DISCOVERY ADDS MUCH TO THE WEALTH OF MEXICO, TEXAS, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO AND NEIGHBORING STATES.

Galveston, Texas, May 15. The discovery by Oscar Pacius, of Monterey, ' Mexico, of a process for extracting wax from the candeliila . weed has created a new and important industry In Mexico and Texas. , The candeliila weed is a desert .plant which grows abundantly upon many million of acres of semi-arid land in Northern Mexico and parts of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. It 4s one of the types of vegetation pe

culiar to the Southwest which long had been looked upon as useless. It

was despised by cattlemen because it

has the faculty of forming such a dense growth upon lands as to shut

raut the grass and thus Injure the

(range for grazing purposes.

To Reap Fortune.

- Land owners who have thus form

rly despised weed growing upon

their holdings' now find themselves in

a fair way to reap a fortune from the

utilisation of the plant. . This already la being done in Mexico, and steps bare been taken in Texas to carry

i the manufacture of wax from the

j plant . -"y

When it was discovered a few years

ago that a good grade of crude rubber could be manufactured from the guayule shrub experiments were be-

I gun by Mr. Pacius and others with

various other kinds of wild vegeta

tion. Mr. Pacius found that the canjdelllla contained wax to the amount t of .3 to 4 per cent. He perfected a

I process of extracting the wax, and it :ls in practical operation in several factories that have been established 'In Northern' Mexico. .

The new industry is having a rapid

growth. It is predicted by men who are familiar with the different variet- ' les of commercial wax that it will not 'be long until the principal source of

supply of that product will come from the candeliila plant. It means an : enormous increase of wealth to the (people of Texas, Mexico, Arizona and 'New Mexico, where this plant is found -tn Its native state. , -.'4-?ir On Paying Basis. ... The manufacture of this vegetable rax already is on a paying commercial basis. The demand for the prr

auot comes at this time chiefly from Germany, and the factories which are In operation are making regular shipments to Hamburg. The present price in Mexico is $600 gold per ton. It is said that about thirty tons of the weed are required to make one ton of the crude wax. The same factory that manufactures the crude wax .from the plant also puts the product 'through the refining process. The cost of producing a ton of the wax Is $75 gold. One Important and 'valuable advantage of the new industry is that the refuse of the week Is available for fuel for the factory. The land upon which the candeliila iweed grows profusely is producing a big revenue per acre in the localities where factories hare been established. It is said that where land is well set In the plant tt can be made to yield a profit of $200 to $300 gold per acre per annum. ' It has been demonstrated that cutting off of the stems of the plant close to the ground causes it to multiply Its shoots, and the yield will be increased each year until the whole surface of the ground is densely covered with the weed.' Demand Is Heavy. It is asserted that the demand for vegetable wax In Mexico and many foreign countries is far in excess of the available supply. A vegetable wax is made in Brazil from the carnauba plant. The candeliila product has been tested by electrical and other concerns in Germany and Austria and pronounced first class. Its superior hardness has caused -tt to be in demand for the manufacture of phono graph records, pharmaceutical , articles, varnishes, shoe leather and wood polishes, insulation In electrical wiring gums and candles. In Mexico alone the -annual consumption of candles Is enormfus In every village and town candles constantly are burning in the Catholic churches, and wax tapers are in use in many homes.

The Wayne Stock Company. When the Wayne Stock Compan

comes to the Gennett for a three night

engagement, commencing Thursday they will present for the opening show "The White Hat." If it was asked

what especial feature of "The White

Hat' 'appeals most strongly to the pub

lie, it would be hard to answer, because

of the variety of features offered. Tak

ing the musical comedy as a whole, it might be argued that the consistency of its construction and general wholesome tone of the play is best feature of its successfulness. The music is

catchy ,the specialties are all good, the comedy is clever, the chorus is big and effective, the cast is, without

question, the best obtainable, the stage effects are striking and the play itself

one of the season's successes. The

company will be . greeted by a full house oh Thursday evening.

