TO REORGANIZE
MEXICAN CENTRAL
Plan Under Consideration Said to
Be SoniewhatjDrastic and Will
Involve Stock Assessment.
TUSGBLIC SPECIAL
New York. April 10. Plans are being
considered for a complete reorganization
of Mexican Central and a rehabilitation of
ths system. Prominent bankers have
been approached with the object of ob
taining their co-operation in the financial
readjustment.
Some announcement is expected In about
two weeks. If the plan under considera
tion ts carried into cifect. It will be some
what drastic In character and will tnvoHe
an assessment of the common stock. It
has been found that additional money
should be expended upon the property In
order to plaes It in a position of efficiency
and to put the company in a strong place
financially and physically.
It was consequently deemed best to
make the reorganization thorough If It
should be undertaken at all. In case the
proposed plans are carried out, both
Kuhn. Loab & Co. and Speyer & Co., the
latter firm being dominant in the affairs
of the National Railroad of Mexico, will
participate In the llnanclal upbuilding of
the Central's sjstem. James cpejer Is
now In Mexico and is making an Inspec
tion both of the National and the Central
r systems. -
- On account of his presence in Mexico
ana the fact that a loan from Speyer &
Co. to the Mexican Goernment preceded
the financial interest which the Govirn
nient purchased last year in the National
Railroad of Mexico, special attention was
drawn in Wall street to the announcement
made- yesterday that Spejer & Co. had

President of Decorative Artists'
Society Arrives in New York
En Route to St. Louis.
MUCH ALLEGORICAL WORK.
Historical Events of His Country
to Be Told in Tictures on the
Walls and Geiling of Boom
in French Tavilion.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. April 10 M. GUlaume Du
bufe, president of 'the French Society of
Decorative Artists, arrived to-day on the
Lorraine. He is on his way to St. Louis
and brought with him many mural paint
ings, his own work and that of the so
ciety of which ho Is president, to be In
stalled under his oupervlslon In the
French Pavilion of the World's Fair.
M. Theobauld Chartram, the portrait
painter, was waiting on the dock to meet
M. Dubufc, and the greeting between
them was as between old friends. They
chatted some time about the work which
M. Dubufe has brought over and drove
away from the dock together. Later in
tha day M. Dubufe left for the West.
"The French Society of Decorative Ar
tiste has done a great deal of work for
the St. Louis Exposition," said M. Du
bufe. "and I am bringing over a great
many things which members of the so
ciety haio made. In fact there are two
sets of things I am bringing, one tha
complete decorations and furnishings for
a room, all of which were done by mem
bers or the toclety. and the other the
mural paintings tor another room, all of
which have been painted by myself.
ALLEGORICAL WORK.
"When M. Le Grave, tho French Com
missioner General, asked me last winter
If I would do a celling for a room," con
tinued M. Dubufe, "I said I should derive
more pleasure from the work If he would
permit me to do the walls as well, conse
quently the whole decoration of the sec
ond room ia by my pictures.
"The decoration is in 'camaieu,' or two
colors, and the work is entirely aliegorica.1.
I have dedicated It, A la Glolre Fran
calse,' and It t pities. In a measure, what
her sons have oone for tbe glory of Franca
In the arts.
"One whole wall ts devoted to poetry,
and In this l have represented the work
of Victor Hugo. Lamartlne and De Musset.
Ojposlte is music, wherein are typiaed.
the work of Berlioz and Gounod. Be
tween the windows on the other walls are
smaller pictures devoted to architecture
and other diversions of the great subject.
Ail represents what was done in the Nine
teenth Century, and all the men whose
work is typlhed are now dead. This,"
added M. D-bute. with a smile, "1 sup
pose you might consider a safe plan.'
"Yfc veiling Is teie2 to ae iarge

PICTURES FOR FAIR.
The national Juries of selection of the
Department of Art for the coming St.

PREVENTABLE DISEASES
COST NEW YORK DEARLY.
Talalng; One Llfei nt a?3,00o, Death
From Five Cansea In One Year
Hade Loss to State W,OO,O0O.
Albany, N. Y.. April 10. Millions upon
millions of dollars annually lost to the
people of the State of New York through
preventable diseases is the kej note of the
annual report of State Health Commis
sioner Lewis to the Governor, made pub
lic to-night.
"If the monetary value of a- human life
Is assumed to be $5,030," bays Doctor Lewis,
"the deaths from but five uf the prevent
able diseases during 1M3 In this State
represent a loss of J3l.9eo.00a. These fig
ures seem appalling; ana million upon mil
lion can properly be added to this sum.
In loss of wages, expense of the care of
the pick and many other expenses Inci
dental to the management of these epi
demic and Infectious diseases."
The Commissioner shows that there was
vast opportunity and abundant authority
to meet conditions, but absurdly Insuffi
cient appropriations with which to per
form the necessary work, for which he
believes a million dollars a year could be
used with Immense advantage to the peo
ple of the State.
As the most conspicuous feature of the
eamtary condition of the State during
wrj, -tne report cites the typnoia epiuemrc
at its academy, where, wltn a population
of 13.000, there were more than 600 cases
reported and fifty deaths. In this Instance,
sys the Commissioner, the distribution ''of
the fever cases Indicated the water sup
ply tie the purveyor of the Infectious ma
terial. Ambnlnaee Stmclc' Iky Car.
A City Dispensary ambulance, driven by
"Don" Kllllan, was struck by a, Chouteau

about $10.

