Strange Things One. Sees in the
Capital of Ecuador
(By Frederic J. Haakin, Special 6orrespondent of The Journal.) v , "
; Guayaquil. Kcuador. Jan. 24. This
biasing llttlo town Is as hot asylf tha
- equator ran up thvouirh the main street.
- Its .peoole-look Ilk brown children of
the nun. Ufa reduces Itaelf to a simple
proposition in Guayaquil. Tou will
'have you hammock, your straw hat and
your fan, and, as a matter of course, you
wilt have your fever, tt may be one
kind or another, but if you stay long
enough, you cannot scape It, for It is
always here. Your habitation will be a
structure of split bamboo, as frail look -'ing
as a house of cards. ' 8omrtimes It
will shake like 8, reed Swaying In the
'wind, but you will know that it Is
merely another earthquake, and will not
experience as much concern as when
your house In the nocth trembles from
: me VIDrauons QI inuuurr. . ii u ju
tire of swinging; In your hammock, or
'of drinking lemonade at the tables on
" the awning covered side-walls, you will
, go for a ride on the mule cars. It will
swing around the" same little circuit, but
' you will go because there is nothing else
!to do. and because everyone else is do-
ing" the same. :
, Many Things aVfa Unequal. , ;
.There are many things in Guayaquil
-which seem unequal. When you go
shopping in the market, you will find that
i a rooster costs more than a parrot. The
beggar that pleads with you for a few
pennies may have on a straw hat that
would sell in the As tea for more money
than the suit of clothes you are wear
Ing. "When you get thirsty and enter a
cafe, for a drink, you And that good
water is more expensive than whisky.
It is one of the best equipped towns In
ihe world for fighting Are, and, yet no
city has been destroyed so many times
by flames. , There are more firemen than
policemen, and they have twtee as many
engines as they need, yet during the
dry season there Is not a drop of water
available for their une. t3.if .
' The inconsistency of this state of af
fairs can be better understood when it
is stated that Guayaquil is a river town.
It tretchea along the bank of a Stream
which la over a 'mile wide. There Is no
way of using the river water because
the authorities ara afraid if they levy
taxes to pay for the work, that thin ac
tion will excite revolution. If the wella
happen to be empty when a Are breaks
out, the flames eat' their way through
the rows of bamboo houses as easily as
if they were chaff. The last conflagra
tion was started by some gamblers who
got into a fight and kicked over a lamp.
' When the smoke Cleared away, over 80
blocks were in ruins and losses amount
ing to many millions had been sus
tained. ,,'.' v,'
It seems veryeasyto get on in Guay--snuil.
If one Is iwt particular about hie
surroundings. : The native swings his
i.amniocK oetween two trees, if they
happen to be banana trees, his food
grows right over his head. The sailor
goes ashore, and the next time you hear
of him. If he Is not dead of fever, he
may be a merchant prince. ; The Italians
seem to flourish in Ecuador more than
any other class of foreigners. , They
rontrol the grocery business of the
country, and are considered very reliable
men to deal with. It Is said that fully
half of them came over without a cent,
,and worked their way as sailors. They
will work and practise auch Strict econ
omy that even a Chinaman cannot com-
net a wMH .ham .
The Spall of the Tropics.
It is an old story about ths hold trop
ical life gets upon people who come
here. The experience of all seems to
bo the same. One's first Impression Is
. to stay no longer than it will take to
get away. Then the chance for making
money enters the consideration, and .the
determination is made to stay no longer
than it will require ' to accumulate
enough money wlth 'which to live in
comfort in "God's country," wherever
the individual may choose to consider
'that fortunate section. In the mean
' while, the tropics work their spell. Here
a man knows everybody. A score of
men in every block tip their hats to him
as he goes for his walk. Tho climate
Is not conducive to much effort, or
physical exertion, and no one worka
hard. Life is easy, and Indolent, and
rare-free. Finally, when the day comes
that, sufficient haa been saved to go
back to where life moves at a more rapid
pace, the departure la postponed from
tlm to time. Putting off until tomor-
row becomes a habit that cannot be put
' away as one discards an old coat,
v After the return haa been made, his
' tory often repeats Itself. 7 The man who
was an important individual In the
sooth,; finds that he, did not bring his,
identity away with htm. He is only a
plstn man among millions of plain peo-
pie. Some may stop to listen to his
tales of a far-off country, but he Is now
: - - . -.. . .Li
-in a itno wiiera iiimikb iiiuvb iwu wiwwj
for much story telling. The deference
that was paid to him in the south was
cheap civility, and he knows it, but tor
' all that he misses it He finds the hurry
and bluntness and llvlng-up-to-order
way of the north too brissi for him.
