The action of a recent citizen of Mexico brings up the question. Pedro Alvarado, of Parral, Mexico, has just offered to pay the entire ia-tlonal debt of Mexico, for the reason, as he explains, that his millions tame from the soil of Mexico, that the title for the mines which he owns was given by the government, and that, ulton's Children's Clothing: ate preparations for the ceremony and burned numerous candles ihefore his Joss.

Cordell 'Herald-Sentinel: It Is reported that Wichita capital is willing to build a hotel at Hobart If a site is given and $2,000 In cash.

Hobart seems to be full of hotels now, but none are large enough to suit the irade. The city has out-grown them. Cordell needs a good hotel and offers a good oppor tunity to capital seeking this kind of an Investment. 'At a meeting of Hohart's company of national guards the following officers were elected: R.

Sprlngstead. New York, April 3. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Spenser Sprlngstead, aged 17 and 15 years respectively, have returned to their homes in Pleasant Plains, S.

1., after a splendid honeymoon of eight days. Samuel and his bride, who was Wilhelmina Cole, have been sweethearts since he used to drag her sled and spend his spare pennies on chewing gum, ginger cakes, crackers," and the other delights ot youth That they were to be married was agreed even while she was struggling with the alphabet and he with the intricacies of the multiplication table. Samuel had more than one hard fight to convince the other boys that Joking about his sweetheart was not to be tolerated. When the girls would poke fun at Wilheliiiim she wiiild tilt her little nose upward in scorn and toll them that none of them were engaged to be married. Their parents, very good friends, were pleased with the childish affection.

Samuel and Wilhelmina, having reached what they decided to be mature years, more than a week ago, decided that they should carry out the.r long deferred plan. They had been to Sunday school and had heard the story of Jamb and Rachel. They dls-cused it as they walked together, and Samuel averred that he had waited three years longer than the faithful suitor of the Bible. Samuel had in his pocket whith he had saved. It seemed a very large amount to the youngster.

Samuel had explained a week before to his sweetheart's and to his own parents their desire to be married. They had laughed at him and told him to work harder, get a home and then if they would the two could marry. This, a week later, seemed very much like consent. Thrr knew that i denomination. All the necessary land has been bought, and the work on the new building will begin in the fall.

BOHEMIAN PIANIST Better Than Paderewshi, Yet He Is Neglected. Chicago, April 3. Embittered by a disappointment in love. Hei Malek, ft young Ltohemian pianist, whose genius is rank-ek by Kuropean critics above that of Paderewski, took ship for the States seven mouths ago to win the fame which an appreciative American public has so often accorded to musicians of lesser talent. He is now in Chicago, lovelorn and suffering from homesickness and from a poignant sense of failure.

The wry night that be was to play a solo in a large concert at Berlin Malek received his conge from the woman he loved. Cnable to face his audience, ha disappeared without bidding adieu to his friends and admirers, and boarded a steamer for New York where he waa confident he could outdo the success of Kubelik, his friend and countryman, but he received a cold reception from the managers who there exploit foreign artists. Unable to finance a recital on a large scale, he came to Chicago where he hoped to receive a more cordial welcome. Malek has been here in the city five months and has as yet been unable to se cure recognition. Part of the time he has been pniched by poverty, and he is now eking out a scanty living by giving a few pupils lessons on the piano.

At pres ent he Is living at the home of Mrs. W. S. Cunningham, 1611 Michigan avenue, who is aiding him to achieve his artistic ambitions. Malek is 27 years oM and is said to be the greatest pianist Bohemia has eve produced.

He has concert programs upon which appears as the leading attraction, followed by that of Kubelik in small type. He claims to have a larger repertory than Paderewski and to be abla to play selections which only two other living pianists can master. A few days ago he played at Lyon Healy's, rendering a composition dedicated to himself by a friend who had attempted to write something impossible to play. "Paderewski could not play that," he said in Mot rmon BlShOPfr PUIS their louoweii. rosiurcijr ictf-abuse dissipatioa, excesses, or his broken EngllBh, when he had ended.

He has with him tho violin with which Kubelik made his debut, an instrument lent by Malek, or at that time Kubelik was too poor his own instrument. He also has part of a splendid musical library gathered while he was "Kappel-meister" (orchestra leader) in Germany but lie was forced to sacridce three largo diamonds given him by the Prince von Furstenberg, one of his pupils. Ho let' the jewels go for $10 apiece, thinking that lie was pawning them, but found that he had been hoaxed by the broker into an actual sale. A studio In the Fine Arts building will be secured for Malek by Mrs. Cunning-' ham, Mrs.

S. J. Gorman and several other women who have the greatest conn dence in his powers. REAL ESTATE DEALS. Wm.

Pedro is worth 140,000,000, and, while the Mexican government has declined his offer, there la no question of his good faith In making it. Now why should Mexico reject the offer unless it be that the statesmen of that country like those in Great Britain and America look upon the national debt as a means of preserving the nation. Today there are billions Invested in national debts. The people hold the bonds or consols and it is supposed that In their anxiety to keep them at par or above they will do nothing to encourage disruption of the government. Recently Secretary Shaw made' n.

move which Is calculated to perpetuate rather than cancel the national debt. He has announced that he will resume the interrupt, process of exchanging 2 per cent coii.sols due In 19X0 for the 4 per cent bonds of RtuT and the .1 per cent bonds of lUOS-lDU as rast as these latter are presented to him. As the consols are put out at 102, and as the owners or me iaui tiiinim must put them in at a price that will net only 2Vi per cent per annum for the time they still have to run, there is a profit to the I'nited States on the transaction. Against this there is the distinct disadvantage for the country that in place of bonds which it could pay off and retire in a few years, it will bo saddled with an outstanding loan, amounting in all to possibly $775,000,000, which it cannot pay off until HMO. The only excuse for such an issue is that it provides a steady basis for the national bank circulation.

