will not have that opportunity, they so
' ardently desire, of welcoming them.
Montevideo, or Monte, as 11 Is usually
culled, ts Immense natural resources.
Its harbor Is In a well sheltered road
stead, the only disadvantage being that
tblps . are compelled to anchor some
enms - distance two to three miles
from ths shore. Rapid launches cover
this distance In IS minutes, landing
visitors at a long wide Jetty, which
makes for the Montevideans an excel-
i lent promenade. Close to Is a new con
crete dock In course of construction
- which will be able to accommodate,
when finished, the largest ships fre
quenting South Atlantic waters.
Monte Is one of those South American
places sacred to the revolutionist, and
does In fart hsve a revolution on an
average every three years. One la apt
,k to poke fun at South American revolu
tionists, but a walk through the street
of Montevideo quickly convinces one
that -the humor is best seen at a dis

Montevideo's Fine Cathedral.
" the buildings may be seen stone tablets
with an Inscription In English some
what after the following: "This tablet
Is In memory of William Roberts, an
American resident of this city, who, on
l ha first of December, 19,08, was here
killed By a bullet which. passing
through the body of its Intended victim,
Btruck the above."
1 Excellent Car Ssrvlos.
In times of Deace Monte has an ex
eel lent electric car service, yet when
the breath of revolution is in the air.
. the companies prefer to put their old
- fashioned horse cars on the streets In
place of the well appointed electric
cars making a scene incongruous in
tha extreme.
' With regard to buildings It is only
to be expected that Monte is iar Denina
' the times. Yet surrounding the Grand
Plaza there are several notable build
ings, such as the cathedral, an Imposing
edifice of York stone. On the opposite
aide of the plaza may be found the ad
ministrative buildings and the ofTicial
residence of "el presidents." Every
, evening a tine government band plays
In this yast square, the government not
unwisely holding the view that by keep
ing the people amused they keep them
from thoughts of revolution, thus lncl-
' dentally keeping more secure the posi-
- lions and salaries of the official staff.
Some distance up the river Plate and
on the other side Is Buenos Aires (good
air), which Is reached from Monte by
faat night steamers. Despite the enor
rnoua width of the river Plate estuary
(land on both aides is usually out of
atcht from the steamer), It Is difficult
indeed for the English and American
mallboats to find a channel. Any ship
drawing over 25 feet would find a pass
age almost impossible. Up till quite
recently Buenos Aires had no docks,
fcut this defect Is now well amended and
mallboats catv have both entrance and
egress at all states of the tide.
. Buenos Aires in point of area is the
equipped with sword and revolver,
neither of which does he hesitate to
use. A criminal has but a poor show,
and even a poor witness may fare as
badly.
Should an Argentlno witness an as-
senor." This Is because of a rather
pleasant habit Argentine has of lock
ing up the witness as well as the pris
oner until the first hearing of the cose.
Foreigners, Ignorant of this at first,
very quickly learn from experience that
the policy o Ignorance is the paying
one In Buenos Aires,
rina Boulevards.
The Avenlda de Msyo, Buennu Aires'
fine boulevard. Is, like the Avenlda at
Rio de Janeiro, second to none In the
world. Cut out at enormous expense by
the government, It at once brought the
city up to greater prominence In the
commercial world, liere mny be found
the great storea. restaurants and thea
tres for which the city Is so deservedly
noted. Prominent among the stores is
the "Swastika" the great American
tore, patroiilzed not only by muny of
the 40,000 English and American resi
dents, but by the native Argentlnos as
well. American "llbrcrlas" or book
stores, where all the best known home
papers and magaxlnes may be purchased
aro not uncommon.
During the theatre season operas can
be seen performed by excellent com
panies. The most popular theatres,
however, aro the vaudeville shows, the
vaudeville drawing the best crowd and
stsgtng the best shows being strongly
reminiscent of the Koiles Bergcres at
Paris. Indeed much of the later archi
tecture and laying out of the city Is
after the Parisian model.
The officers of the toroedo flotilla
will likely have experienced the Joys of
a battle of flowers at Palermo park.
where literally thousands of carriages
rilled with gay parties of men and
women may be seen driving round th
spacious lake on any gala night. They
are sure to have witnessed up-to-date
South America Journalism by vlnltln
"La Prensa's" magnificent entertaining
rooms, which are always placed at the
disposal of distinguished fornlgners
an opportunity not to be disregarded.
On the whole It Is perhaps fortunate
that the entire fleet has not called at
Buenos Aires too many of Its person
nel might have lost their hearts to the
lovely Argentine maidens, commonly
said to be the most beautiful in the
world; but be that as It may, if the
flotilla men received anything like the
reception accorded to Secretary Root
In 1906 and there Is every reason to
think they did Buenos Aires will at

WHEN RELIEF IS WANTED
We will show and tell you how to relieve any
case of fallen arch. It is the result of a gradual
weakening and breaking down of the muscles
and bone construction which
support .the arch of the foot.
The "Fallen Arch" is the result
of constant standing or walking rtiT"f 6bT with arch suppoin
and wearing of poorly constructed shoes, causing pain in the
arch, the calf of the leg, above the knee and even reaching to
the thigh. Thousands of people are afflicted this way in all
walks of life. Treat this matter scientifically and watch the
results. Arch Instep Supports

such thrilling encounter has been re

and tlilph by bruin's teeth are healing
well. Jim is one of the Norwegian col
ony here, and had been out riding. He
was rearing home, when the restiveness
of his horse and the commotion made by
his three dofrs convinced him of the
presence of bear on the edge of his
own clearing.
Hurriedly putting up his horse and
priming his rine, ne ran out to una
his dogs returning. He urged the dogs
off in search, and was about to follow

pressure of the muzzle on its neck, he
tried again and again to snoot, nut
something prevented a discharge. Then
he was thrown and with the hot breath
of the maddened beast on his face, he
felt that his time had come. With pres
ence of mind, however, he thrust the
barrel of his gun across the great Jaws
and held it there with both hands, call
ing lustily meantime for his dogs. That
saved him, for they ran back and wor
ried the thing from behind and thus
gave their master opportunity to get to

skin, before he limped home to have

Trenton, Feb. 1. Mrs. Clara A. Ber

today filed In- the orphans' court objec
tion to a settlement account with her
daughter, Mrs. Clara A. O'Connell, of
Chicago, the executrix under the will
of her father.
The widow and Mr. Barry were es
tranged for many years before his
death, ani he now files objection to a
charge of $1,300 for a monument to
the memory of her husband, declaring
it an unnecessary outlay of wealth.
She alao -objects to the bill for removal
of the bones of her husband from Tren
ton to his old town cemetery In Ellr
abeth, where he asked to be laid and
whlrh his Uaushter had done.
These objections recall the talk hero
for years about the troubles of tho
Berrys. When the husband was dying
in a uum Die nome within a stones
throw from the house wllerein lived his
wife and children in luxury, and sent a
messenger to her, the widow refused to
go to him. Bhe subsequently said that
the messenger did not say how sick her
nusDand was.
