Creo que Puerto Rico de-
be defender su exis tencia, por todos
las medios legales 6 ilegales, no
omitiendo ningun sacrificio por
grande cue sea.
Muy buena me parece Ii idea
de fundar nm periodico puertorrt.

ces pOr semana; sinO un periodico
diar.o y bilingne mitad en- espaf.ol
y mitad en- ingles; un gran peri6dico
fundado por acciones entre puerto
torriquef1os y espe1oles, los cuales
deben estar tan interesados como
los puertorrlqueflos en- que Puerto
Rico sostenga su existencia
Un peri6dico denunciador, acu
sador, aggressive, impulsivo terrible.

ACROSS THE STATE
An Electric Line viii Be Built by a
New Company.

Columbus, o., March 2.-The incor.
poration today of the Columbus, Della
ware & Northern Traction company
seems to warrant the conclusion that
Cleveland and Cincinnati will soon be
connected by electric lines. The
southern terminus of the proposed
railroad will be in Columbus, and the
northern terminus will either be in
Mt. Vernon or Marion. A trolley line
between Cleveland and Akron is al.
ready constructed, and it seems to be
the scheme to build continuous route
between Cleveland and Columbus. Up.
on the completion of the Columbus,
London and Springfield line, one may
ride by street car from Columbus to
Cincinnati. The connecting of the
two largest cities in the state thus
seems to be practically assured.
The incorporators of the new COM
pany are James M. Loren, o. j. Mitch
ell, Herman G.. Dennison, James M.
Schooler and Lorenzo M. Baker, all of
this city. Eastern capitalists are in
terested in the company, which is cap
italized at 100000.

FOR NoN.sUppORT.

Youngstown, March 1.-Warrants
were issued this morning by Justice
Webb at the instance of the Humane
society for the arrest of four boys, the
sons of George Booth, we'll known
and highly respected citizen but who,
unfortunately, is poor. Poverty, how
ever, in the eyes of right thinking peo-
pie Is not a disgrace and that Is why
old Mr.. Booth is a highly respected
citizen.
1t appears that Mr.. Booth has been
i'll for some time past and his condi-
ton become such that 1t was necessary
to send him to the city hospital. Now
that the old gentlemen is in the city
hospital he has no one to pay for his
keeping there and in fact any other
place.
A number of we'll known citizens be-
came acquainted with the facts and
called the attention of the Humane So
ciety officials to the matter. Accord
ingly warrants were issued In Squire
Webb's court today for the arrest of
the Booth boys and the documents were
placed in the hands of Constable Joe
Williams to get service and arrest the
accused trio.
There is a law which specifically
states that it is compulsory for children
to support their parents who on ac-
count of old age, sickness or any other
complaint or trouble are unable to care
for themselves. Warrants for arrests
under this law have caused embarrass-
ment to many well known young men
who were considered good fellows"
but who refused to contribute to the
support of the old folks who were re-
sponsible for their existence.

CALLED HIM LILY.
How the Naval Academy Boys
Viewed Roar Admiral
Sampson.

Chicago, March 2.-The Record prints
special from William e. Curtis, IN
which he discusses the Sampson-Mor-
gan affair as follows:
I am receiveing a good many letters
from readers of The Record all con-
firming what l said in regard to the
aristocratic and exclusive tendency of
the navy, and all expressions Of opinion
here in Washington show that Admiral
Simpsons recent letter Is approved and
endorsed by nearly every officer in his
branch of the service. Admiral Samp-
sons views on this subject have always
been known. He has frequently ex-
pressed himself in the same manner.
There is scarcely an officer in the navy
who has not done so. l understand 1t
to be the most universal judgment of the
navy that course of four years at the
naval academy, with instructions in
dancing and department, is necessary
to give the polish and refinement re-
quired for an officer. Nobody objects
to the appointment to that academy of
boys who have not had social advan-
tages. Some Of the best officers in the
navy were originally sailors and a larg-
er part came from the farms.
Admiral Sampson is of the humblest
parentage. His father was a ditch
digger at Palmyra, N. Y, man of in
tellfgence, good character and deep re-
ligious convictions. Admiral Sampson
earned the money which paid his ex-
penses to Annapolis by assisting his
father digging bitches, grubbing stumps
and in other similar employment.
Three of his assmates-Admirals
Cromwell, Higginsons and Rogers-are
now in Washington. Admiral Wat
son, who was one class ahead of him
with Schley, and other men who were
in the academy at the same time, all
testify that Sampson was about the
greenest Gay" that ever appeared at
the academy, but at the same time he
attracted immediate attention because
of his handsome appearance and intel
lectual ability. His pink and white
complexion gave him the nickname of
Lilly" which stuck to him through his
entire course, and his gawky, awkward
manners were in striking contrast to
his handsome head and face.