The only comment to be made on the excuse, says a writer, is that it is a pity that this country's currency system is so lame-legged and addle-pated that a national debt has to be maintained fur its benefit. The T'nited States has a per capita debt very much smaller than that of any other world power except the German empire, but that is no reason why It should bo perpetuated. One cannot always Judge of nn enterprise by the character of the person who seeks to promote It. Indeed, it is often the most commendable schemed thai are taken up by sharpers and 'tricksters to assist them in fleecing thu public. There seems to be no reason to doubt that ('yes, the man who toolt the initiative In creating an interest in the plan to build an Interurban railway from Mcl'heraon to Arkansas City, has been guilty of some shady work, but every day that pusses confirms some of the business men Wichita In the belief that his plan is feasible.

It now quite probable that audi ruud will by built soon and if it is built it will certainly be a great 'help to every town and even the country districts through which It runs. Wichita is so conveniently situated with reference to the coal and usphalt lauds of the Chickasaw and Comanche country that any action promising to result in their opening and development ia certainly of great interest here. These lands are unusually rich in deposits of foal and asphalt and the announcement that a million and a quarter acres would be segregated from the reserve and sold for development should be greeted with pleasure by our people. With improved railroad facilities that will probably be provided during the next year the opening of these coal and asphalt beds would mean much to Wichita by insuring an Inexhaustible supply of fuel und paving material almost at our doors. The extent to which a man will sometimes make hia business and even his reputation become subservient to bis party Is shown by the action of Councilman John P.

Hiekam, of Perkins, O. who was willing that his name should be smirched and his business neglected In order to prevent a disruption in the Republican party of the territory. It Is quite probable that J. P. Morgan will present his art works to the public as that is the only method of escaping taxation.

These trust made millionaires, reaping their wealth Mirough a system of taxing the people, deem it too humiliating to be caught in their own trap.

Hurton will roost South Carolina and Its laws and Tillman will conic hack at the little peculiarities of Kansas.

To rob an alderman is decidedly unprofessional. Wichita should have the poultry show.

You can overdo an apology. FA-ery mother of fifty is a caricature of 'her daughter half her age.

You travel toward the grave fast enough, at don't take a fast train. A man never knows how much a woman owes to curl papers until he has married one. Kvery one who has a painful corn demands sympathy, even from those who have cancer. A man never realizes what a big quarry he Is until he finds that dinner is not on the table. An Atchison girl, who is a dream when it comes to looks, is about to marry a man who is a nightmare.

At Pleasant Springs there was a tearful parting. Their fathers were away and the mothers, who had been distraught over their absence, were quick to forgive, for Samuel's mother loved Wilhelmia, and i)er mother loved 'Samuel. The irate fathers were soon brought to terms.

There was a grand family council with the boy husband and girl bride present. They were forgiven when they agreed to live at home until young Samuel had perfected himself in bis father's business and Wilhelmina had sufficiently learned the duties of house keeping in which her mother believed she had never taken sufficient interest. There was a general jubilation and the boy went home with his father, after shaking hands with his father-in-law, kissing his mother-in-law and wife. Of course, his father kissed the bride, and she was kissed by everybody. There was a great deal of genuine happiness on Staten Island, though husband and wife were parted.

FRANCE HERETIC MAD That I the Opinion of Bishop M. F. Burke, New York, April 3. Bishop M. F.

Burke of St. Joseph, who went to Rome to attend the pope's jubilee, returned by way of France, and reached this country on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. He went through France that he might make a personal examination of the ex tent of the new law expelling certain Catholic orders from that country. His Investigations were continued for three weeks, and, according to his observations, as expressed, France is running heretic mad. "It is not a case of the Calholic church but an absolute disregard of the Mastor," said he.

"Franco wants to be dechristian-Ized. She wants no Christianity be it the doctrine of Protestant, Catholic or otherwise. The bill attacking Christianity is called the Rousseau law, and the expulsion of the sisters. Christian Brothers and monks is being done under the direction of President Coombes of the council. "Kngland recognizing the injustice of the whole affair and the dangers to Chrfs-tianity through such a law, has offered those expelled an asylum on the island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean.

This island is four miles northwest of Malta, and is nine miles long by four and a half miles wide. Those who are not coming to Can ada and this country will go there. The Christian world should be deeply grateful to Kngland in this matter. "The condition of Christianity In France Is certainly desperate. The animosity is not directed against any church in particular.

There is a devout hatred of religion of no matter what creed. Such orders as the Iidy of the Sacred Heart, which have withstood the blasts of political Franco for centuries, are effected by it and when I left three of the most famous convents of the Sacred Heart had been closed.
