AN ADVISORY BOARD TO LOOK AFTER
THEIR NEEDS.

The scope and object Of THIS New
E.tabIishment of Government and
| the Men who Compose It--whnt the
Porto Ricaps want.
We have not yet reached that stage
of expansion at which we can sport a
colonial secretary with his troop of un.
dersecretalies and clerks, but we have
recently seen established a colonial com.
mission. which answers about the same
purpose. This body also goes by the
name of the colonial board. 1t consists
of three members appointed by the
president
The commission win exercise the
functions of an advisory body, and will
advise the president as to the proper
method of dealing with Cuban and Porto
Rican questions. Its report will be
transmitted TO o'congress when it is de-
sired to establish permanent form OF
government in Porto Rico.
The board recently assembled in
Washington to consult with Secretary
Alger regarding it's duties No definite
decision has been reached respecting
the matters which will be laid before it,
but il is understood that questions re.
lating to the awarding of franchises
and concessions, the distribution Of
moneys to be spent in public improve.
ments and practically all administrative
matters will be submitted to the board
for consideration and report
Up to this time the secretary and as.
sistant secretary have passed upon these
matters, but the work has been found
to be too burdensome, especially in
view of the many other matters which
these officers have to consider. Each
member of the board will receive sal

General Robert p. Kennedy, the lead
ing member of the colonial board. comes
from Bellefontaine, O. He is veteran
of the civil war He enlisted as pri-
vate, was elected second lieutenant and
was advanced through various grades
to the rank of colonel Before he was
mustered out in 1855 he was given the
brevet Of brigadier general He was
admitted TO the bar in Bellefontaine in
1865 and has practiced his profession
ever since. For five years he was col
lector Of internal revenue for an Ohio
district and served two years as lieuten-
ant governor of the Buckeye State. Then
he resigned and was elected to congress,

sensation by an attack on Senator Quay.
He was censured by the house judiciary
committee, and his speech was revised
before it was printed in The Congress
sional Record.
Mr. Charles w. Watkins, another
member of the colonial board is bust
ness man of Grand Rapids who has not
been prominent in public life to any
extent.
The third memb3r is Lieutenant Colo
mel Curtis Guild, Jr., Of Boston. At the
time of his appointment he was serv-
ing on General Lees staff as inspector
general of Cuba. He is the son of Cur
It's Guild, the editor of The Commercial
Bulletin. He graduated from Harvard.
He went on the staff of The CONNER
cial Bulletin and gained a good reputa-
tion as writer, For more than a dozen
years he has taken an active part in
Massachusetts, politics and is one of
the leading members of the Republican
party.
1t is probable that the new board will
listen to the views of the commission
sent by the people of Porto Rico to pre-.
sent their needs and present require
ments to the American government.
DR.. Hostos, "a member of the Port
Rican commission, recently said, in
speaking Of the object of his visit to
Washington;
"The people of Porto Rico are still
suffering from the unjust laws and Gus
toms of Spain. One of the most impera-
tive needs at the present time is radi-
cal change Of financial systems The
present Spanish system is abominable,
and prices are now fictitious.
"While the American tariff, now
operative, may be more suitable, it is
nevertheless great burden to the vast
majority of the people of the island. Ii
raises the prices of necessities far above
what the people are able pay. BY the
enactment Of just laws they win be
able, with the aid of capital which will
flOw TO the islands, to develop their own
resources. Until some relief is gained
in this matter it will be impossible tc
develop the agricultural industries. and
until they are developed the people will
not prosper
"We shall also ask for absolute mu-
nieipal freedom and reform. School ia,
cilities are very meager, and we shall
present to the president plan for free
public instruction in all parts of the is
land. Only about rs per cent of the
population are able to read and write. .
There is little doubt that the new
board win find plenty Of work to do, foi
the situations in both Cuba and Porte
Rico grow more complex every day

Her mother is noted as the best match
maker Fifth avenue has ever seen. She
has connected her family by marriage
with the Vanderbilts. the Astors and
the Gerrys.
Mrs. Goelet was one of the handsom-
est of the Wilson girls when she mar
ried Ogden Goelet, who owned great
slices of real estate in the heart of Man
haitian Islands most busy district. He
was a quiet, unostentatious man, who
spent much time in his dingy office
looking over his long rent rolls. His
wife whispered her social ambitions,
and he was persuaded. He hired Mrs.
Langtry's yacht White Ladye and took
his young wife for a cruise in Euro
pean waters. They entertained lavish
ly, and Mrs. Goelet got a foothold in
London society. Then he built the May
flower, the most magnificent racing
yacht ever seen at that time. This cost
$500, ,000 but it defended the Americas
cup and took the Goelets still deeper
into the exclusive English society.
1t was during the splendid series OF
festivities given on the Mayflower In
Cowes Roads in the summer of 1897 that
Mrs. Goelet met the Earl of Chester
field. The Prince of Wales and others
were also entertained at this time.
The festivities were coDtnued even
while Mr.. Goelet himself was quite Ill.
1t is probable that no one realized how
grave was his situation. In August,
1897, he died, and the splendid yacht
brought his body across the Atlantic
to be laid at rest in Newport.
ogden Goelet left $4,000, 900 worth of
real estate and probably $4,000, 900 in
personal property. He willed the bulk
of his estate to his son and daughter.
To his wife he left $500, 900 in money,
the house on Fifth avenue, some per-
sonal property and an annuity of $780,
900 year. The $9OO,OOO ir cash was in
creased 90 $5OOOCO by the executors,
that option being left them in the will.

NEW FOREFlNGER RINGS.
Considered Equally appropriate For
Men and Women.

Meh anu women.
One Of the New York jewelers. has
put on sale rings designed Cor the fore

Paris and London, is said to have made
already some advance in popularity
here. Rings for the thumb were a re-

Of the monocle for women and its sue

the foTcfinger never before reached the
dignity Of fashion to the extent that
1t has abroad at this time. 1t is consid-
cred equally appropriate for men and
women, and in both cases is usually or
namented with a single stone. This may
be surrounded with smaller stones The
most fashionable of jewels today is
said to be the ruby, although the sap
phire cabOchon is also in demand For

more appropriate is it considered.
Another form of jewelry recently
popular here and confined wholly to
men is worn by those who make point
to have the things that are latest and
most tasteful in mems dress With the
studs worn for evening dre5s-and con-
siderable latitude Is permissible in the
matter-it Is now about the smartest
thing in the way of dress to have the
waistcoat buttons, as well as the cuff
buttons, match exactly. Thus there are
sets of these in the jewelry shops made
of rubies, sapphires and turquoises. The
buttons are in every case made of gold,
which is usually ornamented, although
in some cases the band about the stone
is perfectly plain. These are worn, Of
course, in a white waistcoat and are
about the only variation in the fashion
of the dress suit which the well dressed
Englishman or American allows him

He tried to drive her away, but as

aroused himself, to find the room full

were already spreading.
With the exception of the lodger,

escaped to the back yard. just as

stopped to put on his boots, was cut
