Current News Notes,
Local And General.

The Secretary of Porto Rico has sent th,
following circular letter to Alcalde's throug
hout the Island, respecting the closing o.
business establishments ON legal holidays
This letter should put at rest long prevail
ing doubt respecting the right to keep oper
on legal holidays:
s.Sir:
Several cases have been reported to thii
Office in which Alcsldes of tfsrent munic
ipaiities have assumed that is was illegal to
labor or transact business on legal holidays
in Porto Rico. This mistake has probably
been caused by a confusion in the matter Of
holidays with the so-called SUNDAY Closing
Law which was passed by the last Legis
lative Assembly.
You are hereby advised ,that..tbe law does
not prohibit any person from carrying on
any legal bushes or occupation on any legal
holiday established by the laws of Porto
Rico, except such prohibition as is contained
in the said Sunday Law, which only pro-
vides for the closing of certain industrial
and mercantile establishments after twelve
O'Clock on. every Sunday. 1t is the custom
of the Government to cause all public Offices
to remain closed on such legal holidays, and
all persons are usually requested by the Gov
ernor TO refran from labor or carrying on
their usual business on such days, but there
is no law which requires the cessasion of
business or labors on holidays or which pro-
vides any penalty in connection Herewith.
You are therefore respectfully advised
that under the laws OF Porto Rico any person
is entitled to carry on any lawful business,
occupation or pursuit, on any of the legal
holidays established by law, with the excep.
tion of the prohibitions contained in the
Sunday Law

President Roosevelt has established a

White House affairs, which has given the

benceforth is authoritative unless it bears

bureau. The first official bulletin was issued
Saturday in typewritten form, and gives the
correct version of an Incident concerning
which the public has been much Interested
and misinformed. II says:

about Miss Roosevelt not going to the coro.

morning said. "No invitation aCbatsver
was received from the German court for
Miss Roosevelt, and nothing from the Eng

Miss Roosevelt was to go. The matter had
simply been talked over exactly as half q
dozen other plans were talked over. Seme
OF these plans have been adopted and some
have not. This is one OF the plans which,
for various reasons, it was decided not to
adopt"

A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST.
In Reply To Some Recent Criti-

Boston. Mass, Feb "a. 1902.
Editor The Advertiser.
l have read with considerable interest
an editorial in your issue of the 18th in
which you quote from The New Bedford
Standard. You say, Take the case of
man who Is the sole dependence of his
wife and children for a living; If he
sacrifices his life. either through relig-
ious enthusiasm or from prejudice, has
he not wronged that wife and children by
failing to take proper precautions against
ing into any discussion of the truth or
falsity, or the right or wrong, of the
Christian Science belief, we maintain that
1t is the duty of parents to remain with
and protect and provide for their off,
spring as long as they can, and hence, we
deny that anyone, a parent especially.
has the moral right to jeopardize his or
her life by a refusal to receive needed
medical attention"
/ am very glad that you inserted the
word needed" in the last part of your
statement That word enables me to en-
dorse what you have said. but we fear 1t
might be difficult to determine just when
medicine is needed" Having been a
practitioner of Christian Science for
many years and having witnessed the
healing of great many cases outside of
my own experience, am ready to say
without hesitency that 1 consider medi
cine to be needed only for those who are
not yet ready to take Christian Science
in its stead.
your whole argument Is wrong because
your premise Is erroneous You assume
that a dependence upon Christian Sci
ence to the exclusion of medicine is neg
lect; that reliance upon this faith to
the exclusion of medicine means simply
to sacrifice a means of cure for that
which does not cure. Before passing
judgment in this manner 1t is due Chris
tan Scientists that you should make
thorough investigation of the good re-
suits of Christian Science practice, and
that you should also reckon into your So
luton of the problem that the practice
of medicine Is by no means a perfect
success, that thousands of people in this
world have exhausted all hope In recov-
cry from material remedies, and have
been pronounced incurable from a medi-
cal standpoint.
Christian Science has healed multitudes
of these cases and from the viewpoint of
a Christian Scientist has proved itself
far superior to any other known remedy.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that the
adherents of this faith are doing nothing
for themselves because they resort to
Christian Science treatment instead of
the practice of medicine. Is an inanimate
drug a greater power than omnipotent
God? Alfred Farlow

IKE FIRE-PRooF BUILDINGS.

The recent catastrophe at the Park
Avenue Hotel, in New York. resulting in
fearful loss of life, again brings up and
emphasizes the subject of fire-proof build
ings. One of the claims on public patron
age made by this house was that it was
fire-proof and absolutely safe from burn
ing By this claim the owners of the
property made themselves responsible for
the safety of the guests and to certain
extent ensured their lives. They prac-
tically said to the public: You can go
to sleep with the assurance that the
building cannot burn. and you will be in
no danger if a fire should break out in
any portion of it. Yet, when the test
came the building burned almost as
easily as an ordinary wooden shack
would have DONE and men. women and
children lost their lives.
The problem of building a really fire.
sroof house is a difficult one. The walls
may be fire-proof under all ordinary con-
ditions but that is ALL The wooden
floors will burn, and wooden stair-ways
will communicate the flames from one
cases and other fixtures are of wood,
rendered doubly infiammable by the paint
and varnish on them, and they help
to feed the flames. The intense heat
from the burning wood causes the iron
and steel Orders and supports to twist
and expand, often throwing the walls
down to complete the destruction begun
by the flames. In short. an imitation
proof building is the most dangerous
of all for large crowds.
In the case of the Park Avenue Hotel
it seems pretty plain that the law regu-
lating, the building and fitting of such
structures was grossly disregarded. Not
only was the building itself lacking in
necessary to make it fre-proof but there
was a notable lack of fire-escapes or other
means of providing for the safety OF
guests. The building was faulty in con-
struction and the builders and owners
were criminally negligent in failing to
provide means of escape for the inmates
The assurances of safety were false
pretences.
Can a building really be so constructed
that fire will not destroy it? The New
York Tribune claims that it can be done
and cites its own building in evidence
some of the essential features being thus
set out:
The walls are of brick and granite

will use 1t as an argument against the
nomination of the President. II, on the
other hand, the predictions Of the beet
sugar people should not come true, and
the Republicans are again successful, tho
Presidents friends will claim for him
and his Cuban policy the credit for the
victory.
1t is an open secret here that the Presi-
dent and Senator Hanna are both in the
field for the Presidential nomination. and
their friends have already begun active
campaigns In their behalf, 1t Is believed
that early In the next Congressional cam

thorized announcement of Senator Ham
mas candidacy will be made.
Democrats here, as a rule. look with
favor on the announcement made by VIII
liam F: Sheehan, In favor OF the nominal
ton of David B. Hill for Governor of
New York. They realize that Hill IL a
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for President in 1904, and they believe
that II he is willing to stake the Presi-
Dental chances on the gubernatorial fight

took the place at the head of the. State
ticket he ought to be favored with an
opportunity of doing so.