More and more he pines for the easy
going gait of the soutlt, and In nine
cases out of ten he goes back to the
slothful clime he first despised. The
tropics hold him with tne cnarm they
. liave; they cause him to turn his back
upon .his people, and, they do not .see
his face again.
"It Fays to Adertiae."
' 'Although ihe south is easy going,
there is sharp competition In business.
, good story Is told of the rivalry of
two merchants and the extremes to
which it led. Each one made it a point
to any all the mean things he could
think about the other. Matters went
from tmd to worse, until the ordinary
" metliodx of "knocking" proved too
stow and then they began publishing
stories in the paper about each other.
Their regular sitae for advertising was
devoted exclusively to these attacks.
This was one instance when the public
. read the advertisements and got dtl
moneys wTtn. one day there was a
long account about one of them being
on a spree, and It wound up by saying,
"the poor fellow deserves much pity,
for it id aomethlng dreadful to be
drunk." The following Iftmic contained
this reply, which silenced the enemy for
awhile: "I will admit that 1 was d runic,
ahd that 1 am still In that condition,
but I have the consolation of knowing
that when 1 quit drinking I will soon
tret over it. My accuser needs pity
because heus a fool and can nevef g"t
over It."
A ftocky Soaa to Travel. V
i One of the moHt serious drawbacks
,td business in Ecuador is the lack at
transportation facilities. Before goods
can be delivered to many points In the
Interior ths freight on thera amounts to
more than Jhey are worth. .When mill
. machinery and pianos, and electric
.light plants have to be carried over al-
'" nxsat Impassable mountain trails on the
backs of ' men, ; the cost and difficulty
, -must be well considered before the start
is made; AH points on or near the
; 'strfsnis can be reached easily enough,
as light-draft boats ply on all rivers.
V'p to this lime rsllrosd investment has
Dot been a paying proposition In Ecua-
- nerr-' n - H.UKJIHH i:fjiinj. pmn - neen
vibrating about to- -mnes e
for ai years, but without profit. This
line runs out Of Guayaquil, and
it 'has recently been extended 60
miles. It will soon be built to Quito,
the capital, and will then have a total
length of 175 miles. " - 1
? An American electric light plant is
now being hauled over the mountains
to Quito, which Is one of the oldest
towns in the world. It Is claimed there
were people living on the present site
of the place before the Bavlor was born.
An American electrician will install the
plant, and when he turns on the cur
rent for the first time, there will be
much surprise among the Inhabitants of
tnis old town, which carries on ita head
the weight of ao many centurlea. .
; Veopl Rave Strang Ways.
There are many odd eustoma in Ecua
dor. In some places where the land Is
low, it is submerged by the tide. This
means that all travel la dona by boats.
The hours' Of school' are timed to the
children's canoes can coma and go with
tne uaev Tne.marror, women float down
town in the morning, and drift home
again in the evening,. It la good motive
power, and cheaper than feeding; a
horse, the only drawback being r that
to travel in thii manner requlrea promp
titude, for time and tide watt for no
man. Many of the houses of the lower
classes are altogether void of furniture,
the only furnishings being a hammock
swung across the room. Every 'addition
to the family meant another hammock,
that is all.- .
Travelers through Ecuador ara al
ways impressed with the comical ap
pearance of mules dressed in trousers.
It is a well-known fact that a donkey
wilt not become restless without good
cause. The.' flies and monqultos are so
numerous arid vicious that they keep
the tatlent "burden-bearers jumping up
and down to fight them off; as a con
sequence a mule loaded with water Jars
or- anything loose, ; will soon spill his
cargo all over the road. To protect, him
and keep him quiet, he ia fitted out
with breeches. f: .- ,.t i
There ara no letter-carriers in Guay
aquil, but '. the postofflce authorities
seem disposed to save their customers
some steps. One doos not have to enter
the building, because the boxes open
on the sidewalk, but if one . wants
stamps, they are sold around the corner,
about a block distant from where the
mall must be deposited. Down this wsy
ths. rates of postage seem to fluctuate
according to the needs of the govern
ment In one place I mailed a package
and . the coat was thirty cents. The
next day I mailed exactly the aame
quantity of material, wrapped in the
aame way, and the charge was 1.10. I
expressed . surprise at the sudden rise
in rates, and ths attendant meiely
shrugged his shoulders. Probably the
postmaster needed a new bathtub that
day.-
Thera Is one brick house In Guay
aquil. It has. been built within the
year, and the natives assembled to
watch it go up. The usual method of
constructing houses calls for the use of i
canes of - all slses from little enes al
large as your finger, which are split in
halves and used as latha, to big onea
the alee, of your leg, which ara used as
scaffolding, v
AU ia ths Tisw Point.
