RECLAMATION ALALCALDE

Seg1n 81 extracto de los acuer,
dos del Ayuntamiento de esta ciudad
que publicamos dias pasados, este
ha resueto SO obligue los due

La Junta Directiva de Ia eli
ga de propietarios de hncas urba-
mas, que representa- va mas de $50
contriDuyentes y 619 casas, estiman
que ell citado acuerdo lastima los
intereses de gran ndmero de sus
asociados, ha pedido al Sr Alca)de
Ia modification de la orden.
He aqn1 algunos parrafos del
escrito que Ell Sr Presiden de
la <Liga, ha dirjgido s la autori
dad local:
eDe las atribuclones que la Ley
Municipal concede a los Ayunta
mientos, no SO deduce que este SIC
halle revestido de facultades para

que 10 hace ell de San Juan; la

giene de la ciudad, pudo decretarse
circuuscri',iendola & casas especia
les que reclanan la aplicaci6n inme
data de tai reforma, pero nunca
coz la extension senalada por e1
Concejo Municipal>
sY no podia la Ley Otorgar di
cha ia u tad a los Municipios, en- la
forma que 10 hace el de la Capital,
porque cuando las condolences hi
gienicas de una casa, llenan las
pre- scripciones exigidas por la Glen
cia resulta lesivo los intereses
del propietario ell que 50 le quiera
obligar rea!izar una obra que no
necesita y que, ademas, jmpllca no
solo un gasto crecido en- la insta|a
cion de IL acometida, sino Ell pngo
de una suma permanente por ell uso
del aqua de- acueducto.
<Sin duda por estas razones, en-
Mayeguez Ponce y Guayama, tenien

dicho antes, de mejorar Ia hygiene

Por todas las considerations 5

NEW LEAVES" WET BLANKETS
Make Themselves and Everybody Around
Them Unhappy.

Now comes the melancholy time of
year when everyone is making resolu-
tions not to do the things they like
best to do, and the gloom and discon-
tent and general all-around pessimism
attendant upon such heroics, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
ITS all very well to resolve not to
smoke If it's bad for the health and
pocket" said pretty girl at a party
the other evening. But when a man
resolves not to smoke he ought also
to resolve not to look funereal over it.,
and make all his friends yearn to sup
ply him with pipes and cigars the in
slant he puts his gloomy face in the
door. It's bad enough to dance with
men who tell you frankly that parties
are bores and that they've only come
to oblige Mrs. c., but to have to sit
and talk to man whose mind is in
the clouds, whose nerves are In a
Jangle, and whose face suggests the
Knight of the rueful countenance'-

Billy Van Dusen. He likes 'Cinderel-
las any way, and he won't keep his
resolution long enough to make any
body unhappy. When it begins to bore
him and his friends, why, he'll just
break it and people will say, How like

THESE ARE SWELL DOGS.
How Fashionable Pets Are Costumed in
Paris

Paris.
Dog tailors have good time in
Paris. Under the impression that ma
ture has not provided the right kind
of coat for dog, the dog lovers-or
fashion lovers-of Paris has fostered a
new industry, the providing Of clothing
for ladies' pets. Some very interest
Ing and suggestive facts about this
industry are collected by Good Words.
Our clients belong to the very highest
classes of society" said one Of these
Partisan dog tailors. I'VE recently had
very remunerative order from the
daughter of diplomat in Paris for a
set of gala clothes for her dog to match
the liveries of her fathers lackeys.
She was about to be married, and as
she entered the residence after the
ceremony, her three dogs were to be
waiting for her at the top of the grand
staircase. They were to be dressed in
their liveries, and each was to have a
bouquet of orange blossoms attached
to its collar" Even this was exceeded
by another bride, who ordered for each
of her half dozen dogs regular brides
maids costume of white faille en-
broidered with lace and garlanded with
orange blossoms. White satin slippers
were also made to measure for each
four-footed pet. One step further have
these lovers of fashion gone in making
their dogs an excuse for fresh display.
Sets of fine linen must now be pro-
vided for the society dog. No self
respecting animal would think Of pos
sessing less than half dozen under
garments of fine lawn, If he is in
health, and of silk or surah if he is
subject to colds. A dozen embroid-
cred cambria handkerchiefs must be
added to his equipment if he is trou-
bled with watery eyes. A further trial
awaits him in the shape of boots OF
leather or rubber, as the case may be,
Bracelets and tie-pins, perfumery and
fancy soaps, ivory combs and brushes
make up the dogs toilet necessaries,
Surely II a fashionable Partisan dog
could speak, he would explain that his
foolish friends lead him the life of a
dog in the worst sense.

