SCENES IN PONCE, PUERTO
RICO

Time has made but few changes in
the methods of doing business in Ponce
Out in the harbor, which is an open
roadstead, vessels come to anchor to
load with rum, sugar, mOlasses, or to-
bacco, and are likely to anchor from one
month to six. The houses stretch
along the fiat beach back into the coun-
try. mostly wooden affairs. One story
warehouses, substantially built, and
painted in tints of pink, yellow, or pale
blue, front the principal streets, filled
with bales and bags of rice, sugar, etc,
for a considerable business is done IN
this port of entry, for the handsome city
of Ponce.
Back in the country, at the foot of
gentle sloping hills is the city of Ponce
itself. 1t is a two mile drive from the
Playa, through fertile fields, past su-
gar factories and other manufacturing
buildings, past handsome houses set
back from the road mid flowers and
palms, or tumble-down novels and
wooden shanties.
With the coming of Uncle Sans sol
diers, however, a, magic hand seems to
have touched this sleepy Ell Dorado.
1t has Weakened, and the busy life of the
north has invaded its streets. In the
markets. instead of the old time, easy
going method of doing business, one sees
the brisk lively banter of trade charac-
teristics of the Americans rapidly estab-
fishing a fOOthOld. The streets are
filled with men and women who seem to
be inspirited by a new energy, strength
ened by more just and equitable laws,
and it can be safely predicted that, aid
ed by the boundless wealth which ma
ture has so lavishly bestowed upon these
kindly people. this fertile island will
prove one of the most valuable posses
sfons of the United States. Our illus
tration. taken from Harper's Weekly,
shows a chara cteristic market scene of
Ponce, drawn by F. Luis Mora, after a
photograph. Here and there Uncle
Sans soldiers rningle with the crowd,
and in the bright sunlight trade goes
briskly on from day to day.

IF THE e.FAST MALI
Carried Any Letters This Criticism
Might Be Unjust, But it Doesn't

[Frorn the Leavenworth Times
The commission which is investigating
the cause of the enormous charges of
railroads for mail transportation has at
last struck the right scent. Second As
sistant Postmaster General ShelIaber-
ger in his testimony gave the very
broad hint that the general mail ser
vice would be improved by the discon-
tinuance of the fast mail subsidies like
the one between Kansas City and New
ton. Let them be abolished. What a
farce, what a misrepresentation of public
money, to run a special mail train for
the purpose of carrying a handful of
Kansas City daily papers into western
Kansas, though western Kansas can
get all the daily news equally as early
from newspapers requiring no special
fast mail service to deliver them
1t is calculated that for each CODY of
a Kansas City paper carried by the fast
mail train the cost to the government
is 97s cents Why should the people be
taxed with a heavy annual charge for
the benefit of a few grasping and impu-
dent papers which are trying to invade
a territory where they have no natural
right2 There is absolutely no public
benefit whatever derived from the sub
sidized fast mail trains. On the con-
trary, they are a gross imposition on
the public and involve a heavy waste
of public money.
The fraud is all the more heinous be
cause the Kansas City papers, in order
to avail themselves Of the early mail
train, are compelled to rush out early
editions which omit the bulk of the i'm
portant news of the day and are padded
cut with stale reports and dishonest
stufhng- 1t is high time for the gov
eminent to open its eyes to this scandal
and eradicate it without delay There
is no doubt that is the course which will
be recommended to congress by the
commission and congress should do its
duty by effecting this righteous econ
omy.

BLOOMINGDALE MISER DIES
Nathan Morris, an Indiana Hermit,
Perishes in His Lonely Hut
Amid Riches

Bloomingdale, Ind, Dec. 6.-Nathan
Morris, aged 80, childless widower,
who had led a hermit miser life since
the death of his wife some years ago,
was found dead in his hut near here to-
day, and evidently had been dead two
days.
At his side was dog, which had been
his only companion for a number of
years. Under some old clothing $500 in
bills was found, and in the sweepings
piled up in a corner Of the room was

found, in which all of his property was
bequeathed to the children of a brother,

The estate is valued at $4,000 When
his wife died he left the 400-acre farm
on which he had lived and moved into
the hut. He owned town lots in Bloom
ingdale, and had bonds and other Sc
cllrities in the bank When the heirs

mer Corporation Counsel William H.
Clark on account of Colonel ROOSeVelt'S
presence of about 40 friends at a din
ner given by Mr.. Clark, in accordance
with the wager.
The dinner was held in Mr.. Clark s
stable in order that the low buzz of con-
versation and the footballs of the walters
might not disturb his family:
The menu was unparalleled. 1t con-
tanned everything seaSonable and IN
seasonable and the wines were more
aged than many considered old. When
the coffee was handed about singers
tertained the guests, and afterward Col
Brown made a speech and handed Mr.
Clark his check for $1,000.
Suddenly the heavy curtains were
flung aside and Mr.. Clark walked into
the room leading large well groomed
horse.
The glare of the lights and the uproar
that greeted his debut was too much
for the powerful animal at first, and he
threatened to make short work of the
bottles and china.
He became used to the scene in a few
minutes, and then walked all around the
table ana INTO the 0OllOW OF In6 morse
shoe, where he proceeded to devour the
banks of flowers.
These demolished, he turned his at
tention to the big bowl of champagne
that was poured out for him. He Quaf-
fed the sparkling liquid like a connois-
seur and then stood patiently waiting
for the next number on the strange pro-
gram.
The climax was reached when a we'll
known stock broker leaped upon the
horses back and posed in effective
style.
1t was a thrilling moment, and for a
moment the china and glassware were
in danger of instant demolition, but
such an accident was happily averted.
Four Shetland ponies were then led in

zard of '98 are forgotten.

A wreck at sea IS not the only place
where life line is of importance.
There IS life line for the sick, as well as
for the drowning man. 1t is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is not
cure-all, but it is a scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach correct the impaired digestion,
invigOrate the liver and promote the as
similation of the live giving elements of
the food. The " Golden Medical DiscoV-
cry" accomplishes all these things.

STRONG PUBLIC PROTEST.
Causes the Milwaukee Street Car
Company to Yield in It's Fight.


Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 6.-The Mil
vvaukee Electric Road and Light COM
pany has withdrawn its proposition to
pay the city a sum of money aggregat-
ing 81, $50, 900 in twenty-five years for
immunity from hostile legislation dur
ing that time and a guarantee Of the
right to charge a f1ve-cent fare during
that period.
The hostile attitude of all the papers
to that proposition and the unanimous
public sentiment against it led Vice
President Henry c. Payne of the COM
pany to write a letter in which he says
that so many objections have been
made that 'it would be folly to attempt
to urge such a settlement, and no such
effort will be made by US"
The supreme court recently decided
that the road was not compelled to
grant the four-cent fare, because of its
showing that earnings did not justify.

to the withdrawal, and if the protest
against st is not made the council may
be induced to accept it, in spite Of
everything said against it so far.