There is a great deal of truth in the
saying that one-halt of the world
does not know how the other halt lives.
The citizen here takes you about and
displays v the mean and meagre advan
tages his placs affords. Local pride is
the same In every land. He points to
this thing or that, and aays: "Isn't It
fine, senorf. The mule car ia a alow
and painful contrivance, but to him it
represents remarkable, enterprise, and
great convenience. - Toil tell him of the
Boston subway that whirls its thou
sand "of hurrying passengers a mile un
derground ' almost before his-, mule
driver can crack his whip: of the New
York elevated tralna gliding over , the
roofs of the houses almoat aa awlft aa
birds fly back and forth, and he will
look at you in astonlattment, and auk,
"Why, do you Americans wish to go so
quickly f or, "don't the people fall
off when the car goes ao fast 7". Our
haste seems unreasonable to him.. He
does not say as much; but he thinks it
is positively vulgar to move in a hurry.
When you have to admit that many
people' ara killed by our rapid transit
companies, that aettlea it with hint.
"Such thlnga would not do for ua, air;
what- we have la better, for. our coun
try." , He "really feels sorry for those
who live where there is such hast that
people get killed by It. 1 He would rather
have tbe fever and die Ilka a gentleman.
He aaya ha haa never had the fever,
but the white of his eye' is yellow, and
his skin is brown aa leather. His sys
tem is steeped In malaria. He takes
no exercise and his circulation is poor.
He drlnka much wine and little water,
and his kidneys ara bad. One day he
will be ailing and there won't be any
fight left in him. He will be dead be
fore a northerner would know that he
waa sick. You walk on, keeping always
on the shady side of the street, for the
sun will sting you with its fiery lash if
you expose yourself to it. You rest be
neath an awning and hear him inquire
of this friend and the other about the
sick. One had a bad night and another
may pull through.. You wish to good
ness that you might hear less talk about
fever. It is ao trying on the nerves.
When the walk is resumed, the cathe
dral is passed. Candlea. are, burning
and prayera are being said for the re
pose of the dead. You pity these peo
ple who alwaya walk with the ghost of
fever stalking at their aidea, and' they
pity you because you may. get killed by
.the cara. It is all In the view point.

Secret of His Marvelous Power Over Death

HEALS THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY r
THE SAME AS THOSE WHO CALL IN PERSON
Refuses Pay for His Services Says His Discovery Is God-Given
and That It Belongs to All Mankind Free of Charge.
From the Louisville Post.-
(Special Correspondence.)
New York. Dr. Wallace Hartley, a
well-known brofeasor of. chemistry ol
this city, " his undoubtedly made the
most sensational discovery of the age.
Call It divine power, sciencs or what
ever you will, the fact remains that in
a alngle night, so to speak, he has
completely upset' modern medicine, de
fied all known laws of nature and ut
terly dumbfounded scientists and med
ical men. Physicians have sought out
their worst cases and taken them to
him,, thinking they might find one he
coulrfi not cure. They admit that all
their own remedies ara hut bread pills
as compared with the remarkable dis
covery of this wonderful man. He haa
already done practically everything hut
bring tha dead to life, and the scientists
are now on tha qui Vive, expecting him
to do thla next.
"How did you happen to make this
great discovery?" asked a reporter, who
called to find out the secret of the tre
mendous furor he has created.
"Ever since I graduated from the
medical department of the University of
Buffalo," said the doctor, "I have been
convinced that no disease should cause
death. Qod has, In my judgment, pro
vided a cure for every ill to which hu
man, flesh is heir. Man must search and
find thla cure the aame as man discovered
the telegraph, the telephone, etc. The
first thing I set out to do was to find the
exact elements which control living being
and austaln life, to discover the power
which makes a. man's heart beat and his
body live. , I iiext determined to extract
these products from animal, mineral and
chemical substances and combine them
as they are found In a living being. I
worked for yeara, day and night, before
X made any great progress. Then my
discovery nearly all came at once. As
soon aa I made It I tried tha preparation
on. myself, then t gave it to the (sick j
persons I could find. I notified the doc
tors to send me their supposed incurable
cases. The results were simply mlracu-,
lous. They far exceeded, my moat aan
tmlne hopea. I particularly remember the
case of Mrs. Sarah Miller. No. ISO Sixth
street, Harrtsburg, Pa. Bhs waa one of
my first patients. Ths doctors had given
her up to die. Her friends hourly expected-
to be called to her grave. She
waa so bad tha night aha received my
treatment she did not expect to live until
morning. - She took two doses; It . re
vived her; she slept; shs Is living today.