By recent invention of young
Danish engineer, it is possible to con-
meet photograph with telephone in
such a manner that the former be-
comes available for receiving the rec
ord of the speaker, in case the indi-
vldual with whom he desil es to com
municate is not at hand. This record
will reproduce the words of the
speaker at any time it is desired. The
photograph is said to be quite differ
ent from Edjson's, and much less
complicated. Instead of the wax
roller, steel band is used, and the
record can be wiped off in the same

FIGHTS WITH THE FILIPIN0S.
The Rebels are Making it Interesting for

The Rebels are Making it Interesting for
American Army.
Reports Of encounters between the
American troops and the insurgents
in the Philippines continue to arrive
from many points.
On Friday Captain Sturgis, while
accommodating struck an insurgent
OUTPOST on the Nevelisches road. FIVE
miles distant from Manila, killing two
and capturing ten. All were in full
uniform Unfortunately Captain
Sturgis' force was not large enough to
pursue the main body,
a detachment Of the Forty-second
Infantry while scouting in Laguna
province was pursued by the insur-
gents and obliged to take refuge in a
church at Paeto, where the Ameri-
cans repealed the enemy until rein
forcements arrived.
Lieutenant Gordon, with company
of the Sixteenth Infantry while
scouting near Apart, Cayogan pro-
vince, came upon $50 insurgents.
Lieutenant Gordon was wounded.
A sergeant and a corporal of Com
pany l, Eighteenth Infantry, were
killed in severe fight in Cadiz pro-
vince, island of Panay.
The insurgents made a night at
tack upon Calbayon, Island of Sa-
mar. They killed the sentry, swarmed
into the town and searched the house
of Major Gilmore, Forthythird In
fantry, who was absent. They killed
his cook. Ultimately the Americans
drove them out OF the town, killing
four and capturing several,
General Young, commanding in
North Luzon, has made several re-
quests for reinforcements, reporting
that his force is inadequate, that the
men are exhausted by the necessity
of constant vigilance, that he is una
Die to garrison the towns in his juris-
iiction; that the insurgents are re-
turning to the district and killing the
Amigos, and that it is necessary to
naict punishment in several sections
before the rainy season begins.
General James Bell, who is com
manding in Southern Luzon, has
made similar reports. He says his
forces are inadequate and that he
merely holds few towns, without
controlling the territory.
The president of the town Of
5amal, province of Bataar, Luzon,
and other prominent natives have
been assassinated because they were
known to be friendly to the Ameri-
cans.
The president of another town has
joined the insurgents because they
had threatened to kill him if he did

The notion that small and regular
doses of camphor impart to the com
plexion peculiar clear creaminess is
said by London physician to have
developed new habit among many
well-to-do young women. Like other
drug taking habits, this is difficult to
abandon after it is once established
Mild exhilaration and stupefaction are
produced, and the doses are often very
large. In some cases the effects are
hardly to be distinguished from those
OF alcohol. Extreme weakness gem
orally follows regular doses, and the
camphor- eaters all have a dreamy,

with constant longing to sleep. The

TRACED BY FINGER PRINTS.
Remarkable Cases In which Criminals
Were Thus Detected.

Remarkable Cases in which Criminals
Were Thus Detected.
The fasco of Berlin in the recent
Dreyfus trial at Rennes gives some ad-
ditiohal interest to the discussion on
finger prints that took place at the lat
est meeting of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science. Cal
ton read paper on the finger-prints OF
young children, in which he main
tanned that these prints, if properly
taken, would Suffice for after-identiti-
cation by an expert. The grave defect
in the Bertillon system is its reliance
upon a system of measurements-a de-
feet that does not exist, it is claimed,
in the more accurate system Of taking
prints. At the same meeting Mr.. E. K.
Henry, inspector general Of police in
Bengal, gave a demonstration with a
magnifying lantern of this same meth
cd. He claimed that the personal
equation" which vitiates results In the
Bertillon system of anthropometry, is
entirely eliminated in the printing
method. Finger prints, being absolute
impressions taken from the body, are
not so uncertain as set of measure
ments usually are. The method de-
scribed by Inspector General Henry is
ink is spread over a piece of tin, and
each finger in turn is pressed on the
film and then pressed on paper, by
which means a clear impression is Sc
cured. Mr.. Henry gave some remark
able illustrations of cases in which
criminals had been identified by their
finger-prints-one by finger-marks on
the soft paint Of window sill, and
another by blood marks made by the
fingers on the covers of book. In
consequence Of these remarkable facts,
the legislature In India had amended
the law of evidence With such re-
spectacle authority to vouch for it, this
method may yet rise In esteem in
American courts of justice. English
prison officials are not, as a class, like
ly to become enamored of any mere
theoretical scheme-a reproach to
which the French will possibly be ex-
posed by the extravagant demonstra-
ton made by Bertillon. At any rate,
this system Of Identification by means
of finger-prints seems worthy of fur
ther experimental trial, and would be
GOOD held for soma of our prison off,
cials to utilize In order to demonstrate
that they take an interest in the sci
ence Of criminology.-M journal.
