then
they stopped to look into the shop win
dows. The walk led to the Turkish bath
patronized by the women of the social
ly prominernt set. The promenaders
were Mrs. Fish and a friend.
One Cent Telephone Calls,
A few days ago a telephone company
in Sandusky, 0., Inaugurated a tele
phone system at a rate of a cent per
call, says the Electrical Review. A
great many slot machines have been In
use in Sandusky heretofore, and con
tracts are now being signed up by al
most every one who has in any way
any use for the system.
Hot Weather Piles.
Persons afflicted with piles should
be careful at this season of the year.
Hot weather and bad drinking water
contribute to the conditions which
make piles more painful and danger