Here ia a copy of a letter from her. Bead
it for yourself."
The fallowing abstract is taken ver
batim from Mrs. Miller's letter. She
saya:.
"When I began to take your treatment
I realised that I waa on the brink of
the . grave. I Buffered from gastroin
testinal catarrh and ' diabetes. I was
In constant pain day and night. " X felt
blue, despondent and discouraged ' with
life. I had taken so much medicine for
so many years without receiving any
benefit I tried your treatment as a last
resort and thank God I took It for other
wise I should not be here to write this
letter." '
"This is only one of a large number of
similar letters that I have received,"
said the doctor. "It s'eetns that some
times, a divine hand directed these poor
sufferers where to obtain relief. I be
lieve that I was permitted to make this
great discovery for the benefit of the
world. Hence I offer my services free
for a limited time that all may enjoy the
benefits of perfect health. Here is a
letter from another woman whom X saved
from ths grave. Mrs. Oermond, of S03
Highland avenue, Benton Springs, Mich.,
writes: 'I tried so many remedies with
out obtaining relief that X had given up
all hope of ever being cured. I heard
of your wonderful discovery, but I had
no faith In you and was Induced to give
you a trial only on account of a strong
letter received from a friend who had
been cured by yeu. I wal a physical
wreck, ready for the grave. I had heart

system was diseased and run down. I
suffered untold agonies. I often felt that
death would be a welcome relief. . 1 am
confident that you saved my life, and
had it not been for your marvelous treat
ment I should today be cold tn my
grave. I write thla letter for the good Of
humanity, that others may be Induced
to try the wonderful treatment that has
cured me.' v '..;:v ': .v..;
. "Do physicians take your treatment?"
asked the reporter.
"They certainly do," said tha doctor,
"I am treating a large number now; Of
course they would hot want you to pub
lish their names, but hers ara their let
ters. You can read what they say. I
cur them when all their own remedies
fall. ' I have demonstrated beyond doubt
that the most serloua dlaease can be
overcome. That ths lives of thousands of
men and women can be saved who have
heretofore been carried off to the grave.
I estimate that I ahall save the Uvea of
over one hundred thousand people the
coming year who would otherwise have
died an untimely death."
"But how do you account for your won
derful power over death?" asked the re
porter. .
"Step this way." said tha doctor, lead
ing the reporter Into his large laboratory,
"and I will show you tha source of my
power. I will explain to you the secret
of whlsh wise men have sought for ages."
The doctor here pointed to a mysterious
red fluid extract tn a tightly-corked glass
flagon. "This," said tho doctor, "ia ths
apparently simple ' extraot that has
startled tha civilised world. Thla Is the
powerful essence that has given me the
titles, TMvlne Healer,' 'Miracle Worker,'
A. Latter-Day Savior,' etc. Of course I
am nothing of tha sort I am a scientist
My discovery is scientific. Sea these red
hot crucibles? Into them I throw the
materials which compose a living man.
See those red and blue streaks of tiie
shooting upward. They ara hot flashes
from magnetlo wires attached to huge
lectrlo machines. It is .by these pro
cesses that I abstract life from the ma
terials of nature. Did you ever stop to
think that wheat and corn oome from
the earth and air? It wa knew the won
derful chemical secrete of nature wa
(ould make corn, wheat and other food
irom the earth and air. So my discovery
of the vital principle of life is not so
wonderful after all. I have merely found
a secret law of nature which has been
overlooked by doctors and scientists for
centuries past", . - '. - . . . ', ,'.
"Do you give treatment to everyone
free? This, it seems, would be an enorm
ous expense," said the reporter.
"Yos," said the doctor, "I offer a course
of home treatment to everyone who
writes me now absolutely free of charge.
Later X expect to charge 4 moderate fee.
It will probably cost me several thousand
dollars to give thla free help, but I can
afford to do it and, bealdes, I want to
prove the miraculous power of my great
discovery. Tell your readers to state the
leading symptoms of their trouble, their
age and sex, and X will diagnose their
cases, write them fully in regard to the
exact stage to which their disease has
progressed, the length of time required to
effect a cure and send them a course of
treatment for their particular disease."
Tha reporter haa taken Dr. Hartley's
course of home treatment himself for
a nervous affection, and he can personally
vouch for Its wonderful efficacy. He also
guarantees thla offer . to be absolutely
genuine In every respect All who wished
to be healed should write Dr. Hartley at
hla laboratory. Addreas Dr. Wallace
Hadley, office 1023 B., No. 1931 Broadway,
New York City. If yov have anything
confidential to say, mark your letter pri
vate. The doctor is an extremely affable
man and takes a supreme delight In cur
ing difficult cases that have been given
up to die by other physicians. It ia these
cases that offer him the opportunity to
demonstrate the miraculous power of bis
great discovery.