At the Arcade. This is a red letter week at the Ar

cade. : In addition to their regular

program, which includes Mr. Harry Frankel, 'soloist, there is being run a special feature. Hand colored views

of the wonderful Yellowstone Park, the most beautiful ever shown in

Richmond, are thrown on the screen

at every performance. There are over one hundred slides, so that with ev

ery change of moving pictures there is a complete new set of thirty-five views. The public has never before had such an opportunity to see the wonders of their national park. '

The New Phillips. It is said by the exchanges that the spectacular t novelty put on. in vaudeville by the Edna Davis Trio is one of the most fascinating acts ever produced. By the aid of electricity and special scenery, the three members of the company execute some of the prettiest dances and sing some of the prettiest song htts of the season. This wonderful trio comes to the Phillips

Hamlin and Noyes put on a little comedy playlet that is short but interesting. Comedy finds a way to the sea in their act and the buoyancy and sparkle of their lines is indeed heightening. Carrath, said to be world famous in

balancing feats, is the first ticket of

importance tomorrow. He has a new

line which you certainly will not want

to mlsa. -

At the Head. It Is stated In Mr. andsMrs. PenneD's "Life of James MacXeill Whistler" m that part which relates "to hl brief West Point career that the great American painter, was not "soldierly in appearance, bearing or habit." Whistler's horsemanship is said to have been hardly better than his scholarship. According to General Webb, it was not wholly unusual for him at cavalry drill to go sliding over his horse's head. On such occasions Major Sackett, then in command, would call out: f"Mr. Whistler, aren't you a little ahead of the squad?" ' According to Whistler's' version to the Pennells, Major Sacketfs remark was: f "Mr. Whistler. I am pleasGl to see you for once at the head of yoclass." i She Almost Romomborod. Little Josephine, aged frour.was intently studying the pictures in a book and seemed very much Interested in a picture, of Charles Dickens. 1 . Taking the book to her mother, she Inquired who it was. . "That is Dickens, dear." said her mother. The plctur as 'wonderfully fascinating to the little giti.jnd when her big slstet came from college In the evening she ran end got the book, turned to the picture and said: "Sister, see! This is a picture of Mr. Darn." . Her "sister replied, "No, dear, that Is Mr. Dickens." Well." said Josephine. "I knew it was some kind of a swear word." Delineator.

CITY GOVERNOR OF CESAREA

PREVENTED MURDER OF ARMENIANS BY SECURING MES

SAGE AT PISTOL'S POINT.

Aintab, Asiatic Turkey, May 18. It was learned ber today that the local governor received from Constantinople on the day following the out

break of anti-Christian rioting at Ad

ana, a message suggesting the killing of Armenians as a precaution against

insurrection. The sender of this message was closely connected with the j official life of the administration then I in power., The governor communicated this idea to certain important persons at !

Aintab who called a meeting of the Beys to consider it. The Beys, almost to 'a man refused to have anything to do with the proposed massacre, whereupon the governor let the matter drop. Twenty-two thousand refugees were fed in Adana yesterday. It is estimated that 4,000 refugees are ill, 400 from measfes, dysentary and typhoid fever. VIGOROUS ACTION. Cesarea, May 15. Vigorous action by " the city - governor prevented a massacre of Armenians at Cesarea. When the governor received a telegram from Constantinople directing him to take sharp measures against Armenians and Syrians, he tore the communication up. He then sent for the commander of the troops and asked him if he had a similar message. Upon receiving an affirmative reply, he demanded that It be given over to him. The commandant demurred. The governor then took a revolver from his desk and covering the commandant, said: "Unless you hand that message ov

er to me at once, I will blow out your brains." The commandant surrendered the dispatch.

TOWN OF GOLD BRICKS.

Wealth Found In the Walls of Mexican Adobe Houses. ' There are many remarkable towns In Mexico, but none more interesting than Guanajuato, "the. hiM of the frog." It might more properly be called the "gold brick town," for the houses have been found to contain much gold. This is a curious situation, but it came about naturally. - Guanajuatopronounced Wah-nah-wahto is one of the oldest mining towns in Mexico, but the value of the place as a town was discovered when a ral'road company decided to build a station there. It was found necessary to tear down about 300 adobe buildings, which were made of the refuse of various mines afrr the ore was extracted. When it became known that the old adobe buildings would be torn down pieces taken at random were assayed. It was found that because of the old process, which left much gold and sil

ver, tbejr assayed from $3 to $24 a ton.

The mean value was estimated to run about $8 gold a ton. The old buildings have brought about

$30,000 Mexican, in gold, and persons

who have built since the new machinery has been installed in the mines are bemoaning the fact that the new houses do not contain as much gold as , the old. Scientific American.

Pernambuco means "the mouth of hell." in allusion to the violent surf that Is always seen at the mouth of its chief river.
