CUSTA RICA’S RULER. President Iglesias a True States- man and Patriot. Country Free from Revolutions and Possessed of a Wine and Progres- sive Government eal Free- dom ot the F It is the general belief on the part of Americans that the South American republics are all countries of enor mous natural resources that bave re- mained and will remain for many years g to their m undeveloped owin ment under military despots whose ra- pacity provokes periodical revolutions that shake those nations to their very foundations. While the moral and intellectual de- ficiencies of the supreme magistrates of some of countries are aggerated, and their conduct of pulo- lic affairs is worthy of severe censure, it would constitute a gross error and injustice pot to discriminate in favor of such men as Don Rafael present ruler of the republic of Costa Rica. ’ President Iglesias isa true st stinan, “gmbued with the modern spirit of the most enlightened nations, A few days spent in observation at San Jose, the eapital city of Costa Rica, will suffice to convince the traveler that he isina truly free country. Costa Rica is per- haps the only country in Central or South America which has not witnessed a revolution within the last 30 years, It is a progressive republic that is rap- idly assimilating under a good govern- ment the laws, institutions, industries and even the manners of the na which are in the vanguard of civiliza- tion. ‘The great strides of Costa Rica in that direction within the tast four years are a great measure due to the incessant efforts of Don Rafael Igiesias. President Iglesias, who comes from an angient and distinguished family of Costa Rica, is a man about 36 years of those not ex- DON RAFAEL IGLESIAS. (President of the Republic of Costa Rica.) age. His face reveals acute intelligence, and his conversation is that of a highly cultured man. He is plain and unaf- fected in his manner. His cordiality makes him very popular among his peo- ple. Foreigners who visit him are al- ways given a hearty reception, and are made to feel at home in the presence of Costa Rica's executive. Notwith- standing his great affability, Presi- dent Iglesias naturally and with ease shows in all his actions the dignity of is high position. ‘The president of Costa Rica is an elegant writer of his native language. His private life is in- deed stainless, and honesty has always been the recognized salient feature of his public career. The republican form of government is a reality in Costa Rica. ‘The consti- tution and all the laws of the land are scrupulously observed and enforced. ‘To judge of the political liberty enjoyed in Costa Rica it is only necessary to read the press of the country. In it all matters, even those more apt to arouse political passions, are discussed with ubsolute freedom, ‘The administration is criticised with impunity by those who do not share its views, Elections in Costa Rica are always ex- empt from that military coercion so common in other Spanish-American countries, The term of President Igle- sias expires within a short time. His popularity is such that his reelection will surprise nobody. One of the pulo- lic acts of President Iglesias during the three years of his presidential term was the abolition of the tobaceo and alcohol monopolies which were hitherto in the hands of the government. ‘These in- dustri re now flourishing under the 'y laws of competition. ‘The gold standard has been established under a very practical and scientific law based on sound principles of political econ- A railroad from the capital to the st will soon be an accom- plished fact.

A bright, young American woman has just commenced a remarkable suit which seems to establish the fact that she is the present rightful queen of Sweden. This remarkable claimant is Miss Louise White, whose family is well known in both society and in business in Indian territory. Miss White has been traveling abroad for the last two years in search of evidnce to be used in pressing her claim. She isat present living in a suite of rooms in the Conti- nental hotel, in Stockholm. Her case is familiar to the United $ s minis- tar at Stockholm, Maj. ison, and MISS LOUISE WHITE. (Now in Sweden Pushing Her Claim to the Throne.) has been discussed rewspapers. In preparing her case Miss White has accumulated an immense amount of documentary evidenc She claims to be the lineal desce it of the great and popular king cf Sweden, Gusta Adolphus.

Miss White disguises herself as n of Are and successfully downs the whole of Sweden before her sword there is not much likelihocd of her ever getting near the throne. As a matter of fact, a woman cannot reign over Sweden’s people, the latter having so de- cided more than a century ago. After the disastrous efforts of the reigns of Queen Christina and Elrica Eleanora in the eighteenth century, Sweden came to the conclusion that only male per- sons shall rule the country and its peo- ple, and only a revolution could change this rule of eligibility to the throne. DECOY FOR HUNTERS. It Presents the Perfect Outward Sem- blance of a Cow. As deceptive and dangerous as the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing is a patent cow just invented by a west- ern genius. The device presents the perfect outward semblance of a most peaceable and amiable cow, but the fore legs and the hind legs are in fact the legs of two men. They are armed with guns, and have a splendid sup- ply of ammunition. The device has a flexible outer shell of canvas or other suitable material, decorated externally to represent the animal in imitation of which the de- coy is constructed, and said shell is adapted to be supported or held in its distended position through the medium of a collapsible metal framework, which Ps Ex \ Rae SS AS Veli San sn THE DECOY Cow. (Clever Hunting Invention of a Western Genius.) allows the covering and framework of the decoy to be folded into a small space for transportation. In the sides of the frames, at suitable points, are windows or openings, protected by out- ward swinging tlap blinds, and through these windows the sportsman in the rear may discharge his fowling piece when the game has been successfully stalked. For the firing of the hunter in the front of the decoy there is pro- vided a downward swinging portion. which includes the head and neck of the animal, so that by simply releasing a small cateh from the inside of the framework, this swing front portion drops by gravity and thus leaves the sportsman free.
