Messrs Edward s Burns and Howard
Fisk yesterday established a tandem record
over the turnpike between this city and
Baltimore. Nd. The distance as the wheels
turned is forty miles and was covered in
two hours and ffty-nine minutes. Con
sidering the conditions under which the
ride was made. the distance was covered
in excellent time. The riders started from
the City Hall in Baltimore ct 1910 o'clock
and arrived at the east steps of the Capt.
tol at l:Og. where they were met by a
great number Of their friends, who extend
ed their congratulations on the successful
termination OF the run.

one established from boundary to boundary.

/ They were delayed some time at Guin' S

and again near Beltsyille by the breaking

there was no other cause Of delay.

IN PORTO RICO.

Marriage is almost unknown
among the very poor classes, and
the distinction of having the writ
ten word and the blessing of the
priest carries with it no special
badge of honor; it is suggestive
only of another poor man gone
wrong and a grasping padre few
pesos richer. 1t is a much easier
matter for a man to select his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and set up
housekeeping i'll a new wickiup
under the banana trees without
more ado.
The children of Puerto Rico are
al ever-present and abundant fac
tor in the domestic economy of
the PEASANTS life. 1t is called
domestic economy, since it costs
nothing to supply the air of day
for lungs of these little waits; it
costs nothing for their clothes for
they run about in the sunshine
and the rain just as God made
them, and sleep in odd corners
without cover, for the first half
dozen years Of their baby lives,
and when older, a single discard
ed tattered garment adds to their
grace the shield of decency. So
they live, without expense, and
with little tenderness bestowed on
them in the shape of material
comforts, though the mothers
kiss is often given and the father
pats the little head. They soon
toddle, at the command of the
mother, to do small errands, to
help weed the garden, to bring in
the handful of wood for the fire,
to dig the tubers for meagre
meal, and, lastly, to hold up theil
tiny hands and with pleading
eyes gain copper from the passer
by on the roadside. They are /
good investment to the family
the majority of them die at al
carly age, and 1T costs but few
strained hours to the mother!
| heart, a bit of cloth for sbroud
and the energy needed to carry
the tiny form to the potter's field
Offsetting this is the usefulness OF
those who, by the laws of survival
Of the fittest, pull through with
sturdy forms, to pick berries
to work in the cane and tobacco
fields, and add to the common
fund, until, at varying age, they
rebel against the paternal banker,
and live for themselves in poverty
and i'll bondage to the landed
kings, just as the generation who
came before them.
