"A NEW GERMAN MOVE.

Germany has recently appointed its
first salaried consul to Central Amer
lea.
The trade between Germany and
Central America annually amounts to
from 81, 100000 to $11, 100000.
German farms and plantations oc-
cupy more than 742,000 acres, on
which are planted 2o,o0o,0oo coffee
trees.
The Germans in Central America
occupy prominent position, both in
a business and social way. They
are owners or managers of extensive
commercial and agricultural enter
prises, of important railroads and
electrical plants. They are excellent
physicians and teachers, and, in fact,
are foremost in every profession,
trade and occupation.
Those who are familiar with the
thoroughness of German methods
generally, with the wonderful prog
ress this nation has been making dur
ing the past dozen years in almost
every field of human activity, ane
huo" now dleTJ III is 10 eAttnu ltS
trade into every quarter of the globe,
need not be told that the recent re-
organization of the German consular
service in Central America is step
of no mean Importance.
1t has been officially stated by the
German government that there are
invested in Central America, in real
estate, industrial enterprises and
banking business, $50, SOC, 900; and the
large German business houses which
are quite numerous in Nicaragua,
Guatemala and Costa Rica not only
transact all the business between Ger
many and Central America, but also
control most of the trade between the
latter and England and California.
In Guatemala the Germans control
almost one-half the entire coffee and
sugar crops. 1t is in this state that
Germany, too, takes foremost place
in the foreign trade, and one would
naturally expect that the first Ger
man consulate would open its head
quarters in Guatemala; but Nicaragua
was preferred, as the future canal
across the isthmus makes that sec
tion of Central America most impor-
tant to all the great powers in the
world.

DESTROYED Contraband Liquor.

A special from Warren says: "A
depository of contraband liquors was
invaded by small party of ladies.
and in a few minutes a number of
jugs of whisky and bottles of beer
were completely demolished The
ladies went to work with a will, and a
good sized stock of liquors was soon
put out of the way. The place where
the liquor was found has for some
time been suspected of being a de-
pository for what is called the Beer
Club" and the frequent visitations of
boys and young men to the place be-
came so public that the ladies took
the matter In hand and did what they
say the town authorities should have
done long since"
