FOLLOWERS OF DIAZ PLOTTING FOR REYES

Tex., Thought 7 a Brewing Kevoit. (National News Association) BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Dec. 9. Surrounded by many of the men who were mot prominent In the Diaz regime, Geni Bernardo Reyes, once general in chief of the Mexican army, is believed to be in this city, secretly planning a new revolution, by which It Is hoped to sweep Francisco I. Madcro out of power In Mexico. It was here that many years ago Porfirlo Diaz, with little wealth and but a few followers, organized the fight which made him absolute dictator of Mexico. Brownsville Is swarming with secret agents of the Madero government who are expected to attempt to arrest Reyes and rush him across the border to his certain death. United States Secret Service men are also here, determined to prevent the hatching' of a revolutionary plot against another government on U. S. soil. According to an official report sent to Madero in Mexico City by Major ja. commandant at Matamoras, Brownsville aisguisea laborer, walking with a V. - vaui l, ca J uic oomptnled by Miguel Quiroga and David Reyes Tetana. left a train at Roista Junction. Mex., Just south of Matamoras, from where they rode to the town on the American side of the river. By automobile, by train and on horseback they had covered the distance southward from Falfurrlas, Tex., to Mler on the Mexican side and from there down the river to the coast country. A report published here today but which lacks official confirmation is that Dr. Esplnba de Los Monteros, ten days ago crossed the frontier Into Mexico near Jaurez at the head of a considerable body of men recruited by a prominent business man of San Antonio. The information reached here in a letter from San Antonio. It also states that with Monteros Is a board of strategy, Including Major Carlos Gonzales and Juan Palaclos, Captains Luis Perez, Manuel Gomez and Thomas Brave. He is accredited with having two machine guns and a signal service corps well equipped and under the direction of a telegrapher named Juan Fernandez De Castro. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR.

La Pearl's voice Is de clared to be of splendid quality, rich, resonant and clear as a bell, while in tone It is sweet nd sympathetic. In the metropolis he has sung from the top of a 24-story building, a distance of 500 feet from the ground, and from the roofs of other sky-scrapers in New York and Chicago. His voice has been heard from the high tower at Luna Park, Coney Island. He nas sung from the top of the Masonic Temple in Chicago, from the roof of the Flood Building in San Francisco and from many other high altitudes, but what he considers his greatest feat up to date, was when he extended his voice in a captive balloon 850 feet in the air at the White City in Chicago. "Cowboy and the Thief." The Cowboy and The Thief which Manager Murray will offer his patrons at the Gennett tonight is a play of the heart interest, abounding in abundent comedy and stirring Incidents of af adventure which thrill the nerves not too much, but Just enough. There is very little (gun-play) to offend the car, but a great deal that is beautiful in the way of scenic equipment to please the eye. "The Cowboy and the Thief" comes well recommended from every large city where it has played this season. Few plays of western life have been successes west of the Missouri river. This is mainly due to the fact that their characters aYe overdrawn and the situations do not ring true. This play was written by J. Wendel Davis, who has lived and worked in the West and knows the Western character. His portrayal is wonderfully clear and true which is proven by the success his play has had in western territory. The San Francisco Dramatic Review says of "The Cowboy and the Thief." It is good to see a play that represents our country as it really Is and not in a manner that Is Insulting to our intelli gence, "The Cowboy and the Thief," deserves the success it has won. In comparing it with the average western drama, it is like a breath of flower-laden ar from the foot-hills as compared to a hot sultry day on the plains. At The Murray. A show full of variety is the one be ing presented at the Murray this week, and it forms one of the very best bills of the season. The Prosit Trio, clown acrobats op en the show with a novel turn, their work as clowns could not be Improved upon while as acrobats they are certainly there. The Mus-Art three clever singers. pianists and one artist, have a very neat and novel act. They sing several catchy little songs, two of them playing the accompaniment upon the pia nos. One of the best features of the act is the crayon drawings executed by one of the young men, illustrating the song sung by the trio. They close by singing Swanee River with the pic ture of the old log cabin down among the picturesque scenes along the riv er. Brooks and Vedder have a good com edy, singing and talking act that scores well. They are both good comedians and their efforts are well appre ciated. The Great Eldon, the magacian, giv ing impersonations of the great magicians of the age, such as Hermann the Great, Thurston and Kellar, performs some very clever stunts, foremost of when Is the "Levitaton of Princess Imra." He performs this feat with such perfectness as to make even the most sceptical almost believers. For next week there are two fea tures "The Four Brabm Girls in a musical act and J. F. Bannister & Co. in the "Auld Lang Syne." Chinese Humor. In his book ou "China and the Chi nese" Dr. Giles gives a specimen ol Chinese humor which, if the source were not known, might well be mistaken for American humor. There la a Chinese story which tells how a Tery stingy man took a paltry sum of money to an artist payment is always exacted in advance and asked him to paint his portrait. The artist at once compiled with the request, but when the portrait was finished nothing was visible save the back of the sitter's head. "What does this mean?" cried the ltter indignantly. -Well.- replied tbe artist. "I thought a man who paid so little as you paid wouldn't care to show his face." INGRATITUDE. That man may last, but never Evea, Who much receives, but nothing fives. Whom Done can love, whoa oooe can thank Creatbon's blot, emotion's blank. Thomas Gibbons.

