MADERO HOW SEEKS SUPPORTS ENEMY Mexican President Has Elaborate Plan to Pacify the Country. (National News Association) MEXICO CITY, Dec. 26. An elaborate program of pacification In Mexico In order to gain the support of the ReyiBta revolutionists is being planned by President Madero. It was said to day on excellent authority that while General Bernarda Reyes, who waa captured yesterday by Federal rurales in Nuevo Leon after a sharp fight at Rio Concho, would probably be brought here as a prisoner of war, charges of treason against him would not be pushed by Madero. The president wants to gain and keep Reyes friendship In order to carry out reforms which he has in anticipation. It Is also indicated that the Mexican government will bring all its influence to bear upon the V. S. government in order to prevent charges of neutrality violations from coming to trial in the federal courts in Texas. Mexican government officials, who probably would have appeared in the role of prosecuting witnesses, will not be sent from Mexico City, according to the present plan. Reyes is at present in the custody of General Thevino, federal commander of the Northern military zone of Mexico. TreVlno today received official dispatches from the war office in this city to bring Reyes back at once.

The Unstinted Hospitality of Old Virginia. Virginia hospitality la a byword. The old time country house, saya Mrs. Roger A. Pryor In "My Day," waa built of elastic material, capable of sheltering any number of guests, many of whom remained all summer. InSeed, this was expected of them. "My dear air," said the genial master of Westover to a departing guest who bad sought shelter from a rainstorm, "my dear sir, do stay and paj us a Tlalt" v The guest pleaded business that for bade his compliance. "Well, well," said Major D re wry, "11 you can't pay us a visit come for two or three weeks at least" "Week ends" were unknown In Virginia, snd equally out of the question an Invitation limited by the host to prescribed days and hours. Sometimes a happy guest would Ignore time altogether and stay along from season to season. I cannot remember a parallel case to that of Isaac Watts, who, Invited by Sir Thomas Abney to spend a night at Stoke Newington, accepted with great cheerfulness and stayed the rest of his life, nearly forty years, but I do remember that an Invitation foi one night brought to a member of oui family a pleasant couple who remained for years. Mesart'a Musical Memory. Mozart had a wonderful memory of musical sounds. When only fourteen years of age he went to Rome to assist la the solemnities of holy week Immediately after his arrival he went to the Slstlne chapel to bear the famous "Miserere" of AllegrL Being aware that It was forbidden to take oi give a copy of this renowned piece of music, Mozart placed himself In a corner and gave the strictest attention to the mualc and on leaving the church noted down the entire piece. A few days afterward he heard it a second time and, following the music with his own copy In his band, satisfied himself of the fidelity of his memory. The next day he sang the "Miserere" at s concert accompanying himself on the harpsichord, and the performance produced such a sensation in Rome that Pope Clement XIV. requested that this musical prodigy should be presented to him at once.

The old stories about mermaids do not seem so improbable after all when one looks at a full sized dugong. The only thing It lacks to make it a real sea woman is long hair. This enormous fish has flippers Instead of fins and rudimentary arms. The flippers end in four distinct fingers and are startlngly like the human hand. The shoulders of this weird marine creature slope In to a short but perfectly defined neck, on which is set a round head. The eyes are like a human being's In shape and expression, but very much larger. They are set far apart on each side of the head and have a brown iris swimming in a white ball, but are Udless. The dugong has no nose, but the forehead Is broad and well developed, and while the mouth Is "fishy" in shape there is a distinct under Up. The dugong is twice the height of a tall man when It la full grown, and a mother dugong moving about through the water holds her baby tenderly In her "arms" pressed to her breast, just as a human mother does. Glimpses of this strange Inhabitant of the sea no doubt gave rise to the old time belief in mermaids. The dugong is rapidly becoming extinct, but still can be found lnfalrly large numbers in the Indian ocean. New York Press. SICKROOM PLANTS. Why They Should Bo Put Out of Doors During the Night. In his random suggestions to his students, printed in the Medical Record, Robert H. M. Dawbarn, M. D., tells why it Is considered best not to keep flowers or growing plants In a sickroom at night Flowers give off moisture taken up from the soil; hence air becomes somewhat humid if many particularly growing plants are kept In the room. Flowers having a method of breathing, they use up the oxygen as human beings do and in exchange give off carbonic dioxide as waste matter. The action of sunlight upon the stems, leaves and all green parts of flowers Is to store carbonic dioxide within the plants and release oxygen. Thus in daylight there is a fair balance between the carbonic dioxide and the oxygen given and taken, leaving neither good nor ill results. But during the entire night the plant continues to breathe, and until the return of daylight the oxygen is used just like an additional person breathing In the room, thus leaving less oxygen for the use of the invalid. Therefore the standing order to remove all plants and flowers at night is based upon the facts of plant physiology and is right. Chateaubriand's Early Struggles. A new discovery has been made about Chateaubriand nothing less than that be once sold stockings on commission. It was in 1790, when he was still an officer in the royal service. He had a debt of honor, amounting to 200. Be wrote to a distant relative, one La Morandals, who manufactured stockings in Switzerland, appealing for help on the ground that be must either pay that debt or blow his brains out La Morandals, instead of sending him money, sent him 169 doaen pairs of stockings, offering him a liberal commission if he would sell them among his distinguished friends. He gratefully accepted the offer and succeeded in disposing of the merchandise. There is reason to believe that be managed to plant a good deal of It on the stores department of his own regiment.

