Mrs. Carrie Nation Fares Badly

The Police Judge Fines Her
and Orders Her Out
of Town
No Sympathy For Hatchet Swinger
in Missouri.

A despatch from Kansas City states that
Mrs. Carrie Nation, arrested on charge of
Obstructing the street, was arraigned before

later boarded a street car for Kansas City,
Kan.
Mrs. Nation appeared in court early &C.
companied by her brother and woman
friend. The court room was thronged by a
curious crowd. Several cases where called
before Mrs Nations and she watched the
proceedings Will manifest impatience. When
Judge McAuley finally asked her what she
had to say respecting the charge against
her, she delivered TRADE against the p0-
lice and court, She pleaded that she was
merely acaiting for car when arrested and
was making the best of her time, meanwhile,
by taking to the crowd which had gathered.
A policeman testified that several cars
had passed without Mrs. Nation making an
attempt to board any of them. Mrs. Nation
fatty denied the statement.

warned her not to come to town againt. Tbs
fine was suspended. The crowd applaude(
the decision and followed the woman to Cal
bound for the Kansas side of the river.

SAN JUAN, MAY 16, 1901.
The New Porto RiCan
Steamship Pier.

1t seems to be settled that the New York
and Porto Rlcan Steamship Company will.
as soon as practicable, commence the con
Structon of a new pier to take the place OF
the one recently destroyed by fire. 1t is said
that experience is a severe teacher, bu, that
her lessons, once learned are not easily
forgotten. This seems tO.be the case with
the Porto Rican Steamship COMPANY, for it
is reported that the new structure which the
Company intends to erect will he such a one
as will withstand the destructive force Of the
clements, even fire.
THIS is as it should be, but no matter of
what materials built, the nelc pier should lie
carefully guarded against the attacks Of
incendiaries, Of whose adrOitneSS the Com.
pany must now be painfully aware
Bat there is another side to this PROPOSE
tl0n. We presume that for the rebuilding
OF the pier a new concession will be neces.
sary. This, instead of, as before, taking the
form Of a revocabe license from the Secret
airy OF War, must now he secured from the
Executive Council of Porto Rico.
The Council, as well as the steamship
Company, will doubtless he guided hy eK-
perlence in the working Of The old pier. 1t
has been stated by the Naval auth lrities,
among others, that the extreme length Of the
old pier, $50 feet, was calculated to cause
serious trouble III TIE h9rbOr, on account Of
the conflicting currents, and that in time,
and not very long time either, the iullng
up caused by the pier would have seriously
inter.ered with the approaches to the Naval
Station.
1t has been suggested, to avoid these com
plications, that the new pier should take the
form of an l., say 80 or 700 feet straight cut
AID 800 or $50 feet to the East.
All these questions will undoubtedly re
ceive the attention they deserve from the
Executive Council and we doubt not that its
final action will include liberality tucards
Steamship Company with the proper safe
guarding of the interests of the port and
harbor

Poor Crops Reported from Prussia.
Serious Damage Done
by Cold Weather in March.

A despatch from Berlin states that the
PrusSian crop report, just issued, shoes
the worst condition since these reports have
been kept. Winter wheat is given at 9 10,
as against 2 10 last year. The scale be-
gins at l-perfect, and is very poor.
Winter rye is given at 3, the same as last
year. OF the winter cheat area 26 clio
per cent. was frozen out and must be re-
plOughed as against > $40 per cent. last
year. The report adds that the damage
done by the cold Weather in March was
heavy. Many districts report the condition
utterly bad. TIE extent of the damage will
only be determinable in May.

One of the most delightful oc-
casions of the season, and one in
which everyone entered earnestly
into the program OF seeing that
everybody else was having a good
time, was the hop given at the
Olympic Club Tuesday night by
the jewish ladies, for the purpose
of raising money for their new
cemetery Everything about the
entertainment was good and it
can be justly termed a great
slccess. The ladies who had the
entertainment in charge were Mrs.
S. Blum, Mrs. r. Frankel, Mrs.
l.. D. Weiss and Mrs. Sol Brill.
The attractive show windows
of the Golden Eagle store serve
as magnet to draw the people
into this magnificent emporium
of fashion. And once inside one
sees so many things at such Tempt
ing prices that it is impossible to
leave the store without making
some purchases. Mr.. Horner, the
buyer and dress goods salesman,
proves the trnth of the old adage
that ''goods bought right are half
sold. Mr.. Halter found in Mr..
Horner the right man for the
right place, and these two gentle
men are making a big success Of