SULPHUR
SPRINGS
Appropriation of From $400,000
to $1,000,000 Incorporated in
the Indian Bill.
RAPIfJLY BECOMING A RESORT.
Government Intends to Buy Up
Adjacent Iroperry and Im
prove It to Trevent Pollu
tion of the Waters.
The Republic Bureau.
Hth St. and Pennsj-lvatila Ave.
Washington, April 10. After a bitter
fight In the Indian Bill Conference Com
mittee, an appropriation is now In the
measure which means the expenditure of
from $100000 to $1.COO,000 at Sulphur
Springs, I. T. Secretary Hitchcock be
lieves that the money will be used to
good purpose; that these springs, at a time
not far distant, will become as famous
as Hot Springs, in Arkansas.
Already Sulphur Springs has become a
resort, to which many Texans make an
nual visits In search of health and rest.
The waters are not of the same mineral
quality as those at(Hot Springs, but they
are esteemed by the modical profession
to possess special invigorating qualities
which rate them high among the various
curative springs of the United States.
DISCOVERED BY INDIANS.
As Is tho case with all the now famous
American resorts, the attractions of Sul
phur Springs were first discovered by the
Indians. It was a center to which, before
the white man's Invasion, members of
all the various tribes of tho Territory
habitually went. With the Incoming of the
white settler, tha springs became adver
tised, until tho attention of the Intorlor
Department was seriously called to them.
The Government has spent over JIOO.OOO
to Insure! the preservation of the waters
from pollution. A reservation of 630 acres
was set aside, and its value paid over to
the Inditn. At that time. Improvements
had been made upon the desired ground,
and to obtain it the Federal authorities
were compelled to pay the full assessed
value of all builrtnga. This amounted, ac
cording to fifurci supplied at the Interior
I'cp.uiincni, to ninety-odd thousand dol
lars. The springs are In a valley, and the
drainage from the surrounding slopes at
t.u,t, nuns jniu mem. tne nrst reserva
tion secured by the Government did not
Include tha whole of the part of the water
shed which adjoins the springs. Hotels
stores and small frame homes, comprising
a part of the town of Sulphur Springs
were constructed adjacent to the Springs
and were so placed that In the estimation
of Secretary Hitchcock tho sewage
threatened to pollute the waters.
LAND VALUES.
At this session of Congress a provision
In the Indian bill has been Insistently
urged which calls for the purchase of an
additional 130 acres and for the removal
of the buildings in question. The depart
ment thinks that the value of the latter
will not amount to more than $400,000.
though Representative Stephens of Texas,
who follows Indian matters closely, de
clares that the sum will reach at least
a cool million. Admittedly, opportunity
exists for grafting on the part of the pri
vate owners by extorting more than
their property Is worth. But the Secre
tary of the Interior declares that the
preservation of the springs to future gen
erations is chiefly to be considered.

While Youthful Wife Receives
Congratulations Amid Pic
turesque Surronndinns.
Stevle Gcorgle and Rosle Mitchell, two
young gypsies, were mnrrled at the
Church of the Holy Name yesterday morn
ing, and all afternoon the gypsy camp, on
Calvary avenue near Florissant, was the
scene of festivities.
Bronze-faced Egyptian girls in bright
Romany costumes: rugged, bare-footed
children and crooning, copper-colored
women gathered nmong sooty tents and
telhored horses to celebrate the event In
true Romany fashion.
The announcement of the wedding served
to attract a great crowd of visitors. Men
and women In fashionable summer cloth
ing mado the long walk across the fields
from Florissant a enue to see the 13-year-old
bridegroom and child-bride.
Georgle, the bridegroom, evaded the
slght-seers for a great part of the time,
however, and left his bride to do the
honors of the camp In her bright cerise
wedding gown while he participated In a
baseball game and smoked Egyptian cigar
ettes, oblivious to all matrimonial care
Rosle was gayety Itself, however. Wear
ing for the first time her many-colored
silk handkerchief over her head, that be
ing the badgo of wifehood In gypsy land.
where maidens must remain bareheaded,
she chatted merrily with the scores of
persons who were there to we her. She
proffered to tell the fortunes of all who
wanted the wonderful luck that she de
clared was "sure to come to those who
subjected their fate to a gypsy bride.
TELLING FORTUNES.
Beneath the tent of John Georgic, the
father of the bridegroom, the formal cel
ebration of the afternoon was held. It
consisted or a banquet, to which tho head
of every family In the camp was milted,
the mothers of the bridal couple being
the only women permitted to enter.
Seated tailor fashion on the ground, a
score of men and the two wome-i encir
cled the feast which an Ozark hunter or
& gypsy alone might enjoy.
There were hard-boiled eggs, bologna
sausage, cold chicken and duck, huge
slices of cheese and bread, ail of which
was washed down with generous libations
of beer of a brand that gypsies and
Americans botn approve or.
There were toasts to the bride and
bridegroom and the parents. Then the
pipes were lighted and the 15-year-old
bridegroom was solemnly initiated into
the responsibilities of Romany husband
hood. The remainder of the day was spent
in discussing the Russian-Japanese war.
Outside the tent the women piled their
craft or fortune telling. The younger girls
Wore their brightest costumes, but the
visitors seemed to prefer the wisdom of
the older women, and many were kept
busy for the greater part ot the day.
One old Egyptian fortune teller was
specially popular. She told many remark
abl'j tales, and like a true daughter of the
desert she refused her pay till the sub
ject of the prophccywas satisfied with her
tale. Then she accepted Just what he
thought was convenlentyto give.
At dusk the camp fires were lighted,
and around them the families gathered
once more to congratulate the young
bridal couple.