"The late Thomas Wentworth Higginaon." said a Harvard instructor, "loved music, but not the extremely technical music of Richard Strauss. Ravel and others of that type. "Concerning Strauss and his banging, crashing music. Colonel Higginson used to tell a story. "He said that Strauss went one summer on a hunting trip in the mountains. It chanced that on a certain afternoon a terrific thunderstorm descended on the hunting party. Amid earsplitting thunder aud blinding lightning, amid deluges of rain whipped by a roaring wind, the huntsmen all sought shelter. "Where, though, was Strauss? "Tbreo friends set out in alarm to look for him. They feared that in the wild chaos of the storm he bad fallen down a precipice. After a long while they found him. They found him doingwhat do you suppose? "Strauss stood bareheaded on the summit of a lofty crag. The lightning played about him in vivid violet flashes; the rain deluged him: the thunder rolled and rumbled around him; the roaring wind flapped his coattails about his bead, and the musician, a ramrod in his hand, was busily engaged on his high crag in conducting the thunderstorm!" Washington Star. Wanted Two Good Murderers. Some curious letters passed between Garrick and a man named Stone. The latter was employed to get recruits for the low parts of the drama, and one night he wrote to Garrick. "Sir. the bishop of Winchester is getting drunk at the Bear and swears be will not play tonight." At first sight this seems peculiar conduct for a bishop, but it should be explained that the communication only refer to the man engaged to take that character in the play of "Henry VIII." On another occasion Garrick wrote to Stone: "If you can get me two good murderers I will pay you handsomely, particularly the spouting fellow who keeps the apple stall on Tower hill. The cat In his face is just the thing. Pick me up an alderman or two for 'Richard' if you can, and I have no objection to treat with you for a comely mayor." Established Christmas Gold

REORGANIZATION

OF HOTEL COMPANY Majority of Stock in Arlington Company Taken by Lontz and Hill. The Arlington hotel company which j for many years has been controlled by j J. P. Iliff, has been reorganized, J. M j Lontz and B. T. Hill, having taken an; interest in the company. Mr. Hill wili assume active control of the hotel after the first of the year, although he will remain with the F. & N. lawn mower company, of which concern he is secretary. Mr. Iliff, however, will be connected with the management cf the hotel. Negotiations for the purchase of the majority of stock in the hotel have been going on for some time and the deal was consummated within the past week or so. The entire hotel will be refurnished as soon as this work can be done ard private baths will be added to a number of the rooms. Every room will have hot and cold water. There are seventy-five rooms in the hotel. Plans for the construction of a restaurant room in the hotel are now in the hands of an architect, and this work will commence in the spring. It is the idea of the new management to operate a restaurant and also to continue the dining room service, which was discontinued by the former management of the hotel about one year ago. The hostelry will be operated on the European plan. The new management has decided upon changes in the lobby, which will be enlarged. The large room to the rear of the lobby, which has been used as a dlnnig room will be used as a writing and lounging room and other arrangements will be made for the restaurant and dining rooms. Private telephones are to be installed in each room and private branch exchanges will be furnished with the Bell Long distance and Home te!ephone service. BEQUEST OF $1,000 TO LOCAL W. C. T. U. Will of the late Ruthanna Hunt, who died on December 19, was filed for probate Tuesday in the Wayne circuit court. The deceased left a personal estate of the probable value of $12,500, in addition to a large amount of real estate. Clayton B. Hunt is named as executor and has qualified by the giving of $25,000 bond. With the exception of a few minor bequests, including small sums of money and heirlooms, the estate is inherited principally by the deceased's cousin, including Clara Beckett, Cora Mary and Adah McKenney, Catherine Kerfoot, Anna Brady and Anna Hoffman. Mrs. Hunt was one of the charter members of the Woman's Christan Temperance society in this county, and she gave to this organization $1,000. A Place of Lost Hopes. Newmarket, the English racing town, has often sent its patrons grumbling away. There was Coke o Norfolk, for instance, who in his younger days visited the "horsey" town and came away a poorer man and remembered the fact all his life. He never raced again. And more, he even refused to look at the place of his lost hopes. Whenever necessity drove his chaise across the heath he pulled down the blinds and coached his son to take like precautions. "Tom, my boy," he would say, "remember when you pass over Newmarket never look at the place." Nevertheless Newmarket still survives. Heavy Harness A good, dependable harness for your needs.