A $30,000 plant for handling crude oil
will be established by the Union Oil
company at Portsmouth, a smsll settle,
ment down the Willamette rivet about
halt way t between Portland ; and St.
Johns, within the next 0 days. It will
consist of tanks, pipe lines, pumping
machinery and .a wharf, Work upon the
improvements la to be atarted immedi
ately. John Baker, Jr., of Ban .Francisco,
manager of tha company, spent yester
day in the city looking over the site
and making the necessary arrangements
for beginning - the work. He returned
home thla morning on the steamer
Whlttler. Before leaving he said:
"Within tha next 60 daya I expect the
plant to.be completed. At first we will
put in two tanks, the combined capacity
of which will be 60,000 barrels, or I.100,
000 'gallons. They are steel, structures
and are already built It is tha inten
tion to ahlp them up from San Fran
cisco at once.
"The site la an admirable one. It is
about the right distance from the city
for the eteamors to drop down and (take
on a supply of fuel.
VTha wharf to be built will have a
frontage of 260 feet, v Alongside will be
a sufficient depth of water to accommo
date the largest ocean-going steamers.

THREE YEARS DEAD
BUT AT LAST BURIED
Spokane, Waalk, Feb. 13. Perhaps tha
most remarkable funeral that waa ever
held in Spokane took place yesterday
morning when after three years' delay
W. M. Herbert, who died at the Medi
cal Lake asylum' January 2$, 1901, was
laid to rest the funeral being from
Smith A Co.'s parlors. A fsw yeara ago
Herbert waa left $9,000 by relatives in
England, and with this money he em
barked in tha liquor business In the
Eagle saloon, on Howard street So well
did he succeed in this venture that his
money lasted him at the rate of $100 a
day, and, it la said, ha .was- a poor man
again in three months. After his money
had gona it is supposed be shot himself
while in a fit of despondency, though
ha claimed he had been held up and
robbed and was shot by the robber. The
wounded man was taken to tha Sacred
Heart hospital, where he stayed for two
weeks. He was then adjudged Insane
and sent to the asylum at Medical Lake,
where he was confined until his death.
Herbert had rich relatives in England,
who were informed of his death, and
the remains were embalmed awaiting
final directions from his English v rela
tives. But their reply waa, in substance,
"Let the Spokane people bury him, as he
spent his money with them." But Spo
kane people did not come forward to bury
him. For about three years the body bss
been kept in a casket in one of Smith
A Co.'s back rooms. .It was almost in a
perfedt state of preservation, except that
hla features were slightly shrunken.
People who knew Herbert would have
had little' difficulty In identifying his re
mains now. At last arrangementa for
the funeral were made by a friend In
thla city and yesterday morning he waa
borne-to his last resting place in the
Falrmount cemetery.

So says tha great State of Iowa, if the present
bill introduced in the legislature becomes a
lsw, which provides for a board of examiners
to determine, whether the contracting parties
sre free from dlseass, that might be trans
mitted. ' For years we have been calling the
attention of the world to the fact that per
sons, afflicted with disease, not only have no
right to marry, but actually commit a crime
when they . Inflict upon an Innocent human
being the taint of diaease. ' We believe that
fully one-third of the suffering of mankind
can be directly traced to disorders of the re
Froductlve organs, and - that - Ignorance and
alse modesty is at tha bottom of much of
the trouble. It Is a law in Naturs that "Like
will produce Like;" therefore, how Important
it is that, if contemplating marriage, one
should know that ha is free from DISORDERS
that might cause untold misery and suffering.
Gonorrhoea and Gleet are among the most
common troubles, that are overlooked as fac
tors in the suffering of thousands, and it is
without fear we claim that fully 60 per cent
of those who have ever been victims of this
so-called "simple disorder" have never been
cured. Microscopic examination of the urethral
secretions is required before a license la Is
sued to contracting parties to marriage in sev
eral states, and It is right for many .men
deeming themaelvea cured, or told ao by some
doctor. Innocently cause suffering. We treat
the disorders of msn scientifically and tell our
patients honestly when they are well. We
don't 'ssy we cure- everything, because we
don't; but we try, and if you come to ua we
will not promise to oura you in a week, but
will guarantee to cure .you as soon as possible
snd st a pries within your means, and if your
meana ara iimitea, we win trust you. you
can pay ua tn small monthly Installments
while your case is being treated, and then you
can aea what .you are getting for your money.