DELIGHTED CHILDREN

Richmond Lads and Lassies So Fascinated by the Wonders They See, They Have to Be Dragged From Them by Their Parents.

Dolls, fire engines, aeroplanes, Santa Claus everything associated with the happy holiday coming all piled up on counters, and gazed at wistfully by an army of wee youngsters, present a most dazzling spectacle as a mere reporter opens the door to a toy store and tries to worm his way around to catch a glimpse of the innumerable things which formed the paradise of visiting children. With the many jiew toys that have been Invented In the past year, and a host of all the familiar playthings of yesterday to see and go in raptures over, was it a wonder that the parents of the many lads and lassies literally had to drag their offspring from the enchanted palace of wonders? j First there were the dolls. The manager of this toy shop surely must know a lot about dolls, for he has every convenience a little girl could want to equip her doll for social life. Dolls can now get just as prompt attention and good service when the prides of the nursery need new clothes, as their mistresses can, for all one has to do Is to tell tbe size of a doll, and the clerk will get out a full assortment of clothing, suitable for all occasions, all of which will be just the right size, and all ready to wear. Then there is the so-called " art doll," which is made entirely of wood, and can be made to move its joints and maintain any position a human can. This doll possesses the added advantage of being unbreakable. There are more dolls, dressed in all colors and for all occasions, from a formal dance to an automobile trip. The doll accessories are somewhat novel this year. Toilet sets and jewelry outfits can be secured to keep a doll In the heighth of fashion, and there is furniture galore to equip doll houses. A regular international aeroplane show is continuously in progress at the toy store, and models of every known make of flying machine, can be seen. There are the tiny models of Count von Zeppelin's dirigible balloon, which cost only 15c; and there are the Bleriot monoplanes; and finally, there are the big Wright biplanes that seem to be the slag ships of the miniature air fleet. Then, of course, so the delicate planes can not be injured by the weather, fully equipped hangers are on sale right beside the aeroplanes. "Fire prevention" was being made the subject for serious study in one corner of the room, as the reporter espied a group of young lads Investigating the fire fighting outlay. Several of the boys were declaiming to their mothers just how they could improve the methods used by Chief Miller, at the same time illustrating their theories with the toy fire wagons. Incidentally, the store had all varieties of fire engines, some of them merely small hose carts, and others graduating up in size until the most majestic form of the big "hook and ladder" truck was reached. Old Santa Claus himself had to submit to an interview while the reporter was ging his rounds. Santa had just come in from an automobile trip, on which he had visited school children in Greensfork. Hagerstown, and other neighboring towns, and consequently was feeling rather exhilerated. Santa didn't care about divulging any of his secrets, because he said the renorter would SDoil all his fun on Christmas eve if people knew what was coming. "We are going to have a big, prosperous, and happy Christmas all over the country this year, and you may know that all the good little boys and girls are going to find full stockings on the morning of the twen Sore Throat Cure.

CROWD A TOY SHOP ty-fifth," was all that Santa would say. A company of Dutch clog dancers are one of the novelties just installed here this winter. These little mani kins are made to dance around in their wooden shoes, and perform some of the native fold dances. Friction toys of the hill climbing variety, are again popular at the toy shop this year. Crowds of children gather around the inclined plane when a clerk starts an automobile or engine up-hill, and are immensely tickled when they see the cars go up and down the ascent. Anchor blocks, a contrivance made of stone which can be piled into the dandiest toy houses, are popular with the "kids." while the "electrical wonder-book" and the "mirroscope" occupy the attention of the older children. Wooden rabbits that wiggle their ears, and ducks that open their beaks when they are pushed along the floor are surrounded by the admiring young audience. The delicate glass balls and tinsel of the tree trimmings in the back of the store, are the final proof that "Christmas is coming soon." For the Children Queer Peruvian Sailboat Made of Reeds and Straw. ,4ii. J ' TV. Among the most curious of the South American native boats is the "balsa" of Peru. This boat is made entirely of reeds and straw and has a curiously shaped bow and stern. The sail is of straw, and a long pole is used to steer and to help push tbe boat along. Geographical Game.

GATHERING OPIUM,

.How the Petals and Juice of the Poppy Plant Are Procured. Opium crowing Is a sort of garden cultivation the poppy plants being grown In little squares or beds Inter sected by tiny water channels for irrigation wherever this is possible. The growth of the plants Is carefully tended, and at length the time comes when they burst out into flower, and the Gelds look like a sheet of silver as the white petals of tbe flowers glisten in the morning dew. These beautiful petals are the first produce of tbe crop, for the women and children of tbe cultivators fami lies come forth and pick them off one by oue and carefully dry them, so that they may serve afterward as tbe covering of the manufactured cakes of opium. Then the poppies, with their bare capsule beads, remain standing in tbe open field until it is considered that they are ripe for lancing. The cultivators then come forth In the evening, and with an implement not unlike the knives of a cupping instrument they scarify the capsule on its sides with deep incisions, so that the Juice may exude. In the early morning the cultivators reappear with a scraping knife and their earthenware pots, and they scrape off the exuded Juice and collect it in their pots. And this is crude opium.