WAS BANNER YEAR FOR IMPROVEMENTS New Record for the City Government Was Estab- S lished in 191 1.

According to rough estimate giveu out by Fred R. Charles, city civil engineer, more public improvements have been made during the past year than during any other year in the history of the city. More than $120,000 has been spent in public improvements during 1911 and this amount is $5,000 more than amounts which represent the cost of public improvements of j any previous year. In 190S, $115,000 was spent on public improvements Engineer Charles' report is as yet incomplete and will not be made public in detail until the first council meeting next year. Mr. Charles says that it has been the biggest year's work in the engineer's office. The paving of North E street from Sixteenth to Tenth street cost $20,000, one-third of which amount was paid by the city. This was probably the largest improvement made during the year. The macadamizing of West Fifth street from the National road to Richmond avenue cost $17,000, while the paving of North D street called for a total expenditure , of $8,000. The construction of a macadam roadway on West First street, from Kinsey to Lincoln street, which is considered the nucleus for the river boulevard cost $4,000. These are considered the most important public improvements made during the past year. In ail, according to the engineer's report, there were ten miles of sidewalks constructed. All of the walks were constructed of cement. Very few extensions to the sewer systems were made during the year. There were but seven-tenths of a mile of sewers constructed. In 1908 and 1909 the large sewers were built and others were extended. During Mayor Zimmerman's first year he made very few public improvements, saying that debts contracted during the preceding administration should be paid before new improvements were made to the city's streets, sewers and alleys. However, he made the statement that in 1911 more public improvements would be made than in any other year, and from the engineer's figures his prediction has been fulfilled. What Did He Mean?

A GUARDJS PLACED To Protect Artist and His Affinitv.

(National Nfws Association) CHICAGO, Dec. 26 A guard was today placed around the $10,000 limestone grotto of Frank Lloyd Wright, architect at Hillside. Wis., where he is living with Maramah Borthmick, while his own wife and six children wail for him in Oak Park, a suburb. Threats of tar and feathers moved the sheriff to take the precaution of placing a guard. Hillside has been stirred from outskirts to outskirts by the frank assertion that Wright can find no "soul attraction" in his own wife and can only be a real artist while he , is in the company of Mamah Borthwick, who was formerly Mrs. F. If. Cheney. The population of Hillside is made up largely of college students and the sheriff says they are apt to "bust out at any minute." "The only thing that has prevented a tar party so far." said Sheriff Brown, is the lack of a leader. There has been plenty of talk of such action both here and in Spring Green, but no one seems willing to suggest the actual plans. FELL AMONG THIEVES. And the Old Man Didn't Know Which Set Wai the Worst. An old man from rurtl England with his wife was on a holiday in London and decided on am evening at a theater. He looked up the advertisements in the papers and selected a house where "All Baba and the Forty Thieves" was being played. It was a "cheap" house, the price of stalls being given as two-and-sixpence. The farmer was surprised, however, on arriving at the box office to be met with a demand for C shillings for the two tickets. The extra sixpence per seat, it was explained, was for booking. Then he was called upon to pay sixpence for a program, and the female attendant who showed him to the seats also asked for sixpence, in addition to which there was a shilling to be paid for hats and coats being taken care of In spite of bis protest that they could take care of them themselves. A footstool was brought for his wife and was accepted without suspicion that It would be charged for. but the attendant who brought it demanded another sixpence, and finally opera glasses were banded to them and payment of another sixpence requested. Then the farmer went la search of the manager and, finding him. said in a tone of deepest disgust: You may do what you like with these tickets. There are so many thieves in . . . . . . , ... , front of the house that we don't think I we want to see the forty on the i stage!" London Answers.
